On this episode of “The Power of the Ask,” financial services veteran Tina Powell joins co-hosts Lisa and Precious for an inspiring conversation about her personal and professional journey. Tina is the Chief of Community at Intention.ly, a growth engine design firm transforming the way fintech and finserv organizations approach growth, and the founder and former CEO of C-Suite Social Media.

Growing up, Tina watched her single mother juggle two jobs to make ends meet, which inspired her to pursue her own financial empowerment through education and a career in wealth management. She credits her aunt, an estate planning attorney and the first in her family to earn a law degree, with setting an early example of what she could become in spite of her family’s financial instability. Tina also touches on the positive impact of male allies in an industry like financial services, and emphasizes her passion for building community through her work.

Tina also opens up about her recent battle with stage four lung cancer, stressing the importance of seeking help and support in dealing with life’s challenges, whether they’re health related, financial, or personal, and shares her approach to mindfulness and staying present during difficult times.

During the episode, Tina:

• Offers guidance and inspiration for those experiencing challenges, particularly to seek help and build community
• Shares her approach to remaining mindful and present during difficult times
• Emphasizes the power of the ask: “If you don’t ask, you don’t get”

Throughout the episode, Tina’s passion for her work at Intention.ly and empowering the next generation of financial services talent shines through. She draws inspiration from seeing young professionals succeed and from witnessing the positive impact of her work on others.
