Why we founded Rock Harbor

Sean Ritchlin

“After spending a decade in the wholesale industry, I saw an opportunity for a different way to distribute financial strategies to advisors across the country. Traditional wholesale models can get bogged down in activity tracking and an overwhelming amount of product to sell, leading to massive frustration on the sales and management teams alike. By developing a team focused on a smaller product mix from a few asset mangers, we sensed we could change the long-standing way of distribution. We believe combining a digital approach along with a PEOPLE approach offers the best combination for wholesalers to have the freedom to perform. This model has proven to be extremely successful for our business, and more importantly, for our partners.

In the Harbor Podcast - Rich Consul
By Jason Johns March 23, 2026
Making Sense of the Polycrisis: What Markets Are Actually Telling You In the Harbor | Episode 24 featuring Rich Consul of Bankers Edge The headlines are loud right now: geopolitical tension, private credit concerns, energy market volatility, rising interest rates, gold and silver surging. And yet, markets are holding up. So what's really going on? In Episode 24 of In the Harbor, we sit back down with repeat guest Rich Consul of Bankers Edge to unpack what he calls the " Polycrisis " — a macro environment where multiple major forces are colliding at the same time. Rich shares his framework for cutting through the noise, including his weekly practice, " Rich's Weekend Five ," where he translates the week's most important headlines into what actually matters across five key markets: the dollar, energy, stocks, yields, and gold. In this conversation, Rich breaks down why today's environment is simultaneously risk-off and inflationary, why traditional market relationships may be breaking down, and what the consumer balance sheet tells us about liquidity. We also dig into the rotation from large caps into small and mid caps, what's real vs. overblown in the private credit conversation, and why energy may be the single most important variable to watch right now.

In this episode of In the Harbor, we sit down with Lacey Shrum, attorney, former CCO, and founder of Smart Kx. Every RIA. Hi, I’m Lacey Shrum — attorney, former CCO, and founder of Smart Kx. Every RIA I worked with was stressed about fee billing. Calculating and collecting fees is hard enough, documenting and analyzing them adds another layer of complexity. I built Smart Kx to fix that. Most RIAs don’t actually know their revenue numbers or how to change them. Smart Kx helps you take control: report on revenue, analyze your fees, and confidently execute changes. It’s automated, compliant, and built from real user feedback. Besides being the expert on RIA fees... I like to talk about geopolitics, monetary policy and history; I've testified as an expert witness in cryptocurrencies x2. Follow me for fee discussions, dry humor and the occasional parenting hack. If your billing processes are manual, inconsistent, or expensive to maintain… we can help. Our goal is to make sure firms know their revenue, charge what they’re worth, and do it in a way that scales.
