The Healthy Advisor: Getting Past the Seven-Year Fog with Dr. Preston Cherry

Listen Later

What happens when professional achievement outpaces personal well-being? Dr. Preston Cherry, founder of Concurrent Financial Planning, seemed to have it all—a thriving career and a secure six-figure salary in his late 20s. But beneath the surface, he was stuck in a seven-year fog, struggling to align his personal life with his financial success.

In this episode, Diana Britton, executive editor at WealthManagement.com, sits down with Dr. Cherry as he opens up about his challenges—bankruptcy, self-medicating behaviors and racial microaggressions—all while searching for balance, healing and true fulfillment.

He discusses: 

  • The realization of his “seven years of fog”
  • The concept of life and money misalignment
  • Thoughts on money buying happiness
  • How his experiences inspired his new book “Wealth in the Key of Life”
  • What his journey has taught him about having empathy and compassion for clients
