In this episode of Maximum Advisor, host Chip Munn is joined by Alan Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of the XY Planning Network, and CEO as Advice Pay, which serves as a payment processor for financial advisors.
Alan spent his career in financial planning, having earned his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Family Financial Planning from the University of Georgia. After years working for a few fee-only RIAs and having been let go from his last one, Alan decided it was time for a path change. So in 2012, at the ripe age of 25, Alan started his own RIA, Serenity Financial Consulting, a name which fit his vision of spending his days helping his own generation navigate financial planning and wealth building.
Listen in as Chip and Alan discuss:
- How (and why) Alan went from running a successful RIA serving clients, to making the shift to serving advisors that were interested in starting and running their own businesses. (Launched in 2014, XY Planning Network)
- The opportunities presented by and structure needed to serve clients that don't have assets to quality for an AUM-based advisory relationship.
- Ways to cultivate community and culture in your business as well as find it for yourself in your professional associations.
- The prevalence of mental health struggles among those in the financial industry, and how to ensure you are taking care of yourself.
