Listen to Dan Solin, President at Solin Strategic LLC and Evidence Based Advisor Marketing, as he shares his journey from law to financial advice, revealing how his legal background shaped a preventative, client-first mindset. In this episode, Dan unpacks the power of simplicity in investing, advocating for low-cost, transparent strategies that cut through industry complexity. He introduces the neuroscience-informed “Solin process” to build trust and engagement and explains why listening—not talking—is the true competitive edge for advisers. He explores how AI and avatars can scale personalisation and content delivery, critiques outdated asset-based fees, and champions fairer, fixed models. Dan concludes by affirming that while technology will transform the industry, the human element remains essential in delivering meaningful, emotionally intelligent financial advice in Australia's evolving landscape. 00:01:35 – Dan's background Dan began his career as a lawyer before shifting into financial advising. He explains how his legal background influenced his focus on prevention over reaction, leading him to help clients make  better investment decisions before problems arise. 00:03:01 – Writing and evidence-based investing Dan discusses his books on evidence-based investing, explaining how the industry often overcomplicates what should be a straightforward discipline. His philosophy centres around simplicity, low-cost solutions, and the importance of transparency. 00:05:09 – The Solin process He introduces the “Solin process,” a neuroscience-informed approach to client engagement that focuses on asking open-ended questions. This process helps advisors convert prospects into clients by building trust and credibility. 00:08:08 – Neuroscience and listening Referencing studies from Harvard, Dan explains that listening creates pleasurable brain responses in clients. In contrast, dominating the conversation often leads to disengagement. Listening, he argues, is the true competitive edge in advisery services. 00:15:00 – Leveraging technology Dan explains how advisors can use AI and digital avatars to scale their outreach while maintaining  personalisation. These tools are especially effective for connecting with younger clients and  enhancing marketing efforts. 00:18:32 – Investment simplicity Dan challenges the idea that complex strategies are better. He advocates for evidence-based investing and the use of index funds, stressing that clear communication and low-cost solutions often yield better outcomes for clients. 00:22:10 – Rethinking fee structures Dan critiques asset-based fees, calling them outdated and often misaligned with the actual work advisors perform. He recommends more transparent, service-based or fixed-fee models that reflect real value delivered. 00:24:38 – The role of advisers in a tech-enabled future While AI will take over many routine functions, Dan believes the human element will remain essential. Advisers should focus on addressing complex emotional and financial needs, while tech  handles repetitive processes. 00:27:44 – Using avatars to scale content Dan shares how he uses avatars to turn written content into hundreds of video clips. This allows him to scale his marketing and provide 24/7 access to resources without additional workload. 00:31:51 – Final reflections Dan concludes by affirming his belief in the integrity of most advisors and their willingness to evolve. By adopting better communication strategies and new technologies, the industry can deliver more effective and ethical service.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest ceilings for mortgage and financial advisers — hitting £20k months and not knowing how to move beyond it. Whether you're at £5k, £20k or even £80k/month, you'll face the same issues: overwhelm, firefighting, and the fear of letting go. Watch the free 10-minute training I mention here: https://systemise-scale.com/ I share insights from real conversations with clients scaling to £1m+ a year, and explain the mindset, systems, and strategies you need to implement now if you want more time, more income, and more freedom. What you will learn: • Why £20k/month is a dangerous comfort zone

Our show opens with both Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on the evening news circuit, hawking their book, “Original Sin.” It's such a mockery, even Jon Stewart weighs-in on the lead-up to the launch. And, once again, we illustrate how we no longer have anything resembling “journalism” anymore, at least not from the bought-and-paid-for Legacy/mainstream media. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) comments on the Trump administration going after people for just doing their jobs. Yet, when we go back to Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), her story has shifted noticeably from when she first suggested she was a victim. Now she wants to blame and escalations on the presence of ICE officers. Finally, we spent the remainder of the show looking at today's jaw-dropping moment when President Trump was hosting the President of South Africa to the White House. As only Trump can do, he owned the room and the narrative regarding the white genocide taking place in that country.

On paper at least the 2 richest economies in the EU are also among the smallest: Ireland and Luxembourg. Our economy relies on technology and pharma of course but it's also a major player in fund management. Our biggest European rival to lure these big global pension funds is Luxembourg whose regulator might be seen as more relaxed than our Central bank. Both nations have been accused of being tax havens. But are they? Speaking to Joe in studio this morning was Quentin Werlé, head of portfolio management at the Luxembourg advisers 6 Monks which specialises in cryptocurrencies.

