In this episode of “Mics On With Lon,” AP CEO and Osaic Vice Chairman Lon T. Dolber sits down with affiliated colleague Jim Verdi, CFP, president of Synergy Wealth Strategies. Twenty-four years ago, Jim began his career at the wirehouse firms. Eight years later, his hard-earned paid dues put him to the test as he powered through the Great Recession, driven by a defining decision to go independent with American Portfolios. It’s a great entrepreneurial story worth leaning into.
