Great language and make things so simple

The way they ask questions and explain complex concepts are blowing my mind. The way they do is to show clients process and understand the heart of the services that they offer. Most people only focus on products type and hardy take their mind out off it. This podcast really well explain how important it is to have a true holistic financial planning. Love the podcast!
