Michael Kitces on The Digital Well Podcast, from the Morningstar Investment Conference 2014

The Morningstar Investment Conference was held in Chicago last week at McCormick Place. From the live traffic as well as the trending hashtag on Twitter, this was a successful event! Talk about good fortune – we also caught up with Michael Kitces, who is on the road perpetually. We nabbed him after he completed several speaking appearances. After a harrying trip in courtesy of airline delays and storms – he powered up with Starbucks and sat in the Social Media Lounge for some discussion about his latest business developments and more.
