In the second episode of this special three-part anniversary edition of the WFG Insights podcast, Starting Up During a Meltdown, WFG Chairman and Founder Patrick Stone reflects on launching WFG in the middle of the Great Recession.

Pat shares the inspiration behind founding a company built on communication, collaboration, and coexistence—principles that set WFG apart from traditional, hierarchical title insurance models. He discusses the decision to start during a down market, the importance of building bridges with lenders, Realtors, and appraisers, and the value of creating a flatter organization where communication flows freely at every level.

Listeners will also hear personal stories from Pat’s early career, including the discipline and stoic philosophy that shaped his leadership, lessons from both successes and failures, and insights on navigating uncertainty in today’s real estate and mortgage markets.!

Packed with real-world lessons, candid advice, and inspiration for professionals facing unpredictable times, this episode is one you won’t want to miss!
