Will "While I have this opportunity, I just want to take a moment and honor my friend. EJ you have been an incredible friend to me. I’ve watched you climb to the top of the financial advisory world with grace and goodness

I need to tell our audience that EJ personifies boldness, fearlessness, kindness and generosity and has helped me change my world view to emulate and adopt more of his character. You have been a true inspiration and influence.

So EJ thank you for being my friend all these years for the person that you are, for sponsoring MTM and being part of our show today helping our audience understand how to alleviate our financial stress."
