Advisors spend years earning credentials and almost no time showing people who they actually are. Wade Shields thinks that is the whole problem. Wade came to Elite Consulting Partners after ten years in New York City making documentary and branded content for Google, Ernst and Young and the American Cancer Society. The process he used there and the one he uses now starts the same way: figure out what the real story is before you make anything. He calls it brand forensics and it is the foundation every advisor skips. The first half of the episode is about what average advisor marketing actually looks like and why it is not working. Market updates getting two likes. Broker-dealer content no one asked for. A wall of certifications that tells someone where your niche is but nothing about who you are. Wade lays out why 96% of prospects are doing their own research before making contact and what happens to referrals when what they find looks exactly like what everyone else is putting out. The question Brian puts on the table is worth sitting with: it is not just how many referrals you are getting, it is how many referrals quietly walked away. The second half gets practical. Video outperforms every other content format seven to one and the barrier has nothing to do with equipment. When advisors sit down to record alone they focus on themselves and the result is stiff, flat content that misses the mark. Wade uses an interview approach on every production day to replicate the natural conversation an advisor already has with clients. The story of the teleprompter client is the best illustration: scripted and polished, no emotion, went nowhere. Unscripted and honest, clients are still quoting it back. The episode closes on the definition that ties everything together. Your brand is not about you. It is about how people feel when they work with you. Marketing is the assets built from that and where they go. And none of it works unless an advisor is willing to stand for something and put it out into the world. That is what Wade means when he says marketing is being brave.   Questions answered in this episode include: Why are advisors who post credentials and market updates getting two likes and no calls? What is brand forensics and why does it have to happen before anything else gets made? Why do 96% of prospects research an advisor online before they ever reach out? How does video outperform every other content format seven to one? Why do advisors freeze up in front of a camera when they are perfectly comfortable in a client meeting? What happened when a client showed up to a production day with a teleprompter and what changed when the script went away? What is the real difference between branding and marketing and which one has to come first?   Chapters: 00:00:52 — Introduction: Wade Shields and What Brand Forensics Actually Means 00:03:53 — What the Average Advisor Gets Wrong About Marketing 00:08:08 — The Referrals You Never Knew You Were Losing 00:08:57 — Why Video Outperforms Every Other Format 7 to 1 00:13:50 — Getting Advisors Out of Their Heads: The Interview Approach 00:17:56 — When Perfect Kills Good: The Unscripted Content Story 00:28:44 — Branding vs Marketing and the Final Takeaway   Learn more about Elite and our resources: Elite Consulting Partners | Financial Advisor Transitions https://eliteconsultingpartners.com Elite Marketing Concepts | Marketing Services for Financial Advisors https://elitemarketingconcepts.com Elite Advisor Successions | Advisor Mergers and Acquisitions https://eliteadvisorsuccessions.com JEDI Database Solutions | Technology Solutions for Advisors https://jedidatabasesolutions.com Elite Wealth Management Insights Report https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/insight-report Listen to more Advisor Talk episodes https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/

The 2nd annual charity golf tournament raised money for the American Cancer Society, Anthony showed up with 10 pounds of venison nobody would take, and somehow the conversation ended up at the Artemis 2 crew answering questions from children — all of which were about food or bodily waste. In between: how much of your charity dollar actually reaches the cause, why Mike and Jesse changed a flat tire for four kids who didn't know there was a spare in the trunk, and whether Shania Twain is famous because of talent or a lucky break. Anthony says luck. Jesse disagrees. Nobody wins.

