Vic McCarty of the Vic McCarty Morning Show, WTCM Traverse City, interviews Eric Lupher, president of the Citizens Research Council of Michigan, which last week released novel research making the case that much more work is needed on the road funding issue than just securing more resources for roads and bridges. In a Nutshell: Michigan ranks 30th among all 50 states in road and 40th in road system conditions. Michigan's road program performance has declined between 2004 and 2024. Policy discussions regarding road funding review the efficacy of Michigan's approach to pavement management and to prioritize the repeal and replacement of Public Act 51 of 1951. Eric makes the case that Michigan's residents and taxpayers deserve a thorough evaluation of transportation funding policy, without questioning that more road funding is probably needed, before being subjected to substantial tax increases or redirecting general fund revenue from other critical Michigan programs. “There are multiple inefficiencies in our current system. Allocating more funding to roads without addressing these inefficiencies may reinforce systemic problems without making much progress in fixing the roads.”

Did you hear about the guy who owned last year's top-performing funds? Yeah, it's too bad he bought them this year, though.There's a lot of evidence to suggest that buying and holding index funds will pay off in the long run. Benji Bailey joins us today to make the case with some impressive numbers.Benji Bailey is Vice President of Investments and Senior Fixed Income Manager at Praxis Mutual Funds, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.The Importance of Indexes in InvestingTo understand index funds, we can view them like guideposts in a national park. Just as signs direct visitors to scenic views and help them stay on the right path, indexes serve as essential benchmarks for investors. These benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 for large-cap stocks or the Bloomberg Aggregate for bonds, allow investors to measure their progress toward financial goals.Without these guideposts, investors risk straying off course, possibly realizing too late that their portfolio has been heading in the wrong direction. Publicly available indexes provide a crucial check-in, ensuring investments align with long-term objectives.Many investors believe they can outperform the market by actively trading stocks. However, research suggests otherwise. A study published in The Journal of Finance found that individuals who frequently traded stocks underperformed compared to those who traded less.Over a six-year period:The market returned approximately 18% annually.Less active traders saw returns of around 16.4%.The most active traders only achieved 11.4%, underperforming by over 6%.This trend highlights the dangers of excessive trading. Warren Buffett summarized it well: “The stock market is designed to transfer money from the active to the patient.” The Bible echoes this wisdom in Proverbs 13:11: “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”Active vs. Passive Mutual FundsA key distinction in investing is the difference between active and passive mutual funds:Active funds: Managed by professionals who handpick a smaller set of stocks, hoping to outperform the market.Passive funds: Designed to mirror an index, holding a broad range of stocks for stable, long-term growth.According to Morningstar, over the past 15 years, only 9% of actively managed large-cap funds outperformed their passive counterparts—meaning 91% of active funds underperformed. This data suggests that passive investing can be a more reliable strategy for many investors.Aligning Investments with Faith ValuesMany faith-driven investors worry that traditional index funds may include companies whose values don't align with their beliefs. Praxis Mutual Funds addresses this concern by screening out companies involved in industries such as:AlcoholTobaccoGamblingAbortion-related businessesHowever, the more companies an investor removes from an index, the greater the potential for volatility in returns. For example, removing just one company from the S&P 500 would have little impact, but excluding half of the index's stocks would significantly increase volatility.Praxis Mutual Funds utilizes an optimized equity index strategy to balance faith-based values with financial performance. Instead of replicating an index, Praxis screens out objectionable companies and uses a software-driven approach to reallocate funds into a diversified mix that closely tracks the market's performance.This method allows faith-based investors to remain aligned with their values without sacrificing reasonable returns.The Role of Patience in InvestingMarket volatility can make investing an emotional challenge. Many investors instinctively buy when the market is high and sell when it's low—precisely the opposite of what leads to long-term success.Historical data shows that the S&P 500 has had an average annual return of around 10% over the past 97 years, but actual yearly returns rarely fall near that average. Investors who stay the course and focus on long-term gains are more likely to benefit from market growth.The Bible encourages this patient approach in Ecclesiastes 11:2: “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” Diversification and patience are essential principles for wise investing.Making a Positive Impact Through InvestingBeyond screening out specific companies, Praxis Mutual Funds takes an active role in making a positive impact through:Proxy voting: Ensuring shareholder influence aligns with faith values.Shareholder engagement: Advocating for ethical corporate practices.Community development investing: Allocating 1% of funds to microfinance and social impact projects.Faith-based investing is about more than avoiding harmful industries; it's also about using investment dollars to create meaningful, Christ-centered change in the world. Whether through index funds or faith-based investment strategies, the goal is to align financial decisions with biblical principles.As Proverbs 21:5 reminds us: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” A well-planned investment strategy, guided by faith and patience, can lead to lasting financial fruitfulness.For those interested in learning more about faith-based investing, Praxis Mutual Funds provides a wealth of information at PraxisInvests.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:As the executor of my deceased relative's estate, do I need to report my role to FinCEN, similar to reporting the controlling party of a company?I'm 85, and I draw Social Security.

