June 29, 2016 Lillie Cawthorn
Lillie Cawthorn is the director of a Sydney-based industrial property trust and has been investing in industrial real estate for the past fifteen years. She has real estate investment interests in Australia, France and the United States, and has travelled extensively, initially gaining investment experience in residential real estate across three countries in which she built and renovated homes she then leased out. Lillie is well placed to compare the benefits of the little-known industrial real estate investment opportunity to the more commonly known residential real estate investment domain.

She lives in Sydney, and has industrial property investment interests in small unit factories, larger conventional warehouses, and industrial property trusts.
Prompted by the discovery that very few women invest in industrial real estate, Lillie explored the reasons why. She shares her knowledge and experience in this straight-forward step-by-step guide, encouraging women of all ages to earn passive income in an investment sector traditionally seen as a male domain.

They want to know that their advisor will pay close attention to their portfolios, so they can focus on work or enjoying retirement.
Brett resides in San Elijo Hills, CA with his wife, daughter and son.

June 17, 2016 Chris Kimball
Hello, my name is Chris. Since you’re looking for a competent financial planner, however, and these websites are supposed to impress you, let me put it like this: I have been in the financial services business since 1993, helping individuals, pre-retirees, retirees and small business owners find the right answers to their financial planning questions. I'm a Certified Financial Planner Practitioner, an Accredited Estate Planner, a Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor, and am Certified in Long-term Care.
You know what, though? A lot of people have letters after their name. What they don’t necessarily have, however, is understanding, empathy, sensitivity, and a sense of humor. That’s the difference between a good financial planner, and a great financial life planner.

As I mentioned in that last section, I’ve been in the financial services arena since 1993. Prior to that I was involved in advertising, sales, and since age four I’ve been playing drums (and man, are my arms tired…). It’s fascinating how all those seemingly unrelated pursuits coalesced into a unique foundation, giving me insights into a myriad of financial planning issues. For example, musicians aren’t known for making a lot of money--after playing professionally for a number of years, not only was I broke, but I was $20,000 in debt (and back in 1984 that was a lot of money!) So I know what it means to experience financial stress. I realized in what a dangerous position I had placed myself, so with the help of the financially-savvy pastor of the church I was attending I set up a payment regime. Within two years I was debt-free. So I also know what it means to overcome severe financial obstacles. Since that time my wife and I have worked hard and achieved a successful life for ourselves and our two sons. So I know the challenges of deciding the best places to invest and grow wealth.
After beginning my career with Prudential Financial, I accepted the position of Regional Director for Money Concepts Capital Corp. Money Concepts has afforded me the opportunity to continue growing my practice, and in so doing, helping others to grow, too.
Education
1977-79 - Centralia College, AA degree, education
1989-91 - The University of Washington, BA degree, communications
1998 - The College for Financial Planning, Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor designation
2005 - The American College, Master of Financial Services
2010 - Tacoma Covenant Bible Seminary, Master of Biblical Studies
2011 - Tacoma Covenant Bible Seminary, Master of Divinity (counseling emphasis)
(By the way, those last two are so I can reassure people when they think their investments haven’t got a prayer…!)
Achievements
This is the section of the website where I’m supposed to impress you with all my career achievements, so here goes: I have been a qualifying member of the Million Dollar Round Table every year since 1996 with two Court of the Table honors. I have received considerable industry recognition; achieving Prudential Gold Level Financial Planner status, Presidents Hall of Honor, Prudential Masters Council, the Financial Planning Vanguard Award, several Presidents Citations, Associate of the Year, Investment Leader, Financial Planner of the year, the Distinguished Sales and Marketing Award, and Great American’s “Advantage Plus” award, among others. I have spoken to many industry and public groups over the years, written articles and been interviewed by Kiplinger’s Finance Magazine, Dow Jones Newswire and others.
While a member of the Tacoma #8 Rotary Club, one of the largest in the Country, I was awarded “Rotarian of the Year.”
Perhaps my most significant achievement, though (outside of marrying my wife Vicki and raising my two sons) is that in 2003 I founded a Guinness Word Record-breaking charity event I...

June 16, 2016 Cathy Curtis
Cathy Curtis, Certified Financial Planner™ Passion. Success. Transparency. Service. These four qualities define how financial planner and investment adviser Cathy Curtis lives her life and runs her business. She is fueled by passion for what she does and her business is rooted in personal success. She opted for transparency as a business model—no hidden costs or behind-the-scene incentives—which reinforces the satisfaction she gets from being of service.
In Cathy's case, being of service means doing something she loves and excels at for the benefit of others who: 1) don't know how, 2) are intimidated or fearful, or 3) who have no interest or time to do for themselves what a trained and trusted expert can do better. Ask anyone in her family and they will tell you that Cathy was born with a brain for business. Her favorite game, as a child, was something she made up called "Important Papers." She would collect old bills and invoices that her dad was ready to discard and tell her siblings they were "playing business".
Early in her career, Cathy recognized a need that was neglected by most advisors and set out to help savvy women make wise decisions about money. Cathy spent some years climbing the various corporate ladders. She would strive for positions where she could be successful, entrepreneurial and independent. But along the way, she noted discrimination and inequality. "Often I saw women doing the grunt work and men making the money." And she learned that the glass ceiling and wage discrepancies were facts of life for many women. This motivated her to focus on women in her own business and it's one of the main reasons she gets great satisfaction helping women become financially independent and secure around money.
In her 20's, Cathy discovered the joys of reading business journals and company reports. She also learned that if she liked what a company was doing, she could buy a piece of it by investing in stocks. She found she had a knack for choosing the right companies and investing well and quickly discovered the advantages of creating and maintaining a second income stream through wise investment in stocks and property. As she watched her money grow, she saw that having this passive income liberated her from being limited by her salary.
It wasn't a great leap for her to start seriously studying financial planning and launch her own business in financial planning. Now with over 13 years of experience working with clients to deliver sound financial advice, she provides a fresh perspective to the prescribed way of thinking about money. Her driving motivation is to empower women to achieve their life goals and see money as a source of choice and liberation.

Being a Fiduciary
Cathy decided to work as an independent fee-only investment advisor and financial planner because she wanted to do business on her own terms. She felt in this way she could always do what was best for her clients. As a fiduciary, Cathy is legally bound by a code of ethics requiring the highest obligation of care, good faith and trust to always act in her clients' best interest. Cathy is independent of proprietary products, sales quotas or other conflicts of interest that could influence our advice.
Empowering Women
Cathy's clients are individuals who admit they need help and want to work with someone they can trust; who are savvy about money but who "know what they don't know"; and who could do it themselves, but don't have the time or the interest. Cathy loves working with women who are in charge of the finances for themselves or for their families. She works with many savvy women who are smart and capable but who want to work with an expert on their financial planning and investment management. She is motivated by personal passion and satisfaction and specializes in helping women to work through their unique financial issues,
