This guy has no idea how unhappy and unfulfilled in his professional life he was. The suit. The tie (they made me change into this one). Even the haircut. 🤦‍♂️ This was the day of a photoshoot for a Forbes award we “won” aka paid advertisement. Life is so much better now.

Unpopular opinion: The profession would benefit from smaller, specialized, niche advisory firms. I'm not a beer drinker but think craft breweries for financial advisors. More collaboration, support, and abundant mentalities would bring more and better planning to families.
