You can be further ahead, but you only have to be one step ahead.” “You can't be a disciple maker if you're not a disciple first.” “You can't take people higher up in the mountain than you've been.” “Great leaders come in with nothing to hide, nothing to prove, nothing to lose.” “You only need to be one step ahead of the person you're coaching.” “Sometimes all it takes is a small shift in perspective to open up a whole new world.” “Athletes have coaches, but everyone else is just told to figure it out.” “We're all a puzzle piece in this giant puzzle … When we discover our identity and we're living in our purpose, then we are linking arms, yoked with the other pieces around us.” “If we want to go fast, we've got to go together.” “You think about something you buy and you're really excited about, and it almost immediately loses value. The longer you have it, the more it degrades. Soon it's just junk, and you throw it away. Experiences are like wine — they get sweeter.” “We prioritize meetings with people we don't know or don't even like, but we leave it up to chance to hang out with the people that matter to us most.

Finance is undergoing a radical transformation that's redefining how we think about money, technology, and trust. The latest edition of Finance X Magazine pulls back the curtain on these changes, revealing a landscape where artificial intelligence has moved from experimental to essential.The numbers tell a compelling story: 85% of Belgian financial institutions now maintain dedicated AI units—a staggering jump from just 37% last year. This isn't superficial adoption; it's a fundamental strategic pivot affecting everything from talent development to organizational structure. Graph LLMs are emerging as particularly powerful tools, connecting complex data points to detect fraud patterns and personalize customer experiences with unprecedented precision.Beyond AI, we explore how geography and regulation are reshaping global fintech. Europe has become a magnetic destination for Asian fintech expansion thanks to its passporting system—one license unlocks an entire continent. Meanwhile, in Turkey, a startup called Midas achieved the seemingly impossible: doubling the country's investor base in just three years by slashing trade fees from $25 to $1.50 and eliminating minimum balances. Their story demonstrates how technological innovation can create "financial armor" against economic instability.For established players, adaptation is essential but complex. AXA Partners shows how embedding insurance directly into partner journeys creates seamless customer experiences. Yet Solaris serves as a cautionary tale of growth outpacing operational controls, resulting in regulatory fines and reputational damage. The striking parallel drawn between legacy banks and Yellowstone's John Dutton perfectly captures their challenge: leveraging valuable existing assets while avoiding obsolescence.As technology accelerates and regulations tighten—from NIS2 cybersecurity requirements to comprehensive crypto frameworks—financial institutions face a profound question: How do we balance innovation with stability, and ultimately, how do we maintain trust at the center of everything we do? Join us as we navigate these crucial questions reshaping the future of finance.Thank you for tuning into our podcast about global trends in the FinTech industry.Check out our podcast channel.Learn more about The Connector.

Emmanuel Daniel, founder of TAP International and author of "The Great Transition," explores the fascinating connections between ancient snake mythologies, humanity's quest for immortality, and the rise of artificial intelligence in the financial industry.• Mythologies across cultures show humanity's aspiration for godlike powers and immortality, with snakes symbolizing renewal without true immortality• AI represents our latest attempt to achieve godlike status but may contain built-in limitations that prevent humanity from self-destruction• Different governance approaches exist globally: European principles-based systems versus American rules-based frameworks• AI fundamentally transforms financial services by enabling unprecedented disintermediation between institutions and customers• Banks must redefine their intermediation role as agentic AI allows end users to build their own interfaces• Back-office operations are being dramatically simplified, reducing technology's status as a competitive differentiator• Financial institutions should prioritize adapting to AI's core impacts rather than just resisting disruptionFor more information, visit Emmanuel Daniel's blog at emmanueldaniel.comThank you for tuning into our podcast about global trends in the FinTech industry.Check out our podcast channel.Learn more about The Connector.

I'm just going to show up and be me.” “I'm just going to show up and be me, because this is not sustainable, playing dress-up.” “If I didn't talk about the painful parts, it (speeches) would not have the impact that it does, not even a fraction.” “You have to push through the uncomfortable, the anxiety, the scary part, because the rewards are massive.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://macecurran.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/macecurran/ https://www.instagram.com/mace_curran/ https://www.facebook.com/macecurran/ https://x.com/mace_curran https://www.youtube.com/@mace_curran5 "The Flipside: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear into Your Superpower" (https://a.co/d/6zgzEbT) "Upside Down Dreams" (https://a.co/d/5HlDvhl) "What's Your Callsign?"