Donald Trump has long lived in his own reality, even before becoming President, and the reason is because he made those around him terrified to give him bad news. And now that he's back in the Oval Office, the same thing is happening. Trump continues to insist that things are clearly much better than they actually are, and the only way he could genuinely believe that is if everyone around him is constantly lying to him. Republicans have now changed their tune from "everything is fine with the economy" to "just shut up and suffer in silence." Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is leading the charge, telling Americans last week that they are going to have to suffer because, as he put it, "no pain, no gain." Tuberville compared struggling families to weight lifters and suggested that it is ok that you can't afford groceries because you will eventually (maybe) be able to. This isn't just condescending, it is flat out WRONG.Allies of Donald Trump are still, mostly, unwilling to speak out against his horrific policies and economic destruction publicly, but that doesn't mean that they aren't letting their voices be heard. According to new reports, Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles is being "inundated" with panicked phone calls from Trump's allies who are complaining and getting angry about the economic devastation that he is causing on a daily basis. For the second time in just a few weeks, Donald Trump wants to know what idiot signed a trade deal with Canada that allows them to "take advantage" of the United States, and also to supply us with energy. The trade deal he's referring to is the USMCA, which was signed into law in early 2020 by HIM. HE is the idiot that he keeps looking for, he's just too much of an idiot to understand that he's the answer to his own question.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

National political advisers have been urged to serve the country's major tasks and work to improve people's livelihoods through high-quality consultation and suggestions, in order to further promote China's modernization drive.Wang Huning, chairman of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body, made the remarks while delivering a speech to around 2,100 national political advisers at the closing meeting of its third session in Beijing on Monday.President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the meeting, which was held at the Great Hall of the People.National political advisers should focus on key and difficult issues in deepening reform, promoting high-quality development, ensuring and improving people's livelihoods, and maintaining social stability in carrying out surveys and making suggestions and proposals, Wang said.The CPPCC should strengthen the mechanism for reflecting public opinion, connecting with the people, and serving the people, enhancing the unity of Chinese people at home and abroad, he added.A resolution on the work report of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, a resolution on a report on how the proposals from political advisers have been handled since the previous annual session, a report on the examination of new proposals, and a political resolution on the third session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee were approved at the meeting.Samuel Yung Wing-ki, a member of the CPPCC National Committee from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said, "At this meeting, I have gained a deep understanding of the country's major policies and development direction, and I have also felt the country's emphasis on Hong Kong."Hong Kong should leverage its advantages in international exchanges and the "one country, two systems" policy to attract more talent to develop in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, he said.Jin Hua, a national political adviser from Qinghai province, said that at this year's two sessions she wore the traditional attire of the Mongolian ethnic group that she had got married in, as she considered the meeting to be a major event for the country."I am most proud that I can use my platform to bring the livelihood-related facts of the ethnic group to the national level. Then I can deliver good policies to our ethnic minority areas," she said.Yang Yuni, another national political adviser and a post-1995 member of the Hani ethnic group, said that she will make efforts to combine artificial intelligence with ethnic minority songs and dances to attract more young people to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, thereby assisting in vitalizing rural areas.

