Wealth kick #7: Looking for a man in finance

When do you stop going it alone with your money—and start getting advice? How do you know if you actually need a financial advisor, and how do you find one you can trust? In the final episode of the Wealth Kick, we’re talking about what happens when DIY can only get you so far. We cover when it makes sense to bring in professional help, what green flags (and red flags) to look for in an advisor, and how good advice can give you clarity, confidence, and momentum. Financial advisors Billy and Ed Glennie share what you should expect from a first meeting, Reagan White explains why an objective third set of eyes changed everything for him, and Sharesies co-CEO Brooke Roberts joins us to wrap up the series with a broader take on what “wealth” really means. This is the seventh and final episode of the Wealth Kick, a limited series to change your perspective on money for the new year. Until the end of January, we’re serving up a little financial soul-searching, easy exercises you can use anywhere, and a few wacky stories.
