My guest today is Terry McGuire, a long time friend, partner and portfolio manager at Dividend Growth Partners. In our conversation today, we discuss the appreciation Terry gained from a migrant childhood and the friends he discovered along the way. Despite struggling with dyslexia, he was able to overcome the challenges it presented and go on to major in both rhetoric and economics. He also shares valuable lessons he learned from his first major investment loss in high yield bonds, and we delve into the world of dividend investing.
