This episode will sound different because we recorded it at our live event in Nashville in January of 2022. The topic, though, is familiar. Sten and Andy discuss the role of community in the life of an advisor.  Are the people you work with helping you succeed or holding you back? What makes a great community? What should be required of people in a healthy community? Should you pay for a community, or should it be free?  Are lead groups like BNI worth it?  The answers to those questions and more are in this episode.  TheLevelUpCommunity.com eAdvisorNetwork.com StenMorgan.com/11
