In 2003, I started a music studio that I called "Do-Re-Media." My dream was to write music for film, and compose songs for popular artists. I didn't know how to choose a niche yet :) I was a solid pianist, decent lyricist, and I understood how to craft an intriguing melody. But my creativity took me down other roads, and eventually I landed in personal finance. I never lost my love for the art form, though, and music, more than any other art, helps me stay in touch with my emotions.
Reese, thanks for taking the time to write this. I got a lot from it. The music pairing was perfect to set the mood for some focused thought, and it finished right as I finished the piece.
This is so good. I agree that if more "real financial advisors" (as Carl would say) could give more people the gift of just sitting with them and genuinely listening, the industry as a whole will improve (and hopefully the general public's perception). I have been blessed to have so many wonderful conversations with clients and prospects simply by asking thoughtful questions. And as you said, these will be the memories that I cherish most from my career. Thanks Reese!
