On this episode of The Financial Commute, host Chris Galeski invites Wealth Advisor Priscilla Brehm to discuss how lessons from her past have informed her investment strategies. 

Priscilla grew up on a family farm in Iowa. When she was nine years old, a hailstorm destroyed her family’s crops. However, their milk cows, beef cows, hogs, and hens offered different streams of income and therefore sheltered them from an otherwise financially devastating situation. Priscilla says although investors cannot control external circumstances, they can control the allocation of their investments and the amount of diversification in their portfolio to hopefully mitigate risks.
