But what separates the average from the elite is what you do beyond that—going the extra mile for your clients, working closely with carriers, and constantly leveling up your knowledge and effort. If you want to be a top producer, it starts with expertise, but it takes much more to truly stand out.

In this episode, we unpack why the carrier behind the product matters just as much as the product itself during the fact-finding process. While several annuity products might check all the boxes for a client's needs, the carrier you choose can have a major impact on the client experience—from service and support to long-term stability and trust. Chad shares why digging deeper into carrier differences is a crucial part of doing what's truly in the client's best interest, and how being intentional with this step can set you apart as a top-tier agent.

Chad shares his perspective on why building something that outlives you—whether it's for your family, your clients, or the impact you leave behind—should be the true motivation behind your work.

Hear how shifting your mindset toward legacy can bring deeper purpose, fulfillment, and lasting impact to everything you do.

Raff Distefano, Investment Director of the Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund reviews and discusses recent market trends, fund performance, and portfolio positioning.

Today, we are tackling a topic that holding back most organizations from adapting to our rapidly changing business environments, a topic rooted in a habit that is so engrained in most companies that we don't even think about changing it: budgeting. In this episode, we sit down with Eric Woodard, Head of Strategy at Primerica and former Bain consultant, to unpack the future of agile budgeting. Eric shares why the old model—locking budgets 12 months in advance—is no longer viable in a world shaped by digital disruption, economic volatility, and shifting priorities. He lays out a practical, compelling alternative: treat strategy as a living, breathing guide for capital allocation. We explore: - Why companies are being forced—not just encouraged—to rethink budgeting cycles - The key difference between "run the business" and "change the business" spend - How to structure dynamic, strategy-led funding pools - What cycle times and KPIs work in an agile budgeting environment - Why people—not systems—are the biggest barrier to change  Whether you're navigating growth, transformation, or efficiency, this episode will give you the tools to align your budget with your boldest strategic ambitions. Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networksLearn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networksLearn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networksLearn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks

In this episode we reflect on our recent meet-up and answer emails from Chris, Gigi and Mark.  We discuss preferred shares funds and PFFA in particular, considerations about allocations in a TSP based on goals and current progress in your financial life, and them thar new-fangled return stacked funds.Links:PFFA Summary:  PFFA – Virtus InfraCap US Preferred Stock ETF – ETF Stock Quote | MorningstarReturn Stacked Funds Page:  Home - Return Stacked® ETFsAmusing Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Welcome to the dive bar of personal finance and do-it-yourself investing, where Frank Vasquez serves up straight talk with a splash of humor. This episode tackles core investment principles that cut through the noise of complex financial products and contradictory advice.Frank begins by exploring preferred shares funds, specifically PFFA, explaining why its 20% leverage delivers higher returns but also brings greater volatility and a concerning 2%+ expense ratio. This leads into a deeper discussion about when specialized investment vehicles make sense for different investors and why tax implications matter when considering preferred shares positions.The heart of the episode focuses on a listener's TSP allocation question, which Frank uses to illustrate a fundamental investment truth: many investors start at the wrong end of the planning process. Rather than beginning with fund selection, Frank outlines the proper sequence: first determine your overall financial needs, then establish appropriate asset allocations, and only then select specific funds. He draws an important distinction between accumulation portfolios (where growth is paramount) and retirement portfolios (where volatility management becomes critical).Throughout the conversation, Frank emphasizes that diversification primarily reduces volatility rather than enhances returns. This insight proves particularly valuable when evaluating new investment products like return-stacked ETFs that combine traditional assets with alternatives like managed futures and merger arbitrage. While intriguing, Frank suggests most investors would benefit more from simpler approaches with established track records.Whether you're nearing retirement or still in accumulation mode, this episode delivers clear frameworks for making better investment decisions, reminding us that successful investing stems from understanding your unique financial situation rather than chasing complicated strategies.
