    Hi Jovan.

    Thanks for the great content. I know your 1st podcast with Jeff Rose was geared more towards guys who have practices like mine, but I like the lead generation focus that Jeff Root has. Do you know if his mastermind community would blend well with an AUM/Financial planning type practice?
