Episode 101: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Nelly Mubashi, CEO of Northwest Asset Management and RIA Innovations. They discuss how advisors can build their own RIA easily and confidently. Nelly also shares her remarkable journey from receptionist to CEO, the importance of culture in growing a company, and how Northwest Asset Management and RIA Innovations can be the launchpad for advisors going independent. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:50) - Nelly's money moment (07:16) - Why Nelly chose the RIA space over larger firms (08:42) - Launching an RIA in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis (10:26) - Maintaining company culture across a growing, remote team (13:25) - Why Nelly offers à la carte services instead of a one-size-fits-all model (15:19) - Designing the tech stack at Northwest Asset Management ( 17:59) - Integrating technology across platforms without chaos (20:35) - Making sense of business data in a multi-platform world (23:36) - The ideal advisor fit for Northwest Asset Management (25:53) - How the firm attracts and retains breakaway advisors (28:27) - What's next for RIAs: trends, predictions, and a trust company (32:59) - Nelly's Milemarker Minute (35:38) - Nelly's “why” for founding Northwest Asset Management Key Takeaways Breaking away from a big firm doesn't mean sacrificing service or professionalism. Advisors often fear that going independent means a downgrade in service or technology. But with the right support model—like the one Nelly has built—advisors can maintain (or even enhance) client experience while gaining freedom and flexibility. Culture is a competitive advantage, even in a remote-first environment. As firms scale and spread out geographically, intentional communication, responsiveness from leadership, and regular team engagement are essential to maintaining a strong, connected culture that supports both staff and advisors. One-size-fits-all platforms limit advisor growth—flexibility is key. Offering à la carte services gives advisors the ability to build the business that works best for them. By avoiding rigid packages and letting advisors customize what they outsource, firms can better serve a wider range of needs and goals. Technology should empower—not complicate—advisor independence. Having a curated but flexible tech stack, paired with an experienced ops team, allows advisors to plug in and focus on clients instead of platforms. Integration and data visibility across systems are essential to scale effectively without losing clarity. Quotes "We're looking for advisors who are simple. They don't take a lot of risk, are easy to manage, and their clients can be scaled up." ~ Nelly Mubashi "When thinking about our services, we're making sure that we are providing the highest level of service and the highest level of technology so that advisors have that great experience. They don't feel like they're getting downgraded because you know they're moving to a small RIA." ~ Nelly Mubashi "I want to make sure that advisors have a platform where they feel comfortable and don't feel too small for someone to pay attention to them." ~ Nelly Mubashi Links Nelly Mubashi on LinkedIn Northwest Asset Management RIA Innovations U.S. Bank Piper Jaffray (now Piper Sandler) UBS Charles Schwab Fidelity Investments Tamarac Orion Advisor Solutions eMoney Advisor Envestnet | MoneyGuide Holistiplan Nitrogen SS&C Salentica Start with Why by Simon Sinek Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Learn more at Turncast.com.

Everybody wants to invest, but not everyone knows how. There just aren't many who can point investors in the right direction.Registered investment advisors, or RIAs—either individuals or corporates licensed by the stock-market regulator—are an endangered species in India. While the country had about 192 million demat accounts as of March 2025, there were only about 941 advisors. That's one advisor for over 200,000 investors. Pressure much?You'd think the problem goes away if there were more Sebi-registered advisors. If only. In fact, the number of registered advisors in India has been declining over the past few years. Just in 2020, there were over 1,500 of them. The drop was largely attributable to the regulator.Meanwhile, fintechs like ET Money and Value Research are attempting to plug this gap by offering investors automated advice for direct investment.

With more than two decades of experience working with financial professionals, Brian has developed a deep understanding of the business fundamentals and operational aspects of wealth management services. He applies this deep industry expertise and his passion for technology and innovation to help firms extend the reach, impact, and resiliency of their digital solutions. Kyle and Brian explore the evolving landscape of advisor tech and the power of intentional growth. Shenson shares lessons from his journey through Schwab, consulting, and BCG, diving into the challenges firms face with tech sprawl, data integration, and delivering personalized client experiences.

