Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
Every advisor is looking back at the year — what worked, what didn't, and what's worth carrying into 2026. So I pulled the analytics, reviewed the conversations, and rounded up the five moments that advisors like you rewatched the most.Each clip reveals something different: how to build real structure inside your firm, how to scale yourself out of the bottleneck, how to create a compelling workshop experience, how to master your message, and how elite performers think about growth.If you want a quick way to reset your focus, sharpen how you lead, and build more freedom into your business next year, this episode will give you the clearest lessons from across the show in 2025. These are the ideas advisors trusted the most — and they can help you tighten your model, strengthen your team, and build a business that runs without burning you out.3 of the biggest insights from the episode…1.) Structure Is a Growth Multiplier, Not a Corporate ExerciseYour business can only scale as quickly as your structure allows. Ladders, levels, delegated authority, and consistent titles aren't bureaucracy — they're clarity. And clarity is what frees a founder from becoming the bottleneck.2.) You Can Duplicate Yourself Faster Than You ThinkWhether it's sales or marketing, the advisors who scale the fastest stop relying on personality and start relying on process. When you systematize your approach, you unlock the ability to build a team that produces without you.3.) Mastery Comes from Focus, Not Doing MoreJordan. Kobe. Elite advisors. The common thread? They ignore the noise and obsess over the few skills that drive 80–90% of results. Growth isn't adding more, it's deleting what no longer serves the next level.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/147FOLLOW 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.

"If you see something, do something." In one of the most powerful and heartfelt conversations we’ve ever shared on The Howie Games, AFL great and friend Brad Johnson opens up about his recent battle with cancer, not for sympathy, but in the hope that his story can help others navigate their own tough moments, or support loved ones walking that path. Johno is one of those rare people who genuinely lifts the room the moment he walks in. His energy, his warmth, his positivity are all infectious. But this year, he was forced into a fight he never saw coming. For the first time - with the aim of helping others - he speaks openly about the fear, the uncertainty and the lessons learned along the way. And he offers three simple but vital guiding principles that carried him through. This is a conversation about vulnerability and strength… and about the power of positivity in the face of adversity. Whether you or someone you love is facing a health battle, or you simply need a reminder of what really matters, this special episode with Brad Johnson is one you won’t forget.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unsure about your niche... what it is or if you should switch it? That's exactly what we're getting into today. Your niche is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, and it's the most misunderstood. Your niche isn't about looking through your strengths and areas of expertise and having to choose one with a Sophie's-Choice-like decision. That is NOT going to work, because a niche is actually one that leverages all of you. A niche is just an easier-to-digest word for brand positioning. It's the unique space you own in the market and in your ideal clients' minds. It defines who you help and the problem, and then connects those dots to you and the unique value of your consulting or coaching. And it's incredibly important, as it is the foundation for standing out in our crowded marketplace, which seems to get even more crowded with every layoff in these challenging times! The question becomes whether you should keep doing what you have been doing, stay on the path you have been on for a bit, or move on to something different. That's why I invited Brad Johnson onto the show. He is an executive performance coach and was in that very spot where he wanted to shift his focus. For the past few months, we have been trying to figure out where and how to focus his very unique combination of strengths, education, and personal story. If you're where Brad was, knowing you have something powerful to offer but struggle with your niche and want to get out of the back and forth that's happening in your mind, this is the episode for you. In This Episode, We Discuss What a niche really is and why most people define it wrong How to know when it's time to pivot or refine your niche The fears that come up around narrowing your focus (and why they're normal) The breakthrough moment that helped Brad land absolute clarity How niche clarity instantly improves networking, messaging, and sales conversations Where To Dive In (00:01) Discovering Your Niche(03:40) Career Evolution and Coaching Transition(11:28) Defining Your Coaching Niche(24:16) Identifying Ideal Client Breakthrough(28:13) Maximizing Business Performance Through Science(37:21) Client Discovery and Ideal Connections(43:45) Strategic Coaching Differentiation and Framing(55:12) Navigating Customized Coaching Solutions Next Steps Reflect on Your Own Niche Clarity Take 5 minutes to notice where your positioning feels foggy, confusing, or too broad. Awareness is the first step toward real clarity. Identify the Patterns in Your Best Clients Think about the clients you love working with — the ones who energize you and get the best results. Write down the common traits they share. Assess Where You Might Be the Bottleneck If your brand, message, or niche feels all over the place, ask yourself: “Am I avoiding narrowing down because it feels risky?” Get Support Instead of Spinning Your Wheels You don't need to figure this out alone.