SPaMCAST 852 features our essay on scaling attention. Seth Godin's observation that attention doesn't scale highlights a crucial point: attention, like time, is a finite resource. We often conflate scaling and allocation, but they are distinct concepts. A human's capacity for focused attention is limited, regardless of how much time we spend awake. This fixed amount of attention, our "attentional budget," can be allocated to various tasks and activities. Allocation involves choosing where to direct our focus, like deciding to read a book instead of browsing the internet. Scaling, on the other hand, refers to the intensity and scope of that focus. While reading, you narrow your focus to absorb information more deeply, increasing the intensity of your attention on the chosen subject. We will also have a visit from the Evolutionary Agilist, . Mr. Berriault and I discuss the pervasive use of the term resources that allow organizations to distance themselves from people.  Mastering Work Intake sponsors SPaMCAST!

Welcome to "Retreats with a Purpose: How to Make a Difference While Making a Profit," where we delve into the compelling ways retreat leaders can weave social responsibility into their business models. This episode is dedicated to those who see the potential for retreats to serve not just as gateways to personal growth but as platforms for meaningful societal contributions. Partnering with Non-Profits First up, we explore the strategic partnerships between retreats and non-profits. Learn how aligning with a cause that resonates with your retreat's theme can amplify the impact on both your attendees and the non-profit's goals. For instance, a mindfulness retreat could partner with a mental health organization to deepen the impact through combined efforts in wellness promotion. These partnerships not only enrich the retreat experience but also extend the reach and effectiveness of the non-profit's mission. We'll share success stories, like a retreat that included conservation efforts, enhancing participant engagement and helping the local environment. Implementing Scholarship Programs Next, we discuss the transformational power of scholarship programs. Offering scholarships makes retreats accessible to those who might otherwise miss out on such life-changing opportunities. We'll cover how to set up a scholarship fund, including eligibility criteria and funding strategies. Success stories from scholarship recipients will highlight the profound impact these opportunities can have on individuals and their communities, showcasing the ripple effect of generosity. Sourcing Locally and Ethically Our third segment focuses on the importance of local and ethical sourcing. This practice not only supports local economies but also ensures that retreats offer authentic and sustainable experiences. We'll talk about how to choose local vendors and ethical suppliers that align with your retreat's values, and share case studies that demonstrate the positive effects of these choices on both the retreat experience and local communities. Community Service Activities Integrating community service into retreat programs can profoundly enrich the retreat experience, turning a simple getaway into a deeply fulfilling journey. We'll explore different types of service activities that fit various retreat themes, such as environmental initiatives or educational programs. Feedback from both participants and local communities will highlight the mutual benefits of these integrations. Financial Donations Lastly, we'll tackle the role of financial donations in enhancing retreat appeal and impact. Allocating a portion of profits to charitable causes not only supports community projects but also positions your retreat as a socially responsible choice for potential attendees. We'll discuss effective strategies for marketing this aspect and share examples of how these donations have made lasting impacts. This episode is packed with insights from fellow retreat leaders who have successfully integrated these socially responsible practices into their operations, proving that it's possible to make a profit while making a difference. Join us to learn how you can transform your retreat into a powerful force for good.   The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Join our In Person Mastermind Learn to Host Retreats Join our private Facebook Group Top 5 Marketing Tools Free Guide Free Top 11 Tips for Building an Email List    Thanks for tuning into the Retreat Leaders Podcast.

