What Makes a Good Advisor

Find me on Substack!

Questions from the Talking Billions CommunityThe second installment of my monthly listener Q&A — raw, unscripted, and as close to a one-on-one conversation as you'll get without picking up the phone. I sit down with your real questions about investing, portfolios, patience, and why so few people actually talk to someone about their money.

Episode highlights:

Why you'll never hear specific stock picks on this show — and why that's actually the point. A single holding pulled out of context is like a prescription without a diagnosis. I explain why frameworks matter more than tickers and how every portfolio is a one-of-one.

A candid look at the biggest psychological traps in investing: impatience, borrowed conviction, and saying "long-term" when your behavior says otherwise. I draw on childhood memories of mushroom foraging with my grandfather and the rhythms of farming to make the case that patience isn't a personality trait — it's a skill built through repetition and loss.

How 200+ episodes of podcasting quietly transformed my investment practice — the systems thinking, the database mindset, the discipline of showing up week after week. The show didn't just document my process, it sharpened it.

The no-middleman philosophy: what it means to own every holding alongside my clients, to write personalized letters each quarter, and to build a practice where the advisor and the investor are on the exact same journey.

And the question beneath all the questions: What got you here — will it get you where you're going? A warm, honest invitation to anyone carrying real wealth and wondering whether a second pair of eyes might be worth the conversation.

Listen if: You've been managing your own money successfully and have started wondering what you might be missing. Or if you just want to spend 45 minutes with someone who genuinely loves his craft, and enjoys sharing what he has learned so far.
