What does it take to build a life and a practice you don’t want to retire from? 

In this episode of the From Busy To Rich podcast, Wes Young and co-host Justin Lakin pull back the curtain on their own journey, sharing the pivotal moments, challenges, and catalysts that shaped their holistic, fee-based financial planning firm.

Wes reflects on how he transitioned from a 24-year-old in electrical contracting to founding a remote-first financial practice that helps clients align time, talent, energy, and resources with their core values. From humble beginnings to a thriving 20-person team, the episode explores the importance of defining a clear vision, embracing transformation, and staying grateful along the way.

Here’s what you can expect from the episode:

  • How to align your business growth with personal values and priorities
  • Why a strong vision (even if imperfect) fuels long-term success
  • How to build a team culture that supports freedom and impact
  • Why “normalizing the new” is essential for continuous innovation
  • And more!
