Podcasts about commissions

Contract work is specifically entering into some kind of agreement, where someone is paying you for your comic-related skills. It can be a simple illustration commission that you draw for someone in a day, or it can be something long-term that spans years and years. Today we're going to talk about how you can incorporate contracts and commissions into your comic work!❓If you have experience with commissions or contracts, what did you wish you knew before you got started with them?

As complaints of insurance mis-selling by banks finally prompt regulatory action, Monika examines the Reserve Bank of India's draft Responsible Business Conduct guidelines and what they could mean for customers. The proposed rules aim to require suitability assessments, explicit consent, and restrictions on coercive sales practices, signalling a shift toward holding banks accountable for putting customer interests ahead of sales targets. Drawing on years of research and documented evidence, she explains how mis-selling has persisted through opaque disclosures, aggressive commissions, and weak enforcement, eroding public trust in the banking system.Monika argues that while the intent of the new rules is welcome, their effectiveness will depend on clear definitions of suitability, independent monitoring, and reforms to the commission structures that incentivise harmful sales. Without these structural fixes, regulation risks becoming symbolic rather than transformative. She also reflects on how banks could instead build long-term, trust-based relationships with customers by offering transparent financial planning and aligning their incentives with household financial security rather than short-term product sales.In listener queries, Vijay Panchal from Ahmedabad asks whether to combine Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana with equity investing for his daughter's future and whether to prioritise NPS or PPF for retirement under the new tax regime; Nitin Gupta from Dehradun seeks clarity on the tax and ownership implications of mutual fund investments held in his minor son's name as he approaches adulthood; and Hemanth Thyagraj from Bangalore asks how to balance home loan prepayments with ongoing mutual fund investing while pursuing long-term financial independence.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) RBI's New Mis-Selling Rules and What They Mean for Bank Customers(00:00 – 00:00) Suitability Framework, Commissions and Fixing Incentives in Financial Product Sales(00:00 – 00:00) SSY vs Index Funds and Choosing Between NPS and PPF(00:00 – 00:00) Managing Mutual Funds Held in a Child's Name After They Turn 18(00:00 – 00:00) Balancing Home Loan Prepayment with Long-Term Investinghttps://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Content/PDFs/01CBDRAFT11022026ADD95448CA7E4662A409F78D829072C7.PDFhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S014759671730046Xhttps://m.rbi.org.in//scripts/Bs_viewcontent.aspx?Id=3370https://youtu.be/q9kmG-443vo?si=IuTsFG9pbFmysTMDhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1E8939c5w16_NIvshQbcUXW1iZtMLJVcS/view?usp=drivesdkIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What does it feel like to work professionally as an artist for 23 years but still feel like you're treading water? In this episode of Art Problems, I speak with Boston-based artist Yuko Oda about joining Netvvrk just over a year ago after graduating from RISD in 2002 and spending two decades feeling confused about her trajectory. She was saying yes to everything, spreading herself too thin, and missing opportunities she should have seized—like a group show in Tokyo where she wasn't happy with the work she submitted. In just over a year, Yuko sold her first major piece directly to a collector, secured a three-piece commission for a downtown Boston high-rise, exhibited work in Rome that she calls her best art experience ever, and learned to set boundaries that protect her momentum. We talk about overcoming hesitation to invest in yourself, how accountability groups helped navigate everything from invoices to artist-consultant contract splits, and what it feels like to finally know where you are on your career path instead of floating like a bubble.

In this episode of The Situation, John and Peter dive into buying strategy for first-time buyers and how real estate commissions really work.   Our first question comes from a first-time buyer wondering whether it's smarter to buy a condo as a stepping stone or stretch for a small house under $1M. John and Peter discuss the pros and cons of each approach and what works best in today's market. Another listener asks how real estate commissions are calculated and whether a more transparent hourly-plus-expenses model could work. They break down where the money goes and why commission structures are set up the way they are. Finally, we explore how recent market shifts and economic uncertainty are affecting Toronto homeowners and their decisions. John and Peter share insights on how to think about risk, timing, and long-term strategy.

If you love making art, but worry that building an art career will burn you out, this episode is for you. Hustle culture is built on productivity and output, but artists don't thrive that way. Creativity needs openness, joy, and space. When you're depleted, you start avoiding the studio, your work feels flat, and you begin doubting yourself. In Episode 141, Jodie breaks down how to design your art career around your real energy levels, not hustle culture. You'll learn how to find your creative rhythms, how to match tasks to high, medium, and low energy, and how time blocking can protect your creativity and help you sustain the long game. Jodie also talks about why scarcity drains artists fast, and how multiple streams can create peace, reduce desperation, and make your work braver. And she calls out the boundary issues that deplete artists the most, including people pleasing, undercharging, and discounting from insecurity.

