Podcast appearances and mentions of Brad Johnson

I've been digging into mobile home park investing for some personal initiatives lately, so this was a genuinely selfish interview for me. My guest, Brad Johnson, is the co-founder and CIO of Vintage Capital, and he's got the kind of resume that makes you want to just sit back and ask questions: 20 years across traditional and alternative asset classes, over $3.3 billion in commercial real estate acquisitions closed, and a rare perspective as both a former mobile home park operator and a current capital allocator in the space. We started with his own jump from Wall Street, leaving a real estate investment bank in his mid-30s, right after having his first kid, because manufactured housing showed the highest cash flow yields paired with the lowest default rates he'd ever seen, a combination that shouldn't exist but does. From there we got tactical: what makes mobile home parks structurally different from other real estate, why owning the infrastructure instead of the homes themselves changes your entire profit margin, and the specific due diligence checklist Brad runs on every deal, from market-level home price ratios down to road and utility conditions. We also got into the money side that most people never hear about: seller financing on smaller parks, how mom-and-pop sellers with decades of depreciation often want creative structuring more than a cash-out, and the accelerated depreciation tax benefit tied to land improvements that can hand investors an outsized first-year tax loss. Brad closed with a stat that stuck with me: the major players in this space have never had a negative year of net operating income growth in 25 years, a steady 5% annual compound that's almost unheard of in a normally cyclical asset class. If you've ever driven past a mobile home community and wondered whether there was real money in it, or you're already investing creatively and want to know how this niche fits into a three paydays approach, this conversation is worth your full attention.   Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:44  Introducing Brad Johnson, co-founder and CIO of Vintage Capital 01:04  Brad's 20 years across traditional and alternative asset classes, and $3.3 billion in acquisitions 02:05  Why Brad chose real estate over Wall Street securities: insider knowledge and lower volatility 03:15  Discovering manufactured housing's unusual combination of high yield and low default rates 03:33  Leaving a W-2 in his mid-30s, right after his first child, to buy mobile home parks 05:19  Advice for high income earners stuck and afraid to leave their W-2 07:23  Why mobile home parks structurally have low default rates and declining supply 08:35  Why owning the infrastructure instead of the homes creates higher profit margins 09:42  Park sizes Vintage Capital focuses on: the 50 to 150 pad middle market 11:53  Key due diligence: market-level home prices, population stability, and infrastructure condition 16:20  The accelerated depreciation tax benefit tied to land improvements and infrastructure 17:33  Why Vintage Capital partners with local operators and avoids anti-landlord states 19:34  How seller financing shows up in mobile home park deals, and why 22:08  A real community story: a woman who focused on free-and-clear parks for creative financing 23:12  Why clustering smaller parks into a regional portfolio creates arbitrage opportunities 24:32  How to reach Brad and Vintage Capital directly 25:37  The stat that stands out: 25 years without a single negative year of NOI growth   Quotables "If I don't do it now, I'm never going to do it."

This one flips the usual format. Instead of hosting, I was the guest on the Beyond The Trees podcast with Alex Murphy, from the team at Cedarwood Financial Partners.We talked about something a lot of advisors feel but rarely say out loud. You can hit the numbers, look successful from the outside, and still feel disconnected from the work and the life you thought you were building.I share the moment that forced me to rethink what success actually meant and why there is an important difference between building success and building significance.We also look at what your calendar reveals about your real priorities, why many advisors underestimate the value of their own time, and how holding onto the wrong work can quietly limit both the business and the life you are trying to create.This conversation is about the hidden cost of success and the choices that determine whether your firm ultimately supports your life or slowly takes it over.3 Insights From This Week's Episode…#1.) Successful on Paper, Trapped in PracticeA lot of founders leave one situation to build something better, then look up a few years later feeling boxed in by the thing they created. We get into why this happens and how easy it is to miss until it is well underway.#2.) The Conversation Finance Doesn't Want to HaveBurnout, loneliness at the top, needing outside help. These show up constantly behind closed doors and almost never on stage. We talk about why the industry stays quiet about it and what that silence costs.#3.) What an Hour of Your Time Is Actually WorthMost advisors have never put a real number on their own time, so they spend hours on work they would never pay someone else to do. We explore why that math changes how you think about hiring, delegation, and growth.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/180FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Aug. 5, 2026 Property management has long struggled with a basic problem: no two companies calculate their numbers the same way. In this episode, host Pete Neubig sits down with Brad Johnson, CEO of ProfitCoach, and Wolfgang Croskey, owner of Croskey Real Estate and co-founder of Crane, to unpack how the NARPM® Corporate and Trust Accounting Standards are solving that problem for good. Brad and Wolfgang walk through the origin of the corporate accounting standards back in 2018; why granular, standardized financial data matters for benchmarking and valuations; and how the newer NARPM® Trust Chart of Accounts is bringing that same clarity to trust accounting — right down to the property level.

