In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the foundational strategies for building a seven-figure coaching business. From the mindset of high achievers to the frameworks that drive real growth, they explore actionable techniques for creating market-dominating positions, effective communication, and navigating hot topics like Bitcoin and AI disruption. With practical examples and powerful reframes, this episode delivers the essentials every coach needs to serve business owners at the highest level and stand out in a crowded market. Key Topics Covered The Power of Organization in Success High performers like Bill Gates and Ray Dalio are relentlessly organized, or surround themselves with those who are. Discipline in personal routines (e.g., marathon training) as a metaphor for business and life success. Bitcoin, Regulation, and Asset Allocation Karl unpacks his approach to Bitcoin: ignore price, focus on regulation and adoption. Key frameworks from Ray Dalio on what makes an asset “money” (medium of exchange + store of value). Highlights risks (regulation, privacy, technological vulnerabilities) and how to approach crypto allocation for clients. Building a Market-Dominating Position How to craft a Unique Selling Proposition that actually solves the biggest pain for your ideal client—beyond superficial “price and location” concerns. Practical examples: Daycare with “Web Watch” accountability, Domino's “30 minutes or it's free,” FedEx's “When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.” Emphasis: Most businesses are already delivering elements of market-dominating value—they just need to surface and communicate it boldly. Communication Mastery The three levels of communication: with yourself, with others, with technology. Quality of life is directly tied to quality of communication (a Tony Robbins insight). When facing big issues, use higher forms of communication: in-person > phone > email/text. How great communication with clients, your tech stack (AI, prompts), and yourself rewires your business for growth. Coaching Mindsets for Results Coaches should expect greatness from clients and raise their standards for themselves. Learn from setbacks: suffering and difficulty create capability (Naval Ravikant wisdom). Highlighting the importance of consistency and incremental improvement (the 1% better principle). Notable Quotes “Don't watch the price of Bitcoin. Watch the regulation. Watch the adoption. That's where the action is.” — Karl Bryan “Market-dominating positions solve the biggest problem for the ideal client—and then you say it loud, say it boldly, say it consistently.” — Karl Bryan “The quality of your life is the quality of your communication.” — (paraphrasing Tony Robbins) “Most are already doing it—they just need to highlight and promote the right thing.” — Rode Dog “You don't solve a big problem with a weak level of communication.” — Karl Bryan, referencing Mr. Beast “Difficulty creates capability… Be comfortable with becoming more capable every day.” — Karl Bryan (adapting Naval Ravikant) Actionable Takeaways 1. Audit Your Offer: Identify the actual biggest pain points of your ideal client (go deeper than what they say first). Build your messaging and USP around solving those. 2. Boldly Promote Your Strengths: If you have a process or level of service that beats competitors, make it the centerpiece of all communications—website, business cards, ads, phone scripts. 3. Communication Hierarchy: For critical issues, escalate from text/email to phone, and from phone to face-to-face. Don't try to salvage major problems with “low-level” communication. 4. Asset Allocation for Clients: If recommending investments (like Bitcoin), keep allocations conservative (Karl suggests 10%, max 20%). Focus on regulatory trends and utility, not hype. 5. Expect Greatness—First from Yourself, Then from Clients: Upgrade your inner dialogue, set clear standards, and encourage clients to do the same. 6. Consistency Trumps Perfection: Apply the 1% better every day rule—compounding improvements yield exponential outcomes. 7. Serve Before You Sell: Offer value and solve real problems up front, which builds lasting trust and opens referrals.

