In this episode, we are talking to Matt Foxhall about the “why” behind his career as a financial advisor. He’s sharing:
A 2003 Furman University graduate and Furman Division 1 soccer player, Matt joined AXA Advisors in San Antonio, Texas, in 2004. During his time with AXA, he built a successful financial planning practice and took the leadership path to become an EVP in 2015. That year, he was awarded AXA’s Rookie of the Year, a national award for the strongest performance among branch offices. He joined the 49 Financial team to open the Jacksonville, Florida office in March 2022.
Matt is keenly focused on empowering and building a culture of high expectations, hard work, and high reward. Perhaps a natural result of this approach is a strong team culture that can’t be touched.
