We think about wealth as a finish line — hit your number and the anxiety stops. Blair duQuesnay, a financial advisor at Ritholtz Wealth Management, says it's almost never that simple. Her clients (ultra-high-net-worth families) aren't worried about running out of money. They're worried about screwing it up.
Blair talks with Chris Hill about growing up in a Southern family where money was never really discussed, transferring colleges to study finance (after starting as a dance major), and writing The Belle Curve, her newsletter on money, markets, and wealth, as well as:

• Having a front-row seat to the 2008 financial crisis while working in an office right next to Lehman Brothers

• Starting her own RIA and having to wait tables to make ends meet

• What she wishes she had understood about risk earlier in her career

• The $400 phone call she would like to take back
