Send us a textOn this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Bryan Jepson, Author, Financial Advisor and Emergency Medicine Physician about changing the way we think about special needs planning.In this episode we discussed:How a Chartered Special Needs Consultant can help clients who have family members with special needs. How an ABLE Account can help with Special Needs Planning. Financial planning is not just about picking investments.The true value of money is that it helps you buy back your time. If you're truly wealthy, you work because you want to, not because you have to. Your assets work for you, not you for them.Look for opportunities, look for skills and be curious.Connect with Bryan Jepson MD, MSF, ChSNC, CFP:LinkedInFacebookXTargeted Wealth SolutionsPhysician Finance Academy (Website) (YouTube)Books:The Physician's Path to True Wealth: 12 steps to gaining control over your money and your time The Record PlayerChanging the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians by Bryan Jepson and Jane JohnsonBio: Dr. Bryan Jepson graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine, completed a residency in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is a board certified emergency medicine physician with 30 years of clinical experience.  More recently, he completed a masters degree in finance and risk management at the University of Colorado-Denver and the Certified Financial Planner education through the Boston Institute of Finance at Bryant University.  In addition to the CFP credentials, he holds the Chartered Special Needs Planner certification from the American College of Financial Services.  Bryan's interest in  finance stemmed from a long history of self-study and personal investing.  After a long and successful career in medicine, he decided to explore this interest further as an  "encore" career in financial planning and works for Targeted Wealth Solutions, an independent RIA with a focus on health care providers.  His interest in special needs planning comes from his personal experience as the father of two sons with autism. Bryan spent a portion of his medical career  treating children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders and is the author of a book called "Changing the Course of Autism" that was published in 2006.  Now, as a financial planner, Bryan  focuses part of his time serving the special needs community by helping families navigate the financial nuances of caring for adult children with disabilities for their lifetimes. Bryan is motivated to improve general financial education for others, particularly physicians.  He has created a series of free youtube videos on important financial principles that you can find on his website, The Physician Finance Academy (www.physicianfinanceacademy.com).Support the showThe Get Ready Money Podcast and its guests do not provide investment advice.

John Panaccione, CEO and Co-Founder of Folla Capital, is on a mission to change that. In today's episode, John explained how his experience as a veteran has shaped his passion for helping others in the veteran and minority business communities succeed.“I've had to live through running a business, owning a business, and raising capital,” John said. “I felt firsthand some of the challenges that we have there, but now, doing what I do, I just love helping fellow veterans and women- or minority-owned businesses deal with some of the unique challenges that we need to face.”Folla Capital, where John serves as CEO, is a registered broker-dealer that supports clients in conducting regulation crowdfunding offerings. Their goal is to make financing more accessible for underserved communities. By leveraging tools like Reg CF and Reg D exemptions, John and his team help entrepreneurs overcome the systemic barriers that have historically excluded them from funding opportunities.John shared several success stories from his work, including one about helping a veteran-owned software company called Oplign. The business, which helps veterans translate their military experience into civilian qualifications, raised nearly $700,000 through a Reg CF campaign. John reflected on the pride he feels when clients succeed. “There's nothing better than when somebody calls me and says, ‘Hey, two years ago you helped me, and now we're killing it.' That's the biggest reward I experience.”John's work is more than just helping companies raise money—it's about building communities. Highlighting the importance of both geographic and demographic connections, he explained how Folla Capital fosters networks that empower entrepreneurs. “Crowdfunding is wonderful,” he said, “but at the end of the day, a lot of the money ends up coming from people that have some connection with the management team.”Through Folla Capital, John is leveling the playing field for veterans and other underrepresented entrepreneurs. His work proves that with the right tools and support, these communities can thrive, creating not just businesses but stronger, more inclusive communities.If you're inspired by John's mission, stay tuned for more insights later in the episode about his superpower and how he uses it to empower others.tl;dr:John Panaccione discussed the challenges veterans and minority entrepreneurs face when raising capital.Folla Capital helps entrepreneurs succeed using tools like Reg CF and Reg D exemptions.Success stories highlight the importance of building both geographic and demographic communities.John's superpower is leveling the playing field by teaching the rules entrepreneurs need to know.Entrepreneurs can achieve success by exceeding standards, building networks, and fostering resilience.How to Develop Leveling the Playing Field As a SuperpowerJohn's superpower is “leveling the playing field.” He explained, “I've learned that most people that have goals are leaders. If they know the rules, they can compete.” John prides himself on being a teacher who ensures that entrepreneurs understand the standards and rules of raising capital, empowering them to create their own success. He emphasized, “We don't want to be the smart people with all the answers. We like to pride ourselves on being teachers.”Illustrative Story:One of John's proudest success stories involves helping a group of veterans open an indoor skydiving iFly facility in Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite skepticism and challenges, the team raised $1 million via a Reg CF campaign to unlock a $12 million financing package. This funding transformed an empty lot into a thriving business, showcasing how understanding the rules and applying them effectively can bring ambitious projects to life.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Learn the Rules: Familiarize yourself with the standards and regulations in your field.Aim Higher Than the Standard: Strive to exceed the minimum requirements for quality and preparation.Teach Others: Share your knowledge to empower others, rather than positioning yourself as the “expert.”Build Community: Leverage both geographic and demographic networks to support your goals.Practice Resilience: Don't be discouraged by skepticism—focus on proving doubters wrong through action.By following John's example and advice, you can make leveling the playing field a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

