New episode is live @dasarteyarnway built a successful RIA, served clients for over 12 years, and then sold it all to chase something bigger. In this episode, Dasarte breaks down what it actually means to follow your passion, why intention has to come before every major decision, and how he is now building @benchsportshq , a monetization platform giving creators the tools and data the big platforms don’t want them to have. We also get into athlete identity, shedding old versions of yourself, and why getting out of your own way is the one move every entrepreneur needs to make.

What if “follow your passion” is actually bad advice?
My first guest on episode one of Own Your Revenue is @dasarteyarnway , CEO and Founder of @benchsportshq and he came in dropping gems. Instead of chasing passion, he says follow your blisters. The thing you’re already putting in the work on. The thing you’d grind through even when it’s hard.
And funny enough, I had just heard something that said the same thing a different way: bliss comes with blisters.
That’s the kind of conversation this is.

Entrepreneurs telling their stories, nuggets they have learned along the way and the future of their business.
Two episodes a month.
Think you have a story worth telling? Let’s connect!
You don’t need a financial advisor... Until you do.
Here are the three signs you’ve hit that moment:
Your financial life got complicated. Business income, estate planning, proactive tax strategy. What used to be simple is complex and deserves a second set of eyes.
The weight of your decisions got real. More zeros, more commas. A wrong move can collapse what you’ve spent years building.
It’s not a knowledge gap. It’s a time gap. You’re smart enough to figure it out. You just don’t have the bandwidth. And your finances keep getting pushed to the back burner.
The common thread?
You’ve reached a new level.
And that level requires the right people around you.
We’re here to help!
The financial advisor role is changing. Most people haven’t caught up yet.
McKinsey’s US Wealth Management 2035 report says it clearly: the advisors who win the next decade won’t have the best stock picks. They’ll help clients make better decisions about their money, their business, and their life.
AI builds portfolios now.
Tax strategies are automated.
Information is everywhere.
So what’s left?
Relationships. Accountability. Outcomes.
That’s what we built WIN around.
Our clients are entrepreneurs and athletes making great money but with a lot on the back burner. They don’t need more information. They need someone to help them execute.
That’s us.
Save this if it resonates.
If this sounds like where you are, let’s talk.
Tax season is over. You paid your bill. Now what?
5 things to do RIGHT NOW so next year looks different:
- Know your effective rate
- Max retirement accounts
- Review your entity structure
- Track deductions starting today
- Mid-year tax projection
** Bonus: Work with a proactive CPA, advisor, team **
We are bringing on new clients to start in June.
Most people wait until January to think about taxes.
That’s why most people keep writing the same check.
Start planning now.
Your business is not your retirement plan! Build it, sell it, retire sounds clean. But it requires a lot of things to go right, all at once.
The right buyer, a fair price, the right timing... it’s concentration risk. All your eggs in one basket.
The big change: grow your personal wealth, the same way you grow the business. It won’t hurt the business and will only protect you.
Start simple, but start now. Pay yourself first while you build, a reasonable salary, take advantage of retirement accounts, and let extra cash flow to personal investments.
None of that hurts the business. All of it protects you, and ultimately makes the business itself more resilient.
Most entrepreneurs I talk to have a similar problem.
They have an accountant. They have an advisor. Maybe an attorney. All doing their jobs separately, in their own lane, with no real conversation happening between them.
And the entrepreneur sitting in the middle wonders why their financial life still feels scattered despite making more money than ever.
That's not a you problem. That's a coordination problem.
At some point in your journey, basic financial advice stops being enough. You stop needing someone to manage a portfolio and start needing someone to manage the full picture. Tax strategy, investments, insurance, estate planning, all working together with one clear direction.
That's what a family office model does but typically for a client or family with 50M+ in assets.
I believe this process can be simplified and still provide a ton of value to the families we serve who are in the growth phase.
If this sounds like where you are right now, let's talk.
