Careers in Finance | Scott Powell


Listen Later

In this episode of Careers in Finance, we sit down with Co-Founder of CFI, Scott Powell. If you are familiar with CFI, then you will know Scott as an instructor and coach. But today, he's showing you a different side as he shares his personal career journey. 

Join us as Scott shares how finding his passion was a process of elimination, and how his full circle career roots his deep passion for mentorship. During this episode, Scott talks about how he wanted his very first job to be in investment banking, but his parents strongly encouraged him to go into Accounting (thanks, Mom and Dad!). But every step has a purpose, and it's through earning his CPA and his time at EY that he found his passion for teaching, and specifically adult education in Investment Banking and Capital Markets. While there is no surprise where his career takes him in the end, Scott's journey demonstrates why the in-between is what makes life so interesting.
