Episode 8 – New Century Advisors
Thank you for tuning in to another episode of Owner Operated. This will be the last episode of season one! I wanted to end appropriately on Mother’s day by interviewing perhaps the greatest influence in my career, my mother, who is a successful business owner in her own right. Starting with a professional career she launched her own investment management business in 2001. We cover topics ranging from what it’s like to start your own business after 20+ years working for others and how being a mom has influenced her management style at New Century Advisors.