Jack Storms lost sight in one eye after an accident with the craft he'd spent nearly two decades mastering, then had to relearn his work from scratch. Jack is a glass sculptor whose cold-worked, Fibonacci-driven pieces live inside Marvel films and private collections. His story lives somewhere between engineering, physical trauma, and the question of what art is truly for.We got into what happened on that grinding wheel, the surgery that cost him the rest of his sight, and why he had to return to beginner-level fundamentals to keep sculpting. His work uses only straight lines when almost nothing in nature does, and the golden ratio runs through everything he makes.Then it gets stranger. Five pieces in his studio started degrading at once during the worst stretch of his life, a coincidence Jack says led him to isochronic tones, frequency work with engineer Brad Johnson, and a wearable line drawing on Royal Rife's ideas.Visit lukestorey.com/jackstorms and use code LUKESTOREY for 15% off.You'll learn:[0:00] Introduction[2:35] The freak grinding accident that shot glass into Jack's face like a gunshot[8:53] How the Fibonacci ratio became God's signature hidden inside his work[13:52] The invisible seam trick that lets you see clear through the glass[20:27] Why fascist propaganda art has no soul, and what Goya was really warning us about[27:30] Why houses should be domes, and recreating how crystals grow as art[33:20] The negative Reiki that ruined five pieces, and discovering isochronic tones[40:20] How Brad Johnson imprints Rife frequencies into glass, and the road-rage breakdown[53:09] Boys blow glass and men sculpt it, plus the Guardians of the Galaxy deal[1:03:37] The torus donut piece he dreams of building as his magnum opusResources Mentioned:Fibonacci Sequence | WikipediaGolden Ratio | WikipediaStan Lee | WikipediaFrancisco Goya | WikipediaTartarian Empire | WikipediaGeoship | WebsiteIsochronic Tones | WikipediaBrad Johnson, Fre-Q | WebsiteRoyal Rife | WikipediaQuantum Entanglement | WikipediaFull show notes at lukestorey.com/jackstormspodRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Living Outside of the Box: Sacred Geometry Dome Homes w/ Geoship's Morgan Bierschenk | PodcastFind more from Jack:Jack Storms | Website | Instagram | Facebook | X | TikTok | YouTubeFind more from Luke:Luke Storey | Instagram | Facebook | X | YouTube | LinkedInThe Life Stylist is Brought To You By:NUCALM | Visit lukestorey.com/nucalm to start your free seven-day trial and save 15% on your subscription.APOLLO NEURO | Visit apolloneuro.com/luke and use code LUKE for $99 off.QUANTUM UPGRADE | Visit lukestorey.com/quantumupgrade and use code LUKE15 to start your 15-day free trial.PIQUE | Visit piquelife.com/luke and get 15% off for life when you subscribe.

Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brad Johnson joins Rock Riley and Chris Mathis filling in for TKras on The Drive, to share his perspective on Baker Mayfield's contract situation with the Buccaneers. Having experienced the highs and pressures of leading an NFL franchise, Johnson explains why Baker's priority should remain on winning football games and letting the business side work itself out. The conversation also dives into Tampa Bay's expectations for 2026, what makes Baker successful in this offense, and why the Buccaneers have all the pieces to make another deep playoff run if they stay healthy.

