What if the key to financial abundance isn't found in hustling harder but in awakening to your true self? Dr. Baffour Jan of the Jan Cosmic Foundation unveils profound spiritual truths that challenge conventional wisdom about success and prosperity."Those who succeed very well, they have something within them," explains Dr. Jan as he reveals how our spiritual nature functions as supreme magnetism. This magnetism doesn't require chasing opportunities—it naturally draws them to you. The problem? Most of us operate exclusively from the left side of our brain, which entangles us in worldly concerns and false identities, while neglecting the right hemisphere that connects to spirit frequency.Dr. Jan demystifies the law of attraction, explaining that it works hand-in-hand with universal principles of credit and debit. Financial abundance flows when we align our actions with the truth that we are not separate from others. "The other is yourself," he emphasizes, revealing how competition and selfishness create resistance to our natural state of abundance.The conversation offers practical guidance for listeners seeking transformation. Dr. Jan shares a powerful morning ritual that activates spiritual consciousness before engaging with worldly concerns: silence your thoughts, become aware of your breath until you reach a state of pure awareness. This simple practice unlocks intuitive guidance that helps navigate daily challenges from a place of empowerment rather than struggle.Perhaps most revolutionary is Dr. Jan's perspective on identity. Our false identities limit what we believe is possible, while awakening to our expanded spiritual presence removes these artificial boundaries. "Based on your identity, what you are capable of doing is limited to how you identify yourself," he explains, inviting listeners to question the programming that has shaped their self-concept.Ready to experience a complete mindset transformation? Join us on August 29th at the British Council for an event focused on charting the path to financial freedom. This is your opportunity to deepen your understanding of the principles shared in this episode and apply them to your personal journey of abundance.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.”With those words, Warren Buffett reminded us that character and integrity matter—especially in the world of money. Now, after more than sixty years of market-shaping moves and famous one-liners, Buffett is calling it a career. Today, Matt Bell joins us to reflect on his legacy and share what timeless lessons every investor can learn from it.Matt Bell is the Managing Editor at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Track Record That's Hard to IgnoreIf you had invested $100 in Berkshire Hathaway back in 1965, that single investment would have grown to over $5.5 million by the end of last year. Compare that with the S&P 500 over the same period, which would have turned $100 into just $39,000. Clearly, Buffett did something different.One unconventional move? He never issued dividends for Berkshire Hathaway, instead reinvesting profits to increase share value. That patient, long-view approach paid off—and it hints at biblical principles like delayed gratification and wise stewardship (Proverbs 21:20).Buffett famously said, “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” While Christians would rightly reject greed and fear as motivations, the deeper principle here is about remaining steady and disciplined in volatile times—echoing Proverbs 14:15: “The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.”Buffett often waited with cash on hand until the right opportunities appeared, especially during downturns. That patience and discernment mirrors biblical instruction to avoid impulsiveness and instead seek wisdom in decision-making.Investing Lessons With Biblical ParallelsOver the years, Buffett offered dozens of pithy insights that mirror biblical truth. Here are a few standouts:“If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die.”—This speaks to the wisdom of putting money to productive use—earning a return through thoughtful investing, a principle echoed in the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25). “Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.”—In Proverbs 15:22, we're reminded that “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Financial ignorance creates risk, but biblical stewardship calls for wisdom and learning. Diversification, emotional control, and long-term vision—Buffett emphasized all three. These align with a measured, prudent approach to money that Scripture continually encourages.Buffett never let global turmoil shake his confidence in long-term investing. He wrote, “In the 20th century, the U.S. endured world wars, recessions, a depression, oil shocks, and more—yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.” His takeaway: “It's been a terrible mistake to bet against America.”While our hope as Christians isn't rooted in any one nation's economy, Buffett's long view reminds us of the value of endurance and not making decisions based on fear or short-term noise (see James 1:5–6).Generosity and LegacyPerhaps most inspiring is Buffett's commitment to give away 99% of his wealth. He plans to direct his Berkshire Hathaway shares toward philanthropic causes within ten years of his estate being settled. While we may differ on where those funds go, the posture of open-handed generosity reflects Jesus' teaching: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).Buffett's success wasn't just about intellect—it was about character: discipline, patience, and generosity. These are values every believer is called to cultivate. As you manage your resources, consider how biblical principles—often echoed in even the most unlikely places—can shape a wise, faithful financial life.To explore these ideas further, read Matt Bell's full article, The Wisdom of Warren Buffett at SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've never had a credit card before, but I recently received a pre-qualified offer from Capital One. They mentioned they've reviewed my credit and noticed I'm keeping up with my bills. Should I consider applying for this card, and how can I verify that the offer is legitimate?As a grandmother, I'm concerned that my grandchildren aren't learning essential financial skills from their parents. I'd love to step in and help, especially with my 20-year-old grandchild. What is the best way to encourage them to save money and manage their finances wisely?Over the past couple of years, God has really blessed me with increased income, and I'm incredibly grateful. I live simply, help my parents, and avoid lifestyle inflation—but I want to make sure I'm handling this increase in a way that honors God. How can I manage this money with biblical stewardship in mind?I'm in a strong financial position—no debt, and I tithe faithfully. I just received $15,000 from selling off some business assets and want to invest it wisely. I'd like it to earn a good return, but I also want it to remain accessible if needed.

