Author: Jacob A. McClure, CIMA®, of The Personal Wealth Coach, an Independent Fiduciary Investment Advisory Firm | Fee-Only Language: English Episodes: 100
Hosted by Jacob A. McClure, a Certified Investment Management Analyst® and the founder of an independent, fee-only fiduciary advisory firm, The Personal Wealth Coach is a conversation about the ideas that shape your financial world. This isn't a series of dry market forecasts or sales pitches. Instead, Jake uses economics, investment principles, and often surprising historical context to explain how the financial system actually works and what that means for your decisions. You'll hear clear breakdowns of complex topics, from market mechanics and portfolio strategy to the broader economic forces that impact personal wealth. The discussion is grounded in a fiduciary perspective, meaning advice is centered on what's genuinely instructive rather than what's merely promotional. Each episode of this podcast aims to transform abstract concepts into practical understanding, linking the lessons of the past to the opportunities and challenges of today. It’s an educational resource for anyone looking to move beyond the headlines and develop a more confident, long-term approach to managing their life and their assets. Tune in for thoughtful analysis that connects money, markets, and the human experience.
