From Busy To Rich
Most financial advisors are stuck in the grind – busy chasing growth, but barely coming up for air. From Busy To Rich is the podcast that flips the script. Hosted by Wes Young with co-host Justin Lakin, this show is for advisors who want to do more than just build a business; they want to design a life of freedom, purpose, and impact. Each episode dives into the real strategies, mindset shifts, and unfiltered conversations that help you build a practice and a life you don’t want to retire from. If you’re ready to break free from the daily grind and start living on your terms, you’re in the right place.
