I’m becoming a Financial Advisor

05/12/2022

Slelonek

These guys have been absolutely amazing in helping me understand the stock market and investing world! I recently got an entry level job at an advisory firm, and have zero background about this kind of stuff. My company is paying for me to get licensed as a Financial Advisor, and the class is shockingly difficult. Listening to this podcast has helped me so much with getting a base-level of understanding so that I can actually follow what’s going on in my class. I always use the phrase “explain it to me like I’m 5 years old” when I’m learning something new, and I feel like Wren and Bryce do an amazing job of explaining complex things in a way that I can understand. Thank you guys, and keep this podcast going please!!
Good stuff!
