In this insightful episode, host Vince Perry, Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and Business Broker, sits down with strategic advisor Jason Bush of Linville Team Partners to break down one of the most overlooked components of business exits: commercial real estate. Jason is a CEPA who operates at the intersection of M&A, commercial real estate (CRE), and exit planning. In this conversation, he explains how business owners can significantly increase their total enterprise value by treating real estate as a strategic asset—not an afterthought—during the sale process. For many Main Street business owners, the majority of their net worth is tied up in the property. Yet in most M&A transactions, the analytical rigor is applied almost exclusively to the operating company, leaving the real estate undervalued and poorly structured. Jason's unique background—combining quantitative experience as a former Civil Engineer and Professional Engineer (PE), buy-side M&A exposure, and CRE advisory—gives him a rare perspective on how to properly align business and real estate strategy to maximize outcomes. In this episode, you'll learn: The Overlooked Asset: Why commercial real estate is often ignored in exit planning and how separating OpCo and PropCo can unlock significant net worth. The Undermarket Rent Trap: How failing to set market-based rent can destroy income-based valuations and limit wealth creation. Creating Optionality: How to structure flexibility so you can choose whether to sell, retain, or lease the real estate at exit. Maximizing Value After the Sale: Why selling the business first—especially to private equity—can increase real estate value by improving tenant credit quality and compressing cap rates. Lease Pitfalls: How month-to-month leases can drop a company's valuation floor to zero and why lease terms matter just as much as financials. If you're planning an exit—or even thinking about one—this episode will change how you view commercial real estate in your overall strategy.

This week's market update dives into several key economic signals, including the latest readings on inflation through CPI, PPI, along with the kickoff of fourth-quarter earnings season. Major banks are among the first to report, offering early insight into both the health of the economy and the broader market backdrop.A timely listener question also sparked a deeper discussion about how we evaluate market-moving headlines—and why news alone doesn't automatically trigger changes to a well-constructed portfolio. Using recent developments involving Venezuela as an example, we walk through the critical distinction between short-term trading and long-term investing. While geopolitical events can drive near-term volatility, our investment decisions are grounded in a disciplined, research-driven process. We explain how Henssler evaluates stocks using multi-point criteria and in-depth fundamental analysis, and why that approach aligns with our long-term financial planning philosophy, the Henssler Ten Year Rule.We're also unpacking a developing story that's drawing attention on Wall Street and in Washington. Reports indicate the U.S. attorney's office is reviewing testimony from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, a move that's quickly become part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to pressure the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. We'll discuss what this could mean for the Fed's independence, why markets are paying close attention, and why—despite the headlines—monetary policy is intended to be guided by data, not politics.Finally, we take a closer look at today's auto market, where new car prices have jumped more than 30% since 2020, pushing average sticker prices past $50,000. We break down what's driving record-high monthly payments now averaging well over $750, the growing use of eight-, nine-, and even 10-year loan terms, and why these trends matter well beyond the dealership.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.

Andrew D. Mirolli, CEPA®, is Vice President at buyAUM.com, where he helps independent RIAs and advisory teams design client-safe successions and growth-minded partial equity transactions. He partners with firm owners to evaluate strategic options—full exits, mergers, or “sell & grow” structures—then builds operator-grade playbooks around valuation levers, documentation, and client communications that protect trust, culture, and enterprise value. Drawing on experience with solo practices and multi-partner firms, Andrew focuses on aligning partner timelines, de-risking handoffs, and preserving retention through a clear cadence of client re-introductions and meetings. Known for translating complex deal mechanics into simple steps advisors can act on next quarter, he brings a practical lens to high-stakes transitions.

New year, new goals—but which financial resolutions actually reduce stress and build wealth? We break down practical investing and money habits that help you focus on what matters most, from setting a clear plan to staying disciplined in volatile markets. If you're ready to start the year with clarity and confidence—not noise—this episode is for you.There's a baby boom happening at Henssler—and it sparked an important conversation exploring how welcoming a child changes your financial life and the critical first steps every new parent should take. From putting the right legal protections in place and reviewing insurance coverage, to understanding new tax benefits and when it makes sense to start saving for college, this episode offers a clear financial starting point during one of life's biggest transitions.After the break, we tackle two timely listener questions that many investors are quietly asking. First, does it make sense to step away from work at 50 and use Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP) to access retirement funds early? Then, with the Magnificent Seven driving much of the market's recent gains, we discuss whether now may be the right time to take some profits and diversify into income-producing dividend ETFs. If you're weighing early retirement strategies or wondering how concentrated your portfolio has become, this segment offers practical perspective—and a few important cautions.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

