Paul Powell isn't just another financial expert – he's someone who's seen both sides of the industry and lived to tell the tale. From his unexpected start at Merrill Lynch (thanks to a chance meeting at Applebee's) to becoming a nationally recognized advisor managing over $2 billion in corporate retirement plans, Paul's journey reveals the hidden truths of the financial world.
After experiencing firsthand how industry incentives can harm clients, Paul made a bold choice: he developed the Evidence-Based Hiring Method, a systematic approach to finding truly ethical financial advisors. His unique perspective comes from being both a top-performing insider and a victim of the industry's dark side – including a painful lesson from a client lawsuit that changed his entire approach to financial advising.
Today, Paul's mission is personal: to protect investors from the same industry pitfalls he once helped create. As the author of "The Retiree's Guide to Hiring A Financial Advisor You Can Trust" and creator of the Evidence-Based Hiring Method, he's helped countless individuals separate trustworthy advisors from sophisticated salespeople.
