Andy Wang, senior VP of Runnymede Capital Management 18 year veteran, a SEC registered investment adviser to captive insurance, pension funds, 401(k) plans, non-profits, and individuals.  He has been named one of the Top 100 Most Social Financial Advisors, he contributes to The Huffington Post, and has been quoted in major investment publications including Barron’s and Forbes.  On this episode we talked a little bit about his new project, Inspired Money Podcast and what he does to keep being grateful even in situations that are out of his control.  He's also a musician, playing Hawaiian songs and a happy father of 3 adopted children whom I've had the pleasure of meeting before the interview.  If you're working in an environment where you need to focus on what's not working right this interview is definitely for you! Andy has been analysing companies for 18 years and he shares his experience with focusing so much on what can go wrong in order to protect his clients, and how he balances this out with gratitude.  More on: www.georgianbenta.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support
