In the series premiere of Beers and Finance, Jason Basseal (JB) reflects on his 23-year evolution from a bedroom-based broker to a multi-office business owner. Joined by Anthony, Austin, and Courtney, JB discusses the industry's shift from the unregulated "Wild West" of 2004 to today’s high-compliance landscape.

The team dives into the "growing pains" of leadership, exploring the vital difference between being a boss and an inspiring leader. They emphasize that hiring for cultural fit is more important than expertise alone, noting how strong processes have doubled productivity while reducing stress. From managing remote staff to using "banter" to bridge the gap with junior employees, this episode offers a transparent look at building a thriving finance business.
