The following is a conversation between Christen Brandt, Co-Founder of She's the First, and Co-author of Impact: A Step-by-Step Plan to Create the World You Want to Live In, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.

All over the world, girls are treated as second to boys. Far too often, girls are denied an education, told who and when to marry, and blocked from leadership positions. Educated and respected girls are the exception, not the norm.

That is why the organization my next guest helps lead puts girls first. She is Christen Brandt, co-founder and COO of She's the First and co-author of Impact: A Step-by-Step Plan to Create the World You Want to Live In.
