Bob Oros is the outgoing Chairman and CEO of Hightower Advisors, a leading RIA platform with over $165 billion in assets under management. Bob has spent three decades in the wealth management industry, including stints at Charles Schwab, LPL, and Fidelity before joining Hightower in 2019. During the last six years, he oversaw fifty acquisitions of RIAs that he integrated under Hightower's Well-th Rebalanced culture. Our conversation shares a perspective on how RIAs function and allocate capital at scale. We cover the evolution of private wealth from product sales to holistic planning, the founding and transformation of Hightower, and Bob's approach to building a scalable, advisor-focused platform. We discuss Hightower's acquisition strategy and process, advisor retention, and private equity ownership, and then turn to its investment approach that blends centralized oversight with advisor flexibility. We close with Bob's decision to step down as CEO in an exciting time for the business and some leadership lessons he's picked up along the way.

They answer questions about where to park $100K in short-term savings, when (or if) to convert to a Roth in your 70s, the pros and cons of ETFs versus mutual funds in taxable accounts, and the murky territory of backdoor Roth timing and the pro-rata rule.

In this Metabolic Classroom lecture, Dr. Bikman dives into the central metabolic role of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)—a largely unsung but crucial enzyme that governs whether fat is burned or stored and even where it accumulates in the body.LPL is anchored to capillary walls in tissues like fat, muscle, heart, and lactating mammary glands. It acts as a metabolic gatekeeper, hydrolyzing triglycerides from circulating lipoproteins (like chylomicrons and VLDL) into free fatty acids. Depending on the tissue, those fatty acids are either burned (e.g., in muscle) or stored (e.g., in fat cells). LPL activity is influenced by hormones, diet, age, exercise, and weight status, and it plays a role in both fat distribution and metabolic disease.LPL expression is highly tissue-specific and hormonally regulated. For instance, insulin increases LPL in fat tissue (promoting fat storage) and suppresses it in muscle (reducing fat burning), whereas testosterone suppresses LPL in subcutaneous fat, especially in the buttocks and hips—explaining fat patterning differences between sexes. In contrast, estrogen increases LPL in subcutaneous areas, which supports healthier fat distribution in women. Interestingly, low-carb diets and exercise reverse this pattern, increasing muscle LPL and decreasing fat LPL, thus shifting the body into a fat-burning mode.Ben also explains how weight loss impacts LPL expression. During weight loss, LPL activity in fat tissue tends to decline, but LPL gene expression can paradoxically increase, setting the stage for weight regain. He cites long-term studies showing that individuals with higher adipose LPL activity after dieting are more likely to regain fat. LPL in muscle tissue, however, increases after weight loss and exercise, supporting greater fatty acid oxidation. Thyroid hormone also influences LPL in both fat and muscle, revving up metabolism in hyperthyroid states and lowering LPL activity in hypothyroidism.Finally, Ben links LPL to real-world clinical questions, including its role in insulin resistance, statin effects, thyroid hormone therapy, and sex hormone treatments like TRT. He emphasizes that LPL doesn't just respond to metabolism—it helps define it, and that insulin is the dominant regulator of this enzyme.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references, we invite you to become an Insider subscriber.

Nick Rodkin is the managing partner of Stoic Financial, an LPL-affiliated advisory firm based in Florida that oversees $107 million in assets under management for 70 client households. What's unique about Nick is that after nearly 15 years as a financial advisor, he pursued a master's degree in marriage and family therapy to enhance his ability to help couples resolve financial conflicts. This additional expertise allows him to address relationship dynamics that may hinder financial decision-making and the implementation of his financial planning recommendations. Listen in as Nick shares how he helps client couples navigate their financial relationships by using structured conversations to uncover money mindsets, encouraging them to become “budget buddies” rather than “expense enemies.” He explains how his service model allows for AUM-based financial planning, flat-fee coaching, and hourly therapy sessions, enabling him to serve a diverse client base. Nick also reflects on how his own therapy journey reshaped his approach to financial planning, shifting from a product-focused mindset to a more human-centered practice that emphasizes actionable advice and meaningful client conversations.
