Did you know that 65 to 68% of American's surveyed do not believe that financial advisors will put the client's interests ahead of their interests or those of the company they work for? It's a terrible commentary on the skeptical place historical bad practices in the financial planning industry have taken us. How does a financial firm overcome that kind of negativity? By always putting the client first, not only in word but in deeds as well. Ron Carson, CFP®, CEO of The Carson Group has been spearheading that kind of change in the industry for years. His firm is known for its ability to put the client first and deliver on that promise. During this conversation, Ron and I talk about how he started his path toward financial advising right out of High School, the many lessons he's learned while building The Carson Group, why company culture has to be right to fuel Carson's "customer first" promise, and how Carson is expanding by forming relationships with "Partner" firms like Mitlin Financial.