The US government hurtled toward a Wednesday shutdown as Democrats blocked a Republican stopgap funding package that didn't address their demands, the latest sign that neither party was likely to fold in the final hours before a federal funding deadline. With no more votes planned in the Senate before a midnight deadline, the White House's Office of Management and Budget instructed government agencies to "execute their plans for an orderly shutdown." Despite the risk of a shutdown, US equities notched a second straight quarter of gains. We spoke to is Viraj Patel, Executive VP & Head of Asset Allocation at Fiduciary Trust International.Plus - China's Golden Week starts, with all eyes on consumption over the holiday. Millions are set to travel, shop, and dine during that time period. Their spending data will offer clues on whether deflationary pressures are easing and if policy support is translating into real economic activity. To encourage consumption, city governments are issuing coupons largely targeting autos, dining and tourism, while the central government released service-industry stimulus measures, including extended museum hours and more sports events. For more, we spoke to Catherine Lim, Senior Analyst: Consumer and Technology for Bloomberg Intelligence. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're just hours away from rate decision day, with both the Fed and the Bank of Canada holding press conferences today. Last week's inflation and employment reports suggest a green light for rate cuts across the board. But questions surrounding how current political sentiment is shaping long-term Fed independence still remain. How might the markets react if rate cuts do resume? And looking further down the line, will a change in Fed personnel result in a shift in how monetary policy is fundamentally conducted? Joining today's episode to discuss how these key economic and market factors are contributing to asset allocation decision making is Portfolio Manager and member of Fidelity's Global asset allocation group, David Wolf. Recorded on September 15, 2025. At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead. We offer investors and institutions a range of innovative and trusted investment portfolios to help them reach their financial and life goals. Fidelity mutual funds and ETFs are available by working with a financial advisor or through an online brokerage account. Visit fidelity.ca/howtobuy for more information. For a fourth year in a row, FidelityConnects by Fidelity Investments Canada was ranked #1 podcast by Canadian financial advisors in the 2024 Environics' Advisor Digital Experience Study.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast was a conversation that was recorded live at Morningstar's Investment Conference in Chicago earlier this year.Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor took time out of his packed schedule at the event to sit down with me for a thought-provoking conversation that dove into the nuances of many of the trends that are shaping private markets today.Morningstar and Kunal have quite an interesting perch in the market. They occupy a critically important function in the market: helping investors understand the data, structures, and trends in public and private markets. They provide fund ratings, investment analysis, and market data to both individual and institutional investors.As public and private markets experience increasing convergence, Morningstar finds itself at the intersection of markets that are undergoing rapid evolutions across product structures, asset allocation frameworks, and weighty questions around conceptual frameworks of liquidity, risk, volatility, concentration that are on the minds of many. Amongst the wide range of topics Kunal and I covered, one stood out: Morningstar is fiercely on the side of the investor.If there's anyone who has a deep understanding of Morningstar's DNA, it's Kunal. Kunal started at Morningstar in 1997 as a data analyst, holding a variety of roles at the firm, including leadership positions in research and innovation. He served as director of mutual fund research and was part of the team that launched Morningstar Investment Services, Inc., before moving on to other roles including director of business strategy for international operations, and later, president and chief investment officer of Morningstar Investment Services. During his tenure, he has also led Morningstar.com® and the firm's data business as well as its global products and client solutions group.Kunal and I had a fascinating and lively conversation. We covered a number of the most pressing topics in private markets today: the convergence of public and private, liquidity vs illiquidity, investor education, the importance of transparency, and the why, what, and how behind evergreen funds.Thanks Kunal for coming on the show to share your wisdom, expertise, and passion for public and private markets.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

