EDDIE BROWN: Well, Shannon, thank you so much for being here with us today. Shannon, I'd love to hear a little bit about your story and the career and experience you've had, and what's led you to your role today.
SHANNON KENNEDY: Sure. Thanks for asking, Eddie. I've been in the business for 35 years, all in the ultra-high net worth space. I, actually, wanted to go into medicine helping people. But I was a nanny in New York City, went to Wall Street, and it was like the angels in heaven went, 'Woo, go into finance.' And so I worked at a Chicago-based large trust company for many years, working with mostly single family offices, billionaire families. And then moved to Southern California, to Newport Beach, and more in the high-net worth-space, so more of a community type bank. And then moved to BMO Family Office a couple of years ago, which is super exciting for me because it has two different platforms, both the RIA, but I'm a boutique in a very large enterprise-wide institution. So great experience, lots of wisdom.