December 27, 2025: (Repeat) The Long Game: Investing, Mortgages, and Year-End Money MovesWhile we're out of the studio this week, we've collected a selection of great discussions from the past few months. For young men, knowing every player stat is easier than understanding investing—but it doesn't have to be that way. We respond to a listener's question about the rise of sports betting and show how the same competitive spirit can be redirected toward “betting” on the markets—tracking long-term wins, company performance, and financial growth.After the break, we dive into a headline-grabbing idea: 50-year mortgages. The Federal Housing Finance Agency is floating the concept, but would stretching a home loan over five decades make homebuying more accessible—or simply saddle borrowers with far more interest over time? We lay out the potential benefits, the pitfalls, and what this could mean for future homeowners.We walk through the essentials of year-end IRA planning—from maximizing contributions to handling required minimum distributions and reviewing beneficiaries. We highlight key deadlines, common pitfalls to avoid, and tactics that can help strengthen your long-term savings.We'll also answer a listener question about donor-advised funds—a charitable giving tool that lets you give now, decide later, and save on taxes today.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two.

InvestOrama - Separate Investment Facts from Financial Fiction
For decades, wealth management was defined by proximity.Advisors, Families, relationships built on continuity. The industry scaled slowly because wealth is personal, and stewardship doesn't lend itself easily to industrial logic.That assumption is now breaking.Over the past five years, the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) industry has entered what has been described as a golden era of deal-making—one driven not by product innovation, but by ownership change. Wealth management is being scaled, with Private Equity-backed equity “roll-ups”.In the latest Investology episode, we're discussing the intricacies and implications of this industry trend with Andrew D. Mirolli, CEPA, the co-founder of BuyAUM.com - Growth Partner for RIA Buyers & Sellers.Enjoy the episode on every podcast platform or YouTube.About Andrew At buyAUM.com, I help Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) scale their practices and safeguard their legacies.For growth-focused firms, I provide access to curated acquisition opportunities tailored to strategic goals.

From festive traditions to financial realities, this episode covers a wide range of timely topics as the year comes to a close. We start with a lighter look at the season, unpacking some of this year's biggest holiday trends, starting with Elf on the Shelf's Marietta roots. Elf on the Shelf has grown from a simple idea into a global enterprise. Its deep connection to holiday tradition has helped create a sustainable, enduring business model year after year. Next we jump into the shopping trends from Labubu to Crumbl Cookies to luxury items. We consider what current consumer spending trends reveal about shoppers' confidence. We'll discuss what a K-shaped recovery tells us about consumer financial health and what it could mean for the economy heading into the new year.From there, we turn to the economy, diving into recently released data including November's employment growth and the current unemployment rate. Is the AI trend fully supporting our economy? In some ways yes, but we're also seeing the broader market catch up to the Magnificent Seven. Student loans are also back in the spotlight, with significant changes carrying major implications for millions of borrowers. We break down what's happening with income-driven repayment plans, including updates to IBR and the emerging Repayment Assistance Plan, and how these shifts may affect monthly payments and long-term forgiveness timelines. Our host KC was recently quoted in CNBC on these developments, and we'll explain what the legal and policy changes mean for your financial future.Finally, we look ahead to upcoming tax-law changes tied to higher education, including repayment plan phase-outs and expanded rules around federal education benefits—part of the broader One Big Beautiful Bill that could reshape student debt and college costs in the years ahead.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

We're knee-deep in the last month of trading for the year, and the Fed just delivered its last rate cut of the year—exactly as expected, but not without disagreement on the committee. Tune in for a fast breakdown of the week's market swings and what December's meeting could signal for 2026.Since the election, investors have been buzzing about the “Trump Trades”—the expected to soar under the new administration. But did they actually perform? We dig into the stocks that were supposed to surge, the ones that fizzled, and the surprising rallies sparked by political headlines and social-media “market tips.”A brand-new stock exchange is headed for Texas. Necessary innovation or just noise? With SEC approval, heavyweight backing, and plans to launch in early 2026, TXSE could reshape where—and how—companies list and trade. We break down what it could mean for public markets and everyday investors.And as part of our ongoing series on AI's financial footprint, we unpack Meta Platforms' latest move: a $27 billion data-center buildout that won't touch its balance sheet.

What does that mean for risk, transparency, and investors? We explain.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

Gordon also shares his perspective on staying engaged with the business long-term and his philosophy of “refire, not retire,” which has shaped the way he works with owners today.This episode gives business owners clear steps and a realistic path to becoming truly exit-ready, no matter their timeline.

