    Jesse fields six wide-ranging listener questions that dig into the heart of financial planning and investing. He opens with a challenge to the idea that age alone dictates portfolio strategy, emphasizing instead that time horizons, goals, and diversification determine the right balance between growth and preservation. From there, Jesse advises a listener who recently inherited $1 million on how to integrate the windfall into an early retirement plan through detailed cash flow projections, withdrawal strategies, and careful consideration of pensions and Social Security. Next, he unpacks the difference between risk tolerance and risk capacity—framing them as willingness versus ability to take risk—and illustrates how these concepts vary depending on age, assets, and future income. A question about bonds leads to a deep dive on duration, interest rate sensitivity, and why bond funds and individual bonds behave more alike than many investors assume, with practical guidance on structuring fixed income for retirement needs. Shifting to income growth, Jesse shares seven strategies for boosting earnings over time, from negotiating raises and pursuing certifications to building businesses, climbing the career ladder, and gaining equity participation. Finally, he closes with a clear primer on Bitcoin, explaining blockchain, mining, and the role of trust in money, while stressing that investors don't need cryptocurrency in their portfolios—but should at least understand what it is and why it matters. Key Takeaways: • Investment strategy should be based on goals and timelines, not just age. • A $1 million inheritance should be planned with the same rigor as any other asset, while respecting any personal or emotional ties. • Risk tolerance reflects your willingness to endure volatility, while risk capacity measures your financial ability to recover from losses. • Bond funds and individual bonds are functionally similar, especially when held to maturity. • Negotiating with employers or job hopping can be effective short-term paths to higher pay. Building side businesses or securing equity participation can create outsized wealth growth over time. • Investors don't need crypto in their portfolios, but understanding how it works helps in today's financial landscape.

Jason explains that his primary motivation is to be present for his family, and after the birth of his first child he realized his deeper purpose: to guide other creators toward the same balance of financial stability and personal freedom. He leverages his own experience—recurring client work, community building, and two podcasts (“Live in the Feast” and “Ask Res”)—to offer templates, strategies, and personal lessons that cut through the overwhelm of today's information‑heavy market. Jason's coaching focuses on narrowing an ideal‑client profile, identifying red‑flags, and providing actionable templates that shorten the learning curve for his students. He emphasizes that a CEO's role is fundamentally about serving—first the customers, then the family, and finally any team or community.

    What would you do if you went 7 years without a paycheck, maxed out your home equity, and still couldn't get a bank to believe in your business?Welcome, dreamers, doers, and those stuck somewhere in between.This isn't just another business podcast. It's a front-row seat to a story that will shake your assumptions, stir your ambition, and maybe even make you a little uncomfortable—in the best way possible.Meet John Gleason, a man who didn't just flirt with risk—he married it. He took out a $67,000 loan against his modest Boston home, not to renovate or invest in something safe, but to build a business from scratch. No investors. No safety net. Just belief. And for seven long years, that belief was tested in ways most of us can't imagine. No paychecks. No bank support. Just mounting pressure, growing responsibilities, and a family watching it all unfold.But John didn't fold.He kept showing up. Day after day. Month after month. Year after year. And through it all, one thing never left his desk: a three-ring binder. Inside it? A business plan—not just a document, but a living, breathing roadmap that guided every decision, every pivot, every late-night call to a vendor asking for just a little more time.This episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show with host Don Williams isn't about overnight success. It's about the grind behind the glory. It's about what it really takes to go from being unbankable to securing a $1.785 million credit line, scaling to $14 million in revenue, and selling to a private equity firm—all without losing your soul.You'll hear about the moments that nearly broke him. The quiet conversations at home when the money ran out. The vendors who had to be convinced to stay. The employees who were given ownership of their roles and the freedom to lead. And the moment when, after years of struggle, John walked into a national trade show and walked out with a deal that changed everything.But this isn't just John's story. It's a mirror. A challenge. A reminder that the difference between those who make it and those who don't often comes down to one thing: the willingness to keep going when no one else believes it's worth it.So if you've ever felt like you're building something no one else understands…If you've ever wondered whether the sacrifice is worth it…If you're looking for a reason to keep going, or a blueprint to do it smarter…Download it. Listen to it. Let it remind you why you started—and what's still possible.

