092: Triad Member - From Stuck to Significance: How to 3x Growth Without Burning Out with Dana & Tyler Dunkelberger

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL

Can you scale your business at breakneck speed without sacrificing the service you provide or your quality of life?

Triad members Dana and Tyler Dunkelberger from Reliance Financial Partners, have proven it’s possible.

Their story is one many advisors will find relatable. Starting as a small team of six, they wore many hats and achieved impressive results, averaging $30M in new assets annually. But with growth came mounting stress, and they eventually hit a plateau. Fast forward to November 2024, they’re on pace for $90M in new assets.

But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Like many advisors, they found themselves stretched too thin—caught in the grind of endless seminars and meetings while struggling to scale sustainably. They were on the verge of total burnout and realized they’d become their own worst enemy.

Their solution? A radical shift in mindset that prioritized leadership, strategic hiring, and streamlined processes. The result: 3x growth, happier clients and families, and a thriving business that allows them to truly do business, do life.
