  • Truly Professional

    Brad is a real professional. He actively manages funds, which is what I really enjoy about his content. He’s in touch, and I gravitate towards his conservative yet ambitious approach to investing. Might not have the same quality audio as the other shows on this app but his investing opinions are 10/10. I learn a lot!

How Business Owners Create Passive Income After An Exit
Q: When a business owner sells a company, what is the natural next step post-sale and who should they consult?
Many clients either DIY and want to manage their own private investments or hire an advisor; the pathway depends on their willingness and prior experience with private markets, with education and access to top-tier managers playing a key role for those new to this space.
The Truth Behind The Financial Advisor Industry
Q: How do financial advisors get paid and which models are preferable?
The guest highlights that the typical model is uncapped AUM fees, which can grow dramatically as a client's wealth increases, and often lacks alignment with added value; a flat fee or capped-fee approach is presented as more sustainable and aligned with client outcomes.
