Here at the Confidante Investor Podcast, our aim is to help you up your investing game and build the confidence necessary to make smart decisions and act on your strategies. The truth is that for far too long investing has been a completely male-dominated space, and in today's episode we look at some of the reasons for this. Science has shown the links between testosterone and increased willingness to engage with risk, as well as the effect it has on optimism about future results. The upside of this is that there are certain avenues to explore that can help women increase their investing confidence and get comfortable in spaces that have traditionally been exclusionary. Kristen and Colby talk about some commonly held views about gender and money, looking at the idea of “fake it 'till you make it”, and money personalities too. Our hosts also look at some interesting studies that illuminate the reality for many female investors, and how this information can be used to make progress. So for this great first episode, and many more to come, stay tuned!

List of Topics Discussed:

• The genesis of this show and the goals that we hope to achieve through it. 
• Differences between male and female approaches to confidence, business, and money.
• Adjusting the "fake it 'till you make it" paradigm; using visualization to train the mind.
• What the last twenty years show us about the relationship between women and investing.  
• Building confidence through education and healthy practices. 
• Getting to grips with your money personality; are you a saver or a risk-taker? 
• The different archetypes and how they relate to investing strategies and behaviors. 
• Expanding confidence into less familiar industries and uncomfortable spaces. 
• The issue of representation and the degree to which this must be shifted.

3 Lessons Learned:

1. Higher testosterone levels lead to increased confidence and optimism about the future.

2. Using visualization can help to empower the mind and lead to greater achievement of goals.

3. Knowing your money personality will help increase your confidence as an investor by playing to your strengths.
