In this candid, podcast‑style dialogue, two female speakers discuss the compounded challenges women encounter while building businesses. They recount repeated sexual advances from sponsors, ad creators, videographers, and photographers who blur professional boundaries, forcing them to constantly guard and "weaponize" interactions with men. The conversation highlights the emotional labor required to reject flirtation, maintain discipline, and separate business needs from unwanted attention. They also critique high‑profile podcast guests who, despite fame and wealth, lack substantive knowledge, leaving the speakers feeling intellectually dismissed and frustrated. Overall, the segment underscores how gendered power dynamics, harassment, and superficial networking impede women’s professional growth.
You know how many times I had sponsors who were sponsors who were like, just be my girlfriend. I'll just give you money. Let me just take care of you. That's the shit that I have to deal with too, on top of everything else.
Oh, y'all got it. Women, listen, I'm gonna tell you is that women in business and women out here in this world has it the worst. Because, and I said it on a podcast, we was doing tonight's conversation. I said it, I said, it turn you into a dog because you gotta learn how to be mean, how to fight niggas off because I don't know what your intentions are, what you're coming for, what do you want, what are you trying to get, right? And it's like, ah, like, you're gonna position me with business and you're trying to get sex. And it's like, you're using it against me. And it's like, I have to automatically weaponize all men in this factor because at some point you're gonna try it.
Mmhmm.
And I have to work on my discipline to go, okay, nope, I gotta learn how to reject it. separate the two.
Mm-hmm.
While I'm trying to grow my business, while I'm trying to find resources and learn everything in every capacity, in every part of my business, I have to either go find women to be a part and help me, or I gotta fight with men to get the help and the guidance that I need and deal with this. And it's like, okay, well, I need help with YouTube ad creation. Now I got an ad guy over here who's trying to flirt with me. Oh, I need a videographer. Now my videographer trying to flirt with me. Oh, I got a photographer. Oh my— at the everything, every line is like, no shade to you, boss. But, you know, it's like every room is like, goddamn, like now my guests, I got guests on my podcast.

They be, you know, million followers, blue check, everything, you know, they got contracts and all that shit. Every time I say, come on my show, oh, you on that type of time? Yes, I'm on that type of time. What type of time you think I'm on? I'm past that stage of, you know, being around athletes Just because oh you're an athlete and we're gonna go get a table. I don't give a fuck. I don't get to see nothing out of it. Yeah, and that's something that like the moment I realized that I was like oh my god y'all are so boring. Like what the fuck? I know more than you. You might have the money, but you don't have the knowledge. Where where we're going with this? And you're gonna go and hoe around and fuck around. I'm like you're gonna make me look stupid. I'm good. I don't need that. And it's just this is like don't and don't and oh I'm different. Yeah you the fuck you not.
