About this podcast
The Athena Why: to bring the American dream to life.
- Leading is hard.
- Building a reliable tribe is hard.
- Investing right is hard.
- Running a business is hard.
But doing hard is possible. And we love to talk with those that have been there and done that as they carve out their version of the American dream.
Join lawyer Katy Spicer and finance guru James Collins as they set out to build the Athena community. Along the way they will share tales of their civilian careers and Marine Reserve journey, and connect with brilliant legal minds, successful entrepreneurs, Military and civilian leaders, veterans and more, to hear, learn, and grow from their triumphs and setbacks along their individual journeys.
