You have six math Ph.D. Caucasian gentlemen from the Northeast of the country, great. You put one more in the mix, you haven't added much. It's only when you add something different that you really are able to accomplish more.

I would say one of the reasons that women don't invest to the same extent that men do, is because we still think of it in some ways as a male pursuit.

Nothing bad happens when women are in positions of power.

I want to buy a house. I want to retire well. I want to have baby.

Men tend to leave their financial adviser at a single-digit-percent rate in any given year. And women leave their husband and their joint financial adviser in the year after their spouse's death at a rate of greater than 70 percent - seven-zero.

I'm really putting my life towards helping women to invest, and there's a circular reference here because if women can invest and give themselves the opportunity to earn higher returns, they can start those businesses. They can go to work with a little more confidence to ask for that promotion, to ask for the new assignment, etc.

If you're not making some notable mistakes along the way, you're certainly not taking enough business and career chances.
