In dieser Folge sprechen Markus Elsaesser und Sascha Albrink (Gründer von Sixclicks) darüber, warum Krisen oft die besten Zeiten zum Gründen sind – und wie man aus Druck echte Chancen macht.Sascha hat mitten in der Finanzkrise 2008 gegründet – nicht aus romantischer „Welt-verändern“-Motivation, sondern aus einem sehr ehrlichen Grund: Es musste Geld reinkommen. Während in seiner damaligen Branche (Druck/Kommunikation) die Budgets wegbrachen, erkannte er einen Trend aus den USA: SEO und digitales Marketing standen in Deutschland erst am Anfang – und genau darin lag das Wachstumspotenzial.Im Gespräch geht's außerdem um:Scheitern als Lernkurve: Sascha hat vor Sixclicks bereits zwei Unternehmen gegen die Wand gefahren – und erklärt, warum das in Deutschland oft stigmatisiert wird, aber eigentlich wertvolle Erfahrung ist.Dranbleiben statt früh aufgeben: Viele scheitern nicht wirklich – sie hören nur zu früh auf.Vom Solo-Gründer zur Führungskraft: Wie sich Verantwortung verändert, wenn man die ersten Mitarbeitenden einstellt (inkl. der Story über seinen ersten Mitarbeiter, der bis heute an seiner Seite ist).Corona als „Inkubator“ fürs Digitale: Warum Sixclicks durch Remote-Readiness profitieren konnte, während andere Unternehmen strauchelten.KI im Agenturalltag: Automatisierungen, Assistenzsysteme und Agenten – aber auch klare Grenzen, wenn es um erklärungsbedürftige High-End-Produkte geht.DSGVO als Wettbewerbsvorteil: Warum Regulierung nicht nur bremst, sondern auch Vertrauen und bessere Prozesse schaffen kann.Gründen heute: Sascha würde heute kleiner, spezialisierter und stärker „produktisiert“ starten – und sogar einen Exit-Plan früh mitdenken.Zum Abschluss teilt Sascha drei konkrete Tipps für Gründer:Zuerst dich selbst bezahlen.Nicht zu klein denken – den eigenen Wert kennen.Marketingstrategie vor Produktstrategie: Erst Markt & Vermarktung klären, dann bauen.Wenn du selbst gerade in der Gründungsphase steckst: Sascha bietet an, sich zu vernetzen – die Links zu Sixclicks und seinem LinkedIn-Profil findest du in den Shownotes.

With Tim Krueger, Co-Founder and Partner at Krueger, Fosdyck, Brown, McCall & Associates – New Edge Advisors, LLC Overview For many advisors, the real question isn't how big the business becomes—but what happens next. This episode explores how Tim Krueger and his $1.4B Merrill team rethought succession, liquidity, and legacy to create long-term continuity.

About this episode… For many advisors, success is defined by growth: more clients, more assets, more revenue. But at some point, the question shifts from, “How big can we build this?” to “What happens next?” After nearly two decades at Merrill, Tim Krueger and his partners had built a $1.4B practice and one of the most successful teams in their market. By any traditional measure, the internal sunset path would have been the simplest option. But simplicity wasn't the goal. Protecting clients, creating opportunities for the next generation, and preserving the culture they had built mattered more. That led Tim and his partners to make a very different decision: to break away from the wirehouse, sell out of that environment entirely, and align with NewEdge Advisors in a way that solved for succession, liquidity, and long-term continuity—simultaneously. In this conversation with Louis Diamond, Tim shares how focusing on other people's needs – clients, teammates, and future leaders – became the ultimate growth strategy. Plus, they discuss: Lessons learned over nearly two decades at Merrill—and how structure, team building, and next gen cultivation become paramount. Stepping away from Merrill's CTP retire-in-place program—and what other business owners shared with him that inspired the decision to leave the wirehouse. Opting to align with NewEdge Advisors—and how liquidity and continuity were key factors. “Shrinking to grow”—and why it isn't just a portfolio philosophy, but a business one. Monetizing the business—and how the process can be a new beginning for the business, not an end for the business owners. Building a true runway for G2 and G3—and how it can create a rare win-win-win for founders, teams, and clients alike. It's a candid look at what life after a wirehouse can unlock—and how thinking differently about succession can redefine both legacy and fulfillment.

Firms that wait until a partner is ready to retire have already waited too long, plus 19 more key takeaways.The DisruptorsWith Liz FarrErin Daiber, founder and CEO of Well Balanced Accountants, keeps seeing the same issue in firm after firm. A partner announces their intention to retire within a year or two, and the firm suddenly realizes no one is ready to take over. “Firms are not starting that conversation soon enough,” Daiber says.

