Investing With Your Core Values in Mind

Most of us live our lives, trying to incorporate our core life values into the everyday decisions we make, and most of us are pretty successful at this. Then, suddenly, you have a source of new wealth - it could be from an inheritance, a sale of a business or real estate, maybe the lottery -  and you’re in a quandary about the right way to invest it.  Our next guest says that this is a good time to see if that newfound money can be put to work into investments that do indeed reflect your core values.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