Send us a textDr. Bobby unpacks the surge of health hype—from red light therapy to NAD⁺ boosters—and empowers listeners to stay curious yet skeptical using science-backed tools and critical thinking.Are claims like “boost your mitochondria” or “natural detox” real breakthroughs—or today's version of snake oil? Dr. Bobby explores why health hype is everywhere, why we're vulnerable to it, and how to sift compelling theories from proven treatments. He outlines examples of widely accepted beliefs that ultimately didn't hold up to rigorous scrutiny. Inserting stents to open clogged arteries seemed sensible, but studies like the COURAGE and ORBITA trials found no added benefit over medical management (NEJM). Dr. Bobby then turns to newer fads. Claims around NAD⁺ boosters (like NMN or NR), red light therapy, PRP for knee pain, and hydrogen water often rely on plausible-sounding mechanisms or mouse studies—but currently lack human RCTs to back them up. While these ideas may sound promising, human trials are either missing or preliminary.Why does this hype persist? Financial incentives are everywhere: the U.S. spends over $5 trillion annually on health, and the supplement market alone is worth $150 billion. Influencers, professionals, and even well-meaning providers may promote approaches they financially benefit from. As patients, we're often eager for solutions to symptoms like fatigue or anxiety—especially when conventional medicine doesn't have a satisfying answer. This opens the door for pseudoscience, placebo effects, and the viral spread of misinformation.To navigate this environment, Dr. Bobby outlines seven action steps. First, demand human evidence: ask if a treatment has been tested in RCTs, replicated, and proven in diverse populations. He recommends Examine.com for non-biased supplement research and revisiting his episode on evaluating health headlines (#22). Second, follow the money—financial conflicts should raise your skepticism. Third, be alert to hypey language like “miracle cure” or “doctor secrets”—phrases designed to manipulate, not inform. Fourth, understand the placebo effect, especially with vague symptoms. Fifth, ask  questions: “Compared to what?” “In whom?” “For how long?” “With what risks?” These shift the focus from excitement to real evaluation. Sixth, adopt what Dr. Bobby calls the mindset of a curious skeptic—open to ideas, but insistent on evidence. Finally, he urges listeners to consult evidence-literate doctors who will explore with you, both mainstream and emerging treatments with a critical eye—see episode #20 for more on choosing the right provider.Takeaways: Ask, “Has this been tested in people?” before jumping on a health trend. Beware buzzwords and financial conflicts—science, not sales, should guide your decisions. Embrace curiosity, but anchor it in real-world evidence to truly live long and well.

