Ep #225: From Banking to Financial Planning - The Career of Megan Donnelly

XYPNRadio Episode 225 Feature Image

After working in corporate banking for 11 years, Megan Donnelly saw a need arise as she witnessed firsthand the fear and mistakes people made during the financial downturn in 2009. That need made her decide to start her own firm, Quabbin Advisors, and she joins the show today to share why she became so passionate about who she serves and how she serves them.

Listen in as Megan describes her conviction to helping people who needed her the most, as well as how she started putting more into growing her business over the past few years. You'll learn how she is currently transitioning the firm, why she deliberately grew slowly in the first years, and how she is working on casting a vision for the future of her firm.
