I'm not a fan of loosely using the term "pioneer".  Calling Tim Kochis a pioneer in the wealth management industry, however, is pretty darn accurate.  He co-founded Kochis, Fitz, Tracy, Fitzhugh & Gott in 1991, and built a multi-billion dollar RIA and organic growth machine. 17 years later, Tim engineered his own succession when he merged with another RIA, renamed the firm Aspiriant, and then resigned, as planned, in 2012.  Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Tim's past performance, and the wisdom he gained as one of the first ultra-successful RIAs, DOES guarantee that our listeners will learn a few things from this Pioneer on the 11th episode of "Can You Hold My Attention?"
