#199 From Wall Street to Wonder: Katie Curry’s Playbook for Risk, Resilience & Reinvention — Part Two

  • Summary

  • Katie Curry isn’t just fluent in the language of risk; she’s turned it into an art form.

    She has made a career out of calculated risks, pivoting from Bulgaria to Wall Street, from finance to creativity, and from spreadsheets to salsa dancing. Whether managing analysts, mentoring future leaders, or convincing her kids that Excel is “basically magic,” she’s proof that resilience is more than just a corporate buzzword—it’s a career cheat code.

    In Part Two, Katie Curry breaks down the Gen Z effect—at home as a parent and at work as a leader. Turns out, Gen Z isn’t just about memes and dance challenges; they demand meritocracy, speed, and brutal honesty. Katie embraces their no-nonsense approach while picking up a few lessons herself (hint: “reverse mentoring” is real).

    Key Highlights of Our Interview:

    Raising Gen Z Insights

    “As a mother of two Gen Z kids, I’ve learned patience, adaptability, and the art of balancing guidance with independence—lessons that translate directly into leading younger teams.”

    A Shift Toward Meritocracy

    “Gen Z values meritocracy over hierarchy. Companies that embrace authenticity, clarity, and speed in execution will thrive. Those that cling to old models risk losing their edge.”

    The Power of Reverse Mentorship

    “I love working with Gen Z. They’ve taught me more than I could have imagined through reverse mentorship. It’s a two-way street—I share wisdom; they share fresh insights.”

    Finding Your Superpower

    “Success starts with understanding your strengths. If you don’t know them yet, that’s fine—it’s a process. Focus on gaining skills and developing your unique superpower.”

    The Power of Community

    “Surround yourself with a diverse community—different generations, experiences, and viewpoints. It makes life richer and challenges you to think beyond your natural boundaries.”
