Welcome back as our WTF! Women Talk Finance hosts, Candace and Jackie, present shocking financial crimes. Our hosts, who love true crime so much they have been inspired to delve into true financial crime.
In today’s episode, Candace takes us back to the summer of 1980’s and to Lake Tahoe, specifically to Harvey’s Resort Hotel in South Lake Tahoe, NV. Several men masqueraded as photocopier deliverers and were able to plant an elaborately booby-trapped bomb containing 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of dynamite within the front offices of Harvey’s Resort Hotel. Candace walks us through this wacky escapade of our inept true-crime criminals.
Then Jackie brings us a historical crime from the 1700’s, not only that we have a female fraudster (nicknamed “Golden Booze”) at the heart of our story. Beware! Confidence scams have been around for a long time, and they are STILL happening! While we take a lighthearted look at crimes from the past, we understand crimes like these are serious. For a good example, take a look at this keynote address from Ayleen Charlotte titled; “Breaking Down the Shame and Taboo of Fraud.” Ayleen was the subject of the 2022 Netflix documentary, “The Tinder Swindler,” watched by people across 200 countries around the world.
Thanks for listening to WTF Women Talk Finance-Financial Crimes Part 2! -

Welcome back as our WTF! Women Talk Finance hosts, Candace and Jackie, present TRUE ( and kind of shocking) financial crimes.
Our hosts love true crime so much they have been inspired to delve into true financial crime.
In today’s episode, Jackie brings us the story of Mark Dreier, the architect of a $400 million Ponzi scheme that was blown off the front pages by Bernie Madoff himself. Dreier’s arrest was referred to as “the most bizarre arrest in the history of white-collar crime.”

Candace chose a Canadian true crime as she presents the Quebec Maple Syrup Heist. Yes, it’s as weird as it sounds.

*TRIGGER WARNING* We discuss delicate issues on this podcast related to trauma, mental health, and suicide.
The idea of “value” in our culture is one that we attach to the money we make, the weight we are, the age we are, and the job we hold. So often, our over-identification with the decimal points of a paycheck or the armor we don sets us up for failure in the remaining spaces of our lives.
When one of those pieces that we attach to our worth slips, a downward spiral can occur. All too often, we see this in the media with stories like that of the Bed, Bath, and Beyond CFO, who took his own life amidst financial crisis in the company. In the warrior servant space (fire, police, military, medical, etc), it may be the very uniform they wear. “Without that, who am I?”
Dr. Steven Nicholas - our very own Dr. Phil - talks with our fearless female founders about this and more, on episode 34 (a bonus episode!) of the WTF! Women Talk Finance podcast.
From the silver lining of one’s deepest, darkest moments, to the disservice of bios and elevator pitches, Dr. Steve dives into what it all boils down to - a sense of belonging outside of our professional work. His snippets of brilliance range from Cheetos to micro-dates, and a deep purpose in managing the world around us.
Join us, as we get real … and then weigh in on what color couch our resident therapist needs for future episodes. This episode, our first with a male guest, should really be billed as a session…for the entire cast.
[3:54] Why talking about mental health is so crucial.
[5:43] The concept of wealth and worth
[8:43] The concept of warrior servants - who are these people outside of the armor they wear?
[13:10] The Charlie Brown Theory
[17:05] When did we decide that we have to have our shit figured out all the time?
[22:06] When facing darkness and pain, the darker the better.
[23:43] The concept of time in depression, anxiety, and the present moment.
[25:04] What does it mean to be congruent as people, and what’s the benefit to it?
[27:34] “You suck at dying and failing.”
[29:50] Amplifying your abilities for resistance by getting back to your basics.
[33:02] Many of us are in our ideal setting when we’re able to be small.
[33:56] If we’re going to experience financial ruin, does our life have to be over? You make that decision.
[34:47] Your self-talk, self-identity, and self-awareness are key to coming through the pain of truthfulness and emerging on the other side a better version of self.
[40:29] Let’s dial back into the key ingredients of who we are.
[43:09] You can’t be the most genuine version of yourself all the time. But you can HONOR your genuine nature.
[46:16] The power of curiosity in the darkness.
[49:41] Failure does not need to be the end.

Today we’re joined by strategic consultant and founder of Vancourage, Vanessa Vancour. As a DEI speaker and self-proclaimed status-quo skeptic, Vanessa works in the bilingual, strategic storytelling space for brands, organizations, and people who are deeply committed to amplifying diverse voices and doing things differently. At the heart of her business is the desire to think critically about how we tell stories and use those stories to connect with others.
The story we tell about ourselves through words or actions can shape how others see us. When we opt out of telling our own story, others will write it for us based on their knowledge of us – however limited.
Within the business scope, telling the story of your product or service can mean the difference between genuinely connecting with the right audience or slogging through issues from unruly clientele to misrepresented products. Learning to tell your story strategically is difficult and time-consuming…and well worth the effort.
why understanding our core values is crucial to telling our stories how Vanessa managed to find her own story what value lies in owning all parts of your story who you attract by telling your story authentically when Vanessa believes businesses need to look into their stories (hint: its earlier than you’d think)
Dig in with us as we hear from Vanessa about the importance of telling our stories:Here's a breakdown of the episode:
[2:18] Why telling your own story is so important. [7:08] Imposter Syndrome rears its ugly head. [8:26] The differences each of us brings to the table are the reasons people interact (or do business) with us. [11:29] Vanessa shares her view on how corporations and brands tell stories, and the mistakes she sees them make. [14:46] Stories have the ability to build – or rupture – trust. [21:33] Businesses need to have feedback loops in place. You can’t be successful without critical feedback.Vanessa's Bio:
Vanessa Vancour is the strategist and founder of Vancourage, a bilingual storytelling and strategic consulting firm for brands, organizations, and people who are deeply committed to amplifying diverse voices and doing things differently. Vanessa is a born storyteller, bilingual editorial consultant, and Latinx marketer who’s committed her 16+-year career to bringing diverse narratives—and meaningful conversations— to every newsroom, classroom, and ad-agency boardroom she's been a part of.

