Our Podcast

Welcome to our Podcast

Do you make financial decisions out of fear or out of knowledge?   We believe education will help you feel confident in your decisions.  The government is incentiving you to invest in tax-deferred investments and pay taxes when you cash in or the “harvest”.   

This conservative finacial podcast will be discussing real life situations involving, money, investing, taxes, insurance and everything in between.  We bring real people together with financial professionals and answer the questions in a way that makes it easy to understand.  

Whether you are a government employee or a wealthy self-employed individual, we have topics that definitely will affect your long-term decisions.

Our motto is to make decisions out of knowledge, not out of fear.
