Saving money is something that should start early in life, but it's never too late to get started. Saving can be difficult at times, but there are ways to make it easier.
In this episode, Jack talks to Aaron Schumm, Founder and CEO of Vestwell. Aaron brings nearly 20 years of fintech and finserv experience from industry-leading companies. He founded Vestwell in 2016 to close the American savings gap by modernizing the way individuals and small businesses save. Prior to Vestwell, Aaron co-founded FolioDynamix, which is now part of Envestnet.
Aaron talks with Jack about his approach to guiding people toward financial wellness, how Vestwell serves its clients, and how savers can step up their saving strategies.