The concept that education determines the future of a nation is a widely acknowledged consensus globally.That could be the reason education was at the forefront of the discussion on Thursday when President Xi Jinping joined the group meeting in Beijing of the country's national political advisers from the China Democratic League, the China Association for Promoting Democracy and the education sector."In every household, education is now a focal point of attention, with numerous hot topics in this field," Xi told the political advisers, who were attending the third session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "This not only indicates a strong educational atmosphere, but also reflects a certain gap between our education system and the expectations of the people."Cai Guangjie, deputy director of the Education Department of Sichuan province, presented her research findings to Xi, revealing a significant demographic shift in the country — the decrease in the school-age population.To address these emerging challenges, Cai gave her advice on optimizing resource allocation, including controlling the construction of new schools and facilitating the transfer of students from under-resourced rural schools to better-equipped schools in towns.Cai's remarks evoked Xi's memories of the early days of China's reform and opening-up. At the time, the country provided many children with the opportunity to receive education through initiatives such as raising funds from various sources to establish and operate schools, and through Project Hope, which was launched in 1989 with the goal of ensuring that students in impoverished areas were given greater access to education."Back then, I was quite happy to have raised funds to build a primary school in Liangjiahe village. But the school was later closed," Xi recalled. Liangjiahe was an impoverished village in northwestern China's Shaanxi province.However, the school's closure was actually a positive development, Xi said, because students were relocated to a school in the township area to receive a higher-quality education.Xi also said that new issues have been brought about "by changes occurring amid progress. The process of solving these problems is also a process of development and advancement".China's preschool education is an example. With the increase in the number of people living in urban areas in recent years, many kindergartens have been left unused in some areas, while the number of quality kindergartens is still short of demand.Xi said this situation cannot be changed immediately, as solving these issues requires adjustment of the educational structure."The adjustment might be realized only after the implementation of one or two five-year plans," he said. "There are many factors to consider in the process. But if we don't start planning now, it will be too late by then."Urgent priorityXi said that although education requires sustained efforts over time, it is also an urgent priority.He cited the development of education in the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, saying that tremendous changes have taken place since then.At that time, the country was still very poor, and literacy classes were organized to combat widespread illiteracy. "The matter of importance back then was whether people would have enough to eat. Since the entire nation was experiencing a period of economic hardship, spending on education was very limited," he said.Nowadays, school-age children's access to basic education in China has been significantly expanded, and the conditions and resources necessary for running a school have also greatly improved.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, the country's education spending has exceeded 4 percent of GDP for 12 consecutive years."This fully demonstrates the great importance attached to modern education by the Party," Xi said.However, the challenges keep showing up.Xu Kun, president of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told Xi that he considers artificial intelligence as a key variable in building China into a leading country in education, given both the opportunities and the challenges that it brings.Xi noted that with the emergence of AI and the internet of things, the tools and methods for education will change, as will the abilities that students need to obtain."Reforms in such areas must be made in a timely manner," he said.Meanwhile, he stressed that efforts regarding the intellectual, emotional and spiritual development of students, as well as the cultivation of their basic cognitive and problem-solving abilities, must not be neglected."A solid foundation is essential," Xi said.He also highlighted the importance of reading."In the digital age, with the fast pace of society, it is not easy to sit down, calm your mind and patiently read a book," Xi said.He affirmed the proposal by Zheng Jiajian, president of Fujian Normal University, on creating a social environment in which people love to read.Xi said that children should develop the good habit of reading from a young age. "We can combine digital reading with traditional reading to preserve our core values and literacy," he said.He added that as long as young people establish firm ideals and strengthen beliefs and confidence from childhood, they will become reliable successors in carrying forward socialism with Chinese characteristics."Chinese modernization and national rejuvenation will depend on the next generations," Xi said.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports President Trump says he's left instructions for what should happen if Iran assassinates him.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order Monday night tasking the Pentagon to build a plan for a multilayered missile defense system underpinned by both space-based sensors and interceptors. Under the directive, titled “Iron Dome for America,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is required to develop “a reference architecture, capabilities-based requirements and an implementation plan” to address emerging aerial threats against the U.S. homeland. The strategy, due to the president in the next 60 days, must focus on defense against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles and other aerial platforms. An artificial intelligence advisory panel created during the first Trump administration is delivering the president a list of 10 actionable AI priorities to pursue as he begins his second term. The National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee, established under section 5104 of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act and signed into law by President Donald Trump in 2020, voted Tuesday in favor of a 10-priority draft document of “timely AI policy issues and proposed solutions.” The recommendations laid out in that document, NAIAC said, should “provide an opportunity for the administration to achieve its goals to advance the United States' continued AI leadership and competitiveness.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Political advisers in Shanghai have proposed comprehensive measures to enhance the city's appeal as a gateway destination for inbound tourists, including improved multilingual services and digital public offerings.上海市政协委员提出了多项综合措施，以增强上海作为入境游客门户目的地的吸引力，包括改进多语种服务和提升数字化公共服务。The proposals, aimed at building Shanghai into a high-level open gateway city, were submitted during the annual sessions of the city's legislative and political advisory bodies, which concluded on Saturday.1月18日，上海市立法机构和政治咨询机构年度会议闭幕。会议上提交的这些提案旨在将上海打造成为高水平开放门户城市。Advisers suggested aligning the city's digital public services with international standards and introducing an official multilingual guide app. The app would offer information on Shanghai's urban history, architecture and culture to help international tourists deepen their understanding of the city.政协委员建议，将上海数字公共服务与国际标准接轨，并推出一款官方多语种导览应用。该应用将提供有关上海城市历史、建筑、文化的信息，帮助国际游客加深对这座城市的了解。China's expanded visa-free travel policies, including the recent extension of transit visa-free stays to 240 hours, have opened the door to more international visitors.中国扩大了免签旅游政策，向更多国际游客敞开大门，包括近期将中转免签停留时间延长至240小时。South Korean tourists' growing interest in Shanghai was a highlight of the sessions. Data from travel platform Trip.com showed that between Nov 8 and Dec 28 last year, orders from inbound tourists from South Korea to Shanghai increased more than 180 percent year-on-year.韩国游客对上海日益浓厚的兴趣成为此次会议的一大亮点。旅游平台携程的数据显示，去年11月8日至12月28日期间，入境上海的韩国游客订单同比增长超过180%。In the Shanghai Municipal Government Work Report, Mayor Gong Zheng said the city aims to position itself as the top destination for inbound tourism, with internationally friendly tourism products and convenient services.上海市市长龚正作上海市政府工作报告时表示，上海的目标是打造入境旅游第一站，提供国际友好型旅游产品和便捷服务。Gu Weiling, director of the Shanghai Putuo District Administration of Sport, proposed creating a citywide action plan to optimize bilingual and multilingual services in all tourism-related sectors. The plan would include unified translation standards and consistent foreign language signage in public venues.上海市普陀区体育局局长顾薇玲提议制定全市行动计划，以优化所有旅游相关行业的双语及多语服务。该计划将包括统一翻译标准和公共场所外语标识。"Shanghai must also upgrade its tourism information service centers to benchmark against world-famous tourist cities," Gu said. She emphasized the need for information to be available in at least four languages, both in print and interactive digital formats.顾薇玲说：“上海还必须升级旅游信息服务中心，对标世界著名旅游城市形象。”她强调，必须实现至少四个语种同时展示信息，包括纸质版本和交互数字版本。Gu also recommended special reservation channels for expatriates on scenic spots' online booking systems, allowing passport numbers for registration. Additionally, she proposed offline ticket purchase channels that accept cash and support foreign bank card payments.顾薇玲还建议，在景区在线预订系统中设立外籍人士专门通道，允许使用护照号码进行注册。此外，她还提议设立线下购票通道，接受现金和外国银行卡支付。A collective proposal from some members of the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference suggested leveraging artificial intelligence-powered digital guide tools to meet tourists' diverse needs. Such tools are already widely used in cities such as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, they noted.部分上海政协委员联名提案建议，利用人工智能驱动的数字导览工具来满足游客的多样化需求。他们表示，这类工具已在纽约、伦敦、巴黎、东京等城市得到广泛应用。"Currently, the lack of multilingual audio guides or functional QR codes at scenic spots makes it difficult for international tourists to fully experience Shanghai's culture," the proposal said.提案指出：“目前景点缺乏多语种语音导览或功能性二维码，国际游客难以充分体验上海的文化。”"While Shanghai is popular among South Korean tourists, their visits are often limited to traditional attractions, food and shopping. Even those interested in the city's history and aesthetics struggle to find information," it added.“虽然上海在韩国游客中很受欢迎，但他们的游览通常仅限于传统景点、美食和购物。即使那些对上海历史和美学感兴趣的人也很难找到相关信息。”提案补充道。Another proposal called for addressing challenges in inbound tourism, such as registering for local ride-hailing apps, using mobile payment systems, and improving multilingual services. Political adviser Yan Jiehong suggested that the Shanghai Municipal Foreign Affairs Office take the lead in developing systematic solutions to enhance digital experiences for tourists.另一项提案呼吁解决入境旅游面临的挑战，包括当地网约车应用注册、移动支付系统使用、多语种服务改进。政协委员严洁红建议，由上海市外事办公室牵头，制定系统性解决方案，提升游客的数字化体验。To address immediate needs upon arrival, Shanghai last year launched a one-stop service center at Pudong International Airport, offering Wi-Fi device rentals, SIM card and transportation card sales and foreign currency exchange.去年，上海在浦东国际机场推出了一站式服务中心，提供Wi-Fi设备租赁、SIM卡和交通卡销售、外币兑换服务，以解决外国游客抵沪后的即时需求。concludev.（以…）结束（讲话、会议、文章等）

