Tracy Britt shares her Lean In story. Following my instincts, taking the path less traveled, and leaning in before my career even began definitely paid off. I knew early on that I wanted to work in the investment field. In college I concentrated most of my free time on learning about finance, and I spent summers working on Wall Street.
