Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:44  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? We made it to the end of June. Holy freaking moly. Halfway through the year. We did it. You did it. Have you out of all the Fridays halfway through the year, have you celebrated wins on each Friday? Maybe you celebrate them all week long. Maybe you celebrate them every single day. I don't know. I want to know. Send your wins in. Send how you, how you celebrate that. Send how you reflect, reflect, reflect, correct and continue. Because we would love to share those out on these episodes to help other be it till you see it. Listeners rock what they got. You know, like, we're in this together, right? A couple episodes of FYFs ago, like, talked about, like, how, when you stand up for yourself, it's Maya Angelou, is like, without knowing that you are actually standing up for all women, right? And I think that's really cool. Think it's really cool. So on these episodes, I share something that inspired me, something that's a win from you, a win of mine, and then a mantra. Lesley Logan 1:32  So on Instagram, I saw this, Flau'jae Johnson is eliminating 5 million of dollars of debt for Louisiana families, that's right, you guys, the LSU basketball star and business major is teaming up with Experian to erase $5 million in medical debt for 5000 families in Louisiana, while also championing financial education. Women are at the heart of the global economy making the majority of a household purchases, purchasing decisions. Yet only 30% of women worldwide are considered financially literate. The gap isn't just about money, it's about power, independence and opportunity. You know what's bigger than basketball? Financial empowerment, Johnson says, and she's leading by example. Flau'jae, you're fucking a badass. So y'all can follow her. She's got 2 million followers. She's amazing. She's kicking ass in basketball. And, like, I just love that she's able to use, use this to do change. You know, I just think, wow, it's amazing. Can you imagine being in those families, maybe we shouldn't have to have those families. They shouldn't have to have this medical debt. But like, I love that she's doing this, and I love that she teamed up with companies who can make this happen, so that that not only are they out of that debt, but then women are learning how to be financially literate from a young age. I'm just obsessed. So thank you for inspiring me, babe, that is what I needed this week. Lesley Logan 2:44  All right, let's get to a win of yours. All right. This one is from Sonia Ahmed. Had my first professional branding shoot. Photo shoot yesterday, got pics with my clients in my studio, some of me in the studio, and then some of me out and about on my laptop for my consulting work. I'm so excited. It's so nice to have photos like, it is a win when you're like, okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna plan this. I'm gonna do this thing. Because, like, it's just we need them. We need them. I, like, how, I hate prepping for a photo shoot, and I'm so glad when I do, because, like, oh my God, then you have the things to show off, the thing that you want to do. You know, we need those things. People need visuals of like, the badass that you are. So way to go, Sonia, way to also bring people in along on that journey. Lesley Logan 3:25  And then Ainsley Walker wrote, this week's mat practice went great. I caught up with Jen L., Jen M. and Kim. We moved, explored, had fun and geeked out all those. Kim's detail for thinking blew my mind and raised questions that really got me thinking. Thank you. I learned from all of them. I booked in with Gen M to get my nutrition looked at. I'm going. I'm excited and so happy that this is happening. I thought about it for ages, and here she appeared. Head colds suck, but the second one, I've decided to take the day off knowing that I don't have clients coming to my home for three days. Feels like a good break. And I'm still doing mat classes tomorrow, but it takes the pressure off for rest. I'm so happy to be in this group and excited for the next weekend. You know, I actually really love all these wins. Ainsley has like several different ones in there, like different categories. And I love that you're first of all celebrating all of them, like all these different things. But it is a win when we go, you know what, I, I can do this much, but I can't do that much with this head cold. So I'm going to do this much, and I'm gonna take a break off of that much. I love that you found someone you trust to actually do the thing you've been wanting to do with that nutrition plan. I love that you find time to work out with other women, and then you are inspired by the way that they think where that's the cool thing about community. We're all not going to have the same strengths, so we can utilize other people's strengths where we might not see things and then see things from a different perspective. That's the point of this episode, right? You, you guys all sharing your wins allows people to see what are wins in their life. And like, we can like, learn different things. So I just thank you all so much for sending them in. These, really, were wonderful and lovely, and I love reliving them with you. Lesley Logan 5:04  So my loves, my win. Let's