What if “wealth” wasn't about hitting some magic number in your bank account… but instead about clarity, cash flow, and confidence to live a life you never have to retire from?That's exactly what this week's guest, Brian Skrobonja, has helped thousands of high-net-worth entrepreneurs and business owners figure out over the last 30 years.Brian is a nationally recognized wealth advisor, a Forbes Top 10 podcast host, and the creator of the WealthSync Process—a system that goes way beyond rates of return to align your money with your life's bigger purpose.We dive deep into:Why most people define “wealth” the wrong wayHow to think about passive income beyond real estate or investmentsThe psychology of purpose after a business sale or big transitionThe tax blind spots that cost founders millions (and how to avoid them)If you're an entrepreneur who's built wealth, sold a business, or are staring down a transition—you cannot afford to miss this conversation.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:Wealth Isn't a Number — It's Purpose-Driven Most people chase net worth goals… but often end up miserable. Brian reframes wealth as “funding your purpose,” not just padding your account.Cash Flow is King Assets alone don't equal freedom. Everything should be measured against one question: “How does this affect cash flow?”The Myth of Retirement You can retire from a job—but you don't want to retire from life. Align your money with activities, goals, and impact that keep you engaged and alive.Tax Blind Spots that Burn Millions Business exits, 401Ks, and charitable giving are often mishandled. The difference between structuring a deal before or after signing could be millions saved.The WealthSync Process Brian's proprietary system ties together lifestyle goals, business exits, philanthropy, tax planning, and legacy so your money actually funds your life.TIME STAMPS:[00:00:00] Introduction – Why “clarity, confidence & cash flow” matter more than chasing returns.[00:03:10] The #1 money mistake most couples and founders make.[00:05:51] Brian's backstory: from Croatian family work ethic to building a financial legacy.[00:08:56] The mindset shift from working harder → building passive income.[00:10:38] Introducing the WealthSync Process: aligning money with purpose.[00:14:07] Why $10M net worth can still leave people miserable.[00:16:36] Helping founders after business exits: the “Monday after the sale” question.[00:23:58] CPA blind spots, charitable strategies, and avoiding tax disasters.[00:29:27] Assets to Income: how to make your money actually work for you.[00:31:27] Everything comes back to cash flow.[00:32:33] Build a life you don't have to retire from.In this episode, I sit down with nationally recognized wealth advisor Brian Skrobonja to break down why the traditional wealth path is broken, how passive income actually works, and why wealth isn't a number—it's about clarity, confidence, and cash flow.If you're planning a business exit, sitting on a tax-deferred fortune, or just want to create reliable cash flow—you need this conversation.

Discover what the retirement age should be, according to surveys. My earlier podcast to calculate how much you need to retire is here. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle. If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.

Paul asks Dan to share some of his experience with clients around annuities to help people see what's actually going on behind the scenes. Dan shares a story of a client who bought an annuity and was sold an income rider, believing this would help her have a consistent income for years. The payout of this product after the cost of the rider was $90 a month. Listen along as these advisors help you see how the language around these products is twisted to make you believe that you're getting returns or even wealth growth that isn't there.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the July retail sales print—strong nominally but essentially flat after inflation—and why consumer capacity to spend (healthier debt-to-income ratios and rising savings) is at odds with willingness to spend as sentiment softens. He explains how tariffs are likely to shift more costs from businesses to consumers in coming months, potentially weighing on Q4 sales and nudging inflation higher. Translating this to CRE, John expects more pressure on West Coast industrial (trade-exposed) while retail vacancies drift up from record lows, with grocery/necessity retail holding steadier than restaurants. Longer-term, he sees structural demand supported by millennial spending power, sizable boomer wealth, and improving transaction activity into late-2025/2026.

