Nice, how’d you manage to land the Morningstar Advisor guest post? Was it more difficult than getting a guest post somewhere else?
It was more of a “right place, right time” sort of thing. I’ve had many conversations with two of their current contributors (Michael Zhuang and Carl Richards) over the last several months due to overlapping blog topics.
And Michael was recently kind enough to pass my name along to the editor there when he learned they were looking for another contributor.
Thanks for the mention, Mike! Have a great weekend…
