Mindy Diamond Profiles the Reinvention of LPL Financial

The financial services industry continues to evolve. When LPL Financial’s Rich Steinmeier and Marc Cohen sat down with Mindy Diamond for her podcast in late 2019, LPL had just launched its own evolution in anticipation of the options and innovation today’s advisors seek. Here’s how Rich talked about that vision:
