In this episode, Ronn and Mike answer two questions sent in by listeners: 1) After the resurrection, NT writers rarely refer to Jesus simply by the name "Jesus" without attaching a title such as "Lord," "Christ," or "Jesus Christ." Is referring to Jesus without a title unintentionally minimizing early Christian confession about its messiah? 2) The story of 1 Kings 22, in which a spirit is sent by Yahweh to lie to Ahab's prophets, seems to imply that created gods have the ability to manipulate or obstruct human freedom. Is this story teaching this, and are there any other OT passages which teach this?

Geopolitical tensions flared over the weekend as military strikes involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran sent shockwaves through global headlines. But how did markets actually respond? We break down the reaction across energy prices, defense stocks, travel shares, and inflation expectations — and what investors should watch in the weeks ahead.Moments like these often raise the same question: what does this mean for my portfolio? Looking at historical data from past geopolitical crises, we discuss how the S&P 500 has typically behaved during periods of uncertainty, why short-term volatility can look very different from long-term outcomes, and how investors can stay grounded by focusing on discipline rather than prediction.Then we turn to the growing conversation around artificial intelligence and jobs. After Block announced significant layoffs with CEO Jack Dorsey pointing to AI as a key driver, we explore whether AI is truly replacing that much human capital — or if other business realities like a weak crypto market, past hiring trends, and stock performance may also be influencing the decision.Finally, Managing Associate Melanie Wells joins the show to discuss what earning the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® designation adds to financial planning during divorce. Using a real-world style case study, we examine how retirement accounts, pensions, stock options, real estate, and even debt are evaluated — and why in divorce planning, “fair” doesn't always mean “equal.”Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie

In this episode, Carl reflects on the stories we instantly tell about money—especially when it comes to visible signs of consumption, like homes and cars. A passing glance at someone's lifestyle can trigger assumptions about success, character, or values, even though we rarely know the real story behind the purchase. Carl turns the lens on himself, noticing how quickly narrative creeps in, and asks a deeper question: What stories does our own spending tell, and how often are we projecting incomplete stories onto others? It's a thoughtful exploration of money, identity, and the invisible narratives we carry around every day.Want more from Carl? Get the shortest, most impactful weekly email on the web!

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie

In this episode, Carl explores one of the hardest kinds of decisions: choosing between two genuinely good options. When every meaningful "yes" contains a painful "no," the tension isn't about right versus wrong—it's about trade-offs. Sharing a simple but piercing question from Christy Raines—“Who do I want to disappoint?”—Carl unpacks how every decision has a shadow, whether it's a client, a family member, or your future self. The choice may not become easier, but it often becomes clearer. Because the real work isn't avoiding tradeoffs—it's deciding, intentionally, which ones you're willing to carry.Want more from Carl?

Budgeting Series #2: A Guide to Money Mindset Shifts

Mission Driven Business

Money isn't just math and for most entrepreneurs, it never has been. In this episode, Brian Thompson continues the budgeting series with part two: acceptance. Building on the awareness foundation laid in the first episode, Brian explores the emotional side of budgeting and why looking at your numbers without shame or judgment is just as important as looking at them at all.   Why Financial Acceptance Is the Missing Piece Once you have your numbers, you're naturally going to have feelings about them. Money is tied to your upbringing, your fears, your identity, and your sense of security. Brian sees it constantly in his client work: people come to meetings with shame, and leave relieved when they don't get one. So many entrepreneurs carry money baggage — internalized messages from family, society, and past financial mistakes. The inner critic says you should have started sooner, charged more, or be further along by now. Acceptance means pausing that voice and recognizing that wherever you're starting from is exactly the right place to begin.   Five Money Mindset Shifts to Practice Brian outlines five concrete shifts to help entrepreneurs face their finances with curiosity and compassion instead of guilt and defensiveness. Replace judgment with curiosity. Instead of shaming yourself for a spending decision, ask what was going on in your life or business that made it feel necessary at the time. Recognize your defensiveness. Money touches on security and identity, so defensiveness is normal, but it can keep you from learning. When you notice it, pause and breathe. Know your money story. What did you learn about money growing up? What beliefs are you still carrying that may no longer serve you? Bringing them into the light is the first step to releasing them. Practice self-compassion. Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself about money? Probably not. Give yourself the same grace. Remember that facing it doesn't require shame, just courage and kindness. You can't change what you don't face, but you don't have to face it harshly.   The Power of Finally Exhaling Some of Brian's most meaningful client moments happen in budget sessions. Not because the numbers are great, but because clients finally feel seen and understood. Some have broken down in tears, not from devastation, but from relief. The fear and avoidance they'd been carrying for years turns out to be heavier than the numbers themselves. As Brian puts it, you can't build something beautiful on a foundation of shame.

