“Clients tell me all the time that they feel more connected, more informed, and more confident because of those little touchpoints. It’s a way to educate, stay visible, and reinforce that I’m here for them – not just at review meetings, but all year round”
Megan Dorn, Dorn Wealth Management
Angela Brill, MBA, CFP®, CDFA®, AIF® is CEO of both Prosperity Advisors and Prosperity Network of Advisors, overseeing $8.3 billion in assets under advisement.
Her career in financial services is a testament to the power of both strategic planning and seizing opportunity, as after gaining an early interest in the industry, Brill began her professional journey in marketing and product development.
However, a pivotal move to Kansas City and a fortuitous meeting with Paul Ewing, CFP®, founder of Prosperity Advisors, set her on a new path that would lead to the top ranks of the financial advisory world.
Her dual role presents a unique challenge: balancing responsibilities as a trusted advisor to her clients with the demands of running a rapidly expanding firm. However, Brill navigates this complexity with a blend of empathy, relatability, and meticulous attention to detail.
She says, “I take my relationship with my staff and clients very seriously. I am very attentive to detail, aim to be thorough and always try to do an outstanding job for our team and our clients. Honestly, I don’t sleep well when the market goes down. I care that much.”
Brill’s professional philosophy centers on relationships as she believes that empathy is her strongest quality as an advisor, enabling her to connect deeply with clients.
“Whether supporting them through a difficult or joyous life event, I’m always keeping the uniqueness of their perspective top of mind and meeting them where they are to work together,” she explains. “The trust a client gives isn’t really about the balance in their account; it’s about the confidence they have in me, and I work very hard to earn that from each client I serve.”
This empathy extends to Brill’s colleagues as she possesses a relatability to understand and address the needs, challenges, and goals of the advisors she leads. This dual perspective — as both a leader and a practicing advisor — allows her to serve her network with authenticity and insight.
A lifelong learner, Brill is also dedicated to continually expanding her investment knowledge and actively immerses herself in conferences, peer groups, and industry best practices.
As a woman in finance, Brill sees her gender not as a barrier but as a strength. She acknowledges that while the industry has its challenges, many are universal to all advisors. She believes that women’s natural aptitude for nurturing relationships is a distinct advantage in a field built on trust and connection.
For Brill, delivering for clients means ultimately providing them with peace of mind in their financial plan. Her aim is to remove any worries and allow them to be at ease with their future.
She adds, “I know when that happens because they tell me so, and it’s a sentiment many of us at Prosperity hear from our clients. I look at every day as a chance to serve people and help them live more confident lives.”

As a founding member of WOW! (Women. Opportunity. Winning.), an employee resource group created for all women of Ryan Specialty, Phillips Topping has long championed for women in the industry.
“It’s very important to set an example and to not only inspire but mentor other females,” she adds.
In addition to her sharp marketing eye, the key to Phillips Topping’s success lies in her high-energy approach and positive attitude.
“As the leader of a team, it’s important to motivate and encourage your team members. People work very hard and do their best and it’s important to recognize these efforts. For my career overall, my attitude has been one of curiosity. The more you can learn, the better you’ll understand the business, and then the deeper your knowledge will become, making you a better team member.”

Despite facing industry biases, such as being mistaken for an assistant at events, she refused to let female stereotypes define her. Instead, she’s built a thriving network of women advisors and found a strong ally in Harbour Investments, which supports her growth as a leader, business owner, and mother.
Client satisfaction isn’t measured in Dorn’s office by closing ratios or one-time feedback – it’s reflected in loyalty, longevity, and referrals. Her communications strategy features handwritten and even hand-drawn birthday cards because in her words, “the little things matter”.
Another offering is short videos delivered a few times per month, providing quick updates on market changes, financial tips, or just simple reassurance during uncertain times.
She explains, “Clients tell me all the time that they feel more connected, more informed, and more confident because of those little touchpoints. It’s a way to educate, stay visible, and reinforce that I’m here for them – not just at review meetings, but all year round.”
Empowerment is an ambition of Dorn’s, believing that financial education leads to strong communities. However, she only works with individuals who match her values.
“I also don’t take on every prospective client who walks through the door. I’m intentional about making sure it’s a good fit on both sides,” she adds. “My clients are more like family, and I want to make sure I can provide real value to them. That means listening closely, being transparent, and never overpromising.”
