Episode 18:


Curtis May is the creator and owner of Practical Wealth Advisors (PWA) and host of The Practical Wealth Show Podcast. The primary focus of his financial planning firm is to help individuals and families become financially free by following the principles of wealth creation that have endured for centuries around the world.

 

As the host of his popular podcast, The Practical Wealth Show, and in his meetings with clients, Curtis teaches people that their number one financial asset is their knowledge. The more they know, the lower their risk and the greater their chance of success over time. He feels strongly that financial products are simply tools.

Curtis has been planning for individuals for more than 35 years, and he is passionate about helping his clients save money and live the very best life they can right now.
