David Bahnsen has built a reputation for speaking his mind, not only on issues related to financial markets, but also on topics many advisors shy away from, like religion and politics. Which has paid off for him in the form of attracting $100 million of new client assets to his firm per month as his content has built his credibility, deepened audience engagement, and drawn in both like-minded clients and those who respect his authenticity. David is the Founder of the Bahnsen Group, an RIA based out of California that oversees approximately $7.5 billion in assets under management for 1,800 client households. In this episode, he shares how his unconventional content strategy has driven firm growth, why he made the strategic decision to step away from serving clients directly to focus on scaling the business, and how his unique compensation and development model fosters long-term success for his team. He also discusses integrating tax prep as a value-add rather than a profit center, expanding into smaller markets to build a national brand, and his commitment to mentoring his advisors as he plans for the firm's future.

In this episode, we talk about the value of work with David Bahnsen, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a wealth management firm based in Newport Beach, California overseeing $4 billion in client's assets, David is also a thought leader, and author of Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. David wants to challenge one of society's most accepted myths: that success means eventually not working. David makes a bold, and deeply personal case for why work isn't just a way to earn a living, but a core part of living well. Drawing from his career in finance and his passion for theology, philosophy, and purpose, we discuss how our jobs can become powerful expressions of dignity, identity, and meaning. We talk about imposter syndrome, identity crises, midlife pivots, and why so many people feel lost in careers that don't reflect who they truly are. David offers a different way of looking at work, especially for those feeling stuck or pressured to “have it all figured out.” We also get real about the unrealistic expectations placed on women juggling ambition, family, and careers. Favorite Quotes from David: "The dignity of work is completely egalitarian." "It is absolutely untrue that AI can ever replace virtue."

Trump's sweeping tariffs have set off shockwaves worldwide. Savage speaks with conservative economic expert and CEO of The Bahnsen Group David Bahnsen to bring clarity to the recent tariffs. Bahnsen explains how these dramatic tariffs are chaotic and detrimental to economic stability. He argues that while the administration's intent to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. is well-meaning, it fails to consider modern manufacturing and national security in trade policies. Bahnsen demonstrates how broadly applied tariffs diminish the legitimacy of legitimate security concerns and misinterpret trade dynamics. He discusses the unique challenges in both commercial and residential real estate markets, the risks associated with a lack of business confidence, and the negative impacts of aggressive trade rhetoric on international relations. Bahnsen emphasizes the need for a long-term approach and hopes that common sense will return to the administration.
David Bahnsen, the founder, managing partner and chief investment officer of The Bahnsen Group, joined Forbes senior editor Maggie McGrath to talk about President Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause in most tariff implementation and the market's reaction to the news.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
