Good Girls Eat Dinner
Welcome to Good Girls Eat Dinner, the most interesting dinner party you'll ever go to, now in takeaway form.
Since 2015 we’ve been on a mission to provide more visible, female role models across the creative industries and beyond. At our popular real-life events we serve up four gloriously inspiring female speakers between the courses of a delicious meal. It always leaves everyone hungry for more, so here on the podcast we’ll dedicate a whole episode to each incredible guest. We won't be eating dinner but you certainly can!
Join me, Jo Wallace (Executive Creative Director by day, founder of Good Girls Eat Dinner by night) as I ask female pioneers to share their experiences, stories and advice. To leave you full of inspiration.
