What Makes You Different When Everyone Says the Same Thing?

We put clients first” is meaningless… unless you can prove it.

In this episode of Humans of Growth, host Aly Hathcock sits down with Ben VerWys, founder of Fiduciary Financial Advisors (FFA)—a wealth management firm that has scaled to 40+ advisors without spending a dime on traditional marketing.

Ben shares the strategy behind FFA’s organic growth engine, built entirely on clear positioning, brand values, and referral-based momentum. Instead of flashy funnels or paid ads, Ben focused on building a value proposition that’s fact-based, legally enforced, and transparently client-first—in an industry where most messaging is vague and undifferentiated.

Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or scaling a professional services brand, this episode is a masterclass in how to turn your internal values into external growth.

You’ll Learn:

• Why “we put clients first” is meaningless without proof
• How to create a differentiated brand in a commoditized market
• Why fee transparency and fiduciary-only models are winning
• How FFA built an inbound growth engine with zero ad spend
• The marketing power of operational decisions (not slogans)
• Why most “top 10 firm” lists are SEO plays, not value indicators
• How FFA turned tax planning into a scalable referral lever
• Why advisor experience can be as important as client experience
• The mindset shift that took Ben from reluctant founder to growth CEO

If you're ready to build a brand that grows through trust & differentiation, this episode is for you.