This week, Monika explores the big question: is your career heading for a sudden cliff or does it have a runway for take-off? She draws parallels from past disruptions — typesetters replaced by computers and librarians displaced by the internet — to highlight how today's fears around AI are part of a recurring pattern. Some people adapt and thrive by upskilling, while others stagnate. Monika shares warning signs of career stagnation, from outdated roles and lack of new skills to limited visibility with decision-makers.Monika then outlines how to turn a potential cliff into a growth runway. It begins with honest self-assessment and continuous learning through micro-courses, mentors, and side projects. A growth mindset, curiosity, and the willingness to adapt are crucial safety nets in uncertain times. She emphasizes the power of networking with peers and mentors already thriving in the new environment. Drawing inspiration from Peter Drucker's lifelong learning journey, Monika reminds us that constant adaptation is the only way to stay relevant.In listener questions, Sneha Rege writes about transitioning from a misled ULIP investor to an aspiring SEBI-registered advisor and asks about international diversification and classifying NPS in asset allocation. Abhishek Kumar Goyel, a merchant navy professional, seeks guidance on consolidating a scattered portfolio and creating financial order. And Anonymous, an early retiree, worries about whether a flat or prolonged bear market could derail her investments.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Work Does Not End, Jobs Do: Navigating Career Cliffs and Runways(00:00 – 00:00) International Diversification and Global Fund Choices(00:00 – 00:00) NPS in Asset Allocation and Retirement Planning(00:00 – 00:00) Bringing Order to a Scattered Financial Portfolio(00:00 – 00:00) Managing Retirement Wealth Against Market RisksIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠@MonikaHalan⁠Production House: ⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠Production Assistant:⁠ Anshika Gogoi

What if choosing your asset allocation was as personal as your life story—and as consequential as your retirement? In this episode, we are joined by PWL Capital's Louai Bibi and Ben Wilson for a deep dive into how advisors guide clients through the most important portfolio decision they'll ever make. Louai walks us through the research, psychology, and planning frameworks behind determining the right stock/bond mix, while Ben shares real-world insights from client cases where risk tolerance, pensions, and life events shifted the balance. We explore how Monte Carlo simulations stress-test financial plans, why spouses often disagree on risk, and how pensions act as “bond-like assets” in the bigger picture. Ben Wilson also takes us behind the scenes of PWL's post-OneDigital acquisition journey, revealing why advisors are drawn to join the firm, how succession planning shapes their choices, and why a unified evidence-based philosophy matters in Canada's wealth management landscape. The episode wraps with a fascinating look at surprising stock return outliers—like Build-A-Bear outperforming Nvidia—and what that teaches us about the futility of stock-picking versus the power of diversification. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:00) Introducing PWL's Louai Bibi and Ben Wilson—today's topics: asset allocation, advisor succession, and surprising stock return data. (0:03:35) Louai explains the asset allocation decision: balancing stocks vs. bonds and why it's the biggest choice investors make. (0:05:12) Why asset allocation matters: inflation erodes purchasing power, and stocks/bonds help investors keep up or outpace it. (0:06:50) Historical lessons: $1 invested since 1970—outcomes for bonds, balanced portfolios, and 100% equities. (0:08:35) The risks of downturns: 2008 as a case study in how stocks vs. bonds shape losses and recovery times. (0:11:39) Risk tolerance questionnaires: how PWL uses surveys to gauge willingness vs. capacity to take risk. (0:13:45) When spouses disagree on risk tolerance—balancing perspectives and sometimes splitting portfolios. (0:16:42) Risk capacity: pensions, insurance, income stability, and emergency funds all shape asset allocation. (0:20:08) Real client cases: retirees discovering they don't need as much stock exposure, or elderly clients increasing equity later in life. (0:22:47) How often do clients change asset allocations? Rarely—except for life events like retirement. (0:27:10) Why Monte Carlo simulations are essential for stress-testing financial plans beyond straight-line projections. (0:30:20) PWL's “asset allocation email”: summarizing risks, pensions, debt, emergency funds, and personalized tradeoffs. (0:34:02) Pensions as “bond-like assets”—how they increase ability but decrease need to take risk. (0:37:11) Closing thoughts from Louai: think in dollar terms, investing is a marathon, and build confidence gradually. (0:39:32) Education shifts clients' choices: some reduce risk after learning the realities of volatility, others increase equity exposure with context. (0:43:10) Advisor “fixed effects”: research shows the advisor's own perspective strongly shapes client allocations. (0:45:39) Transition to Ben Wilson: what motivates advisors to join PWL post-OneDigital acquisition. (0:47:52) Reputation and content: how Rational Reminder, YouTube, blogs, and Canadian Couch Potato attract advisors. (0:50:34) PWL's unified philosophy: evidence-based, passive investing with a planning-first approach. (0:56:30) Key motivators for advisors: reducing admin burdens, escaping “aggregator” models, and building integrated team structures. (1:00:15) Succession planning: why advisors seek peace of mind for their clients and teams by partnering with PWL. (1:03:04) Ben Felix on why these conversations are exciting and why advisors should reach out early. (1:04:54) After show: Nvidia's insane 70% annualized 5-year return—and why lesser-known names like Build-A-Bear, Celestica, and Dillard's did even better. (1:06:33) Celestica's role in DFA funds and how it helped them keep pace with Shopify-driven indexes. (1:09:25) Why broad diversification captures unexpected winners (Build-A-Bear included) without speculation. (1:10:45) Active advisors pitch “winner-picking”—but history shows how impossible that really is. (1:12:16) Reviews and wrap-up.
