Welcome to the OnlyFinance Podcast

In this episode, Minh Vo and Dr. John Osborn dive deep into the financial markets, unpacking the big questions everyone is asking: Where is the stock market heading? Are we due for another correction? And how should everyday investors think about inflation, tariffs, interest rates, and new opportunities like AI and alternative investments?

With John’s decades of expertise (and a long list of credentials to match!) and Minh’s practical insights, this conversation blends professional analysis with approachable explanations—breaking down complex market movements into lessons you can actually use.

👉 Why watch? You’ll walk away with:

• A clearer understanding of how market corrections work

• Insights on interest rates, inflation, and where the economy may be heading

• Strategies for diversification beyond just stocks and bonds

• Practical reminders on asset allocation, risk, and year-end planning

This isn’t just market talk—it’s real-world financial guidance for investors who want to make smarter decisions.

What’s it really like to leave the broker-dealer world and become an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA)? In this episode, Minh Vo sits down with Brett Cristiano of Verus Financial Group to talk about his personal experience making the transition. Brett opens up about what motivated the move, the pros and cons he’s discovered along the way, and how becoming an RIA has impacted both his clients and his career.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to break away from a traditional firm, what the RIA landscape looks like, or whether this path might be a good fit for your practice, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Brett shares honest insights, lessons learned, and advice for financial planners considering their next move.