Ever feel like you're drowning in information but starving for wisdom? You've got endless tabs open, podcasts playing, books piling up—and yet when it comes time to make that big decision, your brain feels like scrambled eggs. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the number one reason entrepreneurs make bad decisions and how you can stop it. I'm talking about decision fatigue, information overload, and the chaos that comes from running on autopilot without creating space for clarity. I also share my simple but powerful 3-Day Clarity Quest framework, a process that's helped me (and many others) slow down, reset, and make better decisions that lead to more income, impact, and alignment.Here's the truth: your brain is a gold mine, but you can't dig out the treasure if it's buried under junk. Studies show entrepreneurs consume 34 gigabytes of info daily. The average person makes 35,000 decisions a day. And decision fatigue alone can decrease your brain's efficiency by 40%. No wonder so many people are stuck in hustle mode, making poor choices.But here's the kicker: clarity doesn't come from more hustling—it comes from space. That's why I retreat into the Montana backcountry with no cell service, no screens, and no distractions. Just nature, stillness, and a journal. That's where I developed the Clarity Quest framework, and it's what I want to share with you today.Here are some of the big takeaways:Clarity comes from stillness, not from grinding harder. Your best ideas live in the space between distractions.Day 1 is about detox and declutter. Shut off the noise. Journal out every thought. Delete the top three distractions holding you back.Day 2 is nature immersion and stillness. Spend hours outside. Hike, sit by water, meditate. Let your mind breathe and reset.Day 3 is harvest and action mapping. Review your insights. Create a simple, time-blocked game plan. And this is crucial: attach consequences to your commitments. Because consequences create commitment.Confusion costs cash. Clarity creates cash flow. When you're clear, your productivity and decision-making power skyrocket.I'm not saying you have to run off to Montana and poop in the woods to make better choices (though, hey, I recommend it). You can adapt this framework wherever you are. The key is creating intentional space, giving your brain a reset, and approaching life and business decisions with clarity—not chaos.If you've been overwhelmed, second-guessing, or stuck on autopilot, this episode will be a game-changer. Do the 3-Day Clarity Quest, and you'll start making decisions faster, better, and more aligned with the life you actually want to create.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Most people are ‘driving McLarens' while ‘insured like Corollas.' In this foundational episode, Hans and Brian revisit one of their core concepts: human life value versus needs-based analysis when it comes to life insurance planning.If you're a military officer with just SGLI coverage, or anyone who thinks $500,000 is "a big check" for life insurance, this episode will fundamentally shift how you think about protecting your family's financial future. The math is sobering, but the solution is clear.Using real calculations, the hosts demonstrate why the traditional "needs analysis" approach to life insurance leaves families exposed to millions in lost income. When your economic value over a working lifetime exceeds $4-6 million, leaving your family with enough to "pay off the mortgage" isn't protection – it's a dereliction of duty.The $6 Million Gap: What You're Really WorthBrian walks through Truth Concepts software to illustrate a 40-year-old earning $150,000 annually. The shocking result: this person needs $4 million just to maintain their family's current lifestyle if they die tomorrow, and over $6 million when accounting for normal salary increases. Yet most people in this situation (military clients, at least) have just $500,000 in SGLI coverage.Why Needs Analysis Gets It WrongThe insurance industry has been improperly trained to focus on "needs" instead of true economic value. As Bob Castiglione writes: "No beneficiary, given the choice, would want only an amount of insurance that they supposedly need rather than the true value of the insured person who died."The Asset You're Not InsuringYou insure your car to full value. You insure your home to full value. But your greatest asset – your ability to produce income – is dramatically underinsured. Hans breaks down why this thinking is backwards, especially when you're guaranteed to "total" this asset eventually.How Whole Life Insurance Bridges the GapThe hosts explain how dividend-paying whole life insurance grows over time, eventually providing more death benefit than insurance companies would initially write on you. This creates a crossing point where your coverage approaches your true economic value as you age.➡️ Chapters: 00:00 - The dereliction of duty: Leaving families exposed 01:10 - Welcome back: Revisiting human life value concepts02:30 - Two approaches: Needs analysis vs. human life value 04:05 - Why we focus on fathers in our examples 06:20 - Economic life value: The better term 09:15 - Truth Concepts calculation: The $6 million reality 14:35 - Why earnings increases matter in the calculation 17:25 - SGLI exposure: Millions in lost income 24:20 - The mortgage payment fallacy 27:20 - Bob Castiglione on proper insurance thinking 30:15 - Why whole life is an asset, not an expense 32:15 - The McLaren vs. Corolla insurance analogy 34:00 - Solomon Ebner on economic forces in human value 35:20 - Questions every father should ask himselfKey Questions for Reflection:If you don't wake up tomorrow, can your wife continue staying home with the kids?Will your children maintain their quality of life?How much insurance would you want if you knew you'd die tomorrow?Got Questions?

