We believe the industry can do better, and that it’s ready to. If you’re a woman in wealth management, this podcast is for you.  In this podcast, you'll hear the stories of women who are slaying it, doing things differently, and bringing new energy to their work.  The powerhouse women are proof that YOU can achieve your ambitions, and that we are stronger together.We’ll have the conversations that you have with your girlfriends…the ones you have at those women’s dinners when you’ve had too much wine or at those women’s conferences. The conversations where we get real about how we can achieve our ambitions and how the industry needs to shift to accommodate more women and diverse populations in the ranks.  Muriel Siebert, the 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 to kick the door open on women's success.  About the Host:Shelby Nicholl is a 25-year corporate vet turned founder of Muriel Network (www.murielnetwork.com), a company centered around a digital community exclusively for women who work in wealth management. Some stats:* There’s a $30 Trillion wealth transfer underway to women clients. These clients are chronically underserved, and there’s a 29% gender wealth gap in America. * There’s a leaky bucket of women ready to serve as senior leaders (maybe because only 16% of the c-suite are women today!) The stats for people of color and disadvantaged communities are even worse. *  Less than a quarter of all financial advisors or wealth planners are women. *  Less than a quarter of senior leaders within the broker-dealers, RIAs, custodians and asset managers are women.
