Speaker 1: Before I go.

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Into my first guest, I want to share a card.

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: I got a thank you card I got from my

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: pastor Jenkins and Boston. I dropped in surprised him. He

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: was doing a real estate conference up in Boston a

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: couple of weekends ago, a couple of weekends ago, and

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: he sent a card and he asked me to do an

17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: impromptu speech.

18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: He said, Rishad, you're here, can you talk? Well? You

19
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: know I love to talk, so wasn't a hard push.

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: He said, thank you Rashaan for the inspiration and practical

21
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: wisdom you share your words. If you don't start dreaming

22
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: about what you want today, you will not get it tomorrow.

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: He said.

24
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I said that. He said that statement right there. Change

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: the whole outlook of the weekend. If you don't start

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: dreaming about what you want today, you will not get

27
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: it tomorrow. It reminded everybody and gave him clarity about

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: if you don't have action in hand, then your dreams

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: won't come true. And that's what Money Making Conversation is

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: all about, bringing people on my show to help you

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,280

00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: the first time.

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: Carrie Cabernaro, Hi.

41
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: Dog, carry, Thank you, Rushan. Great.

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: We're talking about women on this show today. We're talking

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: about empowering women, the culture that is out there for women.

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: Your book, Women and Wealth. Tell us why you wrote

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: that book, Carrie.

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: Sure, so, it's actually my second book, but I wanted

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: to get out all the experiences I've had in my

48
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: twenty five years of working with women. My first book

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: actually came out about a decade ago, and this is

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: my second book. And also I wanted to I'm older

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: and wiser, and I wanted to really share my knowledge

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: with the world and also with my industry. What's really

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: interesting in my industry. I'm going to give you some

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: stats that are going to pretty much blow your mind

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: and probably blow your audience's mind as well, because most

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 3: people don't know it, and certainly the world doesn't know it,

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: and barely my industry knows it. And it's my industry.

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: So this is why I wrote the book. So by

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: twenty thirty, women are going to control two thirds of

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: the nation's wealth, which is thirty trillion dollars with a T,

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: which is the same as the GDP of the United States.

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: That's how much wealth is going to be in the

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: hands of women. And we are five short years away

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: from that, and we are not ready for it. My industry, unfortunately,

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: has been built by men for men, and that's okay

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: because that's who the clients were. But guess what the

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: clients are changing the future and the future clients of

68
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: wealth management are women, and the industry is not ready

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: for that. So I want to change the trajectory of

70
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: the industry to make it female friendly. And that's why

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: I wrote this book. And then in addition, it also

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: has jam packed with advice strategies for women to build

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: wealth as well in the book. So it's all about that.

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: The messager Scarret. You know your financial planner, now, I'm

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: sure you know. I want to let people know what

76
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: you do in your website and all those good things.

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: What are some of the hands on strategy and tools

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: that you promote to your clients that would allow people

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: to understand what the services that you offer are nationwide

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: and people should at least consider what you're doing at

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: your practice.

82
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Sure, Well, you know it's funny when you got on

83
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: the call before the first thing you said was the

84
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: thank you letter you got talking about dreaming for today.

85
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: If you don't dream for today, it won't happen tomorrow. Well,

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: I say, pretty similar to that, planning today. How can

87
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: you get where you're going without a plan if you

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: fail to plan, if you plan to fail, And it's

89
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: the same type of thing planning for today will get

90
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: you there tomorrow. So I think everybody on the planet

91
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: deserves a financial plan because think about it, if you

92
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: don't know what you need to do to get to

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: your financial freedom goal, whatever that looks like for you,

94
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: and everybody's is different because everybody's completely different. So you know,

95
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: if ifits you know, retiring at sixty and spending I

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: don't know, ten thousand dollars a month, and you know,

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 3: living in a house in Florida, and you know, having

98
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: two cars and going on vacations once a year, whatever

99
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: it looks like. Whatever your freedom looks like to you,

100
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: whatever that looks like, you have to be able to

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: know what it takes to get there. So that's where

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: I come in. So on a what a financial plan

103
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: or a certified financial planner does, and let's make aplan.

