Financial “gurus,” viral videos, and now AI tools. Everywhere you look, someone has advice about your money. But how do you know what to trust?

In this episode of Clear Money Talk, Tim Clairmont, MSFS™, LACP™, Wealth Advisor, and Tyler Andrews, CFP®, Wealth Advisor, break down the real question behind the noise:

Can you actually trust online financial advice?

They dig into:

  • Why “trust but verify” is essential in the age of algorithm-driven content
  • How opinions get packaged as facts, and how to spot it
  • The danger of confirmation bias (and how your search terms shape your answers)
  • The rise of AI “hallucinations” and why quick summaries aren’t enough
  • The six principles of comprehensive financial planning, and why online clips rarely address them all
  • Why understanding the why behind any recommendation matters far more than the headline

Tim and Tyler also unpack how expertise, credentials, and compliance oversight help separate credible guidance from attention-grabbing shortcuts.

🎧 If you’ve ever wondered whether that video, article, or AI-generated tip is worth trusting, this episode gives you the clarity to evaluate advice with confidence.
