Am I the only one who can't view posts with PDFs or PDF carousels?

Is this a LinkedIn thing, or a me thing? 

I haven't been able to see them for about a week. They just show up as a grey loading box.

They are working fine on mobile (in the app and the browser), but I can't see them at all when I'm on my laptop. 

I checked Reddit and it looks like it's not just me having this issue.

What about you? 

For those of you who use LinkedIn on a laptop or desktop computer, can you see PDF or PDF carousel posts in your feed?

The busy attorney's financial advisor | Putting your money where it matters most, so you can reduce your taxes today and tomorrow. Stop tipping Uncle Sam!

Hundreds of law firm owners have worked with me to cut their taxes, protect what they’ve built, and create financial freedom on their terms.

They call me The Wealth Guardian — because my superpower is helping attorneys keep more of what they earn and build a financial foundation that lasts.

Here’s what I see every day:

You’ve built a successful firm.
Clients are happy. Revenue’s strong.

But your tax bill? That’s another story.

Most attorneys don’t overpay because they’re careless.
They overpay because they’re too busy serving others to plan ahead for themselves.

That’s where I come in.

I help law firm owners simplify the complex — so they can stop tipping Uncle Sam and start building lasting wealth.

Our MPG System is built around three goals:
✅ Minimize taxes with proactive, law-firm-specific strategy
✅ Protect income and assets from hidden risks
✅ Grow wealth with clarity and confidence

We start with a simple belief: serve the person, not sell the product.
No cookie-cutter plans. No pressure. Just smart strategy that fits your life and your firm.

A little about me:
I’m a Chicago guy at heart, a lifelong baseball fan (had a little trouble with the curve), and now a Florida resident who still bleeds Blackhawks red. I’m also a proud dad to a physician assistant daughter and an active member of AHEPA, raising scholarship funds for local high school seniors.

Next step:
If you’re ready to see how smart tax and financial planning can create real freedom — let’s talk.
📩 Book a 20-minute Ask-Frank-Anything session — no pressure, just real insight.

P.S. You’re gonna love the way you feel when you stop tipping Uncle Sam.

Here's what your financial advisor isn't telling you

I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't say it.

Some people don't want to hear it.

Other people aren't expecting it.

You're hoping I'll ignore it.

We aren't like other financial advisors.

You might hire us to fix one problem, 
but we're gonna find the other three you didn't see coming.

You want a yes man? 
You want an order taker? 
You want someone that will just rollover?

Not here.

Why?

Because the last call I want is from a spouse that says
"I wished we talked about (x), or why didn't we ever do it?"

I've been on that call. It's not a good feeling.

So yeah, I'm gonna bring up the uncomfortable stuff.

The insurance conversation you're constantly avoiding. 
The tax strategy you haven't thought through. 
The estate plan that doesn't exist yet.

Not because I'm pushy.

Because I actually give a damn.

And if that's not what you're looking for, we're probably not the right fit.

But if you want someone who'll tell you the truth, 
protect what you've built, and actually care about your family's future?

We should talk.

Because the best kind of preparation is the kind that lets you sleep at night. That's peace of mind.

Let's have a discovery chat and see if we're a fit.

I'm Frank Rekas. Personal CFO for law firm owners.

We start with a person to serve, not a product to sell.

I'll get organized when things slow down.

That's what Bob told me in January.

Then March came. "After this trial wraps up, Frank."

June hit. "Summer's crazy. Let's circle back in the fall."

October rolled around. "Year-end is gonna be nuts. Let's do this in January."

And here we are again.

You know what never slowed down?

His tax bill. 
His insurance premiums. 
The mortgage on that building he bought three years ago.

Here's the thing about life:
Things don't slow down. 
You just keep getting older.

I've worked with enough law firm owners to know the pattern.

You're waiting for "someday" to get your finances in order.
Someday when the caseload lightens. 
Someday when you hire that next associate.

But someday isn't a date on the calendar.

And while you're waiting, you're overpaying taxes 
by five figures because your retirement plan is garbage. 

You're underinsured on the one asset that pays for everything.....you. 
And nobody in your firm knows what happens if you can't work tomorrow.

The law firm owners who are winning?

They don't wait for things to slow down. 
They carve out 20-30 minutes to see where they stand.

Not a three-hour financial planning marathon. 

Just 20-30 minutes to map out what's working and what's costing you.

Want to stop waiting and actually get organized?

Take my Financial Discovery. 

Message me "Discovery" and I'll send the link.

I'm Frank Rekas. 
We start with a person to serve, not a product to sell.

P.S. Things aren't going to slow down. 
But you can stop the bleeding.

“Are you motivated by the almighty dollar?”

He asked it like it was a test.

I was managing the Ace Hardware store at the time.

I left work early. Secretly too.

I changed into a suit in my car across the street from the building.

I wanted this opportunity.

He pointed to a skyscraper.

“See that building? 
Are you willing to start at the top floor and work your way down?”

I said yes.
The truth? I had no idea how I’d do it.

Then he leaned forward and asked it:
“The almighty dollar" question.

I said no.
Not really.

I don’t remember exactly what I said after that.

I just remember how I felt.

And I didn’t get the job.
At the time, that really stung.

Looking back on it though? It was defining.

Because I’ve never been in love with money.

I’ve always been in love with what money makes possible.

Security.
Freedom.
Options.

Time with people you care about.
Building something that lasts.

Does money matter? Of course.

But it’s never been the thing I love.

And over the years, I’ve noticed something:
The best clients I work with aren’t in love with money either.

They’re in love with building a firm that matters.

Creating stability for their family.

Designing a life that doesn’t feel like one long billing cycle.

On Valentine’s Day, that feels worth saying.

What are you building — wealth… or a life?

Have you ever not gotten something… and later realized it shaped everything?
Happy Valentine’s Day.
