Calvin Silva knows how turn lemon into lemonade. Calvin moved from New Mexico to New York, the capital of the world, in order to attain the American Dream. He was a successful stock broker on Wall Street who was forced to transition after the Financial Crisis. He found himself in a corporate role with Thomson Reuters. However, he longed for the freedom and flexibility that business owners like his father had.
So he set off to be a financial advisor combining his passions of helping/educating others and all things finance. During the interview, you could hear the passion in Calvin's voice when it comes to these two topics. Calvin is an awesome storyteller as well. He currently works with TrueNorth Financial Solutions. He provides services to help with retirement planning, long-term savings goals, investments and risk management for individuals, business owners and their employees. He has also worked with AXA Advisors and Nasdaq. He has even been interviewed on Bloomberg TV by Trish Regan.
