Descripción

Clients will Google you the moment you announce your move. What they find next decides whether they feel calm and confident or start second‑guessing the transition. We dig into a launch-day marketing playbook built to win retention: A memorable name, a strong visual identity, a custom website with a clear hero message, and a polished launch video that reassures clients at scale. Kevin Nichols, COO from Oechsli, shares what he’s learned from leading 150 brand launches for advisors: Why naming is harder than it looks, how a logo is only one piece of a visual system, and where advisors go wrong by cramming pages with details instead of sharpening the core promise. We talk through a practical process from discovery to design to build, and why the first version of your site should only do three things brilliantly: Communicate why you left, prove credibility, and make contact effortless. --- Contact & connect with me: Text or Call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(908) 902 4903⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Meet: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/coreywalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEY2ZlV4cEZrVEl0TzZzaWdmemt3V055MXRnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNzZJSDVDZkhDVmNPNWlIXzJYTWRxR0JRQktsMnVacFp5TjZJd216QnRsYTlTMC1sZDc1SzIxNzI5NU1ELTJOWHlHMVpuV2ppRmV4OHZyQTQxZXVJRTJEWXVqdHFsVGZpS2VVQnFEWTNsYTZ4ekNIdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fcoreywalen&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreywalen/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl81TVQxalBHTGUzSkVJdmZnWTVvRzJHRWhwQXxBQ3Jtc0tsWnBJQmhPOWtfZHZ2cDdYSG04SXdlQkp5bkZHZ1JVV3FITzBxbjY3eEh3SnJYeUpvc0RLdG12WEpENHlkLWNlT0FqdE5vRnI3TGNLMG01QUxqdzlCVmZ4NktQemlfU2NNX2tUS3lRZl9NRzY2RnliQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcorey-walen-22a76325%2F&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.coreywalen.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

How Elite Advisors Are Using Record Transition Deals to Build Long-Term Value – with Jeff Nash (097)

We break down why recruiting and transition packages are hitting record highs and how to think about them without sacrificing clients, tools, or service. We share how elite advisors use forgivable-loan economics to invest in growth, build enterprise value, and solve real succession and acquisition challenges.  • Record-high transition offers • Going backward on platform for a check? • Treating your practice like a business and getting educated on options  • How forgivable loans function as growth capital  • Upfront money for hiring, marketing, and practice acquisitions  • Real scenarios: Financing business succession while preserving ownership  • Wirehouse choices beyond in-house sunset programs  --- Contact & connect with me: Text or Call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(908) 902 4903⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Meet: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/coreywalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEY2ZlV4cEZrVEl0TzZzaWdmemt3V055MXRnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNzZJSDVDZkhDVmNPNWlIXzJYTWRxR0JRQktsMnVacFp5TjZJd216QnRsYTlTMC1sZDc1SzIxNzI5NU1ELTJOWHlHMVpuV2ppRmV4OHZyQTQxZXVJRTJEWXVqdHFsVGZpS2VVQnFEWTNsYTZ4ekNIdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fcoreywalen&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreywalen/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl81TVQxalBHTGUzSkVJdmZnWTVvRzJHRWhwQXxBQ3Jtc0tsWnBJQmhPOWtfZHZ2cDdYSG04SXdlQkp5bkZHZ1JVV3FITzBxbjY3eEh3SnJYeUpvc0RLdG12WEpENHlkLWNlT0FqdE5vRnI3TGNLMG01QUxqdzlCVmZ4NktQemlfU2NNX2tUS3lRZl9NRzY2RnliQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcorey-walen-22a76325%2F&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.coreywalen.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Helping Financial Advisors Navigate the Evolving RIA Marketplace – with Jeff Nash (096)