I was so thrilled to sit down again with my dear friends and true allies, Dave Smith and Brad Johnson . Every time we connect, it feels like a warm reminder of what sustained, meaningful allyship really looks like—not just showing up when it's trending, but doing the steady, daily work that actually moves the needle.  Listening to them walk through their allyship trilogy, from Athena Rising to The Good Guys and now their latest book, Fair Share, brought back so many memories of my own journey navigating corporate America as a new mom. (Trust me, I've shed my fair share of tears over spilled milk in a workplace closet!) What I love most about Brad and Dave is how they balance deep research with practical, real-world solutions that lift everyone up. They remind us that creating gender fairness isn't just about asking individual allies to do more. It's about fixing the broken systems so doing the right thing becomes the default. Key Themes Caregiving Skills Build Better Workplace Leaders Active caregiving and fatherhood develop crucial human skills like empathy and emotional intelligence, which directly transfer into effective leadership at work. "Dad's brains begin to shift and change, too. We're developing these skills around empathy that translates right back into the workplace when we go back to work." — David Smith Moving from Individual Allyship to Systemic Change Relying solely on individual (s)heroics isn't enough to achieve true equity. Organizations must embed allyship and gender fairness directly into company policies, metrics, and manager training. "All of these ally efforts are gonna be sort of one by one by one forever. Until the workplace changes, you see all the estimates that we have about a century to go to get to real gender parity." — Brad Johnson Supporting Paid Leave and Caregiving Transitions Creating a culture that normalizes and actively plans for parental and caregiving leave for both mothers and fathers improves employee retention and strengthens managerial capabilities. "Think about the work that's gotta be done when he or she leaves the workforce for this paid leave period, the transition back into the workforce with a plan. The minute you can do that, you're making better managers." — David Smith Unlocking Hidden Talent Through Returnships Organizations facing talent shortages can tap into a massive, highly qualified pool of candidates by creating clear pathways for individuals returning to the workforce after extended caregiving breaks. "Organizations aren't looking at those women, and they're forgetting that. Half the people at the top of the curve on IQ, EQ, creativity, they're out there if you would only create a glide path to return to your organization." — Brad Johnson Actionable Takeaway for Listeners Audit and support your managerial capabilities: To move from individual efforts to systemic fairness, organizations must carefully select managers based on competencies and actively train them to execute flexible work policies, support parental leave transitions, and lead inclusively.

On this episode of the Deal Farm®, Kevin and Ken sit down with Brad Johnson to trace his journey from logistics consulting and casual weekend investing to building a mobile home park portfolio and ultimately closing over $3.3 billion in commercial real estate. Brad shares how spotting unusually high yields and low default rates in manufactured housing data led him to a niche most investors were completely ignoring in 2013, and how seller financing on his very first Kansas City park set the tone for how he approached deals. He breaks down the operational realities of running mobile home parks that most investors underestimate, and why boots-on-the-ground management is non-negotiable in value-add deals. If you're looking to understand how to find alpha in overlooked asset classes and scale a real estate business the right way, this episode is a masterclass.

A Quick Note to Listners: Before this week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: I'm thinking about retiring in a year, but I want to do something part time. What are some options you've learned about consulting that I might be able to develop for me? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Brad Johnson and Rachel Edoho-Eket: In this episode of Principal Matters, Dr. Schwanke is joined by two heavy hitters in the education world: Dr. Brad Johnson, author of over 20 books including the newly released Coffee with the Custodian, and Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket, a Blue Ribbon school principal, TEDx speaker, and President of the Maryland Association of Elementary School Principals. Together, we dive into the core philosophy of their co-authored book, Relational Intelligence. We challenge the outdated “command and control” model of leadership, shifting the focus from technical systems to the human systems that actually drive school success. As we discuss, while strategy is important, it simply doesn't move the needle if the foundational relationships aren't in place. Emotional Intelligence and Relational Intelligence: In our conversation, we explore the critical distinction between Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Relational Intelligence (RQ). While EQ helps a leader understand themselves, RQ is what allows them to effectively lead others by navigating the complex web of stakeholders—from students and staff to parents and the central office. Brad and Rachel share practical advice on how busy administrators can prioritize “connection over compliance.” We talk about making “relational deposits,” the power of being vulnerable enough to admit when we don’t have all the answers, and why research shows that RQ is actually a better predictor of leadership success than IQ. The Million Dollar Questions: Finally, we tackle the “million-dollar questions” of school leadership: handling toxic staff members and preventing burnout. Dr. Johnson shares his “HOPE” framework—focusing on Help, Opportunity, Praise, and Encouragement—to flip the script on our natural tendency toward negativity. We wrap up with a look at his narrative approach to leadership in his new book, reminding us that the best insights often come from the most “invisible” people in our buildings. This conversation is a powerful reminder that while your title gives you your position, your relationships are what truly define your impact.

