How do our most senior leaders, and those that offer them consultation, feel about the direction and trajectory of our industry?
What is their outlook on the future state of wholesaling and, based on their considerable experiences, what lessons would they help us all learn?
Welcome to The New Wholesaler Masterminds Radio Show and this special series of episodes we’re calling: Lessons From Leaders
In this episode, sponsored by Money Management Institute’s Center for Distribution Excellence, we interview: Jim Jessee, CIMA®, CLU®:
After +15-years of service to our wholesaling community, I've now retired - and I’m committed to keeping all our resources available for future generations of wholesalers and their leaders – but only as long as it makes fiscal sense.
