Dylan opens from an echo chamber (literally) and the guys kick around first impressions of Gulfstream's newly announced G300 versus the G280—windows, avionics, “longest cabin,” and whether depreciation and warranty keep the new-metal carousel spinning. Mailbag hits everything from those mysterious skid marks on SNA 20R and whether an RJ type helps more than becoming a check instructor, to Phoenix haboobs, GA commuting from the islands, and a listener swag request. Flight Advice: a 40-year-old “late bloomer” with 1,600 TT/500 multi weighs fractionals vs. regionals; Dylan and Max lay out a strategy heavy on networking, patience, and targeted moves. Plus: disc golf as the stealth layover hack and a quick ode to SAN's shiny new terminal vibes.

Award-winning CFP® Professional and Women and Wealth Authority Cary Carbonaro shares her remarkable, decades-long journey through the financial industry, shattering the glass ceiling. Carbonaro reveals the bold, decisive moves that shaped her career, including walking away from a half-million-dollar Wall Street salary after 9/11, quartering her income, and ultimately choosing to build her own multimillion-dollar financial planning practice from scratch. She talks candidly about the challenges of operating as a woman in a male-dominated industry, detailing the effects of implicit bias and the constant need for resilience. Her personal story—from a high-stakes divorce that inspired her first book to a toxic corporate sale that sparked her second—delivers a powerful message. Finally, and notably, as the first woman on the NASDAQ Advisor Council, she advocates for the power of the ask, arguing that women must stop waiting to be noticed or rewarded and instead become 100% responsible for their financial future to close the wealth gap.   The Power of Self-Nomination: Carbonaro confidently “threw her hat in the ring” to become the first woman on the NASDAQ Advisor Council, proving the importance of asking for a seat at any table rather than waiting for an invitation. Career Reinvention & Independence: Hear why she quit a high-earning NYC job, quartered her salary, and built her own firm, illustrating that true wealth requires building your own platform and never settling for less. Resilience in a Male-Dominated Industry: A candid look at the implicit and unconscious bias women face in finance, stressing that resilience is the essential, non-negotiable trait needed to succeed. Lemons to Lemonade: Hear how she calls on deeply personal, difficult experiences—a multi-million-dollar divorce and a toxic corporate sale—as the motivation to write her best-selling books and share crucial lessons with the world. Important Links:Savvy LadiesPrecious Williams' LinkedInLisa Zeiderman's LinkedInCary Carbonaro's LinkedIn Important Links for Cary:Cary Carbonaro's Website Cary's Women and Wealth Book About Cary Carbonaro:Cary Carbonaro is an award-winning Certified Financial Planner™ with over 25 years of experience.

Why You Can't Miss This Episode Are you confident your wealth will stand the test of time? Or are you leaving your financial legacy vulnerable? This episode of Inspired Money takes you beyond basic portfolio talk and into practical wealth preservation strategies, from smart investing and tax planning to estate protection and next-gen philanthropy. With a powerhouse panel of financial experts, you'll learn real-world tactics to keep your money working for you, avoid costly mistakes, and build lasting financial resilience. Whether you're growing a nest egg or planning your retirement, this episode delivers the tools to protect what you've built and create a legacy that lasts.  Meet the Expert Panelists Dana Anspach, CFP®, RMA®, is the founder and CEO of Sensible Money. She's dedicated her career to helping people create sustainable retirement income plans. She's the author of “Control Your Retirement Destiny” and “Social Security Sense.” Dana's hands-on experience makes her a wealth of practical knowledge. https://www.sensiblemoney.com Jacqueline Schadeck, CFP®, AWMA®, is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, author, and speaker who helps individuals and families achieve financial clarity and build generational wealth. Inspired by her own family's experience with poor financial advice, she combines education, comprehensive planning, and community service to empower others toward long-term financial success. https://goldenws.com Kemberley “Kemcents” Washington, CPA, is a tax expert, journalist, and former IRS agent with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and communities navigate taxes and personal finance. A frequent contributor to Forbes Advisor and national media outlets like Good Morning America 3 and Fox Business, she is also the author of several books, including The Ten Commandments to Financial Healing and It All Starts with a Budget. https://www.kemberley.com Key Highlights 1. Rethinking the 60/40 Portfolio Dana Anspach challenges the traditional portfolio model, highlighting the need for personalized risk management: “It all comes down to being really clear on how you define risk… That's going to lead to different portfolio strategies that best protect against that risk.” From alternatives to ETFs, understanding your personal timeline and goals is key to crafting a resilient investment plan. 2. Modern Estate Planning Matters Kemberley Washington emphasizes staying on top of tax law changes and setting up basic legal documents, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, before moving to advanced strategies like donor-advised funds. Jacqueline Schadeck warns: “My fear is that everyone… is part of the 70% of Americans that don't actually have any estate documents in place.” Estate planning isn't optional. It's essential. 3. Business Entity & Asset Protection Simplified Entrepreneurs and investors risk everything when they mix personal and business assets. Dana Anspach shares: “You meet the wrong person at the wrong time and you never know what's going to happen… there may be simpler ways to get asset protection in place without the additional complexity.” Work with both a CPA and attorney to align legal structures, taxes, and retirement planning for maximum protection. 4. Next-Gen Philanthropy & Sustainable Investing Today's investors want more than returns—they want impact. From ESG investing to donor-advised funds, philanthropy offers tax efficiency, legacy building, and social good. Kemberley Washington notes: “More and more are not only thinking about ESG, but giving more impactful—maybe to a church, tithes, and different things of that nature.” Take Action: Protect Your Wealth Today My challenge to you this week: choose one area of your finances that feels exposed and commit to addressing it. Maybe that means calling your financial planner, researching asset protection strategies, or finally scheduling that estate planning meeting you've been putting off. Don't wait for the “perfect time.” Small steps now prevent big regrets later.

