Some advisors build practices, and others build platforms. Jeff Rose has done both, and in this episode, we unpack exactly how.
Jeff is a financial planner, best-selling author, and the creator of Good Financial Cents, one of the most recognized personal finance blogs on the web. But long before his content reached millions, Jeff was just trying to get his practice off the ground—navigating compliance, finding his voice, and figuring out how to turn blog traffic into real growth.
In this conversation, Jeff shares the behind-the-scenes of building a brand that actually converts—why transparency wins, how he leveraged his blog to create trust at scale, and what it looks like to build a business that reflects your unique story.
If you're unsure where to start when it comes to marketing your firm—or if you're wondering whether content creation is worth your time—this episode offers a clear, honest look at what’s possible when you lean into authenticity and take a few smart risks.
