About Me

Hi, I'm John Boyd. Before starting MDRN, I was the youngest lead advisor in the Ultra Affluent division at one of the largest brokerage firms in the country. I was tasked with leading an investment advisory and financial planning practice of roughly half a billion in assets under management.

My experience working with the Ultra Affluent served as a catalyst for the idea to extend the same comprehensive strategies and services to clients like yourself. Typically, the ultra wealthy have privileged access to top-tier investment management, estate planners, tax advisors, and more. MDRN was founded with the vision of democratizing these high-level services and simplifying the process by offering a convenient one-stop shop for our clients.

At MDRN, we truly believe we are changing the level of service the industry provides, and we hope you become part of the movement.

John Boyd, the CEO of MDRN is one of the kindest and most understanding individuals I have had the pleasure of seeking advice from. He met with me for an hour, and in that time we discussed my financial goals and developed a plan to execute. In full transparency, I would not have known what to do without MDRN's council and I am so grateful to have their guidance. John is 10/10, his team is 10/10, and their services are 10/10. I will recommend them to every UHNW client that I support.

John has been a critical partner in my growth as a person building wealth, solving financial issues (loans, debt management, etc) professional goals (starting a business, how to manage investments in that while living my life). He has taught me SO much, and I fully trust him. His attitude is knowledgeable, kind, NOT shamey (a lot of financial investors won't work with you if your finances are messy or if you don't make a certain amount of $), and personable. I have sent a lot of friends/professional contacts to John, and everyone only has positive things to say about him. He really invests in the people he works with, is insanely smart, explains complex financial decisions using understandable language and weighs trade offs, and is always prepared, professional, and clear on calls. He is available and really works to understand goals, changes in goals, and long term and short term moves. He has also advised me on a few professional moves which has been so helpful, and helps me understand where my money is going and why the decisions are being made. He also knows a lot about taxes, estate planning, and just general helpful stuff. I can't say enough positive things about John. Investing in John was a huge investment in myself and my future, and I am happy to continue growing with him.

John is a fantastic advisor and so professional, kind, and helpful! Coming from someone who has a very limited understanding of financial planning he was able to elucidate what I need to do in my financial journey to meet my goals and give me tools and resources to move in the right direction. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for help in their financial journey as well!

John and the MDRN team are awesome! They are a full service, well-oiled machine, and you would be crazy not to work with him. We’ve been working with John several months now and during that time he has brought a tremendous about knowledge, strategy, and planning into our lives which was WELL overdue. He is very professional, responsive, caring, and is truly an expert in his field. As a bonus, he also has a great network of people to help connect the dots for his client. For example, we needed a new CPA and John was able to bridge that for us. It’s the little things. We appreciate all that he has done for our family and our business. I truly feel like we have a solid plan in place, and we feel grateful to have John at our side. We look forward to continuing our partnership with him in the years to come.

I've been working with John for a year, and he has been an expert in guiding me through the retirement process. We began our partnership a few months before I retired, and he helped me seamlessly transition from employer-held accounts to brokerage accounts. John responds quickly every time I reach out with a question, no matter how inconsequential. John's recommendations have created a stable yet growing financial position, and alleviated a lot of anxiety about the future. I appreciate John's knowledge, patience, and forward-thinking as we continue to work together.

I've never been great with my finances. Not irresponsible, necessarily, but I never felt like I had a full understanding of the big picture or the choices I should be making. John Boyd has been my savior. I have a much better understanding of, not only what I should be doing, but why. He makes things incredibly easy and is a joy to work with. I legitimately look forward to our meetings because I alway leave with greater peace of mind. I can't recommend MDRN Wealth enough.

John is incredible to work with. He explains everything thoroughly to make sure we understand, and is always happy to answer our random questions that we send him through email, or jump on a call to have a chat. When we first were onboarding with MDRN Wealth, we met with John every week to get everything squared away and he made us feel very comfortable and confident to work with him - something that's very important when you're trusting someone with your money! We really appreciate everything John has done for us, and we'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fee-only financial planner!

I first came to know about John while reading an article in Forbes. John’s quotes were the only genuine thoughts on the investment strategy listed in the article. It caught my attention. I was seeking a new financial planner and decided to reach out to him. I’m a business executive myself, so quite familiar with realizing if somebody is either full of it, or really knows what they’re talking about. After our first conversation, I was very impressed with John and felt that he had true expertise. He took his time and invested energy into preparing for that first meeting. Fast forward several months later and we are very happy clients of his. He has extended support, not only to traditional retirement, but also cash planning and even tax planning. My ultimate goal was to have one person I could work with who could speak to my entire financial portfolio, and I truly believe John has the ability to do that. We highly recommend him.

I had the wonderful experience of having John as an advisor for a short period. John is one of the most compassionate, caring, empathetic, and wonderful people to have ever worked with. He cared so very much with his heart regarding my financial situation, and helping me to not feel so much stress. The experience was just so wonderful to have somebody care as much as he did. He just always said the word “we “. It made me feel as if I had a teammate and it was wonderful.

