b"Our society has conditioned us to think that money is gendered and that men are more competent when it comes to matters of money. Further, society tells us that women, because we're \\u201cnurturing or caretaking\\u201d are not strong enough to handle money. Amanda Steinberg joins me to turn that idea on its head, talk about women\\u2019s financial empowerment, and share a roadmap so you can become financially free.\\xa0\\nAmanda\\u2019s founded multiple businesses in finance, media, and politics.
