What should a great financial planning experience actually look like? For many investors, “financial planning” is reduced to product selection, performance chasing, or a one-time retirement projection that never gets revisited. In reality, a high-quality financial planning experience is far more comprehensive — and far more valuable. Richard Rosso breaks down the essential elements of effective financial planning. True financial planning is not about predicting markets or selling products. It is about building a durable framework that helps investors make better decisions through market cycles, life changes, and economic uncertainty. Whether you are working with an advisor or managing your finances independently, understanding what a great planning experience looks like can help you avoid costly mistakes and set more realistic expectations for long-term success. 0:00 - INTRO 0:20 - Financial Planning, PBS, & Benny Hill 4:08 - Comparisons of Big Box Brokerages' Financial Plans 7:52 - Financial Goals are Being Re-shuffled 12:54 - Financial Planners' Meaningless Titles 15:32 - Financial Advisors as Holistic Partners 23:00 - Maintaining Behavioral Balance 27:32 - Bad Gift-giving & Financial Swiffers 32:50 - Accumulation & De-cumulation Expertise Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhVoQc7adgU&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 ------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Markets Oversold After Key Support Break," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ITeHTYtt1Q&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- REGISTER for our 2026 Economic Summit, "The Future of Digital Assets, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing:" https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-ria-economic-summit-tickets-1765951641899?aff=oddtdtcreator ------- Watch our previous show, "Is the 60/40 Portfolio Dead?

Latino-owned businesses are one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. economy, yet many owners still struggle when it's time to sell or transition. Gaps in financial records, limited access to the right advisors, and the absence of an exit plan often lead owners to shut down or hand over their businesses without capturing real value. Rudy Bustamante, Financial Planner at OneIndiana Financial Group, discusses why this happens and what can be done about it. He explains how cultural and language barriers complicate the process, why succession planning is rarely discussed, and how simple systems and accurate financials can change the outcome for an owner and their family. Rudy also highlights the resources owners should know about and how to spot advisors who understand the unique needs of the Latino business community.   In this episode, you will: Learn why many Latino business owners fail to plan for an exit  Understand the role of financial records and planning in a successful business transition Discover the cultural and language barriers that affect Latino business sales and how to address them   Highlights: (00:00) Meet Rudy Bustamante (04:19) Challenges faced by Latino-owned businesses (10:53) Generational wealth and business transition (20:09) Retirement in the Latino community (22:47) Family dynamics and retirement plans (23:11) Transitioning Latino businesses (28:35) Predatory practices and community trust (30:52) Building trust and resources   Follow Rudy: Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rudybustamanteoif/ Website: https://www.bustamanteconsulting.com/ Learn more about OneIndiana Financial Group: https://www.oneindianafinancial.com/   Follow Ed: Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmysogland/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/defendersofbusinessvalue/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bvdefenders   Resources for Latino Business Owners National & Broad-Reach Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI) – Free education programs, some scholarships, research, and the "Scaling Program": https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/labs-initiatives/slei Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) – Stanford-partnered scaling and exit-planning cohorts: www.lban.us U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) – Spanish-language resources, free counseling: https://www.sba.gov/document/support-national-resource-guide-spanish SCORE Mentoring – Free mentors, many bilingual, search for "Spanish" or "Latino": https://www.score.org/find-mentor  Exit-Planning & Valuation Specific International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) – Broker directory; filter for Spanish-speaking: https://www.ibba.org/ Value Builder System – Free "Value Builder Score" questionnaire (Spanish version available): https://valuebuilder.com/ Capital & Financial Clean-Up Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) – Latino-focused lenders who understand informal records: search "CDFI Latino", https://oportun.com/ or https://www.liftfund.com/ Accion Opportunity Fund – Loans and bilingual coaching specifically for Latino owners: https://aofund.org/ Local/Regional Powerhouses U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) – Local chapters everywhere: www.ushcc.com Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) – DC/Maryland/Virginia: https://www.ledcmetro.org/ Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA):  https://medasf.org/ Books & Quick Reads (in Spanish or bilingual) "De Emprendedor a Empresario" – LBAN/Stanford free PDF "Finish Big" by Bo Burlingham (Spanish edition available)

