First, a few things about the guy that created this presentation
I'm a big fan of keeping things in perspective

My background is unique
(Although not as unique as a bulb that works without electricity)
I also did stand-up and improv in NYC
Which helped keep my life balanced
And then I went to business school
Go Bruins!
Since then I've done some really cool things
Like becoming a thumb photographer (kidding)
I opened a comedy club in LA
M.i's Westside Comedy Theater!
Launched an online content company
We created a bunch of great original comedy
And worked for a world-class asset manager
Helping top financial advisors build their businesses
Before realizing I belong on the other side of the table
So I joined TCI as a fee-only financial advisor
TCI is a great company
Founded in 1990, $1.8+ Billion AUM, super-high integrity
We take a holistic approach
Helping people architect their financial future
And I get to use my strengths
Connecting with people, big picture thinking, pragmatic solutions

Helping you answer the question
Is everything going to be okay?
And helping you get from "here"
Your current financial reality
to "there"
Your desired future financial reality
As smoothly as possible
Minimizing anxiety. Maximizing happiness.
We're more like life strategy advisors
Than just financial advisors
So in that spirit, here are