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: Dot org is actually where you can find a certified

105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: financial planner. And so what that does is we look

106
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: at every single aspect of your financial life. So we

107
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: look at risk management, we look at cash flow management,

108
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: we look at tax management. Today's tax day, that's one

109
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: of our little little spokes. We look at investment planning,

110
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: we look at retirement planning, we look at a state planning,

111
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: and all of it working together. So it's a complete

112
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: circle where you know if you don't know. Let's say,

113
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: for example, I see this a lot where somebody does

114
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 3: you know, an insurance something in insurance or risk management

115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: that hurts their either that hurts their cash flow or

116
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: hurts their investments, or something that you do in investments

117
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: that hurts your taxes, or something that you do in

118
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: taxes that hurts your state, or so I see this

119
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: all the time, Like I see all this, So when

120
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 3: they're not working in concert or somebody doesn't know how

121
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: you're pulling them all together, usually there's mistakes along the way,

122
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: and so really you just want to get a roadmap

123
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: to create your own financial future of where you want

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: to go. I mean, everybody on the planet deserves that.

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: It's funny because I think most people believe that it's

126
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: only for the you know, super rich or you know,

127
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: but it's not. I don't know where that somehow that

128
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: got lost along the way. What happens is wealthy people

129
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: hire us because they know how important it is to

130
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: preserve and grow and make all the right moves with money.

131
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: So it seems like that's what the only people that

132
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: we work with. However, the reality is everybody should have one.

133
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: Now, you know your last chapter, I think this chapter

134
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: twenty and three is about how do you make the

135
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: industry female friendly? You know, I grew up with six sisters,

136
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: so I grew up around women. And so when you

137
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: make that statement like that, you know most people will

138
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: push back, go, what do you mean? Are you trying

139
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: to say we live in a chauvinistic society? What are

140
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: you saying when you say the industry? What is the industry?

141
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: First of all, and then making it female friendly?

142
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: Sure? So the industry is wealth management. Okay, So if

143
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: anybody has ever worked with a certified financial planner or

144
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: a financial planner, or an insurance salesperson, or a banker

145
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: or a broker or you know, anything related to that,

146
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: anything related to either selling products, getting advice, something to

147
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: build your wealth whatever that means. Right, So that's a

148
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: very large industry. And broker dealers, registered investment advisors, certified

149
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: financial planners, that whole that is my industry, that whole

150
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: kitten koboodle. Right. So making it female friendly is so

151
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: again created by men for men. So there's so many

152
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: things that we need to change to make it so

153
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: that it's welcoming to women. So Another stat I'll give

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: you is Harvard Business Review came out with a study

155
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine saying that financial services industry

156
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: is the least sympathetic to women and has the most

157
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: to gain if they get it right. So we already

158
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: know that they're doing it wrong, and then I have

159
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: a million other stats of why they're doing it wrong. So,

160
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: for example, when a couple of spouse dies, usually it's

161
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: the man, because women have longevity. The women live, by

162
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: the way, she doesn't to ten years longer than a man.

163
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: You know, she's going to be a widow. You know

164
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: she's going to outlive you. It's very rare when it

165
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: goes the other way. I say that all the time.

166
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm going to be living forever and my

167
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 3: husband's going to be gone. And he always gets upset

168
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: when I say that, and I'm like, honey, there's just

169
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: no way it's going to happen. Plus he's older than

170
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: me anyway, so it's kind of funny. But anyway, So

171
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: what happens is in a couple when the spouse dies,

172
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: which is a man, in most cases, the woman who's

173
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: left leaves their financial advisor. Eighty percent of the time,

174
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: and that's stat has not changed in decades. So the

175
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: reason being is she's not heard, she's ignored, she's you know,

176
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 3: lack of personal connection, poor communication, doesn't feel empowered, feels

177
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: lost or pressured or pitched to. So there's like a

178
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: million reasons why this happens, and it just keeps happening

179
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: over and over. So that's a great stat for me

180
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: to say, hey, guys, you're not getting it right. Let's

181
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: let's figure out what to do to make it right.

