Nonprofits are often drawn to the idea of being 'self-sustaining.' Alternative revenue streams—like charging fees for services or partnering with for-profits—can sound appealing as ways to diversify income. But public charities must maintain broad donor support, and too much revenue from non-donation sources could even put their tax-exempt status at risk. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Amy Dosik joins us to answer common questions about social enterprise and what nonprofits need to know to stay compliant when adopting new revenue streams.

Sarah Ball, our Investment Specialist, sits down with Hugo Capel Cure, Co-Head of Portfolio Management, and Hughie Jessel, Head of Fund Research, to unpack the role of diversifying assets in how we construct portfolios.

Moffat and co-host Director of Financial Planning Jordan Naffa discuss how investors can cut through uncertainty by focusing on the factors within their control.

They emphasize how focusing on controllable actions leads to stronger long-term outcomes and less emotional decision-making.In this episode: ● Building a personalized investment plan that aligns with goals and risk tolerance ● Structuring portfolios for expected returns through factor-based and strategic allocation ● Diversifying globally to reduce reliance on a single market and build resilience ● Controlling costs by managing fees, turnover, and taxes ● Staying disciplined through rebalancing, consistent investing, and professional guidanceIf you have any questions, call the Arista Wealth Management office located in Las Vegas, NV at 702-309-9970Connect with Arista Wealth:Website: https://www.aristawealth.comEmail: support@aristawealth.comCall our office: 702-309-9970 The opinions expressed in this podcast are for general purposes only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual or on any specific security.

“All trading days are crazy in September,” Louise Goudy Willmering laughs. She discusses the Fed's dual mandate, and while she expects a 25-basis-point potential rate cut next week, she's not sure about moves after that. “The wait and see is ok at this point.” She emphasizes the importance of staying diversified, calling back to tech's April sell off. She also argues that the dollar may stay weaker, creating international opportunities.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Increasing flexibility on the electric grid is necessary as demand and capacity requirements rapidly rise. Diversifying generation portfolios with emerging technologies is a good start, and significant T&D investments in innovations like virtual power plants can help match supply with demand. Cost, construction, and timing are often challenges to increasing flexibility; therefore, what solutions are going to make the most impact to help meet energy needs? Joining us to discuss these important topics about flexibility are Dr. William (Bill) Burke, CEO at Virtual Peaker, Jessica Matlock, CEO at PNGC Power, and Darren Murtaugh, Director of Electric Distribution Strategy at ICF.

