Alex Macfarlane is a financial advisor that has worked with hundreds of business owners, individuals, and families. While assisting clients with investing, business planning, and retirement planning, he realized that there was a major missing piece of education that few financial advisors spoke about: understanding emotions and mindsets around money. With this realization, Alex shifted his practice and started incorporating Zen and Buddhist mindfulness techniques while simultaneously helping clients with budgeting, investing, and planning. After helping clients tap into their subconscious fears and feelings around money, he found them finding peace and acceptance in their everyday lives. Money became less of a weight, and more of a source of love.

The program he teaches - The Zen of Finance - is based on connecting to yourself and lovingly accepting your present circumstances, whatever they might be, as the basis for generating the abundance and wealth you desire. "Being present is the basis for all manifestation. By finding peace and acceptance in the moment you are in, you begin to access your full abilities and are able to bring your deepest desires to the surface."