We haven't been taught how to go within and connect with our own higher power." - Marcia Martin "Werner was smart enough to give me the room and the empowerment to get it done. He didn't micromanage me, he trusted me and he made a good bet on me." - Marcia Martin "I've figured out the concepts, the fundamentals, the ABCs of leadership and championship performance, and put them together in a way that is fun." - Marcia Martin CONNECT WITH MARCIA MARTIN

Vanessa Peace shares a powerful story of reinvention, resilience, and rediscovery after an unexpected job loss. Drawing from a dynamic career spanning companies like Southwest Airlines, AT&T, and the American Cancer Society, Vanessa reflects on how her personal challenges including raising a daughter with complex medical needs shaped her leadership style and deepened her sense of purpose. Through the lens of the Authentic Imprint™ framework, she highlights the importance of understanding and leveraging one's strengths, while aligning with core values such as authenticity, purpose, family, and love. Her journey reveals that even in moments of uncertainty and bruised confidence, clarity can emerge when you intentionally reconnect with who you are at your core. Her story is a testament to the idea that true fulfillment comes not from chasing titles, but from courageously choosing alignment and trusting that everything else will follow. Top 3 Takeaways: Clarity comes from within. Knowing your strengths, core values, and personal mission helps you navigate uncertainty and make aligned decisions even during major life transitions.

Cancer treatment advocates are asking lawmakers to support legislation (House Bill 4339/Senate Bill 809) that would ensure insurance coverage of comprehensive biomarker testing. This legislation has passed in 23 other states so far and Massachusetts appears to be falling behind on this... The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers, including survivors and patients from across Massachusetts, gathered on Beacon Hill to meet with lawmakers as part of its annual Cancer Action Day to urge them to support proposals that address the needs of cancer patients and reduce health disparities. Marc Hymovitz with the American Cancer Society discussed the MA legislation, what it includes, how it would help cancer patients, and why there is a need for this legislation in MA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cases of colorectal cancer in young people have risen nearly 60 percent since the early 2000s. That's according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute. And a new study out this month by the American Cancer Society found that colorectal cancer is now the deadliest kind for those younger than 50.But this rise isn't being felt across all generations in the same way. People born around 1990 are four times more likely to develop rectal cancer than those born around 1950. And for those 65 and older, colorectal cancer rates have actually decreased.So, what's going on? And what can you do to protect yourself and your gut health? For those answers and more, we turn to a panel of experts.Find more of our programs online.

For many Native American survivors, a cancer diagnosis is more than just a biological battle. It is a matter of balancing modern oncology with community and cultural context. American Cancer Society data show a historic 70% five-year survival rate across the general population, but Native Americans continue to face unique hurdles, from geographic isolation to chronic underfunding of the Indian Health Service. Despite these disparities, survivors are reclaiming their narratives by integrating traditional healing practices with cutting-edge science. We'll hear from Native survivors in the context of the ongoing advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatment. GUESTS Shannon Martin (Gun Lake Potawatomi), cancer survivor Jamie Gomez (Tlingit and Haida), executive director of the Tlingit and Haida Foundation and American Indian Cancer Foundation board member Alicia Mitchell (Cherokee), Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention board member and American Indian Cancer Foundation board member Nicole Hallingstad (Tlingit), cancer survivor

AI and the future of journalism In February, "Ideastream Explores: Artificial Intelligence" covered the myriad ways AI is rapidly evolving and changing our lives. It's impacting how students learn, reshaping the workforce, and we're learning more and more about the environmental costs of data centers and the massive processing power needed for generative AI programs. Ideastream hosted a "Sound of Ideas Community Tour" at the Idea Center and took part in another live event as well, about the intersection of journalism and artificial intelligence and concerns the public has about how we might be using it and what guardrails we're setting in place. The Akron Press Club has pulled together a panel today to talk about the choices newsroom are making and what the next generation of journalists are being taught about AI. Guests: - Andrew Meyer, Deputy Editor, Ideastream Public Media - Phil Trexler, Editor-in-Chief, The Marshall Project - Cleveland - Mizell Stewart, Professor-in-Residence, Kent State University Colorectal Cancer Rates Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths among people younger than 50 in the United States, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. The recent deaths of actors James Van Der Beek and Catherine O'Hara have brought renewed attention to the disease. While most cases still occur in people over 50, rates among younger adults are rising. Screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society adopted in 2018 now recommend that average-risk adults begin screening at 45 instead of 50. Colorectal cancer is highly treatable when detected early, and experts say screening options, including colonoscopies and at-home stool tests, are saving lives. Guests: - Joshua Sommovilla, M.D., Colon and Rectal Surgical Oncologist, Cleveland Clinic - Mengdan Xie, M.D., Gastroenterology, MetroHealth - Amy Fogerty, Teacher, Shaker Heights High School

