There’s the saying that goes ‘Nice guys finish last.’

Then there’s the nice guy who proves he’s the exception to the rule.

And in the world of mortgage brokers, nice guys can be an anomaly. But today’s guest is trying his best to change that, starting with sharing about his own leadership style.

His name is Grant Botma and his new book is called The Problem Isn’t Their Paycheck: How to Attract Top Talent and Build a Thriving Company Culture.

His company Stewardship is an Inc. 5,000 Fastest Growing Companies in America.

And not only are Grant’s employees among the most productive in their field, but every single one of them loves their job.
