How Grove Founder is Making Online Financial Advisory Easier than Ever with Chris Hutchins

Like many people, Chris Hutchins was laid off during the financial crisis of 2008. However, instead of simply looking for work, he set out to make a name for himself. He founded LaidOffCamp, where others like him explored founding companies, freelancing, and new ways to find jobs during that tough time. Next, he co-founded Milk, which was acquired by Google Ventures, where he spent three years investing in early stage companies. Now, as the founder of Grove, he’s on a mission to build the first comprehensive financial planning service that is accessible and affordable for young professionals. Today, Chris joins the podcast to share the story of how he went from being laid off, to the CEO and founder of Grove. We also discuss how he discovered the transformative power of edtech, and how he's making it easier than ever to get honest, real advice in the financial field.    Get Today's Show Notes!
