How does a latecomer to financial advice generate leads from her cooking show? That’s the curious case of Shelley Nadel, CFP. She is the founder of Financial Success Strategies and Food and Finance.
What makes Shelley so interesting to me is that she’s combined 2 passions, food and finance, into a television-quality show that includes location shoots like Barcelona and Marrakesh Morroco and it’s filmed on an iPhone.
So today we’ll talk about how she got started in video and media. And How she got so comfortable on camera.
I really enjoyed talking to Shelley. She is a bundle of energy and connects with people like she is your next-door neighbor.
We also talk about How she got the idea for food and finance and How it‘s become the only lead source she needs. She also shares some insight on how any advisor could create a unique media presence of their own.

And the Kosher Chicken Pot Pie recipe that started it all. Shelley suggests you substitute fresh green beans and celery and fresh carrots for the frozen stuff and she adds twice the chicken.
