About this listen

Women Who Make It is the podcast where the real conversations in food and beverage happen. Hosted by Angela Dodd, founder & CEO of Females in Food, the show shares unfiltered stories, hard-won lessons, and leadership insights from the women shaping the future of the food industry.


After years of building a global community and connecting with thousands of women across every sector, Angela noticed something: the most powerful advice didn’t come from panels or press releases. It came from hallway chats and candid, behind-the-scenes moments. This podcast takes those private conversations public.


Whether you're growing your career, leading a team, launching something new, or navigating what's next, Women Who Make It delivers honest conversations, actionable takeaways, and the inspiration to make it—on your terms.
