I continue to try and add to the ways you can learn new things about technology in financial services and wealth management.

This year, I launched both a YouTube channel and an iTunes Podcast featuring a variety of content, interviews, and screencasts on topics ranging from apps to workflow. With nearly 8,000 YouTube views and over 1,000 podcast downloads, you clearly are engaging this content and are likely sharing it with your colleagues.

Now I’m going to try another new way to deliver content to you.
