Kristen Oliveri wrote this at the new Crain Currency – {a magazine} masking household workplaces and wealth administration – yesterday afternoon:

Enter Future Proof: a wealth administration competition that’s determined to shake issues up. Founders Josh Brown and Matt Middleton of Ritholtz Wealth Management knew the business was due for some change, so that they boldly determined to prepared the ground.

All the occasion was exterior on the seashore. Levels have been erected, meals vehicles have been displayed, huddle tables and excessive high tables have been scattered all through the competition website to make sure that spontaneous networking might occur at any time, wherever.

It was by far probably the most various group of individuals I’ve ever seen gathered to debate the way forward for wealth—to not point out the staggering variety of ladies in attendance.

The content material was extraordinarily various as effectively. Whereas there have been the normal main-stage panels, in addition they did stay periods of podcast episodes, hearth chats, private progress workshops in addition to wellness and meals and beverage networking actions. You possibly can get up and do yoga on the seashore and catch a fast salsa lesson mid-afternoon.

We’ve had different write-ups with a equally shocked tone. It’s nonetheless a bit stunning that we might pull one thing like this off, on the scale we did it. Nobody else has ever tried it, which is why individuals are nonetheless incredulous. “They really did it. All of the stuff they promised would occur has occurred!” 

Yup.

And we’ll do it once more subsequent 12 months, even larger. As a result of my folks at Ritholtz Wealth Management and the Advisor Circle individuals are a part of the identical tribe. The “Simply you wait and see” membership. The over-deliver membership. Worst factor you are able to do is inform folks like us that we are able to’t do one thing. You don’t wish to try this.

Due to all the good reporters who made it out to Future Proof this week to doc the occasion. Due to all the oldsters who got here as friends however wrote about their experiences for LinkedIn, Instagram, Fb, Twitter or their very own blogs. We see you and we recognize the eagerness with which you’ve informed the story of your individual journey out west.
