Welcome to Part 2 of one of the most important and personal episodes of Everyone's Talkin' Money. In Part 1, we exposed the damaging belief that your self-worth is tied to your net worth—and now, it's time to do something about it. In this episode, I walk you through my four-part Separation Process—a framework to help you shift from financial shame to clarity, resilience, and empowerment. You'll learn how to rewire the way you see yourself in relation to money, so you can stop letting your bank balance dictate your self-esteem and finally take back your financial power. You'll walk away with: The Separation Process:Step 1 – Separate the Math from the Meaning. Learn how to treat your finances as data—not a moral scorecard—so you can make money decisions without shame. Step 2 – Inventory Your Non-Financial Value. Make a list of 10 ways you add value to the world that have nothing to do with money—and keep it close for tough days. Step 3 – Redefine Success on Your Terms. Ditch society's hustle metric and reimagine what success looks like when it aligns with your values. Step 4 – Practice Compassionate Reality. Handle financial challenges with truth and grace, so you're solving problems—not attacking your own self-worth. Plus: The Worth Resume – a powerful tool to track the value you bring to the world that's not on a spreadsheet Self-Worth Buffers – five daily practices that build emotional resilience and protect your identity from financial stress Real-Life Scenarios – practical scripts and strategies for common situations where self-worth and money get tangled: We will discuss: Social comparison on Instagram Financial setbacks or mistakes (like missed payments) Saying “no” to spending you can't afford Having hard money convos with partners or family Even celebrating financial wins without letting them define you This episode is your emotional toolkit for making money decisions from strength, not shame.

Navigating Non-Competes and Sensitive Transitions Without Losing the Recruit or Your Integrity

What do you do when a recruit suddenly brings up a non-compete, emotional loyalty, or fear around leaving their current role? This is one of the trickiest moments in recruiting, and how you handle it will either build trust or break it. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the posture, language, and mindset shifts that will help you navigate sensitive transitions with professionalism and integrity. This isn't about pushing people over the line, it's about becoming the kind of leader people feel safe following. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most leaders freeze when a recruit mentions a non-compete or emotional hesitation. [01:00] Acknowledge the Weight – Before anything else, validate what they're feeling. Don't dismiss it. [01:30] Lead With Empathy – A simple phrase: “Let's slow down and walk through this the right way.” [02:00] Stay in Your Lane – Don't give legal advice. Offer to connect them with a trusted attorney. [02:30] The Professional Position – Show maturity by prioritizing their well-being over your urgency. [03:30] Emotional Loyalty Is Real – Sometimes it's not legal, it's personal. Help them reframe it without shame. [04:00] Long-Term Perspective – Ask: “Ten years from now, what do you want to be proud of?” [05:00] Go Slow to Go Deep – Allow them the time they need. No pressure. Just partnership. [05:30] Build the Right Reputation – Integrity attracts. Your brand is built in moments like this. Key Takeaways Validate Their Fear – Just because you think it's minor doesn't mean it doesn't feel major to them. Offer Support, Not Solutions – Be a guide, not a legal expert. Connect them to the right help. Honor Their Loyalty – Don't fight it. Use it as a mirror of their values and a reason to lead them well. Ask Bigger Questions – Help them think long-term. Align the next move with their vision, not their fear. Integrity Is Your Advantage – Leaders who slow down and protect the recruit build brands that attract. You don't need to push to win. You just need to walk with people in the moments that matter. Handle transitions with care, and you won't just close more recruits, you'll become a leader worth following.

In the final installment of our 3-part estate planning series, we dive into one of the most overlooked—but critically important—aspects of planning: protecting your heirs' inheritance. It's not enough to simply leave assets to your loved ones. Without proper planning, those assets could be exposed to divorce, lawsuits, creditors, or mismanagement. We'll explore how using trusts can provide long-term protection and flexibility, and why leaving assets outright may be a costly mistake. You'll learn how to: Safeguard inheritances from a beneficiary's divorce or personal liabilities Provide for special needs or disabled heirs without jeopardizing government benefits Handle contingency planning, including what happens if a beneficiary predeceases you Protect minor children using trusts instead of relying on court-supervised guardianships We also highlight common mistakes—like failing to update your estate plan after major life events—and share practical steps to avoid them. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms.

If there's one key piece of advice I'd give to anyone in business or entrepreneurship, it's to beware of the tyranny of the now—the intense pressure of immediate problems like a lost contract, a team member leaving, or an unexpected crisis. These challenges feel overwhelming in the moment, but they are temporary. Don't let short-term pain lead to emotional decisions that could harm your long-term vision. Instead, stay focused on why you started—your original dream, belief, and purpose. The present will pass, but your future is still in your hands. Handle the moment, but don't let it define you.

