Episode 6: From Howard Stern's Studio to Wall Street — with Mitch Slater

What do you get when you combine a college radio intern, Howard Stern's first morning at DC 101, a stint producing for Larry King, 312 Bruce Springsteen concerts, and a career pivot into wealth management? You get Mitch Slater — and one of the most entertaining conversations we've ever had on Reverb.

In this episode, Gary and Todd sit down with Mitch to trace a journey that defies every conventional career script. Mitch didn't take a business class in college. He had the lowest math SAT scores in New Jersey history (his words). But he had something Larry King told him was worth more than any degree: the ability to communicate, handle rejection, and truly listen.

What we cover:

• The morning Howard Stern walked into DC 101 — and why Mitch was the only one there
• What it was like to produce Larry King's late-night radio show at 21
• The lesson that shaped Mitch's entire career: "You never learn anything with your mouth open"
• 312 Springsteen concerts, and what a true passion looks like
• The unexpected connection between entertainment skills and financial advising
• Advice for college graduates and career changers: don't worry about your 20s
