Karen and Jean will interview each other regarding the financial state of our nation.

Among the topics, they will touch on and address are:
• What the retail investor is doing right now
• Markets broadly
• Financial TV
• The steps you should take in your financial life that free you up to invest
• Women and money
They will also discuss their own personal trajectories since leaving Penn, including how they each ended up on TV, and, in Jean’s case, how a liberal arts major carved out a career in finance. They will also take questions at the end of their interview.
