Episode 59 – Investments and Independence

Guest: Jason Levey, Chief Executive Officer of Canterbury Consulting

In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Jason Levey – Chief Executive Officer of Canterbury Consulting – to discuss the evolving landscape of investment consulting, family wealth planning, and independent advice.

Jason shares how Canterbury has remained independent since its founding in 1988, reflecting many of the same principles that have guided Bridgeford’s growth. The discussion explores why a conflict-free advisory model continues to matter as the financial services industry becomes increasingly consolidated.

The conversation addresses the challenges facing today’s ultra-high-net-worth families, including multi-generational wealth transfer, governance, philanthropy, and the often-overlooked “3%” of wealth planning that extends beyond investment performance. David and Jason also discuss artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, geopolitical uncertainty, and the importance of helping families navigate change while maintaining a long-term perspective.

Episode 55 – Leadership, Community, and Reinvention

Guest: Steve Rosansky, President and CEO of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce

Steve RosanskyIn this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Steve Rosansky – President and CEO of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce – for a thoughtful conversation on leadership, community commitment, and what it takes to build (and rebuild) a thriving business organization.

Steve shares his personal path from real estate law and entrepreneurship to public service, serving nine years on the Newport Beach City Council, including a year as mayor, and how that experience shaped his approach to relationship-building, advocacy, and long-term community investment—values that closely align with Bridgeford’s own commitment to independence and community engagement as we continue to grow our presence in California.

The conversation then turns to one of the most compelling chapters of Steve’s career: stepping into Chamber leadership at a moment of real financial distress and helping guide a full turnaround while simultaneously reinventing programming and events to keep members engaged and ensure the Chamber remains relevant in a changing business landscape.
