Today, Sarah and Mike are focused on sharing the Gift of Symmetry with other leaders looking to TRANSFORM THEIR LIFE!
Mike Pappas
Senior Vice President
Attending National Conference as a “supportive spouse” is where Mike Pappas first saw the opportunity available with Symmetry Financial Group. Having consulted with thousands of businesses in his prior profession, Mike saw a company with an unbeatable business model.
What really stood out were the ‘intangibles’ like SFG’s world class culture and seeing the owners being extremely grounded, down to earth leaders. This is what Mike accredits to giving him the confidence to walk away from a 6 figure income and VP level position.
In addition to Symmetry, Mike helps entrepreneurs discover their true self in order to create their ideal future. Through authoring several books, Hosting a #1 Podcast, The Contract CFO Show and creating a money course designed specifically for Symmetry Agents!
