Why More Women Need Life-Changing Amounts of Money

with Elaine Asher, Co-Founder of EVE Wealth

Elaine Asher

Welcome!

In this episode, I’m thrilled to sit down with the inspiring Elaine Asher, a powerhouse in educating and empowering women to gain financial independence through investing, especially in alternative assets.

Elaine shared how she grew up being super studious with a heavy emphasis on getting a liberal arts education after high school. We dive deep into Elaine’s early memories of money and how the Black Monday stock market crashed in 1987 served as an early lesson in the broad impact the stock market has on society.

Elaine takes us through her diverse career, from non-profit fundraising to private wealth management, eventually leading her to the dynamic world of cryptocurrency. Her mission is clear: to break down barriers and enable more women to participate in all types of investing — especially crypto.

Elaine also discusses her latest venture, Eve Wealth, which aims to simplify and demystify investing in digital assets for women. Tune in to learn about the impactful changes Elaine is making and how you can take steps toward your own financial empowerment.
