In this milestone 250th episode of Advisor Talk, Frank LaRosa and co-host Stacey Frank take a look back at how it all started - from recording in Frank’s office with a single camera and a pair of Marshalls chairs to hosting some of the biggest names in the financial-services industry.
They discuss the timeless conversations that shaped Advisor Talk - including W-2 vs. 1099, succession planning, private equity, and the rise of AI and data-driven business decisions - while reflecting on lessons learned, funny behind-the-scenes stories, and how authenticity continues to drive the show’s success.
Frank and Stacey also look ahead to the next 250 episodes with new guests and fresh topics.
