Description

Welcome to another episode of The Thinking Leader podcast, brought to you by Red Team Thinking. Bad leaders react, good leaders plan, and great leaders think. Each week, Bryce and Marcus bring you actionable ideas and insights that you can use to think more strategically and lead more effectively so that you can better navigate your complex world.
 In this episode, Bryce and Marcus are joined by Molly MacDonald, founder and CEO of The Pink Fund, which provides 90 days of non-medical financial aid to cover basic cost of living expenses such as housing, transportation, utilities, and health insurance for people undergoing breast cancer treatment in the United States.
Molly knows what it’s like to battle the financial burdens of breast cancer while undergoing treatment to battle the disease. Diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in April 2005, the disease was unlikely to take her life, but took her livelihood. She was between jobs and unable to start her new job as planned. Her family’s already tight budget was immediately overburdened with the addition of a monthly COBRA health insurance premium, coupled with the loss of her income. 
Since its founding through January 2022 The Pink Fund has made millions of dollars in bill payments on behalf of breast cancer survivors in active treatment. 
Molly talks with Bryce and Marcus about: 

Fixing the problems everyone else is ignoring.
How to avoid shutting down great ideas from your team.
Creating a culture where nobody’s afraid to speak up.
