Eric joins us to share his journey of building a business that has helped him and his clients create the lives that they’ve always wanted. After several transitions, where Eric went through insurance sales, hybrid advisory firm, and ended up partnering with a family investment advisor, he ultimately made the leap to starting his own firm.
