THE Best

This is the best podcast out there if you are a financial advisor. Period. And I listen to pretty much all of them out there. I don’t re-listen to podcasts and I have listened to several of these episodes 2 or 3 times. The Michael Kitces podcast has finally been dethroned. Bradley Kolowski, CFP

Jamie’s episiotomy

I love Jaime’s episodes. I’ve been in the business over thirty years and she fires me up. My only constructive feedback and I am likely the lone voice is why does she continually need to drop the “sh…” bomb. I cringe and roll my eyes every time. For one who inspires us to strive for perfection, why does she slump to vulgarity. Is she that vulgar with clients? Is it that hard to take the extra thought and effort to craft positive strong persuasive language without sounding like a bunch of middle school boys on the street corner?

Someone once said “vulgarity is the effort of a weak mind trying to express itself “

The constant “sh…” doesn’t sound strong. It sounds weak and diminishes your message

My two cents , love all :)
