Digital Mentorship Episode #6 With Weston Lackey Digital Mentorship

This week on Digital Mentorship, my guest is Weston Lackey. Weston hails from the state of Michigan and found himself studying finance in the Rocky Mountains at Westminster College. Weston shares his experience getting kidnapped in Vietnam and how he chose to study finance over psychology. We learn about the University Valuation Group, the benefits of small class sizes, and building relationships with professors.

Weston is a financial analyst for Daybreak Communities. He was able to leverage an internship with Alliance Residential Company and his passion for finance into a career. An interesting point about his journey is how he started working at Daybreak Communities while still in school. Weston also got a six-month head start working remotely when he wanted to move home to Michigan.

Weston's tips for working from home

Have a separate working space
Try to maintain a routine
Make sure you move around a lot
Try getting a balance board

We play a game called overrated and underrated and we learn about Weston's favorite kind of pizza.

Weston's advice for his former self revolves around continuing to do the right thing, build momentum and focus on creating meaningful relationships with your peers.
