How my experiences with RIA pioneers, and the love of my mother, inspired me to a different breakaway story
Jason Lahita had mentoring from Joe Duran, Ron Carson and Mindy Diamond but his mother's early onset dementia gave him the final nudge to take a risk
Tim Welsh
Nice piece Jason. Reminds me of how Nexus Strategy was formed in a similar crucible. We all have our Jerry Maguire moments and it is great to see yours turn into reality! Thanks for sharing.

John Stuart
Beverly Hills Wealth Management is proud of you Jason.
Brandon Moss
We have come a long way my friend! Great to see your success and know you will always be part of the United Capital family. Godspeed in your new endeavor!
Jeff Spears
Great piece. We often forget that most of our clients are entreprenuers too! They know how courageous you must be to start a new business.
The other chearleader I enjoy reading is Seth Godin who says – just ship it!
The “push” to start my own business was to be fired….not as compelling but it worked!
David Selig
Really good stuff, Jason. You’ve always been there for me too, BTW. Seemingly like your situation (and it sounds like Tim W’s as well), similar circumstances in starting Advice Dynamics Partners. From one entrepreneur to another, cheers!
Jason Lahita
Thanks guys, I appreciate these comments very much, I’m excited to be on this path and working amongst outstanding people such as yourselves.
