Show Notes

Markets are down, inflation is high, and many are expecting a recession. 

Are you ready? 

Many of us know we need to get our finances in order, but the chaos of everyday life pushes it to the bottom of our to-do list. But here’s the thing… 

You’ve come too far to be stressed by money. 

If this year you are considering hiring a financial advisor or wealth manager, I want you to go into the process with confidence and clarity. You need to know what to look for, how to understand their credentials, and the exact questions to ask during the process. 

To do that, I’m sharing a top episode we aired last year, Episode 28: How To Interview An Advisor.

If you want to approach hiring an advisor with a clear, well-thought-out process so you can find an excellent fit, this episode is a great place to start. 

And, if you decide it is time to get help with your financial planning and investments, I’m here to help.

Enjoy this great rewind!
