On today's episode, Ryan Zauk sits down with legendary entrepreneur, author, and financial literacy advocate Neale S Godfrey. How do you summarize the background of someone like Neale? Let’s give it a try:

- First female VP at Chase Manhattan Bank where she worked on some of the largest M&A deals in history

- New York Times bestseller, but only after buying a publishing company because she couldn’t get a deal!

- Founder of both the First Women’s Bank and the First Children’s Bank, the latter of which was famously used by Princess Diana in NYC’s FAO Schwartz

- Founder of “Children’s Financial Network” where she has become one of the nation’s top crusaders, advocates, and thought leaders on financial literacy

- Collaborator with Oprah, Executive in Residence at Columbia Business School, served on a number of boards including UNICEF

Quite a life, right? Well, Neale is only getting started. In this episode, Neale discusses:

- Her life as a woman on wall street in the 70's and 80's and the discrimination women faced (summing up to $2M in lost wages)

- How she pivoted from banker to entrepreneur and author

- Key issues with financial education in the US

- Her financial advice for kids and parents

- Tons of great anecdotes along the way including a 12 hour stop in Brazil, mocking Oprah to her face (accidentally), and more.
