It is very important that we include men, 150 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,969 Suze: non binaries, whatever it may be in the conversation because 151 00:09:08,979 --> 00:09:12,848 Suze: many of you that are in relationships with men.

It's all right. I like it. I don't 244 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:03,619 Suze: have to... 245 00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:07,640 Mika Brzezinski: It's about a third of the room and that's all right. 246 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:11,760 Suze: But my concern is for those of you who are 247 00:14:11,770 --> 00:14:15,650 Suze: under 30... who's teaching you about money? 248 00:14:16,390 --> 00:14:20,890 Suze: Where are you learning what I have taught tens and 249 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:24,030 Suze: hundreds of millions of people over the past 40 years 250 00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:27,859 Suze: that I've been doing this. I know what I've done 251 00:14:27,869 --> 00:14:31,369 Suze: because they write me and I've seen how many millionaires 252 00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:35,039 Suze: and successful women that I've helped take their power as 253 00:14:35,049 --> 00:14:38,330 Suze: well as men. But I worry about those of you 254 00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:39,489 Suze: who are younger. 255 00:14:40,109 --> 00:14:43,770 Suze: Where are you learning it from? And it's not just 256 00:14:43,780 --> 00:14:47,880 Suze: about where do you invest, how do you invest all 257 00:14:47,890 --> 00:14:52,580 Suze: of those things? It's really also understanding the role that 258 00:14:52,590 --> 00:14:55,320 Suze: you play in your own money. So I just want 259 00:14:55,330 --> 00:14:57,940 Suze: to tell you this one brief concept, which is, I 260 00:14:57,950 --> 00:14:59,359 Suze: want you to all think about 261 00:15:00,380 --> 00:15:04,650 Suze: money is a physical manifestation of who you are. 262 00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:08,150 Suze: You're the ones who go out and work for it. 263 00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:11,190 Suze: You're the ones who get a paycheck. You're the ones 264 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,159 Suze: who decide to invest it, save it or spend it. 265 00:15:15,890 --> 00:15:20,030 Suze: So when you're talking about your money, you're talking about 266 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:20,539 Suze: you 267 00:15:21,179 --> 00:15:26,539 Suze: And if your money is a chaotic mess, it's because 268 00:15:26,549 --> 00:15:31,090 Suze: you are a chaotic mess and you have to go 269 00:15:31,099 --> 00:15:35,039 Suze: within to see why you are doing without. 270 00:15:35,729 --> 00:15:39,020 Suze: So it's not just about learning about compounding and this, 271 00:15:39,030 --> 00:15:44,349 Suze: although that helps. But, but if you don't understand the 272 00:15:44,359 --> 00:15:46,590 Suze: connection you have with your money, 273 00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:50,609 Suze: then you don't understand the connection you have with who 274 00:15:50,619 --> 00:15:51,340 Suze: you are 275 00:15:52,010 --> 00:15:54,070 Suze: and then you can't be as powerful as you are 276 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,109 Suze: meant to be 277 00:15:56,140 --> 00:16:00,070 Suze: because you have to have your own voice and understand 278 00:16:00,359 --> 00:16:03,580 Suze: how you work and how you work when it comes 279 00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:05,760 Suze: to money. Did that make sense? Everybody? 280 00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:08,380 Suze: Yeah, I don't know if you're going to learn that 281 00:16:08,390 --> 00:16:09,280 Suze: on Tik Tok 282 00:16:09,289 --> 00:16:12,950 Mika Brzezinski: Well, you're not. Um, and, and what it's so powerful 283 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,929 Mika Brzezinski: and so important to knowing your value because your money 284 00:16:15,940 --> 00:16:18,219 Mika Brzezinski: is you. Did you hear that? That? I think that's 285 00:16:18,229 --> 00:16:21,440 Mika Brzezinski: pretty alien to some of the women in our audience 286 00:16:21,450 --> 00:16:25,320 Mika Brzezinski: who feel untoward, talking about money, who feel like maybe 287 00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:26,080 Mika Brzezinski: it's not 288 00:16:26,190 --> 00:16:31,390 Mika Brzezinski: appropriate to talk about money for themselves. And um, I 289 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,809 Mika Brzezinski: think that needs to be turned around, not only talk 290 00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:36,890 Mika Brzezinski: about it, think about it, learn about it, be guided, 291 00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:41,809 Mika Brzezinski: be mentored. Money is you. That's ok to say, not 292 00:16:41,820 --> 00:16:45,559 Mika Brzezinski: only is it OK to say your future depends on 293 00:16:45,570 --> 00:16:48,849 Mika Brzezinski: it for sure. And actually another thing that struck you, 294 00:16:48,859 --> 00:16:51,890 Mika Brzezinski: we were talking backstage about some of the speakers you've 295 00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,650 Mika Brzezinski: heard from already is the concept 296 00:16:54,869 --> 00:16:55,969 Mika Brzezinski: of 297 00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:59,349 Mika Brzezinski: the unknown. What could happen in your life? We're talking 298 00:16:59,359 --> 00:17:00,349 Mika Brzezinski: about disability. 299 00:17:00,359 --> 00:17:05,489 Suze: Yeah.

