Welcome to Live from 495 — where real conversations meet real impact. Today, we're joined by AJ Lemarier is a financial planner with Commonwealth Financial Group, the Boston-based, MassMutual-affiliated firm that serves more than 95,000 clients and builds customized plans rather than one-size-fits-all products. His approach was shaped early by watching what a well-chosen policy meant for his own family during a crisis — an experience that pushed him toward hardworking business owners who are busy building something and rarely stop to protect it. In this episode, AJ joins us to talk about financial confidence, what most small business owners get wrong about planning, and why the right advisor is a relationship, not a transaction. Securities, investment advisory services and financial planning are offered through qualified registered representatives of MML Investors Services, LLC, Member SIPC (www.sipc.org (-> urldefense.com)).
