Filtering reality can feel like focus or protection, but over time, it influences judgment, confidence, and the quality of decisions being made. Grounded in real client conversations, business experience, and thousands of long-form discussions, this episode explores how people handle uncomfortable information under pressure. The emphasis is not on mindset slogans or motivation, but on awareness, discipline, and long-term consistency. Listen carefully.

This is one of those talks that feels like two industry vets standing at the whiteboard, talking honestly about what is working, what is changing, and where the real opportunities are.Clint and I dig into the trends he is seeing across the insurance landscape, especially around MGAs and why they continue to play such a critical role in today's market. We talk about speed, specialization, and why MGAs are not just filling gaps, but actively shaping the future of distribution.From there,  how agencies, MGAs, and carriers can think about AI as a tool to enhance relationships, not replace them. The conversation then turns to Clint's newest chapter and his work with FAIR. We talk about what FAIR is building, why it matters, and how it is creating real opportunity in the insurance space. This is not just another product. It is a business model that opens up meaningful new revenue streams while staying aligned with transparency and customer experience.What stood out most in this conversation is Clint's perspective on timing. The industry is changing fast, but the fundamentals still matter. Relationships. Trust. Doing right by the client. FAIR feels like one of those companies that understands both sides of that equation.If you are an agency owner, producer, MGA leader, or anyone looking to add smart, sustainable growth to your business, this episode is worth your time.Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and join us in Insurance Town for a conversation about trends, technology, and finding opportunity in a changing market.Welcome back to town.Sponsors:Smart Choice- the Fastest growing agency Network hands downMAV- Ditch the Call center and Hire Mav the AI solution to engaging your clients Canopy Connect - The One Click Solution to getting dec pages you need to quote your clients.

    Your clients' budgets absorbed increases they never saw coming this year. A healthcare premium that jumped several hundred dollars per month. Utility bills up $50 at peak usage. Return-to-office mandates that added childcare costs, gas expenses, and convenience spending they didn't budget for. Buy now, pay later options at grocery checkouts, not just for wants but for food.When your clients sit down with you, they're financially stressed. And they're also cautiously pessimistic, worried about what's next, and hoping they can just stay stable. This is the reality of financial coaching in 2026, and it's why the gap between need and demand matters more than most coaches want to admit.This episode looks at being a financial coach in 2026 from three perspectives. First, the concrete ways rising costs are squeezing your clients' household budgets right now. Second, the role you play in cutting through their worry with clarity and steadying energy instead of more information. And third, how all of this shapes your business strategy, your messaging, and the way you position your work when clients aren't buying on "maybe this could help."If you've wondered why your ideal clients aren't reaching out even when they clearly need help, or if you've felt the tension between knowing coaches are needed and watching people hesitate to hire you, this episode will help you see what's actually happening and how to meet this moment with courage and strategic clarity.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:People need financial coaches more than ever, but need doesn't equal demand. Just because someone is struggling doesn't mean they're actively seeking your solution. And that means that how you talk about your work matters more than ever.Healthcare premiums increased significantly for many families in 2026. When you combine that with utility rate hikes and return-to-office costs, clients are absorbing hundreds of dollars in monthly budget increases they didn't plan for.Shift from selling to steadying. Right now, people aren't buying on "maybe this could help." They're saying yes when the outcome is crystal clear and the commitment feels manageable.One in four Americans now uses buy now, pay later for groceries. This isn't about luxuries anymore. It's a signal of how tight household cashflow has become, and it's creating unnecessary chaos in people's budgets.Return-to-office mandates don't just increase commute costs. They ripple into childcare, eating out, work clothes, and spending more for convenience because flexibility at home disappears.75% of our own small business vendors raised their rates in 2025. Business owners are navigating the same financial squeeze as clients, which means your financial coaching mind is your greatest asset in running your business strategically.Being a financial coach in 2026 takes courage. You need to speak sincerely and clearly about how you help people, make faster business decisions, and lead by example in uncertain times.

