5,589 Votes: What Running for California Governor Taught Me
Echo45 Advisors Founder and Chief Investment Officer Jon Henderson, CFP®, CRPC®, CBDA, reflects on his experience running for Governor of California and the lessons he brought back to the financial advisory profession.
In his latest article for Rethinking65, Jon explores what the campaign taught him about independence, incentives and accountability - and how those lessons reinforced his approach to fiduciary financial advice. He examines the parallels between political and financial systems, the influence of traditional gatekeepers, and why independent financial advisors have an opportunity to build businesses designed around the people they serve.
At Echo45 Advisors, Jon brings that perspective to the firm’s approach to integrated financial planning, wealth management, tax and estate planning, and trustee services.
