What is a Recession and Why a Recession Matters

Walkner Condon Financial Advisors

We have experienced quite a start to the year. The equity markets have had a difficult start to 2022, with the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial, and NASDAQ all seeing double-digit losses.

What does a financial advisor do? (day in the life of a financial advisor)

Sara Grillo

This isn’t some made up crap because I want to sell on something. Here are real accounts of what a day in the life of a financial advisor entails, from real professional financial advisors. Why I wrote this blog. Why did I find it necessary to write about the day in the life of a financial advisor?

Building a Culture That Will Win the Battle for Talent With Brian Kropp

Steve Sanduski

In a Nutshell: Mastering the “soft stuff” isn’t just the hard part about building a dynamic culture — it’s the best part. The companies that are winning the ongoing battle for top talent have absolute clarity on their values, morals, ethics, commitment to diversity and inclusivity, and performance standards. And they use that clarity to create a culture by design, not by default, that the brightest and the best want to be a part of.
