    #191 - 2024 College Planning with Cozy Wittman

    #191 - 2024 College Planning with Cozy Wittman

    On today’s episode, Brad Wright and Jeff Tomaneng are joined by Cozy Wittman. Cozy is an education and partnership leader at College Inside Track. Cozy speaks nationally about college search, educating families and training financial advisors and other professionals who work with families with high schoolers. She is passionate about dispelling myths around how colleges accept students and how they price their product. She has been featured in The Journal of Financial Planning on the subject of college planning. And she’s a mom to 5 kids, all with different goals for college!

    We discuss:

    • College planning being more than “Just get in and we’ll figure it out”
    • We’ll attempt to understand the difference between need-based aid and merit-based aid, how to search for colleges that give more, and how to appeal their initial offering.
    • We’ll learn what impact FAFSA changes have had on the college search and pricing process

    Nurturing a More Diverse Profession – with Rene Jarquin and JonPaul McBride

    According to data recently released by the CFP Board, less than 10% of the nearly 100,000 CFP® professionals report as Black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian or Pacific Islander. Only 24% are female. It’s not news that we have much work to do to encourage individuals from underrepresented communities to join our ranks. 

    On this episode, Kathleen is joined by her fellow FPA of New England chapter members, Rene Jarquin and JonPaul McBride, to talk about their involvement with the New England chapter’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committee and the work they are doing to advance diversity within our profession. Tune in to learn more about the various initiatives the DE&I committee is pursuing to attract more candidates from diverse backgrounds into the industry, what their experience was like attending the CFP Board’s Diversity Summit, and how they continually adjust and improve their outreach efforts by listening to feedback they have gotten from the students they are trying to reach.

    #183 - Maximizing Value: Selling Your Financial Advisory Business
    As a financial advisor, would you sell your business if you found out it might be worth nearly twice what you thought?  That might be true.  In this episode, host Brad Wright is joined by guest, Scott DiGiammarino of JPTD Partners, and WPP co-host, Chris Boyd, who is selling his practice, to talk about the potential environment for investment advisors thinking of selling. There are no shortage of worries in the world - the impact of AI, fee compression, market disruptions, and more.  As a financial advisor, we often urge clients to diversify and not keep too much of a single holding, yet for many of us, our business interests represent our largest asset and source of income.  In this episode, Scott ("DiGi") DiGiammarino provides tips as to which firms can fetch top dollar and how to make improvements when necessary.  Having a consultant's help can enable you to look at your business in a way that will attract buyers and find firms offering higher deal structures.  What are the questions you should consider to determine which buyer might be the best fit for you?  Listen in.  We hope this episode will provide you helpful considerations as you might be planning for yourself as we transition from one year to the next.
