2021 Finance Awards Honoree: Eric P. Zeitlin

As co-founder and managing director of Provenance Wealth Advisors (PWA), Eric Zeitlin has developed an exceptional process of integrating holistic financial planning solutions through a teamwork approach. His extensive knowledge and diverse experience in wealth management, business succession, estate structuring and multi-generational planning have enabled clients to accumulate wealth, protect against risk and create a legacy. He specializes in navigating complicated business and estate structures.

Favorite Quote: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

Fun Fact: I raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide educational opportunities for underserved kids through Take Stock in Children, where I’m a past board member and event chairman. I also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the fight against cancer as a board member of the Dolphins Challenge Cancer event each year. I’ve coached 15 youth basketball teams over a seven-year time frame.

What challenges have you faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? Finding and retaining talent – we overcame by intentionally focusing on employees and becoming a best place to work. Other challenges include starting the firm, navigating growth and talent, infrastructure and capabilities to stay ahead of the curve. We overcame it by focusing on culture and hiring the right talent. We work hard to create a great environment for our firm members.

What has been the most monumental moment of your career thus far? Winning Best Places to Work for Investment Advisors the first time and our 20th anniversary celebration in 2020.

What’s the one piece of financial advice you regret not taking? Not buying more of the FANG stocks in their early years.

What’s the biggest financial mistake most people make? Not looking at all aspects of their financial life in coordination with one another. Investments, business, estate, tax and insurance all need to be tied to a strategy that takes each tactic into account.

How do you get first-time investors to alter their thinking on investing? Education and knowledge increase confidence and changes risk profiles. Statistics and probabilities help drive peoples’ comfort level. As people become more knowledgeable and better understand the probabilities of success and failure, it changes their risk profile and comfort level of investing.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
