Adam KnorrGUEST
Took me four years of journalism school to realize journalists don't make any money.
Adam KnorrGUEST
So through some good old-fashioned nepotism, I got a job wholesaling for Jackson National.
Adam KnorrGUEST
Spent six years as a wholesaler between Jackson and AllianceBernstein.
Adam KnorrGUEST
In 2022, I realized I really wanted to get back into writing.
Hillary GaleHOST
Adam has a background that most people wouldn't expect from a LinkedIn expert.

He started his career as a Series 7 holder working at Jackson National, and then as a wholesaler at AllianceBernstein before leaving the industry to move to Hawaii and reinvent himself as a copywriter and ghostwriter.

Adam KnorrGUEST
I used to ...
Adam KnorrGUEST
For, for background, I worked in the financial services industry for six years.
Adam KnorrGUEST
I was a wholesaler at Jackson National and at AllianceBernstein, and so I have the proof on my, on my profile.
Adam KnorrGUEST
For years when I was at AB, great firm, love the people there, nothing bad to say about them, but they would have me push out the firm generate hearsay posts, and advisors listening know exactly what that looks like.
Mark AnneseGUEST
And we decided to start going out and knocking on doors.
Mark AnneseGUEST
And we knocked on doors like T. Rowe Price, Jackson National, all those larger companies.
Mark AnneseGUEST
The problem we had, it was like trying to sell a fax machine in 1978.
Mark AnneseGUEST
No one cared and no one knew what it was.
Adam KnorrGUEST
I decided I did not wanna do that with my life at 22 years old.
Adam KnorrGUEST
So my older brother worked as a wholesaler at Jackson National on the annuity and life insurance side at that time.
Conner YoungHOST
Mm.
Adam KnorrGUEST
Good old-fashioned nepotism.
Stacy HavenerHOST
So you're at Morningstar for 13 years
Bill HardingGUEST
and? I'm at Morningstar for 13 years and I was contacted by a recruiter regarding a role at Jackson National, and at that time, I didn't really know much about Jackson National at all.
Bill HardingGUEST
I didn't know much about the variable annuity industry in which Jackson operates, but the role itself was intriguing to me.
Bill HardingGUEST
It was leading an investment team that was responsible for doing manager research, so I decided to look into it.
Stacy HavenerHOST
That's a great, and I'm sure it's on your materials.
Stacy HavenerHOST
It's awesome.
Stacy HavenerHOST
And I think what's interesting, so again, if I put myself in the shoes of the listener, they're like, how are Stacey and Bill friends though? Because wouldn't Jackson National be investing in all the bigs? And wouldn't that be the easiest thing for Jackson to do is just get the pages and look at the biggest fun shops and say, great, we'll just have BlackRock and Vanguard and all these things.
Stacy HavenerHOST
So I'm going to let you speak to that.
