This Week's Episode:
Overview: I am proud to share that the experiences of a 401(k) expert witness is no longer unchartered territory on the podcast! We kick things off addressing what role a 401(k) expert witness plays during a lawsuit. Then we quickly begin to stress test some fiduciary messages you might have heard such as “Your process is your protection”, we delve into whether having the right fiduciary mindset is relevant and if having some foresight should be an important part of your fiduciary process.