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The Teamsters union has launched a nationwide strike against Amazon just six days before Christmas.  They're striking at Amazon facilities across the country starting and the union says it's the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history.  Picket lines are up at Amazon facilities in New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, the Chicago area and three locations in Southern California.    Two ---- A bill to avert a partial government shutdown that was backed by President-elect Trump failed to pass the House last night. The bill needed two-thirds of the House chamber to pass, but failed to even net a majority. Two Democrats voted with the majority of Republicans to pass the bill, while 38 GOP lawmakers bucked Trump to oppose it. That brings us closer to the possibility of a partial shutdown, with the deadline coming at the end of today.   And number three — The Wall Street Journal  is out with a lengthy story documenting how President Joe Biden's advisers conspired to fool most of the public, the press, and even Biden's allies about the President's rapidly deteriorating mental health. It's a blockbuster, a look behind the curtain of what many of you suspected over the past four years … and were called conspiracy theorists for noticing. The big question: is the political press is D.C. dangerously incompetent or simple partisan cheerleaders? At this point it's one or the other.

Pete Hegseth is on his fourth day of trying to convince Senators he's the right person to lead the DOD. Plus, Trump is focusing on getting former Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. confirmed. And, co-chairs of Trump's future Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, arrived on Capitol Hill to pitch Republicans on slashing federal spending -- which could cause chaos.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee releases its 350-page report documenting that President Biden failed to plan for the collapse of the Afghan government, though he was warned it would happen. But does the report let Donald Trump off the hook too easily, and what does it say about who should be America's next commander in chief?  Learn more about your ad choices.
