Hi, my name is Bernard Desmond,

00:00:01.891 --> 00:00:03.692 align:center
founder and CEO of Blank Financial.

00:00:04.413 --> 00:00:05.995 align:center
My role at Blank Financial is

00:00:06.035 --> 00:00:08.597 align:center
to lead by example and pave

00:00:08.637 --> 00:00:10.299 align:center
the path for the next generation

00:00:10.339 --> 00:00:12.521 align:center
of mortgage brokers within Australasia.

00:00:12.921 --> 00:00:14.723 align:center
My first ever job was working

00:00:14.763 --> 00:00:16.985 align:center
for a logistics company in IT.

00:00:17.045 --> 00:00:18.506 align:center
I was a systems administrator.

00:00:18.907 --> 00:00:20.288 align:center
My favorite cuisine is Thai.

00:00:20.928 --> 00:00:22.490 align:center
I love a spicy Thai rye.

00:00:23.271 --> 00:00:24.972 align:center
Hidden talents, I've got a lot

00:00:25.012 --> 00:00:25.212 align:center
of them.

00:00:26.073 --> 00:00:27.794 align:center
One of my favorites is I

00:00:27.874 --> 00:00:28.654 align:center
love to dance.

00:00:29.015 --> 00:00:31.276 align:center
And when I dance, I'm quite

00:00:31.336 --> 00:00:31.936 align:center
animated.

00:00:32.396 --> 00:00:34.778 align:center
My best lesson that I've learned

00:00:34.818 --> 00:00:36.338 align:center
from both my mom and dad

00:00:36.599 --> 00:00:38.379 align:center
is hold your reputation.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.882 align:center
Your reputation precedes you before even

00:00:42.922 --> 00:00:44.303 align:center
you go about anything.

00:00:44.703 --> 00:00:47.584 align:center
So do not compromise your values

00:00:48.385 --> 00:00:50.005 align:center
and stay true to yourself.

00:00:50.546 --> 00:00:52.507 align:center
Funniest memory of myself is

00:00:57.489 --> 00:00:58.518 align:center
A few come on, but I

00:00:58.559 --> 00:00:59.608 align:center
don't know if I should be

00:00:59.628 --> 00:01:00.092 align:center
saying that.
