The Best Podcasts for Financial Advisors – Derek Notman’s Top 6

As a financial advisor, staying informed about industry trends, strategies, insights, and best practices is critical. With the fast-paced nature of the financial world, it can be challenging to keep up with all the latest developments. 

The financial industry & profession is constantly evolving, with new regulations, technologies, and thought leadership being introduced regularly. As a financial advisor, it’s essential to stay informed about these changes to remain competitive.

One of the most effective ways to keep up-to-date is by listening to podcasts. In this blog post, I’ll explore the best podcasts for you to stay informed and keep your skills sharp.

Why podcasts are beneficial for financial advisors

Podcasts are an excellent way to stay informed about the latest financial trends and pretty much anything related to our profession.  They enable you to make informed decisions for your clients, grow your business, and position yourself for where things are headed. This, in turn, helps you build stronger relationships with your clients, establish yourself as a credible and trustworthy financial advisor, and stay relevant in an ever evolving market.

Podcasts provide a convenient way to learn, allowing you to multitask while listening. You can listen to podcasts while commuting, working out, or doing other activities (anyone listened to a podcast while surfing??).   They’re an effective and efficient way to consume information on the go. 

Additionally, podcasts are a great source of inspiration and motivation. You can listen to industry experts and successful financial advisors sharing their experiences and insights, providing valuable knowledge and inspiration.
