Roger and Ron touch on a range of topics from how regulations and priority changes have negatively impacted the financial industry to his career as a standup comedian. They also discuss what it was like growing up as the son of a policeman, his career in wealth management, and how today's younger generation is afraid to laugh.

He spent most of his career as an investment banker and wealth manager at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citi. Ron is a former member of the University of Tennessee's Board of Regents and authored the book "There’s No Such Thing as a Pretty Good Alligator Wrestler," which received the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Award for Humor/Satire.
