Same time I saw many of their challenges through each stage of ownership. I love helping business owners and consultants bridge their investments and behavior in alignment with their prioritized goals and intent. Working at an institutional asset manager and broker dealer allowed me to spend countless hours with amazing financial professionals (advisors, portfolio managers, economists and strategists). There is alot to learn in good times, and even more to learn in challenging times.
