“I’m concerned when I listen to the advice given listeners by some of today’s TV and radio show personalities. Being properly licensed and fully understanding how investment products work and are changing continuously, both for the good and bad, makes for sound advice and appropriate investments. I want to take the fear out of finances and empower people to be proactive now—not after it’s too late. I want men and women of all ages to see opportunities, not dread when facing financial challenges. I want to encourage them, not intimidate them, so I keep things simple and positive.”—Matt
