Hi, my name is Marilyn McNeal and I am the producer for Work Life 24.

Work Life 24 is a podcast where I talk with friends, former students, project partners, and colleagues - about work. I ask each guest to reflect on the evolution of their work skills and career and what it is in the early 21st century to be a worker.

In this episode, I get into conversation with Lauren Taylor, a Principal at REDF where she supports investments in entrepreneurs and enterprises scaling revenue and impact. REDF is a venture catalyst investing in the country's most innovative social enterprises.

Lauren is also Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Zero Gravity Agency, a mission-driven consulting firm that supports investors, funders, and entrepreneurs with capacity-building technical assistance that accelerates growth and impact.

Outside of these roles, Lauren is a mentor for Nasdaq, as well as a member of Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad and Pipeline Angels, two groups that invest their personal income in early-stage entrepreneurs.
