“You should really understand how you’re setting yourself up for the future, in terms of your financial health. Any time you’re looking at your life, your career, your objectives — financial health should be one of them.”
— Zoë Barry
You may know about the birds and the bees… but what about the bulls and the bears?
While the stock market has leapt up 330% in the past 12 years, the vast majority of people have completely missed out. Many intelligent people have never purchased stocks before, because they feel intimidated by the market or just lack knowledge about how it all works.
My guest would love to change that!
Zoë Barry, founder and CEO of tech start-up Zingeroo, is an angel investor who has helped fund over 40 businesses led by women and underrepresented founders and one of the few women in the US to launch a brokerage retail trading platform.
Zoë’s expertise spans not only playing the stock market intelligently, but also working as a female entrepreneur in the fintech industry. From the challenge of building rapport and identification with male investors to exactly what happens when you sign up for a retail trading platform, this episode explores the experience of women in finance — and how to increase your wealth and success!
In this episode, you’ll discover:
