This Flashback Friday is from episode 345, published last November 5, 2013. Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association. In 1999 Karen reported the corrupt take-over of the second largest bank in the Philippines. The Bank's Country Director in the Philippines reassigned Karen when she asked him to sign a letter warning the Philippines' government that the Bank could not disburse its loan. Two days after informing the Board's Audit Committee of the cover-up in the Philippines, Karen was reprimanded and placed on probation. The Chair of the World Bank's Audit Committee requested an inquiry into the World Bank's Institutional Integrity Department. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations followed up with three letters to the World Bank. The World Bank forged documents and fired Karen in contempt of Congress. In 2007 Karen advised the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the rules. The 66 year old Gentlemen's Agreement that Europe would appoint the Managing Director of the IMF and US would appoint the World Bank President ended in 2010.

Business Coaching Secrets - Episode 305 Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into what it really takes to build, sustain, and scale a thriving business coaching practice. The duo tackles foundational business concepts, industry mistakes, the true meaning of “why,” actionable hacks for goal setting, and demystifies financial jargon like EBITDA. Real-world stories, sharp insights, and actionable frameworks pepper the episode, making it essential listening for both new and experienced coaches ready to level up. Key Topics Covered From Stuff to Investments: Reframing Business Decisions Karl Bryan discusses the importance of transitioning from a consumer mindset (buying stuff) to an investor mindset, stressing that tax systems are designed to reward investment, not consumption. He urges coaches to build leverage by creating business assets—processes, checklists, sales tools—rather than endless, unproductive “to-do” lists. The Checklist Principle—Why It Matters Drawing parallels from aviation safety and the medical field, Karl demonstrates how a simple checklist can prevent disasters and streamline operations. He advocates every coach should adopt the checklist mentality for lead generation, demonstrations, and client delivery. Clarity Over Certainty—Common Coaching Industry Mistakes Karl challenges the coaching world's obsession with “certainty,” arguing that adaptability and assertiveness—not rigid certainty—are the real traits of thriving entrepreneurs and coaches. He emphasizes action over perfection, quoting successful entrepreneurs who act on partial information and adjust rapidly. Demystifying EBITDA and the Language of Business Karl breaks down EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization), explaining why this metric is used and its limitations in real-world small business scenarios. He urges coaches to focus on learning to read financials—calling it the ultimate “cheat sheet” for delivering value and driving a business forward. Goal Setting Hacks—The Sniper Approach For effective goal achievement, Karl recommends setting hyper-clear targets with “sniper-like” focus, obsessing over them, and ruling out distractions. He explains why wishy-washy goals lead to lackluster results and shares tactics to maintain relentless clarity. Finding and Using Your ‘Why' The episode revisits the importance of purpose (drawing from Simon Sinek's famous TED Talk), offering coaches a framework to discover their own “why” via their three most painful life experiences. Karl details how this “North Star” approach powers authentic connection, standout marketing, and fierce client loyalty. Notable Quotes “Don't create a to-do list. Create a ‘to-build' list.” – Karl Bryan “Needing nothing attracts everything.” – Karl Bryan “It's not the strongest that survive… It's the most adaptable.” – Karl Bryan “If your goal is wishy-washy, your results will be wishy-washy.” – Karl Bryan “Wealth follows people with clear intentions—and wealth and options go hand in hand.” – Karl Bryan “Your story is what will move people… Your ‘why' is the difference between you and every other business coach.” – Rode Dog Actionable Takeaways • Shift From Consuming to Investing: Ask yourself, “Are you buying stuff, or are you building and investing in long-term assets?” • Build Leverage With Checklists: Create checklists for every major aspect of your coaching business—client acquisition, delivery, demonstration, and more—to reduce errors and increase consistency. • Emphasize Adaptability Over Certainty: Stay flexible, assertively seek solutions, and avoid perfection paralysis. Progress and confidence beat static “certainty.” • Master Financial Fluency: Learn to read and interpret financial statements—this is a critical edge and a “cheat code” for deep, transformational coaching. • Set Clear, Obsession-Worthy Goals: Define your outcomes with sniper accuracy. Eliminate distractions and say “no” to anything that doesn't move you forward. • Surface and Share Your ‘Why': Identify your core motivation by unpacking your pivotal life moments. Let this story fuel your messaging, deepen relationships, and increase client stickiness.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial, sit down with Tuan Duong from Duo Tax Quantity Surveyors to unpack the often overlooked power of depreciation in property investment. The episode starts by unpacking depreciation and how it allows investors to claim tax deductions on the wear and tear of buildings and fixtures, boosting cash flow without out-of-pocket costs. Since 2017, rules have tightened for second-hand residential properties, but commercial properties still allow broader depreciation claims, making them attractive for positive cash flow. To access these benefits, investors need a depreciation schedule prepared by a qualified quantity surveyor, especially after renovations, which can unlock even more deductions through scrapping. Tuan also debunks the myth that older properties don't qualify, noting that renovations can revive depreciation potential. However, investors should be aware that claiming depreciation affects capital gains tax calculations upon sale. The co-hosts believe investors should stay educated, as mastering depreciation can significantly strengthen portfolios and long-term returns.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the recent court ruling striking down President Trump's tariffs and its broader economic and real estate implications. He explains how the legal back-and-forth introduces uncertainty, raising recession risks and inflationary pressures, which in turn could stall business investment and construction. John then examines how various commercial real estate sectors—apartments, retail, office, and industrial—are likely to be impacted by the economic turbulence, highlighting apartments as a relative safe haven. He closes with a deep dive on the timing of buying and selling real estate in light of potential tax code changes, especially the return of 100% bonus depreciation, and why he believes long-term fundamentals still support strategic acquisitions.

