Relationships Matter

What’s the real value of working with a financial advisor in a world filled with apps, automation, and AI? In this episode, Roy and Jeremy dive into a question more people are asking than ever: Do you actually need a human financial advisor anymore? The answer isn’t just about performance or cost, it’s about something much deeper. 👉 Relationships. While technology can bring efficiency, speed, and convenience, it can’t replace the human side of financial planning—understanding your priorities, helping you navigate emotional decisions, and guiding you through life’s biggest financial moments. In this conversation, we explore: * Why AI and robo-advisors can’t fully replace human advisors * Where technology does add value (and where it falls short) * The difference between an “investment person” and a true financial planner * How emotions—not just strategy—impact financial decisions * Real-life examples of how planning uncovers hidden risks and opportunities * Why clarity around your goals and priorities matters more than ever At the end of the day, financial planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people, trust, and having someone in your corner who understands the full picture of your life. 🎧 Whether you’re working with an advisor, considering one, or trying to go it alone, this episode will help you think more clearly about what actually matters. 📌 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations that simplify your financial life. © 2021-2026 Credentialed Wealth Advisors, LLC.

End of Retirement Planning: The Critical Part

In this episode of The About Podcast, Roy Hucke and Jeremy Scott are joined by critical care nurse Jeannine Sucitu for a powerful and deeply human conversation about the realities of end-of-life care, and why these decisions matter long before they’re needed. Drawing from nearly two decades in ICU and neurocritical care, Jeannine shares what families actually face in high-stakes medical situations. From ventilators and resuscitation decisions to the emotional weight placed on loved ones, this episode pulls back the curtain on what “doing everything” really means. Together, they explore: * The difference between DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) and DNI (Do Not Intubate) * Why CPR and life-saving measures aren’t what TV makes them seem * The critical role of a medical power of attorney * How a living will can guide (or confuse) decision-making * What happens when no one knows your wishes * The emotional and ethical challenges families face in real time * Why having these conversations now can prevent pain later This isn’t just a medical discussion, it’s a financial, emotional, and relational one. Because planning for the future isn’t only about money… it’s about dignity, clarity, and the people you love. If you’ve ever said “I want everything done,” this episode will help you understand what that truly means—and why it’s worth thinking through today. 🎧 Listen in and start the conversation that most people avoid—but everyone needs. © 2021-2026 Credentialed Wealth Advisors, LLC.
