Disclaimer once again, as someone with a finance degree and somebody that is securities licensed, nothing on this podcast is investment or financial advice or tax planning advice, nor is it affiliated with any organization other than P&W Designs. I'm coming at you as a bestie, sitting across from you with a hot cup of coffee, talking to a friend, and geeking out about finances.
