“Quite frankly, like with most of the opportunities that I get, they just found me. They found me through social media and the content I was developing. So, I have been very fortunate that most of the clients that when I started the RIA and a lot of the speaking and brand opportunities have come inbound. Meaning I don’t really pitch. Right when I started this RIA it was very clear – I don’t want to cold call all day. I just want to create content and have people come to me.”

“I never thought of it as a sacrifice because to me it was an opportunity to learn. That was time well invested. I didn’t need to make money when I was 20 years old – I worked at night and paid my bills that way and during the day went and learned. So, nothing along the way seemed like a sacrifice. It just seemed like a journey and it’s been a lot of fun. There was no destination except to try and get better every day.”
