No one has one by default, only by design.  Most of the financial podcasts out there can be valuable, though you will notice that many of them are from someone who is unlicensed.  This podcast is unique in that it is led and hosted by licensed financial advisors who have been in the industry for nearly 2 decades, hence the disclosure below and in the description attached to each our episode.
