Ladies Talk Investing - Happy Hour 4
It is the last Friday of the month, which means Happy Hour on my podcast! I am excited about this month's topic because while it's not as raunchy as last month, it's equally as entertaining. As a financial advisor, I find that many women are uncomfortable with investing for various reasons, so I wanted to discuss the subject with my happy hour ladies. We all have different backgrounds and approaches to investing, so I think it's a great conversation to hear.
