America isn't just leading the AI race; it's increasingly built on it. Investor–author Ruchir Sharma joins Bankless to unpack why U.S. growth, stock gains, and even debt complacency are now tethered to a single story, and what a sensible hedge looks like. We trace how U.S. dominance happened, what could puncture the current euphoria, and where the real diversification lives: quality stocks that have lagged, broad ex-US exposure with currency tailwinds, and selective bets in India, China, and reform winners like Greece and Poland. We also tackle the “gold + stocks up together” puzzle, why that correlation can bite in a tightening cycle, and Ruchir's “two cheers” case for Bitcoin as a portfolio asset whose utility still has room to grow. ---

After losing three jobs and nearly everything he had, U.S. Army Veteran Eric M. Wohlwend turned the last of his savings into his first real estate investment — a decision that would change the course of his life forever. Within two years, he and his wife had rehabbed, rented, and refinanced 20 properties, achieving financial freedom by the age of 30.Two decades later, Eric has repositioned and rehabbed over a thousand properties, built multiple successful companies, and mastered the art of creating systems that eliminate, automate, and delegate work—giving him more of what money can't buy: time with his family.Today, he controls hundreds of residential and commercial units, speaks across the globe, and co-authors best-selling books with his family. His kids began buying real estate at just seven years old—without their parents' money or credit—and one became a millionaire by fifteen.In this episode of The Vault Expert, Eric unlocks how he built multiple streams of income across real estate —and how anyone can start building Time Freedom and Location Freedom today.He's living proof that wealth isn't just about numbers—it's about choice, legacy, and living life on your own terms. From rehabbing homes to flying private planes with his family, Eric shows what's possible when you integrate Family, Business, and Investing into one purpose-driven life.

Are you struggling to attract and close more high-net-worth clients?What if the reason has nothing to do with your financial plans and everything to do with your office design?In this solo episode, I share one of the most surprising lessons I've learned in 20+ years of coaching advisors: the design and intention behind your office directly impacts the clients you attract and the culture you create.Your office is more than a workspace. It's a physical reflection of your values, beliefs, and the experience you promise to your clients. I'll show you how thoughtful design can elevate your credibility, boost team culture, and transform how prospects perceive your brand.I'll also walk you through the three lessons that shaped Triad's new headquarters, so you can apply the same principles to your own firm and start attracting higher-net-worth clients while building a culture your team loves coming to every day.3 of the biggest insights from Brad…#1.) Celebrate What Matters in Business and LifeMost advisors design an office that looks good on paper, but doesn't feel like them. In this episode, I share how to build a space that actually tells your story. From our Do Business, Do Life wall filled with team goals to the way you showcase client experiences instead of sales awards, I'll show you how to create an environment that instantly connects and builds trust with million-dollar clients.#2.). Speak Things Into Existence That MatterAt Triad, we believe language creates culture. So when we built our new office, we wanted our walls to literally speak our values. Instead of labeling rooms A, B, and C, we named them after the beliefs we live by—like the “Significance Suite” and the “Day One Café.” We even have an “Empty Chair” in every conference room to represent our members, reminding us to always build on their behalf. It's a simple way to make sure what we say we believe shows up in how we work every day.#3.) Create a Collision-Friendly EnvironmentWe fixed one of the biggest mistakes from our first office—silos. In our new space, we built what I call a “hub-and-spoke” design that sparks connection. The hub is where ideas collide—coffee stations, couches, even a kegerator—and the spokes are where deep work happens. I'll share how this setup boosted creativity, broke down barriers, and created a vibe that everyone—from team members to visiting advisors—can feel the moment they walk in.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/143FOLLOW 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.

