  1. Reel Financial Planning Part 2 with CFP Dan Honsberger

    Reel Financial Planning Part 2 with CFP Dan Honsberger

    In part 2 of our series with certified financial planner and fellow fly fisherman, Dan Honsberger, we get into the nuts and bolts of planing for life.  Terms like; Wealth Management, Retirement Planning Estate Planning, Tax Planning, Education Planning, and so much more. These are things we often put off today but never correctly address tomorrow. Dan explains what each of these concepts are and why you need to think about it today to have a plan for tomorrow.  This way, when you are fishing you are fishing with a free mind and focus on the challenge of the presentation and fight of the fish. About Dan Honsberger, CFP:  With 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I've excelled in bridging the gap between the big picture and the details. I'm both a spreadsheet person and a people person. I get joy from guiding clients through the complexity of their financial lives and finding creative solutions to everyone's unique situation. I specialize in navigating complex financial situations with clarity and confidence. When partnering with a client, I invest substantial time to fully understand each client's unique goals and challenges, delivering thoughtful, tailored strategies far beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. The adage says that "money isn't everything." While true, building financial resources is critical to giving ourselves options and choices about what we can and can't do. I started Reel Financial Planning to help people take control of their finances and build the life they want to live.  I'm passionate about the outdoors, personal growth, and my community — whether it's road-tripping with my wife Kate, son Albert, and our poodle Calvin, walking my neighborhood, volunteering with Cub Scouts, or casting a line with the Fly Fishers of Virginia. I love being outside, exploring the world, and furthering my skills. Growing as an angler and hunter helps me better understand my place in the world and helps me feel more connected to my place and time. I do my best to apply these lessons to my work.  Like a skilled fishing guide showing you how to read the water, I guide clients through life's financial crossroads — from tax and investment planning to estate and education funding — with practical, customized strategies that bring clarity and peace of mind.

    Reel Financial Planning Part 1 with CFP Dan Honsberger

    When we go fishing, whether it is to local waters or a destination trip it requires a plan. The same is said for the game of life, we must have a financial plan.  Everything from how we save, how much we save, where do we put our money and how we set ourselves up for retirement.  However we cannot make the mistake that many make, which is put everything away and not enjoy life's pleasures today.  To better discuss this topic, I asked Dan Honsberger, a fellow fly fisherman a certified financial planner, to join me on Off the Hook with MattyD.  Dan discusses Livnig life today and planning for tomorrow in this must listen to 2-part series.  About Dan Honsberger, CFP: With 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I've excelled in bridging the gap between the big picture and the details.

    Fall Striper Fishing with Captains Reid Parker & Keegan Lemcke

    Fall fly fishing in Virginia is heating up and the stripers are migrating back into the Chesapeake Bay and our Tidal Rivers from the north.  This is a great time to target them in large schools.  These fish are extremely agressive and will destroy a fly presented near them.  Captains Keegan Lemcke and Reid Parker join the show to discuss the great fishery and they talk about a program that they offer called "Cast and Blast" where an avid outdoorsman can go hunting for waterfowl and target stripers all in the same outing.   Learn more about Captains Reid Parker and Keegan Lemcke at https://currentculturefly.com/ Follow them on Instagram: Reid Parker: https://www.instagram.com/reiidparker/ Keegan Lemcke https://www.instagram.com/capt.keegan.lemcke/   YOUR HOST Matt DiNado (MattyD) If you have a topic that you would like me to cover or have any comments or suggestions reach out to me: mdinardo23@gmail.com Enjoy the Show!