get into it. Okay, so I actually have two wins for you, because I didn't celebrate one with you back at the beginning of June, and I want to celebrate it. And then I have another win that, like I hope, is like practical. So big win-wise, the team and I planned a year in advance spring training. We do this annual way for people to experience OPC, and we're constantly trying to find what's a different way. Tell people trust that if they sign up for an online platform, they will actually use it, and that it can get them the results that they want. When all the marketing is telling them they should do Reformer Pilates and they're not realizing that they can do mat work at home and have great results, and yet, maybe they still go do Reformer Pilates, but then, if they only can go once a week, they're actually gonna get the results that they're trying to get from the Reformer right? So every year we try to do this, and I'm not gonna lie, like we had this brilliant idea, we, like, went to bat for it. In January, had a big call about how the marketing plan was gonna go, all these things, and in it actually wasn't really working the way we wanted. And one of the wins is that we actually took the time to do a massive pivot, which is not easy to do, because it means a lot of people having to work again on something, but like, if something's not working, change it right? So we did that, and we had it made us, forced us to, like, reflect, like, what? How do we help people understand that this week of Pilates is actually exactly what they've been asking for, right? Because you have to make sure that it's understandable in their words. And we had the best time. It was so fun. We had so many people sign up. OPC members got to sign up for free. They showed up in the hundreds. We had tons of people from all over the world joining us live for these classes, and we had these Q&A's. And that was also a really amazing time. And that was just great and grand. And we wrapped it up on Pilates Day. And I don't always do something on Pilates Day because, to be honest, like, we provide so much free Pilates content all the time. I don't usually have the have it in me to do something on that day, but we actually got to have a really massive Pilates Day with our OPC members, with these spring training people and just celebrate, like, how amazing Pilates is when a bunch of people join the OPC membership after it and like, whether or not, like, we hit our number goals doesn't really matter, because the win is in that as a team, we acted as a team that could, you know, when we look back at like, what we did, like, we made changes where we needed to to make things happen. And so I don't have the numbers in front of me to share them with you, but like, I'm so proud of our team, I'm so proud of what we did. I'm so proud of the teachers. I'm so proud of the people who signed themselves up for something. It's not easy to do that, and so that's awesome win. The other win, a little more practical, a little smaller, is that, you know, it gets hot in Vegas. It sneaks up on you. It's really only, like, not tolerable, you know, like 90 days of the year. The rest of the time, it's either just nice and warm or it's perfect. So at any rate, we're usually caught off a little, on off guard, and we're traveling and we're busy, and we like, oh, I gotta put that on. We set our EVAC cooler up in the beginning of April, and so even though it's freaking hot on most days when it's under 106 degrees, we can run this EVAC cooler, so we're not paying a fuckton in energy bills. And the house is actually cooler, and it's really awesome, and I'm super obsessed with it. So I'm just so proud of Brad and I after it's our fifth summer in this town, and we, like, nailed it. We worked ahead, we thought about it, and we are not dying at night. And also, I don't know if you remember a win that we had back in the beginning of the year, we got I told Brad, I was like, I cannot do another summer hot. Like, I'm not even having hot flashes, but I'm like, freaking too hot at night, and it's not gonna get better. Like, we all know what's coming. So like, how can we prepare for this? And he got this bed jet thing, and I can actually have cool air on me in the bed. So, like, you still have to have the air on it won't it's not an air conditioner. It's pulling from the air that's outside, but it's actually making it so, like, I'm, like, the perfect temperature as I sleep. I'm getting the best sleep because of it. So you guys, if summer suck for you, like, first of all, make changes to your life so that you can, it can be better. So you get your sleep that you need, and you can stay hydrated, but also mark your calendar for months in advance of the heat where you are, so you can make the changes you need to make before it sneaks up on you. And then it's like, oh my God. Then you're in it, and you're tired. When you're hot and tired, you're bitchy, and it's just not fun. It's not fun. So anyways, those are our big wins. June was, oh my God, the year has been so great. There's a lot going on that's not great, but there's also stuff that's going on that's great. That's why this episode exists. Lesley Logan 9:29  All right, your mantra, I'm capable of balancing ease and effort in my life. I am capable of balancing ease and effort in my life.

“Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and the power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.”  - Ecclesiastes 5:19What if true joy doesn't come from gaining more, but from gratefully receiving what God has already provided? Today, John Cortines joins us to explore what he calls the Cycle of Grateful Living—and how it transforms our approach to money and contentment.John Cortines is the Director of Grantmaking at The Maclellan Foundation. He is the author of our new study on the book of Ecclesiastes, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, as well as the co-author of God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School and True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart.The Heart of Ecclesiastes: Joy as a GiftEcclesiastes 5:18–20 forms the foundation of our new Wisdom Over Wealth study:“It is good and fitting to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil... this is God's gift to man... God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.” - Ecclesiastes 5:18–20These verses, nestled within the longest section on money in the book, offer a radical invitation: rather than striving for more, we're called to enjoy what we've already received. Even the ability to enjoy life's blessings is a divine gift.Introducing the Cycle of Grateful Living: E.A.T.To help us live out this vision, here's a simple acronym from Ecclesiastes 5:19: E.A.T.—Enjoy, Accept, Toil.Enjoy God's ProvisionEverything we have—our wealth, relationships, health, and even the capacity to enjoy them—is a gift from God. Acknowledging this turns entitlement into gratitude and replaces striving with trust. Accept Life's BrevityEcclesiastes frequently reflects on death, not to breed fear, but to awaken us to the preciousness of life. Acceptance of our limits and mortality grants deeper purpose and contentment in the present moment. Toil with JoyWork is not something to escape from. Ecclesiastes calls us to rejoice in our toil. True fulfillment isn't found in early retirement or unending leisure, but in the meaningful work God places before us.What Gets in the Way?Gratitude can often feel elusive in the routines of everyday life. Often, we slip into discontent when we:Take God's provision for grantedIgnore life's brevity and live mindlesslyComplain about work instead of finding purpose in itThe world's promises—especially those of financial independence or early retirement (FIRE)—can become mirages. We've probably all been there, dreaming that if we work hard and save enough, we will someday be free. But that vision of life can be so hollow because the human condition is to be oriented to purpose, to work. Even if you're retired, it's not so you can sit on a beach for 20 years.We were made to participate in God's creative, redemptive work. That's why embracing our toil with joy brings far more satisfaction than escaping it.Wealth Without Joy: A Modern ParadoxWhile many of us live more comfortably than royalty of past centuries—with cars, clean water, air conditioning, and vacations—anxiety and discontent remain widespread.Billionaires are often no happier than the rest of us. Without a grateful heart, even abundance can feel empty.The Cycle of Grateful Living isn't just about how much we have—it's about how we relate to what we have. It teaches us to stop chasing wealth and start engaging with it through the lens of joy, acceptance, and purpose.From Ecclesiastes to Jesus: A Unified MessageJesus echoes the wisdom of Ecclesiastes in Luke 12. He reminds us of the birds and flowers—simple creatures that don't worry, yet are lovingly provided for by God.“Consider the lilies, how they grow... If God so clothes the grass... how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!” - Luke 12:27–28James 1:10–11 also makes a similar connection where riches are likened to wildflowers—beautiful for a moment, but quickly fading. The message is clear: our time is brief, but God is faithful.So, how should we respond? By living present to God's provision, content in our limitations, and faithful in our work.Ecclesiastes 5:20 offers a powerful conclusion:“He will not much remember the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.”What does this look like practically? It's about presence. A life that's not dominated by worry or comparison, but one that's centered on Jesus. It's a heart too full of gratitude to be caught up in regret.Invite Jesus Christ into this moment. Ask for help to enjoy what He's provided, to accept this season, and to do today's work with joy.Every generation has had its turn. Ours is now. The call of Ecclesiastes is to live wisely in the present, not with frantic striving, but with deep joy, humble acceptance, and faithful effort.We're like the birds and flowers. Here for a precious moment, sustained by the generous hand of God. Let's embrace the Cycle of Grateful Living.Want to Go Deeper?If you're ready to experience joy in the everyday and live a grateful life rooted in God's wisdom, check out Wisdom Over Wealth, written by John Cortines. This month, when you give a gift of $35 or more, we'll send you a copy as our way of saying thank you for supporting this ministry.

