Can you make money AND do good? COO at 24 Victoria Pelletier says yes — through conscious capitalism.

Victoria Pelletier became COO at 24, led 40+ mergers and 100+ restructures at companies including IBM, and is known as a turnaround queen. In this Political No-Brainer conversation with host Jeff Rabinowitz, she breaks down why culture beats strategy, how AI will demand higher-value human skills, why K-12 education must change, and why DEI is good business — not just the right thing to do.

From starting work at age 11 to leading boardrooms as the only woman at the table, Victoria shares her no-excuses mindset, her take on participation-trophy culture, and her favorite rule: "Everything you've ever wanted lives on the other side of fear."
