Financial Advisor Success

Michael Kitces has been running the most respected podcast in the financial advisor space for years now, and it shows. With nearly 500 episodes under his belt, Financial Advisor Success is a weekly deep-dive interview show where Kitces sits down with advisors who have genuinely built something impressive -- we're talking practices managing hundreds of millions, sometimes billions, in AUM. Each conversation runs about 90 minutes, which gives guests room to get past the surface-level stuff and share actual tactics, mistakes, and turning points. Kitces brings a nerdy thoroughness to his interviews (he's also behind the massive Nerd's Eye View blog at Kitces.com) that means you'll hear questions most hosts wouldn't think to ask. Recent episodes have covered everything from succession planning strategies to scaling multi-generational wealth practices. The show leans heavily toward practice management and business growth, so if you're looking for stock picks or market commentary, this isn't your stop. But for advisors who want to understand how top performers structure their firms, attract clients, and navigate the business side of financial planning, it's hard to beat. Fair warning: the long episode format can feel like a commitment, but the payoff is consistently worth it. Rated 4.7 stars from nearly 700 reviews -- those numbers don't lie.