This Podcast Is Episode 634, And It's About Financial Red Flags Your Construction Company Can't Afford To Ignore As a construction bookkeeper, I've had a unique vantage point, watching countless projects unfold from the first bid to the final payment. While the hammers and blueprints are the visible signs of progress, it's the numbers behind the scenes that truly tell the story of a company's health. And let me tell you, those numbers often whisper warnings before they start screaming.   Small business owners in the construction industry are incredibly busy. You're juggling bids, managing crews, dealing with permits, and ensuring client satisfaction. It's easy for subtle financial warning signs – what I call "red flags" – to get overlooked until they become critical problems. However, ignoring these signals can lead to severe cash flow issues, stalled growth, and even business failure.   Based on what I've observed, here are five common financial red flags that you absolutely cannot afford to ignore, along with practical steps you can take to address them. Red Flag #1: Constant Cash Flow Crises Despite "Profitable" Projects This is the most puzzling red flag for many owners. You look at your profit and loss statement, and it shows a healthy profit. Yet, your bank account is always running on fumes. You're constantly chasing payments, delaying supplier invoices, or juggling funds to make payroll. Why it's a problem: Profit is a theoretical measure of what you've earned over a period; cash flow is the actual money moving in and out of your business. In construction, where you often incur significant costs upfront (materials, labor for the first phase) and payments come in installments (often with retainage held back), it's entirely possible to be profitable on paper but cash-poor in reality. This constant stress impacts your ability to take on new projects, negotiate better deals, and even pay your team on time, leading to low morale. How to fix it: Implement Robust Progress Billing: Don't wait until a project is 50% or 100% complete. Structure your contracts to allow for regular progress payments tied to specific milestones (e.g., foundation poured, framing complete, rough-ins finished). This ensures a steady stream of cash. Aggressive Accounts Receivable (A/R) Management: Send invoices promptly as soon as milestones are met. Have a polite but firm follow-up process for overdue invoices. Don't be afraid to make phone calls. Negotiate Favorable Payment Terms with Suppliers and Subcontractors: While you want to pay your bills on time, try to secure longer payment terms (e.g., Net 30 or Net 45) from your vendors whenever possible. This helps you collect from your clients before your payments are due. Manage Retainage Proactively: Thoroughly understand the retainage clauses in your contract. Track how much retainage is outstanding for each project and aggressively pursue its release as soon as the contractual conditions are met. This money is yours; get it! Build a Cash Reserve: Even a small percentage of profit set aside each month into a dedicated savings account can create a vital buffer for lean times. Aim for 3-6 months of operating expenses. Red Flag #2: Consistently Inaccurate Project Estimates (Leading to Underbidding) Do you frequently find projects ending up significantly over budget, eating into your expected profit margins, or even becoming a loss? Do you often need to inform clients about additional costs? This points directly to issues with your initial estimating process. Why it's a problem: Inaccurate estimates mean you're consistently underbidding, leaving money on the table, or worse, taking on jobs that will inevitably lose you money. This directly impacts your profitability and, by extension, your cash flow, as you're funding the gap with either the cash from other projects or your capital. It also damages client trust when costs unexpectedly balloon. How to fix it: Implement Detailed Job Costing: This is a non-negotiable requirement. For every project, meticulously track all expenses, including labor hours (with specific tasks), material quantities and costs, subcontractor invoices, equipment rentals, permit fees, and miscellaneous expenses. Learn from Past Projects: Conduct a post-mortem analysis after each project. Compare your actual costs to your estimated costs. Where were the discrepancies? Was it materials? Labor hours? Unexpected site conditions? Use these insights to refine your estimating formulas. Categorize and Standardize: Develop a comprehensive system of cost codes for materials, labor types, and activities to ensure accurate and consistent tracking of costs. This consistency makes it easier to track and compare data across projects. Build in Contingency: Always include a contingency fund (typically 5-15% of the total project cost) in your estimates for unforeseen issues, changes in material prices, or minor scope creep. Use Estimating Software: Even simple estimating software can help streamline the process, ensure all line items are considered, and integrate with your accounting system. Red Flag #3: Uncontrolled Material