In this episode, we are joined by Radek of RH3D. Brought to you by Sovol. Get $10-20 OFF on Sovol 3D Printers: https://jle.vi/sovol (use code NEXTLAYER)Radek is the engineer, architect, woodworker, and maker behind RH3D, a project best known in the 3D printing community for breathing new life into aging Ender 3 printers.

His path took him through architecture school, years running a woodworking business, and eventually back to architecture—while continuing to design and develop advanced 3D printer projects part-time under the RH3D name.Whether you're an Ender 3 owner, a maker who loves modding and rebuilding machines, or someone interested in sustainable approaches to 3D printing hardware, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and real-world engineering experience.

South Africa is stuck on 41 out of 100 in the latest Corruption Perceptions Index — and the message is clear: the promises aren't landing. Commissions have come and gone, task teams have been launched, but public trust is still draining away. In this episode, we speak to a representative from Corruption Watch, on behalf of Executive Director Lebogang Ramafoko, to unpack what this score really says about accountability, political will, and whether South Africa is actually serious about turning the tide on corruption.

Commissions in MMA/UFC are the absolute worst. Why aren't these fights overturned already? Bad ref calls, actually cheating with PEDs or flopping. These fights should be overturned immediately, but we know they won't.

We're answering them directly and showing why most criticisms reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what whole life insurance actually is. If you've ever hesitated to explore IBC because something you read online gave you pause, this is the episode for you.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 07:40 – Objection 1: Whole life is a terrible investment 15:45 – Objection 2: The rate of return is terrible 26:35 – Objection 3: You don't break even for years 34:45 – Objections 4 & 5: Why pay interest to borrow my own money? 45:25 – Objection 6: Agents make huge commissions 57:50 – Objection 7: This only works if you're rich 1:02:05 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:It's not an investment—it's savings. Whole life has no risk of loss, which by definition means it's not an investment. It's a savings vehicle with guarantees, privacy, and a death benefit. Stop comparing it to the S&P 500.Rate of return isn't the only metric. The best-performing asset changes depending on your timeframe. Chasing returns is how people buy high and sell low. Wealthy investors prioritize control, understanding, and risk management before rate of return.Policy loans aren't "borrowing your own money." You're borrowing the insurance company's money, collateralized by your cash value. Your money keeps compounding. That's the entire point.Commissions aren't the gotcha people think. If agents wanted easy money, they'd get a securities license and collect 1% AUM fees for life. Whole life is harder to sell and pays less over time than traditional financial advising.Is Infinite Banking a scam? If you've spent five minutes researching IBC online, you've seen the accusations. These objections are everywhere—YouTube comments, Reddit threads, Dave Ramsey clips. They sound convincing. They're also wrong.

JP shares the origin story and business model of his independent publishing house. Key Business Model:* Uses crowdfunding as the primary publishing mechanism* Creates affordable, small-format, beautifully designed books* Minimal upfront investment required from authors* Community-driven support systemOrigin Story: The Pound Project emerged from three motivations: disillusionment with traditional creative industries, the rise of crowdfunding as a viable business model, and a desire to create something sustainable and democratic. JP started by writing and self-publishing his own book, which became the template for the publishing house.Recent Development: JP discusses launching “Tear and Share” - a new initiative supporting artists through gift card-style prints, created in response to declining Instagram reach for visual artists.Key QuotesOn community support: “The creative community amongst writers and artists can be so supportive. If you're willing to ask. And I think that intertwines with that point I'm saying about having a belief in yourself.”On business advice: “Make sure everything is really hot and professional and there's a website and there's a presence before you bring it to market.”On the payment model: “We're giving 50% net profits on any sale post print to the person. So the person actually recoups what they've put in because they're getting 50% of anything they sell.”On Instagram's impact on artists: “I'm like apoplectic about what's happened with social media reach and photography and illustration and art... I don't think I can think of an example of a business biting the hand that has fed them more than what's happened with Instagram.”On Amie McNee new book: “The first book is essentially a manifesto about believing in creativity... kicking off and railing about how we've all been brainwashed into believing that work is what it is. And then the second bit... is actually advice on how to have self-belief, how to build a sustainable community of people who want to support you.” This is a public episode.

