Do You Have A Good 401(k) Plan? With 401(k) Forensic Consultant Paul Sippil
On this episode of the builders podcast, John Busby sits down with Paul Sippil, a registered investment advisor and 401(k) forensic consultant, to unpack how retirement plans really work, and why most employees and employers are paying more than they should. Paul explains what a 401(k) actually is, how fees quietly erode long-term savings, and why transparency in plan design and advisor compensation matters more than most people realize. The conversation also explores investment strategies beyond traditional index funds, best practices for early and mid-career investors, and Paul’s broader mission to bring transparency to complex systems.
