    182: Inside a $2B AUM Exit: What Buyers Actually Pay For (SHP Financial)

    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 put a price on it tomorrow. SHP Financial went from less than $30 million in AUM around 2014 to roughly $2 billion AUM by the time they entered the acquisition process. But going through that process forced Derek, Michelle, and Keith to look at the business through a completely different lens. We talk about the things buyers cared about that they hadn't always measured, the founder dependencies that can quietly hurt enterprise value, why impressive growth numbers don't always tell the full story, and what SHP had built behind the scenes that made the firm attractive to an acquirer. If you're building an advisory firm you eventually want to sell, or simply want a business that can grow without depending on you, this conversation gives you a look at what the market actually values. 3 Insights From This Week's Episode #1.) Growth Doesn't Automatically Create Enterprise Value You can have significant AUM, strong production, and years of growth while still owning a business that's difficult for someone else to buy. We explore the questions an acquirer asks that many advisors don't start thinking about until much later. #2.) What Happens When The Founder Is The System? If sales, service, planning, and key client relationships still depend on you, your firm may be more fragile than it looks. SHP's acquisition experience revealed why the business behind the founder matters just as much as the founder's ability to produce. #3.) Are You Tracking The Wrong Growth Number? A big production year can look great on paper while hiding what's actually happening inside the business. Derek, Michelle, and Keith share how the acquisition process changed the way they look at growth—and why the scorecard buyers use may be different from yours.

    181: Ariana Luterman – The Mindset That Took Her From Bedridden to World Record Holder

    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 it took to go from being completely bedridden for a year to breaking two Guinness world-records by completing six Ironmans on six continents. We get into what happens when motivation disappears, why you need to have belief before there’s any evidence you should, and how to know when to keep pushing instead of changing the goal. We also talk about one of the biggest mistakes I see advisors make as they grow: treating business like a solo sport. Ariana’s story is a powerful example of what happens when the goal is yours, but the weight of getting there isn’t all on your shoulders. And there’s a lesson in that for any advisor trying to build something bigger than themselves. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) Confidence Is Built Long Before Results Show Up Extraordinary goals rarely come with immediate proof that you're on the right path. Ariana shares why learning to believe in yourself before anyone else does became one of the most important skills on her journey—and why advisors often face a similar challenge as they build their businesses. #2.) The Right Mindset Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage When obstacles appear, most people focus on circumstances. We discuss how intentional mental habits, daily rituals, and disciplined self-talk can shape performance long before external results ever catch up. #3.) Growth Often Begins Where Comfort Ends Every meaningful pursuit eventually becomes uncomfortable. Ariana reflects on what happens when excuses become easy, why resilience is developed through adversity, and how embracing difficult seasons can transform both business and life.

    180: The Hidden Cost of Building a Successful Advisory Firm (Brad Johnson on Beyond the Trees)

    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 rarely say out loud. You can hit the numbers, look successful from the outside, and still feel disconnected from the work and the life you thought you were building. I share the moment that forced me to rethink what success actually meant and why there is an important difference between building success and building significance. We also look at what your calendar reveals about your real priorities, why many advisors underestimate the value of their own time, and how holding onto the wrong work can quietly limit both the business and the life you are trying to create. This conversation is about the hidden cost of success and the choices that determine whether your firm ultimately supports your life or slowly takes it over. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) Successful on Paper, Trapped in Practice A lot of founders leave one situation to build something better, then look up a few years later feeling boxed in by the thing they created. We get into why this happens and how easy it is to miss until it is well underway. #2.) The Conversation Finance Doesn't Want to Have Burnout, loneliness at the top, needing outside help. These show up constantly behind closed doors and almost never on stage. We talk about why the industry stays quiet about it and what that silence costs. #3.) What an Hour of Your Time Is Actually Worth Most advisors have never put a real number on their own time, so they spend hours on work they would never pay someone else to do. We explore why that math changes how you think about hiring, delegation, and growth.

