    What if your best year in business was also your breaking point?That’s exactly where Nico Pesci found himself in 2021. His practice was booming, but between 50+ client meetings a week, late-night emails, and missed time with family, the cost was high. He was burning out. Fast.In today’s conversation, Nico opens up about the wake-up call that made him rethink everything—and how he rebuilt a business he could scale without sacrificing himself in the process.You’ll hear how he went from running Pesci Financial as a solo advisor to launching Momentum Wealth, a firm grounded in purpose, systems, and team. We talk about how he shifted from selling products to helping clients design a retirement they actually want, the mindset shifts that helped him let go of control, and how the death of a close friend reminded him what really matters.This was a great conversation that will challenge you to pause, reflect, and ask: Am I building a business that’s actually worth it?5 of the biggest insights from Nico Pesci …1.)

Nico shares how he overcame the common advisor fear of “I can’t afford to hire” and ended up with more time, more happiness, and more profit.4.)

  • 111: Solo - 5 Hard Truths from 20 Years in Finance with Brad Johnson
    2025/04/09
    Ten years ago, I thought success was all about the numbers — AUM, revenue, production, etc. But after two decades in the industry and thousands of conversations with advisors, I’ve seen behind the curtain.I’ve met advisors making millions who are secretly miserable… and others earning far less who are truly winning in every category that matters.In this short solo episode, I’m sharing the 5 hard truths I wish someone told me earlier — the same ones we now teach inside Triad. These are the lessons that helped me (and the advisors we coach) grow faster, lead better, and actually enjoy both the business and the life we’re building.5 Lessons to Succeed as a Financial Advisor …1.) Relationships Beat RevenueEarly on, I was chasing numbers — production, AUM, call volume. But the most fulfilled advisors aren’t chasing clients; they’re building real relationships. The kind that go beyond the portfolio and into family, values, and legacy. When you lead with service, the business takes care of itself.2.) Simplicity Sells. Complexity RepelsTop advisors take complex ideas and make them simple. Visuals, frameworks, and analogies aren’t gimmicks, they’re how you create clarity. And clarity builds trust. If a prospect doesn’t understand your value, they won’t pay for it. Clarity creates confidence3.) Growth Without Alignment = BurnoutYou can build a business that looks great from the outside and be miserable on the inside. I’ve seen it too many times. Growth only works if it aligns with your life. If your business doesn’t support your values, family, or well-being, it’s just a matter of time before burnout hits.4.) Proximity is PowerYou don’t need all the answers, but you do need the right people around you. I’ve seen entire businesses transform because an advisor got in the right room, asked the right questions, and stayed curious. Proximity accelerates growth. Don’t go it alone.5.) Advisors Are Leaders (Not Just Planners)Advisors aren’t just here to give advice. You’re here to lead. To guide families through fear, change, transitions, and uncertainty. If you only give advice, you inform. But when you lead with vision and empathy, you transform. That’s the difference between a commodity and a category of one.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/111FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

Dane has built one of Cutco’s most successful sales teams—not by micromanaging or driving harder, but by creating a company culture that makes people want to stay.Dane’s Dream System flips traditional leadership on its head. Instead of just setting company goals, he helps his team identify and achieve their personal dreams, leading to higher engagement, loyalty, and performance. The results?

Stop Postponing Life & Start Retiring NowWhy “someday” is the biggest retirement risk and how small, intentional lifestyle shifts can create freedom long before the traditional retirement age—for both you AND your clients.#2.)
