About this episode

Andrew Brandman discusses how a risky career decision reshaped his trajectory as a leader.

They Said Don’t. Andrew Brandman, COO of DailyPay and a former leader at the New York Stock Exchange, knows risk taking When he decided to join the NYSE back in the day, everyone told him he was making a mistake. “Everyone was saying to me, don’t do it!.” He did it anyway. That decision didn’t just work out — it actually put him at the center of transforming a 200+ year old institution and reshaped the trajectory of his entire career. But it wasn’t just the risk. It was why he took it. He saw a mission big enough to matter. A chance to impact not just a company… but the people behind it — the ones whose lives are affected by every decision. It's a call to action for leaders at every level... - How often are we evaluating opportunities based on comfort… instead of impact? - What if the best career decisions don’t feel safe at all? - What if consensus is actually a warning sign? And how do you know when to ignore smart people… and trust your instincts anyway? ----- Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben Fanning Speaking and Training inquires Subscribe to my Youtube channel LinkedIn Instagram Twitter
