\n\"\"Brayden Olson feels pretty blessed to have been raised in the Wood River Valley, especially now that he\u2019s beginning his professional career.
\n\u201cI was extremely lucky to grow up here,\u201d said Brayden, who\u2019s a whitewater kayak enthusiast. \u201cThe access to recreation here propelled all my passions in life and I had a ton of great mentors, in sports and school especially, that had really positive impacts on me.\u201d
\nBrayden moved to Hailey when he was just 2 when his dad, Chet, took a job teaching at Wood River High School. Over 20 years later, his father is still teaching computer, multimedia and video productions, while Brayden is a proud Wolverine grad.
\nAfter serving a mission in Ghana, Brayden returned to Idaho. He completed a Bachelor\u2019s in Finance at Boise State (BSU) in just three years and right after graduation Brayden took the \u201cvery tough\u201d Series 65 Investment Advisor Exams.
\nBrayden\u2019s journey to the financial world began here in the Wood River Valley. He credits his former high school teachers, Bill Petzke and Lisa Hoskins, amongst others, for their guidance and mentorship. But the first big bump in the compass of Brayden\u2019s career path came when he served an internship with his grandfather, a commercial real estate investor based out of Salt Lake City.
\n\u201cI learned a lot about real estate finance and got my real estate license,\u201d Brayden said. \u201cBut I found it kind of boring. I wanted to do something that had more person-to-person interactions and I realized that I needed a more formal education to be as knowledgeable as possible.\u201d
\nThat led Brayden to BSU, which led to another impactful intersection in his life\u2019s journey. Brayden worked for BSU as an outdoor guide for students. During a trip through the Lost Coast of California, Brayden met another Idahoan named Heather and the rest, as they say, is history, as they are now happily married.
\nBrayden enrolled in the Entrepreneurship Program while studying at BSU. This led him to team up with his brother and dad to found Aquafur, which sells coldwater gear, like drysuits for kayakers. It seemed a natural business product for Brayden, since he also founded the BSU Kayak Club. The Hailey-based small business is still going strong and growing.
\nThe other big bridge that Brayden crossed during his career path was when he took a college internship with Madison Poole financial planners. It led to a job offer after graduation. Founded in 1987, Madison Poole has become one of the most trusted advisory groups in the Treasure Valley. They have over 2,500 clients of all levels.
\n\u201cWhat I like about working at Madison Poole is that they offer a lot of great guidance, help and mentorship. It\u2019s an environment where you can bring big questions and get expert, experienced guidance,\u201d Brayden said. \u201cWhat I also really like is that we\u2019re financial advisors for the everyday working class. We\u2019re here to help everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
