Zoe McGrady’s journey to FinTech didn’t start in a boardroom, it started on a wrestling mat, where she was the only girl on her high school team. That experience taught her resilience, strategy, and how to thrive in spaces where she wasn’t necessarily expected. It’s a mindset that carried her through Duke’s engineering school, a major career pivot into tech, a growing presence in the world of modeling and mentorship, and even a memorable run on ABC’s The Bachelor.

In this episode of Technically, A Podcast, Mia sat down with Zoe McGrady: engineer, product manager, model, youth mentor, and all-around powerhouse. They talked about her transition from mechanical engineering to product management in FinTech, how wrestling against all boys on her high school team shaped her approach to work, and how a mindset shift helped her embrace big opportunities—even when they scared her.
