Let’s talk religion & politics!


Hello Reader,

I’m not religious.

I don’t go to church.

I suppose I might consider myself spiritual – but some days I‘m not even so sure about that. 😆

If anything, life experiences have taught me to wary of religion. (A story for another time.)

And yet some of the closest friends I’ve made in the last few years ARE deeply religious.

I’ve found them to be some of the kindest, most accepting, supportive and thoughtful folks I know.

Which is why I’m excited to be both sponsoring and speaking at the Wise Practice Summit this October 3-5th in Charlotte, NC.

If you consider faith to be a part of how you run your practice, this conference might be just the opportunity for you!

Your personal values are essential in defining the right business plan AND financial plan for you. And if your faith is important to you, it almost certainly should be integrated into how you build your practice, how you structure your financial plan and how you invest your money.

If you register by March 1st (this Friday!!) you will save $100 off your registration. ⏰

This event is hosted by my friend Whitney Owens who specializes in throwing a fun and informative summit.

She has also been known to rap when opening her events, so you don’t want to miss out. (Yes, this is for serious.)

(I know I didn’t get around to talking politics; that’s probably coming later this year. 😬)

Best,
Dave

The summit is at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, located in the heart of Charlotte's business district. The Argentinian-influenced Marriott hotel rooms and luxury amenities aren't the only thing that drew me to this hotel. The art and cultural design elements make it one of a kind. Not to mention, the restaurants in and around this hotel are electric.

Hello Reader, Well, it’s been an interesting start to the year here in Los Angeles – to say the least. The wildfires that have decimated several neighborhoods here have impacted pretty much every Angeleno (yes, that’s what we’re called) in some way. We ended up evacuating last week – and while our neighborhood ended up being relatively unscathed, save the lingering air quality issues – it was nonetheless jarring. Of course the events are tragic and my heart goes out to those who have lost so...

Hello Reader, I hope you’re enjoying your holiday season! I realize it’s painfully cliche – but how is it possible that this year is almost over?! For me, the year has really flown by. Time flying isn’t necessarily a bad thing… but it has prompted me to reflect on how I’m using that time. What’s truly important to me? What activities do I want to spend more time doing? What things do I want to spend less of my limited time and energy on? I’m not huge on new year’s resolutions, but I do want...

Hi Reader, It’s a time of year many of us will be getting together with loved ones we don’t see that often. Which makes it a great time to consider whether your beneficiary designations are up-to-date! What is a beneficiary designation? 🤔 A beneficiary designation designates who should get your account assets if you pass away. That person is the beneficiary of your account. Usually you can just fill out a form online through your financial institution. By doing so, you are creating a...
