Quote of the Show (16:00):

“The best part of my day is talking to a customer who tells me that she came from an immigrant family and she was never given the confidence to feel like an investor. Because when she thinks of a typical investor, she thinks of a guy working on the New York Stock Exchange. Alinea is a brand that has made her feel included and accepted.” – Eve Halimi
