Episode 4: Yolanda Cochran, Production Executive, Producer

Yolanda Cochran, Production Executive, Producer

Yolanda started out as a CPA with KPMG and a production auditor at Disney. Not too many years later, she was Executive Vice President of Physical Production at Alcon Entertainment, where she oversaw a ton of movies – Point Break, Dolphin Tale 1 & 2, The Blind Side and my favorite, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. We dug deep into the important issues….like exclusively breastfeeding while being a badass at work.  Believe us when we say, it is not easy!  We also talked about the notion that for women to be more successful they need to behave like men.  Is that true?  Or can we shift the paradigm?

Episode 3: Jennifer Warren, Actor, Director, Producer

Jennifer Warren began her career as an Actor on Broadway, Television and in Films.  Some credits include Night Moves, Slap Shot and Cagney and Lacey.  She won an Academy Award for the short documentary she co-produced, You Don’t Have to Die, and she directed several award winning feature films.  She is also a founding member of the Alliance of Women Directors and teaches at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. We talked about how she encourages the young women of today to exhibit more political thought and not be so complacent about their basic rights.  She is an activist, a mentor, an inspiration.
