Today we are joined by David Bonson. He is the managing partner and the founder of

the Bonson group. You've probably seen him all over Fox and Fox Business,

CMBC, all those places. He's also the author of the new book,

full-time work and the meaning of life. David, welcome to the show. Well, thank you so much for having me.

Great to be with you.

but could you tell us just a little bit about how you ended up

I was totally convinced that we could serve clients better on our own.