3 Powerful Ways to Handle the “I’m In a Meeting!” Objection (Ask Jeb)

Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

If you're doing any kind of cold calling or prospecting, you'll eventually hear this objection: "I'm in a meeting right now." Paul Wise, a heavy cold caller from Normandy, France targets product managers at software companies and says that nine times out of ten when he gets a decision-maker on the phone, they claim to be "in a meeting." Three Ways to Handle the "I'm in a Meeting" Prospecting Objection As I explained to Paul, how you respond in that moment can make or break your opportunity to move forward. First, let's acknowledge something important: If someone is genuinely in the middle of an important meeting, they typically don't answer calls from unknown numbers. The fact that they picked up your call suggests they may not be as unavailable as they claim. That said, they might be between meetings, heading into a meeting, or simply using this as a brush-off technique. Regardless of their true situation, you need an objection handling strategy. Based on my conversation with Paul, here are three effective approaches to handle this common situation: Approach #1: The Quick Pitch Strategy This is what Paul had been doing—when he gets someone on the phone who says they're in a meeting, he delivers his DMX (Decision Maker Express) pitch as quickly as possible, then tries to secure a meeting. Paul mentioned this sometimes works for him. He gets the meeting scheduled, then works hard to ensure they show up by engaging with them on LinkedIn, sending follow-up emails, and basically "surrounding" them with touch points. The upside: You've got them on the line, so why not take your shot? The downside: Rushing through your pitch can make you sound desperate and reduce your effectiveness. When to use it: If you have a high-energy personality and can deliver a compelling, concise pitch without sounding rushed, this approach can work. It's especially effective if you have a solid follow-up strategy to ensure they show up to the meeting. Approach #2: The Acknowledge and Pivot Strategy Instead of trying to pitch someone who's claimed to be busy, simply acknowledge their situation and pivot directly to scheduling: "I totally expected you to be in a meeting and not able to talk. That's exactly why I called—to find a time that's more convenient for you. Why don't I send you a meeting invite for Thursday at 2:00, and then we can get together when you do have time to talk?" This approach demonstrates respect for their time while simultaneously accomplishing your objective of setting an appointment. What happens next reveals a lot: If they agree to the meeting, you've accomplished your goal without the rushed pitch. If they ask, "Who are you again?" they're actually signaling they have more time than they initially let on. If they say they're not available Thursday, they're engaging in a scheduling conversation—which means they're interested enough to find an alternative time. When to use it: This works particularly well when you sense the prospect is genuinely busy but might be interested with the right approach. It's respectful, professional, and surprisingly effective. Approach #3: The Non-Complementary Behavior Strategy This is my personal favorite because it uses psychology to your advantage. When the prospect answers with high energy, saying they're busy or in a meeting, don't match their energy. Instead, deliberately slow down and use a calm, relaxed tone: "Totally get that. I figured you would be busy. Look, I only have two questions." Then—and this is critical—be quiet. Let the silence do the work. If they truly have no time, they'll hang up. But most won't. Instead, they'll likely say something like, "Okay, but go fast." Now you need to ask a question that gets them engaged—something they can easily answer that reveals qualification information: "How many data points are you connected to in your current configuration?" The magic happens in what follows:

Send us a textRISKYSometimes you gotta say, “What the Fuck” to research, make your move. This week Season 14's penultimate 1x1 is co-host Ryan's pick: RISKY BUSINESS (1983). His reason: TGTPTU normally pairs filmographies of a single director or actor, and the writer-director on this film was so triggered by the experience of having his written, shot, and edited original ending replaced in the final cut that he never directed another film again… or at least not until his second film in 1990 (WTF, Ryan?).  This film that would go on to become part of 1980s iconography by first-time director Paul Brickman, who had previously written the Michael Pressman-directed The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977) and the Jonathan Demme-directed Handle with Care (1977) and would later be one of three credited writers on Clint Eastwood's True Crime (alternately known as Speed Zoo) (1999), Risky Business as dark teen comedy and potential Reagon-era satire stars a number of early roles by actors who'd become comedy stars of the 1980s, including as the protagonist Joel's fellow yuppie North Shore friends and entrepreneuring high school seniors in their first film appearances Curtis Armstrong (also known as Booger in the 1980s) and Bronson Pinchot (aka Balki in the 80s). It costars Rebecca De Mornay (later in the 90s known for her roles as a terrible nanny and as Milady de Winter) as the business-savvy prostitute, and has an early movie appearance by Joey Pants (known in the late-90s for taking the blue pill, Ralphie Cifaretto in the 00s, and a Bad Boy 4 life) as Guido the pimp.   Oh, and it's also the first time that actor born Thomas Mapother IV, better known later in life by his stage name Tom Cruise, stars in the leading role in a film (but not the first time he danced in his underwear or kissed a female person, if DVD commentary tracks are to be believed).  Behind the camera, you have two cinematographers: Eastwood's 70s and early-80s collaborator Bruce Surtees as well as regular Hollywood comedy lenser Reynaldo Villalobos. Pod-favorite Tangerine Dream scores. And the film scores big with first watches by host Tom and guest host Jack and with the Gen X'ers Ken and Ryan.   It's a wild ride, so mind your parking brake. In this episode Ryan explains the economic milieu behind the 80's yuppie culture to the two young hosts while drawing comparisons to American Psycho (2000); the two Zoomers discover how to shorten future episodes; and Broom Hilda's creator, whose life strangely overlaps with Ken's past and present, drops by studio.  Our podcast is The Good, The Pod, and The Ugly. We deal in human fulfillment. We grossed over eight thousand listeners in one night.

