This podcast is designed for financial advisors like you - who are interested in learning more about the evolving wealth management industry through in-depth dialogues with breakaway advisors, C-suite executives, and industry thought leaders.

Launched in 2017 as Mindy Diamond on Independence, the show has taken on a broader perspective beyond the independent space to include topics, insights, and candid conversations around financial advisor transitions, growth, and an ever-changing industry landscape. Each episode is designed to offer objective guidance and actionable advice with some of the industry’s brightest movers and shakers.

At Diamond Consultants, our mission is to help financial advisors live their best business life. We guide elite advisors in search of the right place for their business and their clients, whether it’s at a wirehouse, regional, boutique, or independent firm. We’ve transitioned more than a quarter of a trillion dollars in assets under management in the past decade.

But we’re far more than just recruiters. We’re future-proofers, business coaches, and career sherpas who meet advisors where they are, years before they’re ready to move. We educate advisors on the latest trends, help them evaluate economic models, understand their enterprise value, and create a personal roadmap of options they might never have considered otherwise.

And unlike most recruiters, our business is built on relationships, not transactions. Making a move is a big deal and we would never sell you into a move. We offer unbiased guidance that puts advisors’ interests first, with no cost or obligation to you. Even when that means staying where you are.
