Oil & Gas: CEO Steve Blackwell- part II (Ep.86)
Today is the conclusion of my conversation with Steve Blackwell, CEO of Invito Energy Partners. In part I, Steve and I talked about oil & gas from an investment standpoint, and how not all oil & gas opportunities are equal, nor do all carry the same risk. For part II, we pivot to the unique tax benefits that oil & gas can offer, as this is what draws so many investors into the space. We talk about how an investment into oil & gas can be used to directly offset taxable income, but how it has to be done properly in...

Oil & Gas: CEO Steve Blackwell- part I (Ep.85)

While the tax benefits often lead the conversation when it comes to oil & gas, today we look at this solely from an investment perspective...

Retirement Risks Analysis (Ep. 84)
This is a quick impromptu episode where I hopped on the microphone after a couple of client meetings to share some thoughts. In the first half, I talk about the role of the advisor, specifically how it's important for advisors to push back and challenge clients who have strong convictions regarding how to best invest their portfolio. At the end of the day, it's the client's money and they have the final say in how to invest, but I think it's through this push-pull dynamic that we can arrive at the best answers. In the second half...
