Billion Dollar Backstory 105: Liz Fritz, Co-Founder of F2 Strategy, a Boutique Tech Consultancy on Leading with Authenticity in the Wealth Space While Building a Thriving Family
Picture this: You’ve got a big job in finance, two tiny humans at home, and a brutal 90-minute commute. Then one day, you trade it all in to start a business with your husband.
That’s exactly what Liz Fritz did.
In this Episode, she joins Stacy Havener to chat about:
- Taking the leap from corporate to co-founder (with two babies in tow)
- What it’s actually like building a company with your spouse
- Why staying in your lane is the secret to growing fast without burning out
- How story and authenticity help you stand out in the wealth management world
- The future of AI in finance
- Owning her voice in a male-dominated industry (and the resource that helped her do it)
