Financial Advisors and Financial Vultures - EP. 178

In this episode, Travis Maus and Jess Blake get into a topic that’s way too common — financial vultures. You know, the ones who circle around when you’re unsure, overwhelmed, or just trying to do the right thing with your money.

They break down how these predators operate, why so many people fall for slick sales pitches, and what you can do to protect yourself. From illiquid investments and annuities to the emotional traps we don’t even realize we’re stepping into — it’s all on the table.

They also talk about why understanding your own financial picture matters way more than chasing the next “hot” product, and how building a team you actually trust can make all the difference.

Bottom line? If you’ve ever felt unsure about who’s really looking out for you — this one’s for you.