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Amanda Jones interviews Michael Preece, the Connector in Chief at Business Networking Advantage Australia. Michael shares how he built a thriving statewide network of six groups across Tasmania over the past 11 years. Starting as a photographer, he leveraged his passion for genuine relationships into a powerful business referral system. Michael offers practical tips on networking, building trust, and the importance of making one meaningful new connection each week. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Focus on Relationships Over Sales: Networking is not about pitching—it's about building genuine, value-driven relationships that lead to long-term business opportunities. Set Realistic Networking Goals: Don't aim to meet everyone in the room. Instead, target 3–4 meaningful conversations at each event to build quality connections. Consistently Grow Your Network: Make it a weekly habit to meet at least one new person in business. Over time, this compounds into powerful referral and support networks. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Never Underestimate Who People Know: A contact may not become a client—but they might introduce you to someone who is. Treat every connection as a gateway to broader networks. Use Simple Tools Effectively: A well-organized contact system (like Outlook synced to your phone) can act as a lightweight CRM to manage relationships and follow-ups. Track and Show the Value of Networking: Leverage tools or systems that give transparency into referrals and business growth so you can clearly measure the ROI of your networking efforts. One action small business owners can take: According to Michael Preece, one action a small business owner should take is to meet one new business contact each week with the genuine intent to build a relationship—because you never know who they know or where that connection might lead.

In real estate investing, raising private money is often seen as a numbers game, but at its core, it's really about relationships. This is precisely the message Jay Conner and his guest, Kevin Thompson, share in their enlightening conversation on the "Raising Private Money" podcast. Kevin, an entrepreneur with a proven track record of facilitating hundreds of strategic partnerships, brings knowledge about the true power of relationship capital.The Power of Relationship CapitalBusiness success, especially in fields reliant on collaboration and investment, doesn't exist in a vacuum. Kevin Thompson's journey highlights how critical relationships are—not just transactional contacts, but meaningful, mutually beneficial connections. Over the years, Kevin has helped fellow entrepreneurs generate millions in revenue, not by relentless self-promotion, but through thoughtful introduction, collaboration, and service.A central idea in Kevin's approach is treating relationships with genuine care. Relationships aren't merely a means to an end; they are the end in themselves. The entrepreneurs who grow their businesses consistently are those who invest time and authentic energy in nurturing their network. Whether it's private lenders in real estate or partners in other industries, the principle remains the same: showing up with a servant's heart creates a ripple effect that supports long-term growth.Defining and Creating Strategic PartnershipsMany business owners misunderstand the essence of strategic partnerships. It's not simply finding someone to promote your offerings for a cut of the revenue. Kevin emphasizes that a successful partnership is two people coming together to achieve more collectively than they ever could individually. The most fruitful collaborations begin not with, ‘What can you do for me?' but with, ‘How can I help you serve your clients better?'This shift in mindset is transformative. It allows both parties to explore their unique skills and resources and see how they can uplift each other. The real value isn't just sales or dollars but the experience and trust that's built along the way. Kevin's network is a testament to this philosophy—he's facilitated over 400 strategic partnerships by focusing not on what he can gain, but on how he can help others grow.Being the ConnectorKevin has become known as "The Connector," not simply for the sheer volume of relationships he's built, but for the quality and impact of those connections. His approach is proactive and intentional. Rather than wait for opportunities to come to him, Kevin reaches out to those who inspire him, often from something as small as a thoughtful social media post. He compliments, appreciates, and asks probing questions—curious to learn what excites the other person and how he might contribute to their success.Even when facilitating introductions between others, Kevin's focus is on alignment of values, interests, and intention. True partnerships are only possible when there's a natural fit, and Kevin's intuition allows him to discern these opportunities effectively.Leading with Service—The Secret to ReciprocityOne of the most powerful lessons from Kevin's story is the approach of giving without expectation. Giving appreciation, attention, and help without any strings attached creates an environment where reciprocity happens naturally. Sometimes the benefits return directly from the person you help, other times from an unexpected source.

