Join your host, Syama Bunten as she talks with India Gary-Martin, the former CTO & COO of international banking operations spanning 40 countries. India is also a trusted advisor to Fortune 100 CEOs and founders, and the visionary behind the Act Three Convening — a global gathering redefining what midlife means for women. But India's path from a Cincinnati living room learning blackjack with her stepfather to the executive floors of Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan wasn't planned — it emerged. And that emergence, she'll tell you, was the whole point.

In this conversation, India shares what 25 years in global financial services, building a beauty brand from scratch, and coaching some of the world's most senior leaders has taught her — and why the most powerful career move you'll ever make might be the one you accidentally stumble into.

Key Topics:

How to apply an abundance mindset to wealth-building
How to identify values-aligned mentors and sponsors even when they don't look like you
Why listeners who feel underpaid need to understand "total compensation" — and how one boss's correction changed India's entire financial trajectory
What it really feels like to bet everything on your own business — and what listeners can take away from India's near-bankruptcy experience
How to rebuild wealth and professional identity after a major financial setback
Why listeners in midlife are navigating more than career transitions — and what India's Act Three Convening offers as a solution
What it looks like to use your wealth intentionally — paying for college debt-free, building a home for aging parents, and investing in experiences over things
