I
19:58
mean, I used to do, I have a lot of speaking experience in my corporate and freelance jobs before I ever started an online business.
20:08
And even as somebody with so much relevant experience and skills that are very helpful for starting an online business, it was still incredibly challenging.
20:21
And I remember thinking early on, how do regular people do this? Because all I'm seeing, every network that I join of women entrepreneurs, You know, 90% of them are women that are just getting started or have just started their business or they're interested or they're generating ideas.
20:39
And I remember maybe like 2024.
20:42
So like now I'm like a year into my business full time.
20:45
I'm sitting there thinking.

13 MINS LATER

33:27
Yeah.
24:52
Oh.
24:52
And I never pursued that dream, and I don't really know, and I didn't really know why until now.
24:58
And when I really thought about it, I was like, "Why wouldn't I do that?" I was an athlete.
25:02
I was very confident.
25:03
Being an athlete allowed me to pursue business and investing in a, a more confident way, I think.
25:09
When I really look back on, on my life and my financial independence and the, the career and financial choices I've made, I think I have more confidence because of sports.
25:18
But one thing I didn't see was a mirror.
29:51
You know, I never talk about really sports on So Money, and I'm so happy I'm doing it with a woman.