Life choices that fall outside the traditional script can expose weaknesses in systems built on long-standing assumptions. When marriage, children and default heirs are not part of the picture, planning must adapt or risk unintended consequences. In this episode of Celebrity Estates, Senior Editor David Lenok explores the estate of Coco Chanel alongside Dr. Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP, founder and CEO of Childfree Wealth. Their discussion centers on how outdated legal frameworks intersect with modern family structures, why capacity and undue influence claims arise in high-profile estates, and what happens when significant wealth is directed outside bloodlines. Jay outlines how childfree and permanently childless adults face unique estate and long-term care considerations, why powers of attorney and fiduciary appointments are critical, and how a “die with zero” philosophy can reshape retirement and legacy strategies. Join David Lenok and Dr. Jay Zigmont as they unpack the estate planning lessons behind nontraditional family structures and the importance of aligning financial systems with evolving life paths. Key takeaways: Why 25% of U.S. adults identify as childfree or permanently childless How estate law assumptions can create guardianship and inheritance risks Why many professionals suggest evaluating powers of attorney by midlife Why “die with zero” planning challenges traditional AUM models How advisors can adapt systems to better serve nontraditional families Resources: Listen to Celebrity Estates on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Spotify Trust and Estates Magazine Connect With David Lenok: david.lenok@informa.com  Wealth Management LinkedIn: David Lenok LinkedIn: Informa LinkedIn: Wealth Management Connect With Jay Zigmont: LinkedIn: Jay Zigmont Website: Childfree Wealth Website: Childfree Trust About Our Guest: Dr. Jay Zigmont is on a mission to help people without kids live their best lives, with the plan and finances to support it.

As you approach retirement, the questions shift. It's no longer just “How much have I saved?” It becomes, “When do I want the freedom to retire?” “How much risk do I really need to take?” And perhaps most importantly — “What is my money for?” Today, I'm joined by financial planner Zach Morris for a candid conversation about risk tolerance versus risk capacity, sequence of return risk, working one more year, helping family, and why having a 100% probability of financial success might actually mean you're leaving life on the table. If you're within five years of retirement — or wondering whether you're truly ready — this episode will help you think differently about risk, purpose, and pulling the trigger.

