In this new episode of Breaking & Entering, portfolio manager Jeff Mueller delves into the epiphany that made him turn to investments after spending a decade in the United States Marine Corps. Mueller shares the transferable skills he still benefits from in his current role at Polen Capital and he points at current outstanding opportunities in the equity market.

The investor also debunks Hollywood myths that portray the military (as well as the investment industry) as individualistic and he praises the value of team culture.
