Mark Willis is a man on a mission to help you think differently about your money, your economy, and your future. He shares how to build financial immunity that is pandemic proof and protects you from chaos. After graduating with six figures of student loan debt and discovering a way to turn his debt into real wealth as he watched everybody lose their retirement savings and home equity in 2008, he knew that he needed to find a more predictable way to meet his financial objectives and those of his clients.
Mark is a Certified Financial Planner™, a three-time #1 Best Selling Author, and the owner of Lake Growth Financial Services, a financial firm in Chicago, Illinois. As co-host of the Not Your Average Financial Podcast™, he shares some of his strategies for investing in real estate, paying for college without going broke, and creating an income in retirement you won’t outlive.
In this episode, Mark shares how to manage money during uncertain times, the truth about the fee structure in financial services, and how to coordinate your assets to work together.
