Today I speak with IFBB Pro Karene Richards-Wise, a health coach, pro athlete, board member, finance chair and inspirational speaker with 18 years experience in Investment Banking. She is also the former CEO of the Association for Women in Science. After her mom died at age 48 from breast cancer, she decided to live her life differently and practice better self care. After her own health scare, Karene hired a health coach and achieved an incredible physique transformation. In 2019 Karene was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of African Descent under 40 by the United Nations. She currently serves on the boards for both The Association For Women in Science and The National Speakers Association.”   Karene talks to us about wealth management and why a budget is so important to us as competitors!
