Thank you so much. Lauren just literally sat you in a room and asked you all these questions about you. She did. And we filmed this episode of Women in Power, correct?

Yes, we did. How did you feel? It was amazing. I lived my whole life through Lauren talking about things that I had not thought about in a long time. Several things. I mean, literally like a baseball game in high school where I got in a wee bit of trouble. Dancing with Patti LaBelle.
Right on.
Victoria Woods 2:37

Victoria Woods 3:39
I mean, it's about why we're doing this Women in Power. I believe it is extremely important to really showcase women that have built great companies like myself, like Carrie. I know a plethora of women that this is documenting the stories and our impact and the things that we've done and the things that we want to continue to do.

How can women in finance navigate a male-dominated industry?

Victoria Woods 4:06
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Victoria Woods 4:07
It's just a way of taking a whole career and putting it in. Because we didn't just talk about the company. I mean, we talked about childhood. We talked about being a teenager. We talked about transitioning. And how did you get? I mean, where did you go from being a little girl who didn't have lunch money, cooking on a cook plate for your brothers and sisters, to building one of the top wealth management companies ever?
