Ep 450: Adding $80M To Your Practice In 7 Years By Providing Financial Education Through Local Seminars with Ryan Morrissey

High-net-worth retirees are hungry for clear, actionable retirement education - but often don't know where to find it. This episode explores how hosting local educational seminars can create a consistent pipeline of engaged prospects and drive meaningful business growth for financial advisors. Ryan Morrissey is the founder of Morrissey Wealth Management, an RIA in North Haven, Connecticut, overseeing $140 million in AUM for 150 households. Listen in as Ryan shares how he organizes his retirement planning seminars through local adult education programs to attract his target audience, how he's found that charging a small nominal fee for the classes boosts participant engagement, and how offering a free consultation as a "bonus class" consistently converts attendees into new clients. We also discuss his transition from wirehouse to RIA ownership, how he navigates compliance as a growing firm, and why he's focused on keeping his service model simple and impactful as he continues to scale.