It's one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history—trillions of dollars moving from one generation to the next. But this moment isn't just about inheritance. It's about passing on faith, values, and a vision for generosity.To explore how younger Christians are reimagining stewardship, we spoke with Christin Fejervary, Vice President for Brand and Experience at the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—a trusted partner helping believers give wisely and joyfully.From Obligation to Joyful GenerosityChristin's passion for generosity began early, though not in the way it's shaped her life today.“As a kid,” she shared, “giving was more of an obligation. I watched my parents tithe every week, and I learned discipline from that—but it wasn't until my 20s and 30s, and especially through working at NCF, that I saw how generosity changes us. It frees us from being tied to the things of this world.”That personal transformation has guided her work—helping others experience the joy that comes when giving is no longer a rule to follow but a relationship with God to live out.What's Driving the Next Generation to GiveWhen it comes to generosity, Millennials and Gen Z are rewriting the playbook.According to NCF's research, millennials—now roughly ages 29 to 44—view philanthropy as part of their identity. For Christian millennials, that identity is deeply spiritual: “My life is a way to give away.”Christin explains:“They believe all resources have equal value—not just money, but time, influence, and relationships. They don't just want to write a check. They want to be part of the change.”This shift from transactional to relational giving marks a profound change from previous generations.Reimagining Traditional ToolsYounger Christians aren't abandoning tools like donor-advised funds, estate plans, or investment portfolios—they're personalizing them.“They want to see impact,” Christin said. “They're asking, ‘How is my giving being used?' and ‘What difference is it making?'”They're also expanding how they define stewardship—using investment portfolios for charitable investing and seeking spiritual returns as much as financial ones.At NCF, this has led to growing interest in community-based giving. Across the country, younger givers are joining together to give collectively, blending faith, friendship, and impact.What Advisors Need to KnowFinancial advisors also play a key role in this transition. But Christin says serving the next generation requires a shift in mindset.“Younger Christians want to co-create their giving plans. They want a seat at the table and a voice in the process. It's not just about managing money—it's about helping them uncover all the ways God's entrusted them to give.”For advisors, that means focusing less on control and more on collaboration, connection, and calling.How Families Can Have Faith-Filled ConversationsGenerosity isn't just a financial transaction—it's a family story. Cristin encourages families to start there.“The data shows that both generations—young and old—see faith as a guiding principle,” she said. “The key is to unpack what faithfulness looks like for each generation. When families share stories of how God has provided and guided them, something powerful happens.”Listening to one another's experiences helps bridge differences and creates a shared vision for stewardship across generations.How NCF Is Helping the Next Generation Live GenerouslyAt the National Christian Foundation (NCF), this generational shift is sparking new ideas and tools for families and advisors alike.New Research & Resources: NCF has published a comprehensive Next Gen Generosity Report—designed to help both older and younger generations navigate these conversations.Experiences & Events: Through community gatherings and local partnerships, NCF helps families explore generosity together—often in creative, organic ways led by next-gen participants.Collaboration with Advisors and Churches: NCF connects givers to trusted partners who can guide them through every stage of stewardship—from first-time donors to business owners planning legacy gifts.You can explore these resources at FaithFi.com/NCF or NCFgiving.com/nextgenresearch.The Power of AgencyOne key insight from NCF's research is the role of agency in healthy stewardship.“We define agency as the ability to act on the free will God gives us,” Cristin explained. “The more we step into that responsibility—making decisions, taking ownership—the more confident and joyful we become.”That means even those who inherit wealth should be encouraged to find their “Gen 1” opportunities—ways to take initiative, make decisions, and live out their calling to give.The Influence of Women in GenerosityAnother striking finding: women—especially mothers—play a major role in shaping generosity.“Seventy-two percent of millennials we surveyed said their mothers were the biggest influence on their giving,” Cristin shared.Yet, the research also revealed that many women feel unheard in family wealth decisions. The next step, Cristin says, is ensuring their voices are part of the conversation.“This is the time to incorporate women's perspectives in giving and wealth transfer. Their influence is profound—and essential.”Passing Faith Along With FinancesAs this great wealth transfer unfolds, Cristin reminds us that what we pass on matters more than what we possess.“It's not just about money moving between generations,” she said. “It's about passing along faith, values, and purpose.”And that's a legacy that truly lasts. Learn more about how you can make generosity part of your family's story at FaithFi.com/NCF.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Our home is fully paid off, and we're nearing retirement. I've heard you discuss reverse mortgages, but I have always been hesitant. What are the real benefits and drawbacks, especially regarding the accumulated interest? Also, what kind of closing costs or fees should we expect, and which company do you recommend?I'm approaching my required minimum distribution and recently learned about qualified charitable distributions (QCDs).

