 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. 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. Henssler Money Talks — October 25, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 43 Timestamps and Chapters 6:12: Home Sweet… Stolen?

Miércoles. Un día para recordar. No porque sea miércoles, que eso es lo habitual, es que hoy nos hemos reído muy fuerte con: Cepa trayéndonos una joya en forma de canción; Manu nos habla de la última liada de Twitch; Juanki nos cuenta el salseo de La Oreja de Van Gogh y Laura nos pone a pensar, que se le da bien.

Markets found their footing this week as optimism returned over U.S.–China trade talks. With the government shutdown putting key economic data on hold, investors are turning their attention to a strong start for third-quarter earnings.We're also diving into a major regulatory shift under discussion at the SEC, where Chair Paul Atkins says he's “fast-tracking” President Trump's proposal to make quarterly earnings reports optional. Could semiannual reporting cut costs and reduce short-term thinking—or leave investors in the dark? We'll unpack what fewer updates might mean for portfolio transparency and market volatility.Then, we take a closer look under the hood at Tesla. From affordable Model Y releases to ambitious projects like the Optimus humanoid robot, the company keeps making headlines—but does the stock meet the Henssler Investment Criteria?

CPA and financial planner Deb Meyer breaks down why most video business owners struggle financially and stay stuck on what she calls "the hamster wheel." 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. Key Takeaways Set up separate bank accounts for taxes, contractor expenses, and operating costs to avoid accidentally spending money that's already allocated Focus on profit margins (aim for at least 30%) rather than just top-line revenue numbers Get proactive tax planning to avoid surprise bills—a good CPA should give you quarterly projections, not April surprises Before buying any equipment or hiring staff, ask yourself if it will actually make you money or save you time that translates to revenue About Deb Meyer Deb Meyer, CFP®, CPA, and CEPA, is the award-winning author of Redefining Family Wealth, host of the Beyond Budgets® podcast, and founder of WorthyNest®, a fee-only, fiduciary wealth management firm that guides parents through important financial decisions using a values-based approach.

 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. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

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.

En esta nueva semana que coincide que volvemos a emitir un miércoles, hablamos de cosas tan diversas y emocionantes como: juegos infectados por virus en Steam; Cepa nos muestra qué es un sample y cómo se usa; nos preguntamos qué hacemos cuando estamos solos en casa y descubrimos la cerveza que te pone modorro pero sin alcohol.