The RIA landscape is evolving faster than ever and many financial advisors are already behind. Jeff Nash joins me to break down what’s happening inside the rapidly expanding RIA space: • Why the broker dealer industry continues consolidating • The explosion of new RIA platforms and service models • How private equity and venture capital are reshaping wealth management • The differences between aggregators, integrators, and platform providers • Why more wirehouse advisors are exploring independence • The pros and cons of starting your own RIA • New transition deal structures advisors should understand • How technology, AI, and outsourced support are changing advisor economics Whether you're at a wirehouse, regional firm, independent broker dealer, or already in the RIA space, this conversation will help you better understand the opportunities and risks emerging across the industry. I hope this is helpful. If you're an elite advisor that could use the help of a non-biased transition consultant please reach out, I'd be happy to talk.  --- Contact & connect with me: Text or Call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(908) 902 4903⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Meet: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/coreywalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEY2ZlV4cEZrVEl0TzZzaWdmemt3V055MXRnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNzZJSDVDZkhDVmNPNWlIXzJYTWRxR0JRQktsMnVacFp5TjZJd216QnRsYTlTMC1sZDc1SzIxNzI5NU1ELTJOWHlHMVpuV2ppRmV4OHZyQTQxZXVJRTJEWXVqdHFsVGZpS2VVQnFEWTNsYTZ4ekNIdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fcoreywalen&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreywalen/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl81TVQxalBHTGUzSkVJdmZnWTVvRzJHRWhwQXxBQ3Jtc0tsWnBJQmhPOWtfZHZ2cDdYSG04SXdlQkp5bkZHZ1JVV3FITzBxbjY3eEh3SnJYeUpvc0RLdG12WEpENHlkLWNlT0FqdE5vRnI3TGNLMG01QUxqdzlCVmZ4NktQemlfU2NNX2tUS3lRZl9NRzY2RnliQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcorey-walen-22a76325%2F&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.coreywalen.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Why Top Advisors Are Quietly Leaving RIAs – with Bill Laird (095)

What makes a successful financial advisor leave a large RIA firm? In this episode, I sit down with Bill Laird, founder of Riverside Wealth Advisors, to discuss why he chose to leave a major RIA environment and launch his own independent practice with NewEdge Advisors. Bill shares: ✔ Why many advisors in the RIA channel feel they’ve lost control ✔ How compliance, equity, and bureaucracy pushed him to explore options ✔ Why he turned down large recruiting offers ✔ How he transitioned over $500M in assets ✔ What life and growth look like after the move ✔ Advice for advisors quietly considering a change If you’re a financial advisor wondering whether your current firm is still the right long-term fit, this conversation is packed with insight. --- Contact & connect with me: Text or Call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(908) 902 4903⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Meet: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/coreywalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEY2ZlV4cEZrVEl0TzZzaWdmemt3V055MXRnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNzZJSDVDZkhDVmNPNWlIXzJYTWRxR0JRQktsMnVacFp5TjZJd216QnRsYTlTMC1sZDc1SzIxNzI5NU1ELTJOWHlHMVpuV2ppRmV4OHZyQTQxZXVJRTJEWXVqdHFsVGZpS2VVQnFEWTNsYTZ4ekNIdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fcoreywalen&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreywalen/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl81TVQxalBHTGUzSkVJdmZnWTVvRzJHRWhwQXxBQ3Jtc0tsWnBJQmhPOWtfZHZ2cDdYSG04SXdlQkp5bkZHZ1JVV3FITzBxbjY3eEh3SnJYeUpvc0RLdG12WEpENHlkLWNlT0FqdE5vRnI3TGNLMG01QUxqdzlCVmZ4NktQemlfU2NNX2tUS3lRZl9NRzY2RnliQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcorey-walen-22a76325%2F&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.coreywalen.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

episode 25 Years at Edward Jones, Couldn't Ignore It Anymore – with Alex Williams (094) artwork