182
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Well, what I hear I talked like this, Carrie.

183
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: You know, women making in roads, and one of the

184
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: things that the new administration came in was really chop

185
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: on DEI. And we know DEI has been a very

186
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: strong empowering tool for women.

187
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Now is that.

188
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: Part of the bro culture that you're talking about? You know,

189
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: this this chopping opportunities for women and not allowing them

190
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: to grow when you see people attacking programs like DEI.

191
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: Well, so it's so interesting because I get this question

192
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: all the time, and in my opinion, this is actually

193
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: not a de and I issue, believe it or not,

194
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: It is actually a dollars and cents issue because think

195
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: about it, what other industry would you say to them,

196
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: here is a trillion dollar opportunity and they don't do

197
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: anything about it.

198
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: Kind of interesting, right, Well, I think I think that

199
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: people when they when they're when they're rolling down. Like

200
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: for instance, we just came off from the space where

201
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: there was an all female space.

202
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what you call space flight.

203
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: They just go up there for a couple of seconds,

204
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: they come back down at you.

205
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was. I don't know.

206
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: You know, people get nervous. I get nervous I get

207
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: on the regular airplane. So I think if I go

208
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: out there and I saw what the Earth looked like

209
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: on the other side, I think I'd be super nervous

210
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: too it, especially if I'm floating. But I think that

211
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: we oftentimes on stereotype and glamorizing women, because I would

212
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: say this. The one thing I took away from that

213
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: was that how the women would just made up, you know,

214
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: every every photo they took it seemed like it was glamorized,

215
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: where the ones that didn't have all the women were

216
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: not so much glamorized, didn't look it looked like they

217
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: should be on the cover of Vogue or Essence or

218
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Ale or something like that that I was saying, Uh,

219
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: that's interesting how they are approaching this with the with

220
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: the female all female crew. Is that the society that

221
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: we are living in now that women are gonna always

222
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: be even though there are the true You're gonna control

223
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: the trillion dollar industry, but stereotypes are gonna keep winning.

224
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: Oh I hope not. But but I have to admit

225
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: I I am. I looked at those photos. It's funny.

226
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: I didn't even notice the makeup on the on the women.

227
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: I just noticed the outfits were blue. That's so funny

228
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: from from your perspective.

229
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more

234
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: So, as a woman in this in this world who

235
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: is a speaker and a writer and you know, entrepreneur,

236
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: I have my own business all that, all of that stuff,

237
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: I actually do feel I do feel this is like

238
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: not in my book, but I do feel pressure to

239
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: look attractive with my hair and makeup done, and my

240
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: nails done and all, and my lash is done and

241
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: all that stuff. So I guess that is still around,

242
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: But I feel like that's more of me succumbing to

243
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: that I want to look good rather than a stereotype

244
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: that I have to look good.

245
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: Well, you know that's honest stereotype. Now. You know, women

246
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: have been have been.

247
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: Hazed on TV by the body shapes, you know, body shamed.

248
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: Celebrities have undergone that tremendously because they're on the forefront

249
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: of the world. Also, men allowed when they age. It's

250
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: called dignified aging. Where women get old they want to like,

251
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: can you get somebody younger in there? So there are

252
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: so I guess when you say we're not even dealing

253
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: with money, women have to deal with this the basic

254
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: stereo types of a look. And I'm assuming that when

255
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: it comes to dealing with money, the women are also stereotype.

256
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Well can they handle that amount of money or they

257
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: qualified to handle that type of money? So you are

258
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: financial planner? You certified financial planner, Carrie? How have you

259
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: done it for twenty five years? How have you been

260
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: able to knock off, you know, open these doors and

261
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: be able to let people know that, hey, I'm not

262
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: taking this. I am smart, I am an experienced I

263
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: am a successful entrepreneur. I run a multi million dollar business.

