About this listen

The Built for Advisors Podcast is for financial advisors who know they deliver great work, but want their online presence, brand, and technology to finally reflect it.

Hosted by Dustin Taylor, this show explores how modern advisory firms actually grow in today’s digital-first world. Before a prospect ever calls you, they Google you. Before they book a meeting, they check out your website, your LinkedIn, and your content. That digital first impression now plays a massive role in who chooses to work with you — yet most advisors were never taught how to manage it.

Each episode breaks down the real systems behind growth: branding, online visibility, websites, content, CRM, AI, automation, and the tech stack that supports modern advisory firms. Not from a hype-driven angle, but from a practical, advisor-friendly perspective focused on what actually works.

If you want to build trust before the first meeting, stand out in a crowded marketplace, and create a digital presence that supports the business you’re trying to grow, Built for Advisors is your blueprint.

  • Why Financial Advisor Websites Fail to Connect and How to Fix Yours
    Feb 2 2026

    Your website is having conversations with potential clients long before you ever speak with them.

    In this episode of Built for Advisors, we focus on one of the most important (and misunderstood) parts of advisor growth: the role your website plays in shaping first impressions.

    Today, discovery happens quietly. Someone hears your name, searches for you, skims your site, and decides whether you feel like the right fit — often in seconds. That decision isn’t based only on design. While a professional look builds credibility, connection comes from clarity and personalization.

    We talk about why people connect with people, not firms. Faces create familiarity. Recognition lowers friction. Overused stock imagery and generic language make it harder for prospects to remember you or feel anything specific about working with you.

    You’ll also hear why most advisor websites try to speak to everyone and end up resonating with no one. Specificity is not limiting — it’s clarifying. When your site clearly states who you help and what you help them navigate, the right people lean in and the wrong people naturally self-select out.

    We also connect this to search and AI discovery. Search engines and AI systems don’t look for firms — they look for answers. When your website addresses real client questions in plain language, it becomes easier for both people and machines to understand what you do.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why your website acts like a conversation, not a brochure
    • The role of personal presence in building trust
    • How familiarity reduces friction in decision-making
    • Why generic messaging weakens connection
    • How specificity helps prospects self-identify
    • The importance of answering real client questions online
    • Why structure, speed, and mobile usability affect visibility
    • How website data helps refine your marketing over time

    Your website isn’t a one-time project. It’s a living system that should evolve with your practice, reflect real client conversations, and support everything else you’re doing — from referrals to social content.

    Action step for this week: Look at your website as if you’ve never met yourself. Can someone see you? Do they know who you help? Do they feel like you’re someone they could talk to? Then make sure at least one common client question is clearly answered in your voice.

  • How Do New Clients Find You Today?
    Jan 12 2026

    In this episode of The Advisor Growth Lab, we talk about the moment that quietly shapes almost every new opportunity an advisor gets, the first impression someone forms when they looks you up online.

    Most prospects never meet you before they decide whether to reach out. They Google your name, visit your website, scan your LinkedIn profile, and sometimes even ask an AI tool who you are. In just a few minutes, they develop a feeling about whether you seem like someone they can trust.

    This episode explores why that feeling matters more than credentials, how vague language makes advisors invisible, and why being specific about who you help and what you solve makes you easier to find and easier to choose.

    We also look at how your website, content, and LinkedIn presence work together to create a simple, compounding visibility system that runs in the background while you focus on serving clients.

    If you want more people to reach out already feeling connected to you, this episode will help you see where it really starts.

  • Why I Built a Career Helping Financial Advisors Get Found
    Jan 5 2026

    In this episode of The Advisor Growth Lab, Dustin Taylor shares the full story behind how he built a career helping financial advisors grow through technology, visibility, and modern marketing.

    From graduating during the 2008 financial crisis to living and working overseas, Dustin explains how a chance encounter with a financial advisor led him into one of the most regulated — and misunderstood — industries in business. Along the way, he built VOOV Advisor Consulting, helped launch books, podcasts, websites, and campaigns for advisors across the U.S., and learned firsthand how compliance, technology, and trust shape the way advisory firms grow.

    This episode explores why so many great advisors struggle to be visible online, why generic marketing doesn’t work, and why better systems — not more hustle — are the key to sustainable growth in today’s world.

    If you’ve ever wondered how technology, branding, and communication fit into the future of financial advice, this episode sets the foundation for everything that follows.
