Lessons Learned From Female Founders and BossedUp Conferences

I especially liked the conference because I learned about the female perspective. My wife isn't a startup founder, but has a similarly stressful job (flies F/A-18's in stressful, life-threatening situations), with similar hours (14hrs/day and often weekends), in a similar environment (male-dominated Marine Corps). I often wonder how she'll manage her work when we have kids...everything from pregnancy to making time for the kids when she's busy. It's easier for me since I work at home now, but she'll deal with the same challenges that some of the founders mentioned. And knowing her, she'll feel incredibly guilty for not being around.
Anyway, I enjoyed the conference, learned a lot, and look forward to it next year.
