RIA Confidential - From Podcast to Platform Why RIA Confidential Is Becoming the Independent Resource Hub

RIA Confidential is evolving from a podcast into a platform.

In this founding episode, attorney Jonathan Andrews and RIA transition expert Ray Gettins (Your RIA Mentor) explain why RIA Confidential is becoming a vendor-neutral Resource Hub built for modern advisors who want clarity without the pitch. If you’ve ever felt buried under “education” that quietly turns into a funnel, this episode lays out the real problem. It’s not an information issue. It’s an incentive issue. And that’s exactly what the Resource Hub is designed to solve. You’ll hear the “RIA Confidential Pledge” (our trust contract), what it means in practice, what’s inside the new Hub (Start Here, Roadmap, Tools, and the Resource Library), and how we’re protecting editorial independence as we formalize the entity and pursue nonprofit status. In this episode, we cover:

• Why the industry has an incentive problem and how it creates advisor paralysis
• The 5-point RIA Confidential Pledge and what it looks like in real life
• What’s changing: the podcast stays the voice, the Hub becomes the infrastructure
• What you’ll find in Start Here, the Roadmap, Tools, and the Resource Library
• How to use the Hub based on your stage: exploring, planning, already independent
• How advisors can shape the platform through the Question Box, Signal Drops, and real stories
• A preview of 2026: RIA Confidential Live and the Roadshow conversations
