Summary

Choosing the right financial advisor is a big decision; one that can have a major impact on your life. Unfortunately, not all financial advisors are created equal - and if you're not careful, it could cost you!

Today's guest, Brad Johnson is here to offer a unique perspective. Brad is the VP of Advisor Development at Advisors Excel (the largest independent insurance brokerage firm in the US) and coach to the biggest and brightest financial advisors in the country.

He's also the host of The Elite Advisor Blueprint® – a podcast for world-class financial advisors, whereby he distills the best advice from top thought leaders and applies it to the world of independent financial advising.

During this conversation, Brad pulls back the curtain and guides you through the process of selecting an independent financial advisor who is going to act in your best interests.
