InĀ episode 31, Molly's friend Mark Axelowitz takes us behind the scenes of his life journeyā€”making his way to and excelling in a Wall Street career and then (when least expected) a surprise acting career, starring opposite none other than Robert De Niro three times!Ā
When Mark was 9, his father lost the entire family savings in the stock market. All 4 kids had no choice but to work.Ā Staying home for college was the only option, taking 3 jobs: mowing lawns, packing trucks for UPS, and working in the Hofstra computer center. Hear Mark recount his early roles and never looking back after his brash foray onto Wall Street.Ā
Mark became a top financial advisor, working with many of the most successful hedge funds, private equity funds, and key players in entertainment. Married 34 years, in business with a partner he's known 43, relationships have been Mark's bedrock, as has serving his community.
