Welcome to the Balanced Advisor Podcast with Dr. Travis Parry. We want to help financial advisors achieve balance in their lives. If you're an advisor who has struggled to make time for the important things in your life both in and out of the office, then this show is for you.

Join Travis for new episodes each week that will feature interviews with advisors from across the country. They'll share their personal stories of struggles and successes when it comes to striking that proper work/life balance. Travis will also interview other financial industry peers to connect advisors with other valuable resources that can hep them live a balanced life.

Dr. Travis Parry began his career as a financial advisor in 2002. Over the next decade he developed an interest in helping individuals and couples manage and plan for their lives in more ways than just their finances. The shift turned into a new business, new goals, and a few books along the way. Eventually, Travis founded the Make Time Institute with the specific goal of helping financial professionals and business owners achieve work/life balance.
