-
- Parenting
Today's guest is Dennis McNamara
We go deep talking about:
The fundamental principles of money, wealth and investmentsHow to make the most of what you have now to set a future plan for you and your familyFinding a balance between time, money and healthWhy it's really important to be in a men's group with other dadsBeing confident, living with intention and having a more deeper and more engaged relationship with those around youThe importance of emergency fund
Dennis McNamara is a dad to a three year old, a husband to his college sweetheart, and a comprehensive financial planner at, and co-founder of, wHealth (pronounced “wealth”) Advisors in Red Bank, NJ.
After graduating university in 2011 Dennis was teetering on a mental and emotional breakdown. With $7,000 to his name, Dennis spent a year exchanging his physical labor for a roof over his head on permaculture farms in Portugal and Costa Rica. After learning more about himself through these experiences he dedicated himself to rigorously pursuing purposeful work instead of job titles.
Since then, he’s been the US Director of Business Development at a social enterprise firm, a financial analyst at the private wealth management arm of Goldman Sachs, and most recently – in 2019 – made the leap to establish his own financial planning firm – wHealth Advisors.
Dennis has been mentioned in Forbes, US News & World Report, and Financial Advisor Magazine. He holds the financial designations of Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF), and is a Certified Student Loan Professional (CSLP).
Outside of wHealth Advisors he is passionate about compounding healthy habits so that he can show up as the best version of himself - whether that be as a parent, a partner, or a professional.
You can follow along his Instagram @thewhealthadvisor or find more about the work he does with wHealth Advisors at whealthfa.com. There, you can also subscribe to his monthly newsletter which is as much about finances as it is about wellness, personal optimization, and taking meaningful steps to upgrading your life.

Welcome to the Dad.Work Podcast!
It's my goal every episode to help dads suffer less, love more, and parent confidently.
We'll be diving into mindfulness practices, healing trauma, conscious parenting, natural living, compassionate communication, the spiritual aspect of fatherhood, and more.
There are a lot of amazing teachers and guides who help men become more aware and conscious, but there's not a lot of resources for men who are both fathers and interested in a mindful exploration of consciousness and improvement.
This podcast aims to help bridge that gap.
