Jan & Bryan Bradford
After many years with a captive organization, Bryan Bradford started a new journey into the independent marketplace. He took all the things he learned from a recruit-and-sell model and transitioned to learning how to build an actual practice.
Bryan became a student of the industry and considered what he wanted his practice to look like. He also decided that he want to give back and improve his community in the process. It started with an inquiry of putting up a POW/MIA flag in his town, and then soon took on a life of its own where he became the go-to guy for veterans needing help.
In the process, Bryan chaired the building of a $250,000 veterans memorial, increasing advocacy for veterans and bringing attention to their issues. He helped start a “Veterans Court” so vets could get special treatment if their crimes could be linked to their service. He brought a PTSD recovery program to his state, which is being taught in several locations. After meeting with the Michigan Joint Forces Command. the program is also being offered and advocated to current and past Michigan military members.
Bryan never anticipated that while he was building his brand in the community it would have also boasted his credibility as well. Having met with state and federal officials over the years, always to push for ways to improve serving our veterans, in 2017 Bryan helped write a bill that redefined the definition of what a veteran actually is. That bill brought help to the 24% of the veterans in the state that could not receive help because they did not serve in time of war.
Bryan says that he could not be more proud of what he feels God has led him to do. Now, the organizations he founded are starting a veteran’s ministry to include all generations of veterans and their families. Bryan and his lovely wife, Jan, are so excited for the next 10 years.
We, at HBW, are equally excited and honored to have this amazing couple as partners in our company! When we talk about finding the “why” behind what you do, Bryan is an excellent example of that.
