Over the next two decades, trillions of dollars will move into the hands of women through inheritance, entrepreneurship, ownership, and leadership. But this conversation isn’t just about wealth transfer. It’s about redesigning the systems that determine who earns, who owns, who gets funded, and who gets remembered when opportunities emerge. In this energizing and deeply practical conversation, revenue strategist and founder Andrea Mac joins Gillian Stovel Rivers to unpack the hidden architecture behind women’s economic empowerment. Together, they explore why sales is still one of the most overlooked wealth-building skills, why access - not talent - is often the real barrier, and how women can intentionally redirect capital, opportunity, and influence to accelerate economic change within a single generation. This episode is part economic strategy, part systems redesign, and part call-to-action. Because the future won’t change simply because women inherit wealth. It changes when women learn to generate it, direct it, and deploy it intentionally, and co-create The Economy of Her.

The issue is proximity to opportunity.” “Women don’t just invest differently - they circulate money differently.” “If you want to compress 400 years into 40, start with revenue.” “Connect your work to profit and revenue generation - that’s what advances careers and creates ownership.” “Most people want to help you - you just have to ask clearly enough for them to know how.” “Technology doesn’t care who’s holding it.
