8moA very thorough and important article you've written, Ivy Hesse, CFA, CIPM! Cultural context is such a fundamental part of the adviser-client relationship, that I feel most advisers lack either because they haven't lived through it themselves, or haven't taken the time to research. I especially like your point around modular design - creating financial education that can be adapted to address specific community needs, whilst maintaining its scaleability. Do you have a good example of this?
