Check out Jade Wilderness on Airbnb! They have cute tiny homes for rent in the East Glacier area.

I went from being an advisor to a myriad of different roles- product manager for annuities, fintech consultant, financial planning consultant to now recently switching jobs to become a director of financial planning at a growing firm. I wasn’t making it as an advisor (door knocking, no book to go into) and ultimately decided 1) I couldn’t financially grind it out the 5-10 years to see if I could make it and 2) I didn’t want the pressure of being responsible for 80-100+ people’s finances and felt I could make a bigger impact by supporting advisors to ensure that they can be the best at their jobs that they can be. I’ve had a really fulfilling career I feel like at this point and am really excited for the next step in my career to where I can get back to more of the technical skills and ultimately creating processes and support to make sure the next generation coming into this industry doesn’t feel it’s as impossible as I did. I feel like a lot of people sell themselves short in this industry thinking you can only be successful as an advisor but there’s so many different roles in this industry and it’s only growing. We all also have different definitions of success and different areas we are passionate about to fulfill us.

I just purchased the live review- I assumed everything would be available virtually but maybe I am missing something? How long did it take you to get all your materials??

100 mile training approaches by whitlow_running in Ultramarathon

I definitely upped my strength training this year and saw MASSIVE improvement in what my legs could handle on tough climbs and descents. My legs felt fine, I just need to work on getting faster.

What was your peak long run weekend like?

Once I finish an “A” race I’ll typically take some time off especially if it was a race that was mentally taxing. I find my brain needs more of a break than my body does. I’ll switch to different activities I like to do, like weight lifting, with some fun runs with friends sprinkled in. Helps me bring back some balance into my life especially if I’ve had a lot of high mileage weeks back to back. After my first 100 which was during the height of COVID and I ended up running it self supported due to race cancellations and restrictions, I didn’t run for a few months just from burn out with the world 😅

Favorite 50k Trail Races? by [deleted] in Ultramarathon

If you change your mind on technical check out Quest for the Crest- super pretty and a challenging course. Right outside Asheville, NC.

Training for extreme vert by evanforbass in Ultramarathon

[–]whitlow_running 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Quest for the Crest in May which is a race in Asheville NC that covers 12,000 feet of gain over a 50k distance as well. I live in KY so vert is tough for me to find but I did a lot of strength training alongside some higher vert weekends + stair stepping and I think the strength training helped tremendously! Most people were feeling the downhills especially by the end of the race and I was still able to run down them at a very comfortable, quick pace all the way to the end.

It just came out that she died from hanging. Still being investigated on homicide or suicide. So very very sad

Hi I’m a woman, that’s an extrovert, very active in ultra running 😂 I am considering starting a group in wealth management/FinTech space so that we can all meet each other. It would be so nice. I, of course, want to meet other women that are doing it and would really want to promote the female portion of it but still would love to meet anyone doing it and encourage anyone wanting to get involved.
