b'We are excited to have Elissa Buie\\xa0join us to discuss what is financial planning.\\xa0She owns one-half of the\\xa0Yeske Buie firm which is on the front lines of pushing our profession forward.\\nElissa sits on the Board of Trustees for the Foundation for Financial Planning, is a past Chair of the national Financial Planning Association and is a Dean for the FPA\\u2019s Residency Program. She has published multiple papers in the Journal of Financial Planning and in 2013 she was awarded the P. Kemp Fain, Jr. Award.\\nIf that\\u2019s not enough, she has quite literally wrote the book (or at least 17 chapters) of the CFP Board\\u2019s Financial Planning Competency Handbook.\\nUnderstanding and practicing financial planning is\\xa0what separates us from being an industry and being a true profession. I believe there is no one better to have talk to us about this than Elissa Buie!\\n\\n\\u201cFinancial planning is something different and it\\u2019s actually magical. It takes a process, the relationship that\\u2019s built, and number crunching\\u2026 and turns it into more than the sum of its parts.\\u201d'
