S8 E1 - Greg Furer | Why Having a Plan for Your Money is the Key to Wealth
In the season eight premiere of Real Returns, hosts Andrew Reichert and Dan Croce sit down with Greg Furer, founder of Beratung Advisors and the TeachPassion Summit. A visionary in the financial planning space, Greg is on a mission to solve the "Cheesecake Factory" problem of finance, where too many choices lead to decision paralysis, by shifting the focus from selling products to providing life-changing advice.
Greg shares his provocative philosophy on inheritance, why he plans to leave "no money" to his daughter, and offers a profound distinction between "Success" and "Excellence" that changed how he viewed his personal and professional goals.
