Today, Jesse is joined by Don McDonald to offer a critical examination of the financial advising and annuity industries, warning retirees and near-retirees about misleading sales tactics that exploit fear - especially the fear of market losses. They emphasize the importance of working with fee-only, fiduciary advisors who are legally obligated to act in clients' best interests, in contrast to commission-based salespeople who often obscure fees, misrepresent guarantees, and use charm to build trust. Drawing from Jason Zweig's “19 Questions to Ask Your Financial Advisor,” Jesse highlights key criteria for evaluating advisors, including transparency, credentials, investment philosophy, and service scope. They condemn opaque fee structures, sales contests, and annuity marketing tactics - like steak dinners that pressure attendees into high-commission products - and describe most annuities as complex, wealth-threatening vehicles. Jesse adds practical suggestions like inquiring about an advisor's succession plan, communication style, and client load, and stresses the value of education and evidence-based investing. The two advocate for comprehensive financial planning and alignment of advisor-client interests, with Don underscoring the importance of commitment to honesty, transparency, and fiduciary duty. Key Takeaways:• Annuity and investment salespeople often exploit retirees' fear of losing money in market downturns to sell high-fee products. • While there are niche use cases, many annuity products are expensive, opaque, and designed to benefit the seller more than the buyer. • You need to know what happens to your financial relationship if your advisor retires or leaves. • State-level oversight often fails to protect consumers from misleading practices. • Know the difference between moral fiduciary responsibility and legal fiduciary responsibility. • It's a red flag if an advisor recommends products they wouldn't use for themselves.

Episode Summary:In a world dominated by digital platforms, Urban Adams offers a refreshingly human approach to financial advising. With 25 years in the industry and a philosophy grounded in stoicism, Urban helps clients balance enjoying the present while planning for the future. His new book, "Wealth Your Way," challenges traditional mindsets about wealth accumulation, advocating instead for an intentional, values-driven approach. Urban shares how he applies stoic principles to help clients navigate financial uncertainty, why he maintains a high-touch service model in the digital age, and how his experience as a father of three daughters has shaped his approach to serving women clients. From comprehensive planning strategies to emotional decision-making during market volatility, Urban offers insights that emphasize the human side of financial advising.About the Guest:Urban Adams entered the financial industry in 1999, just before Y2K. After spending years in back-office operations for a large broker-dealer, he launched his own practice 13 years ago. Based in the Phoenix area, Urban serves clients across all U.S. time zones and has acquired two practices from retiring advisors, both of whom were women.Key Concepts Explained:Stoicism in Financial Planning: Urban applies stoic principles to help clients embrace financial uncertainty. Rather than fearing market volatility or unknown lifespans, he encourages clients to make peace with ambiguity while making intentional choices about their resources.Present vs. Future Balance: One of Urban's core philosophies challenges the "unending accumulation of wealth" mindset. He shares a poignant story about clients who took a European vacation he helped plan, only for one spouse to pass away unexpectedly six months later - reinforcing the importance of not endlessly deferring life experiences.Comprehensive Financial Planning: Urban defines this as going beyond investment management to include tax planning (current and future), estate planning, risk management (life and long-term care insurance), and income planning (Social Security and pensions). He notes that focusing solely on investments is like planning a trip without considering the mode of transportation or timeframe.High-Touch Approach: Urban differentiates himself by being exceptionally accessible - answering his own phone during business hours and being willing to assist with decisions beyond strict financial matters. He's helped clients shop for electronics, asked tough questions about real estate transactions, and even supported widowed clients navigating the dating world.Practical Takeaways:Emotional Decision-Making: Urban prepares clients for market downturns at the beginning of relationships, telling them exactly what questions he'll ask when markets decline. This proactive approach helped his clients stay invested during COVID-19 market drops.Tax Planning Strategy: Rather than focusing solely on current tax situations, Urban helps clients build tax-free wealth through Roth contributions and conversions. He explains to clients that a million-dollar traditional IRA isn't truly worth a million after taxes are considered.Gender-Inclusive Advising: Drawing from his experience raising three daughters and coaching female athletes, Urban ensures both partners in couples are equally engaged in financial discussions. He also emphasizes helping clients (particularly women) achieve financial independence.Connect with Urban:Website: urbanadams.comBook: "Wealth Your Way" (available on Amazon)Support the show

In today's episode of the Financial Coach Academy Podcast, we're going to answer another burning question: is financial coaching different from financial advising? The short answer is YES. While both financial coaches and financial advisors are needed in the world, financial advisors are future-focused. A financial advisor will run a variety of scenarios and your likelihood of financial success based on your investment strategies, rate of return, risk tolerance, asset allocation, and portfolio. Then they help you execute a strategy based on that future vision by helping you buy and sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles. They also will monitor your portfolio and keep a focus on asset protection, but all of this is from a 50,000 foot view. In contrast, financial coaches help people with their money NOW. This can get complex depending on what the client's unique financial situation looks like. We strive to focus on the whole person – not just the financial side of their life, diving into the reasons behind their financial habits so that we can create lasting change. At the end of the day, we both help people do better and feel more confident about their money.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook group
