Host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is joined by Corey Wastle, the founder of independent financial advice business Verse Wealth, to talk about the adviser exodus and why proactivity matters. Corey and Maja attempt to answer one of today's most prominent questions — how to attract new entrants into the industry.
