While many financial advisory firms seek to move 'upmarket' and serve high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, these clients typically require (and often demand) a different level of service—and can benefit from a more integrated experience across legal, tax, and financial domains. For these firms, creating efficient operational systems is paramount, particularly when it comes to the processing and security of their frequent high-dollar transactions.  Stephanie Hughes is the CEO of Wiss Family Office, a multi-family office based in Florham Park, New Jersey, that oversees approximately $1 billion in AUM for 220 households. Listen in as Stephanie shares how her firm delivers a “one-stop shop” experience that reduces client stress by consolidating financial, tax, and legal services under one roof. We talk about the importance of integration and internal communication across service lines, the tools her team is building to monitor client activity and prevent fraud, and how internal workflows support the firm's high-volume, high-stakes client transactions. Stephanie also explains the value of being affiliated with a tax firm, and how that connection drives both strong referrals and immediate client trust.

“When downselling, it's really good to say, ‘Who is above me, and who is below me?' And then also find out, looking laterally, who do you compete against? Who is within a similar fee range?...Who can I refer that might fit along that axis.”In this episode, Grant Baldwin teams up with industry insider Brian Lord of Premier Speakers Bureau for a conversation about what it takes to succeed as a speaker. Brian's insight is simple: know your place in the market, nurture real relationships, and don't underestimate the power of referrals.Brian shares his “speakers matrix” concept, challenging every speaker to map out who's above, below, and alongside them in terms of fees and content. Why? Because networking up and down this axis isn't just smart, it's essential. Those connections bring in gigs you'd otherwise miss and make sure you're not flying solo in the business.Brian's biggest reminder is to not get lost in the latest trends. AI may be hot, but your authentic message and consistently fresh content are what keep you booked and relevant. And always, always deliver value offstage because event planners love a speaker who's great to work with, not just to watch.Moreover, if you're an independent speaker, these strategies matter even more. The takeaway from this episode is to focus on building your network, referring others, and adapting as the industry evolves. Impact and bookings come from meaningful relationships, not complicated tactics, because it's human connection that grows your career, one conversation and one referral at a time!You'll learn:The role of a speaker as a message bearerUnderstanding down-sells and up-sellsEffective networking and referral strategiesCreating variations of your core serviceEmotional separation from your “product”The “Free market” effect: your booking successes as feedbackHow off-stage behavior matters as much as on-stage behaviorHow to fold hot topics like AI into core expertiseAnd much, much more!“If you get the thought into your head that you are somebody who goes around helping people get better for having met you than if they hadn't, then that's your goal as a speaker.”Episode ResourcesBrian's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I speak with Jonathan Czin, the Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies and a fellow at the Brookings Institution's John L. Thornton China Center. His new essay in Foreign Affairs, “China Against China: Xi Jinping Confronts the Downsides of Success,” challenges the dominant Western narrative of Xi Jinping as either Mao reincarnate or a brittle autocrat presiding over imminent collapse. Instead, Czin argues that Xi's most illiberal reforms can be understood as attempts to cure the pathologies of China's own success. We discuss his framing of Xi's “Counterreformation,” how it helps explain China's current political direction, and what it reveals about our own analytical blind spots in the West.7:15 – Xi's “reformation” and Carl Minzner's “end of reform and opening”12:18 – Corruption, decentralization, and the “lost decade” under Hu and Wen20:12 – Defining “resilience” and what Xi means by “eating bitterness”29:45 – The “downsides of success”: property, corruption, and governance contradictions45:30 – Counter-reformation vs. counterrevolution: what Xi wants to preserve and discard54:20 – The myth of yes-men: triangulation and feedback in Xi's leadership style1:07:07 – Cognitive empathy and why most U.S. analysis of Xi falls short1:15:35 – Systems that can't course-correct: comparing the U.S. and China1:22:05 – Cognitive empathy, ideology, and the problem of American exceptionalismPaying it forward:Jonathan: Allie Mathias and Dinny McMahonRecommendations:Jonathan: The Thirty Years War by C.V.

