If you can’t find the perfect firm, should you build it yourself? That’s exactly what Chuck Failla did. With over 25 years in the industry, Chuck started as a “cold-calling cowboy” in the ’90s and went on to launch Sovereign Financial Group, an SEC-registered RIA built on transparency, independence, and client-first values.
In this episode of Kick It Open, host Shelby Nicholl sits down with Chuck to explore what it really takes to start your own firm. They break down the advantages of the RIA model, the resources available for advisors going independent, and why client demand for fiduciary services is shaping the future of wealth management. Plus, Chuck shares why conferences and industry events are game-changers for staying ahead of trends and building a strong community of like-minded advisors.
If you’ve ever wondered whether to stay put or take the leap into independence, this conversation is packed with insights to help you decide.
