Financial professionals often rely on their analytical skills to make informed decisions and guide their clients in the right direction. However, when it comes to content creation, they may struggle to infuse creativity into their work. To bridge this gap, financial professionals can:
– Use storytelling techniques to make complex financial concepts more relatable and engaging
– Collaborate with creative professionals such as writers, designers, or marketers to bring a fresh perspective to their content
– Experiment with different formats such as video, infographics, or podcasts to cater to a wider audience and showcase their expertise in a more dynamic way
That’s exactly what happened when Wes Moss, now known for his shows, Money Matters and Retire Sooner, was working on his first book, “You Can Retire Sooner Thank You Think” and needed someone to punch it up a little. He met Ryan Doolittle, a comedian and writer, and they hit the collaboration jackpot!

“Even if it’s like, the right bit of info, if it’s not interesting, it’s hard to get people to read it.” – Ryan Doolittle
Ryan emphasizes the importance of starting with topics that genuinely excite the creator, as this enthusiasm resonates with audiences and fosters a strong connection. He further highlights the significance of engaging the audience through concise editing, impactful openings, and clear summaries, which are key to maintaining their interest and ensuring content is both relatable and aspirational.
As you listen to this episode, I encourage you to think about how you can infuse storytelling and comedy into your content. Here are some action items directly from this episode:
1. Ensure your podcast has a specific theme or lane that aligns with your target audience’s interests, whether it’s financial education, lifestyle, news, or a unique angle that sets you apart.
2. Strive to make your financial content funny, relatable, and engaging to connect with listeners on a personal level and keep them interested in what you have to say.
3. If you struggle with creating engaging content, consider bringing in a writer or producer to help bridge the gap between analytical financial expertise and creative storytelling.
4. Provide valuable financial knowledge while also sharing aspirational content that resonates with listeners, such as highlighting exciting retirement possibilities or impactful money management tips.
5. Ensure high-quality interviews by conducting in-depth research on your guests, actively listening during conversations, and crafting engaging questions that spark meaningful discussions and connect with your audience.