In this episode, Mardi Winder talks with Jamie Lima, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Certified Financial Planner, and mediator, to discuss the complexities of money during divorce and how financial concerns can influence decisions both before and during the process. Jamie brings a personal and professional perspective, sharing his own story of navigating divorce and how those early experiences shaped his career and approach to financial planning.Throughout their conversation, they explore why having a diverse team of professionals, including financial planners, divorce strategists, attorneys, and, at times, forensic accountants, is essential to achieving clarity and support during such a challenging transition. Jamie notes the common pitfalls of expecting attorneys to cover every aspect and encourages building what he calls "Team You," where specialists collaborate for the best outcome. The discussion highlights the value of understanding one's financial options, preparing relevant documents, and using supportive resources wisely, especially as emotions can interfere with decision-making.They also touch upon the evolution of collaborative divorce formats and how emerging technology, like AI-assisted financial analysis, is making asset tracing more accessible and affordable. Jamie generously shares details about free and practical resources, including budgeting worksheets and online tools, aimed at empowering listeners with knowledge as they plan or move through divorce.This episode offers not only practical steps but also reassurance for anyone feeling overwhelmed,reminding listeners that thoughtful preparation, education, and the right support system can help ease the process and set the foundation for a brighter financial future after divorce.About the Guest:Jamie Lima:I grew up in a family that always seemed to have money challenges, especially after my parents divorced when I was very young.They tried incredibly hard, but I knew, even as a small child that it was rough on them.That led me to a career in finance as I wanted to learn and understand how to better support myself and my future family.After going through an incredibly difficult divorce myself, I decided to become a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and founded Allegiant Divorce Solutions to help others better prepare for, navigate, and recover financially from divorce.I promised myself early on that I would do whatever was required to ensure that my clients never felt the same struggles related to money that I did growing up, and through my divorce. After over 20 years of experience, I really love helping clients make important financial decisions and making the puzzle pieces ‘fit' for them. But I also noticed a need in the Divorce space. The software we are using is antiquated, and I knew there had to be an easier way. That led me to build SecureSplit. SecureSplit Pro helps divorce professionals organize their cases in an easy-to-use and modern layout. I also created quick calculators to help consumers that are unable to work with professionals, SecureSplit Essentials.Outside of work my wife, Dawn, and I spend a lot of time in our Jeep off-roading, traveling the country in our RV, and trying to keep up with our 5 (yes, 5!) kids.For Jamie's gift: https://allegiantds.com/resourcesTo connect with Jamie: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamielima/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allegiantdivorce/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@allegiantdivorceFacebook: www.facebook.com/groups/preparingfinanciallyfordivorce/About the HostMardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Budgeting doesn't have to be intimidating, but it does have to be intentional. In this episode, Brian Thompson kicks off a brand new solo series on budgeting for entrepreneurs, approaching the topic through three lenses: awareness, acceptance, and action. The episode is the first and most foundational step: Awareness. Whether you're a new business owner or a seasoned mission-driven entrepreneur, understanding where your money is actually going is the starting point for everything else.   Why Financial Awareness Comes First Every January, Brian's inbox fills up with clients asking to connect about their budgets. It's a ritual he takes seriously in his own life too. This time of year offers a rare advantage: a full year of real data and a fresh set of goals. Before you can make smart decisions about where you're headed, you need an honest look at where you've been.    A Three-Step Framework for Financial Awareness To get there, Brian walks through three concrete steps: tracking your income, reviewing your expenses, and understanding your cash flow.   Track Your Income The foundation of financial awareness is tracking. You can't manage what you don't measure. Start by understanding exactly where your money is coming from. Break down income by client, look at the consistency of your monthly revenue, and identify any seasonal patterns. That data doesn't just inform your budget; it shapes your marketing, hiring, and service delivery decisions too.   Review Your Expenses Next, take a deep dive into your expenses to gain clarity. Ask yourself which expenses align with your values, which help you grow, which are essential to serving clients, and which could be eliminated or renegotiated.    Understand Your Cash Flow Cash flow keeps your business alive. Ask yourself: Are you regularly dipping into savings or credit cards to cover operations? Do you have a cash reserve for emergencies? Are you paying yourself a regular profit distribution? If cash flow feels tight, it may be time to revisit your pricing, your payment terms, or the consistency of your revenue streams.   Tools to Make Financial Awareness Easier QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave are great for automated tracking and categorization, or Excel and Google Sheets for a more hands-on approach. Tune in as Brian previews the Profit First Framework — a method of allocating funds into key buckets like profit, taxes, and owner's pay — which will get a deeper treatment in the action episode. His biggest tip? Hire a bookkeeper. Bookkeeping is too important to keep pushing to the back burner, and editing someone else's work is always easier than starting from scratch.   Your action step  Set aside 60 minutes this week to review your income and expenses from last year. Use whatever tool works for you, and look for patterns, surprises, and opportunities. If you're feeling brave, share one insight with Brian on Instagram at @BTFinancial. In the next episode, the series continues with acceptance — letting go of shame and judgment around money so you can focus on what you can actually control.   Resources + Links QuickBooks, Xero, Wave Newsletter Sign Up Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes Follow & review the podcast: on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP®, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

February 21, 2026: AI Expectations, Investor Bias, and the Future of SavingIt may feel like an uninspiring start to the year, but the S&P 500 is still positive year-to-date. In this week's market update, we look beneath the surface at a rotation away from the mega-cap leaders toward broader participation across the market. We'll also examine why parts of the technology sector—particularly software—have come under pressure as expectations around AI spending and growth continue to evolve.Private markets were once the domain of pension funds and institutions writing $25 million checks. That's changing. We explore how private equity, real estate, and infrastructure are becoming more accessible to individual investors through interval and evergreen funds, digital platforms, and evolving regulations that are widening the door. What does this democratization really mean—and where should investors be cautious?In a recent Wall Street Journal article, a twentysomething recently said she feels her money is safer in the stock market than in a house. That raises an important question: Are we conditioning a generation to believe markets only go up? We step back and discuss how lived experience shapes investment behavior—from Boomers who remember double-digit inflation, to Gen X and the dot-com bust, to Millennials and the housing crash, and Gen Z's era of rapid recoveries and tech-driven growth.And finally, if you're saving 18% into your 401(k) and thoughtfully splitting between traditional and Roth, you're doing a lot right. But when does it make sense to add an IRA — and should that ever come at the expense of your 401(k)? We break down contribution limits, tax diversification, investment flexibility, and fees, and how an IRA can complement a workplace plan.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Julie Austin and Matthew Cain share their journey in leveraging their military backgrounds to assist veterans in transitioning to entrepreneurship through their podcast Dogtags to Ownership. We explore the definition of mission-driven businesses, the importance of community & networking, and the personal experiences that shaped their call to service. The discussion also touches on the significance of identity, the challenges faced during the Don't Ask, Don't Tell era and how their backgrounds influence their current endeavors. The episode concludes with insights on partnership dynamics and key takeaways for aspiring entrepreneurs.   The Essence of a Mission-Driven Business   Julie defines a mission-driven business as one that embodies a deep sense of purpose and passion. It's not just about making profits; it's about waking up every day with a drive to make a difference. Both Julie and Matt share a commitment to helping veterans transition into fulfilling careers, which their podcast serves a vital role in. They help veterans find meaningful work instead of merely passing time in jobs that don't inspire them. A mission-driven business must not only fulfill its owner's passion but also create a positive impact in the community.   Lessons from Military Service   Julie and Matt share their experiences in the military, which have profoundly influenced their understanding of leadership and community service. In this episode they discuss how the skills and values learned during their service translate effectively into the business environment. For instance, the ability to lead diverse teams and navigate complex situations is invaluable for entrepreneurs looking to make a difference.   Finding Purpose Through Adversity   The discussion also touches on the challenges veterans face during their transitions. Julie candidly shares her experience with the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, which was a significant barrier for many LGBTQ service members. She reflects on the internal struggle of being true to oneself while serving in the military. However, the repeal of this policy allowed for greater openness and inclusion, fostering a more supportive environment for veterans today. This change parallels the mission-driven ethos of creating spaces where individuals can be authentic and contribute their best selves.   The Importance of Community and Connection   Emphasis on the importance of community was a big theme in our discussion. Their mission is to connect veterans with valuable resources and mentorship opportunities that can help them thrive in the civilian world. By sharing experiences and knowledge, they create a supportive network that empowers veterans to pursue their passions and make meaningful contributions.   Resources + Links Newsletter Sign Up DogTags to Ownership: Website, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes Follow & review the podcast: on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP®, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

