Summary

On this episode we welcome Matt Miner back to the show. Matt previously came on the show to discuss whether going back to graduate school is a good financial move.

Since that interview, Matt left his corporate job and became a financial advisor!

In this interview we explore two themes:

  1. How good financial planning and preparation enables a move to a better career fit. This is an important component of a progressive plan towards financial freedom.
  2. How a personal finance aficionado can make a move towards working as a financial advisor without sacrificing their integrity.

Enjoy!
