Send us a textCars have long been sold as the ultimate symbol of freedom. But what if they've trapped us instead? In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., we sit down with Arthur Kay, urban designer and coauthor of Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars.Kay argues that America's car dependency is more than a climate issue—it's a system of financial, political, and social control that burdens working and middle-class families, strains local economies, and limits real choice. Together, we explore:Why cars drive hidden costs in housing, taxes, and debtHow car-centric cities hollow out communities and opportunitiesThe global lessons America can learn from more walkable, resilient urban modelsA realistic blueprint for building cities that prioritize people, not vehiclesThis conversation goes far beyond traffic jams and tailpipe emissions—it's about the future of freedom, equity, and the way we design our lives.
On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Andrea Ross, Business Advisor & Executive Coach for Travel Entrepreneurs, all about what it takes to build a successful business in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry. She explains why focusing on enterprise value and enterprise health is hugely important and why you should not only know what success means to you, but also know how to track it. We also dive into the three key areas that businesses should focus on: financials, process and procedures, and their team. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Andrea built a successful travel and tourism business in Southeast Asia by bootstrapping a bed and breakfast, launching a tour company, and ultimately scaling operations across several countries Why business owners must create their own vision and business model What enterprise value and enterprise health mean for travel businesses, and why focusing on these is essential for day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability How business owners can assess the health of their company, build a roadmap for growth, and differentiate between working on what's urgent versus what's important Why financials, processes and procedures, and team development are the three most common areas where travel businesses should focus to improve their enterprise health How developing strong leadership, empowering team members, and building the right organizational structure can give owners more freedom and drive business success What steps Andrea recommends for business owners who want to understand their financials better, even if numbers aren't their strong suit, and how to leverage resources and networks to build financial literacy Core Success Principles in the Travel and Tour Industry One of the biggest challenges Andrea highlights is the sheer variety of business models in travel and tourism. With tour operators, DMOs, DMCs, and FITs, each with unique structures, founders are often left to chart their own course. Overarching business principles still apply: passion, dedication, clear vision, and hard work are the fuel for any successful enterprise—regardless of geography or sector. Knowing your market, defining your unique value, and setting clear, achievable goals are all foundational. Andrea encourages business owners to continually ask: “What does success look like for me, and how am I tracking that?” Treat Your Business as an Asset A recurring pitfall is failing to view your business as the major asset it is. Many travel business owners pour years of effort and substantial financial resources into their companies, but neglect to plan for the long game. They're not running their organization so it can be handed over, acquired, or at least run independently of their daily presence. Andrea advocates setting a clear vision to build flexibility and freedom into the business. Whether your goal is acquisition, succession, more time to travel, or simply reducing burnout, only a defined destination can chart the course. And, critically, this vision should evolve with you. Three Pillars of a Healthy Travel Business Andrea identifies three areas where travel businesses most often need shoring up: Financials: Clean, timely reporting, a growth pro forma, and cash flow planning are essential, especially in an industry marked by seasonality and complexity. Processes & Procedures: Too many companies operate with critical knowledge trapped in someone's head. Andrea recommends mapping your customer journey and using tools (like Tango AI) to document workflows, templates, and best practices so anyone can step in when needed. The Team: Your people determine your company's fate. Leaders have to empower teams, develop leadership so urgent problems aren't always landing on their plate. As Andrea says, “work on what's important, not urgent”. Step back from daily fires and focus on what matters for long-term health. Set a vision, track progress, and work on big picture issues rather than constant firefighting.

Ghazenfer Mansoor is the CEO of Technology Rivers, a Virginia-based firm that helps startups and healthcare organizations build compliant, AI-powered software through a structured product strategy approach. Under his leadership, the company has developed nearly 60 apps across industries, with a focus on healthcare and AI-driven productivity. Originally from Pakistan, Ghazenfer's early adoption of emerging technologies such as Java led to a career in the US, pioneering roles in mobile app development, and eventually founding Technology Rivers. He is also the author of Beyond the Download, where he shares practical strategies for app growth and innovation. In this episode… Staying ahead in a fast-changing tech world is no easy feat, especially when innovation often outpaces the ability to keep up. What does it take to transition from humble beginnings to making a real impact in the modern tech landscape? And with AI revolutionizing industries at breakneck speed, how do today's leaders prepare themselves and their teams for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead? Ghazenfer Mansoor tackled these challenges head-on by embracing emerging trends before they hit the mainstream. Growing up in poverty in Pakistan, Ghazenfer leveraged unique educational opportunities to build a foundation in computers, then differentiated himself by mastering Java just as it was becoming a market disruptor. This decision not only opened doors to a career in the US during the dot-com boom but also allowed him to pivot successfully into mobile app development before the smartphone era exploded. Through lessons learned from his first startup, he pivoted to founding Technology Rivers, helping startups, especially in healthcare, develop compliant, AI-powered software. Currently, Ghazenfer focuses on leveraging AI tools to increase productivity tenfold, ensuring his team stays ahead by integrating the latest technologies into every layer of their workflow. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Ghazenfer Mansoor, CEO of Technology Rivers, about building a future-proof career in technology. Ghazenfer shares strategies for spotting emerging trends, integrating AI into technical and non-technical roles, and differentiating yourself in a competitive marketplace. He also explores continuous learning, productivity, and creating apps that users truly love and keep.

