59-Kate Krieger-on getting more money into the hands of women

April 15, 2020 by Kendall Johnson in Podcast

In today’s episode, I interview Ellevest financial advisor and former pro soccer player Kate Krieger. 

Kate works for Ellevest, a booming start-up investing platform dedicated towards redefining investing for women. Ellevest’s mission is to close the gender investing gap and get more money into the hands of women. 

I like the sound of that.  

And so does Kate.

Kate played pro soccer for Seattle Reign FC, Iceland, Germany, before feeling it was time to move onto something else. She had no idea what that “something else” was. 

It was through connections from her athletic career that she stumbled upon finance. She quickly found this career path to be a great fit for her as an athlete because it’s highly competitive, fast paced, you get to make relationships with people, and there is no ceiling to what you can accomplish.

Speaking of competitive, Kate got married last year and competed in a triathlon a week before her wedding and beat her husband (who is also a very competitive athlete). Girl powaaa.  

That same year, she landed her financial advising position for Ellevest. I highly recommend checking out Ellevest’s insta-they are constantly putting out $$$ resources (insta lives, answering questions, posting articles) to educate women all about money. 

In our conversation Kate talks about:

  • why women are afraid to talk about money (there’s a stat that shows we would rather talk about our own deaths and sex than money!) and how we can change that 

  • why women need to invest differently than men and how to do it

  • tips on how to ask for what you are worth 

  • the basics of investing and how you can take steps today to get dat bread 

  • books, podcasts, and resources to up your $$$ game 

And more!

Praise

“There isn’t anything Kendall does without pouring everything she has to offer into it. She cares enough to not be scared to say what you might not always want to hear. She’s already been a great mentor. She is someone I admire so much. She doesn’t make excuses and will achieve what she is after.”
— Allie Long, USWNT World Cup Champion
“Few people have positively impacted me on or off the field as much as Kendall. She has a unique ability to help elevate all of the lives she comes in contact with. Through her own pursuits, triumphs, and trials, she has accumulated a wealth of different approaches to professional and personal growth. It is impossible to spend time with her and not walk away as a better version of yourself.”
— Michelle Betos, NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year
“In the world of professional athletes, you are surrounded by self-motivated people who are all working to a varying degree of “obsessive” to push themselves as hard and far as they can physically, mentally, and psychologically go. This doesn’t even begin to describe Kendall’s approach to all aspects of life. She lets nothing slip through the cracks and has a natural ability to put her passion to practice. Anyone who sits down in a conversation with Kendall will leave smarter, challenged, and with their perspective on life considerably altered.”
— Emily Menges, NWSL Champion
“I met Kendall at a challenging time in my life, and from the start, I felt comfortable sharing those challenges with her. After I first opened up to her about it, it was easy from then on out because she always helped me see my feelings are valid; my experiences and my story are my own, and I can make them to be what I want. She helped me find the beauty in times of struggle and she somehow managed to respond to my life hurdles, and her own, with an open mind and a good laugh. She has helped me to believe life works for us, not against us, and my life has become better for that. She is an amazing teacher.”
— EJ Proctor, Duke goalkeeper
