Beer and Money started as a lunch and learn. We knew that learning about money can be stressful, so we wanted to create a low-key inviting setting to facilitate conversations.
Both Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins, co-hosts of the Podcast, wanted to make the conversation more like a fireside chat - easy going but informative. We bought everyone a beer and a burger and spoke about money on a very simplistic level.
We realized that people needed more flexibility with their time, so we pivoted to Podcasting. Listen in to our conversations where we speak into how busy professionals like yourself become better with their money.

Family: Lives in Duvall, WA. Married for 18 years with 2 kids (boy and a girl).
My Why: I want to change the experience people have with financial advisors and money. "Planning" should be more personal to what the person wants and values. It should also be fun and exciting!
