Deliberate Money Moves
by Joe Morgan
After 25 years in the corporate world, managing money for some of the country's largest foundations, endowments, and corporations, I was ready for a change. In my experience, family financial challenges always seemed to be an afterthought for Wall Street. I wanted to end the destructive risks taken as a result of false and misleading statements that come out of the financial world — instead offering a path for individuals and families to obtain a balance between financial aspirations, resources, and accepted risks. If done right, financial planning should help you use your resources to meet your life goals. But for your plan to support those goals, no matter what season of life you're in, you need to study the big picture.What financial situation or environment is challenging you right now? If you don't quite have the answer or don't want to say it out loud just yet, that's okay. I do, however, urge you to start at episode one and hit play. Together we will navigate and translate yo
