Episode notes
Competition Can Overshadow Purpose
- A competitive culture can drive early growth but may overshadow personal goals and client-centric values.
- True purpose matters more than just being competitive for competition's sake, which can misalign priorities.
Client Load Reality Check

- This insight led him to reject volume-based client models typical in insurance firms.