    179: Jacob Shapiro – The 4 Forces Behind the Biggest Wealth Shift in 40 Years

    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 creating new risks and opportunities that many financial plans aren’t prepared for. The challenge for financial advisors isn’t getting more information. It’s cutting through the noise, finding the signals that actually matter, and helping clients avoid short-term decisions based on the latest headline. I’m excited to be talking with geopolitical analyst Jacob Shapiro to unpack the four forces he believes will reshape markets, portfolios, and financial planning in the years ahead. We also explore where advisors may be carrying more risk than they realize, why some of the best opportunities may exist outside the United States, and how to think more clearly about what’s coming next. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) The Four Forces Advisors Can’t Afford To Ignore The shift toward a multipolar world is happening alongside major changes in energy, technology, and demographics. Jacob explores why these forces matter for financial advisors and how they could challenge assumptions that have guided portfolios and financial plans for decades. #2.) More Information Can Lead To Worse Decisions Advisors and clients have access to an endless stream of headlines, opinions, and predictions. We discuss why reacting to all that noise can distort how people understand risk and why the most important signals are often hiding beneath the story dominating the news. #3.) Are Advisors Too Focused On Avoiding Losses? Clients remember losses more than gains, which can quietly push advisors toward overly cautious decisions. Jacob examines the tension between protecting what clients have and helping them participate in the opportunities created by a more volatile world.

    178: Quin Kilgore – AI Is Changing the Advisor Tech Stack Forever

    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 stack doesn’t automatically make your business smarter. If your client data is incomplete, trapped inside disconnected systems, or flowing through tools you haven’t properly vetted, AI may amplify the problems you already have. Today, I’m talking with Triad’s Chief Technology Officer, Quin Kilgore, to explore why the next era of advisor technology won’t be won by the firm with the most software. We discuss why the tools that helped build your firm may not be the tools that carry it forward, where convenience can create hidden compliance risks, and how AI could reshape everything from marketing attribution and advisor coaching to client events and everyday operations. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) The Hidden Risk Beneath Every AI Tool  Advisors tend to focus on what a new AI tool can do. But the bigger risk may be hiding in incomplete client records, fragmented systems, and unclear data policies. We explore why AI adoption can make weaknesses in your firm’s foundation much harder to ignore. #2.) Why Today’s Tech Stack May Become Tomorrow’s Bottleneck For years, advisory firms built their businesses around software that was expensive to customize and painful to replace. Quin explains how quickly that equation is changing, and why advisors may need to reconsider what a “core” technology system even looks like. #3.) The Client Intelligence Advisors Are Leaving Behind Your client conversations contain far more valuable information than a traditional fact finder can capture. We explore what becomes possible when that information can be organized, understood, and used throughout the firm. INTERESTED IN TRIAD'S AI MASTERMIND?

    177: DJ DiDonna – How to Take a Sabbatical without Breaking Your Business

    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 bigger problem than it sounds. Not just for you, but for your team, your clients, and the long-term value of your firm. Today, I’m talking with DJ DiDonna, founder of The Sabbatical Project and author of Big Time Off, to talk about why sabbaticals are more than extended vacations. For advisors, they can become the ultimate stress test for the firm, the team, the client experience, and the life you’re supposedly building toward. We get into why burnout can show up even after you’ve built the “dream job,” why a business that depends entirely on you may be more fragile than it looks, and why waiting until retirement to finally live the life you’ve earned is a risky bet. If you’ve ever wondered whether your business is giving you freedom or quietly taking it away, this conversation will hit close to home. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) The Freedom Test Most Advisors Avoid Many advisors say they’re building freedom, but their calendar, client model, and team structure make that freedom nearly impossible. We explore what your ability to step away may reveal about whether you’ve built a real company or just a more sophisticated version of a job. #2.) Why Burnout Can Hit After You Win Burnout doesn’t always come from failure. Sometimes it shows up after you’ve built the business you thought you wanted. DJ shares why that can be so disorienting and what advisors may be missing when they keep pushing through. #3.) The Fear That Keeps Owners From Offering Time Off "What if I create the exit door and my best people walk through it?" It's the first objection every owner raises, and DJ has actual data on what happens when companies make extended leave part of the deal. The numbers aren't what you'd expect.

