Do women need separate financial products designed for them? How will organizations and governments effect real change?  What can women (and men) do right now to further support economic equality?  How will climate change further disrupt gender equality? International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. While COVID-19 highlighted some of the successful accomplishments of women in leadership, we also saw the deeply rooted societal and cultural expectations of genders play out. Laura Reinholz is Head of BMO for Women program inside the Commercial Banking and Wealth Management Division and my guest on today's episode.  Our conversation was inspired by a social media post that sparked a common debate about women and money and equality, and what needs to change. This is bonus episode, un-edited and real, between two women who want to see real change happen.   LET'S CONNECT: Follow Stephanie on Instagram @wolfecollectivewealth www.wolfecollectivewealth.com

"Socially Responsible Sipping" is a term coined by Erin Malecki, the founder of Sip Well, Do Good.  Inspired by the events of 2020, she wanted to find a way to celebrate socially responsible beverage companies and support charitable organizations with similar missions.  The ripple effect from her business will support local businesses and positively impact non-profits that are struggling to keep their doors open during these difficult times.  Sip Well, Do Good ships the boxes of wine directly to your house.  With each purchase, a portion of your proceeds will be donated to a charity.  It's a perfect way to support local business and charities, while giving to friends and family (or yourself!) this holiday season.  Season 3 of the Collective Wealth podcast is about learning how we can earn, spend, and invest our money and time to have a positive impact on the world around us.    2020 has been a year that will change humanity, and after speaking with people like Erin, I like to think for the better.

It is beyond time that we dismantle systematic racism and inequality in business practices and policies. Investing with intention has gone mainstream, which means there’s more choice than ever before for investors to double-down on the values they care about.   Social justice is a priority for many Canadians, and in fact, 71% of Canadians wants their fund managers to engage with Canadian companies to encourage diversity in leadership.  The data on these companies, however, can be difficult to obtain, because in Canada it’s illegal to ask employees about their gender identity, race or ethnicity, and age.   Today’s guest is Meaghan Kelly from AGF Investments.  Meaghan has had the opportunity to dig into the research around diversity and inclusion and what that looks like for Corporate Canada. We discuss: What do Canadians really want when it comes to social justice and the companies they invest in Where you can find the information about social justice as an investment opportunity Why you should use your capital to invest with intention Meaghan is Vice President, Strategic Communications, Research & Product Innovation and is responsible for the product innovation pipeline and corporate and investment communications and marketing initiatives. She also shares with us what AGF Investments is doing to further engage with diversity and inclusion and how they see it shaping the future of Canada’s business landscape.   SHOW NOTES:  Osler Report on D&I in Canada  RIA Survey  www.afg.com/sustainableinvesting.com   Is it time to take control over your wealth and learn to invest, once and for all?  Visit www.wolfecollectivewealth.com
