Ditch the Status Quo and Build Your Ideal Life and Business with Derek Notman [Ep27]
Updated: Jul 8
Welcome to episode 27 of the Innovating Advice show.
I’m joined by Derek Notman, founder of Intrepid Wealth Partners where he’s known as a virtual CFP professional for elite frequent fliers.
In this episode, Derek and I chat about the paths we took – both entering financial services in 2006 and going virtual in 2013 – and how we came to the same conclusions despite very different experiences during that time.
We also discuss how to build trust online and how determine what your ideal client looks like after first doing some internal work.
And stay tuned until the end where Derek talks about the system he’s built to help advisors that want to transition to a virtual practice.
