S3 Episode 12: Laura Pugliano on Entrepreneurship and Family Business

Catholic Women Lead

CWIB Presidents Taryn DeLong and Elise Crawford Gallagher’s new book, Holy Ambition: Thriving as a Catholic Woman at Work and at Home, is out and ⁠⁠⁠⁠available for purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Season 3 of Catholic Women Lead will share excerpts from Elise and Taryn’s interviews with 16 Catholic businesswomen. Their stories are included in the book, but there wasn’t room for all of their wisdom, so we’re sharing it here on our podcast.

In episode 12, Laura Pugliano, founder of Ciccio’s Olives, shares her career journey, her advice to young women in business, and what it’s like running a business with your husband—while raising children.
