Manage episode 440532991 series 3444076
Imagine, you’re a woman – one of very few women even in hedge funds. And you’ve got your dream job, a high-powered hedge fund manager for a double-digit billion specialist hedge fund.
Now, imagine what it would take to give that up.
Guts. That’s what. Today’s guest, Shannon Spotswood had the guts to make a major career change when she was at the top of her game. She did something unheard of and it paid off.
Shannon is one of the only people I know to go from one side of the table in the investment world to the other and do so with style, grace, and massive success. That’s why I can’t wait for you to hear from her as we discuss:
- Her backstory – from a 14-year old girl already dreaming of working on Wall Street to making her place in this male-dominated industry
- The breaking point that led her to step away from her dream job and finance altogether
- How that break reenergized her and redirected her back to the investment world where she found true passion and purpose at RFG
More about Shannon:
Shannon is President of RFG Advisory, a $4.5B wealth management platform who just took on an equity partner with a vision of revolutionizing the game. RFG was built by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs – advisors who have a touch of rebel in their DNA.
