I decided to do something a little different and talk to a marketer about how financial planners should acquire new business. I enjoy being different and getting rid of the suite and sales stigma that comes with financial planning. The days of seminars and dinners are long gone.
This interview is with Corey Keating. He is the founder of the Marketers Company and has many years of experience marketing for financial planners.
We talk...
The big question: “Where are we headed?”
A very educational 30 minute back and forth about the current state of the economy and possible factors to affect a continuing recovery.
Here are some questions we discuss:
Sid and I talk about getting started as financial advisors. We also discuss life outside of the office and how we met on LinkedIn. This episode has some fun stories mixed in with business strategy for young advisors.
Stephen has an extensive background in sales. We met as professionals on LinkedIn where he shares a lot of great content around sales and mindset. I have gotten a lot of value out of following along so I was excited when he agree to do this podcast. It is about 40 minutes but well worth it as you will learn about his story in sales and his nuggets of wisdom to stay mentally strong during such a tough career.
Recently I was lucky enough to do a podcast interview with one of them - Christine Teh:
🎙”Building Your Relationship with Money”
Christine is well known on LinkedIn, but if you haven’t had a chance to connect with her - I recommend it.
You will learn a lot just by following her. She is a financial coach, tax strategist and LinkedIn coach. I always appreciate her positive attitude and spiritual views that you can feel from her v...
'PARENTING PROFESSIONALS OF LINKEDIN'
I met Lisa Goldkuhl on #linkedin during the lockdown. I noticed one of her posts speaking about what it was like to be a mother and I told a story about an experience I had as a parent.
Long story short, I walked in and out of a grocery store multiple times holding my daughter looking for my car keys...which were around my neck the whole time.
Lisa is a real breath of fresh air for LinkedIn as ...

The importance of protecting your income in this episode where we discuss the basics and importance of disability insurance. Insurance is never a fun thing to think about - you either have to think about yourself getting hurt or dying. It is important to plan properly and to protect yourself and your family. This coronavirus is a good reminder that most of the time we use disability insurance is because we are sick, not because we ...
Have you even wondered how you would work with an advisor in another state? We have a few clients out of state that take advantage of our process and find it is just as personal as face to face meetings. We use Skype & Zoom for our 'screen to screen' meetings. We have formulated this process over the last few years to make sure it feels just as personal as sitting in front of us with the convenience of sitting at home.
Kids should be learning about investing in school but rarely do they get any real life information to use. It is up to the parents, guardians, brothers, sisters, and everyone else with any knowledge to pass it on to the younger generation. Teach them how to save and teach them what investing can do for them. Email ryan.stark@lpl.com if you have any questions! Thanks for listening.
Here we talk about the new bill that was passed making a few notable changes to investors of all ages, and especially those getting ready to hit the big 7-0. The RMD age was changed to 72 and Stretch IRAs now have a limit of 10 years. These are two of the biggest changes for us and our planning but there we plenty more. Listen to the podcast to here a few extra changes.
We go over an article we found and talk about some of the important things to get done before the year is over. We also talk about some of the not so important things! Let us know what you think and if you need anything you can reach us @ ryan.stark@lpl.com
Here we discuss bad financial information on social media. There is bad information everywhere, but we notice it the most on social media over the past few years due to its popularity and ability to reach millions of individuals. Articles with crypto currency experts and ads titled "This stock could be the next ___ (ex. Apple, Amazon)" are too common. A lot of big platforms are doing their best to minimize the spread of bad informa...