It creeps into your family life, and it like, it even creeps into that gym membership that you promised that you'd start using next week. So as entrepreneurs, we know that we need to master our business. We know we need to be at the top of our game, and yet we've created a state of chaos in our business.Helle Brodie [00:02:40]:And after a while, it starts to starts to wear on, our our self belief, you know, and and and we we quietly start to doubt whether we can really do this, whether we're really cut out for this. Right? And so, you know, when that self doubt creeps in, we, we start to lose our confidence, We start to lose our clarity, our energy, our drive, and our creativity. And so I'm here to help people get all of that back.Stuart Webb [00:03:18]:Terrific. I'm I'm sure that you find there are, people who try to do things to help themselves in these situations. I know I come across people. I'm a I'm a big fan like yourself who sort of try and help people find ways in which to make their business something which runs on autopilot. And I know they've tried a hundred different things. They've tried the courses. They've tried the books. They've tried, a thousand and one things.Stuart Webb [00:03:41]:What what are you seeing that people, have tried before they sort of find somebody like you to help them to to produce that sort of that sort of, unblocking, in their in their business?Helle Brodie [00:03:53]:That's a great great question, Stuart. So typically what I find is that they go back to what feels safe. You know, they've looked at the courses, they've looked at, read books, they've, you know, gathered all kinds of knowledge. And so they go back to what feels safe because quite often they're feeling like they're sort of on the edge. Right? And so, you know, what feels safe? Well, working longer and harder feels safe.Stuart Webb [00:04:19]:Yeah.Helle Brodie [00:04:20]:Yeah. You know, chasing every opportunity out there feels safe, because this is what's got them to where they are now.Stuart Webb [00:04:28]:Yeah.Helle Brodie [00:04:28]:The challenge is that what's got them to where they are now isn't necessarilyStuart Webb [00:04:33]:It's taken to where they are.Helle Brodie [00:04:34]:To the next level.Stuart Webb [00:04:36]:Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.Helle Brodie [00:04:38]:Yeah.Stuart Webb [00:04:38]:Now I think I think you've got a really valuable free offer that you are gonna give to the and I'm just gonna let everybody know, know that, we're gonna put this in our vault. So you don't have to remember this. This will be in the vault, so you'll see it. But Helen's got a really valuable offer to help people with this. So, Helen, can you tell us about the the really interesting offer that you've got that you're gonna help with today?Helle Brodie [00:05:02]:Yeah. It's called the Entrepreneurs Freedom Formula. Wonderful. What it is, it is it, outlines 10 areas of your business that, I can say you should, you could look at. It would be advisable to look at to create freedom in your business. Time freedom, financial freedom, and the free the internal freedom to really savor your life. Because we know that working longer and harder and chasing absolutely every opportunity isn't necessarily what works. You know? And Mhmm.Helle Brodie [00:05:35]:You know, one of the things that that I can't give you the the 10 steps to is one of the keys is really aligning your conscious and your unconscious mind. Now I I can't I can't offer that as a free resource difficult thing to do on your own. Right? And that's one of the keys to how I'm able to help people, really get to the next level in their business, create that freedom, and, and move forward. Live life with new dreams.Stuart Webb [00:06:08]:So these so the 10 steps that you're you're hearing here, this is this is the outline that people can start to understand. But but, really, that's that's not the end of the journey, is it? What we're talking about here is something which you've gotta partly self discovery, but also that's something that you've got to sort of understand exactly how to apply these things. I often think that that's one of the failures that we have as as entrepreneurs. We see a formula, we see a set of steps, and we go, well, I'll just implement those as they as they are, and they'll just work. And that's not the whole story, is that?Helle Brodie [00:06:36]:Right. Right. Because because, I mean, the so when I talk about the the, unconscious blocks that that that are holding you back from your progress, You know? I mean, so we've heard all all heard about mindset. You have to have a success mindset and a growth mindset, and that's all very true. This goes one level deeper than that because our in our conscious mind, we we set our goals. Our unconscious mind is the part of our mind that acts actually helps us achieve our goals. Mhmm. And until we have those two things aligned, it's gonna be really hard to achieve your goals and do everything that you wanna do without working longer and harder and pushing and struggling.Helle Brodie [00:07:19]:So so it creates ease and flow in your business. Now you still have to have a work ethic because growth and change don't happen on their own.Stuart Webb [00:07:29]:You know what I mean?Helle Brodie [00:07:29]:I'm sure you've heard a lot of people talk about, oh, it's just so easy. You know? You just think it and think positive thoughts, and all the good things in the world will will come to you. Well, that doesn't necessarily happen. And when we I'm I'm trying to be kind. So when we align our with our unconscious minds, then it becomes a lot easier because we're not we're not self sabotaging us ourselves. We're not keeping ourselves from achieving the goals that we really want. I mean, this is what we really want.Stuart Webb [00:08:06]:So Yeah. I I I absolutely know what you mean, and I think it's something we too often, we we too often, we sort of look around and go, oh, there's there must be I'm just looking for the magic formula. And, you know, I was talking to somebody about AI, and they went and, and we were discussing sort of, you know, AI in the business and and how to automate something, and they went and and is that when the magic happens? And I went, no. There's no magic. I'm sorry. There is no magic. There is there is hard work and, you know, there was there is this sort of, you know somehow there was this belief that somehow I I I just push that button. Everything just happens, doesn't it? It just all becomes nice and funky, and that's just not the way the the world works, does it? Right.Helle Brodie [00:08:45]:Yeah. There's no I call it the easy button. There's no easy button. Right? You know, big red button where you just push it and everything happens beautifully and miraculously. You know, wouldn't wouldn't that be nice? And if if there was, everybody would be doing it, and we'd be looking for something else, wouldn't we?Stuart Webb [00:09:03]:Terrific. That's a great message, and that's a great way to great way to segue into my next my next question to you. There must have been something, a a book, and we talked a little bit about it at the beginning when I gave the introduction about sort of your journey from from vastly different, industries. Can you was there a was there a was there a point in your life, a book, or a program or something which brought you to this understanding? How did you get to where you are now?Helle Brodie [00:09:28]:Right. Well, I mean, it it wasn't a book like, I do have a favorite book, or a book that that's been very significant in terms of my beliefs and my growth.Stuart Webb [00:09:39]:Please tell us.Helle Brodie [00:09:40]:And and I'll you know, give me a second. So that my process to get from from one industry to to another was that I real recognized that, my clients in in the other industry were not always making, what I would say, rational decisions.Stuart Webb [00:10:00]:Mhmm.Helle Brodie [00:10:00]:They were making decisions out of out of fear and scarcity. And and I had great solutions to offer them, and they agreed until it came to down to the bottom line. And so until well, and I'm sure you've come across those people as well. And so as I dove into that, I came to understand that that they were living in stress, overwhelm, fear, anxiety. They may not have shown it on the outside, and that's where their decisions were coming from. So in my other business, my goal was to create a better world, you know, and that was more that was primarily environmentally. And I realized that if I wanted to, create a better world through that industry, the best thing I could do will help the people in that in so that's it's kind of a roundabout way for how I got to where I am. And and, you know, I promised you that I would I would tell you about a book that's been particularly significant for me.Helle Brodie [00:11:11]:It's called, Unstoppable Self Confidence by Andrew, by Andrew, Leadham. And so the the most valuable lesson in that, or the most valuable lesson that I've taken from that is wrong with you. As an entrepreneur, when we don't succeed, when something goes wrong, you know, you start thinking, what's wrong with me? Why can't I do this? Why can't I figure it out? Valuable resource that says, really, there's nothing wrong with you. And what he does is he helps us to, think the way the 1% do. The 1% who all who who achieve their goals, who have success, who live life on their terms. And it all comes down to there's nothing wrong with you. And so it's a beautiful resource that that, I mean, it's a it's a great book. It's it's fascinating, and it certainly opened my eyes in in many areas.Stuart Webb [00:12:14]:Well, it's not one I've come across. I'm glad you've introduced it to me. I should be checking it out because that is a hugely valuable step forward for all of us. But let me get to the right to the to the question I've got for you here, which is I'm sure you've been thinking for all this time where you you've been talking away and thinking, well, the the question he question he should be asking me is is so critical. Why when is he gonna get to that one? Well, I'm gonna give you the opportunity of telling me what the question is. And then, obviously, when you've posed the question, well, you're gonna have to answer because I really don't know what the question is. So, therefore, Helen, what's the question I should have asked you in these last few minutes you really think I should have asked?Helle Brodie [00:12:52]:So the question is why do I think it's so important for entrepreneurs to thrive? Because I work with entrepreneurs, So why is it so important for entrepreneurs to thrive? And so I I truly believe that entrepreneurs hold the key to our future. They're a huge part of our economy. They're the movers and shakers of the world. Right? They're nimble. They're resourceful. They're creative. You know? And and and they're great adjusting. They're resilient.Helle Brodie [00:13:28]:They're adjusting to what you've called the the new normal. Right? Big corporations can't adjust. They're they're not as nimble. They're not as creative. They're not they're not as passionate. Right?Stuart Webb [00:13:42]:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.Helle Brodie [00:13:43]:And so I believe that when entrepreneurs thrive, they they create a better world.Stuart Webb [00:13:50]:Wow. What a what a So that'sHelle Brodie [00:13:53]:why I wanna work with entrepreneurs.Stuart Webb [00:13:56]:Hello. That is just such a fantastic just such a fantastic I'm gonna say no more because I think you have ended that, and given us something to think about, during the rest of today and tomorrow. If you're an entrepreneur, you hold the key to the future. So I wanna reach out to you and say, you probably need to go on to, within twenty four hours, we will have Heller's resource at this link, and I would get onto it. I would start looking at those 10 steps immediately because I think you, need the, need to be able to get in and tap into some of this wisdom.

