As the end of the quarter approaches and the halfway point of the year comes into focus, many advisors are planning CEO Days to step back and think strategically about their businesses. But before you jump into goal-setting, planning, and big-picture thinking, there's one important step that can dramatically improve the quality of your strategic work. In this episode, Libby shares why an Admin Day—or at least a few dedicated admin hours—should come before every CEO Day and how clearing mental clutter creates the space for better decisions, deeper thinking, and more productive strategy sessions.In this episode, you'll learn:Why an Admin Day is the prerequisite to an effective CEO DayHow physical and digital clutter impacts your ability to think strategicallyWhy working through lingering tasks often uncovers the biggest opportunities for improvement in your businessA simple process for clearing the runway so you can maximize your CEO timeStrategic thinking requires space, focus, and clarity—and those things are hard to access when your brain is juggling unfinished tasks and mental to-do lists. Before your next CEO Day, give yourself permission to spend some time clearing the decks first. You may be surprised how much more productive, insightful, and valuable your strategic planning becomes when you remove the noise and create room to think like a CEO.Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

Okay, I'm finally spilling it.After months of being *annoyingly* coy about "the platform," I can officially tell you what Andrew and I have been building—and what it's called.Meet wAIv (yes, spelled like that—lowercase w, capital AI, lowercase v). It's an AI platform designed to help expert creators like you build, protect, and *monetize* your knowledge through custom AI tools we call bot squads.In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of our launch—how we named the company (pizza + whiteboards were involved), why we're doing this, and what makes wAIv different from anything else out there.I'll also share:The origin story of wAIv and Gravia Studio (and why naming a company is WAY harder than it should be)What a "bot squad" actually is—and why it's like a custom GPT, Claude skill, and workflow all rolled into oneHow we're protecting creator IP in a world where people are already feeding your worksheets into ChatGPT (yep, it's happening)Why we believe in *human-first AI adoption*—and what that means for your businessA sneak peek at our beta program and how creators are already rethinking their entire delivery modelsHow you can try the **AI Tool Launch Playbook** and experience what wAIv does firsthandThis isn't just another AI tool. It's a philosophy shift. It's about enhancing your expertise, not replacing it. It's about helping your clients get results faster while deepening the work you do together.If you're a coach, course creator, or consultant who's ever thought, "I wish my clients could access my brain when I'm not there," this episode is for you.>>Your Next Steps:

There are two types of advisors heading into Q2: those stuck in reactive mode, feeling busy but behind, and those who intentionally step back to lead their business forward. In this episode, Libby walks through what it actually looks like to shift into CEO mode by conducting a quarterly business review. Drawing from her own recent CEO retreat, she breaks down simple but powerful ways advisors can step out of the day-to-day, recalibrate their priorities, and make smarter decisions about where to focus next. This is about getting out of the weeds long enough to design a business that actually works for you, not the other way around.In this episode you will learn:How to shift from operator mode into CEO mode and why that shift is the key to scaling your businessA simple framework for conducting a Q1 business review, including how to evaluate goals, identify gaps, and recalibrate for Q2How to use data instead of gut instinct to assess your offers, conversion rates, and overall business performanceHow to identify capacity constraints, reduce operational load, and create more time through delegation, automation, and process improvementsIf you've been feeling busy but not necessarily clear or productive, this episode is your invitation to step back and get intentional. Even a few hours spent thinking like a CEO can dramatically change the trajectory of your next quarter.Learn more about the Group Coaching & Mastermind HERE!Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about Asset-Map financial planning software HERE!

Conference season is one of the most energizing times of the year for financial advisors. From fresh marketing ideas to meaningful connections and leadership growth, the upside can be huge. But without a plan, it can just as easily turn into overwhelm, shiny object syndrome, and a notebook full of ideas that never see the light of day. In this episode, I walk you through a simple four-phase framework — before, during, after, and six months later — so you can actually measure ROI from the events you attend and make sure they move the needle in your business.In this episode, you'll learn:How to schedule the right debriefs and CEO time before you even leave for a conference so you don't waste the momentum when you return How to set a clear conference goal that filters sessions, networking, and opportunities through what actually matters to your businessA smarter way to take notes that prioritizes action over inspiration so you leave with a plan, not just a pile of quotes How to protect your team from idea overload and bring back focused, strategic priorities instead of a firehose of changeWhat to measure six months later so you can determine whether a conference truly delivered ROI — in time saved, revenue gained, relationships built, or friction reduced Conference season does not have to equal overwhelm. With the right structure, it can become one of the most profitable and strategic investments you make all year. When you approach events with intention before you go, discipline while you're there, and measurable follow-through afterward, you stop attending based on vibes and start attending based on results.

