Скачать или смотреть Stephen White: Why Most Financial Marketing Is Broken

In this episode of The Blunt Dollar, I sit down with Stephen White, co-founder of Markets Recon and former marketing lead at BlackRock and eVestment, to unpack nearly two decades of insights from the intersection of finance, strategy, and storytelling.

From launching billion-dollar investment strategies to now building a tech platform that reimagines how allocators absorb research, Stephen brings a fresh, human take on everything from investing for beginners to fintech innovation. This conversation goes deep into what it really means to work in finance with integrity, purpose, and an eye toward broader impact.

We talk about:

💡 The hidden role of storytelling in financial education, and why English Lit majors might be the next big thing

🚀 What it's really like inside BlackRock: strategy, politics, layoffs, and long-term vision

📊 Why active management isn’t just about alpha. It’s about self improvement and developing your own philosophy of investing

🌍 The tension between democratizing personal finance and solving rich people's problems, a modern paradox in the stock market era

🎙️ How marketing in finance is shifting from press releases to podcast mics and personal brands, the same transformation you see in make money online culture and creators who merge storytelling with quantitative finance ideas

If you're into fintech, asset management strategy, and the human side of markets, this one's for you. Whether you’re exploring how to make money, learning about dividend investing, or just understanding how the stock market for beginners really works.
