Sterling K. Brown's role as Randall in the beloved series This is Us practically made him a household name. But the actor went to Stanford to study economics with the intention of working in finance. As you'll hear in Tom Power's conversation with Sterling, the pull of acting was too strong and he eventually transitioned to doing it full time. They discuss how he went from finance to acting, his mother's impact on him and his role as a secret service agent on the series Paradise.

Most of us don't wake up intending to serve money. And yet, over time, financial pressure, goals, and anxieties can quietly begin shaping our decisions, priorities, and even our sense of security. Jesus addresses this directly in Luke 16:13: “You cannot serve God and money.” But that doesn't mean money has no place in the life of a believer. It simply means money must never be our master. The invitation of Scripture is far better: not to serve money, but to serve God with money. Money Is a Gift to Receive with Gratitude One of the most important starting points is recognizing that money is not inherently bad—it's a gift. Ecclesiastes 5:19 reminds us, “Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them—this is the gift of God.” God is not opposed to provision or even enjoyment. In fact, when Jesus fed the five thousand in Matthew 14, He didn't just meet the need—there were twelve baskets left over. The message isn't excess for its own sake, but that God's provision is abundant and generous. When we begin here, with gratitude, money shifts from something we grasp for to something we receive. Money Reveals What We Trust At the same time, money carries real spiritual weight. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” Notice—it's not money itself, but our love for it that leads us astray. Money has a way of exposing our hearts. Every financial decision—spending, saving, giving—asks a deeper question: What am I trusting right now? Am I looking to money for security? Am I using it to shape my identity? Or am I trusting God as my provider? Money is morally neutral, but how we use it is deeply spiritual. Money Is a Tool for Purpose, Not a Goal Scripture consistently points us beyond accumulation. Ephesians 4:28 tells us to work “so that [we] may have something to share with anyone in need.” That's a profound shift. We don't earn simply to build our own lives—we earn to participate in God's provision for others. This reframes everything: Work becomes more than survival—it becomes participation in God's generosity. Saving becomes preparation, not fear. Investing becomes stewardship when it supports future responsibility and generosity. Money finds its greatest purpose when it flows outward, not when it's hoarded inward. Putting Money in Its Proper Place Jesus' words in Luke 16:13 remind us that money must remain a servant, never a master. John Wesley captured this beautifully when he wrote: “Money is an excellent gift of God… it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, raiment for the naked.” That's a picture of redeemed money—money used for purposes that reflect the heart of God. Holding Money with Open Hands There's one more truth that frees us: money is temporary. 1 Timothy 6:7 says, “We brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” Every dollar we manage is something we steward for a season. But how we use it can have a lasting impact. When we remember that: We enjoy God's provision without clinging to it. We plan wisely without placing our hope in wealth. We give generously because we trust God to provide again. So before your next financial decision—whether it's spending, saving, investing, or giving—try asking: “Lord, how can this money serve You and others?” Because money is never the destination. It's a tool placed in our hands to accomplish something far greater than ourselves.

The League Episode #45 – Show Notes In this episode of The League, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down how rising geopolitical tensions are driving energy security concerns and accelerating investment in solar and storage. They share insights from Puerto Rico Energy Week, where grid instability is pushing rapid adoption of microgrids, distributed solar, and battery storage. Benoy also highlights the real world impact of installing solar and storage systems for families with critical 24 hour medical needs. The conversation shifts to new momentum in nuclear, with X-energy and Talen Energy partnering to develop small modular reactors in the United States. They also discuss National Grid's thermal network pilots in New York, which use community scale ground source heat pumps to provide efficient heating and cooling.  Host Bio: Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed over 100 MWs of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $45 million in Renewable Energy Credits (“REC”) transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market.  As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MWs of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio.  Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi billion dollar hedge fund. Benoy holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from NYU Stern, where he was an Alumni Scholar.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Seigel explains how to run internal compliance audits as a proactive defense strategy—before HR errors, documentation gaps, or billing issues turn into denials, paybacks, fines, or legal exposure. He breaks practice compliance into three core pillars—HR, billing/coding, and clinical documentation—and shows why audits aren't just “paperwork,” they're a practical way to protect revenue, reduce risk, and sleep better at night knowing your practice is audit-ready. Brandon also outlines the real-world cost of noncompliance, from employment documentation penalties to massive revenue loss tied to preventable billing mistakes. Brandon provides a clear audit framework covering what to review, how often to audit (internal vs. external cadence), and which high-risk areas commonly trigger payer scrutiny—E/M coding, modifiers, telehealth, documentation-medical necessity alignment, and contract-driven requirements. You'll hear how to build an audit calendar, use sampling and peer review, document corrective actions, and measure outcomes with compliance and revenue-cycle metrics like denial rates, appeal performance, training completion, and time-to-resolution. The takeaway: consistent internal audits create a sustainable compliance culture that protects patients, staff, and the long-term stability of your private practice. Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel! Brandon Seigel, President of Wellness Works Management Partners, is an internationally known private practice consultant with over fifteen years of executive leadership experience. Seigel's book "The Private Practice Survival Guide" takes private practice entrepreneurs on a journey to unlocking key strategies for surviving―and thriving―in today's business environment.