Brad Johnson

In this episode of Q&A with Koloff, Nikita Koloff welcomes branding strategist, entrepreneur, and former Disney creative Matt Ferguson for an inspiring conversation about faith, leadership, purpose, and making an impact in the marketplace. Matt shares his journey from playing football at Florida State alongside legends like Deon Sanders, Charlie Ward, and Brad Johnson to helping shape storytelling and branding at Disney before launching the Ever After Group. Along the way, he explains how his relationship with Jesus has influenced every aspect of his life and career, whether serving churches, nonprofits, or major organizations. Nikita and Matt also discuss the influence of great coaches, the life lessons learned through sports, the importance of authentic faith in the workplace, and their unforgettable experience together in Israel. The conversation culminates with a powerful reminder that faith isn't just about eternity—it's about living with purpose, peace, and hope every day.

For years, conversations about gender equity at work have been framed as a women's issue. But what if that's the wrong conversation entirely? What if the real challenge isn't fixing women so they can survive outdated systems—but fixing the systems themselves? In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. David Smith and Dr. Brad Johnson, co-authors of Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together, to unpack what true gender fairness looks like in today's workplace. Together, they explore why gender equity benefits everyone, how outdated workplace norms are hurting both women and men, and what leaders can do to create workplaces where people can thrive professionally and personally. This conversation challenges zero-sum thinking, dismantles harmful workplace myths, and offers practical strategies for building more equitable organizations—without pitting one gender against another. In This Episode We Discuss: What gender fairness actually means—and why it's not the same as treating everyone exactly the same Why gender equity benefits men, women, organizations, and families The myth that gender fairness requires men to lose in order for women to win Why workplace equity is a leadership responsibility, not a women's initiative How caregiving expectations impact career advancement for both women and men Why flexibility, caregiving support, and pay transparency matter The role leaders play in creating inclusive and equitable workplaces Gender fairness isn't about giving one group an advantage—it's about creating workplaces that reflect how people actually live, work, lead, and care today. When organizations stop trying to fix individuals and start fixing outdated systems, everyone benefits. Thank you to our sponsors!

Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together by W. Brad Johnson, David G. Smith https://www.amazon.com/Fair-Share-Equitable-Workplace-Together/dp/1647826829 How outdated work norms undermine careers, caregiving, and gender equity—and how leaders can fix the system. The workplace is broken—and it’s holding everyone back. Women still struggle to grow in their careers, while men who endeavor to do their part at home are often stigmatized. This disconnect means that even when men take part in flexible work arrangements or contribute to caregiving, women end up picking up the slack and missing out on professional opportunities. If companies want to reach their full potential and achieve true fairness at work, the workplace must change—and it starts at the top. In Fair Share, gender-in-the-workplace experts W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith offer a blueprint for how leaders can break down systemic barriers across the organization so that men can do more outside of paid work and women can take their rightful place in the ranks of corporate leadership. They suggest focusing on three key areas: Rethinking company culture and the structure of work Going all-in on caregiving options and employee benefits Making gender fairness routine through process and policies Filled with examples and insights from both men and women, Fair Share offers a look at what companies can become when leaders finally break down the obstacles holding everyone back. By working together, men and women can create a better workplace, one where every individual can achieve what they want—both at work and at home.

The traditional workplace model, designed in the twentieth century, no longer serves the realities of contemporary life. W. Brad Johnson and David Smith, two former Navy officers turned leading researchers on workplace gender equity, have spent decades studying what actually makes organizations thrive. Their journey from military service to academia reveals that the most pressing business challenge of our time is not technological innovation or market disruption, but rather the fundamental misalignment between how we structure work and how people actually live their lives. Brad and David's research has evolved significantly over their careers. They began by studying mentoring relationships and how men could become better mentors for women, then shifted to examining public allyship and holding men accountable for gender fairness. However, their most transformative insight came when they realized that without changing the fundamental structures of work itself, individual efforts could only go so far. They discovered that most people today live in dual-earner, dual-career families, yet workplaces continue operating as though employees have no caregiving responsibilities. They emphasize that this is not merely a women's issue or a diversity initiative, but rather a fundamental question of organizational design and leadership courage. Organizations must create psychological safety where employees can be honest about their caregiving responsibilities and their needs. They must embrace role modeling from senior leaders who openly discuss their own caregiving challenges and demonstrate that it is possible to be both a committed caregiver and a high-performing professional.

