What does it take to be an authentic leader? Allison Grafton is the award winning President and Founder of Rockwood Custom Homes. In this episode, she shares the details of her journey, from kicking off a career in the male-dominated investment banking industry in the early 1990s to starting Rockwood Custom Homes after facing obstacles in her own renovation projects.

We discuss the personal attributes she considers as fuel for her success, where her confidence comes from, and what she would advise other women in male-dominated fields. Next, we get into the premise and foundational values that she has built her business on and the epic scale of the projects that she has completed. We touch on plenty of different topics, from vulnerability in leadership to mentorship among women, book recommendations, and more.

What if everyday investors could tap into hedge fund-level strategies without the hefty price tag? In this episode, we sit down with Bob Elliott, co-founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited Funds, who is reshaping the world of alternative investments. With a career that kicked off at the renowned Bridgewater Associates, where he worked alongside legendary investor Ray Dalio, Bob is now on a mission to bring sophisticated, low-cost investment strategies to the masses.

How does he do it? By harnessing the power of machine learning to challenge the traditional two-and-twenty fee structure.
