  • 31. From Therapy Couch to Financial Advisor Coach with Ashley Quamme
    May 22 2025

    Ashley Quamme's path in financial advice was not the most typical one, but there were some early signs, like the fact that she was born on “Tax Day” and used to offer counseling to her classmates in the lunch line. Later, she worked as a mental health therapist until she discovered a new way to use her skills: advising advisors. If we add that she is married to a CFA and is the daughter of a CPA, now it makes way more sense.

    Let’s dive into Ashley’s journey and see how a psychological background and a lot of money conversations turned into a new way of financial advising.

  • 30. From Marketing Noise to Meaningful Work with Dennis Moseley-Williams
    May 8 2025

    What if the real reason people hire you has nothing to do with money?

    In this conversation, keynote speaker Dennis Moseley-Williams shares how his background in anthropology shaped a completely different approach to financial advising and business building. He explains why clients crave fulfillment, connection, and transformation more than they care about financial metrics.

    For Dennis, rejecting traditional business models, focusing on fairness, and creating memorable client experiences has helped him build a practice people want to be part of. He also shares why we are now living in a transformation economy, where doing work worth talking about matters more than any marketing funnel.

    If you are ready to start creating real impact, tune in to hear how you can build something people seek out naturally.
