Joe Withrow, Brian Moody, and Hans Toohey deliver a joint strategy session on building a financial foundation that survives contact with reality. Why does traditional financial planning put growth before protection? What happens when your plan gets punched in the face? And why is Infinite Banking the only savings vehicle that accomplishes two critical goals simultaneously?Most people have been trained to think their 401(k) is savings and their term life insurance is "just in case." They're told to focus on growth—index funds, average rates of return, retirement projections—while protection and actual savings become afterthoughts. But when job loss hits, disability strikes, or markets crater, the whole plan collapses. This episode reveals the proper order of operations: protect first, save second, grow third. Hans breaks down why "average rate of return" is a meaningless data point. Brian illustrates the parallel paths of protection and wealth accumulation with the diagram that makes it all click. And Joe explains why buying insurance isn't an expense if you do it correctly—it's saving money that immediately becomes accessible capital.The conversation covers IBC mechanics, policy loans that don't disrupt compounding, real estate purchases funded with cash value, the power of dinner table time for passing down values, and why building generational wealth starts with one decision: get the foundation right, then everything else becomes possible.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment01:25 - New Year's resolutions: tangible goals vs. vague aspirations08:50 - The invention of "Retirement Inc." in the 1970s11:05 - Protect, Save, Grow: the proper order of operations13:10 - What traditional CFPs get wrong about protection14:35 - Why "average rate of return" is a useless metric16:40 - Brian's parallel paths diagram begins19:30 - The two parallel paths: protection and wealth accumulation22:30 - What can disrupt the wealth curve?

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this solo episode I dive into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — concepts in diabetes management: SUSTAINABILITY.After reflecting on my own recent challenges with blood sugar fluctuations, stress, sleep, nutrition, and routine, I break down why even people who “know what they're doing” can fall out of alignment — and why that's not failure, it's reality.This episode challenges the obsession with A1C and Time in Range as the main metrics of success and instead how reframing the conversation around blood sugar stability, mental health, flexibility, leads to longer diabetes stability.

These pillars aren't just words; they're a way of life that shapes how we show up for our teams, families, and communities. Key Takeaways: Leadership starts with how you respond in tough moments.

How to Build a Thriving Creative Business: In-Depth Lessons from Miriam SchulmanIn this episode, host Josh Elledge sits down with Miriam Schulman, founder and CEO of Schulman Art and The Inspiration Place, to unpack the essential principles behind building a profitable and sustainable creative business. Miriam—also the author of the HarperCollins book Art, Inc.—shares her expertise on storytelling, branding, pricing, audience-building, and the mindset needed to overcome creative resistance. Her unique blend of artistic mastery and business strategy provides a powerful roadmap for any creator looking to turn passion into profit.The Power of Myth-Making in Creative BusinessMiriam introduces the concept of myth-making—drawing inspiration from Greek mythology—as the foundation of compelling branding for creative entrepreneurs. She explains that just as ancient heroes hired bards to tell their stories, modern creatives must proactively shape and share their own narratives to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Storytelling isn't self-indulgence; it's strategy.In the conversation, Miriam breaks down the five pillars of creative business success: production, pricing, prospecting, promotion, and productivity. She details how each pillar supports business growth and provides clear, actionable practices artists can incorporate immediately. From setting a consistent creation schedule to building an email list that actually converts, Miriam offers step-by-step advice grounded in her own business experience.Finally, she addresses the mindset challenges that hold creatives back—especially fear of failure, perfectionism, and the myth of “selling out.” Miriam emphasizes that discomfort is part of the creative journey. The more talented a person is, the better they often become at talking themselves out of action. Her reminders to “show up even when it's hard” and to treat creative work like a professional commitment resonate as core lessons for any business-minded artist.About Miriam SchulmanMiriam Schulman is a creative entrepreneur, artist, and the founder of The Inspiration Place, where she teaches artists how to build thriving businesses through marketing systems, pricing strategies, and mindset tools. She is also the author of Art, Inc.—a HarperCollins guidebook for creative professionals—and host of the popular Inspiration Place Podcast.

"When I was doing keto, a salad would spike my blood glucose. And this is because of the fat. There was so much saturated fat that my glucose tolerance was diminished. I went from keto to the opposite, the most opposite diet you could ever have: a plant-based diet. My insulin requirements started to come down very fast. I got down to an all-time low." Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death. It causes kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and blindness in severe cases. As a person with diabetes, keeping your blood sugar levels within the range recommended by your doctor can be exasperating.

