She Didn't Take The Easy Way Out with Duncan Williams

Driven By with Sam Coates

My guest today is Duncan Williams. I wanted to have Duncan on this podcast because What started as a small regional municipal bond firm in 1969 grew to be one of the largest female-owned bond broker-dealers in the United States. In addition to this work, this family has a strong presence as a holding company in farmland, apartments, and senior living facilities in the southeastern part of the United States. This is great story that shows what one generation's risk and sacrifice can do for communities, people, and opportunities decades down the line. In this episode, you will hear:

• Choosing not to sell the family business when unexpected events hit your family
• Building a holding company- how to pick the right people, give them what they need, and get out of their way
• How to build a brand- watching some of the best companies in the world and how they build theirs and learning from them along the way
• A passion for jobs- the new world order, and making sure people get what they need to flourish in the communities you are apart of
• Plus much more!
