XY-Planning-Podcast-final

Today we're thrilled to welcome Eric Roberge to #XYPNRadio! Eric is the founder of Beyond Your Hammock, a revolutionary financial planning firm that helps clients in their 20s and 30s save for the life of their dreams.

Like many financial planners, Eric started out on the product sales side of financial planning only to find out that what he wanted to do is to provide comprehensive financial planning to clients.

Eric joins us to share his journey of building a business that has helped him and his clients create the lives that they’ve always wanted. After several transitions, where Eric went through insurance sales, hybrid advisory firm, and ended up partnering with a family investment advisor, he ultimately made the leap to starting his own firm.

This episode goes through his career progression and shows how he finally built a business to support his incredible life.