264
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: Right. Well, it's so interesting because so let me tell

265
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: you my story of how I got into this, right So,

266
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: because it's definitely not a lot of women in my

267
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: industry right now, it's about eighty percent men, twenty percent females,

268
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: and actually the exact number of females in the certified

269
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: financial planners we are twenty three point nine percent. However,

270
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: out of those twenty three point nine not all of

271
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: them are business owners and you know CEOs and rain

272
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: makers and the ones going out getting the clients some

273
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: of them, and a lot of them are in the

274
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: back office or in support positions or you know, junior

275
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: advisors or customer service professionals or teachers or professors and

276
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: so not necessarily in the money making part of the business,

277
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: right because it's so difficult, and it's so difficult period,

278
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: let alone being a woman. It's even like ten times

279
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: more difficult doing this profession as a woman. So what's

280
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: interesting is I started to like I was raised by

281
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: my dad, who was who worked in the in the

282
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: finance business he worked. He was a SVP for JP

283
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: Morgan Chase, And so I grew up learning about money

284
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: like people learn about you know, sports or whatever, and

285
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: so I didn't know that people didn't know about money,

286
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: and I didn't know that I was a privileged few

287
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: to learn about money at a young age and always

288
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: talking about money with my family and my dad and

289
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: me and my dad went to foreclosure auctions together and

290
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: we went to see you know, speakers about money. We

291
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: went to see straight straight talk with the Dolans, which

292
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: is way back in the day. And my dad to work.

293
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my dad took me to work before there

294
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: was take your daughter to work day, so in the seventies,

295
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: and so I just thought it was super cool and

296
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: I just loved what he did and I was very

297
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: interested in it, and I learned everything about money. So

298
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: by the time I was in college, I was you know, balancing,

299
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: I was doing my girlfriend's budgets, and I was like

300
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 3: always just doing money stuff for everybody just because I could,

301
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: and I knew it and I loved it and it

302
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: was really fun. And I didn't even know it was

303
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: a profession back then. I literally had no idea and

304
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 3: then I just fell into it and I said, wow,

305
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 3: I can't believe I get paid to do this, like

306
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: I would do this for fun because I love it

307
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: so much. And then and then I wound up being

308
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: very good at it because I love it so much,

309
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: because it's my life's passion and work. And then I

310
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: just clients just started women because I knew I wanted

311
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: to work with women just started to come to me,

312
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: and it just started to balloon over time, and everyone

313
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: was like, you know, I didn't do the typical mail

314
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: things like seminars and playing golf and you know, advertising,

315
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 3: and just I didn't do any of that stuff. I

316
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: just helped myself out as a financial advisor for women.

317
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: I spoke, I wrote, I did you know TV interviews

318
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: and things like that, and I always just put myself

319
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: out of who I am, what I believe in that

320
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: I believe women should be financially independent, that women should

321
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: control their own destiny, that women need money, that money

322
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: equals power, and women need more of both. And then

323
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: my practice just evolved over time to become this incredible business.

324
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: My guess is an award winning certified financial planner professional

325
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: for twenty five years of experience. She leads a multi

326
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: million dollar financial planning practice where she specializes in empowering

327
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: women to overcome financial challenges and increase their financial literacy.

328
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: She has a second book out. Her first book was

329
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: out ten years ago. She put, now there's a new

330
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: book out called Women and Wealth.

331
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: Carrie.

332
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: In your book, you talk about AI, and you talk

333
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: about how there's a description about a man with long hair.

334
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: This description comes out and then you do it a

335
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: question with AI about a woman with long hair.

336
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 3: Well, no, actually, so what it was was we asked

337
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: AI give us a picture of a financial planner, and

338
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: they okay, I apologize, and then and no, it's okay.

339
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: And then they said and then we said, give us

340
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: a picture of a financial planner with long hair, and

341
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: they gave us a picture of a man with long hair.

342
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: So a woman didn't even come into the into the mix.

343
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: How do you like that?

344
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: Right? Right? Right right?

345
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: And that's what Because you know, I got the book

346
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: today and I wanted to make sure I got as

347
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: much information in and because you're such a great read,

348
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: and because you had me going back flipping page and

349
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: four and forth, I was like, this is this book

350
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: really captures because it's a journey for you. You talk

351
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: about the bread winner, they talk about you talk about

352
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: the behavior.

