Financial advisors offer many of the same products and services. So what sets one apart from another?
In this episode, Matt Halloran chats with Josh Passler, also known as The Fin Artist. Josh has a unique story, having transitioned from being an advisor himself to becoming a sought-after branding and design expert in the industry.

Matt and Josh discuss:

- The importance of identifying your “north star”
- Resources for self-discovery, such as books by Sally Hogshead, to help advisors better understand their brand’s essence
- And more
“With brands, you feel that emotional connection. And that’s really what a brand is. A brand isn’t just a logo that you see on a billboard, right? It’s the feeling that you get when you actually see it. That’s the brand, that’s the meaning behind the brand.” ~Josh Passler
