What COVID-19 Taught Us About the Future of Financial Advice with Jack Sharry


Listen Later

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we think about everything - the way we work, the way we interact, the way we approach safety, healthcare, and even grocery shopping. COVID-19 forced many people to reflect on the state of their finances and underscored the importance of planning for unforeseen circumstances. The ability to lean on trusted financial advisors proved to be more crucial than ever. 

In this episode, Jack Sharry, LifeYield's EVP, Chief Growth Officer, takes the spotlight and is joined by Matt Nollman, VP of Marketing, as host. Jack shares what investors should focus on when faced with uncertainty and why human connection is vital even in a digital world. COVID-19 showed us that the unknown could and will happen, whether it’s an unexpected medical bill or a global pandemic. 

Jack speaks with Matt about what COVID-19 taught us three years later: why purpose, control, human connecting, and comprehensive wealth management matter.