Black Friday wasn't just big this year—it was record-breaking. In this episode, we unpack how much shoppers really spent, the online vs. in-store battle, why the “day” now lasts for weeks, and what those steep discounts mean for retailer margins. We also explore the surge in Buy Now, Pay Later and what it signals about consumer health heading into year-end.A new kind of baby gift is coming—and it could reshape generational wealth. We dig into the newly announced Trump Accounts, seeded with funds children can tap for education, small business expenses, and first-time home purchases. Plus, we examine the Dell family's massive $6.25 billion contribution, which expands access for younger children in moderate-income ZIP codes. We break down how these accounts could realistically grow over time, the tax advantages families should understand, and why this program could be a financial lifeline for households with little to no savings.For young men, knowing every player stat is easier than understanding investing—but it doesn't have to be that way. We respond to a listener's question about the rise of sports betting and show how the same competitive spirit can be redirected toward “betting” on the markets—tracking long-term wins, company performance, and financial growth.Before the year closes, your portfolio might be hiding some opportunities. We explore year-end strategies like tax-loss selling, harvesting gains to offset recognized losses, and resetting your cost basis. We also break down how capital gains are taxed and why these moves can help you keep more of what you've earned.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

This week on “Henssler Money Talks,” we're digging into what Thanksgiving really costs in 2025. Walmart is rolling out a dinner basket that feeds 10 for under $4 per person—though it's a bit leaner than last year and noticeably missing those beloved King's Hawaiian rolls. Target's four-person meal rings in under $20, even as grocery prices climb 2.7%. We break down what all of this says about inflation, consumer behavior, and the state of the American wallet heading into the holidays.Then we turn to the markets. November has been a tougher month for stocks, and as third-quarter earnings season winds down, big names like Nvidia are still set to drive headlines. Can its results turn the week around? With the government shutdown now off the table, investors are also gearing up for a fresh round of economic data—including minutes from the Federal Reserve's October meeting that may offer clues about the path of interest rates. We unpack what investors should watch and what it all means for your portfolio.After the break, we dive into a headline-grabbing idea: 50-year mortgages. The Federal Housing Finance Agency is floating the concept, but would stretching a home loan over five decades make homebuying more accessible—or simply saddle borrowers with far more interest over time? We lay out the potential benefits, the pitfalls, and what this could mean for future homeowners.And in our year-end planning segment, we turn to single-member LLCs and gig-economy workers. If you work for yourself, now is the time to take stock of your 2025 tax picture. We'll walk through what counts as income, which expenses qualify as deductions, and how to maximize retirement contributions before the year wraps up.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

As we close in on year-end, this week's “Henssler Money Talks” tackles three financial decisions that can make a major impact on your long-term plan. First, before you write that last charitable check of 2025, make sure you're doing it strategically. We break down the evolving charitable giving rules—from updated deduction limits to how Qualified Charitable Distributions and Donor Advised Funds can help you give more efficiently. Whether you donate regularly or ramp up your giving at year-end, understanding these rules can help you maximize both your impact and your tax benefit. Next, we dig into a question many listeners are asking: Should you stop saving and pay off the mortgage before retirement? While being debt-free sounds great, it may leave you “house-rich and cash-poor.” We unpack the trade-offs, including how mortgage rates compare to long-term investment returns, the risks of cutting back on 401(k) contributions, and why carrying some debt into retirement may actually support your overall financial flexibility. Finally, we explore the recommended “order to savings”—and why it's not a one-size-fits-all formula. From employer retirement plans to Roth IRAs to taxable brokerage accounts, where you save first can depend on your goals, timeline, and tax picture. We break down the most common prioritization framework and help you think through the right path for your personal situation.

