Peter is a Chartered Financial Analyst, firm owner, author, speaker, podcast host, and chief investment officer of Plancorp, LLC, a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor in St. Louis overseeing over $6 billion of assets for clients around the country. Peter joins me on the show to talk about a variety of topics around investing that apply to an optometric practice owner.
