Women on the Move

We salute 13 leaders making an impact on the Main Line

Self-professed financial whiz, Joslyn Ewart spent the first 21 years of her working life as an inner city music teacher. As it turns out, teaching was in her blood. Yet, despite the fact that her grandfather worked as a high school teacher for 40 years, her grandmother couldn't afford to heat her house on his pension after he passed away. "That made a big impression on me," says Ewart. "I immediately started investing in my supplemental retirement plan."

With her eye on the future, Ewart became a certified financial planner and founded the Wayne-based Entrust Financial in 2000. Today, she's a highly visible expert on money matters, with multiple TV appearances and newspaper columns to her credit. "Ultimately , surviving in any business means staying on the ball, knowing where you're going and that you can adapt when you need to," says Ewart. "And most importantly, knowing you can get up when you've been knocked down."
