Walter Storholt:
Well, here on the show, we often talk about what it's like to become a client, but today we're going to talk about what it's like to be a client.

Tony, before we dive into the topic today, everything going okay with you?
Tony Mauro:
It's going good for us, just got back into town from a family wedding, and yeah, still tackling fall, so everything's good.
Walter Storholt:
Nice. Where was the wedding?
Tony Mauro:
It's actually over in Chicago.
Walter Storholt:
Nice. Good trip to the city?
Tony Mauro:
It was. I don't get over there very much for as close as we are, but there's a lot of stuff to do, a lot of stuff to eat, and all that, so yeah, it's always a good time.
Walter Storholt:
Did you get down to the riverfront or down to the lakefront at all?
Tony Mauro:
We did, we went down to, familiar with the Navy Pier area.
Walter Storholt:
Yeah.
Tony Mauro:
We were there a little bit, and then kind of walked around downtown a little bit. It's spent a long time since I had a good old-fashioned deep dish pizzas, so we had a little of that.
Walter Storholt:
I was going to say. Who did you use, was it Lou Malnati's or what's the other one-
Tony Mauro:
Yes, it was whatever that one is. It was highly ranked, so we thought, well, we'll go try it, and it was very good.
Walter Storholt:
Yeah, it's hard to beat a meat pie, right?
Tony Mauro:
That's right.
Walter Storholt:
Pretty good stuff. One of my favorite things ever was doing the river tour, the riverboat tour in Chicago, just the architecture tour from the boats, I think it's just one of the-
Tony Mauro:
I've never done that. Yeah, but that sounds good.
Walter Storholt:
Oh, you got to do it. Next time you're in the city, just do the riverboat tour, the architecture tour, and they take you all up through the river, and they point out all of this just fascinating information, all about the architecture of all the buildings right there along the river front. And it's a fun ride, they put on a great show, lots of amazing information. Every time I've gone to Chicago, I've done the tour, so.
Tony Mauro:
I'll have to do that. Yeah.
Walter Storholt:
It's really cool. I think you can pick it up right there from Navy Pier too, so you hop on the boats that are right there, they take you right through, and just easy.
Tony Mauro:
Cool.
Walter Storholt:
Very cool.
Tony Mauro:
Yeah.
Walter Storholt:
I would do it when the weather is warm. It'd probably be a little brutal in the colder temperatures, but good summer activity for sure. Well, let's dive into our conversation today, Tony, what it's really like to be a client of a financial advisor. So, again, a lot of our focus is on becoming a client, but let's talk about once we've turned that page and we are a client, set some expectations for folks, what's that relationship then going to look like beyond just the first couple of visits and meetings? So, when somebody's been a client for many years and they already have a solid retirement plan in place, what are your discussions look like when you get together for periodic reviews, and how often do those happen? Take us under the hood, if you will.
Tony Mauro:
Sure. Well, normally, depending on the client's situation, how complex it is, and really whether they're in the... I try to divide it up into two main areas. You're either in the accumulation stag

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
