Welcome to the Balanced Advisor Podcast with Dr. Travis Parry. We want to help financial advisors achieve balance in their lives. If you're an advisor who has struggled to make time for the important things in your life both in and out of the office, then this show is for you.

Join Travis for new episodes each week that will feature interviews with advisors from across the country. They'll share their personal stories of struggles and successes when it comes to striking that proper work/life balance. Travis will also interview other financial industry peers to connect advisors with other valuable resources that can hep them live a balanced life.

Dr. Travis Parry began his career as a financial advisor in 2002. Over the next decade he developed an interest in helping individuals and couples manage and plan for their lives in more ways than just their finances. The shift turned into a new business, new goals, and a few books along the way. Eventually, Travis founded the Make Time Institute with the specific goal of helping financial professionals and business owners achieve work/life balance.

On today’s episode, we are joined by Joshua Wilson, the founder, and president of United Ethos Wealth Partners, a new tech-driven RIA that works to support independent-minded advisors. Joshua is a Ph.D. candidate, an adjunct professor at Baylor University, and has been recognized by Forbes as one of the top wealth advisors in America. This episode originally aired live on YouTube, but we are excited to share Joshua’s story with you today.

 Growing up on a farm in one of the poorest counties in rural Alabama, Joshua was instilled with the value of hard work as a young man. His impressive grades in school landed him a spot at Brown University, where he fell in love with public speaking. After college, he discovered his interest in business and started training programs to understand the RIA world.

During our conversation today Joshua shares how his upbringing has shaped the way he thinks about working with teams and families. He also reflects on the power of working hard and explains how focusing on faith and family values has contributed to his achievements in his career.

 

Join us today as we discuss these things:

  • How Joshua upbringing, family values, and love for football have shaped his life and success. (1:34)
  • How values continue to play a strong role in Joshua's life today. (9:05)
  • The “secret sauce” that has helped Joshua juggle his priorities while growing his business. (12:20)
  • “I can be good at just about anything if I put in enough reps.” Joshua discusses the benefit of growing your business one step at a time. (20:50)
  • The “united ethos” that has helped Joshua’s business grow by prioritizing clients and advisors and encouraging a balanced lifestyle. (28:02)
