Did you know that almost all athletic shoes on the market have been designed, researched and tested on men? When Lindsay Housman discovered this, she and her husband, founded Hettas, a company creating running shoes optimized for women. Today, Lindsay joins the podcast to share why becoming a disruptor in this space is so important to her. We discuss: 
Why women are left out of research for shoes (and so many other things)
Why women's feet are fundamentally different than men
How wearing shoes designed for men impacts women's health. 
 How Hettas came to be and why she started this company much earlier than she thought. 
Why it's important to her to never settle for the status quo
Founding, self-funding and running this company while currently working another full time job
What she hopes to accomplish with Hettas and exactly how their shoes are different
Why she believes women would be in sports longer if they had proper athletic shoes. 
How women are treated so differently when it comes to raising venture capital.

Can heartbreak change who you are forever? Or is the real challenge making sure it doesn't? In this episode of QUESTION EVERYTHING, Danielle sits down with writer, storyteller, and Love Island USA: Aftersun host Tefi Pessoa for an unforgettable conversation about heartbreak, healing, and the version of yourself you lose after being hurt. Most people think heartbreak is about grieving another person. Tefi argues it's often about grieving the person you were before they broke your trust, the version of yourself that loved easily, believed people, and wasn't afraid to hope. Together, Danielle and Tefi explore how to move through heartbreak without becoming cynical, why protecting your tenderness matters more than protecting your pride, and how to heal without losing yourself in the process.
What she's learned from her own heartbreak.
Why love is still worth believing in after being hurt.
How to keep heartbreak from hardening your heart.
How she refuses to compromise who she is in relationships.
Why she turns to her "tribe" before ending a relationship.
What we're often really mourning after a breakup.
How to recognize the traits in someone that are unlikely to change.
When it's worth listening to friends who tell you, "You can do better."
What it's like navigating heartbreak in the public eye.
Why there's courage in choosing an ordinary, authentic life.
How men and women often experience heartbreak differently.
