BASKING TURTLE

So many people have expressed surprise by my shift into financial coaching, and I completely understand why; it's not something I've openly talked about before, apart from amongst groups of friends who also love finance. But for years I've been studying the subject of money, through reading countless books and articles, listening to literally thousands of hours of finance related podcasts and audio books and conversing with financial minds far smarter than I. As astounding as this may sound to some of you, I was simply doing it for fun; because I enjoyed the subject. I never planned on doing anything with it. It wasn't until the past couple years that I began having the feeling of needing to do something impactful with my life; to help improve the world in some way. And that's when I realized that if I were to combine the skill set of education and communication that I developed during my 14+ years in the wine industry, with my passion for finance, that I could actually do something really important for people. I sincerely hope I can turn this into something that will improve thousands of lives someday, maybe more. Either way, I plan on giving it everything I've got.
