    About this episode…

    We often speak with advisors who, by every external measure, are exceptionally well-performing. They’ve built real businesses, with strong production, loyal clients, and teams that continue to grow.

    Yet behind closed doors, many of these same advisors are quietly asking a different set of questions. Not “How do I fix what’s broken?” but “Why doesn’t this feel as good as I expected?”

    That tension is showing up more often than it did five or ten years ago. It’s not because advisors are failing. In many cases, it’s because they’ve won and now face another 15 or 20 years of “more of the same,” unsure whether comfort has replaced energy.

    This Industry Update is about that moment.

    Louis and Mindy Diamond unpack what we’re hearing from successful advisors across the industry:

    • What feels different for successful advisors vs. five or ten years ago.
    • Why success itself can become a constraint.
    • How fear of change competes with fear of standing still.
    • What the reality is regarding freedom and control.
    • Why record valuations, longer careers, and the maturity of the independent space are changing the psychology of decision-making.

    They also discuss the right questions to ask before considering a move – questions about control, enterprise value, legacy, and time horizon – and how all advisors can create clarity without forcing a decision.

A proverbial mountain climber himself, Joe built and sold two of the most successful firms in the RIA space: Centurion Capital and United Capital. Today, Joe sees himself as a sherpa—guiding the next generation of entrepreneurs through his latest venture, Rise Growth Partners. His story is one of constant reinvention, relentless curiosity, and the humility to keep asking one simple question: “What if I’m wrong?” Joe first joined us on the show back in 2020, shortly after the sale of United Capital to Goldman Sachs. Now, with the benefit of both hindsight and foresight, Joe revisits that experience and explores the mindset behind building truly world-class firms, including: The Goldman experience—and what he learned from the sale of United Capital.The development of Rise—and how he sees it helping to shift the narrative in the industry.Learning from your clients instead of your competitors—and why that’s the real key to building a world-class firm.Finding an investor that can “really help you—and why you need to look beyond “financiers.”Adding services without adding staff—and when you shouldn’t look in-house for solutions.Challenging your assumptions—and how to stay relevant in an industry that never stops changing.And why being great doesn’t necessarily mean being the biggest. Joe also reflects on how the industry can avoid the risk of mega-RIAs repeating the mistakes of the wirehouses. It’s a candid and thought-provoking conversation about reinvention, leadership, value creation, and what it means to evolve from mountain climber to sherpa from one of the industry’s trailblazers.

    Building for Continuity: Leadership Lessons from the Battlefield to the Firm
    Feb 5 2026
    With Dennis Morton, Founder and Senior Wealth Advisor at Morton Brown Family Wealth Overview For Dennis Morton, succession isn’t a future problem, it’s a leadership obligation. Drawing on his experience as an Army platoon leader and co-founder of an independent firm, he shares how technical competence, accountability, and bold goals drive culture, next-gen leadership, and a business that can thrive beyond any one person.

Neither Diamond Consultants nor the guests on this podcast are compensated in any way for their participation. About this episode… In wealth management, success is often measured by assets, growth, or longevity. But there’s another measure that’s harder to quantify and far more revealing: whether the business you’ve built can thrive without you at its center. For Dennis Morton, succession isn’t a future problem to solve. It’s a leadership obligation. Before co-founding Morton Brown Family Wealth with his partner Katie Brown, Dennis served as a platoon leader in the U.S. Army, including a deployment during the Iraq War. That experience shapes how he approaches leadership today: you have to be technically and tactically competent—but just as important, you have to be accountable to the people you lead. Without this combination, execution breaks down. In this conversation with Jason Diamond, Dennis discusses how that mindset directly informs how Dennis has built his firm, as well as: The road to financial advice—and how a poor experience with an advisor led him to consider joining a training program at Smith Barney.Finding the right partner—and how the ability to be “authentic” drives collaboration.The value of independence—and how it gave them the freedom to communicate openly, market authentically, and simplify complexity for clients.Setting bold, audacious goals—and how that creates clarity for leadership and teams.Cultivating next-generation leaders—and how it became central to his success strategy, not as a contingency plan.His leadership philosophy—and why he feels “you’re not a success without a successor.” This is an episode about stewardship, leadership, and building something that lasts beyond any one person—with important messages for individual advisors and business owners alike.
