Guest: Deric Keller - Certified Business Coach with Exit Momentum, former $10M business ownerEpisode Overview: Financial advisor David Chudyk interviews business coach Deric Keller about strategies that make businesses more profitable, sellable, and sustainable while improving owner wellbeing.Key Topics Discussed:1. Common Hiring MistakesFounders often hire to "fill a seat" rather than designing the role firstThis creates "Frankenstein roles" that are hard to replace and measureBest practice: Use the "elevate and delegate" model - categorize tasks by what you love/hate and are good/bad at, then delegate the bottom tier2. The Hustle TrapBusiness owners often wear burnout as a "badge of honor"Example: Owner doing parts runs while $60K in bids pile up (70-80% close rate)Key insight: Are you busy with the right things that generate revenue?Delegate tasks you hate/aren't good at to focus on high-value activities3. Tracking the Wrong MetricsMost founders track profit incorrectly by hiding expenses to avoid taxesThis hurts: credit applications, equipment financing, home purchases, and business valuationClean books = higher business value4. What Drives Business Valuation Factors that LOWER value:Over-reliance on one customer (lack of diversification)Weak human capital (high turnover, inexperienced staff)Missing systems/processes/intellectual propertyPoor financial predictabilitySingle vendor dependencyFactors that INCREASE value:Customer diversificationStrong, experienced teamDocumented systems and processesRecurring revenue (3-6 point multiple increase)Clean financial records5. Understanding Business MultiplesMost businesses sell for a multiple of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization) or net profitTypical multiples: 1-3x (weak business) to 6-15x (strong business with recurring revenue, great systems)SaaS companies often valued on revenue multiples (though AI is currently driving these down)Who buys you affects the multiple (strategic buyer vs. PE firm)6. When Hustle Stops WorkingHard work creates bottlenecks when you're the decision-maker for everythingLeads to: burnout, key person dependency, slowed growthSolution: Decentralized command (like military model) - give teams the mission, let them executeBalance: You can't give equal TIME to business/family/health, but you can give equal INTENTION7. The 3D Diagnostic ModelDirection: Where is the company going? What are the goals?Design: What's the structure, systems, processes, financial model?Dynamic: What's the human element? Who might be holding you back?8. Leadership DevelopmentLeadership is a learned skill, not innate talentRequires repetition and practice ("reps")Best professionals in every field have coaches9. Work-Life Integration StrategiesBe strategic with focus and intentionWhen with family: phone down, fully presentGym time: have a plan, execute, leave energizedDaily practices: journaling, meditation, prayer, gratitudeLearn-teach-implement cycle: consume content, teach it to someone, apply it10. Definition of Wealth Deric's answer: Legacy - Making an impact that outlasts you, influencing people you'll never meet through the business owners and teams you coachCall to Action: Visit ExitMomentum.com to:Take a free business assessmentBook a 3D diagnostic call (no cost)Access free tools and insightsSchedule an in-person leadership labKey Takeaway: A sellable business is a good business, even if you never sell it. Building systems, diversifying revenue, and developing your team creates value regardless of your exit timeline.Links referenced in this episode:www.weeklywealthpodcast.com/endgameexitmomentum.com

Now it’s 100% again. And then you have Section 179, which is 100, but you need to figure out sometimes bonus is better than Section 179 and sometimes Section 179 is better than bonus.

About Margaret Graziano: Magi has spent her life reinventing herself. From a single mother at 19 working at the first Cable TV company, to leading one of the fastest-growing consultancies and becoming a best-selling author in her field of expertise, Magi has continually taken challenges and failure as lessons, and learned to move beyond her limits (both real and perceived) to live a life that inspires and contributes. Using a unique combination of experiential coaching, science-backed development tools, and actionable strategies, Magi empowers leaders to evolve themselves and their organizational culture to meet the moment. Whether it's change initiatives, new leadership, or cultural transformation, she partners with teams to catalyze positive change.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Margaret Graziano discuss: Defining organizational culture as the ecosystem that turns vision into reality The measurable financial impact of culture on engagement, productivity, and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) How stress, distraction, and insecurity since COVID have eroded workplace performance Why outdated post-World War II workplace architecture blocks innovation and trust The real cost of meetings and how they either drain energy or inspire change   Key Takeaways: Explicitly teach self-regulation skills so employees can manage stress, fear, and emotional reactivity instead of letting it silently undermine performance. Audit meetings for cost, purpose, and energy impact, and redesign them to inspire change rather than search for blame or status updates. Hire and develop people based on competency, commitment to mission, and accountability rather than relying on goodwill or passion alone. Connect each role to a noble cause that matters beyond compensation, so employees operate from courage and belief in a positive future.   "It is the ecosystem that turns the organization's vision into reality.” — Margaret Graziano   Connect with Margaret Graziano:   Website: https://www.margaretgraziano.com/ Book: Ignite Culture: Empowering and Leading a Healthy, High-Performance Organization from the Inside Out: https://www.amazon.com/Ignite-Culture-Empowering-High-Performance-Organization-ebook/dp/B0BQCZB4HF YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/keenalignmentmg LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaretgraziano/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Are you selling an investment property in 2026? Before you list, you need to understand the hidden tax risks inside a 1031 exchange strategy. In this episode of the Mastering 1031 Exchange Series, Judy Casad and Qualified Intermediary Milissa Ormiston-Hall break down these key topics: • Cost segregation explained in plain English • Bonus depreciation and why it can backfire • Depreciation recapture and ordinary income tax • Why breaking even doesn't mean zero tax • Gain vs. equity (and why investors confuse them) • How prior 1031 exchanges lower your cost basis • Where to find your adjusted basis (IRS Form 8824) • The key questions to ask your CPA before selling Many investors assume if they don't walk away with much cash, they won't owe taxes.

