"Thanks for joining me and listening to the “From Pies to Prosperity Podcast”... the place to be to accelerate your financial success and simplify your life.

I’m Cooper Casillas, your host, your Certified Financial Planning Professional, and your partner in wealth...

Tying all that together is why I have named the Podcast “From Pies to Prosperity”. I think we can all remember a past of cheap frozen pizzas... and actually some of us might still be in that phase and that’s okay, I’ll admit I can always go for a solid frozen pie. But, the point here is. Let’s move past those days... let’s keep them in the rearview window, let’s steer towards a better tomorrow... Let’s steer towards prosperity."
