S1. Ep #41 What I Learned From Traveling The World For A Year - with Former Music Supervisor + Financial Advisor, Kristin Wollam

Ready to hit the reset button and reboot? My guest today did just that! And the results were transformative. I'm thrilled to welcome financial adviser Kristin Wollam to the show this week.Kristin began her career as a music supervisor in Los Angeles, working on films such as “The Blind Side,” “Sex and The City 2”, and Tom Ford’s “A Single Man.” She eventually took her talents to the boutique music publishing company Heavy Hitters Music, where she discovered, signed, and shaped artists for music placements in film and TV. In the spring of 2013, Kristin returned to her music supervision roots, becoming a Daytime Emmy Award-nominated music supervisor for her work on The Talk. Kristin also cultivated and began teaching the Music Supervision in Film & TV course at Belmont University’s West Coast location.In this episode, she discusses the realizations that led her to step away from her career in entertainment, travel the world for a year, and ultimately find a new passion in financial planning for individuals, families, and small business-owners. Today, Kristin focuses on entertainment industry strategies and socially responsible investment planning, while also giving back to the entertainment community as a songwriting mentor to 1000+ songwriters.Tune in for an inspiring conversation about career pivots, personal growth, and what you discover when you allow yourself to let go and step away from what you know !Time Stamps:00:28 Welcome to the Hollywood Second Act Club Podcast01:17 Upcoming Pop-Up Dinner Event02:01 Kristen's Journey from Music Supervision to Financial Planning02:28 Thanksgiving Reflections and Personal News03:16 The Decision to Change Careers04:12 Kristen's Background in the Music Industry05:50 Transitioning Out of the Entertainment Industry08:30 A Year of Travel and Self-Discovery15:07 Starting Over in Chicago16:43 Entering the Financial Services Industry18:03 Advice for Aspiring Financial Advisors21:23 The Emotional Side of Financial Planning22:22 Trends in the Entertainment Industry25:49 Kristen's Leap of Faith and Letting Go31:17 Services Offered by Kristen WallumConnect with Kiristin:Website- www.morganstanley.com/[email protected]'s "Masterclass" Guinness Mac and Cheese recipe- let us know when you try it!
