myths that keep women from investing

August 24, 2023

Consider this -

What if women had more, far more financial power?

What would the impact on our economy and societal well-being be?

Given that women raise only 2% of venture dollars, it’s hard to tell.

I’m curious to find out.

In today’s interview with Sallie Krawcheck - the CEO and co-founder of Ellevest, an investing and wealth management company built by women for women - we discuss how we can make that happen.

In this episode, we spill the tea on the biggest myths keeping women away from investing (despite studies showing that we’re the better investors).

Plus…

  • what’s the biggest gender difference that comes up when we invest

  • the gender allowance gap and other critical mindset shifts we need to make

  • investing for positive impact and why over half of Ellevest assets are invested this way

  • why gender matters when deciding on an investment strategy

- before you decide to buckle down and learn all the fancy investment jargon — please watch this episode. It can save you a TON of time, headache, and money.

Let’s build the matriarchy,

If you're new here... Hi! I'm JJ, the founder of The Justice Dept.

I help women make money and maximize their financial freedom.

As an entertainment attorney and executive for more than 20 years, I have helped build the careers of dozens of artists — most notably for Jay-Z and Beyoncé while serving as General Counsel and EVP at Roc Nation.

I started The Justice Dept. because I got sick & tired.

Sick & tired of...

... our patriarchal system not paying women what they deserve

… women not having the financial freedom to make their own decisions

… women not seeing their true value and worth 

… men getting millions of dollars for an idea on a piece of paper and impactful female founders barely scraping by to raise money in the six figures.
