#4 - John Araujo, EVP, Gallagher
Our guest today is John Araujo, Executive Vice President with Gallagher which recently bought the business he built at Affiliated Benefit Consultants. John was a great guest and we had an entertaining and wide-ranging discussion, which unfortunately was cut off quite early due to technical difficulties. Lesson learned there for sure, but I will share with you what I have.
