My guest this week is Joe McLean, founder of Intersect Capital, which provides financial advisory services to a variety of clients, including a number of NBA players and other professional athletes. What I loved about this conversation was the weaving of sport coaching and finance into a cohesive whole. There's so much to take from this discussion from the importance of service and low self-orientation, to the impact of strict standards for who you work with, to common mistakes we all tend to make with money. Please enjoy my conversation with Joe McLean.
Joe's History as an Athlete
So Joe, usually I don't do a whole lot of background or backstory at the beginning of these, but I just find yours especially interesting. So I think we'll do it this episode. Could you begin by telling us how you got to where you are today? You're in a fairly unique position. We'll talk a lot about the ins and outs of your business now, but your backstory as an athlete and someone in finance sort of makes you uniquely situated for this. So you can begin wherever you'd like. I definitely wanna tell that story about your time in Ireland, hustling and trying to make a go of it as a professional player. Tell us about your backstory.
