Helping Women Talk About Money and Investing
If you’ve been listening to this show for a while, you know that I’m a supporter of women started businesses and also events, services and products designed to help women better manage their money. I’m such a supporter that a few months back a listener left an iTunes review saying that I was anti-male and reverse discriminatory. I know that there’s gender sensitivity out there, I’m blonde, not dumb, but the facts around gender roles and personal finance unfortunately speak for themselves, women earn 30% less than men, they don’t invest as much, they’re targeted for more consumer and credit products and they live longer.I’m not anti-male, as the founder of a financial services company, I just see the disparity all day long and I’ve made it my mission to close the financial gaps that I see. All that being said, this is why I’m excited to have today’s guest on the show. Hilary Hendershott is a financial planner and host of the Profit Boss podcast who has decided to host a women’s wealth building event called Profit Boss live.
