More on dividend growth investing  -> Join our market newsletter!  While dividend growth remains the core of what we do, it's not the only path to building an income stream. In times of market distress, opportunities emerge that are simply too compelling to ignore. When venturing into troubled waters, the key is to stay disciplined and unemotional. Volatility may test you, but the potential rewards can be worth it. In this episode, Greg explores two distinct approaches to finding value from an income perspective. In the first half, he discusses business development corporations (BDCs), which often offer eye-catching yields north of 10%. Using Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp. ($OCSL) as a case study, he unpacks how BDCs are structured, where their income potential comes from, and why they carry above-average risk. More importantly, he shares why patience and preparation are key to capturing value when these high-yield opportunities go on sale. In the second half, we shift gears back to a more traditional name for dividend growth investors. Greg introduces Sysco Corp. ($SYY), a 50-year dividend payer in the essential world of food distribution. Unlike the high-yield, high-volatility world of BDCs, Sysco represents steady, well-managed growth with consistent operations. Even though the stock appears to have been in a holding pattern over the past few years, it fits squarely into our 10-year framework. In both cases, price discipline is essential. Topics Covered:01:46 – Introduction to BDCs (Business Development Corporations)05:18 – Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp Case Study 14:57 – Knowing What You Own: Risk and Return in Distressed Markets 16:23 – When and How to Buy BDCs 19:22 – Total Return Recap from a Past Investment in Oaktree 24:37 – Transition to Traditional Dividend Growth: Enter Sysco Corp 28:17 – The 10-Year Model: Can Sysco Double? 30:08 – Margin & Capital Efficiency Strengths 32:52 – Comparison to Competitors 35:05 – Valuation and Price-to-Sales History 35:29 – Risks: Cyclicality & Debt Load 38:58 – Why a “Boring” Food Distributor Might Outperform 41:39 – Wrapping Up: Patience, Price, and Knowing What You Own Send us a textSchedule a meeting with us -> Financial Planning & Portfolio Management If you submit a question to us and we use it in an episode, we will send you an official The Dividend Mailbox Yeti® Tumbler -> Email us at ethan@growmydollar.com.Notes & Resources:DCM Investment Reports & ModelsVisit our website to learn more about our investment strategy and wealth management services.Follow us on:Instagram - Facebook - LinkedIn - XIf you enjoy the show, we'd greatly appreciate it if you subscribe and leave a review

“We're talking about giving space to practice. Not only practice the relationships but also practice managing money.” -Sean Maher   Most people plan their estate down to the last dollar, but forget to prepare for the emotional fallout that almost always comes from a lack of proper communication between family members.   Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with husband and wife team Sean and Jill Maher to talk about their book The Greatest Gift: 9 Principles for the Transfer of Your Legacy Along with Your Wealth, which journeys into the emotional side of passing down wealth and family legacy.   The idea for the book came after Sean, a financial advisor, saw a well-planned inheritance fall apart when a family started fighting after their parents passed. He brought the issue home to Jill, a mental health counselor, who pointed out that what he was really seeing wasn't a planning problem—it was grief. Together, they've come up with nine key principles that help families avoid drama and stay connected regarding inheritance.   The big takeaway? It's not just about the money. No matter how much (or little) you're passing on, what matters most is communication, shared values, and emotional safety.   Jill and Sean suggest families start having small, low-pressure meetings early, while everyone's still around to talk things through. It's about creating space for honest conversations, building trust, and setting expectations. Their advice blends practical planning with emotional wisdom, encouraging people to treat legacy as a relationship, not just a transaction.   At the heart of it all, their message is simple: don't avoid the tough conversations—have them, and carry them out with love.   Key Topics: Why Sean and Jill Wrote The Greatest Gift (00:49) “You're Passing on Not Just Money, But Also Legacy” (04:33) How to Set Up and Facilitate the Inheritance Conversation with a Family (10:22) Setting Expectations Upfront to Nip Objections in the Bud (21:07) Why Sharing Your Story is So Critical (28:52) Nurturing Independence (35:53) Creating a Safe Environment for Your Children (45:49)   Resources: The Greatest Gift Book USE COUPON CODE: takebackretirement for $5 off and free shipping!   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with David Steele, Founder + CEO of One Wealth Advisors and co-founder and Executive Chairman of Flour + Water Hospitality Group He highlights how applying the principles of service, goal-setting, and valuing people has shaped his journey from financial planning to building successful restaurant groups and supporting arts organizations. In today's episode, we discuss: True business success is rooted in serving others, not just making profits, because when work benefits others, it leads to deeper happiness and long-lasting impact, meaning you can feel good about making a difference while growing your business. Skills and principles are transferable from one industry to another, as David demonstrates by applying the same collaborative and organizational strategies across finance, food, and the arts, so you're not stuck on one path and can reinvent yourself in new fields with confidence. Pivotal life changes often start with self-awareness and honesty about dissatisfaction, like David's shift from being a successful stockbroker to a more fulfilling (but initially less lucrative) fee-based financial planning career. The lesson? It's okay, and sometimes essential, to pivot, especially if your values aren't being met. Caring for your team's well-being, even at a short-term cost, pays off through loyalty, retention, and greater future success, as shown by David's choice to keep his executive team during tough times, so you can build a lasting, supportive company culture.   Guest Bio David Steele, Founder + CEO of One Wealth Advisors and co-founder and Executive Chairman of Flour + Water Hospitality Group My primary role is as the co-founder and CEO of One Wealth Advisors, where we help people simplify their lives and achieve financial goals through Financial Life Planning.