She talks about connection to the land, medicine in its truest form, and the need to acknowledge our shadow along with our light.

TITLE: WHAT’S THE COST OF LIQUIDITY? The Illiquidity Premium and Alternative Investments with hosts Jackie Kuiper & Candace Powell
This week, our hosts effortlessly unpack a seemingly complex topic: the “illiquidity premium” in investing. (Although, once you understand the basics, you’ll realize it’s not as complicated as it sounds.)
Pros and cons can be found in any area of life, and the investment space is no exception. Liquid investments (like high yield savings accounts, stocks, or bonds) carry certain risks and rewards, as do illiquid investments – those that are more difficult to sell for cash value relatively quickly (like real estate). Listen-in to learn more about the difference between liquid and illiquid investments and how you can leverage both investment types to help place you in a stronger financial position down the road.*
*Please note, this podcast is for entertainment and educational purposes only. We are not financial advisors, nor are we providing financial or investment advice.Come along with us to learn:
· the definition of, and difference between, liquid and illiquid investments
· the risks and rewards of illiquid investments
· why illiquid assets can help to quell the emotional volatility of investing
Here's a look at the episode:
· [1:10] What is a liquid investment vs. an illiquid investment?
· [2:12] Is my investment liquid?
· [2:57] George in It’s A Wonderful Life explained banks (and similarly, investments) perfectly, and outlined what our money is doing.
· [4:24] Why would someone choose illiquidity?
· [5:28] What are the benefits of illiquidity?
· [5:51] Understanding the illiquidity premium.
· [6:50] How market volatility and emotional volatility are connected and can be managed with illiquid assets.
· [8:48] Millennials have been through several big market changes (the Great Recession, COVID, the Great Resignation) – how might their experiences alter the way they invest?
· [10:35] Where to go with investing now.

From creative to legal, Wynne links two things that don’t often mesh naturally, and shares how and why they need to coexist in business.
Wynne’s starting point for all creatives of “What do you want and need from this venture?”the sometimes-rough truth to what entrepreneurship looks like IRL vs. on socialhow and why messaging to entrepreneurs shifts depending on their phase of lifethe down-and-dirty of starting a business, and warnings on not getting dupedwhat causes burnout and how Wynne suggests protecting yourself against itwhere to really spend the money
We’ve talked with Wynne before, and just can’t get enough. As a self-described “conscientious lawyer and public speaker, fueled by hard work, passion, and success, with tireless support for others.”, Wynne has seen the many pieces that play into making business work.
Wynne runs Reece Law [https://www.reece-law.com/] with her father, Jim Reece, and founded The Creative's Counsel® [https://www.reece-law.com/creativescounsel] -- a legal niche which provides services to entrepreneurs and creatives. Specializing in corporate, intellectual property, and mergers and acquisitions, The Creative's Counsel® supports businesses in an outside general counsel capacity. Their motto is, “We work, so that you can dream.”
In finding a path for entrepreneurs and creatives to understand and own their businesses, Wynne relies on her own success in marrying the two pieces.
This conversation serves up concrete to-dos in order to get a business or idea rolling, and offers a shift in perspective so, as a creative, your dreams and desires translate to those in the logistics side of things. Come along with us as we discuss:Here’s a look at the episode:
[1:11] A recent study showed that 72% of Gen Z wants to start their own company. Wynne thinks that number may be low.[5:22] Wynne has different messages for those younger dreamers versus the seasoned professionals who are reinventing themselves.[7:49] The down-and-dirty of starting a business has a number of important pieces. (*This is NOT legal advice. These are our opinions only). Take notes here – you’ll be glad you did![13:51] Burnout is a real thing and WILL happen at some point, and can be harder without the right team in place. Rather than trying to do it all and be it all, consider what the right team can do to let you thrive.[15:10] Three things Candace believes you always need to spend money on…and how it will serve you.[16:35] When the need arises for the creative to put on the analytical hat - and it will – there’s a trick to speaking the right language to the right people in order to move yourself forward in an easy way.[20:14] Creatives often walk in to a potential partnership sharing their vision and dream, while executives are looking for the best bet for their business. Those opposing views can be detrimental, but that’s where the business is happening. Figuring out how to marry the two will bring it all to fruition.Please rate and review the show!
