My name is Sam Krieger and I am a 17 year old high school student interested in learning and exploring the careers of finance and business professionals. Through these conversations, I gain not only valuable career insights but also personal advice from their experiences and stories. I hope these conversations not only pass on advice that anyone can learn from, but also highlight that success is rarely a straight path: every career comes with its own challenges, detours, and moments of growth.