Attend the 2026 Summit Conference: https://get.biggerpockets.com/passivepocketssummit2026/ This Episode Hotels for passive investors: what actually matters and how it's different from multifamily. Chris Lopez digs in with Jay Desai and Suraj Reddy on the underwriting stack (ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and RevPAR penetration), why brand fit and comp sets (STAR reports) drive the thesis, and how operations (daily pricing, sales/RFPs, third-party management aligned on expenses) move the needle. They walk through break-even occupancy math (often far lower than MF), margins, bonus depreciation via FF&E/capex, fixed-rate/community-bank capital stacks, and their “no capital calls” policy. Includes a Columbus case study and the macro outlook across business/leisure/extended-stay demand—and what Airbnbs really compete for. Key Takeaways Hotels 101: ADR × occupancy = RevPAR; low RevPAR penetration in a strong comp set = value-add target Break-even is different: hotels can pencil at ~35–60% occupancy vs. ~70–75% in multifamily Operations > brand alone: daily revenue management, sales/RFPs, and expense discipline drive NOI STAR reports: how pros build comp sets and gauge RevPAR share before/after capex Depreciation edge: large year-one bonus depreciation from FF&E and renovations (consult your CPA) Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

They explain how to structure management companies for rental properties, the relationship between W-2 wages and K-1 distributions, and the power of the 199A qualified business income deduction. Eliot and Barley dive deep into 100% bonus depreciation, cost segregation studies, and depreciation recapture rules—clarifying when to use Section 179 expensing versus bonus depreciation. They also cover maximizing education expense deductions through C corporations, leveraging oil and gas working interest investments for immediate ordinary deductions of 60-85%, structuring private operating foundations with proper payroll procedures, and optimal tax strategies for business sales including the powerful Section 1202 exclusion.

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: 00:00 - Intro 05:34 - "I have a property management S corporation for my rental properties. All rents and expenses are paid to/from the S-corporation. I take a W2 from the corporation. At the end of the year I receive a K1 for the net rental income. Can I take a QBI deduction for this K1?" - The K-1 reflects only the management fee, not rental income. QBI applies to that fee. 14:07 - "I am curious how I can get the maximum benefit from a tax perspective for education class fees paid." - C corporations can deduct new business education via loans from shareholders arrangement. 19:04 - "Please explain 100% Bonus Depreciation recapture and eligible assets with a less than 20 year life being fully depreciated in Year 1." - Cost segregation identifies 5, 7, 15-year assets eligible for immediate bonus depreciation. 24:08 - "What happens if you sell a rental property with depreciation recapture after a cost segregation with bonus depreciation?" - Five-year and fifteen-year property recaptures at ordinary rates; building capped at 25%. 29:46 - "Please explain Section 179 expensing." - Section 179 allows immediate equipment expensing but cannot create a loss situation. 36:20 - "Is oil and gas a good tax deduction?" - Working interest investments provide immediate 60-85% ordinary deductions through intangible drilling costs. 40:36 - "My family has a private operating foundation. One family member works full-time for the foundation and we agreed to pay a wage to that individual. Would that family member have a w-2? Or does the owner withdraw? Also payroll?" - Pay reasonable W-2 wages through payroll; no owner withdrawals in nonprofit foundations. 44:40 - "What is the best tax strategy for selling a business?" - Stock sales create capital gains; consider Section 1202 for qualified small businesses.

In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read continues his series on common financial mistakes dentists make, with a deep dive into tax planning gaps that often lead to paying unnecessary taxes.Wes explains how many dentists rely on reactive tax filing instead of proactive tax planning, causing them to miss powerful deductions and make poor timing decisions. He breaks down practical, real-world strategies such as the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax election; overlooked deductions like kids on payroll, home office, vehicles, meals, and travel; and why depreciation must always align with cash flow.The episode also highlights the risks of overly aggressive tax strategies, why meeting with your CPA only once a year isn't enough, and how a CFO-style, proactive approach can significantly accelerate a dentist's path to financial independence.Key Topics CoveredCommon tax planning mistakes dentists makeHow the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax election worksWhy the timing of tax payments mattersLow-hanging tax deductions many dentists missKids vs. spouse on payroll (and when it makes sense)Home office, car, meals, and travel deductionsRisks of aggressive tax strategies like misused R&D creditsProper vs. improper use of depreciation (Section 179)The difference between reactive CPAs and proactive, CFO-style planningKey TakeawaysPTE tax election is a major opportunity: Dentists in high-tax states can significantly reduce federal taxes if payments are made correctly and on time.Cash timing determines deductions: Tax deductions only apply in the year money actually leaves your account.Small deductions compound: When combined, kids on payroll, home office, vehicle use, meals, and travel can create meaningful tax savings.Spouse on payroll requires retirement planning: Without a 401(k) or defined benefit plan, it can increase taxes instead of reducing them.Depreciation isn't free money: Misusing Section 179 can create future cash flow problems.Avoid crossing the line: Aggressive or poorly justified strategies increase audit risk.Tax planning follows cash flow planning: Taxes are a subset of cash flow—not the other way around.Proactive advice matters: Dentists benefit most from advisors who specialize in dentistry and meet multiple times per year.CFO-style planning accelerates wealth:...