What if I told you there's a simple concept that could unlock exponential growth in your business, without adding more hours to your workweek?I've used this framework hundreds of times in coaching conversations, and it's created more breakthroughs than anything else I've ever shared with advisors.It all comes down to the value of an hour of your time.In this solo episode, I walk you through an eye-opening exercise to help you calculate what your time is really worth, and more importantly, what's stealing it. You'll discover how to delegate low-value tasks, free up your calendar for high-impact work, and scale your firm without sacrificing your personal freedom.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) The Hidden Number That Controls Your GrowthI break down a simple formula that calculates what an hour of your time is worth as a business owner, and why this number matters far more than most advisors realize.#2.) Get Non-Revenue Driving Work Off Your PlatePaperwork, service work, HR issues, and admin responsibilities are all important aspects of running a business, but they often pull founders away from the activities that deliver the best ROI. The more time you spend in low-leverage work, the harder it becomes to scale.#3.) The “Sue” Exercise That Changes How You Think About DelegationI share a powerful coaching framework that helps advisors realize they've already hired the most expensive employee in the business: themselves.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/169FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Most advisors build their business on momentum instead of intention, duct-taping it together as they go, and then wondering years later why growth feels so hard.What if the problem isn't effort? What if it's the foundation?In this solo episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I'd invest the first $100,000 if I was starting a financial advisory practice from scratch. Three investments, in order, that I believe separate the advisors who build something bigger than themselves from the ones who stay stuck grinding at a ceiling they didn't even know they built.These aren't industry secrets. They're not complicated. But the fastest-growing advisors I've coached (and I've worked with folks managing hundreds of millions) did all three on purpose, and they did them early. That's the difference.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) The First Hire Every Advisor Should MakeMost advisors wait too long to hire an EA because they think they can't afford it. I want to flip that entirely. Every hour you spend on admin, scheduling, and paperwork is a direct tax on your revenue ceiling. A great EA creates leverage.#2.) Marketing Isn't Optional, It's the EngineI break down the mindset shift that separates advisors who consistently invest in marketing from those who treat it like an expense, and why funding a proven one-to-many system early is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make.#3.) Your Office Is Sending a Message. Is It the Right One?The environment where you meet clients isn't just a backdrop. It's a direct signal about the experience they can expect. Your space affects not just your clients' confidence in you, but your confidence in yourself.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/168FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Ever walked out of a first meeting thinking it went great, only to have the prospect disappear?I see this happen to really great advisors all the time. The conversation is professional, the planning process is solid, and the explanation makes perfect sense. But somewhere along the way, the energy in the room fades and the prospect never takes the next step.In this episode, I break down a simple shift that can completely change how your first appointments feel and how prospects respond. It's a small adjustment in how you frame the conversation, but once you see it, you'll start noticing it in almost every meeting.3 of the biggest insights from Brad…#1.) The “Is Trap” That Turns Advisors Into CommoditiesMany advisors unknowingly start their meetings by explaining tools, products, and process. The problem? That approach can quietly turn even great advisors into just another option.#2.) The Communication Gap That Loses ProspectsPlenty of advisors have great planning processes, but struggle to explain them in simple language. When the explanation becomes too technical, prospects stop leaning in.#3.) The Simple Flip That Changes First MeetingsWhen you shift the conversation toward what the plan actually means to the client's life, the entire dynamic of the meeting changes, and prospects begin engaging at a much deeper level.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/165FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Send us Fan MailA season can swing on one awkward landing, one freak play, one practice rep you never see coming and Brad Johnson has lived that reality. Brad joins us from Cleveland as an assistant men's basketball coach at Baldwin Wallace University, and we get into what it's like to return to your alma mater with big standards, a young roster, and a year that gets hit early by injuries. We talk through how a staff keeps players focused, how culture shows up when the rotation disappears, and why the Ohio Athletic Conference is a weekly grind in Division III basketball.We also go beyond the box score into the human side of the job. Brad and his wife Alyssa are both college coaches, which means recruiting travel, late nights, and seasons that collide at the worst times. We share what actually helps a coaching marriage work, why the offseason matters, and how support looks when you can't always be in the stands. If you care about work life balance in coaching, athlete development, or what it takes to stay steady when results swing fast, you'll hear plenty that feels real.Along the way we hit college hoops fandom, the impact of NIL on the college basketball landscape, and the kind of community you get at smaller schools where people still know your name years later. Then we lighten it up with the Fast Fiddy Five, a Cleveland East Side vs West Side check-in, and a spirited sidebar on whether NASCAR drivers are athletes.If you enjoy honest sports stories and the behind-the-scenes reality of college coaching, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find it.

