Bob Doll, longtime investment manager and current CEO/CIO at Crossmark Global Investments, joins the show for a deep dive into markets, faith, and leadership. With a career spanning Merrill Lynch, BlackRock, Nuveen, and now a faith-based investing firm, Bob shares how he integrates values into portfolio management. He unpacks his quantitative approach to stock picking, reflects on getting “canceled” at BlackRock for his faith, and offers practical wisdom for young professionals looking to align purpose with profession. It’s equal parts investment strategy and professional guidance.
