I wish them the best. Effective use of Social Media is a competitive advantage of independent RIAs and there is NOBODY better at Social Media than these two.

Only unsolicited advice I’d give is to refine their positioning on backoffice support.

Why didnt the story mention the fact that neither of these clowns is qualified to manage anyone’s money or the fact that Brown worked fro Westrock Advisers which was a boiler room that lost its broker dealer license??? Just another example of crap media.
