On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Alissa Maizes, Julie Pinkerton and Maxwell Schmitz about building your financial dream team. 

In this episode we discussed:

  • How to build your financial dream team.
  • What is a financial dream team and how can it help you?
  • How advisors can start to feel comfortable with collaborating.
  • Going beyond your expertise can cost your clients significantly, you can’t be an expert in all things.
  • Teaming up with other experts helps you uncover unknown unknowns. 
  • Advisors need to communicate and work together to find solutions for the clients.
