Mastering Finances, Funding, Family

"Money is power. Money is security. It is essential to understand your capital." - Episode 3. Joanne Wilson, Bad Bitch Empire

Joanne Wilson is one of the earliest angel investors to have a female-entrepreneur-driven investment thesis. She has a decade-long career as a successful angel investor and has amassed an investment portfolio that includes over 130 startups. In this episode of the Bad Bitch Empire, I interview Joanne on:

• How women should think about building their wealth independently
• Specific action steps to start investing no matter where you are in your career
• How to build a resilient mindset as an entrepreneur
• How to balance building your empire and your family
• How to speak up in the face of sexist BS in the workplace
• ?Investing in new verticals like cannabis, psilocybin, and crypto

On Being a Bad Bitch: To Joanne, being a Bad Bitch means being unafraid to quit and move on, to take credit where it’s due, to speak up unapologetically, and take charge of your finances - money is power after all.

On taking entrepreneurial risks and being resilient: "If you fail, you fail. But if you win, YOU win. Either way, you get the credit you deserve."

On realizing she had the skills to be #1: Joanne talks about her early career building up two separate businesses where the men at the head were getting all the credit... so she left:?“Neither man could handle the growth or size of those companies, and within a year, both companies imploded.”?

On investing & confidence: “Take one step, and before you know it and you’re running.”