Episode Summary Bill and Pete get personal about a shared health detour—early-detected prostate cancer—and how “health meets wealth” shows up in real life. They unpack the emotional and practical steps (baselines, deltas, options, decisions), then pivot to Pete's new niche venture: Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) work and the launch of The Confident Exit podcast for business owners. Time-Stamped Show Notes 00:00 – Welcome & context Bill opens the show and explains they've been on a brief hiatus; Pete joins remotely from San Francisco (actual hotel room, not a virtual background). 00:43 – Where's Pete? Pete's calling in from San Francisco, CA; quick banter about travel and being “alongside on screen.” 01:13 – Why the hiatus It's “been a minute.” They tee up a candid health conversation and a new podcast announcement. 01:30 – Health Meets Wealth (Chapter call-back) Bill frames the pause through the lens of the book's “health meets wealth” theme. 01:39 – Pete's health journey (early detection) A year-long series of tests escalates from “yellow flag” to “red flags.” Diagnosis: prostate cancer, caught early. Pete opts for surgery (early May), good recovery, and gratitude for proactive care and skilled medical teams. 03:18 – Bill's parallel path Family history heightens vigilance. Bill tracks PSA trend (delta) even while within “normal,” leading to MRI → biopsy. 04:34 – Valentine's Day twist: both brothers end up getting biopsies the same day—unknowingly. 04:45 – Diagnosis details & options Bill's Gleason score is a bit lower; he explores alternatives (incl. TULSA-PRO) and clinical trials comparing it to standard surgery. Randomized to surgery; undergoes laparoscopic removal at end of July. Two months post-op at recording—healing well. 06:32 – The headspace & decision process Choosing among credible options; balancing personal values, family impact, and medical clarity. Pete's approach: execute step-by-step (don't over-project), while noting loved ones may process differently. 10:24 – September awareness It's Prostate Cancer Awareness Month; heightened appreciation this year. 10:36 – Community support: Blue Ribbon Soirée involvement becomes part of their ongoing advocacy. 10:51 – “Snakes on the runway” Bill's milestone moments: heart scare at 50; prostate surgery at 60. The “snake in the grass” metaphor from the book—find it, step over it, deal with it—and the humor (what happens at 70/80?). 11:35 – The big takeaway: baselines Be proactive: get baseline labs and track the delta annually. You owe it to yourself and your tribe (family, partners, employees). Tie-in to CYA360 themes: key-person health risk to a business. 12:54 – Bites & Insights + “Glimpse of the Future” At Horizon lunches, they use the handout to project yourself—and your tribe—forward in 5-year increments. Planning for your future self is easier when you visualize loved ones aging too. 15:28 – Cognitive risk in later years Stats awareness (e.g., dementia/Alzheimer's prevalence in the 80s) reminds listeners to pre-plan for wealth protection as cognition can decline—even for once-meticulous stewards. 16:26 – Making the future “feel real” Bill's example of projecting his daughter's milestones to make his future tangible (weddings, timing, costs). 17:16 – Time flies 59½ used to feel far away; now it's in view or in the rear-view. Keep thinking ahead; stay systematic about savings, investing, and health check-ups. 18:02 – Programming note: Pete's new focus This is Pete's last regular Runway Decade episode for a while. He's leaning into exit planning (CEPA) with a new podcast: The Confident Exit. 18:29 – Why exit planning now Background: client exits, Horizon's own acquisitions, and a maturing ecosystem (valuation, legal, tax). Show format returns to guests—experts surrounding business owners. 20:08 – Where to find it HorizonFG.com → Business Exit Planning page; podcast hosted there and on Apple/Libsyn. Three episodes recorded and rolling out. 20:34 – The niche Just like Runway Decade targets 50-somethings, The Confident Exit targets owners with most of their wealth locked in one illiquid asset—the business. Goal: help monetize and design “what's next.” 21:36 – Wrap & contacts Bill: bbush@horizonfg.com, RunwayDecade.com contact box, or HorizonFG.com. Pete: pbush@horizonfg.com; follow his exit-planning articles and podcast clips on LinkedIn and Horizon's site. Safe travels & sign-off. Key Takeaways Early detection saves futures: Get annual baselines and watch the trend (delta), not just “normal ranges.” Decisions are personal: Multiple credible pathways (surgery, radiation, ablation/TULSA-PRO, etc.); choose with your values, facts, and family in mind. Health ↔ wealth: Your wellbeing is a key-person risk to your family and business; plan accordingly. Future-you planning: Use “glimpse of the future” to make timelines, costs, and care needs real. New resource for owners: Check out Pete's The Confident Exit for valuation, legal, tax, and deal-prep insights. Pull Quotes / Sound Bites “Get a baseline on everything—and track the delta.” “Step over the snake: find the problem, choose the path, execute.” “Life goes fast—think ahead: health and wealth both reward early action.” Resources & Links Runway Decade site & contact: RunwayDecade.com Horizon Financial Group: HorizonFG.com → Business Exit Planning The Confident Exit podcast (Pete) — also on Apple/Libsyn Email: Bill — bbush@horizonfg.com | Pete — pbush@horizonfg.com Disclosure The views depicted in this material are for information purposes only and are not necessarily those of Cetera Advisors LLC.

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. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

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.

Episode Summary:Your best client just sold their business for $8 million and calls to say they're moving everything to Goldman Sachs. This devastating scenario happens to 70% of advisors, but Jeff Armstrong has the antidote. As a former business owner who ran a company for 23 years, Jeff reveals the blind spot costing advisors their most valuable relationships. While most advisors focus on managing wealth outside the business, Jeff shows how becoming the expert on your client's largest asset creates unbreakable loyalty. He shares why 97% of business exits disappoint owners and the actions that transform you from replaceable vendor to irreplaceable quarterback.About the Guest:Jeff Armstrong built and ran a laser printer repair company for 23 years before joining Cultivate Advisors. He helps financial advisors avoid losing clients to "big league" competitors by becoming business optimization experts.The Brutal Reality:Devastating Statistics: 50-70% of business owners fire their advisor after liquidity events when investment banks suggest they need "serious players."Hidden Epidemic: Only 30% of businesses attempting to sell complete transactions. Of those that sell, 90% disappoint owners. This means 97% of exits fail expectations.Shared Blind Spot: 99% of business owners cannot answer: What's my business worth? What multiples apply? What drives value? Most advisors share this blindness.The Cultivate Solution:Target Market: Businesses generating $1-15 million annually, matched with former business owner advisors who've successfully exited.Partnership Model: Cultivate functions as team extension, creating "alley-oops" for investment planning and tax strategies as business performance improves.Process: Free business valuation, gap analysis, prioritized roadmap. Owners implement independently or engage ongoing support.Creating "Stickiness":Becoming Irreplaceable: Help optimize their most valuable asset, and Goldman Sachs becomes irrelevant. You're their strategic partner, not just money manager.Personal Trainer Effect: Business owners need accountability and implementation. You become associated with success at the source.CEPA Training Revolution:Implementation Gap: Traditional training provides knowledge without application skills. Cultivate's immersion events bridge this gap.Viral Success: November event sold out after going viral within Edward Jones's 1,400 CEPA network.Implementation Strategy:Start Small: Pilot with one client. Cultivate includes you in calls and provides quarterly reporting.Full Integration: Real-time business metrics create natural wealth management conversations.Connect with Jeff:LinkedIn: Jeff Armstrong  Email: jeffa@cultivateadvisors.com  Website: cultivateadvisors.comBottom line: While other advisors wait for liquidity events, smart advisors help create them and build unbreakable relationships. Claim your free audiobook copy at: www.theshortbookformula.comSupport the show

