Our special guest, Jeff Chase, Senior Vice President of Financial Planning at S.E.E.D. Planning Group, is back! In this episode, we're diving deep into financial planning and exposing financial advisors and professionals who might be more about sales than sound advice.

We'll break down how to distinguish experienced, qualified financial planners from those who are just in it for the commission—because when it comes to your financial future, you deserve a true professional, not just a salesperson.

We discuss how to find someone who’s not only got your back but also understands the game, helping you make sound decisions for your future. It's your money and life!

Takeaways:

• Navigating the financial world can feel like a treasure hunt with no map; we need to be wise and cautious about who we trust with our cash.
• A good financial advisor isn't just selling you products; they should be helping you level up in life and finances, like your personal finance Yoda.
• Don't let financial jargon trip you up; understanding your own money situation is more important than ever in this complicated world.
• The key to financial planning is more than just numbers; it's about helping clients prioritize their goals and navigate life's financial rollercoaster with empathy.
