EXPERIENCE 173 | Journeying through Nutrition to Pre-Med and then into Financial Planning with Joseph Vander Linde, Founder and Principle of Noble Capital Group

2 hours 11 minutes

I connect with Joseph Vander Linde most regularly in our shared roles at the Rotary Breakfast Club in Fort Collins, where he is the Membership Chair, and I’m the Sergeant-at-Arms. So, when new people visit I often introduce them, and if they become a member Joseph inducts them into the club some weeks later.

Joseph’s is a journey of triumph over trauma. His mother was a victim of domestic violence from his step-father, and they escaped to a series of secure shelters and safe houses in the witness protection program during his 6th grade to 11th grade years. His grandfather was one of his primary rocks during those years and beyond, and I happened to interview Joseph just days after he delivered the eulogy at his grandfather’s funeral.

Eventually, the threat subsided, his mom remarried a good man and Joseph began his educational and professional journey. He also became interested in finance, getting into podcasts and reading books like “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”.

Joseph’s journey included many hundreds of hours of volunteer research for Mayo Clinic, located nearby his undergrad college, a transfer to a pre-med track from nutrition, and then a move to Colorado to further his medical education with Anschutz. From there, a hard right turn led him to a New York Life office - Legacy Financial Group in Fort Collins - and a couple years later - his own firm. Hard work, smart decisions, and dedication to being an honorable man are the hallmarks of this conversation, and I’m proud to share his journey of triumph through hard times. So please tune in and enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Joseph Vander Linde.