In this episode of the Model FA podcast, host David DeCelle talks with Brad Johnson, co-founder of Triad Partners, about his non-linear entry into financial services and the profound internal work required to shift from top producer to effective CEO. Brad explains why financial advisory remains fundamentally a relationship business, how Triad redefines "success" as simultaneous business growth and life fulfillment ("Do Business. Do Life."), and why emotional stability and self-management are strategic leadership assets. The episode explores both operational and psyche-focused dimensions of entrepreneurial leadership for advisors committed to building firms that matter. In this episode: • Accidental Beginnings, Intentional Leadership: Brad candidly breaks down how a chance entry into finance evolved into a purpose-driven career and why hard work and reflection matter more than luck. • The Industry Is Evolving, but Relationships Still Win: Despite tech and platform shifts, trust and human connection remain the core currency of financial advice. • CEO Mindset vs. Advisor Mindset: Many advisors struggle because their training geared them toward production… not strategic leadership. Taking ownership of vision and operations is non-negotiable to scale. • Hiring for Complementarity, Not Cloning: Teams built by copying the founder seldom break through growth ceilings; complementary talent unlocks meaningfully different outcomes. • Culture as Talent Magnet: At Triad, culture is both a strategic asset and a retention tool. Talent stays where purpose and community thrive. • "Do Business. Do Life." Isn't a Slogan, It's a Strategy: Integrating business ambitions with personal life reduces burnout and enhances clarity about what success truly means. • Time Can't Be Bought Back: Wealth accumulation loses value without intentional life design; success tastes hollow when advisors trade years for dollars. • Emotional Mastery as Competitive Edge: Leadership requires calmness under pressure. Brad doesn't shy away from tough truths: therapy, self-work, and emotional regulation are leadership tools, not vulnerabilities. • Wealth Doesn't Guarantee Happiness: High revenue doesn't equal fulfillment. Many successful advisors quietly struggle. Awareness and growth practices make the difference. • Community and Growth Go Hand in Hand: Triad's experiences and shared member network create accountability and collective momentum for advisors scaling with purpose. • Practical Advice for Aspiring Founders: Build vision early, define personal and business priorities, and evaluate success on both professional and personal axes. #FinancialAdvisor #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #WealthManagement #BusinessCulture #RIA #PersonalGrowth #AdvisorLeadership #CEO #TriadPartners #DBDL #PracticeManagement #LifeIntegration #EmotionalStability Connect with Brad Johnson: Website: bradleyjohnson.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradjohnsondbdl   --- About the Model FA Podcast The Model FA podcast is a show for fiduciary financial advisors.

It was meant to be a shortcast but Rusty’s convo with AFL Hall of Famer Brad Johnson runs over 30 minutes and it’s a beauty! How the Bulldogs legend and his family have taken to motorsport as son Jack pursues a professional career behind the wheel. What it was like riding alongside his son in the Soutar Motorsport McLaren Artura GT4 at Phillip Island. The impression Jack made at the opening round of the series and the work they have put into an expensive sport as a family. Are there learnings from Brad’s time as a professional athlete? The commitment, the discipline he showed on the way to becoming a Bulldog’s games record holder and how it might apply to Jack. The little bits of sage advice from an Indycar star. And walking that tight rope of helping to guide your son to avoid the pitfalls while giving them freedom to grow and learn.Plus the Johnson love for F1 and where Jack would like to end up racing.The next stop for Jack is at the Bend in South Australia in early May. You can find out more here https://www.speedseries.com.au/Special thanks to the Shannon’s Speed Series team and the Fox Sports AFL 360 show for allowing us to use a slice of a cool story as Jack took Brad for a hotlap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Changes in our climate are forcing many communities to grapple with the possibility of uprooting and relocating. How exactly are communities able to manage governance issues such moves entail? On this episode, we talk with Christopher Galik of North Carolina State University about his work with co-author Brad Johnson to answer that question. 

Dr. Brad Johnson, president of College of the Ozarks, shares how the school's distinctive work college model shapes students academically, spiritually, and personally. Known by many as “Hard Work U,” the college requires every student to work as part of their education, helping them graduate debt free while building character, responsibility, and a biblical understanding of work. This conversation explores the dignity of work and how Christian higher education can form students for lives of leadership, citizenship, and faithful service.

