Career paths rarely follow a straight line and sometimes the best opportunities come from unexpected places.
What happens when you find yourself in a role that doesn’t align with your values? How do you discover work that truly matters?
In this episode, Andrew Evans interviews Leslie Lipscomb, Senior Vice President at Financial Independence Group, about her journey from hating her first insurance job to building a nearly 20-year career she loves. She shares how FIG’s technology platform helps advisors simplify their legacy business, the growth of women in financial services, and the meaningful “why” that drives her work every day.
