Listen Later

In this episode of The Smarter Planner Podcast, host Belle Osvath, CFP®, welcomes David Keller, CMT, President and Chief Strategist at Sierra Alpha Research, a boutique investment research and consulting firm. David is also a CNBC contributor and the host of the Market Misbehavior YouTube channel and podcast, where he helps investors and advisors better understand market behavior through technical analysis and storytelling.

With a unique background blending finance, psychology, and creative storytelling, David shares how he built a business around content creation and why video, podcasts, and social media are becoming essential tools for advisors looking to build trust and connect with clients.

In this conversation, David shares:

  • Why advisors should embrace content creation and start before they feel "ready"
  • How authentic, human content stands out in a world increasingly filled with AI-generated noise
  • The importance of thinking beyond posting content and building a true "channel" or media platform
  • Practical tools and strategies for growing a presence, including analytics, coaching, and consistency
  • How content helps shift investors from emotional decision-making to evidence-based thinking

David also explains how his own journey - from corporate roles at firms like Fidelity and Bloomberg to launching his own firm - was driven by a desire to communicate more effectively and connect with audiences in a more meaningful way. He emphasizes that advisors who show up consistently, share insights clearly, and present themselves as real people can build stronger relationships and stand out in a crowded marketplace.
