Steady Checks, Steady Nerves: Jenny Harrington’s Case for Dividends

CNBC contributor and portfolio manager Jenny Harrington shares how she risked nearly everything by draining her IRA to build her investment firm, had a baby the day the market hit its lowest in 2009, and convinced her husband to join her with zero safety net–all during the worst financial crisis in recent history. Jenny reveals why the “boring” dividend strategy everyone overlooks kept her clients calm when the market crashed, and shares the hard-won wisdom that changed her approach to investing: it doesn't matter which strategy you choose, it matters that you can stay in it. Whether you're navigating volatile markets or making your own high-stakes career bet, this conversation will change how you think about risk, resilience, and building wealth that lasts.
