Michael Sakraida's guest is John Coyne, who is Chair of Ategenos Capital.  This podcast is for individuals and financial advisors.  Both will have a greater understanding of your journey for a Total Wealth life that Mike covered in his book, Money, Balance, Joy - Improving Your Life Story (Amazon).  And both will feeling calmer and more optimistic about their lives than they've probably have felt, lately.

John was generous enough to offer to help individuals find advisors who follow the Money, Balance, Joy approach, and help advisors better help their clients in today's investment and economic environment.  Just go to the ategenoscapital.com website and click the "Contact" button on top.

In this episode, Mike and John talk about the presidential election and other current life and investment issues that are causing a high degree of stress for people.  This includes the need for wealth management help that isn't that of the non-Boomers' Boomer fathers.  And this new approach - mirroring that spelled out in Money, Balance, Joy - also can help Boomers.  John's investment and political background give him great insight into the investing and market climate no matter who wins the election.
