Digital Mentorship Episode #6 With Weston Lackey


Listen Later

This week on Digital Mentorship, my guest is Weston Lackey. Weston hails from the state of Michigan and found himself studying finance in the Rocky Mountains at Westminster College. Weston shares his experience getting kidnapped in Vietnam and how he chose to study finance over psychology. We learn about the University Valuation Group, the benefits of small class sizes, and building relationships with professors.

Weston is a financial analyst for Daybreak Communities. He was able to leverage an internship with Alliance Residential Company and his passion for finance into a career. An interesting point about his journey is how he started working at Daybreak Communities while still in school. Weston also got a six-month head start working remotely when he wanted to move home to Michigan.

Weston's tips for working from home
  1. Have a separate working space
  2. Try to maintain a routine
  3. Make sure you move around a lot
  4. Try getting a balance board
  5. We play a game called overrated and underrated and we learn about Weston's favorite kind of pizza.

    Weston's advice for his former self revolves around continuing to do the right thing, build momentum and focus on creating meaningful relationships with your peers.

    If you are interested in pursuing a career in corporate finance or small business valuation please reach out to Weston on LinkedIn!
