In this episode, Dan sits down with Ric Edelman, one of the most influential financial advisers in the U.S. and a vocal advocate for responsible Bitcoin education.

Ric is the founder of Edelman Financial Engines, a $300B advisory business, and has been ranked the #1 independent financial adviser in the country by Barron’s. He’s the author of 13 bestselling books and the founder of DACFP, the Digital Assets Council for Financial Professionals, which has trained thousands of advisers globally on Bitcoin and blockchain.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dan and Ric cover:

How to deal with quantum computing, client objections, and professional ego

Whether you're crypto-curious or crypto-critical, this episode gives an articulate case for including Bitcoin in modern financial planning.
