I’m trapped in the bowels of the Gray Council building. And I don’t know if I’ll ever get out.

In Uncomparable, veteran financial services marketing consultant Kristen Luke challenges the traditional concept of striving to be the best financial advisor in the industry. Instead, encourages financial advisors to become "uncomparable" by owning a niche and establishing themselves as an expert in solving one problem for one type of client.