Waste & Loss Are materials constantly going missing or getting damaged on site, or are you consistently buying more than what was initially estimated? This is a direct drain on your project's profitability and your company's cash. Why it's a problem: Every piece of wasted or lost material is money directly out of your pocket. It means you're paying more than you bid, leading to cost overruns. It can also cause project delays while you wait for replacements. How to fix it: Implement Strict Inventory Control: Secure Storage. Designate secure, organized storage areas on job sites for materials when not in use or overnight. Material Tracking System: For larger projects, consider a simple log or spreadsheet to track materials received and used. Regular Site Cleanliness: A clean, organized job site naturally leads to less waste and makes it easier to spot missing items. Careful Material Handling: Train your crew on proper handling and storage techniques for various materials to minimize damage and ensure optimal safety. Accurate Take-offs: Ensure your initial material take-offs (the process of determining the quantities of materials needed) are precise to avoid over-ordering or multiple trips to the supplier. Return Unused Materials: Establish a process for returning unused, undamaged materials to suppliers for credit, where possible. Red Flag #4: Inefficient Labor Utilization & Unaccounted Time Labor is often the most significant cost for a construction company. Suppose your crews are standing around, waiting for materials, traveling excessively between job sites without proper tracking, or simply not as productive as they could be. In that case, your labor costs are likely to be increasing significantly. Why it's a problem: Every idle hour or misspent minute costs you money. Inefficient labor directly reduces your profit margins and can cause projects to fall behind schedule, leading to client dissatisfaction and potential penalty clauses. Unaccounted time can also lead to compliance issues with wage and hour laws. How to fix it: Accurate Time Tracking: Implement a robust system for tracking employee time. This could include mobile apps with GPS features, biometric time clocks, or even detailed paper timesheets, as long as they are managed in a meticulous manner. Ensure all hours (including travel, breaks, and specific tasks) are accurately recorded. Optimize Scheduling & Workflow: Plan daily tasks meticulously. Ensure materials, equipment, and instructions are ready before the crew arrives. Minimize downtime from waiting or searching for tools. Cross-Training: Train your crew members on various tasks. This provides flexibility and prevents delays if one skilled worker is absent or busy elsewhere. Daily Huddles/Toolbox Talks: Begin each day with a brief meeting to review tasks, identify potential roadblocks, and ensure everyone is aware of their role. Regular Performance Reviews: Identify bottlenecks or areas where productivity can be improved. Provide training or reassign tasks as needed. Red Flag #5: Lack of Financial Visibility & Untimely Reporting Are your financial reports always weeks or months behind? Do you rely on gut feeling more than actual numbers to make business decisions? Do you only look at your bank balance at the end of the month? This means you're flying blind. Why it's a problem: Without up-to-date and accurate financial information, you cannot make informed decisions. You won't spot cash flow issues, cost overruns, or unprofitable projects until it's too late. This lack of visibility prevents strategic planning and proactive problem-solving. How to fix it: Invest in Good Accounting Software: QuickBooks Desktop or Online, Foundation Software, or other industry-specific solutions are essential. They automate data entry, generate reports, and track job costs. Maintain Clean Books Consistently: Don't let your bookkeeping pile up. Enter invoices, payments, and expenses regularly, ideally on a daily or weekly basis. This provides a real-time picture. Review Key Reports Regularly: Cash Flow Statement - Review it weekly or bi-weekly to track where your money is going and coming from. Job Costing Reports: Review weekly to compare actual costs against your budget for each project. Accounts Receivable Aging Report: Review weekly to see who owes you money and for how long. Work Closely with Your Bookkeeper: A good construction bookkeeper isn't just a data entry specialist; they are your financial partner. They can provide valuable insights, flag potential issues, and help you understand your numbers, enabling you to make informed, profitable decisions. Identifying and addressing these financial red flags isn't about adding more burdens to your plate; it's about building a stronger, more resilient construction business. By taking proactive steps and staying on top of your numbers, you can turn those red flags into green lights for growth and lasting profitability. Don't let hidden financial issues undermine your hard work on the job site – empower yourself with clarity and control.   About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington.