No Problem | Hood and Weber: Time to RISE | Proctor: Turn Dumb Ideas into Brilliant Solutions | Carter-Gray: How 1 Poor Review Strengthened the Firm | Hartman: Upwork to “40 Under 40” in 3 Years “They're not thinking about succession planning as a strategy,” she explains. Instead of treating succession as an ongoing process, firms see it as simply the point in time when a partner exits the firm. According to Daiber, succession planning should ideally begin with hiring decisions and culture building so that firms can be confident that they won't lose clients or staff due to uncertainty about what might happen as partners get older.  When succession planning fails, firms lose key employees before they even reach partnership consideration. “We're losing them much sooner than that, which creates a big hole in the pipeline,” Daiber notes. She identifies an inability to have difficult conversations as the root cause, particularly when dealing with founders who view the firm as their legacy. 

In this episode of Living Off Rentals, host Kirby Atwell sits down with Stephen Arnaud, an engineer, W-2 employee, and father of three, who's intentionally building his path out of the 9-to-5 through short-term rentals. Stephen shares why, even though he enjoys his career, the demands of a W-2 job started to conflict with family life and long-term freedom. Like many high-performing professionals, he realized that traditional investing alone wasn't going to give him the flexibility he wanted anytime soon. That realization led him to short-term rentals. If you are still working a 9-to-5 but thinking seriously about building income outside of it and a pathway to financial independence, this episode offers a realistic roadmap. Listen and enjoy!

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Brett Swarts, founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, to explore strategies for minimizing capital gains taxes when selling real estate or business assets. Brett Swarts is the founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, specializing in advanced strategies to help investors defer or eliminate capital gains taxes. With extensive experience in structuring Deferred Sales Trusts and other exit strategies, Brett has guided numerous real estate and business owners in building tax-efficient, long-term wealth plans. Brett explains how the Deferred Sales Trust (DST) offers a flexible alternative to traditional 1031 exchanges, providing investors with greater control over timing, liquidity, and investment choices while deferring taxes in a manner that is legally compliant under IRS guidelines. Brett outlines the mechanics of a DST, detailing how proceeds from a sale can be structured to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest in a variety of assets. You'll get insight into the advantages of a DST over standard tax-deferral methods, including reduced pressure to time the market, expanded diversification opportunities, and the ability to preserve wealth across multiple investment vehicles. Jonathan and Brett also discuss common misconceptions about tax-deferred strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding legal structures and working with experienced professionals. The conversation highlights how these tools can fit into a broader estate and legacy planning framework, ensuring that wealth is transferred efficiently to future generations while maintaining flexibility for investors today. Several real-world examples demonstrate how investors have effectively utilized DSTs to manage risk, maintain cash flow, and safeguard portfolio value in dynamic markets. Brett emphasizes that while a DST can benefit many investors, it is particularly effective for those with significant gains, complex portfolios, or long-term wealth preservation goals. The discussion concludes with actionable guidance on evaluating whether a DST aligns with an investor's exit strategy and long-term financial objectives. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to approach capital gains tax planning strategically, integrating DSTs into their broader real estate and business investment strategies. Jonathan and Brett provide a clear framework for deferring taxes, diversifying holdings, and protecting wealth, enabling investors to make informed decisions that align with both their financial and personal objectives. In this episode, you will hear: How the Deferred Sales Trust works as an alternative to 1031 exchanges Ways to defer capital gains taxes while maintaining investment flexibility Strategies for diversifying proceeds and protecting portfolio value Common misconceptions about tax-deferred exit strategies How estate and legacy planning can integrate with a DST Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Y'all, we're diving into some heavy stuff today, and it's got me thinking about the state of our nation. We're talking about celebrities making moves to secure citizenship elsewhere, and it's raising some serious questions about what's really going on behind the scenes.What's brewing in this episode:The surprising trend of A-listers seeking dual citizenshipWhy Jimmy Kimmel's recent announcement is raising eyebrowsThe unsettling vibe in the air about our country's directionHow political shifts are making some folks consider their optionsThis episode might have you looking at your passport a little differently. We're not sugarcoating anything here – it's time to face some hard truths about the state of our nation and what it could mean for all of us.So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's talk about why some of our favorite stars are eyeing the exit signs. Are they onto something we should know about?Remember, knowledge is power. Are you ready to peek behind the curtain and see what's really going on in the land of the free?