You know that you get an email from me just once a week that actually tells you about who's coming up on this podcast recording each week.Stuart Webb [00:14:56]:And you have the opportunity to get on, listen to it live, and if necessary, dive in and ask questions of great experts such as Heller and, really understand how to make your business move that one step forward that you need to make it move each day.

Today's guest, financial professional and author of The Future Poor, Jonathan Grimm, believes the post-1945 version of retirement planning (stockpiling as much cash as possible for 40 years and praying you can leave paid work) isn't going to work for much longer. But as a financial “ethicist,” Grimm's unique approach centers the social determinants of health and begins from the belief that we should figure out what's best for people—and work backward from there.

You're growing your business, but is your marriage growing with it?In this special conversation, Sarah and I sat down with Christa Hardin—licensed therapist, Enneagram expert, and host of The Enneagram + Marriage Podcast—to share the behind-the-scenes story of how we almost separated just months after launching Triad. We talk about how the Enneagram, therapy, and a Sunday morning ritual helped us rebuild our relationship from the ground up.We open up about our journey from high school sweethearts to partners raising a family and scaling a fast-growing company—while navigating the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship and marriage.We get real about what it took to go from tension and resentment to connection and respect, and how we now support each other emotionally, practically, and professionally.If you want to build a business and a home life that both thrive, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad and Sarah…#1.) Therapy Isn't a Sign of Struggle, It's a Sign of StrengthWhat started as a tough talk in Napa turned into weekly therapy that helped Brad and Sarah reconnect—and gave their kids a model of what healthy relationships look like. Therapy isn't a weakness. It's what showing up really looks like. #2.) Hire an EA Who Manages Life, Not Just BusinessMost entrepreneurs use their EA for scheduling. Brad uses his to protect his marriage. By looping Sarah into calendar decisions, they built a system that prevents business from overrunning family and stops resentment before it starts.#3.) How Enneagram Helped Them Understand (Not Fix) Each OtherBrad's a 7 (The Enthusiast). Sarah's a 6 (The Loyalist). The Enneagram helped them move from conflict to collaboration, turning their differences into a strategic advantage, at home and in business.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/125FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'” - Hebrews 13:5Sports betting is more popular—and more accepted—than ever, even among Christians. But is it just harmless fun, or something more? Dr. David W. Jones returns to our financial ethics series to help us examine what Scripture says about gambling and how believers should approach it.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the author of Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians.What Does Scripture Say About Gambling?Proverbs 13:11 reminds us that:“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”Gambling, which includes sports betting, bypasses God's designed rhythm of work and reward. 1 Timothy 6:9 warns that the desire to get rich quickly leads people into “ruin and destruction.” These verses challenge the notion that a fast win is simply a blessing—it may erode character.Is it always wrong to bet on a game with friends? Not necessarily. A one-time bracket pool during March Madness may not signal a deep moral compromise. But we must ask: Is this behavior occasional and harmless, or has it become habitual and idolatrous?The difference lies in the heart. It's not that gambling created the idolatry of money or sports—it revealed it. And perhaps in God's grace, it's giving us an opportunity to examine what we truly worship.The Stewardship QuestionEvery financial decision we make is a stewardship decision. Psalm 24:1 reminds us:“The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.”So before we spend God's money—even on entertainment—we must ask: Is this wise? Does this reflect my faith? Does it honor the Lord?We must start to think through whether our spending on gambling—even recreationally—glorifies God. That doesn't mean all entertainment is wrong. But we are called to be faithful managers of what belongs to God, and some forms of entertainment carry higher risks than others.Beyond personal stewardship, Christians must consider what they're supporting. The gambling industry is responsible for significant harm. Studies show that 1 in 5 gambling addicts attempt suicide, and addiction is rising fastest among young adults, according to the American Psychological Association.For those in the church, we must acknowledge this cultural shift and lovingly walk alongside people through it, offering them