This week on P&L, I'm joined by Austin Smith, a Chief Investment Officer at Schultz Wealth. This episode dives into how we're adapting our financial planning strategies in today's volatile market conditions, and what kind of long-term strategies we focus on for those with retirement portfolios. Austin is a wealth of knowledge and shares why, though it's important to focus on day-to-day market changes, we really need to look at the long-term horizon when risk-managing, depending on the client's goals.

Tune in this week on P&L to learn how we're navigating 2025's market volatility.
