Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should You Break Away? Chad Taylor on Going Independent and Bringing Every Client With You
Q: Why podcasts and media appearances for your firm and personal brand?
Chad states the motivation is visibility and outreach to clients and prospects through LinkedIn, YouTube, and the website, using podcast appearances to share their approach and success and to build a broader recognition for the Seapoint brand.
Should You Break Away? Chad Taylor on Going Independent and Bringing Every Client With You
Q: What growth strategy are you pursuing today for Seapoint, and how do you see acquisitions fitting in?
The growth strategy blends organic client acquisition with strategic acquisitions of nearby practices, local to San Diego; this includes integrating those books into Seapoint while maintaining a strong service model and culture fit, aided by LPL's support and a broader trend of retiring advisors selling their practices.
Should You Break Away? Chad Taylor on Going Independent and Bringing Every Client With You
Q: What led you to establish Seapoint Wealth Advisors and break out on your own?
Chad explains that the drive to own and control his own business, plus growing concerns about payout structures, non-compete clauses, and a desire to serve clients in a more independent, client-first framework pushed him toward independence with LPL as the platform.
Should Bitcoin Have a Seat at the Table? Eric Runge on the Non-Sovereign Asset
Q: What's your background and what led you to Bitcoin?
Runge explains starting in traditional brokerage, moving to independent wealth management, and eventually building a Bitcoin advisory focusing on family offices, spurred by a personally compelling case for Bitcoin after studying Austrian economics and a turning point when exposed to Robert Breedlove's arguments.
Is Your Team Stuck in Survival Mode? How to Go From Founder-Led to Operator-Led with Katelynn Graham
Q: What's the role of leadership transition in scaling an advisory business?
Bringing in a COO or president who can translate the founder's vision into scalable processes is critical; it lifts the founder from day-to-day to strategic leadership and enables accountability, tracking, and growth across the organization.
