Imagine trying to fire your financial advisor professionally, only to find out 30 minutes later he drove to your parents house and taped an all-caps letter to their front door telling them they’d be "nothing without him."

On this episode, I’m talking to Ryan, a Market Hustle community member who lived through every investor’s worst nightmare. He trusted a "pro" for 15 years, only to wake up at 34 and realize he was being bled dry by 5.75% front-load fees and "conflict of interest" funds...

If your money feels scattered, your system probably is too. StackLedger.io gives you one clear view!

A common myth in investing is that more diversification is always better.

Many investors (especially new ones) fall into the trap of becoming an "ETF collector."

They hear about a dividend fund, a tech ETF, and a real estate fund, and they add them all to their portfolio, thinking they're being "safe."

But what they're really doing is watering down their growth.

In this solo episode, I break down the difference between being an "ETF collector" and an "intentional investor."
