Finding the right firm fit (and a well-defined path to partnership) can take time—and sometimes, the courage to start over. From wirehouse beginnings to RIA partnership, Maggie Rapplean's journey shows how clarity, persistence, and the right environment can open the door to both ownership and balance.

Maggie is a Partner at Moneta Group, an RIA based in St. Louis, Missouri, where she oversees $250 million in AUM for 108 client households. Listen in as she shares how her career transitions have helped her find the equity path she was seeking. We talk about how she successfully took over a retiring advisor's book of business, how she achieved a high retention rate in part by refreshing these clients' financial plans and offering deeper tax planning services, and how building her own team has helped her balance career growth with family life.
