As 2025 draws to a close, it’s a good moment to reflect on the year gone by. One of the highlights for me has been hosting some true rockstars on my podcast, GwG Chats With… 🎙️
😇 The intent behind the podcast was simple: to capture the experiences and insights of industry stalwarts so others can learn from them.
When I reached out to these leaders and shared this vision, each of them graciously agreed to be a part of the conversation.
Staying true to that purpose, I’m now sharing the complete podcast videos on GwG’s YouTube channel.
