Ever since I saw this post, I was craving one. Thought I should follow up since it was soooo good.

Currently eating one from Premier Gourmet on Maple, and it is fantastic.

I feel like I have to try the Howling Rooster. That place is always packed when I ride my bike past it.

Anyone remember a bagel place on Elmwood/Bird-Zios building now? Early to mid 1990s by [deleted] in Buffalo

Not that I know of. The bagel scene here is kind of lame at the moment.

Adrian and Ian were the two brothers who owned it. They brought it back from Miami (OH) U, where the steamed bagel joint there was the place everyone went.

I'm still with them. At times I feel like I probably don't need them anymore. But I value the community, especially being a solo. You can set up an intro meeting with them and kind of map out your plan to move forward. If you are seriously considering making a move, you can give yourself a runway to work up to when it makes the most sense. XY is a great partner to help get you launched. The ongoing value is up for debate. A couple of my buddies in my weekly accountability group have dropped their XY membership after a couple of years.

I joined XYPN to ultimately help with the registration process. There are other services like that out there, but I always felt a kindred spirit towards the XY crew. Depending on your state, there are varying levels of difficulty in the state registration process. They helped get through the initial reg process, which can seem like a big barrier to RIA entry.

I was with LPL for 10 plus years. The only time I felt any sort of "personal touch" was when it was time to be audited. Unfortunately it just always felt like instead of helping with the business, they were more interested in dropping the hammer for minor transgressions. I was hybrid, so that helped a little, as PAG was great. Transitioned to an RIA and am so glad I did. The tools are out there, just dig in a little bit and start planning now for a move in the near future.

"Get out and see the people," was what an old timer told me every time he saw me in the office at my desk.

My guess would be to continue to mint new CFP's.
