Director of Client Experience, Robin Strauss, finds that smart technology choices help keep her accountable to her daily goals. Since Robin’s work is relatively sedentary, she makes it a point to get moving every day. Her daily fitness goals include putting in time on her Elliptical machine each morning and walking her dog, Maxie, every night. Using her Apple watch is a crucial component of that routine because it allows her to track her progress throughout the day and course-correct …
To Our Vance Wealth Friends and Family, Last quarter brought some exciting changes, both personally and professionally.

Lauren will be studying nursing, and Evan will pursue business. It just so happened to work out that Boise State was the best fit for both of them, and we’re really excited to watch them start …

Maybe it’s a business sale, a massive sign-on bonus, book royalties, a wildly popular invention, or even YouTube stardom. Perhaps you know you’ll eventually experience sudden wealth by receiving an inheritance. Well, what if that money became real? How would you handle it? Would you end up bankrupt, as many others do after receiving a lump sum or would you be able to …
What’s your money story? We all have one. Our money story is tied to the beliefs that we learned when we were children, from birth to about 8 or 9 years old.
