Tired of feeling like just another cog in the machine? You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. In this powerful kickoff episode of the RIA Confidential Podcast, host Jonathan Andrews sits down with Ray Gettins, "Your RIA Mentor," to explore the growing wave of financial advisors leaving the broker-dealer world behind for something better: the RIA model.
They unpack why more advisors are walking away from restrictive platforms, outdated sales quotas, and capped earnings—and how going RIA unlocks true autonomy, fiduciary alignment, and business ownership.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✅ Why control, flexibility, and brand ownership matter more than ever
✅ The truth about payouts and the financial upside of going RIA
✅ How fiduciary duty deepens client trust and leads to referral growth
✅ What it really takes to customize portfolios and run your own practice
✅ Why UAG is helping advisors ditch compliance headaches for good
✅ And how to communicate with clients so they want to come with you
Whether you’re RIA-curious or ready to make the leap, this episode offers insights, laughs, and hard-earned wisdom from the front lines of financial independence.