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph sits down with Certified Financial Planner Meera Shireen for a powerful conversation about money, nervous system safety, and what it actually means to feel secure with your finances as your business grows. While Meera brings over a decade of financial planning experience, this conversation goes far beyond traditional money advice. Together, they unpack why so many entrepreneurs fear wealth, how childhood patterns shape your financial identity, and why nervous system regulation is one of the most overlooked components of building long-term wealth. Meera shares her journey from studying economics to entering the financial planning world, launching her own firm, and integrating somatic therapy into her work. She explains why so many high earners still feel "bad with money," the emotional blocks that keep entrepreneurs from knowing their numbers, and how industry jargon and gatekeeping contribute to shame and avoidance. Throughout the episode, Steph and Meera break down the biggest money mistakes entrepreneurs make, how to choose the right financial advisor, why understanding your numbers is a somatic exercise, and how to use money to improve your quality of life—not outsource your entire life. This is an honest, grounding, and empowering conversation for anyone who wants to make more money and feel genuinely safe holding it. 00:00 Introduction 01:06 Meera's Journey: From Economics to Financial Planning 03:52 Why So Many Entrepreneurs Feel "Bad With Money" 07:41 Money Jargon, Gatekeeping & Financial Avoidance 10:22 Nervous System Responses to Wealth & Money Conversations 14:47 Fear of Success and Why More Money Can Feel Unsafe 17:10 Knowledge as a Somatic Regulator 19:28 How Financial Professionals Should Actually Support Clients 23:54 How to Choose a Financial Planner or Wealth Advisor 27:13 The Role of CPAs, Bookkeepers, and Fiduciaries Explained 31:02 Why Tracking Every Penny Is a Control Mechanism 34:22 Using Money to Improve Quality of Life (Not Avoid Life) 38:19 Outsourcing vs. Losing Connection to What Brings You Joy 43:08 What Clients Should Do First to Improve Their Relationship With Money 48:35 Creating Healthy, Values-Aligned Money Routines 52:20 Final Thoughts To connect with Meera, follow her on Instagram @meerashireen.

Financial advisors often begin the year energized, organized, and committed to ambitious goals. Yet, by March, many find their plans stalling—not because of a lack of motivation, but because of a lack of true accountability. In this episode, neurobiology-based performance and accountability expert Brian Ford breaks down why traditional views of discipline and accountability fail, how advisors can build systems that actually work, and what it takes to sustain long-term behavior change. Brian shares the science, psychology, and practical frameworks that help advisors stop relying on motivation alone and start building systems that drive real follow-through.

Send us a text“Money doesn't change men, it merely unmasks them.” -Henry FordSeveral years ago, my wife and I decided we would not wait until we were deceased, but would instead provide financial gifts to our children while we were still alive.

Stop saying "I'm not a runner." Use this reframe instead: "I'm a Grade 1 runner." This changes it from being an all-or-nothing proposition. It is also redefining what success looks like. For a Grade 1 runner, simply getting outside once or twice a week without hurting themselves is a success. That simple reframe can be enough to change behaviour, and build confidence and momentum. Bevan James Eyles, in my latest conversation for It's Never About Money, struck me as someone full of practical advice like this. Having wrestled with the question of willpower his whole career, I asked him: why is it that one person can find the willpower to train for an elite Ironman, while others struggle to exercise at all?

