Ep #26: The Career of Jude Boudreaux and How Failure Can Define Success

This week on #XYPNRadio, I am honored to bring you Jude Boudreaux, the founder of Upperline Financial Planning in New Orleans. Jude was one of our fantastic speakers at our XYPN conference back in September, and based on the incredible reception he received at the event, I knew I had to invite him to the show.

Jude is gifted at being incredibly authentic and has an inspiring story of what you can go through and still become a success. We discuss how he transitioned from being an employee to founding his firm, as well as the personal setbacks he experienced that shaped his journey to success.

Jude is a Certified Financial Planner who's narrowed down and discovered his niche clients that have helped him to live the life he loves. He also has a wealth of experience in the industry, having worked with Janus Mutual Funds, MassMutual Financial Group, and serving as Director of Financial Planning for Bellingrath Wealth Management.

Jude has been able to take both his successes and failures, learn from them, and leverage them into positive progress in the right direction. We're excited to share Jude’s incredible story and his ability to be completely vulnerable.
