Why Financial Advisors Should Start a Podcast (And How to Make It Easy)

Let’s be honest, financial advice can feel intimidating. Most people don’t want to read long articles about compound interest or tax strategy. They want someone to explain money in a way that actually makes sense.

That’s exactly why podcasting is a perfect tool for financial advisors.

Whether you're a CFP, wealth manager, tax planner, or investment consultant, starting a podcast can help you grow your practice, build trust, and reach more potential clients, all without sounding salesy or overwhelming.

1. Build Credibility and Trust

When people hear your voice, they start to feel like they know you. A podcast gives you the chance to build relationships with listeners before they ever step into your office. Over time, they begin to see you not just as a financial expert, but as their financial expert.

And let’s face it, trust is everything in financial advising.

2. Explain Complex Topics in Plain Language

Podcasting lets you break down complicated subjects (like estate planning, market trends, or retirement strategies) in a friendly, accessible way. No jargon. No charts. Just useful, understandable advice people can actually use.

Bonus: you’ll spend less time repeating the same explanations to new clients, just send them an episode.

3. Attract New Clients (Without Hard Selling)

The beauty of podcasting is that it positions you as an expert without the pressure of pitching. People find you through search or referrals, listen to your episodes, and reach out when they’re ready. It’s marketing that feels like a conversation.

4. Stay Top of Mind

A regular podcast keeps you connected to your audience. Whether someone’s thinking about opening a 529 plan or wondering what to do in a market dip, your voice is already in their ears, making you the first person they think to call.
