May 09, 2018
Kyle Mast joins us on the show to talk about his career journey, which started in a family business through a succession plan and ended with him owning his own RIA. He discusses the details of his business, Clarity Financial, LLC, and the strategies he has used to build it successfully. Kyle discusses how he reached a place he’s happy with and how he is ready to pull back and spend more time with family.
With a purchased book of business and some great experience under his belt, Kyle got off to a solid start. He talks about how that worked for him and shares other details about his multiple office spaces and client range. He also breaks down the fee structure he uses and why a regulator actually told him his fees were too low when he first started out.
