    5 Outdated Financial Practices to Leave Behind in 2026

    Summary: In this episode of Wealth on the Move, hosts Will Hoffman and Brynn Tarbuck discuss five outdated practices in the wealth management industry that need to be left behind. They explore the ineffectiveness of dinner seminars, the rise of financial influencers, the misconceptions surrounding life insurance as an investment, and the importance of integrated financial advice. The conversation emphasizes the need for a client-centered approach and the dangers of siloed advice in financial planning. In this conversation, Will and Brynn discuss the importance of collaboration among financial professionals, the challenges of founder limitations in firms, and the need for a client-centric approach in the financial profession. They emphasize the significance of integrating various professional insights to provide comprehensive financial advice and the necessity of building firms that can thrive beyond their founders. Resources:  Wealth on the Move Episode with Ben Carlson Takeaways: The wealth management industry needs to evolve and leave behind outdated practices. Dinner seminars often create a forced quid pro quo that doesn’t serve clients’ best interests. Financial influencers can provide valuable content, but their advice should be vetted for credibility. Life insurance is a tool for protection, not primarily an investment vehicle. Siloed advice from different financial professionals can lead to misaligned strategies and poor outcomes. Education-based seminars are preferable to high-pressure sales tactics. Clients should seek validation from licensed professionals before acting on financial advice. Integrated financial planning requires collaboration among advisors, accountants, and attorneys. Relying on social media for financial decisions can be risky without proper validation. A comprehensive financial plan should include multiple strategies and tools, not just one product. It’s important to move accountants into advisory roles. Collaboration among professionals leads to better client outcomes. Financial advisors need to consider lifetime tax implications. Siloed advice can harm clients’ financial plans. Building relationships with other professionals is crucial. Firms should focus on values to ensure growth. A founder’s limitations can bottleneck a firm’s potential. Legacy building is essential for sustainable business. Client-centric approaches improve overall service. Professionals should strive to be agents of change.

The conversation delves into how the stories we tell ourselves shape our behaviors, particularly in the context of money, and emphasizes the importance of understanding and re-contextualizing these narratives to foster better financial outcomes. The discussion also highlights the role of fear and greed in financial decisions and the significance of client relationships in wealth management.

The discussion highlights the psychological ties between love and money, the importance of understanding personal narratives, and the role of AI in enhancing financial advisory services.

Here Connect with Shawn on LinkedIn Connect with Joe on LinkedIn Connect with Caruso Leadership on LinkedIn Visit carusoleadership.com Visit Narrative Wins!.com Takeaways: The personal narrative is foundational to our identity. Successful individuals often have healthier narratives than those who struggle. Curiosity and awareness are crucial in understanding our narratives. Fear and greed are the two primary emotions influencing financial decisions. Contextualizing financial fears can lead to better decision-making. Personal narratives can evolve over time based on experiences. Client conversations should focus on understanding their narratives. The stories we tell ourselves can either empower or hinder us. Awareness of our narratives is the first step to change. It’s essential to remember that financial management is about people, not just money. Trust is fundamental in relationships and must be earned. Scarcity mindset can lead to neurotic behaviors and poor financial decisions. Understanding personal narratives is crucial for self-awareness. Rationality in financial decisions is often clouded by fear and emotions. AI can enhance financial advisory but cannot replace human connection. Generational perspectives shape our views on money and wealth. Narratives influence how we perceive wealth and success. Shifting one’s narrative can lead to better financial outcomes. Identifying disruptive narratives is key to improving financial habits. Listening and understanding clients’ narratives is essential for advisors.

    What Social Media Is Teaching Our Kids About Money

    Summary: In this episode of Wealth on the Move, host Will Hoffman is joined by Hoffman Wealth Management’s Director of Marketing, Brynn Tarbuck, for a candid and timely conversation on what social media is teaching kids about money — and where it’s getting it wrong. From flashy lifestyles and “get rich quick” narratives to misleading investment advice and the glamorization of debt, Will and Brynn break down five key areas where social media can distort young people’s understanding of wealth. Drawing from Will’s perspective as a father and advisor, and Brynn’s experience growing up alongside social media, the episode highlights the importance of budgeting, skill-building, realistic expectations, and understanding risk. The conversation also explores the dangers of confusing investing with gambling, the myth that financial freedom means quitting your job, and why true wealth is about optionality — not appearances. Ultimately, this episode serves as a guide for parents, young professionals, and anyone looking to build a healthier, more realistic relationship with money in a digital-first world. Resources:  Maya Corbic’s Book  Maya Corbic’s Episode The Lockwood Family Episode (Part 1) The Lockwood Family Episode (Part 2)  Takeaways: Social media often promotes looking rich, not being wealthy. Wealthy individuals are typically intentional and disciplined with their money. Budgeting is about control and clarity — not restriction. Financial freedom means having options, not necessarily quitting work. Being “rich by 25” is a myth; your 20s are for learning, earning, and making mistakes. Expensive things do not equal success — value and price are not the same. The fastest way to stay broke is trying to look wealthy. Your job is not the enemy — skill-building is one of the greatest wealth drivers. Credit cards and points can be tools, but debt is never free money. Investing is not gambling; understanding risk is essential. You don’t need massive risks or overnight wins to build wealth. Diversified income streams require work — “passive” rarely means effortless. Investing in yourself and your skills is the most reliable long-term strategy. Parents should actively audit the financial content their kids are consuming.   Connect with Will Hoffman:  Hoffman Wealth Management (724) 522-5411 will@hoffmanwealth.com LinkedIn: Will Hoffman  Facebook: Hoffman Wealth Management  YouTube: Hoffman Wealth Management
