Episode 110 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and this one hit close to home. My guest is Jeff Allen, a fellow KU Jayhawk who comes from a long line of doctors, was fully on the pre-med path, and then took a wild turn into Hollywood and USC film school. From there he went on to help build and sell businesses, including a streaming platform that Hallmark bought and a nutraceutical brand called True Niagen, and today he runs a marketing agency and business incubator while teaching himself stock options and trading. We talked about the leap of faith that comes with leaving a "safe" career, how the creative and scientific sides of the brain can work together, and the what-if questions we all think about from time to time.

Jeff is one of the most versatile people I've had on the show, and his story is a good reminder that your first plan doesn't have to be your final one.

If you want to connect with Jeff, he asked listeners to find him on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/jeff-allen-did-it/. Go say hi and tell him I sent you.
