I am thrilled to have the incredible Sam McLemore on the show this week. Sam is a true champion of empowering women to achieve financial independence and leads a prolific career in investing.
In this episode, we dive deep into Sam’s fascinating life, starting from her childhood in Vermont, where she grew up with parents who had contrasting views on money. These early exposures to money, working from a young age, and navigating financial anxieties shaped her relentless drive to never be dependent on anyone financially.
Sam shares how her father’s introduction to the stock market during her teenage years sparked her interest in investments, which fueled her pursuit of a finance career, eventually working with legendary investor Bill Miller.
Sam’s journey is marked by calculated career and investment moves, including buying her first house just a year out of college and trying to live an aspirational life as a Vermont innkeeper` – a challenging yet illuminating experience.
As the founder and managing member of Patient Capital, Sam discusses her vision for creating a highly trusted, investor-friendly firm, and shares her passion for supporting other women in finance. We talk about balancing career and family life, the importance of instilling financial values in her children, and her drive to integrate principles of stoicism and mindfulness into her business practices.
