In this episode of The Retirement Fiduciary, host Adam Koos takes listeners on a deep dive into the often murky world of financial planning and investing. Adam sheds light on some of the most misunderstood aspects of working with financial and investment "specialists" and how easily unsuspecting investors can fall prey to deceptive practices. He provides a candid discussion on the pitfalls of commission-based services, the dangers of "churning" and "reverse churning", and the risk of being sold inappropriate insurance policies.

Adam also exposes some of the more sinister tactics used by unscrupulous advisors, including creative Ponzi schemes and the push for proprietary investments or insurance products. By demystifying these concepts, Adam aims to equip the audience with the knowledge to recognize and avoid these common traps. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to protect their financial future and ensure they are working with a truly fiduciary advisor who has their best interests at heart.
