On this episode, host Darren Wurz gets candid about the real-world pros and cons of hiring a financial advisor—especially for independent, high-achieving attorneys and law firm owners. No sales pitch. No jargon. Just honest perspective from someone who’s seen it all (the good, the bad, and the “I really wish you’d called me sooner”).

Darren breaks down why so many lawyers choose the DIY route, the hidden costs of going it alone, and how professional advice might be the leap from “just getting by” to lasting wealth. He also shares exactly what to look for (and what to run from) when choosing an advisor, plus the red flags that could cost you big time.
