The financial industry is changing. đź‘€
Clients today are:
• More educated
• More skeptical
• And expecting far more personalization than ever before
Which means the gap between product sellers and true advisors is getting wider every year.
🎙️ In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, we sit down with David, founder of Hygge Financial, to break down what modern retirement planning and advisory relationships should actually look like.
Because instead of starting with products…
David starts with questions like:
👉 Who do you want to become?
👉 Where do you want to live?
👉 What does an ideal retirement actually look like for *you*?
That shift changes everything.