From Discovery to Delivery: Charting Progress in Gynecologic Oncology, hosted by Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, brings expert insights into the most recent breakthroughs, evolving standards, and emerging therapies across gynecologic cancers. Dr Matulonis is chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology and the Brock-Wilcon Family Chair at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, as well as a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, both in Boston, Massachusetts.In this episode, Dr Matulonis sat down with guest Susana M. Campos, MD, MPH. Dr Campos is the clinical director and director of Educational Initiatives for the of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and an institute physician and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Drs Matulonis and Campos discussed the evolving landscape of newly diagnosed cervical cancer, from epidemiologic trends to emerging therapeutic strategies.According to 2026 estimates from the American Cancer Society, approximately 13,400 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, with roughly 4200 deaths. Although incidence has declined over time due to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and screening efforts, rates have plateaued, and the disease burden remains substantial, particularly among women aged 35 to 64 years. Dr Campos noted that approximately half of cases occur in women younger than 50 years of age, and about 20% are diagnosed in women older than 65 years of age.Dr Campos reviewed common presenting symptoms, including abnormal vaginal bleeding, intermenstrual or postmenopausal bleeding, abnormal discharge, pelvic pain, and, in advanced cases, urinary symptoms or leg swelling. She explained that diagnosis begins with pelvic examination and cervical cytology or HPV testing, followed by colposcopy and biopsy when indicated. Although cervical cancer remains one of the few malignancies that is clinically staged, imaging modalities, such as MRI, CT, and PET scans, are critical to accurately defining disease extent, they underscored. Moreover, the discussion highlighted transformative advances in locally advanced disease. The phase 3 KEYNOTE-A18 trial (NCT04221945) demonstrated improved progression-free and overall survival with the addition of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to standard chemoradiation, establishing a new standard for high-risk patients, Campos stated. Similarly, the phase 3 INTERLACE trial (NCT01566240) showed that short-course induction chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel before chemoradiation improved long-term outcomes. Campos forecasted that ongoing studies, including the phase 3 NRG-GY037 trial (NCT07061977), may integrate these approaches and further refine optimal treatment sequencing.Lastly, Drs Matulonis and Campos highlighted the expanding therapeutic arsenal in the recurrent and metastatic setting. Campos noted how antibody-drug conjugates, such as tisotumab vedotin-tftv (Tivdak) and fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (Enhertu), have demonstrated meaningful activity, particularly in biomarker-selected populations. Campos added that investigational strategies targeting TROP2, such as sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), represent additional promising avenues.Despite these advances, both experts emphasized that prevention remains paramount. Widespread uptake of HPV vaccination, including the 9-valent vaccine, as well as adherence to routine cervical screening, are essential to reducing the long-term burden of this largely preventable disease.

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths for Americans under the age of 50, according to a paper published last month in JAMA. This research backs up a trend that doctors have been seeing for a while now: Colon cancer isn’t just a disease that affects older people. Just last week, James Van Der Beek, who played Dawson on “Dawson’s Creek” died of colorectal cancer. He was 48 years old. In the past few years, more health organizations have followed the American Cancer Society in lowering the recommended age for colon cancer screenings from 50 to 45 years old. And more recently, there’s been a trend online that encourages people to start “fibermaxxing”... which is just a fancy way of telling them to eat more fiber. We talk to a doctor about this trend and the symptoms to look out for when it comes to colon cancer.

A cancer diagnosis can be devastating. And the chemotherapy that often follows can be particularly rigorous. The American Cancer Society projects that 2.1 million people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer in 2026—but researchers are making major advances in cancer treatment and patient survival. Ziyang Zhang is a chemist and 2023 Pew-Stewart Scholar for Cancer Research who leads cutting-edge studies on reducing the negative effects of chemotherapy on cancer patients. In his lab at the University of California, Berkeley, he and his team are producing new tools at the chemical level that will help to develop more effective therapies to target cancer mutations and avoid damage to healthy cells.
