Maintaining genuine professional relationships isn’t just nice, it’s essential. In this episode, we talk about how staying in touch (even casually) can quietly shape your career in powerful ways—and how it’s played out over decades for our guest, Soo Finley.
This week, I got to catch up with my high school friend Soo Finley, who now works at the executive level in banking—and let me tell you, her career path has been anything but predictable (just the way we like it on this show). Soo walks us through her squiggly journey from Hicksville, Long Island (yep, that's a real place) to studying chemistry and engineering, and eventually finding her stride in the world of banking and finance. If you’re figuring out how to bring more of you into your work, or just wondering how people land in jobs they never saw coming, this one’s for you.
🎧 We cover:
Shifting from science to finance
Staying open to unexpected opportunities
Building meaningful professional relationships
Leadership lessons from inside banking
Personality tests, mentorship, and more
