Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2468098/fan_mail/new] What does it actually take to grow a $20 billion independent RIA? Jordan Kienzle, Partner and Chair of the Investment Committee at Baker Street Advisors, pulls back the curtain on how fiduciary wealth management really works — and why most investors are quietly losing money to fees and taxes they don't even know they're paying.

That formative experience shaped everything: his view of risk, client psychology, and what alignment really means in wealth management. In this episode we cover: → Why Baker Street grew from $6B to $20B in a decade → The "two silent killers" eating your portfolio: fees and taxes → How to think about alternatives without getting burned → Managing concentrated stock positions for ultra-high-net-worth clients → Why secondary strategies are outperforming right now → The biggest market misconception investors have today Whether you're an advisor, investor, or just trying to understand how the best RIAs think — this one's worth your full attention. 🔔 Subscribe for bi-weekly conversations with top wealth managers, RIA leaders, and investment thinkers. ———————————————————— 🎙 IN THE HARBOR PODCAST Hosted by Jason Johns & Sean Ritchlin New episodes every two weeks. ———————————————————— #WealthManagement #RIA #FinancialAdvisor #Investing #PrivateEquity #AlternativeInvestments #FinancialPlanning #TaxStrategy #BakerStreetAdvisors #intheharbor  ⚓️ Find us In The Harbor Where sports, leisure, and finance come together — from the rink to the markets and everywhere in between. 🎙 Subscribe, follow, and join the conversation:  📸 Instagram & TikTok → @intheharborpod 💼 LinkedIn → Rock Harbor LLC 🐦 X & 📺 YouTube → @InTheHarborPod #InTheHarbor #Podcast #Finance #Sports #Leisure #RockHarbor #FinancialAdvisors #Investing