Send me a Text Message!In this powerful episode recorded in Cancun, Mike and Angie reflect on how far their family has come—from toxic, chaotic vacations rooted in escapism and conflict, to conscious travel experiences centered around peace, healing, and generational transformation. They pull back the curtain on the realities of generational trauma, how nervous systems become conditioned to chaos, and what it takes to rewire for peace and presence. You'll hear deeply personal stories from their past and the work they continue to do on themselves and in their family today.If you've ever struggled to enjoy success, felt anxious even in moments of rest, or watched patterns repeat across generations—you're not alone. This episode reminds us that nervous system healing isn't just personal—it's generational.Key Takeaways:Family transformation takes time, honesty, and deep inner work—healing one nervous system at a time.Vacations used to be a form of escapism fueled by alcohol and control; now, they're containers for conscious presence and joy.Children absorb the energetic imprint of their environment, and it takes intention to break that cycle.Even when chaos is gone, the body may still be wired for it—healing requires consistent inner awareness and release.Financial success doesn't guarantee safety; true security comes from emotional regulation and nervous system health.Notable Quotes (Word-for-Word):“We were all operating at the highest level of our consciousness and awareness. Just most of the time it wasn't very good.”“Our beautiful, amazing daughters that we love so much were in our space and we thought it was just normal just to argue and get visceral with their little tender bodies, their sensitive bodies absorbing all this chaos.”“Your central nervous system is built and wired from the past, from experiences, from traumas… to operate from survival mode even in the absence of danger.”“You're no longer in the environment of that shit—the drama, the conflict—but for whatever reason your central nervous system still expects it.”“We experience safety and security in our body, not in our bank account.”Music Credit: "What's Left of Me" by Wes Hoffman & FriendsCreate a New Pattern This episode is a powerful reminder that the quality of your life doesn't come from the next goal, the next trip, or the next win — it comes from the energy you live in every day. If you've been outsourcing peace to your environment, this is your invitation to reclaim it from within. Join us as we unpack what it means to lead a family, a business, and a life from nervous system regulation, emotional truth, and deep personal power.Want to Go Deeper?Visit www.innerwealthglobal.com and explore tools, programs, and offerings that guide you back to your aligned life.

“If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” - Luke 16:11What if managing money is about more than just numbers and budgets—what if it's a window into something eternal? Afton Phillips joins us today as we explore the mission behind the message you hear every day on this program, and how you can be a part of it.Afton Phillips is the Head of Content at FaithFi: Faith & Finance. The Heart Behind the MissionSo why focus so much on finances?Because how we handle money reveals what we treasure most. At FaithFi, we want to help people experience freedom, peace, and generosity—not just from better budgeting, but from surrendering their hearts to God.It's a message that resonates with people in all seasons of life. Whether you feel boxed in by a budget or anxious about a financial decision, each of those moments is an invitation to reflect on your heart and trust in Christ. We are already living in abundance with the love of Christ.The Common Struggles We All FaceHere are the three biggest challenges that Christians often face when it comes to faithful money management:Trust vs. Security–It's easy to place our hope in financial stability rather than in God.Comfort vs. Generosity–Culture tells us to accumulate, but God calls us to live open-handedly.Identity vs. Worth–We're constantly tempted to measure our value by our bank accounts rather than who we are in Christ.That's why the resources we offer—from our studies to our podcast—aren't just about financial literacy. They're about spiritual formation. The concepts we talk about are an intentional reset. They help us move away from the emptiness of accumulation and toward peace that's rooted in Christ.Why Ecclesiastes Still Speaks TodayFaithFi's newest Bible study, Wisdom Over Wealth, takes readers through the book of Ecclesiastes. This book speaks directly to our modern struggles with meaning, anxiety, and financial pressure.There may not be another book in the Bible that talks about death more, so it really forces you to ask: What really matters? When you realize how short life is, you start to live more intentionally, and that includes how you manage your finances.Rather than treating money as ultimate, Ecclesiastes helps us see it as a gift. Something to be enjoyed, yes—but also stewarded wisely under