In this episode of Making Risk Flow, host Jake Harding speaks with Matthew Grant, founder and CEO of Instech and a veteran of 33 years in catastrophe modelling. Matthew unpacks why insurance's cautious approach to AI is more strategic than sceptical. Together, they explore how carriers can align technology adoption with real business problems, build trust in new data sources, and drive operational efficiency without disrupting core workflows. Matthew explains why consistency in user interfaces can mask major capability leaps, how to focus on outcomes rather than perfection in data quality, and why the industry's measured pace reflects deep risk intelligence. The conversation offers insurers a clear roadmap on how a purposeful adoption of AI and cultural innovation can drive a durable competitive advantage.Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101, my Dungeon Mastering course based on over 30 years of experience. In this series I will share my failures and successes and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, I will cover Core Foundations. A breakdown of the DM's real responsibilities: arbiter, storyteller, referee, facilitator, audience, and performer https://youtube.com/live/XPrJiFyrOEg Show Notes Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga, Dungeon Mastering 101 episode! It is Palast, Darkember the 24th, my name is Adam, and today I am continuing my Dragonlance Gaming series all about Dungeon Mastering. Every Dungeon Master begins in the same place: excitement tempered by uncertainty. You're about to guide a group of wildly different human beings through a story that only exists because all of you choose to believe in it together. That takes responsibility. That takes awareness. And it takes a willingness to understand not just rules… but people. Today, we're laying the foundation. Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101: Core Foundations. Don't forget to like and subscribe to this channel, ring the bell, and you can support this channel by becoming a Patron on Patreon, a Member of this YouTube channel, and you can pick up Dragonlance media, using my affiliate links. All links are in the description below. Discussion Understanding People Before Dice Before you think about combat mechanics, monster stat blocks, or worldbuilding, you must start with the most important element at your table: the human beings sitting around it. Each player is a mixture of: personal history, culture and beliefs, unique motivations, individual learning styles, and different comfort levels with performance, math, and social dynamics Your job as a DM is not to homogenize them. Your job is to celebrate their differences and build a game that allows each one to shine. Recognize that no two people come to your table with the same expectations. The moment you embrace that, you begin to see the game not as a rigid structure… but as a living conversation. The Three Roles of a Dungeon Master A beginner DM often thinks their job is to “tell the story” or “run the monsters.” But those are only pieces of a larger whole. You actually play three roles at once: The Facilitator: You provide structure. You decide the pace. You keep the game moving, gently guiding everyone toward a shared experience. The Arbiter: Rules exist to support fun, not dominate it. You interpret them, make quick judgments, and maintain fairness — even when the entire table is watching. The Story Shepherd: You don't force a plot; you cultivate it. The players bring energy, curiosity, chaos, and creativity. You channel that into a narrative that feels meaningful. A great DM doesn't control the story. A great DM leads it. The Five Pillars of Running the Game Every session you run rests on five foundational pillars. Understanding these early will save you from the most common beginner mistakes. Combat: Not about numbers — about tension, stakes, and cinematic moments. Exploration: Let players discover, investigate, and poke around in a world that reacts to them. Social Interaction: NPCs, factions, rumors, alliances — all opportunities for the players to express themselves. Downtime: Breathing room. Character reflection. Progression. The glue between adventures. Character Arcs: The emotional throughlines. Every player is the protagonist of their own personal story, even within the larger campaign. Your best sessions mix these like ingredients. Too much of one throws everything off balance. Player Motivations (The 8 Types) If you want your table to stay engaged, you must understand why each person sits down to play. These correlate with teh Player Types I mentioned last week: Actor, Explorer, Instigator, Power Gamer, Slayer, Storyteller, Thinker, and Watcher. Most players fall into blends of these eight motivations: Combat-Driven – loves the fight, tactics, and victory Story-Driven – wants narrative depth Social-Driven – thrives on roleplay and interactions Puzzle-Driven – enjoys clever problems to solve Power-Driven – wants to grow stronger, gain prestige Discovery-Driven – loves lore, secrets, and worldbuilding Character-Driven – focuses on personal arcs and emotional journeys Chaos/Thrill-Driven – wants surprise, randomness, and wild moments Your job? Identify each player's blend, then feed them the content that lights them up. This alone can transform your DMing. Practical Skills Every Beginner Should Practice You don't need to master everything at once. Start with these reliable skills: Keep the Game Moving: Perfect decisions are less important than decisive ones. Make a call, keep the energy flowing. Learn to Say “Yes, But…”: “Yes, you can attempt that… but here's the risk.” This protects player agency while preserving challenge. Prep for Flexibility, Not Control: Prepare situations, not scripts. Players will destroy your plot — let them. It usually leads to something better. Share the Spotlight: Track who hasn't had a moment to shine, then give them one. Players remember how you make them feel far more than any plot twist. The First Big Secret of DMing Here's the truth: You don't need to be perfect. You don't need to know every rule. You don't even need to be the most creative person at the table. You just need to be present, attentive, and willing to learn* session by session. Every great DM started by fumbling through their first adventure. Closing Takeaway Dungeon mastering isn't about control — it's about collaboration. It's not about rules — it's about people. And it's not about perfection — it's about intention. If you embrace that mindset now, everything that comes later — encounters, villains, worldbuilding, arcs — becomes easier. This is your foundation. This is where your journey begins. Outro And that's it for this episode of Dungeon Mastering 101, Core Foundations!

