FMS PRO will be a central hub for FinPub marketing training
One thing about being a major hub in the industry is that I get inundated with questions, requests for introductions, connections, and more.
I have a reputation for being hard to get ahold of because if I respond to everyone when they reach out I would never get anything else done.
But FMS PRO gives me a solution.
Inside FMS PRO I’m blocking off every Friday morning to be available for intros, questions, connections and to help with anything you might need.
I’ll be in the Discord community responding to DMs each week.
I've recruited a Board of Advisors of finpub veterans to help me plan the training content
