Next Mile Podcast
The Human Side of Scaling Great Advisory Firms
Kyle Van Pelt
Episode 152
On this week’s episode of Next Mile, Jessica Perez and I revisit four standout conversations in this special compilation episode, centered on one of the biggest challenges facing advisory firms today: how to scale while maintaining exceptional client service.
Anne McPhail shares why intentional leadership and culture create lasting organizations. Michael Vedders explains how thoughtful planning and advisor development build stronger firms. Tim Gavin explores the operational mindset required for sustainable growth. And Sarah Simmer reveals how world-class client experiences can be delivered consistently—even as firms expand.
Together, these conversations reinforce a simple idea: sustainable growth isn't driven by technology alone. It's built on people, process, and purpose.
