Join us for a celebratory trip down memory lane as we mark the 500th episode of Guiding Assets! This little show we started all the way back in 2007 has now survived a dozen hosts, two financial crises, and a pandemic. We will look back at the history of the show and welcome back some familiar voices to share their favorite clips from memorable episodes.

A huge thank you to all the listeners who have been with us for all these years. And to everyone who has contributed their talents to make this show happen. Happy 500 everyone!
