Good morning.

After the year we’ve been through, the last thing anyone needs to worry about is having an unlucky Friday the 13th.

So we’re doing our part this morning to flip traditional superstitions on their head and make this a lucky day for a few of our readers.

Are you feeling lucky? 😎

We’ll start by announcing the 4 lucky winners of last week’s giveaway for followers of our Wealthtender LinkedIn page. Congratulations to Kate F, Mike C, Scott K and Samira S who each won a $50 Amazon Gift Card!

And this week, we’re excited to reward a few lucky tweeters out there for helping us get the word out about our new Guide to Top Financial Coaches. Details below!

Enjoy this week’s newsletter featuring a mix of recommended reads and listens from our growing network of financial professionals and educators. There’s a little something for just about everyone.
