Episode notes
Reassess Advice When Facts Change
- Acknowledge past caution and explain that facts have changed, so your recommendation can change too.
- Re-evaluate positions as a fiduciary and present the new analysis to clients confidently.

- That argues shifting from 60/40 to an equity-heavy allocation and including crypto inside equities.
