Jim DaffinOur first guest today is Jim Daffin, Wealth Management Advisor, Northwestern Mutual – Cincinnati. He will discuss the difference between Financial Planning and Wealth Management. The terms “financial planning” and “wealth management” are often used interchangeably, but some key differences are important to understand. Financial planning is, at its heart, about creating a plan an individual or family can follow to reach their financial goals. As such, financial planning largely focuses on setting goals and creating a plan to get you there. On the other hand, wealth management is the art and science of managing wealth.

After graduating from Miami University, Jim started his business affiliated with Northwestern Mutual in 2008. He genuinely enjoys helping clients with their overall tax strategy and working through their financial puzzles. Jim is married and has three sons. He loves giving back to his community and attending local sports events. For more information, please visit www.northwesternmutual.com

 


Scott Kurtzman MDOur next guest is Dr. Scott Kurtzman, a surgeon who is a leader of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers at the American College of Surgeons, he will discuss how pandemic-related delays in mammography will likely lead to more cancer-related deaths in the coming years, and why it’s critical for anyone who has put off a mammogram during the pandemic to get their screening completed soon. Catching breast cancer early is typically a key to increasing a person’s survival rate and outcome. It’s critical that anyone who has missed a mammogram during the pandemic return to screening as soon as possible. While the long-term impact of delayed cancer screenings is still unknown, surgeons remain concerned, urging women to stay vigilant and up to date on their mammograms.  Dr. Kurtzman is a surgical oncologist specializing in breast, soft tissue sarcomas, and skin melanomas. As part of his training, he completed a surgical oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He is a co-author of the study published in Cancer, citing declines in cancer screening during the early months of the pandemic. For more information, please visit www.facs.org/cancer-screening.