God's authority.FaithFi's Tools for the JourneyIf you're new to FaithFi, here's a quick look at the resources we offer to help believers apply biblical wisdom to their financial lives every day:Radio + Podcast: Our daily conversations bring timeless biblical wisdom into your financial life.FaithFi App: A free, easy-to-use budgeting tool that helps you align your spending with eternal values—and includes a community of other believers on the same journey.High-Quality Articles and Content: Each week, we share insightful content from leading voices in Christian finance, designed to help you connect your faith with everyday financial decisions.Bible Studies + Devotionals: Deep dives into Scripture that explore God's heart for money and stewardship.Faithful Steward Magazine: A beautifully designed quarterly publication filled with quick reads, practical tips, and theological insights.How You Can Support the MissionAs we approach the end of our fiscal year (June 30), FaithFi is inviting listeners to join our mission by becoming a FaithFi Partner.Here's what your partnership makes possible:Continued production of biblical, practical resources like this radio program.Expansion of studies and devotionals that transform lives.Investment in tools like the FaithFi app that meet people where they are.A monthly gift of $35 or an annual gift of $400 qualifies you for our FaithFi Partner Program.

Additionally, is there a typical range for origination fees and closing costs?My husband and I are struggling to tithe because we disagree with how our church is spending the money. We feel like we're the only ones concerned, and it's hard to give when we believe the funds could be used more wisely. Are we in the wrong for feeling this way? Should we continue tithing anyway?I contributed to a traditional IRA, thinking it was a wise move, but now that I'm retired, I'm in a higher tax bracket than when I earned the income. Are there any strategies to reduce the tax burden in this situation?I want to help my child purchase their first home. Would it be more cost-effective to cosign on their mortgage, or take out a home equity loan myself and pay off the mortgage directly while they repay me?

Ever heard the phrase “may you live in interesting times?” Seems applicable these days. And it's causing a lot of people to live with a constant feeling of anxiety that nags at you, sapping at your energy throughout the day, so by bedtime, you're exhausted but still can't sleep. Financial stress is a primary source. According to an April 2025 survey, fewer than 45% of Americans say they're in better than fair shape financially. Which means more than 50% are not ok. Well, there's a good chance that it's not your fault. Because many Americans did not grow up with the family support to develop financial literacy from a young age. Maybe you were told family finances were “none of your business.” Layer on top that often parents and grandparents didn't have a strong financial foundation of understanding to start with either. Anders Jones has been taking matters around this topic into his own hands ever since a series of twists and turns brought him into what he and his mother jokingly call "the family business", even though the family doesn't have a business and they never worked together.Growing up, Anders was fortunate to not really want for much of anything. His mom worked at Fidelity and helped millions of Americans prepare for retirement. His stepdad was a British guy who gifted him his first car, complete with a single CD disc changer and two requirements.Graduating college in 2009, at the height of a financial crisis, he didn't have a whole lot of prospects for becoming an investment banker or going into private equity. So he joined a Web 2.0 company owned by a serial entrepreneur whose method was to hire young, promising talent and empower them to figure things out. After a while, they sold the company. Since then, he's become involved with several ventures, including co-founding a financial planning firm called Facet.Now, Anders says that he feels so fortunate that if he were to die and be reincarnated, he'd want to come back as himself. That's not something many people would say. So at what moment did the boomerang whack him in the face and show him why Fine Is a 4-Letter Word?Well hang on, because when you meet Anders, you'll find out that this time, it's you, the listener, for whom things are not "fine". Up until now, you've been told that money is a taboo topic. Up until now, you've been told to trust your gut, then gotten lambasted when you did and things didn't work out as planned. It's time for new conversations on a lot of topics. Anders is going to get us started on three - gratitude, mindfulness, and financial literacy. There's a reason he picks three, which you'll also find out. Anders' hype song is “Riding With The King” by B.B. King & Eric Clapton.Resources:Anders Jones' website: https://facet.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anders-jones/ Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to...

