907: The Hidden Price of Being a Woman in Business (And Why You’re Not Imagining It)

Have you ever wondered why it feels harder to build a business as a woman? It’s not just you, and Anna Gifty has the stats to prove it. This conversation will explain exactly why… and what we can do about it.

Anna is a Harvard-trained economist and the author of The Double Tax, a bold new book that breaks down the invisible costs women—especially women of color—pay just to participate in society. But what makes this conversation essential for entrepreneurs? Anna shows how these “taxes” sneak into your business, your brand, your pricing, your funding, your time, and what you can do to push back.

From the cost of motherhood to beauty standards in the workplace to why generational wealth-building still feels out of reach, this episode is a masterclass in economic empowerment. And it’s not just theory; Anna gives us the tools to change things.

If you’re building a business and wondering why it still feels this hard or you want to be part of rewriting the rules, this conversation is your permission slip and your playbook.