    176: Tricia Sciortino - How To Hire An Assistant Who Actually Buys Back Your Time

    SPONSORED BY BELAY If you’re an advisor and you’re still scheduling your own appointments, sending your own follow-up emails, or dealing with other tasks keeping you from bringing on other clients, you’re the bottleneck. BELAY helps busy leaders find world-class Virtual Assistants who can take tasks off their plate, protect their time, and help them stay focused on the work that actually moves the business forward. Learn more about BELAY and find the right assistant for your business here: http://belaysolutions.com/dbdl A lot of financial advisors say they want more growth, more freedom, and more time with their family. But their calendar tells a different story. They’re still answering every email, booking every flight, handling every follow-up, managing every client detail, and trying to squeeze high-value work into whatever time is left. The problem is that the work that feels “small” rarely stays small. It compounds. And before long, the advisor who wants to scale the business is spending too much time doing the work that keeps them stuck. Today, I’m talking with Tricia Sciortino, CEO of Belay, about the role most advisors wait too long to hire for, why the right assistant can become a true force multiplier, and how leaders accidentally create the very bottlenecks they’re trying to escape. We also dig into why delegation is harder than most people admit, what separates a great assistant from a basic task-taker, and how the best leaders create the trust, clarity, and systems that allow someone else to help them operate at a higher level. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) The Calendar Problem Hiding In Plain Sight Many advisors think their calendar issues are just part of running a growing firm. But Tricia and I explore why calendar chaos is often a symptom of a deeper leadership problem, and what it may be costing your business and life. #2.) Why Doing It Yourself Quietly Caps Growth There are tasks that feel easier to handle yourself in the moment, but those small decisions can slowly become the ceiling on your firm. We talk about why leaders stay stuck doing low-value work and how that affects everything else. #3.) The Back-End Flywheel Most Advisors Miss Growth is not just about more marketing and more appointments. We discuss why the service experience after the sale can become one of the biggest drivers of retention, referrals, and long-term scale.

Learn more about BELAY and find the right assistant for your business here: http://belaysolutions.com/dbdl ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE Building the right portfolio for clients is hard enough. But today, advisors are also trying to manage market risk, protect retirement income, navigate stretched valuations, and help clients stay confident when the next market cycle tests the plan. That’s why I’m excited to sit down with Jason Barsema. Jason is the Co-Founder and President of Halo Investing, an award-winning platform that helps advisors access and manage protective, outcome-based investments like structured notes, annuities, insurance solutions, and other advanced wealth strategies. In this episode, we talk about protective investing, defined outcome strategies, and why advisors may need a broader toolkit than the traditional stock-and-bond portfolio. Jason also shares what he learned as an advisor during the Great Financial Crisis, why private credit may deserve more scrutiny, and what it really takes to earn trust with higher-net-worth families. 3 Insights From This Week’s Episode… #1.) The Protection Conversation Most Advisors Aren’t Having Clients want upside, but they also want to know what happens if the market turns against them. Jason shares why protective investing, structured notes, and defined outcome strategies can open a different kind of conversation around risk, income, and client confidence. #2.) Why Private Credit Deserves A Closer Look Private credit has become one of the hottest areas in the market, but Jason raises an important question: do clients actually understand what they own? We talk about the risks that can get hidden behind attractive yields, especially when liquidity starts to dry up. #3.) What High-Net-Worth Families Actually Want From Advisors Wealthy families don’t need another advisor walking in with a product idea. They need someone who listens, understands the complexity of their world, and can help them think through legacy, liquidity, family dynamics, philanthropy, and multi-generational planning.
