James Catledge

It's all over the place. And I'm disgusted by the idea of it. And this is just my little arrogant way of thinking, okay? It's not right. It's just the way I'm thinking. Okay. So he says, World Market Alliance, you'll have your own contract with all the carriers. We've got lots of technology, lots of tools, lots of software. And I'm thinking, okay, that sounds great. It's a split. Yeah.

And I said, I did ask him, I said, how much do you make on my efforts? He goes, well, if you do nothing, I make nothing. But if you succeed, you'd be a first generation manager to me. And he says, the great thing, James, is you can build your own general agents. And I thought, okay, that means I'd never lose a James Catledge. If I find one, I don't have to lose him for his ambition. He can stay.

And so that was very appealing to me. The idea that I could hire someone with my mindset, my skillset, and they never leave. And so I go on, it takes me about eight years, but inside that culture, That's where I made $59 million with that one company. Okay. Now, if you want to know how it ramps up.

Everything's fine. I'm going to make it a truckload of money.

We didn't just wake up in a Ponzi scheme, and it was not a Ponzi scheme, although that is the journalist view of this. Here's what happened. World Market Alliance is sold. My mentor, Hubert Humphrey, sells it to Agon, a publicly traded company. I stay around one more year. We renamed the company World Financial Group. Better name. Yeah, definitely.

I leave World Financial Group, take about 300 guys with me. They write me a check for several million dollars because they're going to keep the rest of my guys. And now I sign a non-circumvention on the rest of my guys. I'm not going to take them. But I do have 325 that left with me. I start my own company. I now go get my own contracts. Agon provides me with one of my contracts, by the way.

And I end up recruiting 8,000 agents. Not direct, but through my organization, I have 8,000 licensed guys. We are selling, you just cannot imagine the volume of transactions that are happening.

I'm getting there. I'm getting there. I have a real estate. Everybody, this is back when your housekeeper owned three rental properties. Okay. Sure. Okay. We all remember this, right? Everybody owned rental properties. We have no real estate to offer inside our portfolio. None. We're insurance, we're annuities, mutual funds. There's no real estate. It seemed like an omission.