After high school, he nearly joined the Air Force, worked at McDonald's, and enrolled at community college to explore paths—from business and HVAC to computer science. Hospital volunteering felt different. He became a phlebotomist, considered PA school, and then realized the reasons drawing him to PA actually pointed to becoming a physician—with a strong pull toward surgery.It wasn't linear. Early C's in science and a six-year undergraduate path (business transfer to UMBC biology with honors in philosophy) forced him to confront the “not a science person” label. With time, maturity, and motivation, he turned it around, took two gap years for research and service, leaned heavily on YouTube guidance, and sought mentors who helped shape his essays and application strategy.Ryland shares why he aimed for a one-and-done application, how virtual interviews during COVID made that possible, and what it felt like to see his first interview invite. He reflects on serving on Brown's admissions committee, what authentic stories communicate beyond metrics, and why getting personal matters. Plus, a candid discussion on AI's impact on interviews and training, the perverse incentives of rankings, and his message to premeds: your timeline is your own—and you can do this.What You'll Learn:- How to pivot after early C's and reframe the “not a science person” myth- Deciding PA vs MD by clarifying what truly draws you to patient care- Using community college, gap years, and mentoring to strengthen your application- What admissions values beyond MCAT and GPA—and why authenticity matters- How AI and rankings may shape interviews and the premed landscape

    The Daily Boost | Coaching You Need. Success You Deserve.

    Trying to separate your work from your life? That might be the problem. For business owners and ambitious professionals, the old model of balance doesn't work anymore. The math doesn't lie, and neither does your exhaustion from trying to split yourself in two. What if you could focus on what matters most and let everything else fall into place? I'm sharing the mathematical formula that proves you don't need more hours in the day. You need better focus on the right hours. The 64-4 rule will change how you think about your time forever. Featured Story I walked into the gym this morning and nearly turned around. For three weeks over the holidays, it was me and maybe three other people. Peaceful. Easy. Today? Looked like 3,000 people showed up. The New Year's crowd is back. But instead of getting annoyed, I realized something. This is exactly what happens when people try to force balance into their lives. They show up hard for three weeks, burn out, and disappear. They're trying to separate their fitness from their life instead of making it part of how they live. That's when it hit me. The same thing happens with work and life balance. We're asking the wrong question. Important Points If you're a business owner, there is no separation between life and business. That's not a problem. That's freedom. The 80-20 rule proves that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your actions. Now do the math on that again. When you focus just 4-20% of your day on what matters most to you, the other 64-80% takes care of itself. Math. Memorable Quotes "Life is business. Business is life. That's called freedom, and it's exactly what you signed up for when you started." "If you could do more of what you love to do, life would be better. If you did more of what you hate, it wouldn't." "Eighty percent of your day is dictated by the smallest part of your focus. Use that to your advantage, not against it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify your passion zones. List the things you actually want to do more of. Money, relationships, fitness, whatever. Focus just 4-20% of your day on those passion zones. That's the smallest investment for the biggest return possible. Let the rest of your day take care of itself. When you nail the important stuff, everything else falls into place.

    Season of All Seasons: Jared Gallagher's 212" Double Drop-Tine Giant | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 457 Jared Gallagher joins the show to share the unbelievable story of his 212-inch Missouri giant, a buck so rare it features massive double drop-tines measuring nearly 7 inches each. As a self-described "diehard" hunter who started a construction business just to spend more time in the woods, Jared breaks down the extreme persistence required to track a world-class deer that traveled over two miles between properties. From the emotional rollercoaster of jumping the buck in the early season to the high-stakes "buck alert" that pulled him off a job site on November 3rd, this episode is a masterclass in reading the wind, leveraging mock scrapes, and knowing when to make a move. Beyond the kill, Jared, Matt, and Tim dive into the tactical side of big buck success, discussing the "game-changing" impact of radish food plots and the hidden risks of cell camera radio frequencies. They explore the fascinating "Christmas morning" feeling of checking SD cards and the undeniable importance of having an understanding family when chasing "regional celebrity" status in the whitetail world. Whether you're a public land grinder or a small-parcel manager, Jared's story of a 40-inch year-over-year jump in antler growth will give every hunter hope for the next season. 03:44 – Meeting Jared Gallagher: The Man Behind the 212" Missouri Giant 05:17 – The "Diehard" Lifestyle: Hunting 24/7 and Starting a Business to Hunt 06:27 – Food Plot Secrets: Why Radishes are a "Game Changer" for Early Season 10:42 – A Family Season: Jared's 14-Year-Old Daughter's Success with a Crossbow 13:13 – First Contact: The October 5th Cell Cam Photo That Changed Everything 21:40 – The "You're Fired" Moment: Finding Out the Buck is Traveling 2+ Miles 24:14 – The Tool Bag Drop: A 10:30 AM "Buck Alert" Pulls Jared Off the Job 28:41 – 11:30 AM Patterns: Missing the Giant Three Days in a Row 33:07 – The Big Oak Move: Switching Stands for a 35-Yard Chip Shot 42:13 – 40 Inches of Growth: Comparing Last Year's 170" Frame to 212" 46:33 – Cell Cam Science: Do Radio Frequencies Spook Mature Bucks? 54:35 – The Rat Pack: Welcoming New Members to the 100% Wild Community Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group : / n73gskjt7bfb2ngc Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

