Two of our favorite excuses for holding onto a few extra pounds and being out of shape: Too little time and too little money.

I know how important it is to drink water, but plain H2O bores me to death, so I inevitably end up dehydrated.

International Women's Day means many things to many people. Officially, it is 'a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.' These are important points that deserve to be called out - so we all remember their significance.

I think, for young people, and I think, for women, it's great to work in new products and derivatives products because, if you work in a plain-vanilla product, it's going to take you decades to get to a level where other people are.

Social media is amazing because it's opened a platform for so many people to have a voice - but that voice can get inside your head, and it can really mess with you.

People stop believing what the media tells them when they see media superstars say things like, 'Let the economy fail.'

When you see celebrities say, 'I hope the economy bottoms out to get rid of Trump,' I think that helps Trump.

In banking, it was my responsibility to deliver investment opportunities and solutions to hedge fund clients, and at Bloomberg, it's my job to break down news that matters to our viewers and readers.