We'll be diving into the surprising rise of golf carts as everyday transportation. Since the pandemic, the golf cart industry has grown fivefold into a $5 billion market. We'll discuss how communities are making them street legal and why families are trading in SUVs for carts to run errands or cruise around town and contrasting the charm with the frustrations, from traffic slowdowns to unsafe driving by teens and even kids.While golf carts weaving through the suburbs are just one example of how technology and convenience can disrupt the guardrails of safety, some people are upset that this “golf cart revolution” is creating roadblocks. And speaking of roadblocks, we all travel a different kind of road every day—the information superhighway—which brings us to our next topic: cybersecurity.Joining us is Mark Hurley, CEO of Digital Privacy & Protection LLC, a company that provides personal digital protection services to the clients of wealth managers throughout the United States and Canada.

 We kick off the show with a look at the week's market action, where a slight uptick in the Consumer Price Index contrasted with a much stronger-than-expected Producer Price Index. With inflation data in focus, markets are now leaning heavily toward the Fed cutting rates at its September meeting. Gen Z is redefining romance, ditching pricey dinners for budget-friendly (and often free) date nights, all while prioritizing savings and paying down debt. But here's the twist: financial stability might just be the ultimate attraction. This week, we'll explore why Gen Z could be the most financially literate generation yet, how cheap dates can still be meaningful, why financial security can be “sexy,” and what it all means for love, independence, and long-term happiness. Meanwhile, Nvidia's explosive rise in the AI chip market has minted millionaires at a jaw-dropping pace as nearly half its employees are reportedly worth more than $25 million. But behind the stock-fueled fortune lies a high-pressure culture some call “golden handcuffs,” where long hours and relentless expectations come with the territory. And speaking of stock compensation, it can be a powerful wealth-building tool, but it's also packed with tricky tax questions. We'll tackle a real-world RSU scenario: If taxes are withheld at grant date, but you won't receive the stock until it vests—and you know you'll retire before some of those shares vest—should you accept them anyway? Or is it smarter to walk away from stock you'll never see? We'll break down how RSUs work, the tax implications, and strategies to consider when your career timeline clashes with your vesting schedule. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

