Jeremy Schneider returns to discuss his journey after selling his tech company, building a personal finance brand, and launching a new financial advisory platform.

Nectarine is a marketplace of flat-fee financial advisors with no commissions, no assets under management fees, just transparent pricing listed directly on the site. Jeremy explains how it works, who it’s actually for (and who probably doesn’t need it), and why he’s been building the whole thing in public.
