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.
Her career is anything but linear. It is shaped by sharp decisions, missed opportunities, sustained pressure, and a growing clarity about what actually matters over time.
We explore the concept of leverage and why many people spend too long trying to break into roles rather than building equity in their careers. Emmy explains how small shifts in where you sit within a business can significantly change your financial trajectory, and why focusing on the next pay rise can distract from building something more meaningful and durable.
We also talk about the reality behind high performance. The long hours, the trade-offs, and the point where success begins to come at a cost. Emmy shares how she has rethought health, energy, and sustainability, while still maintaining ambition and drive.
If you are looking to take a more deliberate approach to your career, your financial future, and how you lead, this conversation offers a clear and practical perspective.