This week on “Henssler Money Talks,” we examine the implications of Donald Trump's firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after the release of weaker-than-expected jobs data. Critics argue the move threatens the credibility of U.S. economic reporting, but are inconsistent readings just a byproduct of the antiquated ways they collect their data and dwindling survey response rates? As the cost of living continues to climb, we break down SmartAsset's latest findings on the salary needed to live comfortably in each U.S. state. From Hawaii's sky-high income thresholds to West Virginia's relative affordability, we explore what these findings mean for individuals, families, and long-term financial planning—especially as median wages fall short of what it now takes to get by.After the break, we turn our focus to annuities, providing our take on these investment products. Furthermore, should a retiree put 25% of their assets into an annuity to help with Required Minimum Distributions? We'll walk through the essential questions to ask, from the type of annuity being recommended to how it fits into a comprehensive financial plan.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Edition No216 | 06-08-2025 - Belarus's New Martial Law Proposal. Today, we unpack Belarus's proposal to expand martial law and what it might mean—not just for Belarus, but for Ukraine, its NATO neighbours, and Europe's beleaguered democracies.In August 2025, Belarus's Defence Ministry submitted a new bill giving it the power to declare martial law not only in the case of aggression against Belarus, but also if Russia or the “Union State”—their supranational alliance—is attacked (The New Voice of Ukraine). As one summary put it, "if, for example, a Ukrainian drone strikes Russian territory, Belarus could legally impose martial law on its own soil".The official justification: Belarus cites threats to the Russian‑Belarusian Union State, an integrated bloc formed in the 1990s to align foreign, economic, and defence policies between Russia and Belarus (UNITED24 Media). Now it's a matter of debate whether Belarus can be considered a sovereign and independent country, given that its policy making is so closely aligned with Kremlin ambitions and intentions. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: * Militarnyi.com, “Belarus Proposes Introducing Martial Law…” (Aug 2025) * NV.ua / RBC.ua, “Belarus may declare martial law…” (Aug 2025) * Belsat.eu, on expanding grounds for martial law * Wikipedia Union State, treaty ratification details March 2025 (Wikipedia)* EUNEWS.eu, EU suspects Belarus behind migrant flows from Libya (Aug 2025)* Maghrebi.org, investigation linking Belarus in Libya migration (Aug 2025)* Wikipedia and other sources on weaponised migration (Wikipedia)* EU records: Frontex stats 2024 rising Belarus route by 192% (Reuters)* Reuters & Politico / Newsweek on Lithuanian drone incidents (Aug 5 2025) * Kyiv Independent on drone carrying explosives* CEPA analysis of Baltic hybrid drone threat ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

This week, we're breaking down several key economic reports, including the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, the first estimate of second-quarter GDP, and the PCE deflator—the Fed's preferred measure of inflation. It's been a data-heavy week, capped by the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting on Wednesday, where policymakers held rates steady and signaled a more cautious outlook on future rate moves.We're also joined by special guest Matthew Reed, CPA/ABV, for a post–tax season debrief. He shares key takeaways from the most recent filing season and walks us through major provisions in the One Big Beautiful Act, passed on July 4, highlighting the potential impact on both individual and business tax planning strategies.Plus, in Part 2 of our Evolution of Payments series, we dive into stablecoins—a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a steady value by being pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar. But if they're backed by dollars, why not just use dollars? We explore what sets stablecoins apart from more volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and why they're gaining traction in the financial world despite their dollar ties.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Koós, CFP®, CMT, CEPA to unpack the foundational mindset shifts that helped him scale to consistent five-figure months—and beyond.They dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with entrepreneurship, the importance of removing pressure from prospecting, and how Adam's internal rewiring around “safety” and “certainty” unlocked massive business growth.You'll hear how Adam went from chasing people for appointments to building a business that now attracts clients regularly, without the desperation and burnout. This conversation is rich with perspective for any financial advisor stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle and ready to grow with more intention, peace, and power.If you're a financial advisor ready to grow your business with more ease, alignment, and predictability, then this is the kind of energy you need to surround yourself with.

What is the Fed, and why does Jerome Powell seem to have Wall Street on speed dial? This week, we unpack the power and purpose of the Federal Reserve—who runs it, who appoints them, and how their decisions ripple through everything from Treasury bonds to your credit card APR. We break down the rates the Fed actually controls (spoiler: it's not all of them) and why those moves matter. Plus, if the Fed is supposed to be independent, why does it feel like politics—especially Trump's calls for lower rates—are always lurking in the background?Next, we ask, “Is the upper middle class having an identity crisis?” We dig into the surprising squeeze on America's “comfortably wealthy.” From overcrowded Amex lounges to bidding wars for average homes, we explore how rising wealth—especially among the top 10%—is making luxury feel less exclusive. We explore what it means for expectations around lifestyle and status, and how the wealth ladder is getting more crowded at the top.In Part 1 of our series on the evolution of payments, we dive into the rise of credit cards and how they reshaped the way we spend. We explore the move toward a cashless society—fueled by digital wallets and tap-to-pay tech—but also spotlight the pushback: small businesses are passing credit card fees onto customers, and even some places going cash-only. So where are we really headed? Is cash dying, or just evolving?Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

