Podcast: The Secret Currency of Love

Comment

Posted: February 17, 2009

On this week's Alpha Consumer Podcast, I interviewed Hilary Black, editor of The Secret Currency of Love: The Unabashed Truth About Women, Money, and Relationships. She explains why money plays such a big role in relationships as well as how she got the contributors to be so honest and forthcoming about such a taboo topic. I also asked her why a similar book written by men would probably be somewhat less interesting. You can also pick up the Alpha Consumer Tip of the Week on why it's so hard to save money.

Excellent Interview

As a man in the business world, this is certainly an overlooked topic! While Ms. Black says that some men might be uncomfortable in the workplace when a woman earns more and "outmans" him. As a 30 year old man, I personally do not mind seeing or learning about one of my younger female colleagues making as much or more than me. If most men can get past the ego aspect, I think it actually evens the playing field and makes the workplace much more laxed, especially when it comes to that unspoken gender bias issue.
My only hang up is that when women in the workplace do find themselves higher on the business food chain than their male counterparts, to not use it as trump card in their pocket.
But that's just my two cents.
