Inside the Flows - Episode 14

In this episode of Inside the Flows, Iyassu sits down with Gary Preisser of Stonebriar Wealth Advisors for a thoughtful conversation on why wealth management should be built around purpose, timing, and cash flow, not just generic risk profiles and investment allocations. They explore Gary’s “Cash Flow Clock” framework and why understanding when money will actually be needed can dramatically change how advisors should structure portfolios for clients. Throughout the conversation, Gary shares a more holistic perspective on financial planning, emphasizing that advisors should focus less on standardized models and more on helping clients align their wealth with the moments and goals that matter most in their lives.

Inside the Flows - Episode 13

In this episode of Inside the Flows, Iyassu sits down with Leslie Samuelrich, President of Green Century Funds and a longtime leader in the sustainable investing space, to discuss why sustainable investing is far from dead and how advisors can better prepare for the next generation of clients. They explore the growing importance of shareholder advocacy, how investors can influence corporate behavior on issues like deforestation and water usage, and why younger investors increasingly expect their portfolios to reflect the issues they care about. The conversation also dives into the environmental impact of AI infrastructure and the strain large data centers are placing on water systems across the country. Leslie shares how Green Century is pushing companies to think more responsibly about resource usage, while Iyassu highlights why advisors need to become more fluent in sustainability topics if they want to retain and grow relationships through the coming generational wealth transfer. 00:00 Introduction to Sustainable Investing 02:39 Understanding Green Century Funds 05:40 Leslie's Achievements and Impact 07:21 Sustainable Investing News Recap 09:22 Deforestation and Corporate Responsibility 12:40 Shareholder Advocacy and Engagement 16:31 The Shareholder Resolution Process 19:27 Impact on Corporate Governance 22:01 The Role of Shareholders in Sustainability 25:21 Future of Sustainable Investing 27:36 Bridging the Generational Gap in Financial Advisory 32:03 The Importance of Water Infrastructure 40:55 The Resilience of Sustainable Investing 48:12 Planning for the Next Generation 53:12 Looking Ahead: Future Opportunities in Sustainable Investing #sustainability #esg #wealthmanagement #deforestation #ai #investing #financialplanning #financialadvisor #climatechange #fossilfuels #sdgs NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAY Step inside the corner office.
