Leah Jones

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Leah Jones. The two talk about the path that led her to become a woman leader in finance, how to prioritize in a way that allows time for all you hope to do, and what she sees for the future of women in finance.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How she ended up in the financial space, and why she began to figure out money from a young age
• How being a women leader in finance became her thing
• Why she thinks that most women don’t gravitate toward financial careers, and her hopes for bringing more women into the industry
• Leah’s suggestions for finding the career of your dreams
• What challenges and surprises she has come across in the 20 years she’s been in the business
• How she found the time to write a children’s book about financial literacy while being an industry leader and a mother
