He is able to simplify and explain in everyday language even the most complex concepts and alternatives. His reputation for unquestioned integrity is far more important to him than any fee or commission.    Brad inspires many having worked his way up the corporate ladder from an operations manager position in Birmingham, AL to eventually forming his financial services company.  By the age of 29 he had made enough money to seek advice from a financial advisor about his long-term financial goals and he found a mentor that believed in him. http://askbradwilliams.com  https://www.facebook.com/askbradwilliams --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rebecca-l-mahan/support