Brad Johnson, co-founder of Vintage Capital and host of The Alternative Investor podcast, left traditional real estate to focus on mobile home parks, a niche that has brought him over $3.3 billion in closed deals. His approach centers on creating recession-resilient, tax-efficient investments that also add value to communities through affordable housing. By bringing professional management and capital to underperforming properties, Brad helps improve neighborhoods while generating consistent returns for investors. His experience highlights the importance of understanding supply and demand, managing risk, and focusing on stable, long-term growth rather than short-term speculation. https://youtu.be/R0k1scFxAuI In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Brad shares the principles that drive his success in real estate and business. He explains how to identify the right markets, avoid red flags such as flood zones and volatile economies, and invest with a focus on downside protection. Brad also talks about lessons from his own setbacks, the importance of diversification, and how calculated risk-taking leads to lasting success. He emphasizes focus, endurance, and reverse-engineering your goals to design a life and career that compound in value over time. Quotes: “Not taking any risk is actually a giant risk, because you can live a very mediocre life if you don't take any risk.” “We focus on not making mistakes, because the upside in this space takes care of itself.” “If you feel about 70% ready, that's usually the time to move forward. Waiting for perfection slows you down.” “Focus and endurance win over time. The longer you can stay in the game, the more powerful compounding becomes.” Resources: Visit Brad Johnson's Website Connect with Brad Johnson on LinkedIn

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
Are you struggling to attract and close more high-net-worth clients?What if the reason has nothing to do with your financial plans and everything to do with your office design?In this solo episode, I share one of the most surprising lessons I've learned in 20+ years of coaching advisors: the design and intention behind your office directly impacts the clients you attract and the culture you create.Your office is more than a workspace. It's a physical reflection of your values, beliefs, and the experience you promise to your clients. I'll show you how thoughtful design can elevate your credibility, boost team culture, and transform how prospects perceive your brand.I'll also walk you through the three lessons that shaped Triad's new headquarters, so you can apply the same principles to your own firm and start attracting higher-net-worth clients while building a culture your team loves coming to every day.3 of the biggest insights from Brad…#1.) Celebrate What Matters in Business and LifeMost advisors design an office that looks good on paper, but doesn't feel like them. In this episode, I share how to build a space that actually tells your story. From our Do Business, Do Life wall filled with team goals to the way you showcase client experiences instead of sales awards, I'll show you how to create an environment that instantly connects and builds trust with million-dollar clients.#2.). Speak Things Into Existence That MatterAt Triad, we believe language creates culture. So when we built our new office, we wanted our walls to literally speak our values. Instead of labeling rooms A, B, and C, we named them after the beliefs we live by—like the “Significance Suite” and the “Day One Café.” We even have an “Empty Chair” in every conference room to represent our members, reminding us to always build on their behalf. It's a simple way to make sure what we say we believe shows up in how we work every day.#3.) Create a Collision-Friendly EnvironmentWe fixed one of the biggest mistakes from our first office—silos. In our new space, we built what I call a “hub-and-spoke” design that sparks connection. The hub is where ideas collide—coffee stations, couches, even a kegerator—and the spokes are where deep work happens. I'll share how this setup boosted creativity, broke down barriers, and created a vibe that everyone—from team members to visiting advisors—can feel the moment they walk in.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/143FOLLOW 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.

