>> My name is Tish Nostin [phonetic] and I am a financial advisor, senior financial advisor
and first vice president investments with Merrill Lynch.
Essentially what I do is I help people manage their investments.
I work with around 100 clients and businesses
and essentially help them determine what their financial goals are
and then work with them to help meet them.
Usually I have, I work with a number of families and so it's not uncommon for me to work with,
perhaps, even four or five generations of-- I have one family on my fifth generation.
So I would work with the families to help them manage their investments over their lifetimes
and actually in their children's lifetimes as well.
And the families are located all over the United States and including here locally.
Well I start my day every morning at or every weekday morning at five o'clock in the morning
and at 5:30 I'm on the tennis court.
So I start, I play tennis every weekday morning from 5:30 to 6:30 and on my way I head home
and then I, while I'm getting ready I watch business news and keep up on the markets
and what's going on overseas, anything
that might be affecting the earnings that day, the markets that day.
And then I head into work and from there I really work with those families
to handle whatever happens to come up during that day.
And it can be really varied and it's mostly about making their lives as easy as I can.
So I say my job is make it hard on me, make it easy on them.
So I want them to do nothing.
I want us to do everything that we can to allow them to spend their time doing something
that they love and if they love the financial part of it, the investment part of it then we do
that together and if they'd rather do less of that then we do less of that.
It's really-- It will vary according to their interest level.
