• Host of the nationally syndicated Best Stocks Now Radio Hour, which broadcasts every market morning;
• Founder and owner of the Best Stocks Now app, which serves investors and advisors;
• Frequent guest on Fox News, Fox Business, Bloomberg, and national talk radio shows;
  regular contributor to financial news publications, such as Dow Jones MarketWatch, Seeking Alpha, and TheStreet.com; and
• Three-time Best Columnist of the Year award recipient (San Diego Press Club / Society of Professional Journalism).

This partnership is indicative of GCG's core strategy of achieving mutual success by partnering with advisors who are demonstrating organic growth, then bolstering that growth with the infrastructure, capital, and resources of an enterprise platform. This partnership also demonstrates GCG's commitment to helping advisors implement a thoughtful succession framework that supports the long-term preservation of the firm's legacy.
