Episode 136: Navigating Financial Waters with Dan Moloney: A Journey of Trust and Planning

Today, our host, Bob Gauvreau, and our guest, a financial advisor, Dan Moloney, examine financial planning for entrepreneurs, focusing on why a business should not be relied on as a standalone retirement plan. They emphasise the importance of a personalized, adaptable strategy that supports growth, succession planning, and eventual exit outcomes

The discussion highlights automated investing, dollar-cost averaging, and cash-flow-driven contributions as core tools for disciplined wealth building. By removing emotion and aligning investments with business cash flow, entrepreneurs can manage risk more effectively while building long-term financial security

The episode concludes with a focus on insurance, estate planning, and legacy protection, outlining how insurance provides certainty when markets and business valuations cannot. Ongoing collaboration with trusted advisors is positioned as essential to navigating economic uncertainty and protecting long-term financial freedom
