Description

Entrepreneurship can and should be life-giving, but it takes intentionality to build a business that serves your life. Brad Johnson started Triad to help people do just that — working with independent financial advisors to help them scale their businesses. In this episode, Brad talks about the process of transitioning from an independent operator to a leader, the importance of candid conversations in difficult moments, and why he believes every entrepreneur needs therapy. He also explains why “Do business, do life” has become a rallying cry for his team.
