What does building your Version 2.0 really look like?
In this episode, I’m joined by Shelby Nicholl, founder of Muriel Consulting and host of the Kick It Open podcast, to explore how advisors can recognize when it’s time to evolve and how to take smart, confident steps toward a more fulfilling practice.
Listen in as we talk about how to evaluate firm fit across three key dimensions and what options exist for those considering independence or starting their own RIA.
