Nataliey Bitature was repeatedly dismissed early in her career, which pushed her to work harder and prove her value. She argues that generational wealth matters because it funds access to schools, tutors, and training that shape what opportunities your children can pursue.
In the beginning of my career, I used to get dismissed.
Oh, that's just Bitature's daughter, that's why she's here.
Like, yeah, she has no right to be in this meeting, she has no right to be in this company or have access to this information.
Yeah.
And it made me work harder because I don't want to be taken like that. I have to show that I also have value, I'm prepared, I did the reading, I know what questions to ask, I show up, I'm here, like I'm in the field, you know. Every time I'm in the field, like, yeah, like, oh my gosh, you're going to go there in this outfit or in the mud or in the this? No, no, no. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm not a doll, guys. So I get that a lot.
But yeah, but do you think generational wealth is important? Like, do you advocate for everyone to maybe leave something for their kids? Because most people have that negative, oh, generational wealth, or they should work for what they want. I started from zero, they can start from zero. What do you say about that?
I think generational wealth is helpful because it does give your kids a head start. Thank you. Put them in the schools you want them to, or to be able to pay for extracurriculars, like things you want them to learn, extra habits or hobbies or skills. No athlete or musician or world-famous writer was just that way because of what they learned at school. Their parents put in time, put in work, put in tutors, took them to the gym or the track or the pool or whatever. Like, you want to have that choice, and I think that's what wealth is helpful for.
