What does it take to build a financial firm that stands the test of time? In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with Brian Kovack, CEO and Co-Founder of Kovack Financial Network, to talk about leadership, independence in financial advising, and why integrity is the foundation of lasting success.
Brian shares the story of building a firm from the ground up with his father, growing it into a national network of 400+ independent advisors managing $15 billion in assets. He explains why giving financial advisors the freedom to act in their clients’ best interests, without corporate sales mandates, creates a better business, stronger relationships, and more trust in the industry. Plus, he opens up about the tough calls, ethical challenges, and leadership lessons that have shaped his career.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why true financial independence means putting clients before corporate interests
- How integrity builds employee loyalty, advisor success, and long-term growth
- The role of transparency in finance and why it matters now more than ever