https://youtu.be/VsYNJyvLhJQ Devin Sizemore, Connector, Consultant, Speaker, and author of Connection Expansion, is driven by a mission to help entrepreneurs unlock opportunity by building meaningful, leveraged relationships that drive growth. We explore Devin's journey into connection strategy and his creation of the Connection Expansion Framework, a system designed to help business owners stop chasing prospects and instead build a thriving network that brings opportunity to them. The framework includes five key steps: identifying connectors to your target market, asking to be introduced, building strategic partnerships, saturating your niche, and staying top of mind through long-term follow-up. Devin explains why most entrepreneurs overemphasize referrals and underestimate the value of partnerships, events, and collaborations. He shares how to reduce friction in introductions, build authority in niche communities, and turn warm relationships into a consistent flywheel of growth. He also discusses his book Connection Expansion, a tactical guide to putting this system into action. --- Expand Your Network with Devin Sizemore Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And today my guest is Devin Sizemore, who is a connector, consultant, speaker, and author of Connection Expansion. Devin, welcome to the show. Steve, thanks so much for having me. Been looking forward to this conversation. Yeah, I've been looking forward to it too, especially since I read, I'm through about halfway through your book, Connection Expansion, and I found it fascinating, so let's talk about it. But first, let's start with your personal “Why” and how you are manifesting it in your business and businesses. Definitely. I love that question. I think a lot of people aren't aligned with their “Why,” and so I love that you start there. My personal “Why” is my first core principle that I share in the book, which is always add value. So everything I do, I focus on how do I add value to others, whether that's just people I'm meeting, whether that's clients, whether that's your listeners, I'm always focused on adding value. And so everything I do, every decision I make has to align with adding value.Share on X And if it does, great. If it doesn't, I'm probably not interested in doing it. That's a good principle to live by, to always add value. I had a client who had one of their core values was always add value. It was a consulting company and I thought it was very appropriate. So let's talk about your book, Connection Expansion, which describes your unique networking system. So my question is what prompted you to write a book about networking and about the system? Yeah, again, another great question. I've been doing consulting for 15 years. I've owned a bunch of companies and the core of it has always been connections. But where I think we're a little bit different and where I'm different is I have the ability to be a visionary. So what do I think I wanna create, but also being tactical. So grounding that into an actual system. Seven years ago, I really focused on connections. A couple of hundred clients later, and we've proven the system works. And so writing the book was kind of the last step of that process with me going through and really documenting the questions, the follow-up, the cadence, the templates, the whole system in a way that I could share it easily with the world.  And then I work with a lot of book clients with one of my biggest clients. And so the combination of, I want to do it, and I'm watching all these people have success with books kind of led to me going, hey, it's my turn to do this and I need to share it with the world. Okay. And why is it important to build a network, to have lots of connections? Maybe it's a stupid question, but I'm still curious. No, it's a great question because depending on what your goals are currently, the answer is different.

Nathan Turner of Earnest Investing spills the beans on how note investing isn't just about crunching numbers—it's all about those real connections!

As luck would have it, after getting stuck with a property he couldn't sell, he decided to rent it out, only to discover that being a landlord was less glamorous than HGTV made it seem. With a sprinkle of humor, Nathan recounts how he and his partner stumbled into note investing, believing they were inventing seller financing while actually stepping into an already established niche. They emphasize the power of community in note investing, sharing stories about the relationships formed at conferences like the Diversified Mortgage Expo (DME), which Nathan now heads.

It's a reminder that in the world of finance, having a good laugh and throwing axes can lead to building solid relationships. Whether you're an experienced investor or just dipping your toes in the note space, Nathan's insights and the community vibe at DME provide invaluable guidance on how to navigate this unique market. The episode wraps up with Nathan encouraging everyone to connect, collaborate, and maybe even throw an ax or two, because in the end, it's all about those essential connections that can transform a career.Companies mentioned in this episode: Earnest Investing Diversified Mortgage Expo

During the pandemic, like many others, I felt politically charged, and I channeled this energy into being an online warrior.On social media, I reposted it all, making it clear where I stood – only to realize this wasn't my highest use. I wasn't actually reading the books or taking the actions. I wondered: what could I do instead? That's how I ended up here. Real community requires something most Americans are terrified of, which is compromise. It requires letting go of the “all-or-nothing” mindset and finding common ground. It means being willing to give up some of our freedoms for real security and support. Today I share some of my political beliefs and what I've been doing instead of being an “online warrior.” I'm not saying this is how you should show up. It's just how I do. At the core of it all, my fundamental belief is this: as humans, we need to care more about each other. In this episode you'll hear about:My own political beliefs regarding religion, gun reform, human rights, climate change, marriage equality, church-state separation, human services programs, etc.Pitfalls of simply reposting political content without taking action and the importance of having meaningful conversationsThe danger of polarization and the “all-or-nothing” mindset and the importance of finding common ground to foster understanding and connectionThe power of small shifts, plus three things I'm doing in my everyday life instead of being the online warriorResources & LinksRead the book I quote in this episode, Democracy in Retrograde by Sami Sage and Emily Amick.Like what you hear?
