Lisa: Yeah, what I’ll tell you, Michael, is similar to Ahtis. And when you think of your experiences, where did you come from, Lisa? What are your experiences, especially as you kind of connect it to this idea of leading a diverse customer segments strategy? Michael: Well, Ahtis, thank you for sharing that. Money was important and always something that was scarce. Michael: And is that to keep the lights on? Or was that to buy fancy clothes? What do you mean you needed more of it?Īhtis: It was to keep the roof over our heads, to keep our clothes on our backs, food on the table, just the basics. Give us a few highlights of what you knew about money growing up.Īhtis: Well, what I knew about money was it was important to have. Michael: So tell us what you knew growing up, then. And that drives me every day to show our customers alongside them that it is possible to achieve their goals, financial goals, and to move forward for their families and their futures. But mostly because I want others to know that it is possible to move your experience beyond what you knew growing up. And I’m proud to lead the segment strategy for a number of reasons.

And I developed my career in banking over the course of over 20 years. And I started out a young girl growing up in Brooklyn, New York, pretty humble beginnings. Let me kick it off, then by asking you, Ahtis, where did you come from? What are your experiences as you’ve emerged as a human being?Īhtis: Well, for me, it’s deeply personal. And I’m so excited to be speaking with both of them because they’re going to help us answer the question today, how do our experiences impact or affect our money decisions?Īnd so Lisa, Ahtis, I’m so happy to have you on the Wells Fargo About Money podcast.
