How women should think about financial independence: CEO

Willow CEO and Founder Lacy Garcia joins Wealth! to give insight into how women can empower themselves through their finances.

Garcia argues that the financial planning industry must evolve to address inequities among investors: "So I think what's really critical is that the industry needs to understand that for women, for underrepresented investors, that these pay gaps have existed, that the challenges that create a big gap in their ability to save for retirement and the amount of money that they're earning over a lifetime. And then to be able to really create not just products, but also strategies to make sure that women and younger and next-gen underrepresented investors are able to then achieve the retirement income that they need, but with an understanding that they start from perhaps a place of disadvantage."
