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.

On today’s episode, Amy Castoro joins us to explore her definition of balance and how it’s shaped her journey in generational wealth planning. She has many years of experience helping families transition high net-worth wealth, keeping families unified and in control of their assets. As an author, keynote speaker, and consultant Amy has had to balance various parts of her life and her profession.

Amy became a coach for families after working at both Disney University and at Grant Thornton, where she learned the value of culture and building strong relationships. She found her passion for working with individuals and helping families stay compatible and cohesive.

For Amy, balance means having a centered day. She knows she’s off-balanced when she’s not present. Balance means she’s able to make good decisions and respond in healthy ways to unpredictable situations. While it’s not always easy, Amy ensures she always has time for her family.

Join us today as we also discuss:

  • How imposter syndrome can lead to becoming unbalanced
  • Maintaining balance while scaling growth in business
  • How Zoom has changed things and meeting clients where they are
  • Engaging the next generation and building legacies
