More About This Episode:
Today we are joined by Tom Shepard, CEO of Shepard Financial and author of the book Money Isn’t Everything, Everything Is Money. He is the inventor of the Evolutionary Method and founder of the Currency Institute and Currency Camp, which is a financial boot camp built on the Evolutionary Method.
Tom’s strengths in math and science led him to pursue engineering in college. However, he quickly realized that engineering was not his passion. In search of a more fulfilling career, he found himself teaching at a boarding school in Maine, where he used personal finance as a tool to show students the practical applications of math in everyday life. It was then that Tom found his true calling and decided to venture into financial advisement on his own.
In this episode, Tom reflects on the challenges he’s faced while transitioning from an advisor to a business owner. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing your values while growing your business and shares how embracing imbalance can ultimately lead to a more balanced life.
