Episode Summary:
In this powerful and intimate episode, Bram speaks with Rishi Jaitley, COO of My Insurance Broker — the partner brokerage behind Maverick Insurance Brokers — to reflect on what it means to build something bold, personal, and legacy-driven.
Set against the backdrop of Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square (on 4/16 no less — a nod to the city’s area code), this conversation dives into Bram’s motivations for launching publicly in such a big way, and what this milestone means for his family, his business, and his future.
They talk about entrepreneurship, identity, inner voice, and what it looks like to lead by example — for your peers, your kids, and your community.
