There’s a point where being good at what you do isn’t enough. Financial advisors are competing for clients, talent, attention, and trust. And when everyone starts looking and sounding the same, it becomes harder for...

Imagine this. A new advisor joins your firm. Ten months later, he brought in roughly $40 million in new assets. That’s what happened at Dana Dunkelberger’s firm. In this episode, Dana and I unpack what happened behind...

Four days after Anthropic released Claude for Financial Advisors, it was the main topic on our AI mastermind call. I get why. Asking one tool to pull your appointments, your Schwab balances, and your Orion data, and...
Episode #187
Nico Pesci’s firm went from bringing in roughly $150k–$250k in new assets per client to between $1M-$2M. But the interesting part isn’t some new marketing funnel, sales script, or lead source. It’s what changed in the...
Episode #185
Gary Vaynerchuk didn't build a 2,200-person company by keeping his hands on everything. Claude Silver has spent the last 12 years helping him build the culture behind that growth as Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, the...

What happens when a client has enough money to retire, but no idea what they actually want retirement to look like? Ben Nemtin knows that problem better than most. After struggling with anxiety and depression at 19, he...
Episode #182
A growing advisory firm and a valuable advisory firm aren't always the same thing. Plenty of founders know their AUM, revenue, and production. Far fewer know how an outside buyer would judge the business if they had to...
Episode #181
Almost every advisor hits a point where the grind starts to wear on you, the finish line feels hundreds of miles away, and the urge to give up starts creeping in. This week, Ariana Luterman joins me to talk about what...
Episode #180
This one flips the usual format. Instead of hosting, I was the guest on the Beyond The Trees podcast with Alex Murphy, from the team at Cedarwood Financial Partners. We talked about something a lot of advisors feel but...
Episode #179
The assumptions that shaped the last 40 years of investing may not hold for the next 40. The world is becoming more complex. U.S. dominance is shifting, while major changes in energy, technology, and demographics are...
Episode #178
Financial advisors are being pitched new AI tools almost every day. The promise is simple: more automation, better client service, and fewer hours buried in administrative work. But adding AI to a fragmented technology...
Episode #177
Here's a question most advisors can't answer honestly: if you stepped away from your business for a couple of months for more than a vacation, would it survive? For many founders, the answer is no. And that's a...
Episode #176

Episode #174

Episode #173
Right now there's a wave building in our industry, and most advisors are standing on the beach pretending it isn't there. AI isn't coming. It's here. And the gap between the advisors who lean into it and the ones who...
Episode #172
A prospect can sit through an entire meeting, nod along, ask good questions, and still leave without fully understanding why they need you. That’s the problem. Many advisors explain their value clearly, but they don’t...
