In the podcast, Simonson spoke in detail about her mindset of making things better for people around her. Contrary to common perception, she also revealed that she is an introvert, and this trait has made her powerful as a person. Farrar and Simonson discussed Empowery eCommerce Cooperative at length. Simonson mentioned that she founded it to help e-commerce entrepreneurs succeed in business and life.

When asked about her experience working in a male-dominated industry, Simonson said, "I think that it can be fairly intimidating. But for me, I think that it's all in how you approach it. It's how you approach it. Conversation with a group of guys -- I know the feeling of being hesitant to approach that conversation and feel like you're excluded or not feel like you can connect with the people who are men most of the time. But I think that in practice, it's about your perspective and your approach."

Farrar and Simonson chatted about many other interesting facts and life events during the show. Toward the end of the episode, Simonson mentioned that she could be contacted via her official website and social media platforms.