truth, grace, and accountability.Idolatry, Discontentment, and the Way BackSports betting may be legal, but legality is not the same as morality, and morality isn't always wisdom. If your habits reflect discontentment or a misplaced trust in money, that's a red flag.But there's hope. These things are not the unpardonable sin. 1 John 1:9 reminds us: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us... God is always ready to receive us.”Isaiah 26:3 also says:“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”If you're struggling with a gambling habit or questioning your motivations, seek accountability at your local church. And if addiction is involved, please pursue professional help. Freedom is possible—and peace is found not in the thrill of a win, but in keeping your eyes on Christ.Remember: just because it's permissible doesn't mean it's wise. True freedom is found not in betting on uncertain outcomes, but in trusting the God who holds the future.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to understand where tax-free municipal bonds might fit into my overall investment strategy. How can they be used effectively for tax efficiency and generating income, and when would it make sense to include them in a portfolio?I have $19,000 sitting in an old 401(k) account, and I'm considering transferring it into a fixed annuity. I'm not retired yet and plan to return to work in the school system. One option offers lifetime income starting at age 74, but I'm not sure if that's the best use of my funds. What should I consider before making this decision?I'm in the process of updating my will now that I've moved to Texas. I'm wondering if it would be more in line with God's will to allocate a percentage of my estate to the three nonprofit ministries I support, rather than dividing everything evenly among my three children. How should I think through this decision from a biblical perspective?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians by Dr. David W.

The credit industry is shifting how it evaluates borrowers. Traditional credit scoring has left over a billion people without access to financial services, but lenders are increasingly turning to alternative data—bank transactions, spending patterns, real-time financial behavior—to make more informed decisions about creditworthiness. Andrew Endicott has been at the center of this shift. As co-founder of Petal, he pioneered what they called “cash flow underwriting”—using real-time bank data alongside traditional credit reports to approve people for credit cards who would otherwise be turned away. The approach worked: Petal raised nearly $1 billion, proving that alternative underwriting isn't just better for consumers—it's good business.

With nearly 20 years of experience in small business acquisitions, Elliot has seen it all—and then some. From hidden red flags in financials to smoke-and-mirrors marketing metrics on Amazon and SEO-driven sites, he shares exactly where buyers get it wrong—and how those mistakes can cost you hundreds of thousands, or worse, your entire investment. This episode will pull back the curtain on how unsuspecting buyers get swindled into buying dud deals, all because they skipped real due diligence. Highlight the critical considerations buyers often miss in the acquisition process: ✔️ The most common (and costly) mistakes buyers make in due diligence✔️ Why relationships with sellers matter—and how they can go sideways fast✔️ How sellers can mislead or manipulate the narrative to close a deal✔️ Financial vs. marketing due diligence—what most acquirers overlook✔️ The frameworks Elliot uses to assess businesses like an expert This is not just theory—Elliot has personally helped countless clients dodge bad deals and secure multi-million-dollar wins, all by demystifying the due diligence process.

Don’t even think about buying a business until you listen to this conversation. Episode Highlights 04:15 – Red flags usually show as many small issues rather than one big problem 10:30 – Verifying seller’s time commitment by reviewing task lists and holding strategy meetings 18:45 – Wanting shortcuts in due diligence can lead to costly mistakes 23:00 – Sellers often resist reasonable buyer requests like strong non-competes and management interviews 26:10 – Negotiation is a strategic dance where sellers test buyer strength 29:15 – Cheaper advisors often bring higher risks and lower value on seven-figure deals Key Takeaways ➥ Red flags are subtle and require a sharp, skeptical mindset to detect ➥ Sellers use stories and distractions instead of admitting flaws outright ➥ Due diligence takes time and can be uncomfortable but shortcuts are costly ➥ Experienced advisors are critical for high-value deals to avoid disaster ➥ Buyers need to be ready to walk away if sellers are not transparent or cooperative ➥ Emotional detachment helps buyers make better decisions and negotiate smarter About Elliot Holland Elliott Holland is a Harvard Business School alum, former business acquirer & OG in small business acquisitions.
