We started a podcast! It’s called Behind the Designs! If you have ever wondered what financial professionals have to say about economic issues, then this podcast is for you! Every other Tuesday we will share our thoughts on a relevant finance topic. You can find our podcast, wherever you can stream them, or on YouTube. Our episodes only get better, so stay tuned for episodes 2 & 3 on investing, and episode 4 on talking about finances at the holidays!
Our very first episode is “Designed for Life: Our Story.” In this very first episode, learn more about who we are…from why we love financial planning to starting our own firms to creating Financial Design Studio!