If you're the only advisor in your firm who can close deals, you don't own a business, you own a job.And I see this happen all the time. Advisors think growth comes from more appointments and closing more deals. So they grind harder. They sell more. Their calendar is always full. But the moment they step away, revenue slows down. That's not scale. That's dependency.I break down the real shift you have to make: stop selling products and start selling a proprietary process. Because products can be shopped, a process can't. And if you stay in the product game, you're just another commodity.If you want revenue that doesn't go on vacation when you do, this is where the shift begins.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) Products Can Be Shopped. A Process Cannot.If you're selling annuities, asset management, or life insurance, you're in a comparison game. When you package and own a proprietary process, you step out of commoditization and into differentiation.#2 .)Sales Is a Transfer of BeliefThe best advisors aren't pitching spreadsheets. They're transferring belief in why they exist, how they serve, and why it matters. If you don't believe it deeply, your prospects won't either.#3. )You Can't Scale What You Can't TransferIf your process lives in your head and depends on your personality, you don't have a business, you have a bottleneck. A duplicatable, trainable sales process is what makes a firm scalable and ultimately sellable.Triad Sales LabStill the only one closing deals in your firm?

Building wealth through mobile home park investing is much less about timing the market or finding the “perfect” deal and far more about operating with precision, discipline, and a long-term vision. Too often, solid acquisitions are undermined by a series of avoidable missteps, not because the opportunity was flawed, but because operations were. Few understand this better than Brad Johnson, co-founder of Vintage Capital, who has closed more than $3 billion in acquisitions to date. Across 20-plus years of commercial real estate investing experience, Brad has had to wear several hats. Today, he primarily focuses on curating portfolios of cash-flowing assets and compounding investor capital, but he's also been a hands-on operator. In this episode, he shares insights on creating systems from the ground up, building a 30-person property management team, and working tirelessly to improve net operating income (NOI). For those who can master operations (or partner with reliable operators), Brad believes there will always be money to be made in mobile home parks. With artificial intelligence disrupting the job market and the affordable housing crisis continuing to affect millions of Americans, it remains perhaps the “most exciting” asset class, not just over the next few years but for decades to come. Insights from today's episode: The number one reason why mobile home park investments fail Small, silent “killers” that erode a mobile home park's cash flow Operational insights on building out a large property management team Why the mobile home park industry has been slow to “consolidate” Why mobile home parks are the “most exciting” commercial asset right now Checks and balances that prevent you from overpaying for park deals — Connect with Brad on LinkedIn Invest with Brad and Vintage Capital Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Inner Earth beings, whose civilizations date back millions of years, have taking a greater hands-on role in influencing surface human affairs, according to psychic communicator, Brad Johnson. He says the Inner Earthers are working with cooperative humans to give stark messages to the planet's power elite to change their corrupt ways or face elimination. The Inner Earthers are also working with extraterrestrial visitors to share advanced technologies and promote disclosure. Johnson says that the way advanced technologies is being shared and released is for scientists to receive blueprints which helps them build the technologies from scratch, rather being given the complete technologies for public release.

I've been working with advisors for many years, and I've seen this pattern play out over and over again. Advisors get to a point where their marketing and selling are on point, but as they start to scale, that growth has a way of exposing cracks in the foundation.In this episode, I'm breaking down the most overlooked role inside growing advisory firms: operations. I'll explain why most advisors procrastinate on developing their ops department, how the best operations leaders evolve as you scale, and why doing more of what worked early on as a small team eventually stops working.If you've ever left the office at the end of the day thinking, " Why does this business feel like a prison,” this episode will give you the framework to step out of the chaos, create leverage, and build a firm that fulfills the promises you make—without having everything in the business flow across your desk.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) Operations Is the Missing Role in Most Growing FirmsMost advisors don't hit a growth ceiling because of marketing or sales. They stall because the execution of their operations stops working. Without a clear operations leader, the founder becomes the bottleneck and the team gets stuck.#2.) Ops Is Not a Side Project—It Evolves as You ScaleWhat worked as a team of five eventually breaks at fifteen, forty, or seventy-five. Your operations must evolve from task-based delegation into true responsibility, structure, and division leadership as firms grow.#3.) Great Operations Drive Referrals Better Than Any SystemThe most referral-rich firms don't rely on scripts or programs. They remove friction, create remarkable client experiences, and let execution do the selling.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/156FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

