Here we discuss the money, investing and business stories and practices of accomplished local entrepreneurs and business people. During each episode we discuss topics such as personal finance, investing, economics, entrepreneurship, real estate and personal development.

In Today's episode we welcome Samantha LaDuc from LaDuc Trading in Andover, Massachusetts. She is a well established financial advisor and global market analyst that has grown a subscription based stock trading business. After an unexpected illness in her family Samantha sold her prior company and nursed her son back to health. This was 2008 during the financial crisis which peaked her interest in markets and unlocked her passion for the complexities of stock trading.

We go top to bottom through how she makes money, how difficult it has been to break into the industry, what she does and how it all works. You can hear her polish shine as she weaves in-and-out of the different disciplines and with ease offers excellent insights on where the market is heading and why. I got to ask my own nerdy questions, because I share Samantha's passion for investing, and she delivers every time!

Samantha is the first guest on the podcast that I do not know at all so we get to know each other as the conversation unfolds. Her appearances on YouTube, CNBC and Bloomberg made her a natural behind the mic and I am very proud of this episode!

In today's episode I welcome Liesl Clark as a guest and we discuss her 25 year business as a photographer. Over the years she has photographed every shoot you can imagine from weddings, products, modeling, boudoir and nature. Her talents are chronicled through the decades of artistic pictures she has taken.

More recently she has been contracted by Harvard Medical School to capture lectures and faculty around the campus in Boston. One of the added benefits is that she sits in on lectures and meets world class doctors and their students. We learn the ins and outs of her business and how she has adapted over the years as the industry and clientele has changed.

We talk music and movies since she has always loved both art forms. Classics from the 80's and 90's as well as some newer artists she enjoys. She shares her joy of being a mother and how that has influenced her professionally and personally. Liesl praises her children and their accomplishments despite their family's tragedy and finds new meaning to life through their successes.

Liesl shares her simple but effective strategies to running a business and how those can translate to any entrepreneur or company. We laugh and joke throughout the entire episode because we have known each other for years!

Ken can offer new construction to renovations and everything in between. I have personally hired him for a number of projects which have all turned out excellent!

We learn about lumber futures and how the COVID 19 pandemic impacted his businesses. Like many entrepreneurs Ken was forced to change with the times, and the markets, or risk not surviving. Listen in to learn about his strategies for success in all the various business ventures.