    Send us a textThe commercial real estate landscape is evolving, not dying, and Mike "Big Mike" Zlotnick is at the forefront of connecting passive investors with lucrative opportunities. His simple yet powerful philosophy? "We marry money and opportunity."Contrary to popular belief, many commercial property types are thriving post-pandemic. Open-air shopping centers have become particularly attractive investments as supply remains constrained while demand grows. Even previously online-only retailers like Warby Parker have opened hundreds of physical locations, recognizing that customers still want in-person experiences for certain products. Meanwhile, industrial properties continue seeing strong demand due to reshoring initiatives and manufacturing needs. Multifamily remains a necessity-based investment that performs well across economic cycles.Not all commercial property is created equal, however. Zlotnick candidly warns about office space being a "danger zone" due to remote work trends. This level of transparency characterizes his investment approach, which prioritizes downside protection over home runs. "I would rather never lose money than make 10 home runs and 10 strikeouts," he explains, echoing Howard Marks' definition of risk as simply "the possibility of loss."For those interested in commercial real estate syndication, Zlotnick breaks down the essentials: typically, investors need to be accredited ($200,000 annual income or $1 million net worth excluding primary residence), with minimum investments around $100,000. The syndication structure allows investors to participate passively while experienced operators manage the properties, providing both cash flow and potential appreciation.Perhaps most compelling is Zlotnick's perspective on the educational journey of investing. He poses a thought-provoking question: "Are you learning to invest, or are you investing to learn?" This dual nature of investment education underscores that every decision provides valuable lessons, regardless of outcome.Ready to explore commercial real estate investing with a focus on predictable outcomes?

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Alexis Austin, owner of Right Law Group, about how her law firm's management evolved after marriage while focusing on financials and marketing. They explore the firm's shift to a team-based structure, the importance of sustainable growth, and fostering a strong culture to attract top legal talent. Alexis shares her firm's team-based approach that creates success. The focus for her practice is the team of legal support one gets. Everyone works like a well oiled machine to move someone through the process. For clients, they do not meet with a lawyer until they pay, sign a retainer agreement and have had their first call, which is usually someone on the intake team. Creating a good firm is not about the attorney only, it is the team and the great customer service delivered to ensure a client is fully supported. Alexis and Tyson talk about the approach to hiring experienced litigators. For Alexis, the approach is all about ensuring they will fit well with how the firm operates. This involves inviting the individual out to lunch or drinks with other lawyers. This will show their personality and how they get along with other lawyers in a social setting where the environment is less serious. From this point, the individual is offered a formal interview. Doing this in stages allows for Alexis to get to know a potential hire casually before asking the tough questions.Listen to learn more.00:13 How Alexis's role in the law firm changed after marriage3:20 How the firm operates independently, with its own systems 12:13 The firm's team-based approach17:27 The firm's approach to hiring experienced litigators 51:45 Breaking self-sabotage patterns in lawTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Alexis:Website X Instagram Facebook  Linkedin Youtube

    “ Don't be a jack of all social media sites, master of none.” Host Laurie Barkman interviews digital marketing expert Corey Perlman of Impact Social. They discuss Corey's entrepreneurial journey influenced by his parents' careers, the evolving landscape of digital marketing, and the role and potential of AI in the industry. Corey shares insights on building and managing successful teams, the importance of focusing on key social media platforms, and the power of video content. Additionally, he touches on his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and his involvement in the Nurturing Fathers Program alongside his father, Mark. Listeners receive actionable digital marketing tips and inspiration for balancing entrepreneurship with personal purpose.   Takeaways: Pay attention to what the market is asking for. Follow positive signals when exploring new business opportunities or services instead of pushing an idea that isn't gaining traction. Prioritize platforms that align with your target demographics instead of attempting to be active on all social media platforms. Focus on a few and do them exceptionally well. Focus on the emotional and cultural fit of potential team members rather than just their resume. Enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a good cultural fit can often outweigh experience. Stay open to learning and adapting over time. The industry changes rapidly, and keeping updated with new tools and practices will help you and your business stay competitive.   Quote of the Show: “ Don't be a jack of all social media sites, master of none.” - Corey Perlman   This Show Is Sponsored by The Business Transition Sherpa® 100 percent of owners will leave their business one day.

David Prescott "America is not an evil country.

    This week, in episode 264, David C. Barnett and Jennifer Kerhin say they're already making plans for next year: adjusting pricing, conducting employee reviews, and setting budgets. In the past, Jennifer has chosen to restrain growth to give her employees and her processes a chance to catch up. But this coming year? She says she's ready to “unleash the hounds.” And for the first time, she's planning to budget for profit first and then force her expenses to fit her margins. Unlike Jennifer, who conducts employee reviews throughout the year, David saves his evaluations for the end of the year. As he looks forward, he's trying to figure out what the economy means for his business. He's seeing more companies in distress, but also more opportunities to help people with severance packages who decide to buy businesses. Plus: David and Jennifer share how they've each been experimenting with ChatGPT of late.
