It’s your friends and family model.” – Frank Patalano“Sophisticated" means you understand what you’re investing in. It’s not a guaranteed double-your-money-in-five-years type thing. You could lose everything.” – Frank Patalano“You can’t pitch a 506B on social media, on a stage, or in a group chat with people you don’t know. It’s all about pre-existing relationships.” – Jason Williams🎧 Connect with Jason:✅ LinkedIn✅ https://IroncladUnderwriting.com ✅Linktree🎧 Connect with Frank:✅LinkedIn
