In this episode, we're joined by Larry Sprung, husband, father, award-winning advisor, author, and mental health advocate to explore how financial advisors can transform client relationships by focusing on joy rather than just numbers. Larry shares practical insights on:

  • How to incorporate joy-focused conversations into client meetings
  • Balancing saving and spending for couples with different financial perspectives
  • Building trust through authentic conversations about what brings clients joy
  • Practical implementation of joy-focused financial planning

As a mental health advocate, Larry also discusses his journey about how his personal experiences shaped his approach to financial planning. His firm's signature question - "What did you do today that brought you joy?®" - has evolved into a powerful tool for deepening client relationships and creating more meaningful financial discussions.