    In this episode, Travis talks with serial entrepreneur and private equity operator Eddie Wilson, known as the “King of Exits” for owning more than 140 companies and successfully exiting over 100 of them. Eddie breaks down how he went from corporate media to running a 30‑company portfolio, created the Empire Operating System, and co-built the Aspire Tour, the nation's largest business event series.​ On this episode we talk about: How Eddie went from third‑generation real estate kid and corporate TV/radio executive to starting an ad agency, exiting it, and then suddenly helping operate a portfolio of 30+ companies The Foot Locker “measure-the-feet” story, how it inspired his Brick concept, and how extreme focus on one core metric evolved into the Empire Operating System now used across thousands of companies​​ Scaling from 30 to 86 portfolio companies, then selling 76 of them in a single year to ~20 different buyers—while only owning a minority stake and learning how to systematize exits Why he and Andrew Kroeze built Aspire Tour as a front-end community and lead engine for financial services (tax, insurance, wealth) and how they fill arenas with speakers like David Goggins, Gary Vee, and Shark Tank sharks while often losing money on the event itself​ Eddie's deeper “why” behind all of it—his Impact Others nonprofit that feeds and educates ~5,300 kids a day in 100+ countries and runs massive projects like providing Christmas morning for 18,000+ children worldwide​​ Top 3 Takeaways Systems are the only way to scale and exit repeatedly; Eddie's Empire Operating System grew out of real portfolio pain and now focuses each company around a single “brick” metric that drives everything else. Big, sexy front-end plays like Aspire are often loss leaders—what matters is the lifetime value created when you plug those attendees into masterminds, tax strategy, insurance, and other high-value services. Money alone gets boring; tying business growth to a bigger mission—like feeding thousands of kids daily through Impact Others—creates the kind of purpose that keeps you building even after you could retire. Notable Quotes “I realized I could do what I do—but at scale.” “Aspire is really just aggregation. It's the community that lets us serve people with financial services long after the event ends.” “Success without impact left me empty; Impact Others is what keeps me going.” Connect with Eddie Wilson: Personal site & bio: https://officialew.com​ Operating system: https://empireom.com​ Business tour (Aspire): https://aspiretour.com​ Nonprofit: https://impactothers.com  ✖️✖️✖️✖️

    When clients feel understood, everything gets easier. When they don't, even the best advice falls flat. In this solo episode, I break down three lessons we can borrow from good doctors that make a huge difference in your meetings as an advisor.Just like in medicine, the best advisors don't rush to solutions. They slow down, ask better questions, and explain things in a way people can actually follow. I'll walk through why diagnosing before you prescribe matters, how your “bedside manner” shows up in financial conversations, and why a real plan is something you build with clients over time—not something you hand them once and hope for the best.If you've ever left a meeting thinking, “I know I gave them good advice, so why didn't it land?” these three simple ideas will help you connect better, simplify your process, and create a better experience for every person you serve.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…1.) Diagnose Before You PrescribeClients don't want another advisor pushing their “favorite product.” They want someone who seeks to understand—who asks layered questions, listens deeply, and helps both spouses feel heard. This is the foundation of trust and the secret behind higher conversions.2.) Simplify the Complex with Better Bedside MannerPlanning jargon and 80-page printouts don't impress clients—they overwhelm them. The advisors who win are the ones who translate complexity into simple, relatable frameworks and make clients feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.3.) Build a Planning Journey, Not a One-Time PlanDelivering a plan is not the finish line, it's the starting line. When you walk clients through decisions one step at a time and commit to ongoing planning, you avoid overwhelm, deepen your relationship, and increase lifetime value.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/150FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

