The Contrarian Playbook: An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Thinking Differently

Entrepreneurs are often told to follow best practices—but the most successful founders know that real breakthroughs often come from challenging conventional wisdom. In The Contrarian Playbook, Frederick E. Hubler Jr., CEO and Chief Wealth Strategist of Creative Capital Wealth Management Group, shares how thinking differently can unlock new opportunities for growth, leadership, and impact.

 

A 25-year veteran across finance and technology, Fred built a nationally recognized wealth management firm serving clients in more than 25 states. Through innovative ideas—like pioneering a retainer-based model in wealth management and expanding access to accredited investment opportunities—he has demonstrated how challenging the status quo can reshape an industry. His insights on markets and entrepreneurship have been featured in major outlets including The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, and Forbes.  Fred will also be releasing a book on being a contrarian, and will share his true experience – from leadership in his business and industry, to non profit board service. Fred’s track record is an impressive one, and we look forward to hearing his ideas live within this intimate setting.

 

In this conversation, Fred will explore why contrarian thinking is often the entrepreneur’s greatest advantage. Attendees will gain perspective on recognizing opportunities others miss, making bold decisions in uncertain markets, and building businesses that stand apart rather than blend in.