Our Chief Global Economist Seth Carpenter and Global Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang return to conclude their two-part episode on 2026 outlooks and explain why the market environment is turning in favor of risk assets, especially U.S. stocks.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts in the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist.Serena Tang: And I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist.Seth Carpenter: Yesterday, Serena, we discussed our views on the global economy, and today I'm going to turn the tables on you and start asking you questions about our market outlook and how to invest across regions and across asset classes.It's Tuesday, November 18th at 10am in New York.Alright, Serena in 2025, global markets rode some significant volatility driven by tariffs, policy uncertainty. Things went up, they went down. Equities ultimately outperformed bonds as rate cuts began. But cross-asset strategy depended so much on identifying correlations, opportunities – all in a world that is still adapting to the new geopolitical dynamics and what seemed like evolving rules.So, with that backdrop, could you just broadly tell us what the investment strategy should be in 2026?Serena Tang: We think 2026 will be a strong year for risk assets as you have unusually pro-cyclical policy mix that's supportive of earnings. And that frees up markets to shift the focus from global macro concerns, which of course have dominated this year, to more micro asset specific narratives. Particularly those related to AI CapEx investment.And I think such a constructive environment really calls for a risk on tilt. We recommend equities over credit and government bonds, with a preference for U.S. assets.Seth Carpenter: Okay. I think last year we had some preference, at least for U.S. equities. Are there any other big rotations versus more of the same that you really want to highlight for folks?Serena Tang: In terms of, I think the strategy outlook itself, a big shift has been what we think drive investor focus the most. Our strategy mid-year outlook had focused heavily on global macro risks, right? Especially those, I think, emanated from trade tensions, which you alluded to earlier.I think this time around as the distribution of outcomes on tariffs, I think, has become a bit narrower, it's very much more about asset specific stories. And yes, you know, to your point about being, bullish on U.S. equities, we've maintained that view this time round and believe that U.S. equities can generally do better than rest of world.As you know, Mike Wilson, a colleague and chief U.S. equity strategist, he has a price target of 7800 for the S&P 500 index …Seth Carpenter: Wow.Serena Tang: Beating the expected returns from other regional equities by like quite a bit. So that's not changed. But I think that with this backdrop of post cyclical policy combo lifting U.S. earnings, we've also turned more bullish on high-yield corporate credit – that is bonds which are riskier.I think very much like U.S. equities, we believe that the asset class can benefit from the combination of monetary deregulation policy. But there's also like a very interesting technical component there, which is, as we expect, a surge in investment grade issuance to fund AI related CapEx. I think the high-yield market will be more insulated from this, which means outperformance versus higher quality corporate bonds.Seth Carpenter: Got it. Okay. So, as you're coming up with these strategies and these recommendations in lots of ways, it just relies on forecasting. And I have to say I'm sympathetic to how hard forecasting is, especially when it comes to the future. In our economic forecast, we also included a bunch of different alternate scenarios because I just see that much uncertainty in the global economy.So, with that as a backdrop, nothing is for sure. But where would you say your highest conviction calls are when it comes to investing in 2026?Serena Tang: Well, as I mentioned, we like U.S. equities and that remains a very high conviction call for us. [I] sort of dug through the details of that already. And so, I want to turn to a[n]other high conviction view, which is curve steepening. We see pretty material U.S. treasury curve steepening over the next year. I think even as a macro strategist, actually expect yields at least in the backend to be mostly range bound. And this steepening will be very much driven by what happens in the two-year point – I think as markets continue to, we think, underpriced, future Fed easing and growth slow down tail risks.Seth Carpenter: So that's super helpful in terms of the places where you're convicted. Let me be perhaps a little bit unfair because nothing is in fact certain. And so, if there are things that we feel pretty sure about, there've got to be things where we're either not sure or parts of the market that really pose the most risk.So, if I asked you then, where do you see the biggest risk for investors in markets next year, what would you say?Serena Tang: So, one of them really is AI investment cycle abruptly ending. And this has been a topic of huge debate in all of the investor meetings that we've had over the last several weeks. Because the idea is you have a sharp pullback in investment in the next 12 months, which could trigger a pretty cascading effect. And of course that would likely pressure U.S. equities, I think given hyperscalers index weight. But could weirdly enough benefit IG credit by reducing issuance, which has been the main driver of wider spreads in our forecast. But I think the other risk here actually is if animal spirits run a bit too hot. Underlying our equities over credit over rates allocation is some revival in animal spirits, but it's not the kind of irrational exuberance that marks the end of cycle in our view.Given, I think there's still rational belief in that policy triumvirate that we touched on earlier, that can still be supportive of risk. But you know, I think if sentiment does overheat then our allocation tilt towards cyclicals and beta would