I'm so privileged to have been asked into [WIRexec](https://www.womeninresearch.org/wirexec/), an elite group of highly successful women in market research. Over the years, they have become a tribe of sorts. We share failures equal to successes and hold space for each other as we think through the next steps in our careers and companies. I've shared my learnings from many of the speakers, like one of my favorites, [Anese Cavanaugh](https://www.anesecavanaugh.com/), and have interviewed many of them on my podcast. I also get to see many of them as I speak on the conference circuit. We all get the privilege of meeting up in places like London, Chicago, Brooklyn and Austin.
