Female specifically? You know, I've never identified as a female entrepreneur. I've just identified as actually a business person.

I do, I do. Yeah, yeah. So I was going somewhere with it, don't worry.

I do, I do. Yeah, yeah. So I was going somewhere with it, don't worry.

The way I viewed it is when I say I've never identified as a female entrepreneur, it's because I don't find it useful. Because then I think of all the reasons why I should act differently than a male entrepreneur and why I should think that the rules of money and business should apply differently to me.

Because then I think of all the reasons why I should act differently than a male entrepreneur and why I should think that the rules of money and business should apply differently to me.

And I have played by the rules that I've just seen make people successful whether they're a man or a woman. And so that's been really helpful for me. But what I think holds a lot of women back is I think that women have traditionally been conditioned by society to be valued for other things not making money. And I don't think that's bad. I also don't think it's bad if you want to make money.

I also don't think it's bad if you want to make money.

But I do think that, like, one thing that I will never be able to rid myself of is that I am valued for also how I look. If I looked like a troll, I do not think Alex would marry me.

I don't think he would. And that's not bad. Yeah, it's not a bad thing. Women, if you look at the most popular women in the world, they're usually very attractive. A lot of them. Women can literally gain status through just being attractive and nothing else. Right. I'm sure men can, too, but many more men are valued for money and ability to produce.

And so I think there's first off, women have if they want to make more money and build a business, they also have something other things that take their attention. They've been conditioned to also value these things and work to make these things better in their life. And I get that.

Um, the second piece to it is, um, when it comes to what I think holds women back is the fear of being put into one of these boxes that I think like pop culture now does, right? It's either like, you're either like, uh, I don't know because I'm not as connected in pop culture, but I see it's like a lot of women that are like, I'm a single female entrepreneur, like making money on like F guys.

Then I see like, I'm a businesswoman, I'm all about my business and I'm this and I'm that. Or then I see like, I'm a traditional wife and I have kids and I stay home. And it's like, I just say like, what if you could just say you're an and, not an or? You don't need to be this or that or that. You could be and. I love to cook for my husband.

And it's like, I just say like, what if you could just say you're an and, not an or? You don't need to be this or that or that. You could be and. I love to cook for my husband.

I also like to run a company that's gonna be worth a billion dollars next year. Can I not make him cookies and run a billion dollar company? And I wanna do both. And I think that I used to think that I had to pick between those things, between being a good wife, between being, you know, between my health and shape and liking to do hair and makeup and between doing business.

And that actually, in the beginning, when I thought that I had to sacrifice being a good wife and, you know, caring about what I looked like, it made me worse at business because I was suppressing these other pieces of my life that I actually do value. And I said, why am I suppressing those things? And I said, well, because I'm afraid that men are going to judge me for it.
