A must listen for advisors

This may be the most insightful and helpful podcast for advisors. There are others out there that are good, but they tend to be somewhat dogmatic and can often go on much too long. These two outstanding professionals come at the profession from very different perspectives, but I learn something I can use in almost every podcast. I can’t thank them enough for what they give to me as an advisor who is always looking to improve what I do for clients.

Great podcast, especially for a new financial advisor

I found this podcast to be very helpful as I continue growing my practice, especially after coming from an institutional background. A couple of months ago, I started with the first episode and listened to every single one on my daily walk. Now I have to wait 2 weeks for a new one!