At 13, Basketball was life for Chris Cole, and he was good. How good? Cole was one of the best point guards on the planet in his age group. Then Cole's dad - a drill Sargent in the Army, the man responsible for Cole's morals and work ethic, and above all, Cole's best friend - died of cancer, and everything came crashing down. A highly touted point guard with a spot on the roster at one of the top prep school's in the country, Cole struggled for years to pick up the pieces after his dad's death. Filled with a quiet anger inside, Cole quit the game for a year and gained 100 pounds, before finally falling back in love with it. After losing the weight, Cole earned a Division I college scholarship, only to have his career end prematurely due to a life threatening illness. After a long recovery, Cole found himself homeless without a degree. Amazingly, he picked up the pieces, earned a degree, and reconnect with hoops as a trainer and then coach. Now the associate head coach at Bryant University, Cole sat down with the LIT crew to talk about life, loss, picking up the pieces again, and the game of basketball. This is his amazing story.

In this insightful episode of the PREP Athletics Podcast, we sit down with Jared Grasso, head coach at the Knox School on Long Island. Coach Grasso shares his journey from Division I point guard to becoming one of the youngest head coaches at Bryant University, where he tripled their win total in his first year. Now at Knox School, he's building what promises to be a national powerhouse program, already boasting a 31-5 record in just his first year.We dive deep into Jared's innovative recruiting strategies during his college coaching days, his philosophy on player development, and his vision for Knox School. As someone who coached at the Division I level for 21 years, Jared offers invaluable perspective on what it takes to succeed at higher levels and how prep school can be the perfect bridge for developing players.

Dedicated and high-performing Executive Coach and former Vice President of Coaching at New Level Work, Karen Benz, explores the nuances of coaching in leadership. Learn the importance of understanding what coaching is and isn't, the concept of directed coaching, and the significance of building a strong coaching community. This conversation with host Wendy Hanson highlights the transformative 'Aha' moments experienced by managers during coaching sessions, the differences between internal and external coaching, and the power of perspective in facilitating growth. The importance of feedback and the value of coaching in today's workplace is emphasized, especially in navigating challenges brought on by recent global events. Key takeaways: Coaching is about building individual leadership skills through goal setting. Directed coaching combines traditional coaching with the coach's expertise. A strong coaching community enhances the experience for both coaches and clients. Aha moments in coaching can lead to significant personal and professional growth. External coaches can provide a fresh perspective free from organizational politics. Perspective shifts can help clients see situations differently and improve their management style. Feedback is essential for growth and improvement in coaching. Coaching is an investment in personal and professional development, not a remedial action. Clients must be motivated to engage fully in the coaching process. The relationship between coach and client is crucial for effective coaching.

