What happens when the worst thing you've ever done becomes the foundation for your life's work?Episode SummaryMy guest on this episode is Tom Hardin, otherwise known as Tipper X. He's been on the show before, but this time we're tackling a different angle.If you don't already know his story, Tom was a rising star in the hedge fund world in his twenties when he became involved in insider trading. Caught by the FBI, he made the decision to cooperate — ultimately becoming one of the most prolific informants in the largest investigation of its kind in U.S. history. His work with the FBI helped secure dozens of convictions, and while his own case remained under seal for years, he eventually chose to speak publicly about what happened — not to excuse it, but to help others understand how good people can make bad decisions.If you haven't heard Tom's first appearance on the show, where he tells that extraordinary story in full, I highly recommend listening to it here before diving into this episode.Because this time, we're not talking about what he did back then; we're talking about what he's done since. Tom has built a powerful second act, using his experience to educate organisations about ethics, decision-making and behavioural risk. He's now delivered over 600 talks, and what fascinates me is how he's turned that into something both impactful and sustainable.His forthcoming book Wired on Wall Street is due out next year, and he'll be back on the show to talk about that. But for now, I wanted to explore what it means to build a career from a cautionary tale. In this conversation, we explore:How Tom built a speaking business around his past without glamourising itThe frameworks he's developed to help companies recognise ethical pressure pointsHow he navigates scepticism, manages reputation, and avoids turning his story into a performanceThe impact he hopes to have, and how he measures itThis is a conversation about vulnerability, professionalism, and doing good with what you've learned the hard way. Whether you're in compliance, leadership, education, or just curious about how we turn failure into purpose, this one's for you.Guest ProfileTom is a former hedge fund analyst turned FBI informant, now a globally recognised speaker and ethics educator. Known as Tipper X, Tom shares his story to help others understand the behavioural drivers of misconduct and the power of accountability.

JB White delivers a fiery October 1st edition of the RattlerGator Report, reflecting on what he calls a “historic moment” as Trump summoned America's generals to Quantico. JB frames the gathering as an assertion of authority and a call for compliance, not debate, signaling the military's return to its core mission: defending the homeland against enemies foreign and domestic. He praises Pete Hegseth's powerful speech and explains why the show of strength was necessary to reestablish standards, accountability, and order. From critiques of media spin to pushback against voices questioning Netanyahu and Trump's alliance with Israel, JB ties together geopolitics, faith, and the enduring principles of conservatism, citing Russell Kirk's Ten Conservative Principles as a foundation for America's return to normalcy. He closes with reflections on Charlie Kirk's memorial, the strength of Erica Kirk, and the spiritual weight of this moment in history, warning listeners that an eventful winter lies ahead as Trump and the military prepare to confront “the enemy within.”

In this Pulse of the Practice conversation, Paul Miller unpacks why the best “tax planning season” is all year long—not just Q4. With many firm initiatives already targeting 2026, Paul shares how leading firms translate today's client conversations into concrete capacity, revenue, and staffing plans for the next 12–24 months.Key takeaways:Listen for life‑event signals. Clients rarely say “I need an exit plan.” They hint at transitions—succession, burnout, relocation, health, or market shifts. Train your team to hear those cues and start planning early.Valuation isn't a finish line; it's a starting point. Regularly benchmark the business so owners can align pricing, client mix, and structure with their eventual exit timeline.Make planning continuous. Replace last‑minute Q4 models with a cadence of mini‑check‑ins that combine numbers with narrative: goals for the next 1–5 years, risk tolerance, and capacity constraints—both client and firm‑side.Charge for strategy with confidence. Longstanding relationships don't make advisory “free.” Clarify scope, package outcomes (e.g., exit readiness, tax savings roadmap, sale prep), and communicate the value long before a transaction looms.Redesign roles for impact. Shift staff from “cranking numbers” to managing relationships and discovery. The result: better insights, earlier interventions, and more profitable engagements.Think 2026 now. If 75% of your big projects already point to 2026, formalize forecasts, staffing plans, and pricing updates today.Whether your clients are five years from a sale or just exploring growth options, this episode shows how to move from reactive calculations to proactive advisory—without awkward money talks.Timestamps00:00 Intro and why planning sneaks up on firms03:55 Why 2026 planning starts today06:45 Spotting exit triggers in normal conversations11:15 Numbers vs. life events: bringing both into planning16:15 Pricing advisory in long‑term relationships20:25 When to discuss valuation (and how often)24:20 Turning staff into relationship managersKeywords (primary/secondary/long‑tail) Primary: year‑round tax planning, advisory services for accounting firms, business valuation, exit planning, 2026 firm planning Secondary: CPA firm capacity planning, client discovery, pricing advisory, scope management, relationship management, revenue projections Long‑tail: how to price advisory for long‑term clients, signs a business is ready to sell, continuous tax planning vs Q4, training staff for client advisory, building a 2026 capacity plan