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the critical topic of how assets are taxed and the implications for financial planning. They explore the importance of understanding tax brackets, the different types of taxable buckets, and strategies for tax efficiency. The conversation emphasizes the need for tax diversification and the impact of cash flow versus asset shifting on retirement income. The hosts provide insights into how listeners can better prepare for their financial future by considering taxation in their investment strategies. Check out our website: beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Many people overlook how their assets will be taxed. Understanding tax brackets is essential for financial planning. The effective tax rate can significantly impact retirement income. There are three buckets of money: fully taxable, partially taxable, and tax-free. Tax diversification is crucial for maximizing retirement income. Cash flow shifting can enhance tax efficiency. Asset shifting can have significant tax implications. It's important to work with both a financial advisor and a CPA. The earlier you start planning for taxes, the better. Retirement income strategies should consider tax implications.

Jim Elliot once wrote, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”“Generous” might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think about pro athletes, but Kirk Cousins is rewriting that playbook. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback in the NFL is using his platform—and resources—for eternal impact. Today, we'll hear how his faith shapes everything from football to finances.Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons and a veteran leader in the National Football League (NFL). He previously spent six seasons with the Washington Commanders and six with the Minnesota Vikings. A four-time Pro Bowler and outspoken man of faith, he is also the cofounder of the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation, which supports families and youth through faith-based initiatives.A Legacy of Generosity: Lessons from His ParentsGrowing up as a pastor's kid, Cousins remembers how his parents modeled generosity long before he had a bank account of his own.“My mom had the gift of hospitality,” he says. “Even when I didn't think I needed money, she'd hand me two twenties before I went out with friends. There was just this open-handedness.”While his dad managed the family finances with intentionality, it was his mother's willingness to give freely that left the deepest mark. “It was caught, not just taught,” Cousins reflects, emphasizing how their example shaped his understanding of stewardship early on.From Minimum Wage to Signing Bonuses: A Crash Course in StewardshipWhen Cousins was drafted into the NFL, his first check—a six-figure signing bonus—was a wake-up call.“As a college kid who had never earned more than minimum wage, I didn't know what to do,” he recalls. “I called my dad, and he said, ‘I don't know either!'”That moment marked the beginning of a stewardship journey—one that included learning to give, save, and live below his means in a world of excess. It wasn't easy, especially when surrounded by peers embracing a more lavish lifestyle. But Cousins understood that as an athlete, his income had a shorter runway.“You're approaching a cliff,” he says. “So it's scary to give when your career has an end date. But that's where faith comes in—trusting that God will provide beyond your own earning power.”It would be easy, Cousins admits, to treat financial obedience like a checklist—give, save, repeat. But biblical stewardship isn't about rules; it's about surrender.“I've done that—just checked the boxes. But that's not the abundant life Jesus promises. It's not religion, it's relationship.”He points to Jesus' parable of the treasure in the field (Matt. 13:44): “Once you see Jesus as the treasure, everything else becomes a logical response. Of course you'd sell everything to have Him. Stewardship flows from seeing Him clearly.”When Faith Feels Risky: Giving on a Diminishing TimelineThe tension for Cousins lies in balancing the enjoyment of God's provision with wisdom about the future.“I actually enjoy those moments that require more faith. When I give, and I don't know what's next, it puts the pressure back on God—where it belongs.”But he's quick to acknowledge the gray areas. “What's wise versus what's excessive? There's no formula. You have to walk with God and ask for His guidance daily.”One of the most valuable pieces of advice Kirk received early in his career came from a generous mentor: “Always give in unity with your wife.”That advice stuck.