#117 Mel Browne - Financial Literacy is a feminist issue.

In the “Western world, less than 48% of women are financially illiterate, meaning that they can't answer five simple questions about finance.” Yet A Warwick Business school longitudinal study showed that both men and women outperformed the index when it came to investing in shares and women outperformed men. And this is where Mel Browne steps in. Mel Browne is an ex-accountant, ex-financial advisor and ex-working till she drops. Nowadays she’s a best-selling author, financial educator and serial entrepreneur who is passionate about helping women live a life by design not default. This is an eye-opening conversation full of tips and insights you can employ today to empower your financial decisions. Mel and I discuss the power of overcoming ‘people pleasing’, that financial literacy is a feminist issue and how it can give you choices all the while in a killer outfit and heels.