That's how Johannes Moser describes the moment the instrument clicked for him and why, decades later, he still loves the daily work most players dread. Our conversation traces his path from messy youth concerts and amateur orchestras to major stages, revealing how real leadership grows when the horn enters early, the violas miss a cue, and the soloist still carries the story.We dig into what actually sustains a modern career: commissions that energize seasons, manuscripts that change how you read the classics, and the habit of talking with audiences as openly as you play. Johannes explains how performers like Casals and Rostropovich expanded the cello's possibilities and how today's social media era risks trading depth for dazzle. His antidote is simple and demanding—feed your inner life with books and theater, cultivate personal relationships that lead to invitations, and practice with curiosity so conviction can bloom on stage.Along the way, Johannes shares why new music keeps Dvorak and Schumann fresh, how shared ownership of premieres strengthens the repertoire, and what “productive doubt” looks like in the practice room. He also offers grounded advice for young players navigating a noisy landscape: value the people in the room over the algorithm, and let your voice—not just your velocity—set you apart. If you're hungry for a clear, human blueprint to grow artistry, connect with listeners, and build a resilient life in music, this conversation will meet you where you are and push you forward.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more musicians can find it.For more information on Johannes Moser: https://www.johannes-moser.com/You can also find Johannes on Instagram and Facebook: @cellistjohannesmoserIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com 

Dr. Chris Murray, IHME, co-chairs the Lancet Commission on 21st Century Global Threats to Health, which will launch its report in February at the Munich Security Conference. It is the “Commission of Commissions,” a novel, highly ambitious three-year effort to forecast what are to be the biggest, most costly problems by taking a broadened non-traditional view. It focuses on 16 factors plus hypertension, each forecast to exact over one billion life years over the next 75 years. These include the familiar big three – pandemics, climate, and conflicts – but includes other factors that rank surprisingly high: education, inequality and low economic growth, obesity, tobacco, and AMR. A wildcard such as malicious use of AI has to be taken into account. “We excluded meteors” and mirror life, the latter too early to include. The Commission calls for a rolling, annualized review, and for higher investment by governments in both promising innovative technological solutions and building better threat-ready health systems.

“The industry has done a phenomenal job in gaslighting us.” Mike Chambers, Founder & CEO, Ridley

In this episode of Talk of Music City Real Estate, CareyAnn and Monte sit down with Jonathan Harris to unpack a radically different way to list and sell homes in today's unpredictable market (2020–2025 and beyond).  Jonathan explains why experience can become a blind spot, why price does NOT equal value, and how his Marketplace Method can help agents get nearly any home under contract in **10–14 days**—without sacrificing client trust or sales price.  You'll hear how strategic starting prices, seller reserve prices, compressed open-house windows, and upfront inspections/appraisals can create transparent competition, more showings, stronger offers, and greater certainty for sellers. If you're listing homes the “old way,” this conversation will challenge everything you've been doing.- **[0:00:01] – Intro & Birthday Moment**    Show opens, hosts re-introduce Talk of Music City Real Estate and wish **Monte** a happy birthday.- **[0:01:43] – Why Jonathan's Back**    Monte explains why Jonathan is one of the “brightest minds” in real estate and why his perspective is needed now.- **[0:03:27] – Experience as a Blind Spot**    Jonathan explains how 20+ years in real estate can *hurt* you if you don't challenge your assumptions.- **[0:04:50] – “Price Doesn't Equal Value”**    Revisiting Jonathan's big idea: the only opinion of value that matters is the buyer who writes the check.- **[0:06:36] – Why Comps Mislead in 2020–2025**    How erratic markets make traditional CMA thinking dangerous for sellers.- **[0:08:40] – List Price as Your #1 Marketing Tool**    Using **20% below perceived value** to drive traffic and why **what gets shown gets sold**.- **[0:10:07] – Re‑Engineering 2021's Crazy Market**    Deconstructing 2021: defined sales process, offer deadlines, maximum showings, underpricing and multiple offers.- **[0:14:31] – Never Sell to the First Buyer**    Why you should avoid quick contracts and instead create a **7–14 day** window for competition.- **[0:18:46] – Transparent Competition & Upfront Inspections**    How pre-listing inspections and clear timelines reduce fallout and renegotiations.- **[0:20:28] – Case Study: From 1.45M Stale to 1.3M Win**    Listing stagnates at **$1.45M**, relists at **$950K**, pulls **81 showings** and nets **$1.3M** with a 7‑day close.- **[0:23:40] – Open-House-Only Strategy & 74/81 Without Agents**    Why Jonathan banned first-week private showings and what happened when most buyers showed up unrepresented.- **[0:30:36] – Using Coming Soon Price Drops to Hit Every Buyer Pool**    Tactical “coming soon” price changes to capture multiple price brackets without archiving reductions.- **[0:35:39] – The Three Phases: Build Demand, Discover Value, Decide**    Jonathan's core Marketplace Method framework for every listing.- **[0:42:30] – Reserve Prices & Seller Control**    What happens when offer numbers don't hit the reserve—and the three options sellers always have.- **[0:47:45] – Commissions, Net to Seller & Letting Buyers Add Agent Fees**    Stripping out buyer-agent commission from list price and focusing on **net to seller**.- **[0:52:05] – Exact Public Remarks Template**    Jonathan shares wording for MLS remarks that spell out process, deadlines, and starting price.- **[0:55:16] – AgentMaker & The Marketplace Method Training**    Jonathan introduces **AgentMaker.com** and his **12‑hour, 300+ slide** training on the Marketplace Method.---We Educate and Motivate All Things Real Estate!Monte Mohr owns Realty One Group Music City and has sold over $1 Billion dollar's worth of real estate and over 3000 homes sold over his 30+ year career!Interested in joining Monte as an agent?www.topagentsuccess.comCarey Ann Cyr manages and operates one of the Top Branches for CMG Financial in Franklin, TN.

