The Power Couple

GGU: The Magazine of Golden Gate University just published their Spring issue with the cover story “The Power Couple”, which highlights Dave and Elissa and their team approach to teaching and living. The article takes you on a journey starting with how Dave and Elissa first met and how Yeske Buie evolved, to how this duo used their complementary skill sets to revamp the Cases in Financial Planning capstone class at GGU. It wraps up with a shared appreciation for how the work they do influences the minds and lives of their students and how this continues to inspire them on their mission to evangelize financial planning.

“It is truly one of the most special things, one of our favorite things that we participate in,” Buie says. “We love it. … When you see the transformation of these very well-educated, enthusiastic human beings coming in the front of the class, going out the back end of the class actually getting the magic of financial planning… It’s just beyond imagination.”

“The school,” says Yeske, “attracts motivated students who are open to deep learning and personal transformation and have been a joy to teach. Anyone entering GGU’s financial planning program becomes part of a very special learning community that offers tremendous opportunities for personal and professional growth.”
