My Story – Logan Mueller, a Financial Representative

Published: November 13, 2024

Becoming a financial representative was never my top career choice. I graduated from Buena Vista University with a degree in agricultural business and finance. So initially, I planned to pursue a career in ag seed sales or ag banking.

But some of my friends referred me to a recruiter at Mutual of Omaha — and I’m so glad they did. During my interview, I learned being a financial representative could help me achieve three very important career goals:

I could work closely with people and have a lasting impact on their lives.
I’d be able to build a career in business, work for a leading company and one day have a business of my own.
In addition, I’d earn a steady income and qualify for incentive opportunities.

But there’s much more to know about my career journey as a financial representative. Watch the video for the rest of my story.

My name is Logan Mueller and I'm a financial rep here based out of Omaha, Nebraska. Originally from the Columbus, Nebraska area, I went to Buena Vista University here in 2018 and got an ag business and finance degree, where I played baseball for five years as well. After graduating from Buena Vista, I had a couple of different options about a career path.

I didn't know if I wanted to go in ag seed sales or if I wanted to do ag banking. Or a couple of my old teammates had worked at Mutual of Omaha and had referred me to one of their recruiters there. There were a lot of questions that I had when I was looking at Mutual of Omaha program, what I knew when I was looking for career opportunities, I knew I wanted to be talking with people, and I knew I wanted to be in business.

Honestly, it was a great experience. After talking with them about the opportunities that Mutual of Omaha presented, I felt like it was a right fit to at least go into the interview process and make those next steps. And so, with the other opportunities that I had, I felt like this was the best opportunity to make the biggest impact for not only myself, but for my clients as well.

And so as I was going through those opportunities, Ashley and the rest of the team really helped me narrow in what I wanted to do from a business standpoint. And I felt like it was a huge, great conversation that we had. So originally when I started this role, I was thinking, you know, what am I doing? I didn't really felt like I belonged here.

And the being coming a financial advisor. But one of the things that over time, I've learned is you grow with the job. There's a lot of great opportunities that you're able to partner with different advisors, and you really learn different areas of financial planning. And it's been absolutely awesome ever since. One thing that I really found here, was a career that I could really build for myself and work for myself.

I didn't necessarily have that opportunity. And the other roles that I was envisioning, one of the hugest impacts was being able to own my own business and have those clients that I could help for 20, 30, and 40 years to come and have those relationships for a lifetime.
