This episode is for all the ladies in the house. Even though 70% of the financial decisions at home are made by women, finance has always been a topic that is male-dominated. Why is this so? Statistically speaking, women live longer so having a financial plan is even more vital for them. Why do some women find it hard to talk about finance and investments? What are some ways to get women started on investing? We invite Anna, founder of The New Savvy, Asia’s leading financial, investment and career platform for women to share how women can and should be part of the conversation on investing and personal finance too!

Take a LinkedIn & Personal Branding 101 class with us as we invite Chris, founder of Black Marketing and the only CEO with a mohawk to share useful tips and strategies to improve your personal branding on LinkedIn!

In the past, investing was perceived as a private activity between you and your broker. It seemed inappropriate to be poking your nose into how others manage their finances. All these changed with the internet. Nowadays, there are many investing communities where investors have no qualms about sharing and discussing their investments. This phenomenon culminated in the unprecedented Wall Street Bets/GameStop saga where retail investors banded together and prevailed over traditional financial institutions. 

Is there really power in numbers, or will we fall into a case of monkey see, monkey do? In Chills 43, we discuss more about the social aspect of investing with Ethan Ho, COO of Investing Note, an investing community in Singapore!
