Today's guest is someone pretty special to Emily Tisch Sussman—it's her mom, Laurie Tisch. Laurie grew up as the only girl in a big, loud family full of brothers and cousins, navigating public scrutiny while quietly figuring out who she really was. She navigated the complexities to become a woman carved out an identity that was entirely, unmistakably her own.    On this special Mother's Day episode, Laurie sits down with Emily to talk about founding her own philanthropic foundation, becoming a force in New York's arts and education world, and ownership of the New York Giants.   Chapters:   00:00.160 Welcome to She Pivots 00:30.560 Laurie Tisch Guest Introduction 01:46.573 Childhood and Early Life 05:14.523 Finding Her Own Path 09:20.254 Laurie Returns to New York City 13:18.880 Laurie's Entrance to Philanthropy and Culture 17:02.562 The Impact of The Children's Museum 22:17.107 Definitions of Success 24:32.977 The Illumination Fund: A New Chapter 28:54.791 Sports and Family Legacy 34:44.022 Low Point to Launch Point 35:27.726 My Mom's Favorite She Pivots Episodes! 37:00.210 Closing Thoughts and Happy Mother's Day! 37:26.519 Podcast Credits   Check out the Laurie M.
