Hello, Smart Money Tree Podcasts listeners.

Welcome to this week's show.

My name is Kirk Chisholm and I will be your host.

So today I'm joined with Dr. Nicole Simpson.

How you doing day?

I'm wonderful. Thank you so much,

Kirk, for having me. It's exciting to be here. You really do engage your audience and so I'm privileged

to have this conversation with you. Well, thanks for joining us. So Nicole, tell us a little bit

that's a long time. But I started off a long time ago because I actually blew a four-year scholarship to high school. I'm a teenage mother. And the securities industry was an area in which

and invested. I decided to put

my hat in a ring. I went through to school and I started my first job in 1991 at probation.

I've been going strong thereafter. Over the years, I've acquired some level of skill set,

received my securities license, series 7, 63, 65, went into

comprehensive planning, got my life insurance designation as well, and landed in a place

At first, I was dealing with just investment advice, but I am a World Trade Center survivor.
