As we celebrate entrepreneurs this month, I want to give a shout-out to my parents, Dan and Norma Hunt, who are serial entrepreneurs and gave me the bug early to be a business owner myself. I was also blessed to learn about money and personal finance through conversations around the dinner table and their personal example, including being shown the family budget when I was 16. This upbringing gave me the confidence to make financial decisions as I went out on my own, bought my first house, and became a shareholder in my twenties.
I know this is not everyone’s experience; however, and some women (and men) were raised in homes where money was either a taboo topic or one that was only discussed during stressful times. Wherever individuals fall on the spectrum of financial acumen and experience, I love the educational process because there is always more to learn. The world of finance and investments is continually evolving. I do this work because I see how powerful women can be when confident about their financial future.
Because this is such a passion of mine, it was natural that I would get involved with HerPath, one of the many important initiatives at Pathstone, and I am honored to serve as its chair currently.
