Josh Brown and Joe Duran: On Financial Advice, Living Well and Building a Billion Dollar Business

Josh here - it was my honor and pleasure to interview Joe Duran, founder of United Capital, on stage earlier this week at the inaugural Wealth/Stack Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. Joe made headlines earlier this year when he sold the firm to Goldman Sachs - a deal that was the largest Goldman has done in 20 years. Joe and I spoke about the need to advise clients on different aspects of their lives, beyond just what's happening in their portfolios. We also talked about what motivated him to make a deal and what types of capabilities he'll have now as a part of one of the largest financial services giants in the world. Joe also relayed plenty of advice for young advisors who are just beginning their careers , and what he would love to go back and tell his younger self about having patience. Joe arrived in America with just $200 in his pocket from Zimbabwe, earned an MBA and then sold two companies to Fortune 500 acquirers.