Many artists struggle not because they lack talent, but because they lack a solid financial plan. In this episode, I'll break down why financial planning is just as important as creative skills, the most common money mistakes artists make, and simple strategies to take control of your finances without feeling overwhelmed. If you have ever felt anxious about money or unsure how to make your art financially sustainable, this episode is for you.Key Moments:1. Introduction: The Money Struggle No One Talks About Story about why it often comes down to poor financial planning, not just bad luck.Acknowledging that most artists were never taught how to manage money and that's okay because it is a skill you can learn.2. The Cost of Ignoring Financial Planning How lack of financial planning leads to inconsistent income, debt, burnout, and creative frustration.Why many artists feel trapped in feast-or-famine cycles, working intensely when money is low, then relaxing when income comes in, without a long-term plan.3. Common Money Mistakes Artists Make Not separating personal and business finances.Underpricing their work because they don't understand their costs.Relying on inconsistent gigs without diversifying income streams.Avoiding budgeting because it feels restrictive instead of seeing it as a tool for freedom.4. Mindset Shift: Thinking Like a Creative CEO Reframing financial planning as an empowering process, not a boring chore.Understanding that financial freedom = creative freedom.The importance of treating your art like a business without losing your passion.5. Simple Financial Strategies for Artists How to create a basic budget that works with fluctuating income.The 50/30/20 rule: Allocating income for needs, wants, and savings.Building an emergency fund to avoid panic during slow periods.Why you should pay yourself a salary even as a freelancer.6. Key Takeaways & Action Steps 1. Talent isn't enough. Without financial planning, even the most gifted artists struggle.2. A budget isn't a prison, it's a map. It shows you how to get where you want to go.3. Separate your personal and business finances. It is a small step that makes a huge difference.4. You are the CEO of your creative career. Start acting like it.5. Financial security = creative freedom. When money stress is gone, your creativity can thrive.Action Step:If you do one thing after this episode, let it be this:Track your income and expenses for the next 30 days.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Stuart Baum discuss:Developing positive habits for personal and professional successOvercoming bad habits that hinder productivity and growthThe importance of accountability and structured systems in habit formationStrategies for effective business development and client engagement Key Takeaways:Writing down commitments and follow-ups immediately after meetings, whether by texting yourself or using a note app, ensures accountability and helps avoid forgetting key tasks or names from conversations.Allocating two 30-minute blocks each week exclusively for business development activities, such as following up on leads or setting appointments, creates consistency and avoids the excuse of being too busy to prioritize growth.Using storytelling in conversations, focusing on concise, memorable anecdotes about solving client problems, engages potential clients better than overwhelming them with a long list of services.Establishing accountability partnerships, where colleagues or peers meet regularly to share progress and co-develop opportunities, adds structure to habit-building and prevents the temptation to delay important tasks. "Not all habits work for all people, but some of it will work for you—pick the things that work for you and do it." —  Stuart Baum Got a challenge growing your law practice?

