A musical theater degree doesn’t sound like the start of a finance career, but it can be. We sit down with Andrew Evans to unpack how “stage skills” like presenting, absorbing information fast, and making complicated ideas feel simple can become a real advantage in wealth management and financial planning. The result is a conversation that’s part origin story, part career roadmap, and part behind-the-scenes look at how the financial services industry actually runs day to day.

We also go deep on “extreme college planning,” including why Andrew’s family moved to Florida to leverage the Bright Futures Scholarship and what it really takes to qualify. It’s a useful lens on how families can reduce the cost of college with smart planning, community service, and clear academic targets, instead of just hoping the numbers work out later.

From there, Andrew breaks down the modern advisor world: why most advisors are not sitting around picking stocks, why strategy and fiduciary stewardship matter, and how compliance and complexity have reshaped the business. He explains Rosby Financial and Rosby Office, a fractional support model he calls “Upwork for financial advisors,” and why regulated work often can’t be fully automated by AI. We also demystify advisor transitions, the project-heavy process of moving a book of business between firms, and why roles like paraplanners, admin support, and data specialists are in real demand.
