180. The Pink Tax with Janine Rogan

The Opposite of Small Talk

The next time you’re shopping the aisles of your local pharmacy or supermarket you might just notice the price difference between products marketed towards women vs. men, if so, you are seeing the “pink tax” in action. Today’s guest, Janine Rogan, a keynote and TEDx speaker, author, entrepreneur, and founder of The Wealth Building Academy Inc. is on a mission to close the wage gap. In our conversation with Janine, we discuss the “Pink Tax” as well as the overall wage gap in society today; some ways to start the important step of wealth building; and how employers and administrators can work towards closing this gap.
