Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Eliza Filby leads not through an organisation but through ideas, and her influence maps cleanly onto The Navigator archetype.

“And ask yourself certain questions. What role does money play in your relationships? What's the kind of what kind of career are you entering and what's the financial dynamics of that career? Who's making it? Who's not? Why? To what extent is your education something you can capitalize on or not?”
“Yeah, and I think that so much of that kind of lean-in feminism has been about internalizing these issues and going, what do I need to have to do? And so much of our generations mantra has been about self-care, self-improvement, you know, self-regulation, you know, self-self.”

“As rich as the boomers. And so I can't rely on them as much as you did. So I'm going to do things differently. And you're already saying, you know, multiple streams of revenue earlier, like a real strong investment culture amongst Gen Z, greater financial savviness and education and literacy.”
