goRIA On-Location with Robert Levitt (March 2025)

I recently had the pleasure of discussing a fascinating and often overlooked niche in the financial world: the unique challenges and opportunities facing U.S. citizens who are fiscal residents in Europe with @Charles "Chuck" Failla for the goRIA powered by InvestmentNews podcast at the @T3 Conference.