Mary welcomes Babette Friedman from Nevada to explore Allium Cepa, the red-onion remedy many people overlook. It's a brilliant acute option to keep in first-aid kits, especially for colds and seasonal allergies—an example of "like cures like." What Allium Cepa Looks Like Babette highlights the classic "onion-chopping" picture: profuse, watery nasal discharge that burns the upper lip, with bland, non-burning tears. There's often violent sneezing, an itchy or tickly nose and throat, and symptoms that are worse in damp-cold weather or stuffy warm rooms, yet better in open air. Beyond Colds: Nerves, Feet, and Ears Allium Cepa isn't just for runny noses. It may help: Nerve pains that feel like a "thread" of pain in the face, head, or neck—and even phantom limb pain. Sore, chafed feet from standing or walking. Sharp, tearing sore throats that can shoot pain to the ear, as well as some ear infections (often left-sided, with possible yellow discharge). Allergies, Foods & Coughs Babette notes links with pollen-driven hay fever and even sensitivities around peach skins for some people. Allium Cepa can also fit various coughs (including croupy or whooping-type) when the hallmark watery, irritating nasal flow is present. In babies, there's a practical tip: colic after onions or cucumbers may point to this remedy; a nursing mother's dose may pass through milk. Real-World Cases Older adult in a damp building (spring): Raw upper lip from constant drip, watery eyes, worry, drowsiness, yawning, sore walking feet—improved quickly on Allium Cepa. Busy New Yorker (spring cold): Sinus headache swiftly shifted to runny nose and throat signs; cleared in two days. Child with left-sided ear pain (rainy winter): Woke at 2 AM screaming; thirsty, hoarse, watery nasal flow, yellow ear discharge—calmed within hours and recovered over a few days. How practitioners decide As Babette and Mary emphasise, homoeopathy matches the person's total picture, not a diagnosis. Observations (e.g., timing like 2 AM, sides, modalities, thirst, mood) help narrow choices. When Allium Cepa is right, it often works quickly—but if the picture changes, the remedy strategy may change too. Key takeaways Keep Allium Cepa in your first-aid kit for colds and hay fever. Look for burning nose/upper lip + bland tears; violent sneezing; worse damp-cold, better open air. Note extra clues: left-sided ear pain, sharp throat pain, thread-like nerve pain, sore feet, 2 AM aggravation. Describe specifics—what worsens, what helps, exact sensations—to improve remedy matching.

Why estate planning and business succession fail most often has nothing to do with legal documents. It comes down to communication, valuation, and timing. In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, we explore the intersection of estate planning, business succession, and valuation with private client attorney Brian Balduzzi. Brian explains why estate planning is not just for the ultra-wealthy. Every business owner needs core documents in place to protect their family and business: wills, medical and financial powers of attorney, and a plan for what happens to their company. We dig into: How business valuation fits into estate and succession planning When to assemble the right advisor team and who should be at the table The dangers of ignoring valuation for illiquid assets Why failing to communicate plans derails succession efforts How gifting strategies, charitable giving, and legacy intentions shape outcomes Brian also touches on the emotional and human aspects of planning: chosen family considerations, stewardship of wealth, and why planning during life often creates better results than leaving everything to be sorted out later. If you're a business owner, this conversation offers practical steps to start protecting your company and your family today. #EstatePlanning #ProtectYourAssets #FuturePlanning #TaxStrategy #BusinessValuation #FamilyWealth #LifeGoals #LegacyPlanning ----more---- About Our Guest: Brian M.

Hold on—K.C.'s fired up! He can't watch football because Disney and YouTube are at war over money. ESPN, ABC, SEC Network—all gone from YouTube TV. Disney says it's about fair value; YouTube says it's about protecting customers. So, what's really going on in this streaming standoff—and how many streaming subscriptions will K.C. have when the dust settles?Meanwhile, the markets are digesting a lot at once: a Fed rate cut, one of the strongest earnings seasons in years, and the longest government shutdown in history, which has stalled key economic data. Historically, shutdowns haven't hurt performance, but this time, timing matters. With more than 80% of S&P 500 companies beating expectations and no fresh reports to guide policy or sentiment, we ask—how much longer can this rally keep its footing?After the break, we tackle how many Americans are trapped by their biggest asset: their homes. And not because of mortgage rates, but because of capital gains. In our example, a widow faces more than $100,000 in capital gains tax if she sells. That's the “lock-in effect” of a $250,000 home-sale exclusion that hasn't changed in nearly 30 years. We'll break down what that means for “everyday millionaires” and explore planning tools like QPRTs, the step-up in basis, or even paying the tax strategically that can make a difference.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Think your home's title is safe? Think again. Scammers are stealing property ownership right out from under homeowners—sometimes without them knowing until a foreclosure notice arrives. This week on “Henssler Money Talks,” we uncover the growing threat of home title theft, how it happens, and what you can do to protect yourself. Meanwhile the government shutdown drags into its fourth week, Congress can't seem to break the stalemate, and an Amazon cloud outage exposes the internet's dependence on a few cloud giants. We'll break down what these headlines mean for investors and the markets. Finally with Europe's valuations looking attractive and the euro undervalued, Morgan Stanley sees European equities outperforming U.S. markets in 2026. We'll examine that outlook, discuss ways to gain exposure to Europe, and consider how global diversification fits into a well-rounded portfolio.

She explains the crucial difference between revenue and profit, why separate bank accounts can save your business, and how to avoid nasty tax surprises that can cripple your cash flow.

