Exposing the Truth About Going Independent as a Financial Advisor
RIA Confidential Podcast Launches July 23rd

CHICAGO, IL - July 23, 2025 - The financial advisory world is about to get a major wake-up call.

BraveHeartsTV is excited to introduce RIA Confidential, the podcast built for financial advisors who are done playing by someone else’s rules. Launching July 23rd on BraveHeartsTV Network, this no-holds-barred show dives deep into the uncensored realities of breaking free from the traditional broker-dealer model and transitioning to the RIA space.

Hosted by Jonathan Andrews of Beneficial Business Services and featuring RIA trailblazer Ray Gettins—aka Your RIA Mentor—RIA Confidential pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to go independent in today’s volatile, opportunity-rich landscape.

Gettins, the architect behind United Advisor Group, is shaking up the industry with a bold model built on 100% transparency, ultra-low platform fees, and a single-tier partnership structure that puts advisors first.

"This podcast is for the advisor who’s outgrown the old system,” says Andrews. “If you’ve ever felt like your business was someone else’s asset—you’re not crazy. And you’re not alone."

"Our goal is to hand advisors the real roadmap,” adds Gettins. “No gatekeeping. No jargon. Just clear strategies, raw stories, and the support they need to own their future."

What to Expect in Season One

  • Premier Episode: Breaking Free from the Broker-Dealer Model Why top producers are making the leap—and what they’ve found on the other side.
