Jenna built a business around school pickups. Now it's reshaping what broking can look like for women and men everywhere.

In this episode of Broker Bulletin, Loan Market's Erin Manhood sits down with Jenna, managing director of The Finance Nest, to unpack how her and her business partner have grown a six broker business with a genuine mission to bring more women into the industry, without ever losing sight of process, culture or client experience.

What you'll take away:

Why The Finance Nest built its own "associate broker" apprenticeship model

How process and systems, not less work, are what actually create flexibility

Jenna's honest take on stepping off the tools and planning succession

Why she rings a bell for every single settlement (and what else gets celebrated)

How AI is being used to buy back time for real client connection
