In the twelfth episode of The Idealists (formerly Grit & Grace), host Melissa interviews Katie Kalvoda, hedge fund dynamo turned political activist. Early in her career, Katie founded Newport Wealth Management, investing in hedge funds, and after retiring founded Asian Americans Rising, a political action committee specializing in innovative philanthropy and community advocacy. In this episode, she tells us the difference between a scarcity and abundance mindset and what it means to think beyond limitations.

“Oftentimes people go into business and they are catalyzed by an opportunity… but when they get into the day-to-day operations, they begin to doubt. This mindset handicaps us and it handicaps women, in particular.”
