Breadwinner Women, Gen Z and Succession with Bridget Venus Grimes

Published 10 months ago
Description

When your career path zigzags from Wall Street to pastry kitchens and back to finance, you pick up lessons most playbooks miss.

In this episode of the Focused on the Future podcast, host Suzanne Siracuse talks with Bridget Venus Grimes, CFP, founder and president of WealthChoice and co‑founder of Equita Financial Network, about centering a firm on breadwinner women, elevating Gen Z through a Rising Professionals program and crafting succession plans that reflect a founder’s values.

Bridget shares how personal experience shaped her niche and why community and retention remain pivotal for women advisors.

Key Points:

  • Her unconventional journey from trader to pastry chef to planner, and how life events led her to serve breadwinner women
  • Building a niche around women attorneys, then expanding to women in tech, executives, and business owners, who are often the primary earners at home
  • Launching WealthChoice to align work with impact after pay disparity and advancement barriers at a prior firm
  • The Rising Professionals program that meets Gen Z where they are, with fee‑for‑service guidance on 401(k)s, budgeting and first goals
  • Equita’s curated succession planning approach to each founder’s vision, values and client continuity