In the evening of the day Jesus had appeared to Mary Magdalene, the two who had returned from Emmaus were telling how they had seen Jesus; and at that moment he appeared in the midst of the group, saying: “Peace be unto you.” The disciples were terrified and frightened, thinking they saw a spirit. But Jesus showed them his hands and the wound in his side, and said to them: “Why are ye troubled and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that is I myself. Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.” And they were glad, knowing he was the Lord. Jesus said to them: “Peace be unto you. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” Then Jesus addressed the disciples, saying to them: “Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.”

How to Handle Decision Deferment Objections (Money Monday)

Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

There is a big challenge in today's marketplace that's popping up left and right for sales professionals—Decision Deferment Objections. If you're running into stakeholders who say, “Let's just hold off a bit,” “We need more time,” or “We want to wait until the market settles,” then we're going to dive into why this is happening and, more importantly, how you can handle these sales objections with confidence and skill. Turbulent Times Breed Buyer Fear The market is swinging like a pendulum on steroids, and it's making everyone skittish. You've got tariffs, trade wars, and a spike in economic uncertainty. Buyers read The Wall Street Journal or check their news feeds, and the headlines scream “Turmoil!” They panic. So they defer decisions, walk away from deals, or play the “wait and see” game. Decision deferment objections are a natural consequence of fear. People want to avoid making the wrong move. It's easier to hit the pause button than to commit to something they're not 100% sure about. That fear, in many ways, is irrational. But it's a brick wall that will shut down your deal if you let it. So how do you avoid letting hesitation, stalling, and decision deferment kill your deals during market uncertainty? It starts with a fundamental truth: to succeed in this environment, you must sell better. Because when people are fearful, indecisive, or uncertain, how you sell matters far more than what you sell. Why Buyers Pull Back and Defer Decisions In uncertain and volatile times, mistakes come with severe penalties. A stakeholder who chooses the wrong vendor, invests in the wrong technology, or commits resources too soon might put their entire business or career at risk. So they freeze. They put it off. They say, “We'll need a little more time to think about it,” or “We need to run the numbers again,” or “Let me talk to my boss.” If you haven't uncovered real fears, addressed them, and methodically advanced the deal, you'll hit a wall of deferment decision objections at maximum force. That's why I often sound like a broken record—but repetition is the mother of skill. The basic steps to closing in an uncertain market are fundamental: Execute your sales process flawlessly Consistently ask for micro-commitments to advance the sale Present a compelling, airtight case for change Ask your stakeholders to make a decision confidently and without hesitation Handle objections with empathy Closing Is Not a Single Moment in Time A lot of sales reps treat the close as one magic moment—like flicking a switch. But in reality, closing is a series of micro-commitments that happen throughout the sales process. Every time you get a commitment to a next step, your buyer to leans in just a bit more, and you set the stage for a final “yes.” When times are normal, a halfway-decent rep can skip a few steps and still get deals across the finish line. But in a crisis or uncertain market, that sloppy approach falls apart. You must consistently get micro-commitments and keep advancing—because if you let the ball drop even once, you'll give your stakeholders an opening to stall or back out with objections like “We going to hold off,”  or “We're just going to stick with what we have until the economy gets better.” Tough Objections? Check Your Upstream Sales Process For this reason, if you are getting hammered at the close with brutal objections, it usually means you made mistakes earlier in the process. So instead of obsessing over how to wordsmith your objection rebuttals, you might need to re-examine how you qualified and sold from the get-go. Tough objections at the 11th hour are typically a symptom of an earlier problem. So, what do you do? Qualify better upfront—Are these the right prospects? Are you sure they have a budget, authority, need, and timeline? Is there a compelling reason for them to change? Ensure you're dealing with real decision makers—If you're stuck with “influencers” ...
