In this episode of Simple But Not Easy, we're joined by Ryan Murphy, Morningstar's Global Head of Behavioral Insights, to explore how financial advisors can help clients set better goals, avoid costly mistakes, and build lasting trust. We discuss why goals—not asset allocation or stock selection—should be the true starting point of an investment journey, and how a simple multi-step framework can uncover what really motivates clients. Ryan also shares insights from Morningstar's Mind the Gap study, which shows how investor behavior often drags down returns, and explains how advisors can reframe conversations from performance to progress. If you want to better understand what drives investor decisions and how advisors can make the biggest difference, this episode is for you.

What separates lawyers who struggle from those who thrive? In this special Part 2 of Be That Lawyer Live, you'll discover how our guests integrate authenticity, focus, and thought leadership into their daily practice to create long-term growth. You'll hear how staying true to yourself, choosing opportunities wisely, and turning passions into professional strengths can open unexpected doors. This is not about chasing quick wins—it's about building a practice that's sustainable, rewarding, and deeply connected. Lean in, because what you'll hear today will challenge how you see your career and your future. In this episode, Steve, Tina, John, and Leslee discuss:The importance of authenticity in building and sustaining client relationshipsBalancing personal life, career demands, and business development commitmentsCreative strategies for leveraging events, panels, and thought leadershipMaintaining consistency and momentum in rainmaking efforts over the long term Key Takeaways:Sharing authentic parts of who you are—whether it's your passions, personal stories, or even hobbies—creates deeper connections with clients and colleagues, making business development feel more natural and sustainable.Learning to say “no” to opportunities that don't align with your goals or values is just as critical as saying “yes,” because it protects your time, energy, and ability to excel in the areas that truly matter.Positioning yourself as a thought leader through speaking on panels, moderating events, and writing articles not only demonstrates expertise but also consistently attracts the right kind of clients and referrals.Long-term success in rainmaking comes from treating business development as an ongoing habit integrated into daily life, rather than a separate task, so it becomes part of who you are and how you work. "Bottom line, listen. You have to listen to what people are saying… because that is how you end up developing an authentic relationship." —  Tina Martini "You can't underestimate the trust factor here, the likability factor here, the authenticity factor here… when somebody trusts you and believes in you to such a degree that you can handle their legal matters all under one roof." —  John Sciaccotta "If someone invites you to an event, go… if someone wants you there, be there… and then for me, the biggest thing… is just constant giving. And I'm really, I'm not even like, this is authentically me… always thinking about how to help someone else.

What if the fastest way to grow your business was simply…asking? Referrals aren't just nice to have–they're the most trusted and efficient way to land new clients. But most business owners either forget to ask or are concerned about appearing too pushy. This week, we're joined by Brandon Barnum, CEO of HOA.com and author of Raving Referrals. After growing his income 10X in only 18 months by mastering referrals, Brandon now helps business owners grow through genuine relationships, strategic partnerships, and repeatable systems. How to Ask for Referrals Without Feeling Salesy Brandon shares a simple 3-step framework you can start using right now. You'll learn how to set the stage early in a client relationship, spot the moments when people are primed to refer you, and ask in a way that feels natural and service-led. If you've ever hesitated to ask, this conversation will show you exactly how to do it confidently. How to Make Referrals a Core Part of Your Business If you want consistent referrals (don't we all?), Brandon walks through the systems and habits that keep your brand top of mind. From building your personal “Top 50” referral list to using simple co-marketing strategies with trusted partners, you'll learn how to create a referral engine that keeps working in the background, without adding to your daily workload. Enjoy this episode with Brandon Barnum… Soundbytes 16:11 - 16:24 “Find people that are serving your perfect prospects every day. They're already talking to the people that you want to help, and what you want to do is package yourself as the solution to their challenges.” 20:28 - 21:12 “There's three places that you get your business and referrals. Number one, your clients. Number two is your social sphere, and that's everybody on social media. It's also everybody that's in your phone…and number three, professionals and businesses that serve your perfect prospects every day. I call that complimentary businesses.” 08:59 - 09:12 “Step one is set the stage. Step two is to listen for the referral triggers, and then step three is to A, S, K, to G, E, T. You got to ask the right way at the right time when someone is a peak referral state” Quotes “84% of B2B sales start with a referral. So if you're selling to business owners, you better be working by referral.” “When someone's referred to you, they're 400% more likely to hire you.” “The biggest gap that I see when it comes to referrals is that people don't ask for them.” “People don't refer you because they want to help you. They refer you because they want to help solve the challenge of someone else.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://ravingreferrals.com/ Connect with Brandon Barnum on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonbarnum/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?  Contact us here: https://thebrandid.com/contact-form/
