Right out of college, Colin began working for a large investment bank on Wall Street. After about ten years, he left and started Celestial Wealth Management as an independent RIA. As his business grew, Colin started to host more and more client meetings via Skype and Zoom, discovering that many people preferred the comfort and convenience of virtual appointments.

In this episode, Colin discusses how going virtual in his advisement career has changed his business and created more balance in his life. He reflects on what he has learned in the virtual realm, from hosting client meetings to creating financial advising content for YouTube, and how narrowing down his focus has created more room for balance.
