Across The Board Podcast

Hi friends! In this episode of the Millennial Blueprint Podcast, we discuss whether modern women are better off without modern men. The conversation flows to a vast array of different questions and debates like what should men and women bring to a relationship and whether crying in front of your partner is something you should do. Also discussed is whether security is the only thing a man provides and whether the breadwinner should be a man, which leads to a conversation about women not dating down in terms of income. Finally, they discuss whether men and women are equal and should be treated equally, with the topics of sports and leadership being brought up, as well as if it's problematic to have a type based on color or race. All of this and much more on this episode of the Millennial Blueprint Podcast.

Simpson Jr., MBA:As a Financial Advisor, I focus on connecting all aspects of clients’ financial decision making to help them prioritize and pursue the goals that matter most to them. I work with business owners, not-for-profit organizations, high-net-worth individuals, and families to understand their financial situation, help them articulate their short- and long-term goals, and then I recommend a financial strategy aligned with what they want to achieve. Just as a physician should not prescribe medication without completely identifying a patient’s symptoms and experiences, I commit my efforts to deeply understanding each client’s financial past and present priorities before I begin to craft their solutions. I hold a Masters of Business Administration degree, concentrating in Finance, from the University of Delaware's Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics. I have had the privilege of working with several fortune 50 companies. These experiences gave me a first-person view into and allowed me to participate in, the operation and business considerations that contribute to some of the more successful businesses in the world. In my free time, I enjoy following sports, traveling, and spending time with my family. Frank B.