This special wrap-up episode of Interchange Recharged takes listeners on a fast tour of the entire carbon capture value chain, from industrial emitters and LNG developers to UK transport and storage pioneers. Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez, Research Director at Wood Mackenzie, brings together three leaders shaping how CCUS moves from theory to reality.First, James Lopez, Subsurface CO₂ Storage Advisor at CEMEX, explains why cement's process emissions make it one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise and why storage certainty is now the key enabler for investment. He shares how CEMEX is identifying and evaluating CO₂ storage hubs across global sites, and why capture without a permitted storage solution is a business risk few emitters can take. “CCUS doesn't work if you only have the C,” he says, “you need the full chain.”Next, Glenn Wilson, Chief Financial Officer at Coastal Bend LNG, discusses how LNG economics and carbon capture can work hand in hand. Designed from day one as a low-carbon project, Coastal Bend LNG is integrating capture across both pre-treatment and post-combustion stages, aiming for near-zero emissions. Glenn explains how 45Q tax credits and the sale of verified environmental attributes create a dual-revenue model, and why tokenising the carbon intensity of each LNG cargo could redefine transparency in global energy trade. “We're not just reducing emissions,” he says, “we're creating a new market for verified carbon value.”Finally, Nick Terrell, Executive Director at Carbon Catalyst, joins from the UK to reveal how depleted gas fields are being repurposed into next-generation carbon storage sites. Following the country's first offshore CO₂ injection test, he shares how reusing North Sea infrastructure is cutting costs, driving bankability, and opening the door to cross-border storage for European emitters. As policy alignment grows between the UK and EU, Terrell argues that liberalisation and private capital will be the next accelerators. “Once we have more FIDs,” he says, “finance, technology, and data will do the rest.”From the cement kiln to the seabed, this episode captures the energy and optimism emerging across the CCUS ecosystem - a clear sign that carbon capture is moving from cautious planning to confident execution.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the secret to world-class quality isn't technology but pride? In this episode, Jason unpacks the Japanese concept of Monozukuri - the deep pride and craftsmanship that drives excellence in every detail of work. From the story of Japan's Seven-Minute Miracle cleaning crews to the engineering perfection of the Shinkansen bullet train, Jason reveals how love for the customer, pride in your craft, and acknowledgement of people create unstoppable performance. You'll hear: How one leader turned a team of burned-out cleaners into national heroes through Kaizen. Why “acknowledging your people” might be the single most powerful productivity tool. How friction, frustration, and lack of respect destroy craftsmanship on U.S. job sites. The simple daily practices that can reignite pride and quality in construction. And why every worker deserves to give their hands, head, and heart, not just their labor.

What if every great builder, no matter the project or material, is really doing the same three things? In this episode, Jason rides along with Iron Mark's Alex Nolan for a candid, in-the-truck conversation about the mindset that separates good builders from great ones. From carpentry apprenticeships to field engineering, from superintendents to mechanics, they trace every trade and leadership skill back to one timeless foundation - Plumb, Level, and Square. You'll hear: Why carpenters make some of the best superintendents and leaders in construction. How mastering the fundamentals translates into any career or trade. The hidden art of negotiation every great superintendent practices daily. What happens when sequence, precision, and mindset all align.

Can you build great projects without first building great people? In this powerful follow-up to Respect for People, Jason explores the heart of Lean's second pillar, Hitozukuri, the Japanese concept of “making people before making things.” Drawing from post-war Japan, the Toyota Production System, and the hard lessons of modern construction, Jason shows why the world's most successful companies  and nations invest in humans first. You'll hear: The incredible story of how post-WWII Japan rose from ashes through training, not punishment. Why the U.S. construction industry keeps repeating the same mistakes by hiring skills instead of developing people. What happens when leaders spend more time with their teams than managing over them. How DPR and Toyota embody the “build people, build things” philosophy and how you can too. The simple truth: Without training, standardization, and care, Lean collapses. If you've ever wished your crews were more capable, your leaders more confident, or your culture more united, this episode is your blueprint.

What if the problem with construction isn't your process but your culture? In this first episode of Jason's Japan Reflections & Lean Series, Jason takes you inside what he learned studying Lean culture at its source and how Japan's quiet principle of respect for people changes everything. From jet lag to cultural shock, from U.S. “just figure it out” grit to Japan's “shoulder-to-shoulder” mentorship, Jason unpacks the biggest leadership shift our industry needs. This isn't another buzzword about empathy, it's a blueprint for transforming teams, training, and trust. You'll hear: Why “Respect for People” is the beating heart of Lean. How Japanese teams train side-by-side instead of blaming mistakes. The difference between improving chaos and building standards. Why Western management still carries the scars of Frederick Taylor. And how you can start leading like Japan without ever boarding a plane. If you've ever wondered why Lean thrives in Japan but stalls elsewhere, this episode gives you the answer.

Content generation is the most overhyped AI use case in marketing. Dave Steer, CMO at Webflow, argues that marketers are focusing too narrowly on AI as a content creation tool rather than exploring its broader strategic potential. He advocates for building agentic AI workflows that orchestrate customer experiences and automate complex marketing processes. Steer emphasizes creating sophisticated automation systems where marketers become editors of AI output rather than manual content creators.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melissa Morris is the founder of Métier, an innovative luxury handbag brand well-revered for its commitment to combining fashion and function. Before starting her own luxury brand, Morris had worked in merchandising and design for some of the biggest names in luxury, including Helmut Lang, Armani, Belstaff, and LVMH. But in all her years working for brands, she noticed a lack of bags that actually served the wearer. Métier was born from Morris's vision for accessories that were both elegant and practical. She dreamed of a line that offered customers the perfect bag for any occasion with a seasonless and timeless aesthetic. Despite having never designed a handbag in her life, she used her degree in sculpture and her career in merchandising to engineer the bags of her dreams with her customers in mind.

