143: Solo - Your Office Space Could Be Costing You Million-Dollar Clients with Brad Johnson


Listen Later

Are you struggling to attract and close more high-net-worth clients?

What if the reason has nothing to do with your financial plans and everything to do with your office design?

In this solo episode, I share one of the most surprising lessons I’ve learned in 20+ years of coaching advisors: the design and intention behind your office directly impacts the clients you attract and the culture you create.

Your office is more than a workspace. It’s a physical reflection of your values, beliefs, and the experience you promise to your clients. I’ll show you how thoughtful design can elevate your credibility, boost team culture, and transform how prospects perceive your brand.

I’ll also walk you through the three lessons that shaped Triad’s new headquarters, so you can apply the same principles to your own firm and start attracting higher-net-worth clients while building a culture your team loves coming to every day.


3 of the biggest insights from Brad…


#1.) Celebrate What Matters in Business and Life

Most advisors design an office that looks good on paper, but doesn’t feel like them. In this episode, I share how to build a space that actually tells your story. From our Do Business, Do Life wall filled with team goals to the way you showcase client experiences instead of sales awards, I’ll show you how to create an environment that instantly connects and builds trust with million-dollar clients.

#2.). Speak Things Into Existence That Matter

At Triad, we believe language creates culture. So when we built our new office, we wanted our walls to literally speak our values. Instead of labeling rooms A, B, and C, we named them after the beliefs we live by—like the “Significance Suite” and the “Day One Café.” We even have an “Empty Chair” in every conference room to represent our members, reminding us to always build on their behalf. It’s a simple way to make sure what we say we believe shows up in how we work every day.

#3.) Create a Collision-Friendly Environment

We fixed one of the biggest mistakes from our first office—silos. In our new space, we built what I call a “hub-and-spoke” design that sparks connection. The hub is where ideas collide—coffee stations, couches, even a kegerator—and the spokes are where deep work happens. I’ll share how this setup boosted creativity, broke down barriers, and created a vibe that everyone—from team members to visiting advisors—can feel the moment they walk in.
