Episode 77-Jonathan DeYoe on Mindfulness in Personal Finance-Building My Legacy with Lois Sonstegard

Welcome to Episode 77 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, accomplished financial advisor Jonathan DeYoe talks about mindful financial investing, responsibility, and priority setting – topics that are so important today as the continuing COVID-19 pandemic has created financial stress for so many of us.

In working with clients, Jonathan concentrates on being goal-focused and understanding what’s important to each client. This ensures that working together, Jonathan and his client will build a portfolio that works – regardless of what you hear in the media, what your brain may tell you, or even what your parents say is important. As one client told him, “Jonathan, I finally get it. You don’t manage investments. You manage people.” Jonathan also shares with us his thoughts on the two kinds of legacy – your legacy of values as well as your financial legacy that can last for multiple generations.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of our physiological, psychological, and cultural response to money
– Why sometimes the best thing you can do with your investments is nothing
– What mindfulness is and how, in personal finance, it provides a doorway to reason
– How your values should serve as a foundation for your financial life
– Why it’s never too late to begin planning your financial legacy
