Brian Bailey – Managing Partner – Bailey Financial Group – Northwestern Mutual Financial Network | Boise, ID

“When I was a kid and a teenager, I always wanted to be just like my Dad. He could do it all! He was a great athlete, an accomplished hunter, he was an MDRT qualifier in his first year in the business and every year following, totaling 43 years. He has made Top of the Table the last four out of five years. He could motivate me to take the hill at any moment. He truly follows Christ in his daily life and has served in community organizations giving back for over 30 years. I tell you this because there are few people that can measure up to my father, not necessarily because of his accolades, but simply because of his daily living of the Golden Rule. I realize more each day how hard it can be at times to be what we should be. I can say without hesitation that you are one of the very few who can measure up in my eyes to someone like my father. You cause me to look internally with comments like, “You can never underestimate the influence you have on the people you lead”, or “Life is about being all you can be, not about being better than someone else.” As we all know, we face adversity in life. It is at these times I pull from those who have coached me and influenced my life. Again, you are one of these people. Thank you for spending the time and energy that I know it takes to effectively coach me. You keep charging on purpose!”