Deep State control over humanity is undergoing an accelerating collapse that will lead to global revolution in 2026 according to Brad Johnson, a popular psychic communicator. He has learned from a variety of non-human intelligences how Deep State efforts to control humanity have been systematically undermined by a host of benevolent off-world actors who are assisting the evolution of humanity from behind the scenes. Deep State factions are now fighting against each other for the limited resources available to them after the interventions of these benevolent non-human intelligences, who are also behind the recent incursion of 3I/Atlas into our solar system which is impacting Earth and Mars in profound ways. Many secrets concerning humanity's true history, the existence of Inner Earth civilizations, giants, and suppressed technologies that will soon be revealed according to Johnson. While there will be increasing disclosures concerning the existence of extraterrestrial life, open contact with alien landings may still take more than a decade to happen (up to 2038). In August 2008, Brad Johnson first began communicating with a Sirian extraterrestrial entity called “Adronis” and has since communicated with other non-human entities, including “Athena” from the Inner Earth and the “Consortium of Infinite Intelligence.” He employs a range of psychic tools to enhance his communication, while ensuring that no deceptive entities compromise his efforts, a common issue among many inexperienced channelers. Johnson has a track record in sharing accurate predictions about future events and is the founder of “Wisdom Nexus” a popular YouTube channel and the “Earth Intelligence Report.”Brad Johnson's website is: https://www.wisdomtransmissions.comHis Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWisdomNexusNetworkJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/
As investors seek alternatives to the stock market, as ETFs make it harder to outpace the market, as awareness for private investments increases, allocations are increasing to non-traditional assets. Over the past decade, and even more so recently, investors have invested more money into privately held Real Estate, Private Credit, and Private Equity. With the right investment strategies, these vehicles offer predictable cash flow with conservative risk. Brad Johnson, Founder and Managing Partner of Evergreen Capital, helps clients preserve and grow capital by investing in proven, cash-flowing alternative investments.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
Live from Future Proof, I sat down with my friend Dr. Daniel Crosby to talk about the psychology behind the fastest-growing advisors in our industry.Daniel had spent time with a number of Triad members who were doubling, tripling, even quadrupling their firms — and he wanted to understand what was driving that kind of growth. What he found wasn't a secret tactic or marketing hack. It was mindset.In this conversation, we get into what separates advisors who stay stuck from those building thriving, high-growth firms built on belief, culture, and intention. We talk about how mindset drives growth, how language creates culture, and what it really takes to go from being a great advisor to being a great CEO.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson & Daniel Crosby…#1.) Growth Starts with Mindset, Not MarketingI see a lot of advisors use the term “lifestyle practice” as a way to justify staying small. The truth is, that mindset keeps you stuck. If you want to attract top talent and grow something meaningful, you've got to think more like a professional sports team—always recruiting, always building, always chasing the next level.#2.) What Culture Really Means (And How to Build It)Everyone talks about culture, but few people actually define it. To me, real culture lives at the intersection of growth and belief. It's not top-down—it's built through shared language, lived values, and the behavior you model every day. You can't just write it on the wall; you've got to be it.#3.) The Path from Advisor to CEOIf you want to scale beyond yourself, you've got to evolve how you think and lead. I walk through the four stages every advisor goes through—from “advisor in charge” to true CEO—and how each stage requires more structure, more delegation, and a team that's empowered to think, not just execute.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/139FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW 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.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today we are joined by Brad Johnson, Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Vintage Capital. Brad shares how mobile home park investing is quietly outperforming traditional real estate. He breaks down why this niche is attracting serious investors, the powerful tax advantages that come with it, and how it helps solve America's growing affordable housing problem all while delivering steady, long-term returns. In this episode, we chat about… Brad's journey from small rental properties to managing $3B+ in real estate deals Why mobile home parks deliver high yield and low default rates The five classes of mobile home parks and where the best opportunities are How bonus depreciation and cost segregation boost investor returns Smart due diligence tips when buying mobile home parks Why Brad shifted from operator to allocator and what that means for investors How investing in affordable housing creates both profit and purpose Key Takeaways: Mobile home parks are an underrated, recession-resistant real estate play. The stigma keeps competition low and returns strong. Tax incentives can offset a major portion of taxable income. Long-term ownership builds wealth faster than quick flips.

Brad Johnson is the Senior Regenerative Agriculture Advisor for The Nature Conservancy, where he helps farmers across Idaho and beyond explore new ways of working the land that build healthier soils, stronger operations, and more resilient communities. Brad's path into this work is deeply personal—he grew up on a multi-generational farm in northern Idaho, where as a teenager he saw firsthand how no-till practices could dramatically reduce erosion on the steep, fertile hills of his family's farm. That early “aha moment” set him on a winding path through farming, ranching, research, and even a stint in agricultural sales, before eventually joining TNC in 2019. In this conversation, Brad and I dig into the practical realities of regenerative agriculture—what it looks like on the ground, why it's both promising and challenging to scale, and how trust and relationships are every bit as important as science and technology. He shares stories from TNC's demonstration farms, where producers are experimenting with new biological practices that reduce reliance on fungicides and pesticides, and from high school programs where the next generation of Idaho farmers are already putting regenerative methods into practice. Brad's perspective is grounded in lived experience and a genuine respect for the farmers he works with. Whether you're deep in the ag world or simply curious about how food systems can adapt to a changing climate, this episode offers a clear, hopeful look at what's possible when conservation and agriculture work hand in hand. --- Brad Johnson Regenerative Farming at TNC Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/brad-johnson/ --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy and TNC chapters throughout the Western United States.

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Brad Johnson to discuss the realities of mobile home park investing. Brad shares how he first tried managing parks from 2,000 miles away, only to realize the inefficiencies of remote operations. Today, he focuses on providing capital to local operators with the infrastructure and systems needed to manage these communities effectively. Mobile home parks are an operationally intensive asset class, essentially functioning like small cities for 100+ families. Success requires strong teams, reliable rent collection, and well-built systems to manage expenses and infrastructure. Brad emphasizes the importance of investing with experienced operators who understand how to grow NOI and sustain communities—rather than newcomers chasing an idea without a plan.