In 2023, stepping into the CFO role at Twilio, Aidan Viggiano faced a defining reality: “the first hard call was a layoff,” she tells us. The company had surged during the pandemic as digital communications accelerated, but by mid-2022, growth slowed while profitability lagged. “We can't be slowing in growth and not be profitable and not generating cash,” she explains, describing the moment that forced a fundamental shift in strategy.Over the next six months, Twilio reduced its workforce by about 40%, she tells us—a decision that tested not just financial discipline but leadership resolve. For Viggiano, the experience underscored a core principle: communication is as critical as the decision itself. “The importance of over communication…being transparent… and treating everybody with humanity,” she tells us, became central to how she navigated the transition.This moment reflects a broader leadership mindset shaped by aligning growth with accountability. The pivot from rapid expansion to balanced performance required not only cost action but a cultural reset—one grounded in clarity, trust, and execution.At the same time, Viggiano continues to frame Twilio's value through its role as a communications infrastructure provider, powering interactions between businesses and consumers at scale. From authentication codes to real-time customer engagement, the company's reach is often invisible but essential.For Viggiano, the lesson is clear: finance leadership is not only about numbers—it is about guiding organizations through inflection points with transparency, discipline, and humanity.

Finance doesn't have to feel like a foreign language. Wall Street trader-turned-financial educator Vivian Tu helps millions of people make sense of money, breaking down complex concepts into everyday terms you can understand. She shares how she broke free from the stress of living paycheck to paycheck — and explores how we can shift power structures to give everyone a real shot at building wealth.(Following the talk, Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, interviews Tu on why financial literacy isn't just about building generational wealth but rather is a way to pass on generational knowledge to your loved ones.)Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Live Mar 27, 2026 | Yaron Brook ShowOne Month of War -- Is Victory Possible, What Does it Look Like? | Yaron Brook Show

