I have worked for some of the largest companies in the world (General Electric for 15+ years across 5 continents) and have been a board advisor to startups with a few employees that have gone on to obtain Fortune 100 companies as clients.  I have seen many paths and time horizons to financial stability and can share what I have observed in a few areas specifically in a time where people are struggling with remote work to return to offices turning the "work/life" balance and or priorities upside down. While they are also trying build wealth to gain financial security while they pursue professional careers:

Talking Points
1) Work life balance - How to navigate in today's environment
2) Wealth building - What is reasonable time horizon (overnight?), How to think about generating passive income, keys to investing