As an individual, you have to carry the weight of safety and readiness anywhere you go in order to preserve your life and loved ones around you through awareness of your surroundings. Most people are capable of carrying a firearm, so it is your sole responsibility to learn how to handle it properly for the sake of its purpose, if ever necessary to use it. If you are witness to a serious crime and choose not to report it but rather to record it silently, you are no hero; you are a coward. Lack of engagement isn't even cowardly if you cannot handle the situation for yourself realistically, but calling for the professionals who can diffuse the problem isn't a weak move either. Taking some sort of action in the appropriate measure is all that is important in that moment. Crime happens wherever opportunity is available. Do you have an escape plan for your family if your house were to ever catch fire? Do you think of an exit strategy when you are out at largely populated areas and events that you inform your family of and expect them to adhere to if the need happens to arise? Emergencies unfortunately happen, usually without any notice. While there is the option to take it to the extreme, most of us could do with at least some sort of contingency plan in place that everyone in the house or family is on the same page and awareness about. Having a rehearsed plan allows people to know how to respond, especially under stress in a moment when things can get muddy fast.What is the purpose of owning tools if we don't know how to use them? Educating yourself is the first step in knowing how best to react in uncommon yet possible scenarios that could cost someone their life, particularly if they choose to remain untrained in the use of said tools. The goal should be to improve the situations that we are involved in, not escalate them out of ignorant fear. Create plans that ensure a higher likelihood of safety for you and your family that you discuss with each and all members of your tribe. Create calm and comfort through a chaotic moment by having and exit plan in place and sticking to it when it matters most.

How to Calculate Your Wealth Gap and Retire on Your Terms If you sold your business tomorrow, would it fund your retirement? In this episode of Retirement Planning Simplified, Joe Curry breaks down how to calculate your “wealth gap”, the difference between what you need for financial independence and what you already have saved outside your business and home.

Just because there's money in the bank doesn't mean your business is truly profitable. In this episode, Danielle lays out the most common (and sneaky) financial mistakes she sees entrepreneurs and small business owners making without even realizing they're doing it. From undercharging to over-relying on your gut, Danielle is not here to shame you—she's here to show you how to avoid them so you have the tools you need to build your business with confidence, clarity, and a financial plan that supports your vision.  Key Takeaways:  Your Bank Balance is Not the Full Picture: Why real profitability lives beyond what's in your checking account. Profit is not the same as cash flow, and both matter in different ways.  You Don't Have to Do It All Yourself: You're not a bookkeeper—and you don't need to be! Delegating your money tasks is one of the most empowering moves you can make. Outsourcing your books (or any task that's not your expertise) isn't giving up control, it's giving yourself the ability to make smarter business decisions.  Knowing Your Numbers Puts You In Control: Reviewing your financial statements monthly isn't just “nice”, it's necessary. It keeps you from guessing and it's how you grow with intention.  Pricing for Profit, Not Panic: Undercharging leads to burnout. You deserve to get paid what your work is worth—and then some. Create a Plan for the Slow Seasons: Feast-or-famine is not a strategy. Use data to build stability and breathe easier year-round. Think In Terms of the Long-Game: Even if you love your work now, it's never too early to plan for the future. Building a business that runs without you means real freedom. Topics Discussed: (00:49 – 01:43) Mistake #1: The Illusion of a Healthy Bank Balance (01:44 – 02:47) Mistake #2: Doing Your Own Bookkeeping and Ignoring Your Financials (02:47 – 03:16) Mistake #3: Not Looking at Your Financials on a Monthly Basis (03:24 – 04:47) Mistake #4 & 5: Not Charging Enough and Not Raising Prices Regularly (04:48 – 05:30) Mistake #6: Not Tracking Return of Investments on Expenses (05:31 – 06:22) Mistake #7: Chasing Revenue Over Profit (06:24 – 08:07) Mistake #8 & 9: Hiring a Team and Asking for Help Too Late (08:07 – 08:53) Mistake #10: Not Planning for Slow Seasons and Creating a Money Buffer (08:53 – 09:59) Mistake #11 & 12: Ignoring Financial Red Flags and Relying on Your Gut Alone (10:00 – 10:34) Mistake #13: Allowing One Client or Revenue Source to Dominate Your Business  (10:35 – 11:10) Mistake #14: Not Having Standard Operating Procedures In Order to Delegate (11:11 – 11:42) Mistake #15: Inconsistent Invoicing and Follow Up  (13:57 – 14:45) Mistake #16: Not Creating an Exit Plan and Having a Long-Term Vision for the Future   Resources:  Kickstart Accounting's CFO Services | kickstartaccountinginc.com/cfo   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc  

