Profiles In Success

On this episode, Gordon recalls an experience from the Camino where he was faced with a decision. Continue on his course? Or take the scenic route to chase the castle at the top of the hill?

The scenic route may take longer, but you never know what you will find along the way. Gordon shares the lessons from that experience and the life-changing people he encountered on that journey.

Gordon believes that sometimes, in order to find what we’re really looking for, we have to be diverted from the path we’re on.

On this episode, Gordon shares his experiences of gratitude during his journey across the Camino.

What does gratitude mean to Gordon?

Gratitude doesn’t mean that every day was easy or that he didn’t encounter obstacles, both inner and outer.

One of the lessons he shares is that gratitude doesn’t necessarily depend on things being easy.

Gratitude is based on our perspective of the experiences, past, present, and future.

It is so easy for us to allow negativity to creep up on us and take root in our minds.

We all have a Meseta (obstacle) lying before us, from time to time. Yours may not be the prospect of a five- or six-day walk across a hot, arid plain.

Instead, it may be a particular challenge you are facing at work.  It may be a relationship that is in difficulty, financial uncertainty, or any of a number of other circumstances that give you pause and make you wonder if you’re really up to the task.

On this episode, Gordon shares his perspective on gratitude both personally and professionally as it relates to wealth management.

On this episode, Gordon shares the life lessons of the day before leaving for his walk through Spain.

We often get caught up in our day-to-day lives. The work pressures, family responsibilities, community concerns—a host of items lines up every day, each one ready to shoehorn its way into our attention. And when we become preoccupied, we fail to notice so much that is going on around us. Most critically, perhaps, we fail to notice the people in our lives.

Our relationships are the most precious thing we have. Beyond money, beyond influence, beyond fame or professional success, we are truly defined by the quality of our relationships. And our web of relationships extends outward in ways that we don’t always realize.

On this episode, we discuss relationships, perspective, “doing your part,” and closing the gate behind you.

“You are not committed until you book the ticket?

That’s what my friend Pete told me, when I shared my commitment to walk the Camino.

I committed in 2016 and I was mentally prepared for my journey.

Remember, it's our actions that define our lives, not our intentions.

There comes a point in our lives when we have to stop talking about it and book our own ticket. For some of us, that’s a trip. For others, that means taking care of their financial future.

What is the ticket that you get to book right now in your life?

"the will to win is less important than the will to prepare to win"

We have all heard the famous quote about preparation.

I had a goal to walk the Camino and I had a plan to achieve that goal. The mental preparation was more challenging than the physical.

When investing for life, it is often the mental stress that is the most challenging to navigate. When markets shift or circumstances change, we begin to worry about the uncertain future.

In this episode, we discuss preparing to win both mentally and physically, along with changing your perspective when times are challenging.

On this episode, we talk about the relationship between money and happiness. We have all heard the phrase, "money can't buy you happiness." That's not what this episode is about.

My question to you is this: Does the way you spend your money, make you happy?

In this episode, we dive into our consumerism society and the importance of spending, as well as our relationship with money.

If I asked you to list 2 words that were meaningful to you, what would those 2 words be? Would they be love, care, peace, or perhaps something else?

I'm not sure how I would have responded to that question earlier in my life.

In 2018, I had a heartfelt experience that touched my mind, body, and soul. My life would never be the same. 

I began a 35 day, 618-mile pilgrimage across the Camino De Santiago in northern Spain. The trip inspired me to write my upcoming book "Buen Camino."

The lessons I learned on that journey taught me so much about myself, my business, and the perspective I needed on life. I hope you find the stories and lessons valuable as well.

In this episode, Gordon takes us through the original virtual family office and why you should consider a virtual family office for all of your investing needs.

You could define Family Office as staff that serves the needs of a single-family, and for as long as there have been wealthy families, there have been staff.

In the United States, it was Thomas Mellon, the patriarch of America's most enduring banking family.

It was John D Rockefeller, widely considered the richest American in history.
