Business of HYPE is a show that centers around entrepreneurs and their paths to success. Often times, some of the most important concerns when it comes to building your own business are around financial investments. We noticed a number of incoming questions in our mailbox focused on this topic. So for this week’s episode, Jeff sits down with Liang Lee, a financial advisor at WestPac Wealth Partners.

It is important to understand where our money is flowing, as those choices dictate the granular details, ranging from what home we live in, to how many sneakers we can buy. Liang begins with the basics, such as the definition of financial independence and how to achieve it. He later answers questions regarding stocks, taxes, and high, medium and low risk investments.

So tune into this special Finance Q&A and learn more about some of the most important decisions one can make in their life. Feel free to reach out to Liang with any questions at liang.lee@westpacwealth.com or give him a call at 808-695-2119.
