CSFP 011 | Your Mindset, Your Money, Your Future - Interview With Mike Lindstrom
In this podcast, we had the opportunity to interview Business and Relationship Coach, Mike Lindstrom. Mike earned his JD from California Western School of Law and worked right out of college as a consultant with Tony Robbins Organization. He has been interviewed on FOX, CNN and HLN and speaks regularly at corporate events on behavioral skills for success in leadership.

CSFP 010 | Defining Your Investment Philosophy
As with most things, many of us want a quick fix or quick answer to our questions. What I have learned is that not everything can be answered with a quick cookie cutter answer. For Instance, I am often asked 'What should I be investing in?'. Well, if I was simply trying to sell books or give a simple cookie cutter approach to investing, then this would be easy to respond to because I would say the same thing to everybody who asks. Every investor operates with varying degrees of knowledge and experience with investing. In this podcast, I talk about some of the different investment philosophies that people have.

CSFP 009 | Part 2 - Generational Planning
I recently published my second book titled 'Generational Planning - Creating and perpetuating wealth for generations'. I wrote the book for a number of reasons, but primarily it was to help educate the public about what planning your estate really means. There is a lot of limiting thinking when it comes to transferring assets to the next generation. I want to lift the fog on this topic and provide some light on how to think this through.

CSFP 008 | Part 1 - Generational Planning
If you have a living mother, father, grandparents, brothers, sisters, children or grandchildren then this is a topic that could be beneficial for you. There is never a one size fits all solution for how a generational plan is to be arranged. Family dynamics, their belief system, and their financial situation will dictate the details of a plan. The framework of a generational plan begins with the mindset of thinking beyond and accepting a broader vision for what is possible.
