Welcome back to another episode of Disruption Blueprint! Today, we are joined by Jody Bluitt, Wealth Advisor at WFA in Shreveport, Louisiana. Recently, Jody’s leadership earned him the honor of being named a finalist for the ThinkAdvisor LUMINARIES Class of 2022 in the category of Community Service and the advisory board of the Shreveport-Bossier African American Chamber of Commerce.

In today’s special episode, RFG President Shannon Spotswood and Jody discuss what it means to make the climb to take your career and life to different altitudes. They talk about the importance of “owning it to the best of your ability” and being the best version of you. For Jody, this includes his colleagues Steve Carney, ChFC®, Dany Martin, MBA, and Chase Crump, CFP®–partners and wealth advisors at WFA.

Spending his childhood in Europe with military parents, Jody learned discipline, respect, adaptability, strength, compassion, leadership and gratitude. His parents taught him that he could achieve anything through hard work. But all that would be battle-tested when he lost his father tragically in a car accident when he was 18 years old. His death motivated Jody to pursue his dreams and become a financial advisor.

But Jody has always been up for a challenge, and climbs have put many obstacles in his path. As a Black financial services professional, Jody never backed down or felt intimidated. Jody’s career in financial services, now eight years strong, has allowed him to blaze his own trail and to make an impact on Capital One Investing, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, and now WFA in Shreveport as the firm expands into the Dallas-Fort Worth areas and beyond.

To bring this episode to a close, Jody reminds us that we are all creators of our own destiny and that by creating our own personal legends we can inspire others to do the same. By creating a legacy for himself—one that honors his dad and pays tribute to those who came before him—Jody reminds us that no matter what happens in life, you can always find a way through it.

“Nothing great comes into the world without discipline.” -Phillip Deas

In this episode, Shannon Spotswood, CEO of RFG Advisory, sits down with executive coach and leadership strategist Phillip Deas. They unpack what it truly takes to perform at a higher level of leadership and how discipline, mindset, and daily habits transform good leaders into great ones.

Phillip challenges the idea that motivation alone drives success, and he introduces a framework built on mindset resets and identity-driven habits. Together, he and Shannon explore how clarity of vision shapes executive decisions and how small habits compound into significant transformation.

This episode is a powerful guide for growth-minded Financial Advisors who want practical steps for taking their leadership to the next level.

Key Themes Covered:

• Why discipline is the gateway to leadership greatness.
• The power of daily recommitment and resetting your outlook.
• The value of identity-driven habits that compound over time.
• The power of viewing failure as data, not personal judgement.

How RFG Can Help Take Your Leadership to The Next Level:

As an Advisor, great leadership is not only built by discipline, clarity of purpose, and commitment to a vision. It also requires a platform that provides the necessary bandwidth and tools to build your business without compromise.

Ready to lead at a higher level? Schedule a 20-minute discovery call to see how RFG’s platform removes friction, frees your time, and gives you the clarity and momentum to scale with confidence and build lasting enterprise value.
