Bartalos writes, “Over several weeks and interviews, pressure built as I struggled to find a reporter. I was admittedly extremely picky but, given that RIA Intel was a new publication (and small operation), this hire would play a critical role in determining the website’s success.
“Then, as if beamed down by a “Star Trek” transporter, Michael Thrasher suddenly materialized. When we met in Midtown Manhattan, he was brimming with energy, great story ideas, and a winning attitude. By all appearances, he had done terrific work as a reporter at WealthManagement.com for two and a half years covering industry trends and the largest wealth managers.
“Michael was soon on board and immediately demonstrated a knack for developing sophisticated story angles. His interpersonal skills, high journalistic standards, and tireless work ethic quickly became evident as did rising website traffic.
“RIA Intel has tried to raise the caliber of journalism devoted to wealth management. We hope that is apparent in our daily coverage, which focuses on wealth management, practice management, investing, and interviews with leading industry figures.”