With the government still halted, economic news has been sparse—but markets seem to be shrugging off the shutdown, showing relatively subdued moves. Still, it's spooky season, and we're digging into just how much Americans spend on Halloween—from the 12-foot lawn skeletons to the endless bags of mini-Snickers. With spending expected to hit record highs this year, we ask: where are all those giant decorations stored the other 11 months of the year? Could this be why storage units are in such high demand? We break down the economics of Halloween—and what our obsession with spooky décor says about consumer behavior. Meanwhile, OpenAI—the creator of ChatGPT—is pouring billions into data centers and infrastructure to power the AI revolution, driving a surge in construction, power generation, and tech development. But there's one catch: OpenAI isn't yet profitable. Investors are betting big on future returns—but what happens if the AI boom cools off or takes longer to deliver? Who foots the bill for all that power and expansion? AI may feel like a sure bet, but there are plenty of financial “what-ifs” to consider. And in our final segment, we tackle a listener's big question: How do I make sure my money lasts through retirement? We explore how spending shapes your financial plan, the importance of cash flow projections, and why revisiting your plan regularly can keep you on track. Plus, we share how we determine a client's “maximum spending” threshold—and what it means if you're getting too close to that line.

In this week's episode, we break down the strength of the current stock market—after several years of 20%+ returns, we're on track for another strong year with the market up 15% heading into the fourth quarter. We discuss companies posting record profits, the sheer number of all-time highs we've seen, and debate whether this momentum represents a new normal or just an anomaly.We also dig into the drama of a government shutdown—what sparked it, what really happens when Washington stalls, and what history tells us about the real impact on the economy. We'll focus on what really matters for your money, and talk about the broader consequences along with what it might take to prevent future standoffs.Why does the economy look strong on paper while so many people feel squeezed? We dig into the growing divide between the “haves” and “have-nots,” where the top 10% income earners drive nearly half of all spending while the middle class is getting squeezed out. From budget hotels struggling to fill rooms to luxury resorts booked solid, we'll explore what this bifurcation means for the economy—and for everyday investors.To wrap up the show, we're taking a sweet detour into the world of dirty soda—the over-the-top, syrup-and-cream-loaded drinks that are taking TikTok by storm. From candy add-ins to premade bottles and even specialty soda shops, we'll explore why everyone suddenly wants their soda “dirty” and what this trend says about today's foodie culture.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

In this episode, Patti Brennan and Eric Fuhrman break down the Value Acceleration Methodology they recently learned through the CEPA program. They share why most businesses don't sell for what owners expect, the critical role of intangibles like culture and customer relationships, and how business owners can unlock massive value by de-risking their companies. Whether you're a business owner, employee, or stakeholder, this conversation offers powerful insights into building long-term enterprise value.
While we're out of the studio this week, we've collected a selection of great discussions from the past few months. First, we look at a situation where a listener has been with his car insurance company for 25 years, but switching providers offers better coverage, lower deductibles, and hundreds in savings—what should he do? For many, the emotional weight of loyalty outweighs the financial upside of making a change. Next, D.J. breaks down Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and explains why they're one of the most powerful tools for saving money—thanks to their unique triple tax benefit. While many people use HSAs to pay for health-care expenses as they arise, there are compelling advantages to covering those costs from other funds and allowing the HSA to accumulate, benefiting from tax-deferred growth over time. If you're rolling over your 401(k), should you reinvest all at once or ease in with dollar-cost averaging? Nick and K.C. break down the pros, cons, and emotions behind each strategy. After the break, we unpack the jaw-dropping strategy known as “Buy, Borrow, Die”—a legal tax loophole the ultra-wealthy use to build massive fortunes, fund lavish lifestyles, and pass on wealth to heirs nearly tax-free. It's a masterclass in how America's richest sidestep income and estate taxes, exposing the widening gap between the tax code for the few—and the one for everyone else.

This week's market spotlight is on the Federal Reserve, as they cut the Fed Funds rate by 0.25 percentage points—and, perhaps more importantly, signaled what could be ahead for future rate cuts. We also dig into the latest Retail Sales and Consumer Sentiment data.After the break, we shift gears to mortgage rates with Shanna Squires from Henssler Mortgage Advisors. She shares insights on how quickly Fed rate changes filter into the mortgage market, what that timing means for homeowners, and when refinancing may be the right move. We'll also discuss how locking in a lower rate could lead to meaningful long-term savings.Finally, we tackle a listener question about launching a business. With more than $1 million in investments and $250,000 in cash, but needing $500,000 to get started, what's the smartest way to fund the venture? We weigh the pros and cons of tapping into cash and investments versus exploring options like a business loan or private equity—all while keeping his overall financial plan, cash flow, retirement, and long-term goals in focus.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.
