This week, Kitces and I return to the podcast to bring you yet another mailbag episode. This time, we answer four of the burning questions we've received from the #XYPNRadio VIP community.

On this episode, we cover your questions about robo-advisors, how to transition from one career to financial planning, and how to best serve your niche community. We end our conversation with how large advisory firms can adopt a monthly retainer model and keep their younger advisors from leaving.