Alan shares the real estate deal that changed everything for him—a $235,000 starter home purchased in 2015 that became the springboard for building a portfolio of rental properties, Airbnbs, and duplexes. What started with a $10,000 loan from a life insurance policy turned into a wealth-building strategy that leveraged equity, rental income, and HELOCs to create long-term financial freedom. We dive into: How Alan used whole life insurance to fund his first real estate deal Turning one property into multiple rentals and Airbnbs The role of passive income (and why real estate isn't always truly passive) Using leverage and syndications to grow wealth How real estate fits into an overall financial plan Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, an aspiring real estate investor, or someone looking to expand your portfolio, Alan's story is a powerful example of how one deal can truly change your life.

In lieu of a regular show, McNamara on Money is taking a pause this week to honor and remember one of our own: Kirk Buchanan Reed—known to many as “Duke” or “K Money.” Kirk was a Certified Financial Planner practitioner at McNamara Financial Services in Marshfield. After a brave and tough three-year battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully on August 29, 2025—his 45th birthday. Kirk spent 20 years with McNamara Financial and was a regular, trusted voice on this program. If you've listened to the show, you knew he was sharp, thoughtful, and always ready with a good story or a laugh. And if you knew him personally, you knew he had a huge heart and a serious love for great music. His loss is deeply felt by all of us—his family, friends, clients, and listeners. Kirk was born in Barberton, Ohio, in 1980. After graduating from Villanova University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, he found his true calling as a Financial Advisor with McNamara Financial. He never met a golf course, bowling alley, or IPA he didn't like, and he was known for his quick wit, generosity, and thoughtful nature. He is survived by his children Myla (15), Callie (14), and Arden (12), their mother Alyssa, his parents Michael and Brenda, his sister Stacey, and his companion MaryEllen and her children Jace, Skye, and Meadow. His presence in their lives—and in ours—will never be forgotten. The Reed family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Cancer Research Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. You can find the link for contributions in the show notes. Kirk's wit, kindness, and friendship shaped not only this show but the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We are grateful for the time we shared, and we will carry his memory with us in the episodes to come. We'll return next week with our regular programming. For now, we invite you to join us in remembering Kirk, in keeping his family in your thoughts, and in celebrating a life well-lived. https://www.bidmc.org/research/research-centers/cancer-research-institute

S1Ep247 Leadership and Wealth Management Strategies with Paul Carroll

The Business Growth Show

Wealth management is often seen as a numbers game—assets under management, returns, tax exposure—but for Paul Carroll, it's always been about people first. As the CEO and founder of Avion Wealth, Carroll has spent nearly two decades building a firm that redefines what it means to serve high-net-worth individuals and families. With a philosophy rooted in trust, leadership, and strategic clarity, he has grown Avion Wealth into a firm that manages over $850 million in assets, while maintaining a deep personal connection to clients and team members alike. Carroll's approach to wealth management was shaped by his early life experiences—arriving in the U.S. at 17 with just $200, joining the Air Force to fund his education, and eventually earning degrees from the University of Maryland and Texas A&M. That grit and resourcefulness laid the groundwork for a professional path that would favor clarity over complexity, service over sales. Rather than adopting the standard broker-dealer model, Carroll built Avion Wealth around a consultative framework designed to deliver holistic financial planning that aligns with clients' evolving goals and values. A central theme of Carroll's leadership is the development of a self-managing team. He's the first to admit he didn't know everything when he started out, but his drive to learn—paired with an unwavering curiosity—helped him grow both as a leader and a strategist. He believes firmly in the idea that the people who get you to one level of success may not be the same ones who take you to the next. That's why hiring, mentorship, and team development are non-negotiable components of his wealth management philosophy. Surrounding himself with A-players has allowed him to shift his role from day-to-day management to visionary leadership, which continues to propel the firm forward. For business owners and executives navigating their own financial journeys, Carroll's message is clear: complexity doesn't equal effectiveness. In fact, one of his biggest lessons came during the 2008 financial crisis, when a strategy designed to attract a niche market completely missed the mark. Instead of folding, Carroll pivoted quickly—realigning his firm's focus on the types of clients who truly valued their model. That flexibility, paired with a willingness to act and adjust, has become a defining element of his wealth management strategy. Ford Saeks, a longtime business strategist and host of Fordify LIVE, highlights the importance of this kind of mindset. Whether you're leading a financial advisory firm, a franchise system, or a high-growth startup, the principles are the same. Leadership isn't about knowing everything—it's about creating an environment where growth, curiosity, and clear execution thrive. Saeks often emphasizes that business success is built on systems, people, and positioning—three areas where Carroll's leadership offers a practical blueprint. One area where Carroll stands out is his perspective on referrals and business development. Rather than focusing on transactions or outbound marketing, he invests in relationships with centers of influence—accountants, attorneys, and other professionals who trust him enough to introduce their clients. That kind of trust isn't earned overnight. It's built through reputation, results, and the ability to consistently deliver value. Carroll notes that people don't refer others to help you—they refer because they believe you can help someone they care about. In a field where technical knowledge is table stakes, Carroll brings a human-centered lens to wealth management. His firm's success has been shaped not just by financial acumen, but by an ability to listen, lead, and stay aligned with clients' real-world needs. Whether advising on tax strategies, succession planning, or charitable giving, Carroll and his team act less like service providers and more like partners—guiding clients through every stage of growth, transition, and legacy. For professionals looking to elevate their own approach to wealth management—or simply lead with more intention—the takeaways are clear: Build a team that supports your vision. Stay curious. Act before you're ready. And never underestimate the power of meaningful relationships. Watch the full episode on YouTube.
