In this episode of Think Bigger Voices, host Jennie Treby sits down with Shirl Penney, founder and CEO of Dynasty Financial Partners. Shirl discusses his remarkable childhood journey from poverty, food insecurity and homelessness in rural Maine to a successful career on Wall Street - to becoming the founder of one of the fastest-growing independent wealth management firms in the country.
Shirl shares powerful lessons on resilience, mentorship, financial empowerment, and the people who helped shape his path - especially his grandfather - who changed the course of his life with one selfless decision.
Packed with wisdom on leadership, purpose, mentorship and giving back, this episode will leave you inspired to think bigger - and serve as a reminder that where you start does not determine where you can go. Fun fact: Shirl had perfect school attendance from kindergarten through 12th grade!