If there's one formula that truly determines your happiness (and success) as a business owner, it's this: capacity equals demand. What does that mean? It's simple. If you have too much capacity—too many employees, too much equipment—and not enough demand from customers, life gets stressful and you start losing money. On the flip side, when demand is off the hook and you don't have enough capacity, you're overwhelmed, your team gets burned out, and clients get frustrated. Capacity = demand isn't just a finance concept—it's the secret sauce to scaling a home service business without losing your sanity. The closer you keep these two variables in balance, the smoother your business runs, and the more you can enjoy building something valuable for your team, your customers, and yourself. It's not always easy. Staying intentional about this formula is a daily practice, and few talk about the emotional impact of getting it right—or wrong. But when things finally click, there's nothing better. The compounding value of capacity = demand. This episode dives deep into the math, mindset, and actionable strategies for starting, scaling, and optimizing your service business.    In this episode, you will discover: The 5 essential steps to properly setting up your business finances, including separating your personal and business accounts and understanding your roles as both CEO and owner. The magic formula for running a service business successfully: Capacity equals demand, and what happens when those are out of balance. The reality of the inflection point of scaling—why scaling up means changing roles, taking risks, and investing in marketing, recruiting, and infrastructure, as well as the challenges of hiring and retaining employees. The pros and cons of commission pay vs. hourly pay and how these choices affect production rates, employee motivation, and business profitability. Whether buying equipment to save on taxes actually works, and the math behind making effective asset purchases.   "Capacity equals demand is the magic formula to grow a business that doesn't suck."  - Dan Platta   Topics Covered: 00:01:05 – The "Math Game" of Business Dan Plata explains that every business, regardless of its niche (landscaping, window cleaning, janitorial, epoxy floor coating, etc.), is fundamentally about managing math—specifically, clarity on profits, costs, and investments. He emphasizes that while serving people is important, being profitable is essential to benefit everyone involved: family, customers, employees. 00:01:54 – Step 1: Separate Business and Personal Finances Business owners must stop mixing personal and business transactions. Dan Plata describes how commingling these makes it "impossible to make good decisions" because you can't accurately track expenses, investments, or returns. Creating separation brings immediate clarity and allows assessment of where money is coming in and going out. 00:02:46 – Step 2: Distinguishing CEO vs. Owner Roles At this point, Dan Plata highlights the distinction between being the CEO (running day-to-day operations, making business decisions) and the owner/investor (providing capital and expecting a return). Many owners only pay themselves for their labor and never separate out an owner's return, resulting in businesses that aren't truly profitable when they step away from operations. 00:05:54 – Step 3: Debt Isn't Evil; Credit Cards & Business Loans Have a Place Transitioning to finance strategy, Dan Plata clarifies the difference between personal debt aversion and business leverage. He explains that credit cards, when paid off monthly, offer "0% interest for 30–40 days" plus bonus points, making them an asset for cash flow management. 00:09:02 – Step 4: Keep Accounting Systems Separate from Operating Systems Don't expect one tool to do it all: Dan Plata advises against integrating operational software (e.g., Jobber) with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks). Mixing them leads to confusion and data misuse. Specialized tools should do what they do best in their respective domains. 00:12:24 – Step 5: LLC, S-Corp, and the $100K Revenue Turning Point Once your net income is $25,000–$50,000 or more, Dan Plata recommends switching your LLC to be taxed as an S-corp using IRS Form 2553. This shift enables business owners to save significantly on payroll taxes by paying themselves a reasonable wage (subject to payroll taxes) and taking the remainder as a distribution (not subject to payroll tax). The math: at $50K net income, payroll taxes drop from ~$7,600 to ~$3,800. 00:44:45 – The "Magic Formula": Capacity Equals Demand Dan Plata reveals that aligning your business's capacity (employees, resources) with customer demand is the key to a sustainable and less stressful business. Too much capacity and not enough demand leads to underutilized workers and attrition; too much demand and not enough capacity leads to burnout and customer dissatisfaction. Straying from this balance creates chaos and problems in business operations. 01:26:15 – Employee Acquisition Cost & Recruitment Mindset Investing in high-quality employees is critical. Dan Plata points out he spent $35,000 on job ads to hire 45 people for a million-dollar business, and it was the best investment made—more effective than spending on customer marketing. He recommends a mindset shift: treat recruiting costs as investments, not expenses. 01:50:47 – Commission Pay vs. Hourly Pay Dan Plata explains how commission-based pay aligns incentives—employees win when the company wins. Commission motivates higher production rates (often boosting output by 30–50%), as workers are directly rewarded for their efficiency and results. Hourly pay firms up quality but can encourage slower work, as workers are paid for time, not outcomes. 02:13:54 – Buying Assets the Right Way & Year-End Tax Purchases When scaling, don't buy equipment upfront just to "save on taxes." Dan Plata stresses that it's best to invest in marketing and recruiting first—these are what actually drive growth and profits. Buy assets only after you have work and employees to use them. Finance 70%, put 30% down to avoid being upside down, and avoid new vehicles—used work trucks are sufficient for business needs.   Key Takeaways Setting up your business finances correctly from the start is essential; separate personal and business accounts to gain clarity and make better decisions As your business grows past $100,000 revenue or $25,000 net income, switch your LLC to be taxed as an S-corp—this can save you thousands on payroll taxes and clarify owner vs. employee income. Scaling your business comes with "purgatories"—periods of losing money and chaos before the next stage of profitability; expect these, budget for them, and push through. Invest heavily in recruiting the right employees; the true cost is often underestimated, but employees are more valuable than clients, and spending money to find good ones is crucial. Underlying all growth: business ownership is about pride and doing hard things—money is a byproduct, but fulfillment comes from progress and resilience.   Connect with Dan Website: yourblueskies.com Podcast: Bookkeeping, Beer & BS | Podcast on Spotify   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resource Links Mentioned Blue Skies Bookkeeping & Recruiting: yourblueskies.com/kalfas Jobber: getjobber.com/kalfas Rebold Website AI: keithkalfas.com/rebolt CallRail Call Tracking: keithkalfas.com/callrail   Written and Edited by Ma.

