In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I sit down with Emmy Sobieski, a former fund manager who ran the number one fund in the world and now coaches high performers on how to build real, lasting wealth.

Emmy’s story is not a straight line. It’s a mix of smart decisions, missed opportunities, intense pressure, and hard-earned clarity about what actually matters.

We talk about the idea of leverage and why most people spend too long “breaking in” and not enough time building equity in their careers. She shares how small shifts in where you sit in a business can completely change your financial trajectory, and why chasing the next pay rise is often a distraction from building something far more valuable.

We also get into the reality behind high performance. The 80-hour weeks. The moments where success comes at a cost. And how she learned to rethink health, energy, and sustainability without stepping away from ambition.

This is a practical conversation for anyone who wants to be more deliberate about their career, their money, and how they show up as a leader.

If you’ve ever questioned whether working harder is really the answer, this one will give you a different way to think about it.
