Gamechangers with John Keavey

Always focused on the outcome: A conversation with Marlōn Hall (Part 1)

Episode Summary

In this episode I interview Marlōn Hall, a veteran wholesaler in the annuity space and the founder of the Association for Wholesaling Diversity (AWD). I was introduced to Marlōn recently and I found his personal career story very compelling and his work with AWD important to an industry that continues to struggle with diversity. Given the length of our conversation, this episode covers Marlōn’s career and our next published episode will address the AWD organization.
