Angela Epley has benefited from her father’s financial wisdom and guidance her entire life, even when she was too young to fully appreciate or even heed his advice. Drawn to literature and the performing arts from a young age, she majored in philosophy during her liberal arts undergraduate studies at Colorado College in Colorado Springs.

Upon graduation, Angela leveraged her natural writing talents as a copywriter, social media manager, and content manager in various industries ranging from tech startups to marketing agencies to established retail corporations. After a decade working as a professional wordsmith, she grew intellectually restless and noticed many of her colleagues and peers — though gifted in their own professional niche — still struggled to navigate their own personal finances.

Ready for a change, she began looking into the Certified Financial Planner certification as a way to formally study personal finance and launch into a career that positioned her to make a meaningful positive impact on individuals and families. Angela’s unique background as a younger biracial woman has helped distinguish her in an industry dominated by an overwhelmingly older Caucasian male demographic.

In addition to partnering with her father to produce the Blue Jeans Millionaire library of books, Angela serves clients through her financial advisory practice based in Austin, TX while maintaining a salaried position as a Content Strategist and professional wordsmith. In her spare time, she enjoys riding her 125cc scooter, spending time with her husband and pets, performing improvisational comedy, and has recently completed a 200-hour yoga teacher certification.
