b'Lauryn Williams, MBA\\xa0shares her journey as an athlete and three-time Olympic medalist including the advice she wishes she received when she started out when she was 20 and had endorsement deals to starting her own firm. Using her personal experience, Lauryn knew there had to be a better way to provide financial advice. After getting her MBA and passing the CFP\\xae exam, Lauryn was able to find people who were willing to approach financial planning differently and build on those experiences.\\nUsing her personal experience, Lauryn knew there had to be a way to provide services to people who were like her, both in terms of being an athlete and not growing up in an affluent home. She started her own financial coaching program and is exploring what it means to serve the mass market and those who don\\u2019t have the income or assets to pay for a traditional financial planner.\\nThe work Lauryn is doing is so important to financial planning and I am excited for you to hear this episode!\\n\\n\\u201cIf you find that rebel, lets say a college student fresh out of school, who has zero experience\\u2026 don\\u2019t shame them when you bump into them. Instead, be the person to take them under your wing. We\\u2019re better when everyone in this industry\\xa0is better.\\u201d\\nWorth Winning\\nThe National Association of Personal Financial Advisors\\nBriaud Financial Advisors\\nKatie Brewer, CFP\\xae\\nFinancial Planning Association of Dallas/Fort Worth\\nXYPN Conference\\nWeWork Coworking and Office Space\\nPUBLIC SCHOOL 972'