Nicki and Mervyn discuss Christmas, Santa Claus, and everything in between.

YouTube for Real Estate changed everything for this couple, and they didn't even start until their late 50s.In this video, I sit down with Stephan and Leslie Gleason to talk about how they used YouTube, Passive Prospecting, and simple real estate videos to build a thriving real estate business in a brand-new market. They didn't know anyone. They didn't have a big sphere. And today, they are the most watched real estate YouTube channel in their area, closing multiple six figures in commissions without Zillow, cold calls, or door knocking.If you've ever wondered whether YouTube for Real Estate actually works, especially in a small market or later in life, this conversation will open your eyes. We talk about what made their channel stand out, how they got their first phone call just days after posting, and why YouTube leads are so different from traditional real estate leads. They share what types of videos worked best, how often they post, and how being real and consistent helped people trust them before ever picking up the phone.This is a real, honest look at how Passive Prospecting works in the real world. No hype. No shortcuts. Just clear proof that YouTube can still work for real estate agents who are willing to follow a proven process and stick with it. If you're thinking about starting YouTube for Real Estate or wondering if it's too late, this video is for you.If you're interested in learning more about YouTube for real estate, we'd love to show you how to build a Passive Prospecting lead-generating machine using YouTube for real estate!

Tom and Don spend this post-Thanksgiving episode dismantling the illusion that big insurance companies—Northwestern Mutual in particular—are “financial advisors” rather than high-pressure sales organizations built on whole-life commissions. Don recounts his own early days as a Dean Witter cold-call cowboy, and the two walk listeners through a damning Guardian investigation revealing recruitment practices, high-pressure quotas, and the wealth-destroying math behind whole life. The phones open to calls about Cambridge's nearly 3% wrap fees, sociopathic insurance sales relatives, term-insurance needs for young families, Roth vs. pre-tax decisions, and how to find a real fiduciary advisor. The theme is consistent: avoid sales machines masquerading as advice, and keep investors from being devoured by the industry's worst incentives. 0:04 Tech glitches, Thanksgiving jokes, and Tom's three-week vacation cadence 1:45 Why this is “not the best-of”—it may be the worst-of 2:26 Don's Dean Witter cold-call origin story and the culture of selling, not advising 3:35 Northwestern Mutual's rebrand and the Guardian investigation 4:08 False promises: “You'll make $200K in three years” 5:12 The cold-calling boot camp and why only one trainee survived (Don) 6:46 Inside the student recruitment pipeline and the friends-and-family harvesting 8:11 Whole life math: the S&P at +3700% vs. Northwestern at +44% 10:50 Why whole life persists: commissions 12:41 Wrap-up of the Guardian findings and the industry's structural sleight-of-hand 16:23 CALL: Cambridge Wealth “index” portfolio with hidden fees 23:14 The reveal: Cambridge's small-account wrap fees approach 3% per year 25:54 CALL: Son-in-law selling insurance, knows it's a ripoff, loves the money 28:55 Thanksgiving family drama and the “sociopath vs. psychopath” riff 29:59 CALL: How much term life insurance should a high-income parent carry? 32:52 CALL (same): Splitting Roth vs. pre-tax contributions when income is high 34:28 CALL: How to find a true fiduciary (and avoid annuity traps) 37:59 The advisor interview form and how to make salespeople disqualify themselves Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThere is a brand-new study being touted in the industry that discusses the state of your commissions/fees since the Sitzer Burnett settlement.  The study by the Consumer Policy Center is eye-opening in the omissions and obfuscations made to reach the predetermined conclusion that real estate agents are doing workarounds in order to preserve pre-settlement commission rates.  Oh, the greed that you must possess for wanting to get paid for your work.The study ignores the new settlement rules in place and places outweighed value on agents trying to maintain status quo instead of following market forces.  The study also suggests that real estate agents, unlike any other profession, should cut commissions and fees simply because it would be good for the consumer!!!!!   Try to get your doctor to cut his fee because it would be good for you.  What a joke!!Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.
