Your Financial Plan with Jeff Harper: Recent Episodes

Jeff Harper

Jeff Harper’s Podcast, Your Financial Plan, covers a wide range of topics and current financial issues that appeal to investors with a diversified investment portfolio or those who are just starting to invest. Jeff answers questions sent to him by his listening audience and he provides clear examples to illustrate various issues and solutions.

Jeff had such a demand for podcasting that he decided to transition his weekly Chicago Radio Show to a podcast to allow his listeners to tune in at any time to learn some key investment strategies in these uncertain times.
