What is Women of Wealth?
Women of Wealth is where generational wisdom meets entrepreneurial ambition.
Hosted by Hawley Woods Gray and Allie Ramo, the podcast brings two generations - and two distinct perspectives - to conversations about money, business, leadership, and building a life on your own terms.
Hawley brings the Gen X perspective, shaped by decades of experience in business, finance, leadership, and wealth building. Allie brings the Millennial perspective of a modern entrepreneur navigating growth, opportunity, and what success looks like for the next generation. Together, they prove that some of the best lessons happen when women at different stages of life learn from one another.
Each week, Hawley and Allie sit down with powerhouse founders, executives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers for candid conversations about the wins, challenges, pivots, and lessons behind their success.
Expect powerful stories, practical advice, different perspectives, and honest conversations about money, entrepreneurship, career, confidence, leadership, and creating lasting wealth.
Because wealth is about more than money. It’s about freedom, opportunity, impact, and creating a life on your own terms.