R. Kenner French opened the discussion by asking Daniel Nikic why investors should look beyond U.S. markets. Daniel highlighted globalization's undeniable impact, from supply chains in Asia to innovation emerging abroad. He pointed out that many successful companies, such as Grammarly, originated outside the U.S. but gained prominence globally. Population size and growing consumer bases in countries like China and India also underscore the importance of considering international markets when building a diversified portfolio.Kenner emphasized that diversification across global markets helps reduce overall portfolio risk. By allocating assets internationally, investors can balance fluctuations in U.S. markets with opportunities abroad. Daniel acknowledged concerns that foreign companies may feel less tangible to American investors, but he argued that risk is inherent everywhere—even domestically. He stressed the importance of conducting thorough research and being prepared for both gains and losses, much like with high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.Daniel shared his journey from growing up in Canada to moving to Croatia, where he worked in market research, consulting, and real estate across Eastern Europe. His work with family offices exposed him to how high-net-worth individuals structure investments across various asset classes. This perspective gave him unique insights into global wealth flows, capital structures, and emerging markets. Today, through his company Core S, Daniel focuses on connecting investors with opportunities across North America, Europe, and beyond.He also noted Africa's role in supplying critical commodities such as lithium and uranium. On technology, Daniel and Kenner discussed the growing influence of AI, with Daniel stressing the importance of human oversight and Kenner noting advancements like VastSolutionsGroup's own AI engine “Einstein.” Both agreed that quantum computing may be the next transformative leap for entrepreneurs and investors.Daniel described Croatia and Eastern Europe as ripe for investment in tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, and sports, though he noted challenges such as limited access to capital compared to the U.S. He advised U.S. entrepreneurs looking abroad to identify what's missing domestically and seek those opportunities internationally—whether in commodities, manufacturing, or technology. Kenner closed the episode by underscoring the value of international diversification, encouraging entrepreneurs to explore global opportunities for growth, tax strategy, and risk management.Takeaways• Globalization has made international investing essential.• Diversifying investments can lower overall portfolio risk.• Traveling can provide valuable insights into global markets.• There are risks in every investment, domestic or international.• America remains a strong player in the global market.• Emerging markets like UAE and Saudi Arabia offer opportunities.• AI is transforming investment strategies and decision-making.• Investors should conduct thorough research before entering new markets.• Croatia is becoming an attractive destination for investors.• Understanding local cultures and markets is crucial for success.Sound Bites• There's risk wherever you invest.• You have to do your research.• Look at you, nice, man.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAI isn't just coming for entry-level jobs—it's coming for the boardroom.In this episode, Pete Gilfillan dives deep into a question most corporate executives haven't fully faced yet: Could AI replace your job? With rapid advances in automation, data-driven decision-making, and AI leadership tools, even high-level roles are now at risk. Pete breaks down 8 reasons why senior-level executives aren't immune—and why it's time to have a Plan B.In this episode, Pete discusses:Routine Task AutomationAI tools like RPA (Robotic Process Automation) are now handling scheduling, spreadsheet management, and data tracking—tasks many executives touch daily.Cost Efficiency PressuresWith AI reducing labor costs and improving productivity, companies are downsizing—even at the top—to stay competitive.AI Decision-Making CapabilitiesNo longer just a data assistant, AI can now interpret massive datasets and recommend strategic actions, traditionally an executive's job.Operational StreamliningFrom marketing to supply chains, AI is optimizing core functions. Companies need fewer leaders when tech handles execution.Productivity Gains Mean Fewer PeopleOne executive using AI can now produce what used to take a team of 10. That's good for efficiency—and bad for headcount.Industry-Wide DisruptionAI is transforming finance, manufacturing, and logistics. Roles are being consolidated, restructured, or eliminated entirely.AI in LeadershipYes, some companies are testing AI in high-level decision-making roles. It's not just assisting leadership—it's becoming leadership.Economic Downturn AccelerationRecessions and market shifts are speeding up AI adoption. As businesses cut costs, AI is replacing roles—especially expensive ones.Key Takeaways:AI isn't just automating tasks—it's replacing strategic roles.Executives are not immune—AI is already making leadership decisions in some companies.The time to prepare for disruption is now—not after a layoff.Diversifying your income and building a Plan B is critical.Franchising can offer control, income security, and a future outside of corporate uncertainty.“If you think AI won't affect your executive role—you're already behind. The best time to build your Plan B is before you need it.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

My guest on today's show is Taylor Schulte, CFP®, host of the Stay Wealthy Retirement Show Podcast.   In this episode, we discuss the often-overlooked aspects of retirement planning, focusing on the importance of understanding blind spots, the need for purpose in retirement, and the role of community. We explore cash management strategies, the limitations of the 4% rule, and the benefits of flexible withdrawal strategies to ensure a successful transition into retirement. Our conversation emphasizes the need for intentional planning and the significance of having a solid foundation for financial decisions in retirement.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

Purpose and fulfillment are crucial in retirement; many underestimate this transition. Community involvement can significantly enhance the retirement experience. Cash management is vital during the transition to retirement to avoid emotional roller coasters. The 4% rule is outdated and overly conservative for many retirees. Flexible withdrawal strategies can provide more confidence and adaptability in retirement spending. Mistakes in retirement planning can have severe consequences due to the lack of time to recover. Diversifying investments is essential to manage risks during retirement. Having a cash war chest can help weather financial storms during retirement. The best investment plan is one that aligns with your personal goals and allows for flexibility.

