As we have been interviewing CFOs from different industries, many finance leaders have told us that they had bracketed the CFO office as their preferred career destination beginning from Day One of their professional lives. Still others have reported that it was only due to the intervention of a determined mentor that they were able to muster the resolve to aim ever higher and ultimately arrive in the C-suite. As it turns out, neither of these profiles depicts the experience of Don Bassell, CFO of ARKO Corp., a Fortune 500 company that is one of the largest operators of convenience stores and wholesalers of fuel in the United States. For Bassell, the CFO office would become “the destination” only after he received a particular job offer when he was in his early 40s. “Something didn't feel right,” he recalls, reflecting back on the opportunity to fill a senior controller role. Bassell remembers being seated across the table from the CFO, who was trying to sell him by saying, “Don't you understand? You are going to be preparing all of the materials that will be presented inside the boardroom.” “I said to him, ‘That's the problem—I want to be inside the boardroom!,'” continues Bassell, “and that's when everything became crystal clear to me.” However, while Bassell tells us that he was confident that his breadth of experience had left him well suited and qualified for top management, he still was not convinced that the CFO office was the best ultimate destination for him. “I didn't think that I wanted to be a CFO,” remarks Bassell, who credits his eventual change of heart to a human resources consultant who pointedly cross-examined his hesitation to pursue the role. “She took me through this whole process of listing the different roles that I had had and things that I had done during my career, and she then put me through a series of questions,” explains Bassell, who adds that both he and the consultant ended up almost simultaneously saying the same words: “Okay, it looks like the CFO office it is.”     To better reveal the scope of Bassell's experiences, the consultant had helped him to reformulate his executive resume by using a listing of the different functional roles that he had filled rather than the traditional chronological list—a change that helped even Bassell to better digest the fact that he now had a CFO resume. Says Bassell: “It was a crossroads for me—she really helped me to assess what it was that I wanted to do.” –Jack Sweeney

“Please don't call me a bean counter.” With that statement, Don Bassell is ready to exit the convenience-store industry with plans to retire at the end of this year. After 42 years mostly on the financial side of the business and with companies as varied as Tenneco Oil, Amoco, Mid-Atlantic Convenience Stores and GPM Investments, Bassell has seen the industry evolve from a gasoline marketer to the food-focused retailer of today. In this episode of At Your Convenience, CSP Editor-in-Chief Steve Holtz reviews career highlights and industry insights with Bassell.

We have a limited amount of time. We must align our values and time and ask ourselves what is important to us? Would I like to be working 80 hour weeks? Or would I rather be having dinner with my family? On today's episode, Justin Bassell, CLU ChFC joins us. Justin is a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company and the founder of Systems on Purpose, a platform helping advisors automize their workflow and integrate efficient work patterns into their business. We will be discussing issues in recruiting and retention, ways we can make the industry more balanced, and how his business is helping advisors become more organized and conscious of their time.  As an advisor himself, he has seen the flaws in our industry first hand. Building a business or brand is hard work, we want to generate profit and find success. The advising industry is great at setting benchmarks for newcomers, but this is also contributing to high turnover rates. It can lead to burnout if we aren't careful. Having goals and benchmarks for success is necessary to measure metrics of one's success but how much influence do we let this have over our lives? Justin discusses how we must change the onboarding process in the industry to keep advisors interested and passionate about the field.  Justin has gone on his own journey to find balance. He has regained control over his schedule and workflow, allowing him to help others through Systems on Purpose. His program automates those common client correspondences, helps you organize your calendar, and provides an easier point A to point B workflow. To Justin, work-life balance is about aligning your values and spending your time where you want to be spending it. Join us today as we discuss how you can achieve balance!  Listen to the episode to learn more about:  Systems on Purpose and how their program is helping advisors  Justin's experience working with Travis  Recruiting and retention in the financial field    TIMESTAMPS 1:12 – Justin's definition of work-life balance 2:47 – When did he feel unbalanced? 4:46 – What ‘woke him up'? 7:24 – How has he seen advisors struggle? 11:09 – What's the key for new advisors and leaders? 16:37 – How has he developed habits? 20:17 – Becoming a more authentic person 22:08 – Systems on Purpose 29:08 – How to connect with Justin?   RESOURCES Read more about Systems on Purpose Email: travis@travisparry.com Get Travis' newest book!

J., Lah, J. J., Levey, A. I., Shulman, J. M., Seyfried, N. T. Abstract: One of the defining pathological features of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the deposition of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau in the brain. Aberrant activation of kinases in AD has been suggested to enhance phosphorylation and toxicity of tau, making the responsible tau-directed kinases attractive therapeutic targets. The full complement of tau interacting kinases in AD brain and their activity in disease remains incompletely defined. Here, immunoaffinity enrichment coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) identified TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) as a tau-interacting partner in human AD cortical brain tissues. We validated this interaction in both human AD and familial frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) caused by mutations in MAPT (R406W) postmortem brain tissues as well as human cell lines. Further, we document increased TBK1 activity in both AD and FTDP-17 and map the predominant TBK1 phosphorylation sites on tau based on in vitro kinase assays coupled to MS. Lastly, in a Drosophila tauopathy model, activating expression of a conserved TBK1 ortholog triggers tau hyperphosphorylation and enhanced neurodegeneration, whereas knockdown had the reciprocal effect, suppressing tau toxicity. Collectively, our findings suggest that increased TBK1 activity may promote tau hyperphosphorylation and neuronal loss in AD and related tauopathies. Copy rights belong to original authors.
