Leaders of four indie broker-dealers share details on their "go-to" sources of entertainment during the pandemic.
Investment Advisor: Turning to lighter questions, what is your favorite show, favorite book and favorite drink these days/?
John Burmeister, Lion Street: “Green Arrow” for a show; fiction by author John Sanford; and Tito’s vodka and Sprite. I keep it simple.
Ryan Diachok, Geneos: “Ozark;” fiction by James Rollins; and it’s gotta be Corona beer. I always get a funny look at the store when I’m buying it.
Amy Webber, Cambridge: “Game of Thrones; the non-fiction book “The Trident” by Jason Redman, based on his military experience; and mimosas.
Lon Dolber, American Portfolios: “Ozark;” “Subscribed” by Tien Tzuo, about the subscription-based economy; and water. I’ve been doing a lot of cycling with a mask on, and it’s hot out there!
