The company I work for, our broker partners, myself? It’s simple, investment. Investing in my future and expanding upon my understanding of every aspect of this amazing industry we’re a part of, doesn’t just benefit me, it adds value that I can take back and share with my team and provides me an avenue to be a better representative to not just to our broker partners but, to our industry.”
