This week on the Standard Deviations podcast, Dr. Daniel Crosby is joined by Shawn Sparks of Triad Partners
Shawn Sparks has worked with hundreds of advisors throughout his career, showing them how to be better business owners and to achieve the growth in business and life that they deserve. His company, Triad Partners, coined the phrase “Do Business, Do Life” (#DBDL) as a testimony to the possibility of achieving balance as a high achieving advisor. Shawn’s mission is to show advisors strategies for scaling their business that truly supports the lifestyle they desire – while avoiding burnout and improving all aspects of their lives. Shawn puts what he teaches into practice. As the co-owner of one of the fastest growing FMOs of all time, husband and father of 4 kids, he knows firsthand what it’s like to grow a business while raising a young family.
