So many times you'll be in a conversation with an investor who has no interest in investing in you,

but they're looking at another company next door, and they're doing due diligence on that

investment, and they want to learn about what you're doing. Remember that, and give them

information very intentionally, and it's like dating, you know, go slow. It's okay. Go slow. It's a very important

relationship. Hey, everyone. Thanks so much for joining us today on Her Money. I'm Gene Chatsky.

And I'm wondering what was your most recent big idea, your most recent brainstorm? Have you ever invented anything or

patented anything? According to the World Economic Forum, just 10.9% of all patents in the U.S.

are granted to women. That number is climbing slowly, but you know us here

at her money. We're impatient. These things do not happen quickly enough. There is this enormous

gender gap when it comes to who gets credit and who gets compensated for all manner of ideas and inventions.

My guest today, Brie McKean, she knows a thing or two about that and about patents.

She's got six of them.

Brie is the founder of lingerie brand Evelyn and Bobby because she had a dream for a better bra.

She struggled for years with aching shoulders, tension headaches, and posture issues from

wearing an underwire bra. And she was disappointed with the alternative bra options on the market so she created

her own solution today we're going to hear about how she did it and what the landscape is like for

other women with inventions of their own free welcome to the show hi jean i'm so happy to be here