Financial institutions are losing an average of $100 million annually due to a fundamental disconnect between fintech innovation and traditional financial systems. A phenomenon FIS and Oxford Economics have termed the "Harmony Gap." "We hear a lot from people about the challenges and friction they see in the money lifecycle," explains FIS CTO, Firdaus Bhathena, at his firm's Emerald Conference at the end of May in Orlando, Florida.. "But we had not been able to quantify that." His firm's collaboration with Oxford Economics is changing that, providing hard data on what many suspected but couldn't measure. The new research, based on surveys of 1,000 executives across the US, UK, and Singapore, reveals that disharmony in the financial system is a costly reality affecting everything from cybersecurity to operational efficiency. As Margaux McLoughlin of Oxford Economics puts it, "When there are disruptions across the money lifecycle, that's what we call disharmony." Understanding what the research describes as a Harmony Gap requires examining how the modern financial ecosystem operates, why the human cost extends far beyond corporate losses, and what organizations can do to bridge the disconnect between innovation and implementation. The path forward requires a rethinking of how financial institutions approach systemic challenges in an interconnected world.

Financial technology, known as fintech, is everywhere. If you send money by phone or invest with the help of robo-advisors, you're using it. Its proponents say by lowering costs, it can expand the range of financial services providers can offer and the pool of people who can afford them.  But fintech presents risks, including to privacy. Fintech companies aren't subject to the same regulations as traditional financial institutions when it comes to handling personal data. And some worry regulatory safeguards aren't keeping up with fintech advances.  Amid the uncertainty, fintech's role in financial services keeps expanding. How will fintech change the landscape for consumers? Can banks adjust? And will it make a real difference for those long shut out of traditional financial services?  Download the paper Harvard Business School professor Emily Williams presented at the Economic Conference, “Fintech, Financial Inclusion, and the Future of Finance.” Watch the session she spoke at, titled “Innovative Financial Technologies and Financial inclusion.”

When we catch ourselves putting too much focus on our finances, scripture recommends generosity as a way to restore balance. The apostle Paul told the Corinthians to be a conduit for giving to others as a form of service and gratitude.  “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, ...

Many dentists unknowingly fall into the trap of passive financial oversight, often relying on external teams who might be more reactive than proactive. This leads us to a critical question: Is your external team a bunch of cheerleaders, or are they truly coaches?

What if the biggest threat to your culture was the language you use?As your firm scales, the way you talk about the people on your team can either create clarity or chaos. In this solo episode, I share a painful but powerful lesson I learned while building Triad Partners—from an underperforming team member we were too afraid to let go, to 100+ A-players aligned to a clear mission.You'll hear the exact mistake we made, why we had to course-correct fast, and how shifting a single word completely transformed how we hire, lead, and hold people accountable.If you're trying to scale your business without sacrificing your team's trust or performance, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson …#1.) Why “Family” Sends the Wrong MessageCalling your team a “family” feels inclusive, but it clouds expectations. It creates hesitation when tough decisions need to be made and sends mixed signals about what's acceptable. Replacing “family” with “team” gives you the clarity and confidence to lead with consistency.#2.) Families Blur Boundaries but Teams Require ThemIn a family, you show up no matter what, even when standards slip. But in business, that thinking weakens accountability. Teams work best when expectations are clear, responsibilities are defined, and everyone knows what it means to pull their weight.#3.) Belonging Should Be Earned, Not AssumedIn a family, you belong by default. On a team, you earn your spot by aligning with the mission. This mindset shift helps you attract the right people, foster buy-in, and build a culture where everyone's rowing in the same direction.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/122FOLLOW 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.

A few years on and both of Jessie's sons have been diagnosed with ADHD, and she has received a diagnosis too. Having previously written about autism and how to ensure an autistic child is happy she's back with a new book - How To Raise a Happy ADHD Child - and offers listeners her thoughtful advice.
