The best financial KZbin channel for everyday people. Your advice has been a game changer for me and my family. Thank you!

[@ZhannaDavidova]

At 60 years old and newly retired, my external retirement funds total around One million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.. With no debt and minimal retirement fund allocation relative to my portfolio's value over the last three years, I recognize the importance of a financial advisor. Neglecting them isn't an option; however, thorough research is vital to find a trustworthy fiduciary advisor

[@rodgertim2881]

Many people underestimate the importance of advisors until their emotions lead to financial setbacks. I recall a couple of summers ago, during my protracted divorce, when I needed a significant boost to keep my business afloat. I conducted research and found a highly qualified licensed advisor.

[@ClayneBanks]

Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k.

[@RaphaelSafr]

It's really wise to have professional guidance

[@RaphaelSafr]

How did you choose a reliable financial advisor? How can you determine if they are trustworthy and competent?

[@rasalresid9147]

Amazing video!! I remember all his videos about dropshipping as it is my favorite side hustle, and honestly his guides and videos were the best on YT about this topic. He even inspired me to start my dropshipping store from scratch last year. I just got products from winnerzila, made my store on Shopify, and now after eight months I have finally hit over $15k profit. I hope I can expand my business even more.

[@Foundr]

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your story. Hope it inspires others too!

[@mitcha5768]

"How did you get your job?" might be the worst first question possible. It's a bit cringe. You even need to explain the question every time now because you've discovered that people have trouble answering it. Just change it up bro.

[@chibuzorromaine8188]

START YOUR OWN PROGRAM AND CHANGE IT THERE. ATLEAST, YOU ARE STILL A LIVING BEING!

[@sharonfinlay7411]

Who is Carl on twitter that you follow please - can I get his last name

[@HSTRTGMS]

“CRINGE?” You’re telling me you feel compelled physically to recoil in disgust, at the sound of that question? To me, I would agree that the question is phrased in such a way that I don’t really readily understand, but I don’t at all feel strange about it.

Try to prompt for the date or period of the events if the guest doesn't mention it. It helps the viewer get a sense of the timeline as they describe their backstory.

Good spot, Carl! 🙌

[@faridahsaadat9996]

What a beautiful, authentic and eloquent business woman. She truly deserves all the success. And that last bit about pulling the lid off the misconception that is “you can have it all”! That was GOLD! Her honesty is refreshing.

[@waffle_chair9269]

Who are you calling a woman ? 😂

Amazing guy!! ⭐️

[@KHANGAMING-z6b]

Hey Foundr, I hope you're doing well. I came across your KZbin channel, and I was impressed by the valuable content you share with your audience. However, I believe that improving your thumbnails could significantly enhance the overall presentation of your videos. As someone with three years of experience in thumbnail design, I believe I can help elevate your channel's visual appeal. Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further and explore how we can better enhance your thumbnails to represent your content. Best Regards, HASNAIN GRAPHICS.

[@duesvenatus6237]

Amazing content

[@Foundr]

Thank you so much! 🫶

[@eveline001]

There were so many good story bits but there was no inquiry or curiosity. It left me wondering if the interviewer is aware that he comes across as disengaged and not really interested in going deeper.

[@Foundr]

We believe Nathan is truly interested and engaged. Maybe he was just looking into his notes, or preparing the next set of questions.

[@Joeluntil8figs]

is this a reupload?

[@Foundr]

Yes, it is!
