When you visit the Collective Wealth Partners website their vision is bold and purposeful, “ a wealth management firm dedicated to supporting the creation of wealth for Black and other resilient communities
When you meet Shardea Ages she exudes those same qualities. She graduated from Florida A&M University and started her career in finance during the “Great Recession” of 2008. Financial services have few persons of color and few women. Finding a woman of color, business owner, and CFP is almost unheard of.
After years of assimilating at big banks and insurance companies, Shardea discovered that her expertise was needed by someone who looked and sounded just like her.
Her determination was necessary from the beginning. Her path was long and winding. Others would have given up but this Detroit native persevered. In the end and along with two partners (also women of color), she founded her firm in 2021.
Now residing in Atlanta, Georgia her firm assists African American families with wealth management, insurance needs, retirement planning, and more. We learned that being true to your authentic self is so important in finding success, fulfillment, and joy in your career.
Join us as we follow the journey of Shardea Ages, CFP on Journey: The Financial Advisor Experience. Please tune in to Journey: The Financial Advisor Experience with your hosts Garland Scott, CIMA®, Grier Rubeling & ED Dudley to hear and learn from our wonderful special guest, Shardea Ages.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
