Firm Transitions with Corey Walen

How This $500M Team Left Edward Jones to Build Their Own RIA (021)


Listen Later

This one isn't just for Edward Jones FAs, this is for everyone struggling with the idea of leaving a captive or employee firm.

In my opinion there are more misconceptions surrounding advisors leaving employee firms than any other transition situation out there. In this episode we address many of them.

Jason Barber, CFP®, CEO & Founder, and Taylor Pankratz, President & Founder, of Holistic Planning joined for me an hour to share their experience leaving Edward Jones to build their own RIA.


  • 41 year legacy, history, and the transition of a family business out of Edward Jones
  • Frustrations with the captive broker/dealer compliance systems and rules
  • How important was the national brand?
  • "The FIRST phone call to our clients blew my mind"
