Jeff Lavin: From Snowboarder to Private Equity Grit

In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Jeff Lavin, a former pro snowboarder turned private equity renegade, for a high-intensity conversation about blending grit with capital markets. Jeff is the definition of what happens when farm-boy hustle meets financial precision: he's raised barns and capital, slung hay and securities, and he does it all with flannel and a rebellious grin. This isn't your glossy finance interview; we're diving into the messy parts of scaling without selling out.Jeff Lavin embodies a profound identity reclamation: taking the same adrenaline and intuition he used to huck cliffs and applying it to structuring SEC-compliant securities. We talk about the awkward detours and the pressure to conform, and how leaning into your "send-it" spirit is an act of radical self-love. Why settle for your dad's diet soda when you can have the full, ridiculously real thing?This conversation is your permission slip to stop editing the parts that make you magic, even if one part is blue-collar and the other is capital markets. Julie May and Jeff Lavin discuss how to achieve flow state in your business, set boundaries that stick, and utilize your inherent grit to achieve breakthrough success. You'll walk away with the courage to blend your most authentic parts and let your success get loud.Want to learn more about Jeff Lavin?
