As 2024 comes to a close, it is a time of reflection on the year… and leaves me so thankful once again to all of you, the ever-growing number of readers who continue to regularly visit this Nerd’s Eye View Blog (and share the content with your friends and colleagues, which we greatly appreciate!).
We recognize (and appreciate!) that this blog – its articles and podcasts – is a regular habit for tens of thousands of advisors… and that the sheer length of our articles and podcasts means that not everyone has the time or opportunity to read every blog post or listen to every podcast that is released throughout the year. Nor do we expect everyone to read and listen to everything – thus why we make the titles and headlines as clear as possible, so you can decide for yourself what to invest your time into (and skip the rest)! However, this does mean that an article once missed is often never seen again, ‘overwritten’ (or at least bumped out of your inbox!) by the next day’s, week’s, and month’s worth of content that comes along.
Accordingly, just as we did last year, and in 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014, we’ve compiled for you this Highlights List of our top 24 articles in 2024 that you might have missed, along with a few of our most popular episodes of “Kitces & Carl” and the “Financial Advisor Success” podcasts. So whether you’re new to the blog – and #FASuccess (and Kitces & Carl) podcasts –and haven’t searched through the Archives yet, or simply haven’t had the time to keep up with everything, I hope that some of these will (still) be useful for you! And, as always, I hope you’ll also take a moment to share podcast episodes and articles of interest with your friends and colleagues!
Don’t miss our Annual Guides as well – including our list of the 18 Best Financial Advisor Conferences To Attend in 2025, the ever-popular annual 2024 Reading List of Best Books For Financial Advisors, and our increasingly popular Financial Advisor “FinTech” Solutions Map and AdvisorTech Directory!
In the meantime, I hope you’re having a safe and happy holiday season. Thanks again for the opportunity to serve you in 2024, and I hope you enjoy all the new features and resources we’ll be rolling out in 2025 (and beyond!), too! Stay tuned for our State-of-the-Blog update in January with more details of what’s to come!