On Jesse's 11th "Ask Me Anything" episode, he unpacks four questions that sit at the center of real-life financial decision-making. He starts with a grounded look at the 15-year vs. 30-year mortgage debate, cutting through rules of thumb to show how interest rates, liquidity, cash-flow, and even your personal comfort with debt shape the right choice far more than blanket advice ever could. From there, he turns to the under-discussed strategy behind Health Savings Accounts—why the "invest and reimburse later" approach works, when it stops working, and how the tax bomb of leaving HSA dollars to non-spouse heirs should change how listeners think about funding and spending those accounts in their 50s and beyond. In a detailed case study, Jesse walks through a listener's complex 2026 tax year involving rental-property capital gains, ACA cliffs, Social Security timing, and potential Roth conversions, revealing how layered tax rules—income brackets, capital gains stacking, depreciation recapture, and NIIT—interact in ways that can either save or silently cost retirees thousands. And finally, he tackles whether a diehard DIY investor or Boglehead should ever hire a financial planner, drawing a sharp distinction between the "Uncle Franks" who truly live and breathe this stuff and the "Nicks" who love markets but miss the deeper planning work. With clarity, nuance, and practical wisdom, Jesse shows listeners not just what to do, but how to think through the tradeoffs that define good long-term planning. Key Takeaways: • A 15-year mortgage saves significant interest, but the higher monthly payments reduce cash-flow flexibility and increase default risk. • A 30-year mortgage often wins mathematically when investors "invest the difference," thanks to potentially higher long-term market returns versus fixed loan rates. • Choosing a mortgage term is partly a psychological decision, not just a financial optimization. • HSA dollars become a tax trap if left to non-spouse heirs, who must treat the entire balance as taxable income in the year of inheritance. • Selling a rental property triggers both capital gains and depreciation recapture, which can dramatically increase taxable income in that year. • DIY investors vary widely—some are true experts, while others know just enough to make avoidable mistakes.

They explain how factors like cost of living, property taxes, healthcare access, and state tax laws can have a lasting impact on financial security. Even small differences—such as insurance costs or utility bills—can add up over the years and strain a retirement budget. Listeners will also learn why lifestyle factors matter as much as financial ones. A move to a warmer climate may seem ideal, but access to quality healthcare, transportation, and social networks is equally important. Sandy and Tyler share real-world examples of clients who reconsidered relocation plans after evaluating these details. The key takeaway is that relocation should never be a snap decision. By running the numbers, visiting multiple times, and discussing long-term goals with a financial planner, retirees can ensure their move enhances rather than hinders their retirement. At BWFA, we help clients weigh the financial and lifestyle implications of relocation. This episode offers practical strategies to avoid surprises and make relocation a positive step forward.

Today's conversation digs deep into one of the most important and misunderstood stages of financial development: the tween years. Research shows our money habits are formed as early as age seven, yet most people don't start investing seriously until their 30s or 40s. So what happens if we bridge that gap? What if kids as young as 10 begin learning how money works, how investing grows wealth, and how to make smart decisions with the dollars they earn, save, and spend?Our guest is Jamie Bosse is a Financial Planner, Author, and Mother of four. She helps her clients navigate life's transitions and overcome and anticipate potential roadblocks along the way. Jamie finds it extremely rewarding to see people organize their financial lives, maximize their human capital, and get closer to their life goals in her work at CGN Advisors. Jamie has a passion for mentoring and financial literacy and is the author of Money Boss Mom: Helping Young Parents Be the “Boss” of Their Financial Future, as well as the Milton the Money-Savvy Pup children's book series.Her next book, Investing for Tweens, is available for preorder here.In this episode, we explore how parents can introduce investing in a way that feels tangible, empowering, and fun — whether that's buying a share of Nike because your kid loves their sneakers or using a custodial brokerage account to let them experience the market in real time. We also talk about helping college-age kids understand the real cost of life, how to communicate money boundaries at home, and how parents can teach healthy financial habits even if they're still working through their own.

