In this episode, Behi Shafiei, Founder & CEO of Wealth Bridge Consulting, breaks down the real meaning of financial planning—and why it’s so much more than what you’d get from a bank, accountant, or financial advisor.

Behi also shares her holistic approach to planning, covering everything from debt reduction to education, lifestyle, investments, and legacy—proving that no matter where you’re starting, you can begin building your wealth today.