Brad Johnson is the Co-founder of Triad Partners, an organization that helps financial advisors grow their businesses. Before co-founding Triad, Brad spent 13 years at Advisors Excel as a VP of Advisor Development, coaching top financial advisors who managed over $1.5 billion in assets. Brad is also the host of the podcast, Do Business. Do Life, where he interviews thought leaders and helps financial advisors integrate their work and personal lives. Raised on a farm in Kansas, Brad's personal interests include CrossFit, bass fishing, collecting red wine, and supporting children's charities. In this episode we discuss the following: I love the Stoic lesson Brad shared about the prized cup. If we expect our prized cup to never break, we'll be devastated when it does. But if we've already been through the mental exercise of the cup breaking, it can be much easier to stay calm and confident when our prized cups do break. Being an entrepreneur is constantly dealing with broken, prized cups. I loved hearing how Brad tries to apply Jocko's advice for dealing with setbacks by responding with a simple “Good.” Brad's emphasis on seeking out mindset coaching stood out. The best athletes get the most coaching. So it makes sense that we too need regular feedback and mindset coaching to reach our potential. By jumping into the trench himself, Brad is giving himself more opportunities to deal with broken cups. And I love his advice for how we can deal with the broken cups in our lives.

President Trump got the redistricting maps he wanted from Texas, but it may come with a big political price tag. The Democratic Party, so fractured after the 2024 campaigns, suddenly found a rallying issue that washed away many of its own internal divisions - at least temporarily. Brad Johnson of The Texan and Kat Vargas of Howdy Politics join host Jeremy Wallace to break it all down. Plus, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called out Gov. Greg Abbott again for his stance against banning all THC products in Texas, further muddying what the Legislature will do in the closing days of the special session of the Legislature. And finally, Texas House Democratic Leader Gene Wu joins the show for a deep dive on how his recent national media attention has helped illustrate how he's had to navigate racism and generational norms in the Asian-American community.

What if the #1 reason you feel burned out is because you're unknowingly doing three completely different jobs?In this solo episode, I break down the Triad Advisor Model—the exact system top firms are using to scale without sacrificing freedom. You'll see why trying to run your practice alone is like running a Chick-fil-A by yourself—taking orders at the register, cooking the food in the back, and delivering it to the table—and how to replace that chaos with a clear, scalable system that frees you up to grow.Most advisors try to grow by doing more, but that path leads to burnout and stalled revenue. Instead, I'll show you how to divide the advisor role into three specialized positions—selling, planning, and service—so you can build a business that grows beyond you.You'll learn how to hire the right people for each role, compensate them for long-term success, and create a repeatable “advisor pod” system you can scale like clockwork.4 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) The 3 Roles That End Advisor Burnout How a Chick-fil-A-style model splits the advisor job into selling, planning, and service—so you stop doing everything yourself and start scaling with ease. #2.) The Process to Hire, Train, and Scale on Repeat A step-by-step system to find the right people, develop their skills, and build “advisor pods” you can copy and paste as your firm grows. #3.) The Personalities That Thrive in Each Role Why matching natural strengths to each advisor seat is the key to efficiency, retention, and a better client experience. #4.) How to Grow New Advisors Without Risking Big Prospects From “never leave an empty seat” to the “reverse shotgun” approach, discover how to groom future selling advisors without putting your top clients on the line.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/130FOLLOW 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.

Why do most financial advisors keep hiring the wrong people, despite their best efforts?After 20 years in this industry, I can tell you it's one of the biggest challenges advisors face: finding and keeping the right talent. And if you've ever felt like you're stuck with the wrong team, constantly putting out fires, or doing everything yourself… you're not alone.In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 biggest hiring mistakes that prevent advisors from building a team that scales with them—and how to fix each one. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the exact systems we use at Triad to attract top talent, avoid burnout, and buy back your time.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…1.) Mistake #1 – No Roadmap, No VisionMost advisors try to scale without an org chart, a long-term vision, or a clear team structure. Brad explains why that creates chaos—and how future-casting your growth forces better hiring decisions today.2.) Mistake #2 – You're Using Names, Not RolesIf you're still asking “What should Joe do?” instead of “What role do we need filled?”—you're already behind. This mindset leads to burnout, bottlenecks, and a team full of generalists. Brad breaks down how to flip this, so you're not stuck putting out fires every day. 3.) Mistake #3 – No Clear or Repeatable Hiring ProcessBrad shares Triad's exact step-by-step hiring process—from screening for culture and skillset to a final gut-check interview with trusted team members.
