I’m Antoinette Rodriguez, CEO of MarFi Advisors, a New York City-based 17-year marketing and strategy coaching firm for million-dollar financial advisors. Our guest speaker today is Sibyl Steverson Slade. She’ll be sharing with us her fascinating journey from The Fed – to a financial advisor, the power of continuous learning, social capital, and why your yeses should be sacred. Welcome to the show, Sibyl. [00:00:46] Sibyl S Slade: Thank you so much, Antoinette. I am so excited to be here this morning! [00:00:51] Antoinette Rodriguez: And you are in Atlanta? [00:00:53] Sibyl S Slade: Yes, I am in Hotlanta. [00:00:55] Antoinette Rodriguez: Hotlanta = very hot at this time. So, it’s really earning its name! Steven Covey says that you should “start with the end in mind.” I’m sure you’ve heard this quote. Since financial advisors are tasked with the weight of their client’s financial life goals, consistent self-care cannot be overstated. What do you do to charge and recharge? [00:01:21] Sibyl S Slade: Great question. Every day I set aside the first hour of the day. My calendar is totally blocked out for that first hour. And I spend it doing daily devotional meditation. Or I’m listening to some podcast, depending on what’s going on in my world at that time, where I may need some inspiration. And I like to sit and listen to my inner voice. I really set the tone for my day. I don’t wake up checking my email because I know once I get going, my whole day is off. I want to set the tone for my day. And then, when I really want a little more extra me time, I may do some Aquafit. Some self-led Aquafit. I love water. I love nature. I like to walk around in nature. I ride my Harley. Anything that can help me to stay present with myself. This is what I tend to do for self-care. I knew that I was an ambivert, but I learned during COVID that my introvert is the strongest. It’s the most dominant. So, I have to hear myself think. That’s when I can download. That’s when I generate new ideas. I just need to be in tune and fully present with myself. [00:02:31] Antoinette Rodriguez: The way you start your day, it sets everything off, right? Whether it’s diet or whether you eat breakfast or not. There’s a book out that talks a lot about digital technology. To make sure that you don’t start your day checking your email because it can really set you off into a rabbit hole of non-productivity. You have a fascinating background. (From) your work at the Federal Reserve to what you’re doing now – led you to change careers. Would you discuss an “aha” moment that led you down this path to becoming a financial advisor? [00:03:05] Sibyl S Slade: Sure. As you alluded to, Antoinette, I had 21 years at the Federal Reserve. It was a stellar career. I really enjoyed being able to help financial institutions meet their community reinvestment requirements. They had to provide products and services to underserved markets and underserved individuals. And a bit of community impact too. Being able to invest in communities where they could demonstrate impact. While working at the Fed, one of the things that I noticed during the housing boom in 2004, was that in Georgia, over 50% of our mortgage origination was interest-only loans. I knew the minute those things reset, people would not be able to sustain the new mortgages. And for me, I felt we did a disservice. We did a disservice in promoting [00:04:00] home ownership as the primary way to build wealth. Especially to those traditionally marginalized communities. So, I convinced my then-leadership that. I want you to pay for me to do a certification for financial planning. In turn, I would create a financial education curriculum that will allow individuals to understand that there are more pathways to generating wealth. You and I know, Antoinette, small business owners’ investments in home ownership, or real estate, should I say, are the three main ways. But again, we only focus on home ownership. I wanted everyone to know that there’s a plethora of things that are available to them to build wealth. So ...
