Carmine Corino on Only Fee-Only: From Broker-Dealer to Fee-Only RIA

LISTEN ON ONLY FEE-ONLY NOW

What does it really take to leave a traditional broker-dealer environment and build something different?

Carmine Corino joined Broc Buckles and Peter Ciravolo on the Only Fee-Only Podcast to talk about his own path to independence, what ultimately pushed him to make a change, and what he has learned since launching an independent RIA.

The conversation also goes beyond the transition itself. Carmine shares his perspective on scaling without burning out, creating more capacity through delegation, narrowing your focus, and being intentional about where your time goes.

In this episode, they discuss:

• The frustrations that can build inside traditional broker-dealer and insurance environments

• Carmine’s decision to launch an independent RIA in 2020

• The story and thinking behind

  Broken Dealer

• The difference between a firm allowing you to build a certain way and truly supporting you

• “Growth by elimination” and why doing less can create more capacity

• Delegation, client segmentation, and protecting the advisor’s time

• What advisors should consider before making a move

One of the biggest themes in the conversation is simple: independence is not just about leaving something behind. It is about creating the structure, support, and clarity to build the kind of practice you actually want.
