The Innovating Advice Show

If you're looking for ways to stand out, come out of your shell or battle that pesky imposter syndrome, this episode is for you.   From his first job in financial services at a large company, Russell Ho leveraged his creativity and determination to stand out, impress the well-funded marketing department and make a name for himself.   But that didn't come naturally. As we discuss, Russell was an introvert and wasn't sure how to connect with clients and prospects. But he threw himself in the deep end, with one creative initiative after another, knowing that failure - if it came - wasn't the worst outcome.   As his success has grown he's also battled imposter syndrome, which we chat about.

Chanelle Pattinson is a rising star and young woman in financial planning. She grew up thinking financial advice was boring and that advisors just drink tea and make money grow through watching her father.
