Eric Simonson Founder and CEO of Abundo Wealth | Certified Financial Planner™

Eric is the Founder and CEO of Abundo, a financial planning firm where they teach and empower people to take action and have ownership of their financial lives. He’s on a mission to help as many people as he can with high-quality and conflict-free financial planning.

After working as a traditional advisor for over a decade, Eric saw a need to help people who couldn’t work with a traditional financial advisor since most require having a certain amount of money to invest with them first.

In 2019, Simonson left his corporate job and launched a different model, one where he was only paid for giving honest advice that benefited his clients, not him. He built Abundo around a Flat Fee and Advice-Only Financial Planning model, eliminating all conflicts of interest, without overcharging for professional advice and using proven low-cost investments. His firm now provides guidance to over 400 households in all areas of their financial lives.

Eric is a passionate foodie and an aspiring yogi. He is also an avid traveler and chances are you’ll find him in Italy, Hawaii, Argentina, or anywhere other than his Houston home. (He’s also a travel hacking expert.)

Audiences looking for advice on financial topics from general to topical will enjoy Eric’s approachable style of financial advice. DIY financial fans will appreciate how he’s tackling the traditional financial advice industry. Business owners unsure of how to attract new clients or grow their business will learn from Eric’s story and be inspired by his mission.

Welcome to the Boss Uncaged Podcast, the show that dives deep into the lives and journeys of inspiring entrepreneurs and leaders. In today's episode, our host, S. A. Grant, sits down with a remarkable guest, Mark—whom we've aptly nicknamed "the catalyst boss." Mark is a Colorado native and a father of four, with an entrepreneurial journey that began at just 9 years old with a lawn mowing business. From leading his family's decorated sportswear business through good times and bankruptcy to transforming into a successful consultant for family-owned businesses, Mark has an array of insights to share.

In this episode, we explore a multitude of topics including the unnecessary pressure to impress others, the symbolism of receiving animals as gifts, and the relentless, slow grind required to achieve business success. Mark opens up about his fears, particularly his struggle with writing a book and overcoming his fear of public singing—a journey inspired by Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art."

We also dive into Mark's personal life, his passion for rugby, coaching, and the arts, as well as the values instilled in him by his parents. Hear about his family's impact on his life and career, his reflections on depression, and his profound take on empathy in business and personal relationships.

Stay tuned as Mark shares his desire to spend 24 hours with Barack Obama, his appreciations for historical significance, and his personal health journey—including overcoming a stroke, which spurred his branding and podcast endeavors. This episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and heartfelt storytelling that you won’t want to miss. Grab your headphones and join us for an enlightening conversation with Mark on the Boss Uncaged Podcast!

Mark is a seasoned entrepreneur and leader with 30 years of experience in the business arena. As the founder and CEO of several companies, he has honed a deep understanding of what it takes to foster a vibrant company culture. Over the years, Mark has championed the core principles of trust, dedication, and engagement, and he's passionate about sharing this wisdom with others. In the last 15 years, Mark's expertise has enriched hundreds of organizations. He's not just a business guru; he's a catalyst for change, inspiring leaders to embrace the tenets of conscious leadership.

The cornerstone of a thriving organization is employee engagement. Such employees aren't just clocking hours; they're passionate, aligned with the company's vision, and devoted to its success. Engaged employees resonate with the company's core values, build profound connections with colleagues, and bring unmatched motivation to their roles. The ripple effects? Enhanced productivity, superior customer service, the ability to attract top-tier talent, and amplified profits.

Yet, a staggering 85% of employees report feeling disengaged at work. The underlying issue? A lack of conscious leadership. Mark's mission is to redirect this narrative and guide businesses towards building workplaces where every employee feels valued and invigorated.
