Brad is COO, CCO, and Partner at Diversified Portfolios, Inc., based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

How to structure your study group to ensure each member gains the most from it
The processes at each of their firms that have needed to change as their firms have grown
The pros and cons of building a “best-of-breed” technology stack vs. adopting an “all-in-one” solution
