Closers.io

In this episode of Founders, Future, host Jae Encarnacion sits down with Gloria Feldt, Co-Founder and President of Take The Lead Women, a nonprofit revolutionizing women’s leadership development. Gloria shares her inspiring journey from Planned Parenthood CEO to pioneering gender parity in leadership through mindset shifts, power tools, and her unique "intentioning" framework. She discusses the challenges of scaling a mission-driven organization, the impact of her programs (where 40% of participants land leadership roles or pay raises within 6 months), and her vision for the future—including AI-powered learning with her new "digital twin."

Gloria also highlights her upcoming Power Up Conference (August 25–26 in DC) and her push to help women think bigger—whether in corporate roles or entrepreneurship. From rejecting the myth that women need "empowerment" (they already have power!) to embracing chaos as opportunity, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for leaders and founders alike.
