Athlete, attorney, author…. and my husband. Stu Grimson details how hard work and education helped drive him to create a career in the NHL for 14 years and then to pivot when he retired at 37. In the NHL, he was regarded as one of the fiercest enforcers that earned him the nickname “The Grim Reaper”. We talk about Money Culture, dating in midlife, developing skills to serve you, and how to speak to your partner about money.