353
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: You know.

354
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: It's it's a couple of things in your book that

355
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: really hit me. It's almost like we're still in the

356
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: Leave It to Beaver. If anybody's familiar with that sitcom,

357
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: you know what the what the wife comes home, she

358
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 2: has the apron on, and the man comes on, he's

359
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: the bread winner. Women are advancing, but they still not

360
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: be respected for the advances they are to be made.

361
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: Am I correctness saying.

362
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, oh my gosh, you are so and and

363
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: and actually one of the things you just exactly touched

364
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 3: on is what's called the generator of the wealth gap, right,

365
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: which everybody knows about the pay wage gap that women make,

366
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: you know, eighty two cents on the dollar. But the

367
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: wealth gap is exactly what you just described, which is

368
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: the woman not not having to carry all the burden

369
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: at home. So because the woman is out caregiving for

370
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: you know, having children, then caregiving for the children, then

371
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: taking care of the parents, they call that the good

372
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: daughter spouse penalty. And so that all of that over

373
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: her lifetime costs her a million dollars.

374
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: Mmod No, but what is that perception we hear that.

375
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: I have heard that a lot.

376
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: I grew up with six erses, okay, my financial planner,

377
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: she's female. So I'm very familiar with a lot of

378
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: the trappings of negativity or stereotyping that you are saying

379
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: on my show today. The average person go, so, what

380
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: what's the big deal when you hear that? How do

381
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: you respond to those people? Because those are the people

382
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: who are not opening their doors. Those are the people

383
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: who feel they I like the way things are, Why

384
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: did I Why should I change it? I like my personality.

385
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm chaupinistic. What do you say to

386
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: that care.

387
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: Well, I would say I would say to them, what's

388
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: going to happen when you die? And what's going to

389
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: happen to your to your wife, m h, you're going

390
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: to be okay? Or mom or your daughter? Are you

391
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: okay with that? Because I so. The other thing is

392
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: that ninety percent of women are going to be responsible

393
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: at one point in their life for their own financial future.

394
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: So why would they do it? And most of the

395
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: time it's when something terrible happens, a death, a divorce,

396
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: a disability, a job loss, something terrible that rocks their

397
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: world is when I get a call from a female client.

398
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: So I always say it's they call me when it's

399
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: raining for them, like everything is terrible. I want to

400
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: I want it to be that a woman calls me

401
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: when when it's sonny out and everything's great, and that's

402
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: when they come to me. And honestly, that's when the

403
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 3: guys usually hire a financial planner, but it's not when

404
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 3: the women do. The women are under some sort of

405
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: you know, life changing, altering situation where they're completely overwhelmed

406
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: and they need help, and that's what usually when they

407
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 3: bring somebody in, but they should really bring it in earlier.

408
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: And also I just think that every woman should be

409
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: responsible for their own financial literacy and their own financial

410
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: future and also teach teach the next generation because that's

411
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 3: how we're going to create wealth over time. And also

412
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: the other thing is that wealth just gives you choices

413
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: in your life. It gives you choices to do what

414
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: you want to do. If you want to work or

415
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: take a take a lesser paying job, if you want

416
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 3: to stay home, if you want to work from home,

417
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: if you want to you know, buy a second house,

418
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 3: if you you know what kind of car you want

419
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 3: to drive, what you want to all, what church you

420
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: want to belong to, Where do you want to live,

421
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 3: what house you want to live in? Like, it's what neighborhood,

422
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: It's like, it's everything related to wealth gives you the

423
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: choices to make these decisions in your life that you

424
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: have control over. You know, there's so many things we

425
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 3: can't control in our lives. It's amazing that if you

426
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: have this money, you have all these choices. Right, everybody

427
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: should have one. Everybody should have a plan, and everybody

428
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: should know where they're going, and everybody should be making

429
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 3: all the right moves with money.

430
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 2: Well, you got a new book out, it's called Women
