Episode 029: How to Interview Your Next Financial Advisor

On the show today:

By end of the show, you are going to have an incredible understanding of how financial advisors are paid, common fees you can expect, and what you should not be paying for at all.

My Guest on the Show…

“Seth” – my very own financial advisor comes on the show to say what most advisors won’t. Since most professionals in the financial industry are so highly regulated, “Seth” agreed to come on the show if we kept his identity a secret.

Now that he’s anonymous, he is able to drop a ton of value including what you should be asking your advisor, how fees are structured, and some of the biggest mistakes he sees new clients make.

As a BONUS, this episode comes with a PDF Cheat Sheet I asked “Seth” create, which will come in very handy when you’re getting ready to interview your next advisor.
