Genius Leadership: Overcoming Everything Podcast

Solving the Third Shift Challenges, or When Cleaning Your Toilet Several Times a Day Can Be Fun - with Alma Dora Rikardsdottir

Feels extra special to release this conversation just when my husband and I celebrated 12 years together. Because many relationships don't last as long, or don't get to be in the great space that we're in after a dozen years with each other.
My today's guest, Alma Dora Rikardsdottir, knows a ton about why relationships fail and is committed to solving one of the top divorce reasons with her company, HEIMA. 
In this episode, you will hear about:
what's the third shift and why it matters for our progress as a society
difference between the terms "fair" and "equal"
making household chores more manageable and sometimes even fun is possible, with HEIMA
what can investors do if they want to be a part of the solution for female entrepreneurs thriving
Alma's take on hiring women "just because" they are women
