In this episode of the Investing for Doctors Podcast, we sit down with financial expert Roger Wheelahan to discuss the real role of financial advisors and why many people misunderstand or mistrust the financial planning industry.


We talk about why the common belief that you can “just use a brokerage account” is misleading, how the flat-fee model provides more value than traditional percentage-based fees, and the crucial difference between an advisor who sells products and builds a holistic financial blueprint tailored to your life.


We also discuss how poor advice can cost you thousands (including how Roger saved someone from a $100,000 scam), the tax traps hiding in superannuation inheritance, and the overlooked value of having a financial “family coach” who can navigate everything from property structuring to estate planning.


If you want to understand the hidden value a good advisor brings and learn how to future-proof your wealth across life stages, then make sure to listen to this episode!
