In this episode, we discuss the myth that financial advisors who make commissions can provide impartial advice. 

We define impartial advice as someone who is not directly involved in a particular situation and is able to give a fair opinion or decision about it. 

Travis shares his experience in the industry and explains the various incentivized compensation structures that financial professionals receive, such as upfront commissions, new asset bonuses, and proprietary products.

We highlight the conflicts of interest that arise when advisors are motivated by their own financial gain rather than the best interests of their clients.

Steve Campbell Podcaster | Business Owner | Husband | Father to Four

Based on lessons learned during the 2008 Financial Crisis and extensive professional experience, Ditch the Suit’s was a response to the panic induced by the COVID-19 Financial Crisis, where a collision of social fear and financial volatility, fueled by the politicization of nearly every issue, seemed to tip the world upside down. With the goal to help people avoid making financially destructive decisions, co-hosts Travis Maus and Steve Campbell produced daily recordings on a wide range of topics, such as staying positive, understanding the financial impact of new legislation, how to take advantage of the stock market when it crashes, blocking out fear-mongering, etc. which eventually gave way to the creation of the Ditch the Suits Podcast.

Ditch the Suits has become more than a podcast – it’s become a movement. Travis and Steve share their experiences and industry insights in order to help you make one good financial decision after another.

Their listeners know they will hear things from us that no one else is willing to tell them!
