Transitioning from Wall Street to a Meaningful Life

The speaker highlights their journey from a successful career on Wall Street to founding Rad Reads, a platform focused on living a joyful and examined life. After 14 years at BlackRock, they experienced a 'third of a life crisis' at 35, prompting them to question the meaning behind their pursuit of wealth and success. This transition spurred them to create content that emphasized productivity, personal finance, and the deeper questions surrounding the purpose of money. Over time, the focus of Rad Reads evolved from tactical advice to more existential conversations about leading intentional lives.
