In today’s world, information is everywhere, but not all of it is helpful. When it comes to financial planning, too much research or the wrong kind of advice can do more harm than good. In this episode, Eric tackles the overwhelming flood of financial content people consume through news articles, websites, AI tools, and so-called “money experts.” While it feels empowering to Google your way to a decision, Eric warns that many of these sources use emotional triggers to sell products instead of offering real guidance.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🧠 The illusion of empowerment: When research creates confusion
💻 The internet’s hidden agendas
🚨 Why financial “entertainers” are rarely fiduciaries
📉 Real risks of falling for viral advice and newsletters
🤝 How a personalized, transparent process beats online noise
