Since then, he’s remained steadfast in this mission.

A life-long learner, Chris is always learning from the best of the best – from within our industry and from outside. In his podcast, Turning the Page, Chris will bring you the stories, the lessons, and the winning ideas from the people who have made it and from those who are reshaping the future of financial advice.
