About this listen

Financial advisors, does this sound familiar? You’re barraged with people and companies who promise to help you get six thousand new clients in thirty seconds or less as long as you follow their magic tip, trick, or tactic. If so, take a deep breath and relax because that is NOT what this show is about. Lol. Hi, I’m James Pollard. I’m the founder of TheAdvisorCoach.com and host of the “Financial Advisor Marketing” podcast. This podcast is rooted in timeless principles designed to help financial advisors attract their ideal audiences, forge authentic relationships, and build deep roots with prospective clients. If you listen to this podcast, I think you’ll find three things to be true: First, the information shared in this podcast is deceptively simple. This means you don’t have to be a genius or marketing expert to get results. I take immense pride in keeping things simple. Let everyone else chase complexity. Second, the episodes are chock-full of data, research, and studies. This means advisors can do their due diligence on marketing strategies and make informed decisions about how they’d like to build their businesses. And third, I don’t take myself too seriously. I joke around, laugh, and have fun. If any of this appeals to you, I encourage you to listen. ~James PollardCopyright 2018-2025 Economics Marketing Marketing & Sales Personal Finance

  • What 99% Of People Will Never Understand About Making Money
    Sep 8 2025

    Most people treat making money as if it's magical fairy dust that falls from the sky. It sounds silly, but it’s painfully true.

    They think degrees, certifications, and other external factors are responsible for their wealth… and this leaves them terribly disconnected from this fact:

    Making money is a skill, which, like other skills, can be honed and improved over time. It’s really no different from setting new PRs in the gym, learning a new tune on the guitar, or leveling up in a video game.

    The difference?

    In the latter, people give themselves time, focus, and freedom from their fear to grow their skillsets. But 99% of people throw these necessary ingredients out of the window when it comes to the skill of making money.

    After listening to today’s show, you’ll know what 99% of people don’t understand about making money, and how you can be in the 1% of people who do.

    Listen now.

    Show highlights include:

    • Why being a former athlete gives you an unfair advantage at wealth accumulation (even if you were only an athlete in high school) (1:12)
    • How to understand more about making money than 99% of people just by tuning in at (5:28)
    • The weird way advisors routinely cut their income in half without realizing it (6:06)
    • How striving to be the Michael Jordan of financial advice puts a hard ceiling on your wealth (even if this seems counterintuitive) (14:11)

    If you want to make more while working a fraction of what you work today, listen now.

    Show highlights include:

    • How I went from being a loser who couldn’t land a single full-time job after 100s of interviews… to working only 10 hours per week and spending most of the workweek at the beach with sand between my toes (3:06)
    • 2 areas of your health that will directly lead to more zeroes in your bank account when you optimize them (13:23)
