How has financial advice changed over the past 20 years? Why is long-term client care more valuable than closing a one-time deal? And what separates a trusted financial advisor from someone who simply sells financial products?

In the latest episode of Beyond Advisory, we sat down with Alča Lodlová, a private financial advisor who has been in the industry since 2006. Today, she supports more than 1,100 active clients and manages over 10,000 financial contracts. Our conversation explores her journey from selling life insurance policies to becoming a trusted financial partner, building relationships founded on expertise, trust, and long-term client care.