25 Years at Edward Jones, Couldn't Ignore It Anymore – with Alex Williams (094)

Are you really running your own business… or just being told you are? In this episode, I sit down with Alex Williams, CFP®, a former 25-year veteran of Edward Jones who made the leap to independence in 2024. After decades inside a major national firm, including leadership roles overseeing 60+ offices, Alex candidly shares what finally pushed him to explore independence, what surprised him during the transition, and what life actually looks like on the other side. This is for ANY advisor considering transition, with questions:  “Should I stay or should I go?” “What would independence actually look like for me?” “Will my clients follow?” What you’ll learn: • The real limitations of “business ownership” inside big firms • What triggered Alex to seriously consider independence • The biggest fears advisors have (and what actually happens) • Client transition reality (including what % followed) • How his service model improved post-transition • The truth about compliance, tech, and flexibility • What advisors get wrong during due diligence • Why the home office visit is the MOST important step Key takeaway: Independence isn’t for everyone, but most advisors have no idea what’s actually available to them. If you’re a financial advisor considering independence, or just curious what life looks like on the other side, this is a great conversation. I hope this is helpful. If you're an elite advisor that could use the help of a non-biased transition consultant please reach out, I'd be happy to talk.  --- Contact & connect with me: Text or Call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(908) 902 4903⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Meet: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/coreywalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEY2ZlV4cEZrVEl0TzZzaWdmemt3V055MXRnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNzZJSDVDZkhDVmNPNWlIXzJYTWRxR0JRQktsMnVacFp5TjZJd216QnRsYTlTMC1sZDc1SzIxNzI5NU1ELTJOWHlHMVpuV2ppRmV4OHZyQTQxZXVJRTJEWXVqdHFsVGZpS2VVQnFEWTNsYTZ4ekNIdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fcoreywalen&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreywalen/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl81TVQxalBHTGUzSkVJdmZnWTVvRzJHRWhwQXxBQ3Jtc0tsWnBJQmhPOWtfZHZ2cDdYSG04SXdlQkp5bkZHZ1JVV3FITzBxbjY3eEh3SnJYeUpvc0RLdG12WEpENHlkLWNlT0FqdE5vRnI3TGNLMG01QUxqdzlCVmZ4NktQemlfU2NNX2tUS3lRZl9NRzY2RnliQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcorey-walen-22a76325%2F&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.coreywalen.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

All the Things: How This Bank Advisor Built a Turnkey Independent Practice – with Noah Geoghegan (093)

You can feel it when a financial advisor is ready to own the business, but also terrified of what comes with it: Leases, staffing, compliance, tech, bookkeeping, marketing, and the fear that clients might not follow. That tension sits at the heart of my conversation with Noah Geoghegan, who helped launch MG Partners after years in the bank channel and multiple merger waves that slowly changed how client service worked on the ground in North Carolina. We dig into the moment independence stopped being a vague “someday” idea and became the right next step. Noah shares how consolidation can push firms toward top-down rules that don’t fit a local market, and why that eventually affects the client experience. He also gets candid about being an overthinker, the pressure of wearing every hat, and the mental load of comparing platforms while still doing the day job. A big unlock for his team was discovering LPL Strategic Wealth Services, a turnkey support model that kept them focused on relationships while offloading major business ownership headaches. We talk through real examples like office space and lease negotiation, professional marketing support, planning and insurance resources, CFO and bookkeeping help, and a compliance approach that supports growth while staying in bounds. Noah also shares practical transition takeaways, why a deliberate drop in AUM can still improve take-home pay, how client communication improved with branded tech and approved AI tools, and how referrals and inorganic growth opportunities look on the other side. If you’re a high-performing advisor exploring the independent path, subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review so more advisors can find these transition stories. --- Contact & connect with me: Text or Call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(908) 902 4903⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Meet: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/coreywalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEY2ZlV4cEZrVEl0TzZzaWdmemt3V055MXRnZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNzZJSDVDZkhDVmNPNWlIXzJYTWRxR0JRQktsMnVacFp5TjZJd216QnRsYTlTMC1sZDc1SzIxNzI5NU1ELTJOWHlHMVpuV2ppRmV4OHZyQTQxZXVJRTJEWXVqdHFsVGZpS2VVQnFEWTNsYTZ4ekNIdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fcoreywalen&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreywalen/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbl81TVQxalBHTGUzSkVJdmZnWTVvRzJHRWhwQXxBQ3Jtc0tsWnBJQmhPOWtfZHZ2cDdYSG04SXdlQkp5bkZHZ1JVV3FITzBxbjY3eEh3SnJYeUpvc0RLdG12WEpENHlkLWNlT0FqdE5vRnI3TGNLMG01QUxqdzlCVmZ4NktQemlfU2NNX2tUS3lRZl9NRzY2RnliQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcorey-walen-22a76325%2F&v=AoxGeW5u8Rs] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CoreyWalen] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.coreywalen.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...