Having now worked with John for more than two months, I can say that he exceeded all my expectations as a financial advisor. From the moment my husband and I reached out to him, we could sense his professionalism and genuine interest in helping us achieve our financial goals. He took the time to understand our financial situation and crafted a personalized plan tailored to my needs. His expertise and knowledge in wealth management are truly remarkable. Importantly, what sets John apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. In my experience, he goes above and beyond to ensure that the clients have a clear understanding of every aspect of their financial plan. Secondly, he understand the importance of a personal touch and makes himself available to answer any and all of our questions and concerns. Overall, my experience with John and MDRN Wealth has been exceptional. I am grateful to have found such a trustworthy and skilled financial advisor. Thank you, John, for your outstanding service! I highly recommend John from MDRN Wealth to anyone seeking financial guidance and wealth management services.

Tried this place through great reviews on Reddit, and I am so very happy that I did! I am in my 60s and worried about retiring. Meeting and working with John has been a God-sent. From the very start, he put me at ease and helped me set some goals. He carries a very personable demeanor and breaks down all the finance jargon into understandable language. If you are looking for a financial advisor, this is the place to go to.

Working with John at MDRN Wealth has been such a pleasure. We interviewed a lot of different financial planners and John was by far the standout candidate when considering who to bring along on our financial journey. He is incredibly hard working, very knowledgeable, a wonderful guy to talk to, and he shows a keen interest in what's important to you on a personal and financial level. We're already seeing the benefits of working with John and can't wait to continue build together. His combination of tried-and-trust financial planning techniques and tech products to provide a unique, full customer experience is a huge positive. Could not recommend John and MDRN Wealth more highly!

He’s hard-working, very responsive and truly a counselor with empathy.

MDRN Wealth has been fantastic through and through. I greatly appreciate the whole concept of simple terms, solid advice, robust tech. John is extremely responsive and helpful. He's super hard worker and deeply cares for his customers. I'm in my early 30s and live in Oklahoma. I could be working with a local financial adviser/planner, but I decided to go with John after extensive online research and a couple of initial conversations, in which I quickly realized his depth of expertise, but also noticed he understood my risk appetite and way of thinking. My only regret is not having started working with John earlier. Thanks and keep up the great work!

John took over management of a large portion of my portfolio last quarter and after working with larger advisory firms solely until then, I wasn’t quite sure what what to expect. Today, I’m happy to have trusted John and MDRN Wealth with my money as I’m seeing green in my portfolio for the first time this year! More specifically, working with an independent advisory firm like MDRN Wealth has felt more like a partnership than a client-advisor relationship - something I’ve never experienced when working with larger firms. After every conversation, I feel more empowered with personal financial knowledge, while also having clear goals outlined to be reviewed during our next conversation. Overall, his openness, attention-to-detail, and hands-on, modern approach to Wealth Management are a true embodiment of what John and MDRN Wealth stand for, and I look forward to seeing how our partnership (and my money!) grows from here. P.S. John has even provided more tax help than I normally get from my long-term CPA!

I am so grateful to have had connected with John. I have shied away from getting a financial advisor but he reached out to let me know he would help me. As Youth it's important to have someone who has plenty of experience and wise advice to advise you early on, so you are not only stable but successful in the future financially. John is that someone. I learned so much in just one virtual meeting with him. I look forward to growing with John, not only financially but as a Young adult.

I found MDRN Wealth through Reddit, of all places. I struck up a conversation there with John, and that evolved into a couple of video calls where we basically interviewed each other over a few hours and learned what each of our philosophies, priorities and goals are. It became evident pretty quickly that we were a good fit. I am sure that my account is not the biggest account under MDRN Wealth management by any stretch of the imagination, but the level of interest and care exhibited by John has been nothing short of extraordinary. Couple that with the sleek and powerful web platform that MDRN Wealth uses (Altruist) to track and monitor my account progress, I couldn't be happier. It's hands-down the best asset management tool that I've used. It took me just a minute to make the decision to pull my accounts from of the various places that they were and place them with MDRN Wealth, but now I'm only kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

I’ve known and followed John’s career for years since his early-career days at Schwab. And I’m so happy seeing John thrive in this entrepreneurial endeavor doing what he’s most passionate about – making financial planning accessible for many others! John made the discovery conversation very easy and took the time to ask important questions to truly understand how my financial health and needs can align with major life goals. He also covered many topics that I’ve shied away from, such as tax planning and investment, with a very easy-to-understand approach. Having recruited and spoken with many advisors before, I knew that I could trust John’s expertise and financial planning guidance to help me achieve my goals. I’d highly recommend John and MDRN Wealth to anyone, no matter what asset level you have or how complex your financial planning needs might be. Know that you’re in truly capable hands! 😊

First time in my life I actually feel at peace with my finances. John covered everything from investments, my retirement, my estate plan and even taxes. Love how I get to use alternatives that other advisors that I have worked with in the past have never discussed. The client interface when I login to see my investments is by far the best. If you’re hesitant about working with a financial planner, John and the MDRN Wealth team will completely change your mind, I know mine was!
