What if the language of money is actually a social skill? At work dinners, networking events, and founder circles, people casually throw around phrases like “Series B,” “cap table,” and “private equity acquisition.” And if you don’t speak this language, it’s easy to feel like an outsider. 
In today’s Remix episode, we’re combining two of our most informative episodes:  Venture Capital 101 and Private Equity 101.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know: who to take money from; when not to, and how to protect yourself when capital enters the room.
Tune in for tactical lessons on: 
✅ The need-to-know concepts of Venture Capital and Private Equity
✅ How startups go from seed → Series A → unicorn
✅ Why venture capital is actually a power game built on networks and social capital
✅ How PE firms make billions through leveraged buyouts 
✅ What it means for you as an employee, founder, or customer when PE takes over

Take it from us: once you understand how capital moves, you start to see the incentives behind every decision… and the power behind every company.

What if the most important skill for your career, relationships, and life… is simply learning how to ask? Today, we sit down with former CEO of Match Group, Mandy Ginsberg, to explore what really happens at the intersection of love, data, power, and reinvention. From scaling the business behind Tinder and Match, to serving on nearly 14 boards (and counting) throughout her career, Mandy teaches the art of making high stakes decisions. 
We get into:
✅Why “just ask” is one of the most underrated career skills (and why women are less likely to do it)
✅The real impact of asking for raises, promotions, and opportunities, and how it compounds over time
✅How to recognize when it’s time to leave (even at the top) and how to reinvent yourself
✅The mindset shift from operator → board member 
✅How top companies think about compensation, incentives, and the psychology of risk
✅The power of community-building as a leadership skill
✅ How to intentionally build relationships that compound across your entire career

Plus, we explore the human side of leadership; from running a company alongside your closest collaborator, to learning that you don’t have to be the star player to build something iconic.
If you’ve ever wondered how to ask for more, when to walk away, or how to navigate power in your career, this episode is your playbook. Because at every level, you don’t get what you deserve… you get what you ask for.

Everyone is talking about AI, but most people are still using it like a Google search. In this episode of the Tiger Sisters podcast, we show you how to actually use AI as a personal life upgrade tool to become healthier, happier, and yes… even hotter.

From personalized workout plans and nutrition systems to beauty analysis, productivity hacks, and mindset prompts, AI is quickly becoming one of the most powerful everyday tools available. The people who know how to use it well are gaining a serious advantage, and we want you to have that too. 

Tune in for lessons on:
✅ How AI can help navigate conflict, customer service, and awkward conversations
✅ AI prompts for stress management, journaling, and mental clarity
✅ The viral prompts people are using to optimize skincare, style, and appearance
✅ Using AI to analyze outfits, makeup, and personal aesthetics
✅ How to use AI as a personal trainer and workout planner
✅ Turning AI into a nutritionist and meal-planning assistant

We also share important warnings about where AI gets things wrong, how to protect your privacy, and why AI should be treated as a TOOL and NOT a doctor, therapist, or best friend.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually use AI in your everyday life and not just for work, this episode is for you.

**DISCLAIMER: AI is a tool, not a doctor or sentient advisor; so please make sure to double-check anything high-stakes and be careful about sharing personal health information.

Most people spend more time with their boss than with their family. So if that relationship is toxic, it doesn’t just make work harder… it can actually impact your career trajectory, mental health, reputation, and financial future. 

In this episode, we break down how to identify a truly toxic boss (not just a demanding one), strategic moves if you realize you’re in a bad situation, and what to do if *you’re* actually the toxic boss. We also share YOUR anonymous workplace horror stories and discuss what we can learn from them.

Tune in for specific lessons on:
 ✅ The 5 biggest red flags of a truly toxic boss
 ✅ How toxic managers damage careers, teams, and mental health
 ✅ What to do before escalating to HR (and why HR isn’t always your savior)
 ✅ Strategic ways to protect your reputation and plan your exit
 ✅ How to evaluate whether a future boss is actually a great leader
 ✅ A self-check exercise: what if you’re accidentally becoming the toxic boss?

If you’ve ever wondered if your boss is toxic or if you’re overreacting, or why your job may feel so psychologically draining, then this episode is for you. Because at the end of the day: your boss can accelerate your career… or quietly destroy it.

Most people still underestimate what the biggest creator-led businesses have quietly become. In this Tiger Sisters episode, Jean and Cherie sit down with Andrew Yaffe, CEO of Dude Perfect, the team behind one of the most iconic YouTube brands in the world, with 60+ million subscribers and $100M raised from Wall Street.

This is a rare, behind-the-scenes conversation about how a YouTube channel actually turns into a real, institutional-grade business spanning media, IP, merchandise, live experiences, and private equity investment. Andrew breaks down what it takes to scale a YouTube brand without losing its soul, why Dude Perfect waited YEARS before taking outside capital, and how they built a company that could outlast algorithms, trends, and platforms.

Tune in for lessons on: 
✅ How Dude Perfect scaled from viral videos into a diversified media empire
✅ Why Wall Street backed a YouTube brand with $100M in private equity
✅ How to build IP, not just content
✅ The biggest mistakes creators make when trying to “monetize” too early
✅ How Dude Perfect thinks about longevity, leadership, and staying relevant
If you’re wondering how investors evaluate creator businesses, how leadership decisions change at scale, and why the future of media looks more like a modern entertainment company than a YouTube channel… then this episode is for you.
