Financial Industry Guest Disclaimer for VibeSociety Podcasts
At VibeSociety, we understand the unique compliance requirements that professionals in the financial industry, including financial planners, insurance brokers, wealth managers, and investment advisors, must adhere to. Our podcast is designed to focus on who you are as a person rather than requiring you to discuss specific financial strategies, products, or recommendations that could create compliance concerns.
To ensure a comfortable and compliant experience for our financial industry guests, please note the following:
✔ No Financial Advice Required – Our conversation will not center around market predictions, investment recommendations, or financial planning strategies. Instead, we focus on your journey, experiences, values, and personal insights, things that do not require regulatory approval.
✔ No Client-Specific Discussions – We will not ask about specific clients, case studies, or financial outcomes that could be construed as testimonials or endorsements.
✔ No Regulatory Violations – You are free to speak about your industry in general terms, but there is no expectation to discuss policies, regulations, or any proprietary or sensitive information.
✔ You Control Your Narrative – If at any point you are unsure about a topic, you can simply steer the conversation toward your personal story, career path, and professional philosophy without discussing regulated financial matters.
✔ Editorial Review Available – We review your episode before publishing to ensure you are comfortable with how your message is presented.
At its core, VibeSociety is about building relationships and introducing our audience to the real people behind the professions. You are not expected to provide financial insights or technical expertise, just to share your story in a way that feels authentic and compliant.
