The holiday season is upon us and while most have their shopping wrapped up (pun intended), I have a suggestion for those who have procrastinated and are left scrambling to find the right gift. And if I’m being honest, this recommendation is also for those already done shopping. This year give the gift of your presence. Before I get on…
I hope you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. The Castelli Family had a great day—not too crazy and just a short trip across Fishers to Carmel for dinner with my wife’s family. I’m not a huge Thanksgiving food fan, so I managed to escape the day without overeating and feeling—I’ve been pretty disciplined with my nutrition and workouts…
Over the weekend in The Weekly PRST I shared about my recent trip to Venice Beach with Leo. It was a short trip but we packed a great time into it. I’ll save retelling the full story and share The Weekly PRST so you can check out the details. But I will share one picture that sums up our second…
It’s been a minute since the ETF Exchange conference ended and I’ve been wanting to share some thoughts from my quick trip to Miami. Better late than never… First, I want to give a huge shoutout to Matt Middleton, Tom Lydon, Dave Nadig, Matt Hougan, John Swolfs, Tom Hendrickson, and their team for putting on an outstanding conference. This was…
Pusha T, one of of my favorite artists, released a new single this week–“Diet Coke”. The song leads in with a sample from Fat Joe where he emphatically suggests that “yesterday’s price is not today’s price”. The song has been on heavy rotation since it came out and the more I hear Fat Joe kick off the song, the more…
Sometimes the important signs are right in front of you—you just have to allow them to reveal themselves. I walked over this message spray-painted on the sidewalk the other day while I was in New York City for the Bitcoin For Advisors conference. I’ll never know who shared this message with the countless people who walk along this sidewalk each…
Earlier this week I was listening to a Lute album from 2017 and one of my favorite tracks came on, Still Slummin’. For some reason, I was paying close attention to the lyrics when a line screamed out to me: “You in high demand and that’s life. Only one time to get it right. Take a flight, view this world…
Even though the time stamp on this IG post is May 23rd, July 3rd, 2015 will forever be the birthdate for RLS Wealth. Today marks the sixth birthday for RLS Wealth and as I shared with clients this morning in an email, I don’t think I’ll ever not be excited on July 3rd—if I do, then I think it’s time…
Today was one of those days that remind financial advisors how personal our business really is. This morning I received a phone call informing me that one of my long-time clients had a massive heart attack and died on Tuesday. He was on an RV trip out west with his wife and friends–one minute he was taking a picture and…
On the latest episode of The Pursuit I discussed how the feeling of fear holds many of us back from reaching our goals or pursuing the life we really want. Once you’ve identified your feelings are the culprit, you can begin to break down the “thing” you are afraid of and move past it. At the risk of sounding like…
