My guest today is Matt Hall. Matt is a financial advisor who learned the hard way what works and what doesn't in the world of financial advice.

One of the missions of Radical Personal Finance is to pull back the curtain from the world of financial advice. I do my best to ask direct questions of financial advisors and give them an opportunity to share their perspective.

Enjoy!

Today we speak with Jeff, the Happy Philosopher. Jeff is a doctor who was finding himself increasingly dissatisfied with his job. 

Knowing that if he didn't make a change, he would find himself totally burned out, he managed to re-negotiate his work agreements in order to build a better lifestyle.

This is an option that many of you should consider.

In today's show, I seek to persuade you to agree with me.

In short, this is my sales pitch for disability income insurance.

Ever wondered what the actual practice models are for financial advisors? Today, I've invited Sean Kernan on the show to talk about the inside business of financial advice.

Since then, he's started a website and podcast to help other advisors called "How to Go Independent."

If you'd like to listen in on two financial advisors discussing what the industry is actually like on the inside, enjoy this show!
