Join Globe Advisor reporter Brenda Bouw as she speaks with a wide variety of financial advisors across the country, digging into their personal relationships with money, the most important lessons learned over the years, and how their experiences shape the advice they give clients today.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T18:17:23.931004+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-advice-7023081"},"episode":{"title":"Why Samantha Sykes thinks we should be worried about the rise of finfluencers","slug":"why-samantha-sykes-thinks-we-should-be-worried-about-the-rise-of-finfluencers","published_at":"2025-07-09T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-advice-7023081/why-samantha-sykes-thinks-we-should-be-worried-about-the-rise-of-finfluencers","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-advice-7023081","url":"https://behind-the-advice.simplecast.com/episodes/why-samantha-sykes-thinks-we-should-be-worried-about-the-rise-of-finfluencers-0Ay0GGqn","audio_url":"https://afp-119681-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/0e1a7767-ecb5-4a20-a3aa-a54ae2d19808/episodes/9a7ba333-5919-4242-9820-2983c8e0fded/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0e1a7767-ecb5-4a20-a3aa-a54ae2d19808&awEpisodeId=9a7ba333-5919-4242-9820-2983c8e0fded&feed=OZVJlu3c","summary":"When it came to choosing a career, Samantha Sykes explored several different paths, from writing the LSAT with an intent to pursue law to spending three years at culinary school. But it was an impromptu conversation on a cruise ship that set her career as an advisor in motion. These days, Samantha is a Senior Investment Advisor and Financial Planner at Raymond James in Toronto. She and Brenda discuss a humbling mistake she made early in her career, her concerns about the rise of “finfluencers” and her advice for women of colour wanting to break into the advisory world.