This foundational architecture is key to long-term flexibility and scalability. As firms grow—especially through M&A—they face a tangled web of tools and data. Middleware isn't just a tech buzzword; it's the critical infrastructure that transforms fragmented platforms into cohesive, advisor-friendly experiences. Many firms delay tough integration work in favor of short-term growth. But without intentional platform decisions and cultural alignment, that tech debt builds silently, eventually stalling progress and creating friction at scale. The best firms are redesigning workflows to let advisors spend more time in front of clients and less time in back-office systems. Separating advice creation from advice execution—with the right tools and teams—is a game changer. Quotes "There's a desire to learn and copy the innovations in the independent space because the independents are moving very fast. They're trying things, they're breaking things." ~ Brian Shenson "With Rise, and because of our strategy and attention to getting it right, we're thinking as much about culture fit and platform fit. Those things matter almost as much, if not more than just the math." ~ Brian Shenson "What Rise is trying to do is back great entrepreneurs who have great businesses that want to have a meaningful impact on the industry.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin sits down with Michael Rubenstein, Managing Director at RMWC, for an insightful look into disciplined sales execution, solo practitioner fundraising, and the mindset needed to succeed in a competitive investment landscape. As RMWC's first employee and the architect of its capital formation strategy, Michael shares his evolution from top-performing financial advisor at State Farm Investment Management to leading sales and investor relations for a specialized real estate credit firm.Michael credits his early success to embracing a structured, metrics-based sales process he learned through the “Circle of Wealth” system. This replicable model enabled him to track inputs like calls and meetings, tailor conversations to client needs, and consistently close multiple lines of business. Today, he brings that same process discipline to RMWC, where he leads sales as a solo practitioner, backed by a firmwide culture of accountability and ownership.Michael recounts how RMWC pivoted from a fund-of-funds model to its current focus: short-duration, floating-rate, senior-secured real estate credit. With roughly $5–$20 million check sizes, RMWC primarily targets family offices, multi-family offices, and RIAs. In 2024 alone, Michael conducted over 400 investor meetings—an impressive volume he attributes to strategic cold outreach, warm referrals, and carefully curated in-person events that foster peer-to-peer influence among LPs.Communication is central to Michael's approach. He tracks opportunities by stage—lead, intro call, diligence, soft close, hard close—and reports regularly to leadership using Backstop CRM and a detailed relationship spreadsheet. But he's quick to emphasize that no tool replaces the human element. A personal follow-up to a canceled meeting at iConnections led to a rebooked conversation simply because he took the time to check in. “Trust is what we're selling,” he says. “People want to do business with people they connect with.”Michael's leadership style blends “shock and awe” with “land and expand.” He believes strong first impressions and consistent service create loyal, scalable relationships. His advice for young professionals? Nail your sales process, get a mentor, and be meticulous about CRM hygiene—small follow-ups can be the difference between a deal and a missed opportunity.This episode offers a tactical, real-world roadmap for fundraisers navigating today's tight capital environment—and a reminder that great salespeople lead with process, empathy, and persistence.

Growth is the goal—but few talk about how uncomfortable it can actually be. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I sit down with Rich Gill of Wealth Partners Capital Group to unpack what really happens as RIAs scale beyond the founder. We explore the evolution of the industry through Rich's unique lens—one shaped by experience across roles and market cycles—and dive into the mindset shifts required to move from a relationship-driven practice to a fully built-out firm.As Rich and I discuss, the path to sustainable growth isn't paved with just good intentions—it takes early investment in structure, leadership beyond the founder, and a clear focus on talent development. Too many firms hit a wall because they wait too long to professionalize operations or build out scalable support systems. And while technology plays a role, it's the firms that lean into emotional intelligence, purpose-driven client conversations, and high-trust relationships that are really separating themselves from the pack.Those leading the way are making proactive decisions—hiring ahead of the curve, putting systems in place before they feel urgent, and using tech to amplify the human touch, not replace it. They're not growing for growth's sake; they're designing firms that reflect their values and meet the evolving expectations of clients who want more than performance—they want partnership.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin welcomes Shane McCarthy, Managing Director at LAB Quantitative Strategies, for a thoughtful and practical conversation on building a lean, high-performing fundraising function in a data-driven investment firm. With over 25 years in the investment industry across operations, risk, product development, and portfolio management, Shane brings a rare full-stack view of capital formation.Shane shares how LAB QS, a $1.8 billion multi-strategy hedge equity manager based in Denver, is built around a risk-first, liquid, and return-per-unit-of-risk mindset. Originally spun out from one of the largest family offices in the U.S., LAB QS retains a strong cultural alignment with high-net-worth and family office investors, with growing interest from RIAs and small institutions. Their hedged equity strategy is structured to smooth volatility, limit drawdowns, and complement broader asset allocations.The business development team is lean—just two people—but Shane emphasizes that LAB QS operates with a firmwide fundraising mentality, supported by every department, from operations to compliance. The sales strategy is guided from the executive committee level, with clear goals and aligned resource allocation. Everyone has defined roles, responsibilities, and expectations, which ensures a unified commercial mindset across the firm.McCarthy stresses that face-to-face interaction and trust-building are still paramount in capital raising, especially in today's saturated and competitive investment landscape.

