Scott Belsky is the Founder of Behance, the Chief Product Officer over at Adobe, an author, and quite a bit more. He’s a busy guy. Looking at his earliest pursuits, which are shared a lot in his book The Messy Middle, Behance was once a small startup trying to stay afloat.

This was a great book and I want to tell you about the author and why you should listen to him. Sten was a successful Financial Advisor at Raymond James but, at 25, he decided to start his own Financial Planning firm called “Legacy Investment Planning.” In just five years, he acquired $120mm in assets. Most people in this industry don’t reach those numbers until they have been in the business 15-20 years, and there are even more who never reach that amount their entire careers.
