Christian Mijares (@runbrownrun) graduated from Geneva College in 2014 with a degree in Marketing. In just over 2 years from college graduation, Christian manages $60 million as a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley, an elite investment bank. 

In this episode, Christian and I discuss his story and:

What the world of high finance looks like and what it means to be someone’s personal “Chief Financial Officer” Why interpersonal skills are atop the most important skills to develop Why persistency is the most valuable element in building a client list How to face rejection and overcome being told “no” Why “playing the long game” is critical to developing a network How to use commonalities to connect with anyone How to use the “3-day rule” in professional networking How to “play in traffic” and why immersing yourself in your proposed career track is valuable How to become class president How to use varsity sports in college to build friendships

Christian’s “tweetable” advice: “Get involved and enjoy the time.”
