Lay of The Land Podcast: Chaya Slain - Dare To Be Different, Dare To Be Great
Chaya recently joined Jeffrey Stern on the Lay of The Land podcast to share her investing journey and philosophy. The conversation traces Chaya’s journey from Wall Street to Cleveland; her early entrepreneurial spark running a deli during her time at Columbia University; the leap from investor to founder; and the empathy and insight that transition has given her when evaluating other entrepreneurs and investment managers. They explore behavioral discipline, portfolio construction in uncertain markets, long-term thinking, and what it means to build with integrity, excellence, and a true sense of stewardship.
