Welcome to the eighth episode of the Diversity in Action™ podcast!
Joining us in this episode is Uchechi Kalu, a Financial Advisor, and Ray Pryor, Founder of Pryority Finance , both a product of our internship program. Their journey from before, during, and after their internship is an eye-opener and inspiration for those who want to succeed in the financial planning profession, and also want to change their money story. If that’s you, this episode is for you!
We began the BLX Internship Program with an idea – a vision. Today, we get to witness the embodiment of our vision through the testimonies of our former interns.
They share their stories on how they discovered BLX, experiences with money as children, unpacking these experiences as they grew up, what they learned and discovered through the program, and how they’re changing their money story in their own ways and in their own communities. It’s like a journey of going under “financial therapy”.
Come and join us for this therapeutic session!