You know, you may 304 00:17:18,719 --> 00:17:21,489 Suze: not know this about me, but people have seen me 305 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,619 Suze: as a very strong woman, a very powerful woman and 306 00:17:25,630 --> 00:17:26,829 Suze: you bet I am. 307 00:17:27,550 --> 00:17:31,859 Suze: And, and four years ago, they found a tumor in 308 00:17:31,869 --> 00:17:36,250 Suze: my neck that had cut off 95% of my spinal cord. 309 00:17:36,369 --> 00:17:39,229 Suze: And I was told that either it was a life 310 00:17:39,239 --> 00:17:44,800 Suze: ending procedure or definitely a lifestyle altering procedure. And chances 311 00:17:44,810 --> 00:17:48,030 Suze: are I would be either a paraplegic or quadriplegic when 312 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,530 Suze: I woke up from the 12 hour operation 313 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,420 Suze: and look at me now. So I'm fine, but it 314 00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:59,910 Suze: took four years seriously. KT will tell you 3.5 of 315 00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,599 Suze: four years of me not being able to walk me, 316 00:18:02,609 --> 00:18:05,709 Suze: not being able to talk me taking two hours to 317 00:18:05,719 --> 00:18:08,649 Suze: put on a jacket to do an appearance on the 318 00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:12,199 Suze: Today Show or a TV show and me crying as 319 00:18:12,209 --> 00:18:15,199 Suze: they would put on the makeup because it would hurt me. So, 320 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,660 Suze: and I kept thinking during all of these years, what 321 00:18:19,670 --> 00:18:22,448 Suze: would I have done if I didn't have money, 322 00:18:24,089 --> 00:18:27,189 Suze: how would I have made it all those years? Because 323 00:18:27,199 --> 00:18:29,410 Suze: there's no way I could have worked. There was no 324 00:18:29,420 --> 00:18:32,089 Suze: way I could really do anything. You couldn't come near 325 00:18:32,099 --> 00:18:33,489 Suze: my body and touch it. 326 00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:38,449 Suze: And so when Molly said that I realized, oh, I 327 00:18:38,459 --> 00:18:42,060 Suze: was almost this close and I don't know why I'm 328 00:18:42,069 --> 00:18:44,419 Suze: not to tell you the truth nor the doctors don't 329 00:18:44,430 --> 00:18:48,188 Suze: know either why I wasn't one of those 80 percenters. 330 00:18:48,939 --> 00:18:52,399 Suze: So the reason that I wanted to say that is, 331 00:18:52,410 --> 00:18:55,079 Suze: I love that you're all going for it. I love 332 00:18:55,089 --> 00:18:58,209 Suze: that you want to expand. I love that you wanna grow. 333 00:18:58,219 --> 00:19:00,800 Suze: I love that you wanna be rich.