be wrong. And historically late cycle expansions see investment grade outperforming high yield inequities, with bonds eventually leading returns.The last risk, I think, to our asset allocation, is really the Fed. Either the FOMC not easing further over the next 12 months or if it changes its reaction function. And I think both of those will have very different implications of what happens to the front end of the yield curve. So, my question to you, Seth, is what do you see as the probability around both of those scenarios?Seth Carpenter: Look, with the data that we have before the government shut down, it was clear there was a tension. Spending by households, spending by businesses was strong. Employment data were getting weaker and weaker, and the Fed has decided to start cutting to err on the side of insulating against further deterioration in the labor market.So, one thing that could upend our forecast is that the real signal is from the spending. Spending stays strong, the labor market eventually catches up to the stronger spending, and we start to see job gains come back. If that happens, especially with inflation now running notably above the Fed's target, I just don't really think we're going to get anywhere near the number of rate cuts that we forecast or that are already priced into market. So, you'd have to see a reversal.How likely is that you can't rule it out? I'd say 20 percent or something like that. Maybe a little bit more. On the other hand, to the downside. I wonder if what you're getting at a little bit is there's going to be some turnover in the personnel at the Fed. And do we have to worry about a fundamentally different reaction function from the Fed going forward and cutting rates aggressively, even if the macro considerations don't warrant? Is that really what you were getting at?Serena Tang: Yes. I think that has been the question on the forefront of investors' minds…Seth Carpenter: Yeah, I think that's a real question. The way I look at it is Chair Powell is in charge of the Fed now. His term goes through May of next year. And so, until we get to the middle of next year, I don't really think there's any fundamental change in how the Fed does business. But it really does seem like we're going to have a new Fed chair in June of next year. But even there, we have got to remember that the committee is a committee and that's how policy is decided. And so, if there was a new chair who really, really, really wanted to take policy in a truly unorthodox way, I also don't think that's really feasible over the second half of next year – because there just won't have been that much turnover in terms of the personnel of the Fed. That's how we're looking at it for now. I really don't think that latter version of the world is a big risk. That said, I'm going to throw it back to you [be]cause I always have to get the last word.You talked about asset classes, bullish on U.S. equities. We talked about high yield bonds; we talked about some of the risks that markets have to face. But one thing I didn't hear – and we do have a global investor base – Is about currencies and specifically the dollar.So, this time last year, the team made a pretty bold call that the dollar would depreciate a great deal. And here we are and the dollar has come off a lot on net over this year. That stabilized a little bit. Maybe not for the whole year [be]cause that kind of forecasting is hard for currencies. But what do you see over the next few months called the next half year for the dollar? Is it going to continue the trend or do you think we should see a reversal?Serena Tang: So, we do think the dollar will continue its trend downwards from here to the middle of next year. And I know, I know. There's been a lot of discussion, there's been a lot of debate around whether the dollar has basically stopped where we are. But the thing is, you know, going back to what you mentioned around the path for growth in the U.S. and unemployment in the U.S. – if we do see softer economic data in the first half of next year, that can drive the dollar downwards. In fact, we're once again, more bearish than consensus on the dollar by the middle of next year.Seth Carpenter: Got it. All right. That's super helpful. Serena, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me today and let me ask the questions of you.Serena Tang: Always a pleasure, Seth.Seth Carpenter: And thank you for listening.

With over 10,000 marinas nationwide and less than 5% consolidated by major operators, this niche offers remarkable opportunities for passive investors seeking strong cash flow, high occupancy, and compelling returns.Joining the show is Josh Conley, COO of New Haven Marinas. Coming from a successful background in oil and gas, Josh now leads operations in a rapidly expanding marina portfolio backed by private equity partners. He grew up around marinas, understands the culture, and now helps investors access an asset class that behaves like “multifamily on the water”—with year-round demand, surprisingly low turnover, and impressive IRRs.Josh shares what makes marina investing so attractive, how it compares to more traditional real estate categories, what risks operators must navigate, and why this sector is poised for significant consolidation and growth.If you're curious about alternative real estate opportunities, want to understand the economics of marinas, or are looking for ways to diversify beyond multifamily and self-storage, this conversation opens the door to a whole new world of mailbox money.TIMESTAMPS00:42 – Season 4 kickoff of the Mailbox Money Show01:16 – Buying insurance contracts as an investment02:38 – Guest Intro: Josh Conley03:36 – Leaving corporate after repeated layoffs04:41 – How Josh entered the oil & gas world05:54 – Transition from oil & gas to buying marinas07:18 – Marinas as “multifamily on the water”08:31 – U.S. marina fragmentation: only 5% consolidated09:28 – Typical slip sizes, occupancy, and pricing10:21 – Evictions and turnover dynamics in marinas12:40 – Why marinas maintain near-100% occupancy13:37 – Underpriced, mom-and-pop marina opportunities16:59 – Typical marina deal structure and leverage17:40 – Cap rates: marinas vs multifamily18:44 – Target returns: 30%+ IRR18:56 – Major risks: weather, flooding, drought22:41 – Marina revenue mix: slips + ancillaries24:36 – Private equity entering the marina space27:39 – Comparing marinas to other niche asset classes33:38 – How to connect with Josh and New Haven Marinas35:03 – Why investors should learn the marina space now36:50 – Final takeaways on high-cash-flow marinasConnect with the Guest:Website: newhavenmarinas.com#MarinaInvesting#AlternativeAssets#CommercialRealEstate#RealEstateInvesting#CashFlowStrategies#PassiveIncome#MarinaOperations