With over two decades of experience in the financial industry, Jeff specializes in guiding business owners through complex transitions—from business exits to legacy planning. He works primarily with entrepreneurs and multi-generational family businesses, particularly in manufacturing and healthcare sectors throughout the Midwest. His expertise includes tax-efficient wealth strategies, estate structuring, values-based investing, and helping families navigate the challenging conversations around succession planning. Jeff is known for his practical approach to transforming business liquidity into lasting family legacies while addressing the often-overlooked emotional and relational dynamics that can make or break generational wealth transfer.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, Jonathan Goldhill is joined by Jeffrey Condren, a certified financial planner with extensive experience in wealth management and advising multi-generational families. They explore why secrecy often leads to entitlement, the pitfalls of striving for fairness over equality, and the critical need for early and transparent conversations about values, expectations, and the realities of running a family business. They emphasize that successful generational transitions require exposing heirs to responsibility and decision-making early on. The episode also covers the nuances of assigning business roles to family members, handling business valuations realistically, and the importance of external mediation to navigate complex family dynamics.KEY TAKEAWAYSSuccessful families surface conflict early and structure it, rather than avoiding itFair and equal are not the same thing in family business transitionsExposing the next generation to business realities early prevents friction laterFirst-generation business owners struggle most with letting go of controlBusiness valuations should be updated every 1-2 years, not left for 7+ yearsDepression-era children often feel they never have "enough" money, regardless of actual wealthSuccession planning takes years, not months - there's no light switch solutionThe earlier difficult conversations happen, the smoother the transitionQUOTES"Successful families do not eliminate conflict.

It is very different for a lot of people, and it's a very hard conversation to have, and there's no right or wrong answer.""Getting a business owner to think about their future self not involving the business... takes time.

If Netflix or Spotify doubled their price tomorrow, would you really cancel—or would you grumble and keep paying? In this conversation, we use subscription services we all rely on to explain a powerful investing concept: pricing power. We'll break down why some companies can raise prices without losing customers, what that tells us about their business models, and why pricing power matters when evaluating long-term investments—especially in an inflation-conscious world.Big Tech is opening the checkbook for AI. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft are on track to spend nearly $650 billion in 2026 alone, even if it means taking a hit to free cash flow today. We'll unpack why this spending surge is happening, where the money is going, and what it could mean for earnings, valuations, and investors navigating the AI boom. In this week's Market Segment, we break down sector performance across the S&P 500 amid heightened volatility in software stocks, driven largely by renewed concerns over AI's disruptive impact. We also zoom out to examine how AI is influencing industries more broadly, and what a healthy market rebalance across sectors could signal for investors. Plus, we discuss the growing gap between consumer sentiment and actual economic activity and take a closer look at January's employment data to see what it may mean for the path ahead.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie

In this episode, Carl walks through the second step of purpose-based planning: turning purpose into goals. Rather than asking clients to name goals out of thin air, he explains how goals naturally grow out of conversations about what matters, giving people permission to relax, guess, and explore without false precision. Carl shows how to frame, prioritize, and rank goals based on what's truly at stake for each client, reminding us that goals are provisional, flexible, and meant to clarify direction, not lock anyone into a rigid plan.Want more from Carl?