“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.” - Proverbs 13:22God's Word is clear that faithful stewards should leave an inheritance for future generations. That inheritance doesn't have to be money. Passing along biblical principles such as generosity to grandkids, well, that's priceless. Ron Blue joins us to talk about it.Ron Blue is the Co-Founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of many books on biblical finance, including Splitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives.More Than Money: The Heart of GenerosityGrandparents have a unique opportunity to model and teach generosity to their grandchildren. Generosity is about much more than giving money. Money is just a tool we can use to bless others and make the world a better place.When taught early, generosity can break the grip of materialism and shape how children view and manage money for a lifetime. By demonstrating that financial success involves not just acquiring wealth but sharing it, grandparents can instill values that reflect God's Kingdom.Starting the ConversationThe best way to teach generosity is to connect it to core Christian values like love, stewardship, compassion, and service. Ron Blue suggests beginning with young grandchildren by reading Christian children's books that highlight stories of generosity.From there, move to practical activities:Set aside money to give to the grandchildren, and let them choose the charity.Engage in community service together, such as volunteering at a soup kitchen or helping a neighbor in need.Discuss how giving often involves sacrifice, such as donating toys to children in homeless shelters. Experiencing the joy of giving firsthand can leave a lasting impression.These activities help children see that generosity isn't just a concept—it's an actionable way to reflect Christ's love.Generosity in Everyday LifeGrandparents can incorporate lessons about generosity into everyday life by encouraging grandchildren to:Donate part of their birthday or allowance money to a cause they care about.Participate in family conversations about budgeting for spending, saving, and giving.Volunteer for local community projects together.These experiences not only teach the importance of generosity but also demonstrate that giving is a planned and intentional part of the Christian walk.Generosity and Legacy PlanningMany grandparents focus on leaving a financial legacy, but weaving generosity into their estate planning is even more critical. Some ways to do this include:Allocating part of their estate for charitable giving.Setting up a Giving Fund through organizations like the National Christian Foundation and involving grandchildren in decisions about where the funds should go.These steps ensure that generosity remains a central value in the family's legacy.The Long-Term ImpactTeaching grandchildren about generosity has profound long-term effects. It helps them avoid the chains of materialism and be more faithful stewards of God's resources. By modeling and encouraging generosity, grandparents can leave a lasting legacy that impacts their family and furthers God's Kingdom.Grandparents, you have an incredible role to play in shaping your grandchildren's values and faith. Start small, be intentional, and watch as your legacy of generosity grows in the hearts of your family.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a 403(b) that's earning 3% interest. I'm 72 and will soon need to start taking the required minimum distributions. Since I have yet to pay taxes on this money, what's the best way to handle the withdrawals to minimize the taxation? Should I put it in a savings account or roll it into an IRA?I have a double-wide manufactured home with a 9.4% interest rate mortgage. How can I upgrade the house to increase its value and get a lower interest rate through refinancing? We're living paycheck-to-paycheck with no savings.I've been a Christian for 40 years, and my wife and I have always tithed, even when money was tight. In the last couple of years, God has provided an income stream we never thought possible, proving His faithfulness to us. We now have resources we never dreamed of having.Resources Mentioned:Samaritan's Purse: Operation Christmas ChildLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

The B2B SaaS buying journey isn't linear – it is much more complicated than that.At any one time, only 5% of your addressable market is actively in-market and seeking a solution.

The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) is allocating the settlement money from their Jeffrey Epstein-related lawsuits to various community initiatives, but not without facing significant criticism.Community and Health Projects: The funds are being used to build infrastructure such as a behavioral health facility on St. Croix, a sports complex on St. Thomas, and a cultural center on St. John. Money is also allocated for maintaining public housing and renovating health facilities. Additionally, $25 million is earmarked for constructing a new Department of Justice office on St. Croix, along with public housing improvements.Human Trafficking Council: $15 million is being directed to the Virgin Islands Council on Human Trafficking, which will focus on victim services, public awareness, and training to combat human trafficking in the territory.Economic Development and Recovery: Funds will also be used to create the Virgin Islands Catalyst Revolving Fund, providing loans for business growth and home renovations, and an additional $25 million will be invested for future community needs.Despite these initiatives, the USVI government has faced backlash for what some see as prioritizing profit over the well-being of survivors. Critics argue that the government has been more focused on maximizing financial gains rather than using the settlement primarily to support survivors of Epstein's crimes. This has raised concerns about transparency and the genuine commitment to justice, as some feel the funds are being diverted to broader infrastructure projects rather than directly benefiting the victims of Epstein's actions. The criticism points to a perceived "cash grab" mentality, with more emphasis on bolstering the territory's economy and infrastructure than addressing the needs of those who suffered directly.(commercial at 7:56)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:$137.5M Epstein Settlement to Build St. Croix Behavioral Health Facility, St. Thomas Sports Complex, and Audit Epstein's EDA Benefits (viconsortium.com)
