I’m excited about our next two guests that are out of the great state of New Jersey, Michael Soroko, and Zach Zenda.

Please, welcome to the show with me, Mr.?Michael Soroko, and?Zach Zenda. How are you are guys doing?
Michael:
Good. Thanks so much for having us, Brett.
Brett:
I’m excited to have you guys as well. How about we start with Mike, and then we’ll go Zach, a little bit more about your story and your current focus?
Michael:
I’ve been in the business here in financial planning since 2013. Zach and I partnered up pretty much six months to a year into the business to young guys who didn’t really know too much about where we were going just said, Hey, we want to work hard and help a lot of people, and eight, nine years later, here we are with a team of staff and managing assets, helping people every day. Born and raised in New Jersey, and love the business and everything about it.
Brett:
How about you Zach?
Zach:
Similar to Mike started in the business in 2012, and Mike and I started working together pretty quickly. Fast forward almost a decade later working together and grown to probably well over 600 households and clients, over $100 million in assets, and really looking forward to the next 10 years or so of a lot of the changes that we’re going to be seeing across the board in this country. We’re already seeing it so quickly. But like Mike born and raised in New Jersey, we’re both college athletes so that similar backgrounds, totally different sports, but similar backgrounds and our work ethic and drive, and what motivates us definitely brought us together and continues to help us exceed and grow and build the business well after our, our athletic careers have long passed us. Excited to be here today, and looking forward to chatting with you, Brett.