    On today's episode, Kara welcomes Betsy Fore, author of the bestselling book Built on Purpose: Discover Your Deep Inner Why and Manifest the Business of Your Dreams. Betsy is a two-time founder, former CEO, investor, and community builder whose work spans consumer innovation, Indigenous entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven leadership.Before becoming an investor, Betsy founded WonderWoof and co-founded Tiny Organics, scaling both into multimillion-dollar companies rooted in solving deeply personal problems. She is also the Co-Founder of Natives Rising, now the largest community of Indigenous technologists and founders, and today serves as Founding Partner of Velveteen Ventures, investing in solutions that will improve life for the next seven generations.In Built on Purpose, Betsy reveals the inner framework behind her own journey — from showing up five times at Mind Candy with no appointment, to rebuilding her life after a near-fatal accident, to pitching on Shark Tank, to helping founders uncover their “Deep Inner Why.” She blends neuroscience, purpose, and practical tools to show how creators and leaders can manifest the businesses and lives they feel called to build.In this episode, Betsy opens up about the experiences that shaped her, the science behind manifestation, and why the most successful founders are also the most aligned. We discuss how to uncover your Deep Inner Why, how to turn intuition into action, what her Indigenous values taught her about leadership, and why purpose isn't just personal — it's a business strategy. She also shares how motherhood, community, and resilience continue to drive her work and her investments.Whether you're a founder, a leader, or someone searching for deeper clarity in your work, this conversation is packed with wisdom, insight, and inspiration.

    MSP Cybersecurity: Microsoft Teams Enhances Security Features for Managed Service Providers

    Microsoft has announced significant changes to its Teams platform, set to take effect on January 12, 2026. The platform will automatically enhance messaging security by blocking risky files and scanning shared links for potential phishing threats. This proactive measure aims to protect organizations, particularly smaller ones without dedicated security teams, from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. IT administrators will have the opportunity to review and adjust these settings prior to implementation, ensuring a smoother transition to the new security measures.In addition to the Teams update, Microsoft has decided to retract its previously announced limit on bulk email recipients for Exchange Online, following customer feedback indicating that such restrictions would create operational challenges. The company will maintain existing limits while seeking less disruptive solutions to enhance email security. Furthermore, Microsoft has acquired the startup Osmos to bolster its Microsoft Fabric platform with autonomous data engineering capabilities, aiming to automate data preparation and reduce the manual workload for IT teams.The episode also highlights the rapid growth of Ninja One, which reported a 70% year-over-year increase in annual recurring revenue, surpassing $500 million. This growth positions Ninja One as a strong competitor in the remote monitoring and management market, particularly as managed service providers (MSPs) seek to consolidate tools to improve operational efficiency. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accountability and risk management as MSPs navigate the complexities of tool consolidation and automation.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the need for clear communication and governance in the face of increasing automation and vendor-driven changes. As Microsoft centralizes control over security and data management, MSPs must adapt by managing client expectations and pricing for the support burden that comes with these automated solutions. The evolving landscape necessitates a proactive approach to risk management, ensuring that MSPs are prepared to address client concerns and operational challenges effectively. Four things to know today 00:00 CompTIA Signals Confidence for 2026 as NinjaOne's Growth Highlights MSP Push to Simplify Operations05:12 Microsoft Tightens Defaults and Expands Automation Across Teams, Exchange, and Fabric09:22 Dell Reverses Course on Laptop Branding, Reintroducing XPS to Reduce Confusion and Reset Its AI PC Strategy11:53 Artificial Analysis Overhauls AI Benchmarks to Focus on Real-World Work, Lowering Scores and Raising Enterprise Expectations This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://scalepad.com/dave/

Bharath joins Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello to break down why clinical R&D timelines often slip for reasons that have little to do with model performance. Rather, delays compound when data moves across fragmented systems, teams rely on slow handoffs, and validation requirements turn minor adjustments into major cycle-time hits. He walks through where decision-making slows from data capture through database lock, and what it takes to accelerate workflows without replacing a validated environment.
