  • A must for those looking to the next level

    Brad and the DBDL team are writing the playbook for how, already successful agents/advisors, can learn from those who’ve found a way to crack the code.

    For those new to the industry, this is an absolute must if you want to learn how to differentiate yourself in the business and accelerate your learning curve.

    Not the least of which is learning how to make sure you don’t forget about why you’re doing it in the first place!