Wedding professionals pour their hearts into creating flawless celebrations for their clients, yet many overlook one critical detail—their own financial futures. In this eye-opening episode, Matt Mitchell, Master Certified Wedding Planner, Certified Educator, and founder of The Event Ledger, joins Krisy Thomas, COO of the CWP Society, to share how wedding planners can build lasting financial security while continuing to run thriving businesses.Matt brings a rare dual perspective—over 12 years in high-level financial planning combined with eight years of firsthand experience running his own wedding planning company. This blend allows him to speak directly to both the creative passion and the financial realities of our industry. As he wisely points out, “We anticipate everything that could go wrong for our clients, but most of us don't give that same level of preparation to our own future selves.”Together, Krisy and Matt walk through practical steps that wedding professionals can take today, starting with the essentials: building personal and business emergency funds. Matt recommends automating just 5% from each client payment—a simple action that compounds dramatically over time. “You'll hardly notice that 5% missing today, but your future self will thank you in a massive way,” he explains.From there, the conversation reframes retirement planning as an act of empowerment—“paying your future self.” Rather than seeing retirement as stopping work altogether, Matt encourages planners to view it as buying freedom: the freedom to choose how, when, and even if you want to work down the road.For those feeling overwhelmed or behind, the episode offers both encouragement and strategy. Open a dedicated account, set up small automated transfers, and schedule quarterly “CEO time” to track your progress. Matt's parting challenge resonates deeply: “Treat your future self like a VIP client. Give them the same attention, intentionality, and care you pour into planning perfect weddings.”onality, and care you pour into planning perfect weddings."Connect with Matt and learn more about financial services specifically designed for wedding professionals at TheEventLedger.com or on social media @TheEventLedger.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety

In this episode of the Mid-Life Men Podcast, I sit down with career strategist Mike Dwyer to tackle one of the biggest midlife challenges: how to stay relevant, employable, and fulfilled in a world of shifting technology, corporate upheaval, and age bias. Mike brings decades of experience helping men navigate uncertainty, and he shares practical strategies for fighting back against the forces that can leave midlife professionals feeling sidelined. We explore: Why so many seasoned professionals feel “chewed up” by shifting workplaces, automation, and cost-cutting.How to stay current without chasing every new tool or trend.The power of “topical networking” and how to use it to open unexpected doors.Building a “personal board” of allies who can keep you accountable, stretch your thinking, and stop you from going it alone.How to spot your next chapter, whether it's a “senior encore” role, a reinvention, or simply doing what you do best in a new setting.Why humility and intentionality matter when facing career transitions.The mental health benefits of taking action, experimenting, and refusing to battle through midlife career changes in silence.Mike's insights are honest, hopeful, and highly practical. If you've been worried about staying relevant in the workplace, frustrated by endless applications that go nowhere, or wondering what comes next in your working life, this conversation will give you clarity, strategies, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Together, they discuss why prioritizing income over duration is the key theme in today's bond markets, and how investors can uncover opportunities across geographies and asset classes.

Jess Fenton dissolves the old money paradigm and opens the field for women who are ready to build wealth as a spiritual inheritance.We go beneath the surface of “money mindset” to the real fracture: why we were conditioned to start from zero at 18, how this broke our sense of family wealth and safety, and why women learned to survive by becoming hyper-competent — but at the cost of ease, rest, and overflow.Jess transmits the principles of financial sovereignty and legacy creation:✨ Paying yourself first — anchoring safety in your own field, not in the market's permission✨ Breaking the collective ceiling — the invisible spell that keeps women capped at “acceptable” income levels✨ Future-self pricing — how to design your business and wealth model around the passive income that guarantees freedom✨ The power of high prices — why charging less fractures the field, while charging more liberates not only you but your lineageThis isn't about survival, hustle, or market rates. This is about claiming your number — the amount your future self requires to thrive, provide, and live in overflow — and structuring your business as a vessel for that destiny.If you've ever felt locked at a certain income, repeating cycles of “enough but never overflow,” this episode initiates you into the realm of limitless earning, feminine safety, and legacy wealth.Family fracturing at 18 created false independence and lifelong financial insecurityTrue safety comes from passive income and overflow, not resilience in survival modeThe “income ceiling” is collective conditioning — not your truthPricing is prophecy: set it from your future freedom, not today's market limitsUndercharging is a form of collective bondage — high pricing is liberationFollow Jess on Instagram @goinwardSubscribe to the podcast for transmissions on wealth, spirituality, and visibilityShare this episode with a woman who is ready to step into spiritual millionaire sovereignty