What if your next great investment wasn't in stocks or real estate, but in trees? How timberland could be the most overlooked asset class in wealth management today. In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene speaks with John Brenard, co-founder of Southview Timber Investments, who shares how he transitioned from a decade in traditional wealth management to managing over 10,000 acres of timberland across the southeastern U.S. He explains why timber provides stable, uncorrelated returns, minimal overhead, and a tangible, scalable path for RIAs seeking alternative investments for their clients. Key Takeaways: → How timberland offers long-term returns through land appreciation, biological tree growth, and opportunistic land sales. → Why timber is an ideal uncorrelated asset that is now available to individual investors through Southview's fund. → How Southview partners with RIAs, offering direct access, low investment minimums, and co-branded education to help clients diversify. → Get an inside look at the $50 million fundraiser aimed at scaling Southview's impact and the value behind every acre of pine. John Brenard has excelled in various business environments for over 15 years, ranging from executive and advisory roles at J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo Advisors to managing operations and expansion at several startups. During his time in the wealth management industry, he built long-term client relationships founded not only on his investment expertise but also on exceptional levels of integrity and service. As an investor in timberland, John possesses a deep understanding of diverse investment asset classes and financial markets. His objective at Southview is to provide a wider audience of investors with the same benefits in timberland investing that he has enjoyed. John holds a bachelor's degree from California State University, has earned multiple professional credentials in the investment sector, and is a member of the Georgia Forestry Association.

With a unique blend of financial expertise and deep technical knowledge, Kailash brings his passion for innovation, data strategy, and scalable technology to help wealth management firms thrive in a multi-platform world. In this episode, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Kailash about his unconventional path from launching an RIA straight out of college to building tech that transformed data operations for financial firms. They unpack the challenges firms face with fragmented data, the importance of centralized infrastructure, and how AI will reshape wealth management. They discuss why firms need to reclaim ownership of their data, how to avoid becoming an “accidental CTO,” and how Milemarker is building scalable, simplified tech solutions for advisors navigating a multi-platform, AI-enabled world. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:53) - Kailash's money moment (06:56) - What is Pantenix?

Without consolidating your firm's data into a single, accessible environment, it's nearly impossible to generate meaningful insights or leverage AI effectively. Fragmented data limits your ability to scale and innovate. You don't have to become an “accidental CTO”. Many firm leaders end up spending too much time wrestling with tech. Outsourcing specialized functions—like data architecture and infrastructure—can free up your time to focus on clients and growth, while still driving innovation. Owning your data is not the same as using cloud-based tools. Just because your systems are in the cloud doesn't mean you own your data. True ownership means having control over how and where your data is stored, accessed, and used to make decisions. AI is only as smart as the data it has access to. For AI to deliver meaningful outcomes—like intelligent agents or predictive analytics—it needs clean, well-structured, and centralized data. Start with solid infrastructure before diving into advanced AI capabilities. Quotes "What we're doing here, as a help to your technology footprint, is enabling you to see and understand your business in ways you've never done before. And that requires very sophisticated technology." ~ Kailash Duraiswami "You must have your data in one place to really make use of AI because the conclusions that the model can make or the recommendations are all subject to what data is presented to it." ~ Kailash Duraiswami "The biggest thing we are making here is building a tool that is advisor-centric and executive-centric. And that means simplicity.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin sits down with Daniel Noonan, Executive Vice President and Head of Wealth Management Consulting at Cohen & Steers, to explore what it takes to lead and scale a top-tier distribution team in today's evolving investment landscape. With more than two decades of experience at firms like Nuveen, PIMCO, and State Street Global Advisors, Daniel brings a thoughtful, measured approach to sales strategy, team leadership, and client engagement.Daniel offers an inside look at how Cohen & Steers is expanding beyond its core REIT franchise into private real estate, retirement solutions, and most recently, active ETFs. With a 50-person U.S. wealth distribution team, the firm is structured to stay agile while maintaining deep relationships across channels including RIAs, wirehouses, independent broker-dealers, and private banks.A central theme in the conversation is intentional sales process. Daniel emphasizes the importance of identifying the right advisor profile—those who embrace active management, endowment-style portfolio construction, and value in real assets. The firm leverages CRM technology, specifically Salesforce, as a “force multiplier,” empowering the sales team with data, segmentation, and efficiency to spend more time with high-potential clients. He stresses that success comes from combining the “art” of client engagement with the “science” of targeting and tracking.Daniel also discusses the challenges and opportunities of new client acquisition, particularly in the fast-growing but complex RIA channel. He advocates for a consultative, business-minded approach, focused less on product pushing and more on providing value—whether that's market insight, operational advice, or branding strategy.On leadership, Daniel defines his style as collaborative, present, and servant-oriented. He believes in staying close to the business and investing time with his team to remove roadblocks and reinforce shared goals. He encourages open communication across levels, structured reporting, and measurable goals that prioritize effort and process over uncontrollable outcomes.For young professionals, his advice is to be a “student of the game”—stay curious, work hard, and differentiate yourself through depth and breadth of knowledge. His biggest challenge today? Focus. With multiple initiatives underway, Daniel's priority is maintaining clarity on what matters most and building infrastructure to support that focus. This episode is a masterclass in strategic sales leadership and thoughtful organizational growth.Tired of chasing outdated leads?
