0:59What would you say then is the biggest thing that is holding back young female entrepreneurs today? You know, I've never identified as a female entrepreneur. I've just identified as actually a business person. You know, it's funny. I wasn't going to say female because I knew you were to say this. I swear to God, I wasn't going to say this. but I'm thinking uh the only reason I said female and it's so funny you said that because the only reason I'm thinking that is because I feel like some women are going to say that they really relate to you and and how you uh worry about how people judge you or something right and so I was thinking is that the thing that females have over over male entrepreneurs because I don't think Alex is thinking about oh people judge the way I look I don't think he's worried about that in running a business you know what i mean so i for i knew you're gonna say this but i feel like women need to need to know or i feel like you would have a pulse on what maybe women are are experiencing and what's holding them back from being a successful entrepreneur or from the ability to make more money or whatever it might be so yeah i'm glad you said that at response but hopefully you have another answer i do i do yeah yeah so i was going somewhere with it don't worry okay so the biggest thing that's holding female entrepreneurs back i think the way i viewed it is when i say i've never identified as a female entrepreneur it's because i don't find it useful because then i think of all the reasons why i should act differently than a male entrepreneur and why i should think that the rules of money and business should apply differently to me and i have played by the rules that i've just seen make people successful whether they're a man or a woman um and so that's been really helpful for me but what i think holds a lot of women back is i think that women have traditionally been conditioned by society to be valued for other things not making money and i don't think that's bad i also don't think it's bad if you want to make money but i do think that like one thing that i will never be able to rid myself of is that i am valued for also how i look if i looked like a troll i do not think alex would marry me for real i don't think it would um it's not bad if he doesn't yeah it's not a bad thing women if you look at the most popular women in the world they're usually very attractive a lot of them their women can literally gain status through just being attractive and nothing else right um i'm sure men can too but many more men are valued for money and ability to produce and so i think there's first off women have if they want to make more money and build a business they also have something other things that take their attention they've been conditioned to also value these things and work to make these things better in their life and i get that um the second piece to it is um when it comes to what i think holds women back is the fear of being put into one of these boxes that i think like pop culture now does right it's either like you're either like a i don't know because i'm not as connected in pop culture because i don't watch them but i see It's like a lot of women that are like I'm a single female entrepreneur like making money on like f guys Then I see like I'm a business woman I'm all about my business and I'm this and I'm that or then I see like I'm a traditional wife and I have kids and I say home it's like I just say like What if you could just say you're you're an and not an or you don't need to be this or that or that you could be and I Love to cook for my husband.

4:25I also like to run a company that's gonna be worth a billion dollars next year Can I not make him cookies and run a billion dollar company? Right. And I want to do both. And I think that I used to think that I had to pick between those things, between being a good wife, between being, you know, between my health and shape and liking to do hair and makeup and between doing business. and that actually when in the beginning when I thought that I had to sacrifice being a good wife and you know caring about what I looked like it made me worse at business because I was suppressing these other pieces of my life that I actually do value and I said why am I suppressing those things and I said well because I'm afraid that men are going to judge me for it well then screw it let them judge me and I do get judged all the time and I'm okay with it it's okay people don't don't understand me it's okay if they don't understand uh my actual capabilities what i actually do if they think i am all these things i know who i am and on a daily basis i'm with myself at the end of the day and so as long as i'm living my life in accordance with things i value i think that most women just believe that they have to fit in a box of one of these things you're either this girl this girl this girl or this girl that fits in these boxes that you see on social media it's like you could be a little bit of all those things it's like who do you want to be and i think for me it's I've learned I don't fit in a box.

5:44And I think a lot of people think I'm one thing or another, or they feel confused. And that's okay. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah. So what? It doesn't change my life. Sure.
