About this week's special guests: Jennifer Lee
Jennifer Lee is the founder of Modern-Wealth, a Sarasota-based financial advising firm helping individuals going through major life events successfully gain control of their finances. She has been in the financial services industry for 26 years; 44 years if you count tagging along with her father to his office. This might not be the norm, but she truly enjoys her work. For her, it’s fulfilling and fun. She enjoys engaging with people, whether they might be experiencing divorce or selling a business, in order to educate and strengthen their relationship with money. Throughout the years of working with clients, she has noticed the growing importance of communicating one's values to the most important people in their lives. This was the driving force for her to write her first book, “Squeeze the Juice: Live With Purpose, then Leave a Legacy.”
