Financial Advisor Marketing Podcast

James Pollard has a specific point of view, and he's not shy about sharing it: most financial advisor marketing is terrible, and the fix is simpler than people think. That confidence drives every episode of the Financial Advisor Marketing Podcast, a solo show where Pollard breaks down marketing principles, lead generation tactics, and client acquisition strategies specifically for the advisory world. With 371 episodes released weekly, there's a deep back catalog to work through. His approach emphasizes timeless marketing fundamentals over trendy hacks -- he'd rather you understand why something works than just copy a template. Episodes are data-driven, frequently citing research and studies to back up his recommendations, which gives the show more substance than your typical marketing advice podcast. Topics include website optimization, niche positioning, trust signals, pricing strategies, and how to actually convert leads into clients. The tone is conversational and sometimes a bit snarky, with a lighthearted humor that keeps things from feeling like a lecture. Pollard also runs TheAdvisorCoach.com and promotes his Inner Circle Newsletter, so there's definitely a sales funnel at work here. At 3.7 stars from 94 ratings, the reviews are more polarized than most shows on this list -- people either love his direct style or find it off-putting. But if you specifically need help with marketing your practice and you appreciate opinionated content backed by data, it fills a gap that few other advisor podcasts address head-on.
