Greg is the senior advisor and CEO and one of the partners in The Advisory Group, a wealth-management firm based out in San Francisco that offers both personal wealth and retirement plans. He works with a handful of high-net-worth individuals by creating a strong foundational wealth-building platform and plan to execute on. Greg and his team understand that people are busy and they want an experience that helps them feel more liberated, organized, and being in the right direction to live life more effectively. But beforehand, it is vital to identify your goals and real WHY.  It is the important part in the beginning.
