Tune in to hear:
- Carl Richards speak about serving real financial advisors. This of course presupposes the existence of fake financial advisors, so what’s the difference between a real financial advisor and a fake financial advisor?
- What practical advice can help one avoid a financial advisor that doesn’t have your best interests at heart?
- How do we help clients articulate powerful goals that are salient and motivating without falling prey to this trip of false precision?How do we begin to see ourselves as we truly are, allowing us to become better financial advisors?
- We have a tendency as a culture to always move the goalpost on what is enough – what can we do to cultivate a spirit of knowing when we have enough?
- How might we look at asset classes like cryptocurrencies and NFTs through a behavioral finance lens
