About this podcast:
If you're a woman in wealth management (or any male-dominated industry), this podcast is for you. Muriel Siebert (first woman member of the NYSE ) said, "When a door is hard to open and nothing else works, sometimes you just have to rear back and kick it open.” After decades of sluggish progress, it’s time for us to kick the door open on women’s success.
