Taming the Financial Chaos
What Galileo Can Teach Us About Advice
In this episode, we’re taking a little detour from the usual financial talk—because sometimes, the most powerful lessons come from unexpected places.
We kick things off with a story about Galileo (yes, the telescope guy) and what happened when he challenged what everyone thought was true. It’s not just a history lesson - it’s a reminder of how easy it is to dismiss new ideas without truly listening. And honestly, we see a lot of that happening today.
As financial advisors and as human beings, we all give advice, whether we realize it or not. So the real question is: what kind of advisors do we want to be? Are we helping others, or just serving ourselves?
We're also talking about why staying curious, open, and kind matters more than ever in this crazy world.
What You’ll Hear:
- A fresh perspective on Galileo and why his story still matters
- Why we’re all “advisors,” even if we don’t have the title
- How we can give better advice by listening first
- And a little encouragement to keep showing up, even when it’s hard