COSTLY MISTAKES THE REALITY OF CREDIT MISUSE FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Credit cards are convenient, but without careful management, they can become a financial trap. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge discuss how misusing credit cards impacts long-term financial health—and share strategies for avoiding costly mistakes. Full Description Credit cards offer convenience, rewards, and short-term flexibility. Yet for many, they also become a source of debt and financial stress. High interest rates, overspending, and missed payments can quickly add up, making it harder to save, invest, or plan for retirement. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr., and Tyler Kluge discuss the hidden risks of mismanaging credit cards. They explain how carrying balances month after month erodes wealth and why relying on credit for everyday expenses creates long-term challenges. The conversation also covers the impact of late payments on credit scores and how that can affect borrowing costs in the future. Listeners will learn practical strategies for using credit responsibly. Sandy and Tyler share insights on how to avoid common traps, such as making only minimum payments or applying for too many cards at once. They also highlight the importance of budgeting, paying balances in full, and using rewards programs wisely. The key message is that credit cards are not inherently bad—they simply require discipline. With thoughtful use, they can provide flexibility and even benefits. Without discipline, they can derail savings goals and put your financial security at risk. At BWFA, we help clients make informed decisions about debt, savings, and long-term planning. This episode offers actionable advice to help you avoid the pitfalls of mismanaging credit cards and build a stronger financial foundation.

Certified financial planner Michelle Neiswender discusses her article, "Why physicians should not be their own financial planner." Michelle explains why physicians, despite being brilliant, often make costly financial mistakes when managing their own money. She argues that financial planning is a complex specialty (just like medicine) and that a doctor's time is too valuable to be spent decoding tax rules or tracking stocks. Michelle highlights the unique tax challenges physicians face as high-income earners and how emotional bias (like fear during a market dip) can derail a financial plan. This discussion covers why delegating to a CFP is a wealth-building strategy and how it protects physicians from costly errors in investments, retirement planning, and insurance. Learn why the smartest doctors get a "second opinion" on their financial health. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

COSTLY MISTAKES THE RISK OF OVERLOOKING INFLATION FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Inflation may not seem dramatic day-to-day, but over time it quietly erodes your purchasing power. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why ignoring inflation is one of the most common and costly mistakes retirees make. Full Description Inflation has always been part of the economic landscape, but recent years have reminded us how quickly costs can rise. Even modest annual increases add up over decades, changing what retirees can afford and forcing tough decisions about lifestyle, travel, and healthcare. Planning without accounting for inflation often leads to budgets that work on paper at the start of retirement but fail later on. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge break down why inflation is called the “invisible thief.” They explain how it reduces the value of savings, increases the cost of essential services, and undermines long-term financial security. Retirees who ignore inflation may find that what felt safe in their 60s becomes inadequate in their 80s. Listeners will learn practical ways to protect against inflation. Strategies include investing in growth assets, diversifying income streams, and reviewing plans regularly to reflect changing conditions. Sandy and Tyler also share how BWFA helps clients stress-test portfolios under different inflation scenarios, offering peace of mind that the plan can adapt to both gradual increases and unexpected spikes. The key takeaway is that retirement planning must look forward, not just focus on today's expenses. By anticipating rising costs and adjusting proactively, you can preserve purchasing power, maintain your lifestyle, and protect the legacy you hope to leave for loved ones.

In this episode, I sit down with Todd Pisarczyk of Momentus Wealth Management to unpack what it really looks like to go from a great advisory practice to a truly scalable, CEO-led firm. Todd shares the behind-the-scenes shifts, the unexpected realizations, and the tangible systems he built through coaching that helped him move from “doing all the things” to running a business with clarity, confidence, and a long-term vision. From refining processes to elevating the client experience, this conversation is packed with real advisor wins and practical inspiration. In this episode you'll learn: • Why even successful advisors hit a wall when their practice starts feeling like a “real business” • How documenting processes changed the game for Todd's team of eight and created repeatability for the next generation • The planning, tax, and client-experience upgrades that now keep almost every client showing up for reviews • How shifting into the CEO role brought Todd clarity, confidence, and a bigger mission for his firm • Why group coaching amplified his growth far beyond what he expectedTodd's story is an amazing reminder that growth doesn't require being a “hot mess.” Sometimes the biggest leaps come from refining what's already working, creating structure around what's been living in your head, and surrounding yourself with advisors who are building remarkable businesses too. His journey shows what's possible when you finally step into the CEO seat, create repeatable systems, and elevate your client experience with intention.Learn more about the Group Coaching & Mastermind HERE!
