Welcome to Episode 77 of Building My Legacy.
In this podcast, accomplished financial advisor Jonathan DeYoe talks about mindful financial investing, responsibility, and priority setting – topics that are so important today as the continuing COVID-19 pandemic has created financial stress for so many of us.
In working with clients, Jonathan concentrates on being goal-focused and understanding what’s important to each client. This ensures that working together, Jonathan and his client will build a portfolio that works – regardless of what you hear in the media, what your brain may tell you, or even what your parents say is important. As one client told him, “Jonathan, I finally get it. You don’t manage investments. You manage people.” Jonathan also shares with us his thoughts on the two kinds of legacy – your legacy of values as well as your financial legacy that can last for multiple generations.
So if you want to know:
- The importance of our physiological, psychological, and cultural response to money
- Why sometimes the best thing you can do with your investments is nothing
- What mindfulness is and how, in personal finance, it provides a doorway to reason
- How your values should serve as a foundation for your financial life
- Why it’s never too late to begin planning your financial legacy