How Utilities Are Changing While Keeping The Lights On – Nicole Pearson & Brad Johnson of Bentley Systems   "The really great thing about electric utilities is that they maintain a singular focus almost regardless of what's going on around them. It's safety, reliability, resilience. So they'll adapt and flex…They're not going to take a risk that sacrifices safety, that sacrifices your light coming on….The difference now that I've noticed is their willingness to move forward with technology and change decades, long processes and workflows and legacy built systems……. because they see how they can still maintain and maintain more efficiently, safety, reliability, resiliency." Nicole Pearson on Electric Ladies Podcast   Utilities are being transformed even as they keep the lights on. They have to become more resilient to the effects of climate changes and be responsive to new energy sources and technologies and even invent new business models while also regulated – all without dropping a moment of power.  How? Listen to Nicole Pearson, Director of Marketing for Energy and Brad Johnson, Industry head of Energy Systems at Bentley Systems in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. It was recorded live at the Bentley Systems "Year in Infrastructure" 2025 conference. You'll hear about: ●        How utilities have evolved and are evolving without risking service, safety, reliability and under the regulatory microscope. ●        How Bentley Systems' software is reducing risk and increasing resilience of utilities. ●        How utilities are leveraging A.I. while monitoring for cyberattacks and hallucinations to keep systems, workers and consumers safe. ●        Utilities have to plan decades ahead, even 30+ years ahead, yet technologies evolve so fast. How can they plan that far ahead? ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "The first one is own it. Own it. What is it? Your career. And when I say own it, I'm constantly, even today having meetings with people that I don't know, requesting mentorship, reaching out through LinkedIn, going to events. I try to stay very connected and not just people in my close industry or even work type …Every single person you meet is a connection and could have an impact on your life and vice versa….When you meet somebody, keep the conversation going. …So one day if they need something or you need something, you have a connection….My second piece of advice is… you should always have a list of things that you want to accomplish, that you want to put on your résumé. And regardless of what's going on around you in your job, focus on those things."

I've worked with hundreds of top financial advisors over the years, and I keep seeing the same problem show up in different ways: incredibly talented advisors with empty calendars.The issue usually isn't effort. It's how marketing decisions are made. Too often, advisors run their marketing on emotion instead of math. In this episode, I break down the exact marketing framework I've shared with some of the fastest-growing firms in the country. We walk through how to evaluate marketing like an investment, not an expense. Why ROI and high frequency matters. And how shifting from one-to-one to one-to-many marketing creates leverage that allows you to scale beyond yourself.If you want a calendar that stays full without grinding harder, this episode gives you the mental model to build it intentionally—and scale it sustainably.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) Marketing Must Be Driven by Math, Not EmotionAdvisors often abandon proven strategies after one bad experience. When you understand the true numbers behind your funnels, you stop guessing and start investing with confidence.#2.) Frequency Is Just as Important as ROIA high-ROI strategy that runs only a few times per year can't scale your business alone. The best growth comes from balancing return and how often you can turn the volume up.#3.) One-to-Many Is the Ultimate Growth LeverThe most scalable advisory firms don't rely on one-to-one outreach. They use seminars, events, and content to serve many people at once—without sacrificing quality.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/155FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

When clients feel understood, everything gets easier. When they don't, even the best advice falls flat. In this solo episode, I break down three lessons we can borrow from good doctors that make a huge difference in your meetings as an advisor.Just like in medicine, the best advisors don't rush to solutions. They slow down, ask better questions, and explain things in a way people can actually follow. I'll walk through why diagnosing before you prescribe matters, how your “bedside manner” shows up in financial conversations, and why a real plan is something you build with clients over time—not something you hand them once and hope for the best.If you've ever left a meeting thinking, “I know I gave them good advice, so why didn't it land?” these three simple ideas will help you connect better, simplify your process, and create a better experience for every person you serve.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…1.) Diagnose Before You PrescribeClients don't want another advisor pushing their “favorite product.” They want someone who seeks to understand—who asks layered questions, listens deeply, and helps both spouses feel heard. This is the foundation of trust and the secret behind higher conversions.2.) Simplify the Complex with Better Bedside MannerPlanning jargon and 80-page printouts don't impress clients—they overwhelm them. The advisors who win are the ones who translate complexity into simple, relatable frameworks and make clients feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.3.) Build a Planning Journey, Not a One-Time PlanDelivering a plan is not the finish line, it's the starting line. When you walk clients through decisions one step at a time and commit to ongoing planning, you avoid overwhelm, deepen your relationship, and increase lifetime value.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/150FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.
