“Today’s interview is with Daniel Wrenne, CFP and founder of Wrenne Financial Planning. Daniel was building a pretty solid book of business at Northwestern Mutual before ultimately deciding to branch off and start his own firm. Over the last ten months, he’s built and ran his business working primarily with physicians and business owners that are striving to save for the future.

This episode highlights what it takes to make the transition to starting your own firm. Daniel also shares an honest look at some of his successes and failures along the way. If you’re with an insurance company and find yourself wondering what your options are for going fee-only and starting your own an RIA, this episode is for you.”
