This week on Haley on the Go, we’re joined by actress, activist, investor, and producer Sophia Bush for a conversation that blends pop culture, purpose, and power.
Sophia shares behind-the-scenes stories you didn’t know about One Tree Hill—including how she joined the show after the pilot, why Brooke Davis almost didn’t exist, and what it was really like building a character that resonated with so many women.
From there, we zoom out into a bigger conversation about investing in women—why access to capital, leadership, and visibility changes outcomes across business, sports, and media. Sophia opens up about her work with The First Women’s Bank, women-led venture funds, and women’s sports, and why representation only matters if women also hold power.
We also talk about:
As Sophia puts it, “We can’t be it if we can’t see it—and we can’t build it if we’re locked out.”
Haley on the Go is the show where creator and activist Haley Lickstein takes you inside the conversations everyone should be having. From viral pop-culture moments to the policies shaping our lives, Haley travels the country talking to celebrities, activists and the rising voices defining what comes next.