Business managers can have the tendency to mistake documentation for discipline. Just because you have things written down, doesn't mean that you - for that matter, your team - is following the process. Founders, owners, and managers can get excited about clarity and control as they write polished SOPs, draw neat workflows, and lay out nifty diagrams. But that's the easy part. And the easy part is almost never the part that brings the results you're after. Everyone “agrees” on the defined system — and then does whatever they want. You continue trying to manage the chaos, instead of actually creating order.

Smarter, Stronger, Sharper – How to Measure and Improve Your Brain Health What if your brain had a dashboard that told you exactly how well it was performing before you hit burnout, before focus fades, and before your memory starts to slip? In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the cutting edge science that is reshaping how we understand brain health. You will discover how researchers like Dr. Evelyne Bischof, a Harvard and Columbia trained longevity physician, are using data, AI, and neuroscience to measure brain performance in real time and even predict cognitive decline before it begins. Forget the old idea that your brain is static or unchangeable. Today, science can track everything from your biological brain age to your daily cognitive resilience and even show you how small lifestyle shifts can rewire your mind for greater clarity, energy, and focus. If you have ever wondered why some people stay sharp under pressure while others burn out, or how technology is helping us see what is happening inside the brain long before symptoms appear, this episode will change how you think about mental performance and longevity. Tune in because the future of brain health is not about reacting to problems, it is about measuring, training, and optimizing the most powerful system you have. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Brain health should be treated the same way we approach physical fitness or financial well-being: measurable, trackable, and provable." "Your chronological age is what your driver's license says. Your biological brain age is how old your brain acts." "The brain doesn't know the difference between a good habit and a bad habit — it just knows habit."

When's the last time you stopped to really look at your numbers and realized they could help you get what you want? In this episode of The Sales Maven Show, host Nikki Rausch welcomes Danielle Hayden, CEO of Kickstart Accounting Inc., for a conversation that changes the way business owners think about their finances. Danielle, a former hairdresser turned CFO and now successful entrepreneur, shares how learning to use numbers strategically, not fearfully, can completely transform your business and your life. Danielle explains that numbers aren't a report card; they're a roadmap. When you understand how to read them, they can tell you what's working, what's not, and where to focus your energy next. At Kickstart, Danielle's team provides clients with a monthly “snapshot,” a simple high-level view of their business performance. Each month, they focus on one specific area so that busy CEOs can spend more time in their zone of genius while still making data-driven decisions. It's about clarity, not complexity. The conversation also dives into how Danielle personally uses numbers to get what she wants. For her, success right now means being home with her teenage son, teaching him to drive, cook, and prepare for life. She's built her business structure around that goal. By tracking where her clients come from, she realized that podcasting and referrals were her biggest revenue drivers. That insight allowed her to step away from time-consuming travel and double down on what truly supports her lifestyle and her bottom line. Nikki and Danielle also talk about the emotional side of money and how childhood experiences and old “report card” mindsets can make us feel like failures when the numbers don't meet our expectations. Danielle shares how she's learned to approach her financials with curiosity instead of judgment, asking, “What is this number telling me?” rather than “What's wrong with me?” This mindset shift gives entrepreneurs the freedom to make informed choices instead of reacting from fear. Ultimately, this episode is a masterclass in financial empowerment. If you've ever avoided your numbers because they feel overwhelming or “not your thing,” this conversation will change that. You'll walk away knowing that understanding your finances isn't about math; it's about creating a business and a life that align with your goals. When you learn to use your numbers wisely, you can truly get what you want. Nikki invites you to join the Sales Maven Society. Take advantage of this opportunity to work together with you and Nikki.

Ever wondered how someone could make half their annual photography income in just one week? That's exactly what happened to Megan O'Hare when she ran her first strategic Black Friday promotion.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Megan O'Hare, the powerhouse behind The Photo Project—a course that teaches moms how to organize their digital photo chaos. We're diving deep into how Megan went from making around $7,000 on her first attempt at a Black Friday sale to crushing it with $51,000 the following year using my Black Friday in a Box strategy. She's pulling back the curtain on exactly how she structures her promotions, why her done-for-you service sells out twice a year, and how she's built a business model that allows her to barely touch social media while still growing her email list and revenue consistently.This conversation is packed with strategy gold, including why Megan limits her high-ticket one-to-one offers to just two sale periods per year, how she's made certain products available ONLY during Black Friday (talk about built-in urgency!), and why 95% of her done-for-you clients are people who already bought her course but decided they'd rather just have her do it.What you'll learn:How Megan went from $7K to $51K in Black Friday sales by implementing a strategic promotion planThe exact structure of her 5-day Black Friday sale and why limiting availability creates massive demandWhy her done-for-you service clients are almost always previous course buyers (and what that means for YOUR business model)How she runs a summer sale using the same Black Friday strategy for an additional revenue boostHer approach to making certain products available ONLY during promotional periods to drive urgencyWhy lead generation ads are her "cost of doing business" and how she thinks about ROI differentlyThe truth about her email marketing strategy (spoiler: it's not perfect, and that's okay)How she's structured pricing for her done-for-you service to avoid awkward money conversationsResources Mentioned in this episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-friday The Photo Project: https://thephotoproject.co/ Megan O'Hare on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oharephotos/ Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show