In this episode of Beyond Bitewings, we're bringing back some of our favorite advice from our episodes that discussed selling a dental practice to a Dental Support Organization (DSO), highlighting the significant differences between selling to a DSO and an independent buyer. The conversation covers how DSOs value practices using EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), and why this can result in higher sale prices compared to traditional methods that use a percentage of collections. We also explain the importance of understanding value from the DSO and private equity perspective and warns practice owners about the risks of responding to unsolicited offers without proper representation.The episode addresses key concerns for dentists, such as what to expect after the sale, how contracts are structured, and why it's essential to shop around for multiple offers before committing. They discuss the impact of EBITDA calculations on a practice's valuation, the role of lease agreements when the seller owns their building, and strategies to maximize the value of the transaction. Key Topics Discussed:How DSOs value dental practices using EBITDADifferences between DSO and independent salesThe structure of post-sale contracts and earn-outsPitfalls of responding to unsolicited DSO offersThe importance of getting multiple offers and proper representationEBITDA calculations and their effect on practice valuationLease agreements when the seller owns the buildingAdvice for maximizing practice sale valueThe changing dental industry landscape with the growth of DSOs

Most people treat taxes like an unavoidable expense. The wealthy treat them like a strategy. In this episode, I break down how high net worth individuals and families legally and ethically use taxes to build wealth instead of losing it. We walk through the mindset shift, the incentives built into the tax code, and the four biggest strategies the wealthy use to lower their effective tax rates while compounding assets. This is not about loopholes or shortcuts. It is about understanding how the system works and using it intentionally. If you are tired of reacting to taxes and want to start planning ahead, this episode is your starting point. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why taxes are a blueprint not a bill 01:15 The mindset difference between classes 03:00 Why the tax code rewards behavior 04:20 Business ownership and pre tax strategies 06:40 Depreciation explained simply 08:30 Real estate and tax efficiency 10:20 Proactive planning versus reaction 12:00 DIY or delegate 13:30 How to start using the system Key Takeaways • Taxes are an incentive system • Ownership changes how you are taxed • Depreciation creates real advantages • Real estate compounds wealth and tax efficiency • Planning ahead reduces stress and taxes • Education is the real advantage Quotables "The wealthy do not fear taxes. They design around them." "Taxes are not the enemy. Ignorance is." "Playing offense with money starts with understanding the rules." Closing If this episode gave you clarity, share it with someone still paying taxes blindly. You do not need to cheat. You do not need to be ultra rich. You just need to learn the system and use it intentionally.

Amanda Cruise interviews Chris Streit, CEO of CSA Partners, about where cost segregation stands at the end of 2025—why “100% bonus depreciation is back” doesn't remove urgency, because cost seg is fundamentally tax deferral and the time value of money still matters. Chris explains how investors can run look-back/catch-up depreciation on properties bought in prior years without amending returns, and why doing accelerated depreciation “wrong” increases audit risk (including IRS use of AI). They also dig into the often-ignored pain point—1245 recapture—and Chris shares how a “1245 exchange” approach can revalue short-life assets at sale to potentially reduce ordinary-income recapture and shift more into capital-gains treatment.

John Casmon interviews Yonah Weiss, a cost segregation expert known as the “Cost Seg King,” about how cost segregation works as an advanced form of depreciation and why it can be a powerful cash-flow tool for real estate investors. They break down who benefits most, plus other scenarios like the short-term rental “loophole” and income-based exceptions that can allow depreciation to offset active income. Yonah also explains depreciation recapture in plain English and shares common strategies investors use to defer or reduce tax impact at sale, including 1031 exchanges and Opportunity Zones. Finally, they shift into marketing—why Yonah built his brand on LinkedIn through consistency and real engagement, and why in-person networking is still hard to beat.

HT2467 - Depreciation Happens We all know the bumper sticker wisdom that can be politely translated with the phrase "poo poo occurs." That's the sense with which I titled this commentary, Depreciation Happens. The other day I opened a box in the attic and found a Minolta Hi-Matic 9, a 35 mm camera that was originally manufactured in 1966. On eBay, if I were lucky, I might get $20 for this used piece of gear. That got me thinking about all the things I've purchased in my photographic life, not a single one of which has appreciated in value, not even my artwork. The art life is a privilege we must be willing to pay for. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!
