In this episode of The Wealth Clock with Steven Weinstock, I sit down with Samuel Harnish, founder of Quantitative Financial Strategies. We cover everything from his early obsession with finance to his time at PIMCO and a leading multifamily office. He breaks down what tax-aware investing really means, why after-tax returns matter more than flashy headlines, and how he’s using social media to grow his business and reach clients.

We also compare notes on what it’s like to start a business in your twenties, the shift from DIY investing to building teams, and how trust is everything when raising capital or managing wealth.
