At one point, Colleen Bowler was doing it all — leading client relationships, growing her firm, and keeping every plate spinning. Then she found her "whos" and built the firm to over $500 million in AUM. Then she sold it.

Now, she’s on a mission to help other advisors scale without sacrificing themselves in the process.

In this episode of Advisors Off Script, Shelby Nicholl sits down with Colleen to trace her journey — from the early days of building a successful practice, to coaching inside The Strategic Coach, to developing tools now used by advisors across the country through her firm C & J Innovations.

What emerges is a story about growth — not just in revenue, but in mindset. About choosing the right “Whos” over doing it all yourself. And about protecting your most valuable resources: your energy, your time, and your vision.

In this episode:

• How Colleen built and exited a $500 million practice
• The mindset shift from do-er to builder
• What the best advisors are doing to scale without burnout
• Why saying “no” is a business strategy
• How assessments can deepen client relationships and accelerate growth

This isn’t just advice. It’s a blueprint for building a firm — and a life — that lasts.