Ross Simmonds breaks down how AI overviews and LLMs are changing search—and what small businesses can do to keep winning. We dig into why brand and owned channels matter more than ever, how to diversify beyond Google, which third-party domains LLMs love to cite, and a simple focus formula for content distribution. Key TakeawaysThe SERP is shifting to answers and transactions; fewer clicks to your site means brand + owned channels are mission-critical. Now is the time to publish unique, story-driven content that LLMs can cite later. Create assets your “future you” will be grateful for. Diversify discovery: show up where buyers research (TikTok, Pinterest, Instagram, Etsy), not just on Google. Search behavior has shifted—people use Instagram/YouTube/TikTok for ideas and how-tos; optimize for those journeys. To influence LLM answers, seed multiple authoritative domains (LinkedIn, Reddit, Medium, Quora) with your message. “Be excellent on one channel” first; syndicate elsewhere even if it's not perfect—then expand. Optimize your life too: sleep and calendars drive better marketing than nonstop grind. Listener Action ItemsPick your “home” channel and get excellent at it for 90 days; syndicate the same posts to 2 other platforms with light edits. Publish 3–5 unique, story-rich assets this month that your future self wants LLMs to cite. Seed third-party domains (LinkedIn article, Reddit thread, Medium post, Quora answer) with your core message to boost LLM citation odds. Audit discovery: can buyers find you on Pinterest/Instagram/TikTok/Etsy for your “money” searches? If not, claim and optimize profiles. Protect your energy: schedule sleep, workouts, and weekly calendar reviews before adding new marketing experiments. Connect With Ross:LinkedinGet Ross's book: Create Once, Distribute Forever Text me your questions or comments!Does SEO feel confusing, overwhelming, or just plain impossible to figure out?

On this episode of Trust the Plan Podcast with Nick Hopwood, CFP® and Preston Gee, CFP® of Peak Wealth, the focus was on the rising availability of private investments within 401(k) plans. They discussed how options like private equity and private credit, while traditionally reserved for institutional investors, are slowly being introduced into retirement accounts through specialized structures. Although access is still limited and not open to all participants, regulatory changes and industry innovation are beginning to pave the way. Nick and Preston emphasized that while these investments can offer diversification and long-term growth potential, they come with added complexity and are best suited for well-informed investors with a long time horizon. — Peak Wealth Management is a financial planning and wealth management firm in Plymouth, MI.

What happens when two people with a shared vision for community, craftsmanship, and legacy decide to take the leap into shop ownership? For Scott and his wife, the answer is Delaware Metals. In this inspiring conversation, Scott Bruneau shares how he and his wife purchased a decades-old, well-run machine shop—not as a quick flip, but as a long-term investment in American manufacturing, their team, and their community.  With over 20 years in the industry himself, Scott knew the road ahead would be demanding. But armed with a clear “why,” a strong culture-first mindset, and a willingness to learn from both successes and mistakes, he's been steering Delaware Metals into new markets, upgrading capabilities, and building a younger, highly skilled workforce. We cover everything from the buying process and financing tips, to shop layout improvements, training strategies, and the reality of recruiting in today's tight labor market. Scott also opens up about the importance of open-book leadership—sharing the numbers, empowering the team, and making sure everyone understands their role in the shop's growth. Whether you're dreaming about buying your first shop, preparing to sell yours, or simply looking for leadership inspiration, Scott's story is packed with actionable wisdom.

What if the next frontier of manufacturing leadership isn't on the shop floor—but in the hearts and minds of your people? In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Paul sits down with Dana Gruber, third-generation owner and president of ATCO Tool & Manufacturing. Dana didn't grow up on the machines—she came from a career in cosmetology—but found herself drawn back into the family business with a mission that goes beyond precision parts: Creating an emotionally safe and psychologically aware workplace. From investing in cutting-edge technology like 3D metal printing to redefining what leadership looks like in a male-dominated industry, Dana is helping transform not just her shop in Meadville, PA—but the way we think about what it means to lead. She opens up about her personal healing journey, the emotional baggage many team members bring into the shop, and how building trust, vulnerability, and open communication has changed the game for her employees. This episode is a refreshing departure from the traditional “just make chips” mindset. Dana's story is raw, thoughtful, and surprisingly practical. Whether you're skeptical of “soft skills” or actively searching for ways to build a stronger team culture, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what truly powers a great machine shop.
