Brian Preston, CPA, CFP®, PFS

Founder, Host, CEO

Brian Preston is the founder and host of The Money Guy Show and Managing Partner and co-founder of Abound Wealth Management (an RIA with around $1 billion in assets under management). With over 25 years of financial planning experience, he loves helping people implement simple financial strategies that go beyond common sense. He started podcasting as a passion project in 2006 out of pure enthusiasm for this new medium that allowed him to share the good news of financial strategy with the masses. Fast forward to today, and The Money Guy Show is its own enterprise, helping millions of individuals build wealth and own their time through podcasts, YouTube videos, courses, social media posts, and more.

Brian's “Why”

Born of humble beginnings himself, Brian’s personal finance experience went from pinching pennies on a $7 date to eventually becoming independently wealthy, clear on his purpose, enjoying the entirety of his life, and laying down a compulsion to accumulate wealth solely for its own sake. The advice he gives every day was borne out of his own experience and the journey he’s undertaken to create abundance. He believes anyone can find financial success by applying simple financial strategies. He is living proof of that belief—as are so many Money Guy followers.

Personal Life

Brian lives in Franklin, TN with his wife, two daughters, and spunky dog, Lilly. When he’s not busy making the wonderful world of finance accessible to the public, you can find him watching the latest movies, traveling with family and friends, and cheering for the University of Georgia Bulldogs.

Brian is notorious for his enneagram 7 personality, bold sense of humor, love of all things Disney, and organized chaos.

Things you didn't know about Brian:

  • He worked throughout college as a bus driver at UGA. He kept his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) until he moved to Tennessee in 2016.
  • Brian’s father was Steve Spurrier’s left tackle at the University of Florida. Ask Brian to see his 1967 Orange Bowl watch or other memorabilia he has on display in his office to remember his late father, John.
  • Brian is a huge Disney fan. He has always been inspired by the relationship between the Disney brothers, Walt and Roy, and continues to draw inspiration from Walt’s pervasive philosophy of “plussing” whatever project was put in front of him, leaving it better than he left it.
