Elated to be featured this month for top sales in Infinity Financial Advisory. Believe me, it is a tough tough contest. So many powerhouses in our firm!
One cool thing about Infinity Financial Advisory, is that the leadership is still on the ground when it comes to client management and sales.
So the knowledge you get from the leaders isn't "old" and "stale" and "out-dated". But the real life stuff that works for us, and could work for you.
We are in the trenches alongside our advisers, no matter the title or achievements.

You should listen to Kent Thiry.
I was fortunate to stumble on our DaVita investment in 2019 (which we just wrote a little about at commonshares.substack.com! Shameless plug: subscribe free!)
DaVita and its CEO, Kent Thiry, taught me a lot about leadership and a business' value proposition to customers and the world. I bought the stock not just because it was cheap, but because of its value proposition to both the payers (insurers & government), and to its clinical patients. At this point, that value prop cannot be replicated.
That value prop was built by Thiry and his team over decades. He had one goal: "We're going to build the best damn kidney dialysis company in the world", and he did.
When we bought, CEO Kent Thiry had been leading DaVita 20 years. He first joined when operational issues nearly bankrupted the company. He turned it around and consolidated the dialysis industry. In the process, shareholders made ~40 times their money over Thiry's ~20 year tenure, 20% compounded.
Thiry took the scale from consolidating the industry and reinvested a portion of the gains to improve the lives of thousands of patients with ESKD (end-stage kidney disease). Mortality rates at clinics fell. Hospitalization rates fell. And more. All while growing profits and maintaining strong returns on capital.
I listened to the attached fireside chat while doing my due diligence. You should, too. Thiry and DaVita should be a business school case study. He's a phenomenal human being with clear principles and a strong set of ethics, an excellent leader, a business builder, and steward of capital, all rolled up into one person. He's also a great example of how to live your life: watch how he treats employees. Watch how they care.
At one point in the chat, Thiry also dismisses the idea of tension between a successful, capitalist healthcare enterprise (that rewards shareholders with profits) and an enterprise that benefits patients, insurers, and the world. He focused on ways to create so much value that the tension entirely disappears because everyone wins.
Thiry, now retired, passed the baton to COO Javier Rodriguez, his right hand man of many years who shares the same values.
For years, and even under Rodriguez today, the company doesn't begin its quarterly earnings calls by talking about profits, the economy, strategy, etc. They begin with a piece of data about how they've recently improved the patients' lives or reduced the payers' costs.
It turns out, this is actually the lynchpin of the entire moat and business model.
It took me a month to find the all evidence and understand, but it's painfully simple: DaVita makes ESKD patients healthier than anyone else does, so they live longer, healthier, happier lives. At the same time, the fact they're healthier means they cost the insurers and governments less money. DaVita then negotiates a piece of the cost savings, and that's the excess return on capital shareholders earn.
