Rob Townsend says you’re wrong about financial advisors… mostly. And he’s built an 8-figure firm to prove it.

Here’s what we talk about:

  • Why $3M liquid is Rob’s version of “f*** you money”
  • How he went from $0 to 8 figures by modernizing financial planning
  • Why the old guard of wealth management is failing founders
  • What most people get wrong about index funds
  • The simple investing mistake that wipes out 44% of stocks
  • Why the happiest clients aren’t the richest ones
  • How sabbaticals change Rob’s life (and business) every time
  • His full portfolio: Dimensional Funds + a little Bitcoin
  • The real reason private deals feel better than they perform
  • The toxic mindset that plagues people with $25M+ net worth
