Ep 24 | Why Most RIA Firms Plateau...And the Kaizen System That Breaks the Growth Barrier

Rob Jacomen & Chad Ramberg Season 1 Episode 24

If you want to grow your RIA—but feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of complexity, inefficiency, or burnout—this episode might change everything.

Chad Ramberg, President of Box Professional Insurance, joins co-host Rob Jacomen for a special behind-the-scenes episode that unpacks how top-performing firms scale through process, not just hustle.

Chad shares how he’s applying Kaizen (continuous improvement) and lean startup systems—not just to insurance, but to team building, client service, and long-term growth.

You’ll hear firsthand how Box Pro went from reactive workflows to a precise, repeatable “improvement engine” that empowers their team, reduces burnout, and delivers a world-class experience to clients.

This isn’t theory. It’s a practical blueprint built in the trenches.

You’ll Discover:

✅ Why most firms confuse growth with grind—and how to break that pattern
✅ What Kaizen really means (and how to use it to optimize every part of your business)
✅ The power of daily inputs and how BPI built a two-hour rhythm to drive consistent execution
✅ Why "waiting" can be a form of value—and when it's just waste
✅ How to think like an operations designer (even if you’re a visionary)
