If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether you really need a financial advisor, this episode is for you. James and Ari unpack the deeper reasons people seek financial guidance—and why the decision often goes far beyond dollars and cents.

Much like seeing a doctor for preventative care, working with the right advisor is about protecting your future, reducing stress, and reclaiming your most precious resource: time. From saving 20+ hours a month of DIY management to gaining peace of mind, better sleep, and a trusted partner for life’s biggest financial decisions—this conversation explores the emotional and practical value of professional advice.

You’ll hear a powerful testimonial from a self-proclaimed DIY-er who discovered five unexpected benefits of hiring an advisor—and why, in hindsight, it was one of the best investments they’ve made.

Whether you’re confident in your current strategy or simply curious if you could be doing more with your time and money, this episode will help you ask the right questions about your financial life.