In this episode of The Family Biz Show, family business consultant Michael Palumbos is joined by Shawn Barberis of More Than Money 360 to explore how high-net-worth families can protect and grow their family wealth by focusing on communication, values, and legacy—not just dollars. Together, they unpack proven strategies to strengthen generational continuity, including the five pillars of success and six laws of family advancement. 1. Shawn's Journey & "More Than Money" (02:23–08:18) Shawn shares why he left law to launch a firm focused on the relational and cultural side of legacy. He realized families needed more than documents—they needed systems to protect family wealth through values, communication, and structure. 2. Perception vs. Reality of Risk (14:53–17:00) Most families fear market loss, but data shows 85% of wealth loss stems from broken trust and poor communication. Shawn highlights why this mindset shift is crucial to family legacy. 3. The Engagement Process (19:10–21:05) A 3-step approach: educate the family, define the legacy goal, and build a values-based plan. Legacy is built through process—not a single event. 4. Five Pillars of Generational Success (23:10–27:26) The foundation of enduring family wealth: communication, core values, family legacy, philanthropy, and governance—all working together to sustain family purpose and identity. 5. Six Laws of Family Advancement (29:27–35:42) From gratitude over entitlement to rising gen empowerment and transparent meetings, Shawn shares six laws that help families sustain wealth and legacy long term. 6. System, Process & the MTM Meter (37:29–41:19) Shawn introduces the More Than Money Meter—a tool that tracks how prepared and satisfied families are across the five pillars. As he says, "You can't improve what you don't measure." Tangible Takeaways for Leaders of Family Businesses Realize that the biggest threat to your family's lasting wealth is likely not the markets — it's breakdown in communication, trust and shared purpose. Use a process, not just an event: Begin with the end in mind, build curriculum, set outcome criteria. Prioritize the rising generation early: Give them voice, let them lead in meaningful ways, particularly in areas like impact investing or philanthropy. Use measurement: As you would for a business strategic plan or financial plan, set baseline, track progress in communication, values, legacy and governance. Consider your advisor ecosystem: One "quarterback" advisor who understands the family, across generations, often provides better continuity than multiple siloed advisors.

Ashley Ching is the founder and CEO of InHaven, a company standardizing vacation rentals with hotel-grade essentials and service. After 13 years at Tiffany & Co., she saw how consistent standards create unforgettable experiences and brought that rigor to short-term rentals. Susan and Ashley talk about standards, scale, and service. What You'll Learn About: • How a free research study can turbocharge credibility, conferences, and customers • What Tiffany's playbook taught Ashley about pairing consistency with authenticity • How Westin's Heavenly Bed reset guest expectations across an entire industry • The five pillars great operators share—and the warning signs when each starts wobbling • How grouping by shared demand drivers sharpens ops and marketing • Why too many owners tank speed, focus, and sanity • Why empowered on-the-ground pros outdeliver policy-bound HQs • How hospitality hits dis-economies of scale and where the hidden labor costs lurk • How a new vacation-rental quality framework helps guests know what they're booking Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Consistency + Authenticity = Guest Trust Ashley draws on her Tiffany & Co. background to show that hospitality success hinges on balancing certainty (clear, dependable standards) with authenticity (local character and uniqueness). Just as Westin's Heavenly Bed redefined consistency in hotels, In Haven is working to create a reliability framework for vacation rentals so guests know what to expect without losing the charm of individual homes. 2. The Five Pillars of Successful Hospitality Management From her case study of Vacasa, Aimbridge, and decades of roll-ups before them, Ashley identified five pillars that predict whether management companies succeed or fail: Curated portfolio (avoiding too many "bad apples"), Properties grouped by similar demand drivers, Limited number of owners, Local-oriented operations, Empowered hospitality professionals. When these pillars erode—especially through over-centralization or owner overload—companies face churn, brain drain, and eventual collapse. 3. Bigger Isn't Always Better: Diseconomies of Scale in Hospitality Contrary to the industry's obsession with scale, Ashley's research shows that large property managers often face rising costs rather than savings. Unlike manufacturing, where size brings efficiency, hospitality is labor-intensive and complexity grows with scale. More units mean more staff layers, owner demands, and overhead—leading to diseconomies of scale instead of the promised efficiencies.
