‘What Dewey Do?’ – Welcomes Jessica Korda

The CEO/CIO of Great Lakes Wealth, Dewey D. Steffen, has teamed up with WWJ midday news anchor, Brooke Allen, for Season 2 of “What Dewey Do?” Every other Wednesday, a new 30–45-minute podcast is released to all major streaming platforms. One episode each month breaks down and focuses on a hot topic in the financial industry, and the other introduces listeners to a leader in the community.

June 29th, Dewey, and Brooke introduce their listeners to Jessica Korda.

At 29 years old, Jessica has had an impressive LPGA career thus far. She has won 6 times, competed in 3 Solheim Cups and cracking the Top-10 in the World Rankings. She is a regular contender each time she tees it up and is considered one of the best Americans on tour. Some of Jessica’s athletic background can be attributed to her family. “I love what I do and I think I have one of the best jobs out there, says Jessica Korda. “It's nice to see younger girls - and boys - pick up the game of golf. It's one of the sports that you can play with literally anybody. They don't have to be good, or you can be great. You can play with your whole family.”

Her parents, Petr and Regina were both international tennis stars. Her father, Petr, won the 1998 Australian Open singles title (major) and was ranked as high as #2 in the world. Her mother, Regina, was also a top tennis player, having won 2 ITF titles and competed in the Summer Olympics. Additionally, her sister, Nelly and brother, Sebastian are both professional athletes as well. Nelly is a top ranked LPGA golfer and Sebastian is a professional tennis player.

Jessica’s Career Highlights were just some of the topics because years ago Dewey had met Jessica early in her career.
