Episode No. 100 (Part I): Where Are They Now? with Amy Tu and Samantha Monk

Women in Law - On The Record

Today on Women In Law, I’m sharing Part I of my 100th Episode! It’s been over six years in the making but we are finally here. For this special episode, I wanted to check back in with a few women I’ve met over the years to see where they are now. In Part I, I’m talking with Amy Tu who I first featured on the podcast in January 2021. Since then, Amy has become the Chief Legal Officer of Target, which is a dream job for her. We chat about what excited her most about the opportunity and how she has enjoyed the culture at Target so far.

After Amy, you’ll hear me speak with Samantha Monk, Owner of Play Street Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She and I first spoke on the podcast very early on - at a time when she was an M&A associate at Vinson & Elkins in Dallas, Texas and had just had her first son. Since then, she took an in-house role with Greystar Management and in her latest move she decided to start a Play Street Museum, which is an interactive children’s museum & indoor play area designed to fuel imaginations. Sam is one of my dearest friends and I am so proud of her for taking on this new adventure. It’s right up her alley - using her business savvy to provide a fun, family friendly venue to her community. In fact, while I visited, I had the opportunity to take my family to Play Street and it was awesome. The kids had a blast running all over the place, making slime, pretending to serve ice cream, work at a bakery, run a pet shop, you name it.

I loved checking back in with Amy and Sam and hope you enjoy hearing the latest about their career journeys.