The Paychex Business Series Podcast with Gene Marks - Coronavirus
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the tax and spending bill by one vote, but small businesses could gain a few positives if some of the provisions survive the Senate debate and reconciliation should it pass that chamber of Congress. Gene Marks highlights the proposed changes to bonus depreciation, the pass-through tax deduction, and revisions to research and development costs as potential wins for small businesses, and he says he thinks these provisions will remain.

We examine the dangers of relying too heavily on bonus depreciation strategies and provide alternative approaches that don't create future tax problems.• Bonus depreciation allows writing off a percentage of qualifying assets immediately rather than over their useful life• The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provided 100% bonus depreciation from 2017-2022, now phasing down to 40% in 2025• Financing assets for tax write-offs still requires paying the full purchase price over time• After claiming depreciation, loan payments become essentially non-deductible, creating "paper income"• Selling assets before their useful life creates depreciation recapture taxed at ordinary income rates• More balanced tax strategies include income shifting, entity structuring, and hiring family members• The Augusta Rule and employing children can provide up to $100,000 in deductions without creating future liabilities• Prioritize assets that generate sufficient returns to justify their purchase beyond just tax benefits• Smart tax planning considers both immediate savings and long-term financial implicationsTo learn how these concepts apply to your specific situation, visit prosperlcpa.com/apply and schedule a consultation.

It's likely, and indeed forecasted, that if this Government is re-elected next year it will end its second term in 2029 having never run a surplus. Now, that either means they spent too much, or they inherited a gargantuan mess. The latter we know to be a fact. But the former is a bit debatable. Depending on how you measure things, the forecast surplus in 2029 is so thin it might be less than nothing, and that's the optimistic way of measuring things, which the Government now favours. I wonder why? The traditional way of measuring things still has a $3 billion hole by 2029. The pay equity money turns out to be about $2.5 billion a year, which shows you how hopelessly loose pay equity became. Primary teaching is not a pay equity issue, the same way nursing isn't. It's a union pay grab. The opposition will still try and convince you otherwise, but they're wrong. What we do know is the Government found $5 billion a year from savings and equity, which is a lot of money, but money that still allegedly needs spending, hence the ongoing deficits. The dept-to-GDP keeps going up. It's too high. But under my way of doing things, the little there was handed out, or redistributed, yesterday wouldn't have even been there. But I suspect the politics of an approach that austere was too much to stomach. But here is their issue; a conservative Government can only run things in the red for so long before the public quite rightly asks whether they actually know what they're doing. Getting rid of KiwiSaver freebies for the so-called wealthy is a good move. Getting rid of Best Start freebies for wealthy families is also a good move. Means testing wealthy families on jobless teenagers is common sense. It's already done on student allowance. Depreciation for business assets is a good move. It encourages people to spend and take a punt - more of that please. In the end it was a simple document because the Government has limited room to move and Governments should not be the home of all good ideas, bum wiping and problem solving. They should set the mood and clear the run way. It's a classic centre-right Budget written in tough times. What they need politically is people to understand just how tough it is and to give them leeway and some patience to ride this out. As for those who dug us this hole in the first place - the less we hear from them the better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Eliot Thomas, Esq. is joined by Anderson CPA Barley Bowler. They explain how transfer-on-death titles still provide beneficiaries with stepped-up basis advantages and clarify that short-term rentals don't qualify for real estate professional status. You'll hear proper entity structures for rental properties, recommending against holding appreciating real estate in C corporations. They thoroughly explain the 280A "Augusta Rule" that allows tax-free rental income from personal residences to your business for up to 14 days annually. With input from bookkeeping expert Troy Butler, they recommend QuickBooks Online for tracking rental property finances. Additionally, they cover Roth IRA conversions, tax withholding strategies, and 1031 exchange rules for deferring capital gains. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "When a house is under a transfer on death title, does the beneficiary still get a step-up in basis?" - Yes, they still get a stepped-up basis. "If I already qualify as a real estate professional rep status via short-term rentals and add long-term rentals to the mix. Can I lump the two kinds together? And does having an S corporation that manages everything affect my rep status?" - Short-term rentals don't qualify for REP status. S-corps generally don't affect REP status. "Where real estate properties are in individual LLCs, disregarded and owned by my C corporation, does the C corporation maintain one bank account and collect rent for all individual properties?" - Not recommended. Use a management company instead. "If you get started in wholesaling, should you file as an S corporation?" - Yes, use S or C corp. "What kind of bookkeeping is needed for rental real estate? Do you have any bookkeeping software to suggest?" - QuickBooks Online is recommended. Track properties separately. "When doing an IRA to Roth conversion, are there any limits? Are pre-tax conversions always treated as ordinary income? Is it true that the IRS does not know or care when the conversions were done during the year?" - No limits. Yes, ordinary income. IRS treats as earned throughout year. "How does tax work if a business owner is paying himself as an employee, do we have to tax twice? Once for the business income and once as an employee?" - No, payroll is deductible business expense. "How do I do a 1031 exchange? And how do I maximize real estate property depreciation after I do a 1031 exchange? Am I stuck with the previous depreciation rate and amount of the previous property?" - Use a qualified intermediary. Trade up for more depreciation.
