What sets top business leaders apart? It’s not just technical expertise—it’s the ability to build trust, understand client values, and guide them with emotional intelligence.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Keith Ford at the IFA for a podcast episode around the Intergenerational Wealth Transfer. Keith Ford, a prominent figure in the financial advisory industry, is known for his insightful discussions on the IFA podcast.