What happens after the founder exits? Too often, regret, confusion, and loss of identity. In this powerful session from the Exit Planning Institute, Jerome Myers delivers a wake-up call:  most exit plans ignore the human element. While others focus on finances and operations, Jerome highlights the missing pillar: personal planning. Press play and rethink what it means to exit with excellence. [00:00 – 12:00] Exit is Inevitable, But Fulfillment is Not 100% of founders will exit: “Sell it, give it away, or close it.” Most advisors ignore personal planning, but it's what leads to regret “The stool wobbles without the third leg. We're building incomplete exits.” [12:01 – 25:00] The Founder's Exit Paradox The paradox: rich and free, but lost “They decouple their identity from the business and enter a void.” Common regrets: loss of purpose, isolation, status drop, boredom Why does money only solve 2 of the 5 levels in Maslow's hierarchy [25:01 – 38:00] Six Centers of Doubt: The Hidden Struggles Introducing the Exit Paradox Iceberg Self-image, Relationships, Work, Health, Prosperity, Significance “If you don't know where you're going, you won't like where you end up.” 60% of founders' core relationships disappear post-exit [38:01 – 48:15] From “What's Next?” to N.E.X.T. Nourish, Evaluate, Xplore, Transcend: a framework for life after exit “Most are exiting from, not to. That's why they regret it.” How Jerome helped his father find purpose again, becoming a mayor in his 60s [48:16 – End] Real Tools, Real People, Real Legacy The NEO Assessment: Six archetypes for post-exit personality “Ask your clients: What are you optimizing for, money or fulfillment?” Advisors: why you need to engage the personal side, or risk losing the AUM “The only way your life ever matters is if you are positively impacting other people's lives.” Key Quotes: “Money solves the first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy. Everything after that -  purpose, belonging, impact - needs something deeper.” – Jerome Myers “The biggest problem in exit planning is that most founders are exiting from instead of exiting to.” – Jerome Myers Ready for your next chapter?

In Episode 144 of The Liberty Den, the Badlands Media crew returns with a late-night breakdown of the week's most explosive underreported stories, and a few wild theories to match. Kicking off with “what they're not telling you” headlines, the panel dives into a rash of sudden deaths linked to unexplained health issues, prompting a raw discussion on vaccine fallout and medical corruption. They explore growing speculation around Biden's mental and physical decline, theorizing on whether the regime is setting the stage for his exit, and who's actually pulling the strings behind the scenes. From underground biolabs in California and lab-grown meat to Bitcoin conspiracy theories, Trump's AI master plan, and the ongoing DEI collapse, nothing is off the table. Mixing sharp insight with unfiltered banter, the hosts call out the media's failures, question official narratives, and deliver a late-night therapy session for freedom-loving skeptics. Whether they're roasting liberals, rethinking history, or arguing over which Bitcoin theory makes the most sense, this episode is classic Liberty Den: edgy, irreverent, and unapologetically awake.

Let me ask you something… when was the last time you actually felt at peace? Like, deep, soul-level peace — not drowning in your to-do list, not filling every empty space on your calendar just to feel productive. When was the last time you felt calm? Or honestly… the last time you felt like yourself. Can't remember? I get it. Today, I'm coming in with a message you probably didn't know you needed. We're talking burnout — how to recognize it, why it's showing up in your life, and most importantly, how to finally break free from it. And I'm not here to sugarcoat anything. I'm giving you the raw, real Emily per usual, because I've been there — burnt out, overcommitted, and losing my sense of self because I was trying to do all things and be all things for everyone else.  If that's you right now, this episode is your reset button. It's time to clear your calendar, set some boundaries, and finally step into the peace and purpose God designed for you. Because here's the thing: You were never meant to live burnt out. You were meant to live blazing forward, filled with clarity, energy, and purpose. Let's dive in! In this episode: Why your significance is not tied to your busyness Signs of Burnout (emotional, behavioral, physical) What Is Burnout? What Causes Burnout?

Jon Herold unpacks the gold rush-level panic sweeping Washington as Trump's administration tightens the financial noose around the establishment. With Elon Musk and Rand Paul calling for a Fort Knox audit, the sudden gold transfers from London to New York are raising serious questions. Is America's gold supply as solid as they claim, or are we about to witness a historic financial shake-up? Meanwhile, Trump's Ukraine peace talks are moving forward, without Ukraine. European leaders are fuming as they scramble to hold their own emergency meetings, trying to figure out what happens when Trump, Putin, and Saudi Arabia make the decisions instead. Zelensky, desperate to stay relevant, has rejected Trump's rare earth minerals deal, but with U.S. aid drying up, his leverage is disappearing fast. Back in D.C., the bureaucratic purge continues, with thousands of government workers getting axed and blue-state attorneys general scrambling to stop Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from exposing more corruption. Internet searches for "BleachBit" and "offshore bank accounts" are skyrocketing in the swamp, proving one thing: they know what's coming. With Trump steamrolling through the courts, the deep state losing its funding pipelines, and the old system collapsing in real-time, the stage is set for a political reckoning like we've never seen before.
