Last episode of the season! The concept of a "professional wife" refers to a woman who is employed by high-profile men to help them with their business relationships, act as a mediator in their personal relationships, and gain leverage over other men. This unique role involves entering into a contract with a high-profile man and performing various duties, such as attending events and meetings, hosting dinners, and managing social interactions with clients and business partners. While the idea of a professional wife may seem controversial, it has become increasingly common in certain circles as a means of leveraging the social skills and charm of a woman to enhance business outcomes.
In this episode, I explain the role that the professional wife plays in the book and the world of today. I talk about what the professional wife does in the lives of the high profile men, the importance of the professional wife, and the advantages and disadvantages of a professional wife over other women today. I also share what other women can learn from the professional wife. Tune in to learn more about this and other exciting topics!
