ABOUT THE EVENT

PART 2 OF 3-PART SERIES

Entrepreneurial thinking isn’t reserved for founders. In this fireside-style conversation, Frederick E. Hubler, Jr., MBA, CWS®, CEO and Chief Wealth Strategist of Creative Capital Wealth Management Group, will explore how professionals at any stage of their career can challenge conventional thinking and lead with an ownership mindset—no title required.

A 25-year veteran of finance and technology, Fred built a nationally recognized wealth management firm operating across more than 25 states, known for its innovative retainer-based model and forward-looking approach to investing. Along the way, he has become a trusted voice on markets and the economy, with commentary 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 The Contrarian Playbook: Leading From Any Seat, Fred will share insights from his entrepreneurial journey and discuss how employees, emerging leaders, and professionals working within organizations can adopt the mindset of builders—questioning assumptions, spotting opportunity, and creating value wherever they sit.