I'm not a financial advisor; nothing I write in Superpowers for Good should be considered investment advice. You should seek appropriate counsel before making investment decisions.Remember, you can watch the Superpowers for Good show on e360tv. To watch the episode, download the #e360tv channel app to your streaming device–Roku, AppleTV or AmazonFireTV–or your mobile device. You can even watch it on the web.Devin: What do you see now as your superpower?John: When you're working with experienced people, you know what it's like to be in the trenches trying to keep a business running and raise capital. You have this attitude of “we will find a way” that powers my superpower if I have one.Folla Capital CEO John Panaccione speaks in a matter-of-fact manner that makes his unusual wisdom and insight seem banal. It's not. Trust me. He gets things others miss; you'll want to tune in to understand what he's sharing.“We're an investment banking firm,” John says as he begins introducing his firm. “We help small businesses and entrepreneurs think through capital strategies; if and when they need to raise capital, we help them do that. We focus on minorities, women and veterans.” John served as an Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division in the first Gulf War. “Because of my background, we've served a lot of veterans,” he says.  “But we're not exclusive to those three groups.”Folla Capital helps small businesses raise capital at a meaningful scale, typically over $1 million. FINRA and the SEC authorize the firm to conduct offerings under six different exemptions from registration, including Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A+, offerings open to everyone. The firm often helps clients raise under Regulation D 506(c), offering offerings open only to accredited investors. Looking at the investing landscape, John sees advantages for issuers using debt rather than equity.“We're a big believer in debt offerings for small businesses,” John says. “One of the biggest advantages of a debt offering is the investor doesn't have to wait till the company sold to get their money back.”John teased the audience with an upcoming $10 million debt round for a small business in Virginia that is building a manufacturing facility.Folla Capital is currently supporting veteran Marines with a raise for Rally Point Grill. The eight-year-old restaurant business is working to create a successful franchise model to facilitate expansion. The restaurants feature genuine artifacts from past service, much like a museum, to honor veterans in the local community around the restaurant. The $1.2 million revenue-sharing offering is open to accredited investors.John uses his superpower, a combination of experience and a can-do attitude, to grow his business and help clients.AI Episode Summary1. Devin Thorpe hosts the Superpowers for Good Show and introduces John Panaccione, CEO and founder of Folla Capital, emphasizing John's dedication to supporting the veteran community.2. John's firm, Folla Capital, is an SEC-registered broker-dealer investment banking firm that helps small businesses and entrepreneurs develop capital strategies and facilitates capital raising, particularly focusing on minorities, women, and veterans.3. John expresses his dislike for the term "crowdfunding," preferring to describe the capital raising process as using internet technology to leverage various SEC exemptions to fund businesses.4. Folla Capital has successfully completed several capital raises using different SEC regulations, including Regulation D for accredited investors and Regulation CF (crowdfunding) for general public investment.5. John highlights an innovative debt offering through Folla Capital that enables Rally Point Grill, owned by prior-service Marines, to raise capital as if they are the bank for their franchises, allowing both investors and franchisees to benefit from the capital raised.6. Devin discusses the importance of investment crowdfunding in filling funding gaps that banks can't, highlighting the diversity of crowdfunding's role in different stages of companies' growth.7. John believes in the value of debt offerings as opposed to equity for small businesses, as it allows investors to potentially see returns without waiting for a company sale.8. An example of a complex convertible bond offering is mentioned, starting at $10 million for funding a manufacturing facility in western Virginia, with an intention to roll into a $40 million Regulation A offering down the line.9. John credits his military background with the paratroopers as a source of his 'superpower,' which he sees as the never-quit attitude and a strong focus on teamwork honed by his experiences that lead towards finding solutions during tough times.10. John emphasizes the significance of building a strong team of advisors and mentors, especially in entrepreneurship, to foster resilience and suggests that those new to business should not go it alone and instead learn from experienced individuals.How to Develop Experience and a Can-Do Attitude As a SuperpowerJohn didn't come by his superpower–the combination of experience and a can-do attitude–as a genetic trait. He earned it through two framing experiences.“I've been a small business owner and startup entrepreneur,” John says. “I've raised capital the old-fashioned way, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong over 17 years that I ran my startup and I sold it. I like to say I had to have the smile surgically removed from my face the day after I sold it.”That experience provides one-half of his superpower. The other comes from his military service.I was privileged to serve in the Army. I was privileged to serve the country. My specialty was I jumped out of airplanes. I was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and that occurred in my 20s. I was a young man then, my early 20s into my mid to late 20s is when I served there. I was around great leaders, and I learned a lot from great leaders. The top leaders in the Army lead that division because it's the first one to go to war. The culture there was unbelievable. A paratrooper typically–never–has enough resources and is always surrounded. But the culture is you're never going to lose; like there's always a way to win.So, the can-do attitude he learned in the Army pairs with his business experience to give him a superpower to support entrepreneurs.He shared a defining experience from his days as an entrepreneur:I had three banks that provided debt to my first company, a total of about a little over 1.4 million–three different loans. Then, one day, I got three letters from three banks at the same time calling their notes back. I had 30 days to find that money. I remember popping up, thinking about it long and hard. One of the things the military does is it teaches you how to make decisions under pressure. So, I figured out a way out of that–I won't bore you with the details, but I worked a deal with the bankers and my investors to get us through that. And we got through that. That's usually lights out for a company when that happens. But I figured out a third way.The story is powerful evidence of his superpower!John offers two bits of advice for developing a superpower like his.The first is resilience. “To become resilient, you have to expose yourself to danger and failure. And a lot of us don't want to do that. We have a culture where failure is bad,” he says. The reality is our challenges are our most valuable experience.Second, he says, is to remember that business is a team sport. “So, if you're new at it, I'd say quickly develop a team of advisors and mentors around you that have been down the trail before.”By following John's example and advice, you can strengthen your ability to leverage your experience and develop a can-do attitude. With practice, this could become a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
