Finding the right one is hard. Most advisors look the same on paper — credentials, services, a polished website. But what you actually need to know is how they think, how they treat people, and whether you'd even enjoy working with them. That's what Financial Planner Search is for. Each episode, we sit down with an independent financial advisor for an honest, in-depth conversation. No sales pitch. No jargon. Just a real look at who they are, how they work, and who they're best suited to help. By the end, you'll know what they’re all about. Whether you're approaching retirement and looking for a fiduciary for the first time, thinking about leaving your current advisor, or simply want to make a smarter hiring decision — this show gives you the inside access you need.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T04:18:10.462286+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/financial-planner-search-7777021"},"episode":{"title":"Local Wealth Management & Strategic Legacy Planning with Matthew Benson | Financial Planner Search","slug":"local-wealth-management-strategic-legacy-planning-with-matthew-benson-financial-planner-search","published_at":"2026-04-09T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/financial-planner-search-7777021/local-wealth-management-strategic-legacy-planning-with-matthew-benson-financial-planner-search","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/financial-planner-search-7777021","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/535b6ca685e38af573e9fae89ac3c5ecd390fb993140387ad570888e83fd7e93/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI2ZjI5MTQ1Ni0wYjBhLTRkMjMtODczZS04MjZmNjI3M2Y3MDQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI1OTRkN2RiMS1kODZiLTQ4M2ItOTM3ZS05MTA0ZWY0MTUwNGQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTE3NjgzY2VhZjhjZjNjZTA0NWRmMmQiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk2MDE3YjAxMDEzZmM4YTI0ZTVhMDAzL2dyZWdvcnktd2lsbmF1cy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi0xLThfXzIxLTQ2LTQwLm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/535b6ca685e38af573e9fae89ac3c5ecd390fb993140387ad570888e83fd7e93/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI2ZjI5MTQ1Ni0wYjBhLTRkMjMtODczZS04MjZmNjI3M2Y3MDQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI1OTRkN2RiMS1kODZiLTQ4M2ItOTM3ZS05MTA0ZWY0MTUwNGQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTE3NjgzY2VhZjhjZjNjZTA0NWRmMmQiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk2MDE3YjAxMDEzZmM4YTI0ZTVhMDAzL2dyZWdvcnktd2lsbmF1cy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi0xLThfXzIxLTQ2LTQwLm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Financial Planner Search, Matthew Benson, owner of Sonmore Financial, joins us to discuss his unique approach to wealth management and the value of a localized, boutique experience.