“When Julie isn't comfortable, I pause and pray. Her perspective might be the Holy Spirit speaking. Giving together strengthens our marriage and our stewardship.”Cousins sees their giving not only as a financial decision, but as a spiritual discipline of unity and trust.Planning for the Future: Wisdom Before WealthAs parents to young boys, Kirk and Julie have also had to consider how best to plan their estate. They've established a family office to prepare for the future—but with a strong desire to pass on wisdom before wealth.“We want to get to the end of our lives and say: the wisest hands to put this in are our kids'. But we also want to be realistic. If it wouldn't be wise to pass along wealth, we want our plan to reflect that.”Much of their estate will also go to their foundation, which they hope will be spent down soon after their passing. “We don't want it to live on in perpetuity with intentions we never had. We want to make an impact now.”So, where is Kirk Cousins most excited to give right now? The answer goes back to his roots.“I went to a Christian high school—Holland Christian—and it profoundly impacted my life. I want to make it more affordable for other families, support teachers, and strengthen Christian education.”It's a full-circle moment: a public school kid transformed by Christian community, now investing in the same kind of life-shaping environments for others.Final Whistle: A Life Well StewardedKirk Cousins is more than an NFL quarterback. He's a husband, father, and faithful steward who is using his influence to glorify God—not just in the end zone, but in the quiet decisions of budgeting, giving, and planning for the future.His story reminds us: Stewardship is not about how much we have—it's about how faithfully we respond to the One who gave it all.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own my home outright and keep hearing about home title protection services. How real is the risk of title fraud, and should I be concerned?I have rental properties in Arkansas, but my kids in California don't want them. I'm worried that when I pass, they'll sell them quickly for way less than they're worth. Should I go ahead and sell them now and put the money in a trust for my grandkids' education—or is there a better option?”Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Julie & Kirk Cousins FoundationWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Jillian DelSignore from Nasdaq discusses their latest income survey for investors. She discusses how the results have changed from their last survey two years ago, noting that while income-oriented investment allocations have remained about the same, the strategies have changed. She sees a “meaningful” increase in passive ETF inflows and active mutual funds. “There's potentially a real information gap and opportunity” for active ETF managers, she says.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Summer productivity got you feeling like you're running on dial-up internet? Same, girl, same.I had this brilliant idea to squeeze in a "CEO check-in week" mid-summer between family trips. Spoiler alert: trying to fire up your work brain in July after weeks of living in your swimsuit is like asking your laptop to function underwater. My brain is straight-up buffering, and honestly, opening my inbox feels like a personal attack.But here's the plot twist—while I'm over here feeling like I can barely string together a coherent email, my business just casually dropped over $74K in revenue this month. No launches, no campaigns, barely a whisper on social media. Just my evergreen systems doing their thing in the background like the absolute queens they are.This episode is part vent session, part pep talk, and all about why building those automated systems early in your business is the smartest thing you'll ever do. I'm pulling back the curtain on three massive behind-the-scenes projects I'm tackling right now (website overhaul, email platform migration, and landing page cleanup), plus sharing why I'm never doing a mid-summer work check-in again.If you're feeling meh about productivity right now, this one's for you. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is give yourself permission to rest and let your systems carry the load.What You'll Learn:Why mid-summer productivity breaks might be sabotaging your flow (and what to do instead)The exact revenue my evergreen funnels generated during my low-energy monthThree major behind-the-scenes projects happening in my business right nowHow to build systems that support you when your creativity is playing hide-and-seekThree practical steps to automate your business (that you can tackle when your brain comes back online)Why beating yourself up about summer slumps only makes things worseResources Mentioned in this Episode:Tonic Website Themes: https://tonicsiteshop.com/ Rebel and RISE (Katie's ShowIt services): https://rebelandrise.coKit Email Marketing: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/kit Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show
