Janine Rogan is a highly respected keynote and TEDx speaker who has dedicated her career to empowering women to build wealth through financial feminism. Janine's mission is to educate and inspire women to confidently and profitably grow their wealth. Despite the pervasive wage gap that has historically disadvantaged women, Janine believes that women can still achieve financial equality for all by taking small, practical steps towards financial literacy. In this episode, Janine addresses the complex issue of the Pink Tax, which is the issue of women paying more than men for everyday products and services. She explains how this, coupled with the wage gap, can significantly impact women's ability to save, invest, and accumulate wealth over their lifetimes. Listen in as Janine emphasizes the importance of investing and negotiating for better wages, rates, and charges. She also advocates for supporting new mothers to ensure they can remain in the workforce and continue to build their wealth. With Janine's guidance, women can approach their financial literacy one step at a time, taking small, achievable actions towards financial freedom and empowerment. “There are so many things that compound over the course of our lives that make us [as women] spend more money when we're already learning less. This translates into how much wealth we have and how much power we have.” - Janine Rogan This Week on Young Money: Why women face so many more obstacles than men when building wealth. Janine's inspiration for writing her book. How our society impacts women's bank accounts. The importance of being an advocate for the women in your life. What Pink Tax is and why it is important for women to be aware of. The benefit of investing your money. Key takeaways: Be an advocate for yourself. Be aware of Pink Tax. Always negotiate.

Summary:In this 89th episode of Fintech Impact, Jason Pereira, award-winning financial planner, university lecturer, writer, and host interviews Erin Bury, CEO of Willful. Willful allows people to create their personal wills, online for a fraction of the cost of working with an attorney. Erin and Jason discuss the need for a will and power of attorney documents, the psychological reasons behind the majority of people not having a will, and how Willful is working to make that easier for people to deal with. Episode Highlights: ● 00:30: – Erin Bury explains her company Willful. ● 01:00: – How Erin became interested in the issue after her husband’s family member died unexpectedly. ● 01:50: – Jason and Erin discuss the necessity to streamline the process because things like burial wishes and end-of-life plans are taboo subjects no one likes to discuss. ● 03:17: – How and why Erin and her husband pivoted their original startup into the area of online wills. ● 03:43: – Erin’s background is mostly in marketing/communications, but she had worked with fintech startups in her past work so starting a fintech company was the new challenge she was looking for. ● 05:00: – Jason acknowledges that it must be helpful for the company that their consumer market is 100% of the population because everyone needs a will. ● 08:13: – Willful gives you a PDF of all of your documents with an instructions page on how to sign it to make it legally valid, and then lets you go back in and make updates if you’ve had life changes like the birth of a new child. ● 10:11: – Willful’s main value proposition is its low cost. ● 10:52: – Erin and Jason discuss use cases for Willful and the reality that people with more complex estates and situations will not be able to use Willful’s platform. ● 16:30: – There are people whose situations are so simple and with so few assets that they don’t need a will, but everyone truly needs a power of attorney. ● 19:22: – Erin suggests making a checkup of your will and estate planning documents part of your new year’s routine. ● 21:05: – Erin discusses the reasons people come to Willful. ● 23:00: – Willful partners with an American competitor to send each other customers who end up on the wrong country’s platform. ● 26:27: – Erin talks about the biggest challenge Willful faces, in getting people to think about their mortality. ● 28:48: – Erin is most excited by the idea of shaping our culture around entrepreneurship and startups. 3 Key Points 1. Every living person needs a will and power of attorney documents, but the traditional cost of a will for a simple estate holds people back. 2. Your estate planning documents require routine revisiting to make sure changes in your life circumstances don’t require changes in your will. 3. We’re in an in-between period where there is so much technological capability to make estate planning easier but the law has not caught up yet. Tweetable Quotes: ● “Willful is an online platform that makes it simple, easy, and convenient to create an online will and power of attorney documents from the comfort of your own home for a fraction of the price of visiting a lawyer.” –Erin Bury ● “Amongst parents with minor children, which I would assume would be the group most likely to have wills, 65%, so two thirds of them, don’t have a will.” –Erin Bury ● “We’re not trying to replace lawyers. We recognize that there’s always going to be those complexities and we’re also probably not going to be right for people after 5 or 10 years using our platform. They’re probably going to grow out of using Willful.” –Erin Bury Resources Mentioned: ● Facebook –Jason’s Facebook ● LinkedIn –Jason’s LinkedIn ● FintechImpact.co – Website● Linkedin –Erin Bury ● www.erinbury.com – Erin’s website ● www.willful.co – Website See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Did you know what you wanted to be when you were younger? I definitely did not. One day I wanted to drive a school bus, the next day I wanted ten kids and a limo. For Erin Bury, Managing Director of Eighty Eight Agency, she always knew she wanted to be in marketing and complete a journalism degree. From an early age, she would have discussions around the dinner table with her mom about marketing strategies and different campaign ideas. When it came time for Erin to graduate from University, she was convinced she could land a career on her own - she had a prestigious degree under her belt, some amazing work experience and a lot of personal drive. But she quickly found out that it wasn't enough. That's when she learned the power of introductions and networking. And she's built her career around it. One handshake at a time. We talk about the importance of having a vision for your career; being open to nepotism and taking introductions; navigating internships and building up your personal brand; failures and how to turn them into your greatest success stories and why you need to be willing to take risks in order to get ahead.

I chat with Erin Bury, who was not only listed under Marketing Magazine's 30 Under 30, but also grown her personal brand so big...even Oprah noticed. For this episode of the Mo' Money Podcast, I chat with Erin about what she learned about what not to do with her money in college and why she decided to change career paths from journalist to small business owner. Long description: "Millennials are not lazy entitled, losers and we actually have a lot to say," - Erin Bury. Officially my favourite quote from one of my podcast guests! The big reason I wanted to chat with Erin is because she is such a good example of where hustle can take you. She's gotten to where she is in her career because she worked hard, tried new things and took some major risks. For instance, when I asked her how she got to be one of Marketing Magazine's 30 Under 30, she said she nominated herself. I bet most people wouldn't have even thought of doing that, and while those people are waiting for someone to just give it to them, Erin went out and got it for herself. You go girl! I also love how she advocates for everyone to work on their personal brand. As I mentioned, for my day job, part of it entails teaching professionals how to craft their personal brand to win new business. But if you're not looking for clients, you could still find a new job or a new gig just by putting some time and effort into your social profiles and pitching yourself as an expert to the media. All I know is I can't wait to see what Erin's accomplished when she gets listed for 40 Under 40!
