Changing how Black Americans use life insurance could shrink the racial wealth gap

One of the best parts of my job has always been getting out of the office and spending time with clients.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my career, it’s that the best leaders don’t wait until the last minute to plan for the future. Whether you’re running a team of five or five hundred, the earlier you start planning and budgeting, the stronger your results will be, not just for you, but for everyone who counts on you. 

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned as a leader is that perspective is everything. You can sit in meetings, read reports, and talk strategy all day long, but if you’re only seeing the world from your desk, your view will always be limited.

Recently, I embarked on a journey that’s been years in the making, one that’s focused on something I care deeply about: shaping the next generation of leaders.
