    They Trusted the Brand — Then Everything Fell Apart… Or Did It? | Got Spice? ft. Ryan Walker
    Jun 10 2025

    They trusted the brand. Then everything changed.

    In this episode of Got Spice?, I sit down with Ryan Walker, President of RJ Walker & Co., to talk about what most financial firms still get wrong about PR, marketing, and reputation — even in 2025.

    We cover:

    • Why “Reputation Matters™” is more than a tagline

    • The evolution of RJ Walker from media firm to marketing powerhouse

    • What wealth managers and fintechs must fix if they want to stay relevant

    • How to build trust without buying attention

    • What Ryan learned about risk, reinvention, and starting over

    Whether you’re in wealth, fintech, or any legacy industry trying to modernize, this one’s for you.
