Today’s episode is a special one for many of us at Scholars of Finance as we had the opportunity to sit down with our Co-Founder, Ryan Quinlivan, to discuss the founding story of SOF.

Ryan is a VP of institutional equity sales at Piper Sandler in their New York office. Beyond having a very successful early career thus far, Ryan has helped us build and grow SOF every step of the way on nights and weekends… investing a lot of time in our team, students, and community to help us achieve our mission of inspiring character and integrity in the finance leaders of tomorrow.

Ross and Ryan start with how they both met and got involved in finance, and ultimately, how they started Scholars of Finance. We dive into our vision for finance and SOF as well. Ryan is an amazing person, leader, and deeply knowledgeable about markets - so we can’t wait for you to listen to this episode.

A special thank you to all of our students who submitted questions for today’s interview.
