🚀 Lightspeed Investing Podcast Episode 56 - Part 1 with Kraig Swanson 🚀

I’m thrilled to announce our latest episode of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast featuring none other than Kraig Swanson, an incredible entrepreneur and investment expert. Kraig’s journey from aspiring attorney to navigating the world of finance at Fidelity—managing multi-billion-dollar clients—to now founding Swanson Capital Reserves is nothing short of inspiring.

In this episode, we dive deep into Kraig’s career pivots, the powerful lessons he learned along the way, and the mindset shifts that helped him transition into fund management.

🎯 Here are a few key takeaways:

💡 Embrace Exploration Early: Kraig shares how pivoting between law, sports agency, and finance allowed him to find his true calling in investments.

💡 Lessons from Fidelity: From handling $100 billion clients to learning the importance of trust, relationships, and delivering value in finance.

💡 The Power of Mentorship & Networking: How a pivotal conversation with a top fund manager gave Kraig the exact roadmap to launching his own fund.

💡 Taking the Leap: The moment Kraig knew it was time to leave corporate life and start his own firm—despite the comfort of a stable, high-level role at Fidelity.

One of my favorite lines from this episode:
“The only time you should look down on someone is when you’re helping them up.”