Private markets are moving from the sidelines of institutional portfolios into the mainstream of wealth management. As companies stay private longer and financing increasingly happens outside public exchanges, investors are beginning to rethink how broad the traditional investment universe really is. The shift is raising a new question for portfolios: should investors be looking beyond public markets to access the full range of opportunities across capital markets?In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jon Diorio, Head of Product and Alternatives for BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Business, live from the Future Proof Citywide conference in Miami. Together they explore why interest in private markets has accelerated in recent years, how access for individual investors has expanded, and what's driving greater adoption among financial advisors.They also discuss how private markets differ from public markets — including liquidity considerations, longer investment horizons, and the potential role of what's often called an “illiquidity premium.” The conversation explores how private equity, private credit, infrastructure, and real estate investments may fit within diversified portfolios, why education and due diligence remain essential, and how the industry is evolving to integrate private assets more seamlessly into modern portfolio construction.Key insights from this episode:00:00 Introduction02:11 What are private markets and alternatives and Why Now?03:09 Why companies are staying private longer04:54 How access to private markets has expanded06:46 Are Private Markets for Everyone?08:33 Liquidity, time horizons, and the illiquidity premium11:33 How advisors integrate private markets into portfolios13:58 Challenges and due diligence in private markets15:21 Next Steps and Wrap Up16:59 Outro and DisclosuresSources: Bloomberg as at 12/31/2025, BlackRock US Wealth Survey Internal private markets investing, private equity, private credit, alternatives investing, portfolio diversification, capital markets, wealth management, investment strategiesThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gains understanding, for her profit is better than silver, and her gain surpasses gold.” - Proverbs 3:13–14 Making wise financial decisions early in life can set the stage for long-term stability, freedom, and generosity. But for students and young professionals just starting out, the question remains: Where do you begin? On today's episode, Bob Doll—CEO and Chief Investment Officer at Crossmark Global Investments—joined us to share practical, faith-rooted guidance to help young adults build a strong financial foundation from the very start. Start With a Plan Every wise financial journey begins with a plan. Bob emphasizes that a budget is the starting point—simply knowing what's coming in and what's going out. Without a plan, it's easy to drift financially. With one, you gain clarity and direction. From there, establish an emergency fund—typically three to six months of expenses—to prepare for life's unexpected turns. And just as importantly, avoid high-interest debt, especially credit card debt. Left unchecked, debt can quickly undo financial progress. Learn From Others—and Seek Guidance One of the fastest ways to grow in financial wisdom is to observe others. Look at those who are thriving financially—and those who are struggling. What patterns do you see? What choices led them there? Bob encourages young adults to seek out mentors and wise counsel. A trusted advisor or a financially mature believer can help you avoid common pitfalls such as overspending or neglecting savings. And don't underestimate the value of learning. Reading solid, biblically grounded resources can shape your thinking and help you develop lifelong habits of stewardship. Embrace a Biblical Perspective on Money At the heart of financial wisdom is a simple but transformative truth: It's not our money. Everything we have—our income, possessions, time, and abilities—belongs to God. We are stewards, entrusted to manage His resources faithfully. This perspective reshapes everything. It moves us from ownership to stewardship, from control to surrender, and from self-focus to God's purposes. Don't Miss the Opportunity to Be Generous One of the most powerful lessons Bob shared came from personal experience. Early in his career, he and his wife avoided overspending—but they realized later they had accumulated more than they needed, missing opportunities to give generously. His advice? Start giving early. As Acts 20:35 reminds us, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Generosity isn't something to postpone until you have “more.” It's a discipline that shapes your heart right now. God often uses generosity to transform us—deepening our trust, increasing our joy, and aligning our hearts with His. Harness the Power of Compounding When it comes to investing, time is your greatest asset. Even small, consistent contributions can grow significantly over time thanks to compound interest. Starting early allows your money more time to grow, making a dramatic difference over decades. Bob encourages young adults to: Begin investing as soon as possible Take advantage of employer-sponsored retirement plans—especially matching contributions Consider tools like a Roth IRA for long-term, tax-advantaged growth Consistency matters more than timing. Regular investing—even in small amounts—can lead to substantial results over time. Align Your Investments With Your Values Today, investors have more opportunities than ever to align their portfolios with their faith. That means considering not just financial returns, but also how companies operate and what they produce. As Bob points out, our investments should reflect the same values we aim to live out in every other area of life. Faith-based investing allows you to steward your resources in a way that honors God—not just in giving, but in growing what He's entrusted to you. Build Rhythms That Last Financial success isn't built on one-time decisions—it's shaped by consistent habits. Set goals. Track your progress. Celebrate milestones along the way. And remember, balance matters. God invites us to enjoy His provision while also preparing for the future. When progress feels slow, stay the course. Faithful stewardship over time leads to lasting fruit. Prioritize Unity in Marriage For those entering marriage or building a young family, communication around money is essential. Financial disagreements are one of the leading sources of conflict in relationships. That's why it's crucial to: Talk openly and regularly about finances Set shared goals Pray together for wisdom and unity When couples align their hearts and decisions before the Lord, they create a foundation of trust and purpose that strengthens both their finances and their relationship. Starting Strong Starting strong financially isn't about perfection—it's about direction. As you build your career and manage your resources, remember this: wisdom is more valuable than wealth. When you seek God's perspective on money and apply it faithfully, you're not just building financial stability—you're cultivating a life that reflects His purposes. And that's a foundation that will last far beyond your bank account.

