I’m going to tell you a story about Brad that makes me cringe (when thinking about my own behavior), but is a testament to Brad’s integrity and passion for doing what’s right… About 12 or so years ago, Brad and I worked together at an investment newsletter publisher. I was on the marketing team, so my job was to help sell newsletters. Brad was on the editorial team, so his job was to help subscribers make good investments. One day in particular, I crossed the line between marketing and editorial. In short, I had written an article that hyped a risky, high-yield stock. I thought it would help sell newsletters. When Brad saw the article though, he immediately confronted me about it and was passionate in his determination that the stock was far below the quality that anyone from his team would put their stamp of approval on. He wasn’t going to let this article get published on his watch — especially under any of his editors’ names. Brad did what he could to stop it from being published. Of course, I threw a temper tantrum. As a marketer with limited investment experience at the time, I didn’t understand the big deal. Today, however, I do... and I’ll always respect Brad for standing up and doing what was right that day. It wasn’t easy to confront me, but that’s exactly what was needed, and Brad came through for both the company and its subscribers. Brad and I eventually parted ways, as our careers took different turns. But our paths would cross again just a couple years ago. At the time, my new company had recently launched a YouTube channel called Dividends & Income. Over the years I had slowly leaned more and more
