Jean Chou and I met when we were both newly out of law school and newly out of the closet.

I’ve wanted to interview her for a while, so we finally got together so I could pick her brain about her perspectives on lesbian dating and relationships as well as the patterns she had to break and the lessons she had to learn in order to grow her successful law practice and navigate her professional and personal relationships.

During the episode Jean Chou and I discuss:

• Coming out to immigrant parents as a first-generation American, from a conservative family…
  
• How platonic friendships with women change after coming out…
  
• Why straight women flirt with lesbians…
  
• Advice for ending a marriage on good terms…
  
• Tips for navigating a big city lesbian dating scene…
  
• The difference between managing female employees versus male employees when you’re a girl boss… AND
  
• The different ways you have to give critical feedback to female versus male employees…
