59. Intro to Real Estate Investment Banking

1h 17m · Published 13 Apr 09:00

Want to understand commercial real estate investing? Real estate banking? What about starting your own investment bank? Or succeeding in the upper echelons of finance while raising young children? How about ALL OF THE ABOVE?

We are joined today by Deborah Smith, CEO and co-founder of a boutique investment bank specializing in real estate advisory, to explore the 101s of CRE investing and deal making, as well as the monumental challenge of starting your own investment bank. We also continue our conversation up and down the corporate ladder on the question of female mentorship.

Deb is a force of nature. She shares her story of how she went from a dairy farmer in Australia to the most elite banking group at Morgan Stanley to Wall Street CEO (all while raising three young children, no less), living life according to her personal philosophy of "the universe doesn't owe you anything". Her brilliance, moxie, and humor make this a MUST LISTEN for anyone interested in real estate, investment banking, or trying to balance work and family life in the world's most competitive environments.

55. Women on Wall Street: Is There a Problem with Female Managers?

1h 12m · Published 03 Apr 11:00

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article titled "Women Aren't Getting the Big Jobs at Goldman Sachs, and They're Heading for the Exits" (linked below). That same day, we were asked by our social media community whether our best managers were male or female when we were working at investment banks. Our answer? Male.

We received HUNDREDS of messages from our community --- from mostly women --- saying their experience with female managers on Wall Street was overwhelmingly negative.

So we wanted to have a frank, open discussion of these two distinct but very related topics in a public forum to discern what the nature of the problem is and to try and suggest possible solutions.

We are joined by two amazing women for this conversation: Carissa Jordan and Nikki Boulukos, currently the co-founders of Benjamin Talks, a company on a mission to facilitate financial literacy for people of all ages starting with children. Carissa and Nikki started their careers in Fixed Income and Equities Sales & Trading at Goldman Sachs, and rose through the ranks before exiting for individual reasons we will discuss.

This will be the first of many conversations with women ranging from the junior most levels all the way to the C-suite. Anyone working on Wall Street or planning on a career in the industry needs to listen to this episode.

Bitcoin is at an all-time high. New digital currency ETFs are coming to the market, broadening access to and increasing the legitimacy of an asset class that very few people truly understand.

In this episode, we discuss not only the current state of the market, but also give listeners a bit of a crash course in how these cryptocurrencies are used, the scope of the ecosystem, and a quick explainer on the differences between some of the big names you may have heard of.

This is part one of a two part series. Next week we will bring Chris back on for a deeper dive into the evolution of careers in the crypto space, layer two economies, and the institutional framework supporting the future of crypto trading.