Healey Cypher, CEO of BoomPop and COO at Atomic, breaks down what separates founders who win from founders who stall. You will hear a clear way to judge whether an idea is truly worth building, plus the trust mechanics that get investors, customers, and teammates to actually follow you.This conversation is a practical map for tech builders who want to pick smarter problems, execute faster, and earn credibility without the founder theater.Key TakeawaysFounders matter most, but the idea is still a gate, the same great team can get wildly different outcomes depending on the market and timingVC backed is a specific game, it requires not just big potential, but fast scale, and the incentives are not the same as building a profitable lifestyle businessA quick reality check for market size, if you need more than about five to seven percent penetration to hit meaningful revenue, it is usually a brutal pathPainkillers beat vitamins, solve an urgent problem people feel right now, or you risk getting cut the moment budgets tightenTrust is built through authenticity, logic, and empathy, if one wobbles, people feel it fast, and progress slows everywhereTimestamped Highlights00:00:00 Healey's background, why BoomPop, and what the episode is really about00:02:00 The post pandemic spend shift and the why now behind modern events and group travel00:04:30 Founder versus idea, why execution dominates, but the opportunity still decides the ceiling00:06:40 The VC reality, power law returns, speed, and why some good businesses are still a no for venture00:09:15 A simple market math test, penetration levels that become a growth wall00:19:00 Trust as a founder skill, the three ingredients and how to spot when one is missing00:21:30 Vulnerability as a shortcut to real connection, plus the giver mindset that makes people want you to winA line worth stealingIf everyone wants you to win, it is a lot easier to win.Pro Tips for Tech FoundersAsk yourself what you naturally look forward to doing, that is often your zone of strength, hire around the tasks you dreadLearn the financial basics early, especially cash flow, it is the scoreboard that keeps you alive long enough to winWhen trust is lagging, check the three levers, are you showing the real you, can people follow your reasoning, do they feel you care about their outcomesWhat's next:If you build products, lead teams, or are thinking about starting something, follow the show so you do not miss episodes like this.

Forget resolutions. In this solo episode, I'm taking you inside the personal mindset shift I'm making for 2026 — one that's already reshaping how I lead, work, and live.Instead of a list of goals, I've chosen two powerful words to guide everything I do this year:

What if the very thing draining your energy isn't your to-do list… but your tolerance list?In this eye-opening episode, George flips the script on the usual productivity talk and gets real about the silent chaos we allow in our lives. From draining clients to leaky boundaries, what you tolerate becomes what you teach. And today, you'll discover how to reclaim your power, not by doing more, but by tolerating less.This powerful rerun from the Reset in 20 series isn't about adding new strategies, it's about subtracting the ones that are misaligned. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why misalignment doesn't come from what you do, but what you allowHow tolerating small misfires leads to big resentmentThe ripple effect of values (or lack of them) across your team and businessA single journaling question that will reveal what needs to change now Key Takeaways:✔️You're not what you do, you're what you tolerate. That applies to your team, your offers, your habits, and yourself.✔️Resentment is often self-created. We don't get drained by others, we get drained by saying yes when we mean no.✔️The clearest standards are the ones we model. Your team and your clients won't rise above the example you set.✔️One powerful question to sit with: “What are you resentfully tolerating instead of actively celebrating?”✔️Three values, standards, or principles can realign your entire environment. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — Intro to Episode 4 + overview of Reset in 20[01:45] — “You're not what you do, you're what you tolerate” explained[03:25] — Real-life application with George and Ashley's team[06:50] — Story from EOS Implementer Dave Feidner on toxic team transformation[10:40] — How personal tolerations mirror in business and family[13:00] — Impact of misalignment and missed standards on company culture[15:10] — Values aren't slogans, they're behavioral bumpers[16:40] — Reflection question to reset your standard this week[18:20] — Wrap-up + personal reflection momentYour Challenge This Week:Commit to finishing all 7 episodes of the Reset in 20 series and invite one friend to do it with you.

Or maybe the opposite—expecting a huge sale based on their zip code? In this episode, Heather and I break down why judging your clients' wallets is a dangerous game—and how it's probably costing you real money.What to Listen For:The real reason your brain tries to predict client spendingWhy judgment is usually more about you than themWhat “clean thinking” means and how it improves your salesHow disappointment-avoidance is sabotaging your businessA mindset shift that instantly makes sales conversations easierWhat silence during a sales conversation actually meansWhy two clients with the same income may spend wildly different amountsHow Heather handles post-sale disappointment (spoiler: it's genius)The key to offering your services without attachment or judgmentThe biggest sales mistake we can make?