With our free valuation calculator, answer a few questions about your business, and you'll get an immediate estimate of the value of your business. You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit -- In this episode of The Exit: Linda Hamilton, a Certified Exit Planning Advisor and longtime CPA, shares practical strategies for business owners preparing for a future exit, emphasizing the importance of readiness, clean financials, and documented systems. Key Takeaways: Exit Planning is About Optionality, Not Just Selling Many business owners avoid thinking about exits too early, but Linda argues that preparing early builds resilience and optionality, not just a path to sell. The Cost of Not Preparing Citing a 30% valuation gap between male and female founders, Linda underscores how lack of preparation—especially around clean books, contracts, and succession—can significantly impact sale outcomes. Readiness vs. Attractiveness Linda encourages using assessments to evaluate both how attractive your business is to a buyer and how ready you are to exit. She shares a story of a founder nearly derailing a deal by not securing key employee agreements. Key Indicators of Exit-Readiness - Critical elements include: Clean, audited financials Signed client/vendor contracts Repeatable and documented systems Cash flow visibility and control over AR/AP Transferability & Systemology As a certified systemologist, Linda highlights the importance of mapping your customer journey and operational systems to ensure the business can run without you—critical for buyer confidence and deal value. Building a Support Team Successful exits rely on coordinated advisors: CPAs, attorneys, brokers, and wealth advisors. A SIPA-certified exit planner often acts as the “quarterback” to align everyone's efforts with the owner's goals. Timing & Purpose Timing an exit is personal. Many owners regret selling too soon because they lack a post-exit purpose. Linda encourages planning for life after the sale as part of the overall exit strategy. Empowering Female Founders Linda advocates for financial fluency and readiness assessments to help women negotiate from a position of strength. Confidence comes from awareness—knowing your numbers, your risks, and your value. Final Advice: Linda wishes she had done her own business readiness assessments earlier in her career, highlighting how early preparation can influence smarter long-term decisions. -- Linda Hamilton is a CPA and CEPA, (Certified Exit Planning Advisor) who is passionate about helping women business owners achieve financial fluency to grow, profit & scale. Linda founded Grow Profit Scale™, a coaching and mastermind program designed to empower women entrepreneurs with financial fluency, profit amplification, and scalable business strategies.

When it comes to money decisions, the numbers don't always win. This week, we're diving into how behavioral finance influences the way we approach big purchases—like buying versus leasing a car or choosing a home that stretches the budget. While one option might make the most sense on paper, your lifestyle, habits, and even emotions may lead you in another direction.If you've been with your car insurance company for 25 years, but switching providers offers better coverage, lower deductibles, and hundreds in savings—what do you do? For many, the emotional weight of loyalty outweighs the financial upside of making a change.Leasing isn't just for cars anymore—it's becoming a business model for everything from HVAC systems to washers, dryers, refrigerators, and water heaters. While leasing can ease upfront costs, it often comes with long-term financial drawbacks. We break down the numbers, compare short- vs. long-term costs, and discuss why lifestyle convenience often trumps financial optimization.Is tapping into your home equity ever a smart investment move? If your potential returns exceed your mortgage rate, maybe—but it's not just a math equation. We examine the behavioral and practical factors: cash flow, interest rates, risk tolerance, and the peace of mind that comes from being debt-free. Plus, what if you already have extra cash—should you invest it or knock down the mortgage?Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

 Three weeks ago, we dug into the details of what pet ownership can cost over the lifetime of a pet; however, those totals didn't include what fines you might get if your pet decides to run wild! We look at some cases of animals on the loose in Atlanta, including pet baboons, buffaloes, and pythons. According to the 2025 Retirement Confidence Survey, 67% of American workers feel confident in their ability to have enough money to live comfortably throughout their retirement, but that confidence is shadowed by deep concerns over potential cuts to Social Security and Medicare. We also explore shifting retirement timelines, rising health care costs, and growing demand for emergency savings solutions within retirement plans. K.C. shares the ins and outs of planning retirement with a pension—and the risks that often go overlooked, such as the lack of inflation protection to reduced survivor benefits and long-term funding concerns.  We will also discuss why some employers are shifting toward hybrid models that include a 401(k) component to help fill the gaps. 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. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

In this episode, we sit down with Justin Wagner, AIF®, Henssler Financial's Director of Business Development, to explore the real value of offering—and participating in—a 401(k) plan. For employers, we discuss the end of traditional pensions and why the shift toward defined contribution plans like the 401(k) makes sense today. Justin explains how company contributions are tax deductible, how a strong plan can enhance your ability to attract and retain top talent, and how it can make your company more appealing by demonstrating a commitment to employees' long-term financial wellness.On the employee side, we break down how contributions can reduce taxable income, the benefits of employer matching, the advantages of tax-deferred growth, and current annual contribution limits. Plus, we address some of the most common myths and misconceptions that prevent people from fully maximizing this powerful retirement tool.Whether you're an employer considering a plan or an employee looking to make smarter retirement decisions, this episode has something for you.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.