The financial industry is supposed to be our economy's plumbing, quietly channeling capital to investments where it's needed most. But in today's system, that plumbing is leaking. From rising credit card rates and opaque lending products to the decline of local banking and the growth of speculative activity, the financial sector is increasingly disconnected from the real economy it was built to serve.Rohit Chopra, former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, joins Oren to examine how finance lost its purpose and what it would take to restore it. They discuss the limits of regulation versus enforcement, the rise of non-bank financial products, and the growing concentration of credit markets. They also consider whether novel activities like online sports betting and prediction represent genuine innovation or simply new ways to extract more money from consumers.

In this conversation, Patrick talks with Matt Beall, Chairman and CEO of Bealls Inc., one of America's oldest retail chains and one of the first national retailers to accept cryptocurrency at checkout. Matt is also a prominent figure in the Buttcoin community, a memecoin born from a 2011 internet joke that has grown into something far more serious than its name suggests. They dig into how crypto became a real payment option at Bealls, what memecoin culture actually looks like from the inside, and why FOMO may be the single most powerful force driving speculative markets today. They also talk about the rise of $FOMO, a new memecoin that has kept Patrick busy learning about memecoins himself. Matt also shares his perspective on Buttcoin's trajectory, what it takes for a memecoin community to build genuine staying power, and why real-world commitment matters in a space that most people still dismiss as chaos. This episode is essential listening for anyone curious about the intersection of retail, crypto, community-driven finance, and the psychology of missing out. Learn more about your ad choices.

A financial advisor with over 15 years of experience across major institutions such as Wells Fargo, Chase, and Bank of America. She discusses her evolution from a teenage bank teller to an independent financial planner at The Piedmont Group in Atlanta, where she provides holistic, comprehensive wealth management—especially for clients who traditionally lack access to financial literacy. Joe shares her personal journey, the gaps she observed in financial education—especially in working‑class families and communities of color—and why she aims to provide accessible, relationship‑based financial planning. She breaks down the fundamentals of long‑term wealth: insurance, asset allocation, retirement accounts, tax strategies, fraud prevention, and planning for individuals and business owners. The discussion highlights the importance of financial confidence, the significance of meeting people where they are, and the need to increase participation of Black and Brown individuals in wealth‑building spaces.
