The daily emails
A short email most weekdays. Money is the main subject. So are decisions, work, life, and whatever else is on my mind that morning.
They're written by John Montgomery, a financial advisor who's been at it for about 15 years. The day job is what gives the emails substance. The emails are what makes the day job interesting.
No paywall. Just emails. Sometimes great. Always honest.

If you want to work with me directly
Sometimes readers want help with their actual money, not just the daily writing.
I take a few new clients each year. The work is long-term, deliberate, and quiet. No product sales. No market timing. No promises about returns.
The voice you've been reading is who you'd be working with. Same brain, all the way through.
The way in is the email list. Read for a while. You'll know.
