Ready for a masterclass in resilience? In this candid conversation, Hosts Living Not So Fabulously, David & John Auten-Schneider, speak with trailblazer Executive Vice President and head of Wells Fargo's Commercial Banking Diverse Segments, Ruth Jacks. She shares her remarkable journey of overcoming extreme poverty and societal challenges as a queer, Black woman, to ascend the corporate ladder over an inspiring 40-year career. Jacks opens up about her childhood struggles, the scarcity mindset, and how she turned financial hardship into a driving force for success. "Those were the biggest drivers for me. So when I say I didn't wanna be poor, it was that I didn't want to be hungry," she explained. And though no child deserves to have those thoughts, Jacks knew that she needed a plan: "I needed to educate myself. And so I read a lot. That was one of the things that I was in the library literally every day and every weekend...I do believe that financial literacy is critically important." Jack's valuable insights on financial literacy, mental health, and having a solid support network remind us that success is about knowledge, authenticity, and courage. She challenges the scarcity mindset and proves the power of having a plan. Don’t just watch or listen—take Jack's wisdom, own your journey, and start building the life you deserve.
