Episode 54: Changing the Face of Wealth: Empowering Women in Financial Literacy
Financial literacy and wealth-building are crucial for women to claim their financial futures.
In this podcast episode, host Olivia Cream sits down with trailblazer Kelly Ann Winget, author of "Pitch The Bitch: Grab Your Financial Future By The Bags" and the only millennial LGBTQ+ manager of a solo-female-founded private equity fund. Winget's book challenges the notion that women shouldn't be part of financial conversations, offering readers insight into her journey from selling in car washes as a teenager to her current position as founder of Dallas-based Alternative Wealth Partners (AWP).
Drawing on over a decade of experience in alternative investments and a legacy in the oil and gas sector, Winget has raised nearly $1 billion in private capital for various business ventures. She uses her expertise to help investors access real returns off Wall Street.
In this episode, Winget passionately discusses the importance of financial literacy and wealth-building for women. She aims to change the face of wealth, instilling knowledge and confidence in women to take charge of their financial futures. Winget introduces listeners to Ellevest, an investment platform designed specifically for women, and offers practical advice on financial planning, wealth creation, and ways to overcome financial fear.
The episode concludes with the essential message that success means ensuring that financial decisions for the world become more equitable, and that it’s important to support people who can make that happen.
Here are five key takeaways from the conversation with Kelly:
Embrace Financial Literacy: There is great power in understanding financial systems, from basic budgeting to complex investment strategies. This knowledge serves as the foundation for taking control of one's financial future and achieving a sense of security and empowerment.
Addressing the Wealth Gap: The persistent wealth gap, particularly for women and marginalized communities, must be challenged. The key to this lies in systemic change and the redistribution of resources, ensuring that more wealth ends up in diverse hands.
Women-Specific Investment Platforms: Platforms like Ellevest are designed specifically for women investors. They take into account the unique financial hurdles that women face, such as lower income, shorter working periods, and longer lifespans. This tailored approach ensures that financial solutions align with women's specific needs and experiences.
The Power of Confidence and Action: Taking the leap towards financial independence requires belief in oneself and the courage to take the first steps. Overcoming fear, challenging societal norms, and taking action are critical to this journey.
Redefining Financial Success: True financial success extends beyond personal wealth accumulation. It's about creating a more equitable financial landscape where decisions and resources benefit a wider range of people. This vision provides a blueprint for those who aim not just to grow their own wealth, but to contribute to a fairer financial system.
