George Nichols III, currently the 10th President and CEO of The American College of Financial Services, has thought a lot about the meaning of wealth during his impressive career.

In addition to leading the American College for more than six years, Nichols has been marketing director for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kentucky, the Kentucky insurance commissioner, the president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and an executive vice president at New York Life Insurance Company.

As Nichols tells ThinkAdvisor Senior Reporter John Manganaro on this episode of the Ask the Retirement Expert podcast, this rich blend of experiences has shown that wealth means a lot of different things to different people — and there is no doubt that one's cultural background informs how they think about the meaning of money and retirement.

During the episode Nichols and Manganaro discuss the importance of educating and supporting a diverse industry of financial planners, as well as the big opportunities available for young people and career changers in the world of wealth management. Other topics include:

  • Why the American College is boosting its tax-focused curriculum.
  • How diverse cultural perspectives can be incorporated into wealth management.
  • The importance of strong leadership and more.
