Jeff Martinovich - Why perseverance and resilience matter
Jeff Martinovich served his country during The First Gulf War at Tactical Air Command Headquarters, Langley, Virginia then pursued a second career in financial services, Jeff was Founder and CEO of MICG Investment Management, a nationally recognised, billion dollar wealth management firm.
Following the 2008 Financial Crisis, MICG’s proprietary hedge funds experienced regulatory scrutiny and allegations. As CEO, Jeff vigorously defended his firm, refusing multiple settlement offers and instead choosing to defend his employees and himself in federal court. In a bizarre narrative, Jeff was convicted and sentenced to 14-years in federal prison. His case was reversed twice by the Court of Appeals. Two separate U.S. District Court Judges were removed, and his successful federal suit uncovered fraud and collusion holding him at a higher-security, violent prison. In May 2020, after nearly 7 years, Jeff was released to home confinement and began his journey of rebuilding, restoring and turning disadvantages into advantages. In this podcast:
Jeff talks about the problems that led to him being sent to prison

How perseverance and resilience helped him get stronger