It's always a pleasure to welcome back Dr. Shane Enete—Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University, founder of Biola's Financial Planning Program, and creator of The Money Storybook Bible Podcast. His creative work helps parents disciple their children in biblical stewardship by weaving financial lessons into retold Bible stories.When asked what inspired the podcast, Dr. Enete explained that the idea grew from a common question he receives: “How can I teach my kids about money?” His realization was simple yet profound—the Bible already does this. “The Bible talks about money more than almost any other topic, and it's filled with stories for all ages,” he said. “So I thought, what if I just told these stories to my kids in a way that helped them see themselves in the story and learn about money at the same time?”Stewardship as an Expression of LoveFor Dr. Enete, the goal goes far beyond teaching budgeting or saving. “Stewardship is one of the greatest opportunities we have to express our love for Jesus,” he said. “When we share, we're loving Him and others.”He hopes parents and children alike will see money not as a source of stress or status, but as an opportunity for love, wisdom, and worship. “I want kids to understand the dangers of debt and discontentment,” he added, “but even more, I want them to know that Jesus is everything—and that money can be used to love Him.”Storytime with a PurposeEach podcast episode features Dr. Enete reading to his own children, with interactive moments that bring the stories to life. “We start with fun icebreakers, like a ‘Would you rather' question, then read a Bible story together,” he explained. “Afterward, I ask questions to help them reflect, and we finish with a hands-on activity that reinforces the lesson.”One of Dr. Enete's favorite family moments came from a story about Solomon. “I asked my kids which world they'd rather live in—one where they're rich but don't know Jesus, or one where they have Jesus but not the riches. They didn't even hesitate—they chose Jesus. That's when I knew these lessons were hitting home.”The Story of Lydia: Business as MinistryOne memorable episode, Purple Snail Robes, retells the story of Lydia from Acts 16. In Dr. Enete's version, Lydia initially wants to give away her wealth to follow Paul, but he helps her see that her business can be a ministry in itself.“Sometimes God wants us to serve Him right where we are,” Paul tells her. “When you share what you have and do your work with skill and kindness, you're showing people who Jesus is.”Dr. Enete shared that Lydia's story was inspired by the idea of Gospel Patrons—those who use their resources to fuel God's work. “Lydia was one of the first gospel patrons,” he said. “I wanted kids to see that our work and business can glorify God. Plus,” he laughed, “the fact that purple dye came from smashed snails makes it extra fun for kids!”The Story of Nicodemus: Costly GenerosityAnother powerful episode, 75 Pounds of Spices, reimagines Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus as they prepare Jesus' body for burial—with a young girl named Abigail watching nearby. The story illustrates generosity that is both courageous and costly, as Joseph donates his tomb and Nicodemus buys an extravagant amount of burial spices.Even little Abigail joins in, offering her treasured blue necklace to honor Jesus. “That moment shows that no act of generosity is too small,” said Dr. Enete. “It's a picture of giving that flows from love—something children can grasp in a tangible way.”Free Resources for FamiliesTo help parents extend the lessons at home, Dr. Enete created a free activity book that pairs with the podcast. It includes fun exercises, badges, and a certificate of completion—each tied to key money principles like giving, saving, and contentment.You can find the podcast and resources at WholeHeartFinances.com.At the heart of The Money Storybook Bible Podcast is a simple but transformative message: Jesus is the true treasure. Teaching kids about money isn't just about dollars and cents—it's about helping them see that every financial decision can be an act of love for God and others.As Dr. Enete put it, “More than anything, I want kids to know that money isn't the goal—knowing and loving Jesus is.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've been diagnosed with a terminal illness and care for my four-year-old grandson. I have $100,000 in life insurance, $50,000 in retirement savings, and $20,000 in cash. How can I set up a trust and invest wisely to provide for him after I'm gone?

Erin Martin, the Co-Founder and CEO of Pump for Joy, turned her personal struggles into a groundbreaking innovation designed to empower mothers in the workplace. In this interview, Erin shared her journey of transforming what she calls an “exclusive pumping” experience into a solution to make life easier for countless moms.Erin described her experience as a working mother pumping breast milk in 2021: “The cleaning between each pumping session would take a long time. Every time I was done, it felt like the next second I was doing another pumping session.” Realizing the lack of support for pumping moms, she envisioned a product that eliminates the hassle of cleaning pump parts while maintaining a commitment to sustainability.Pump for Joy's flagship product is a single-use, 100% biodegradable breast milk collection kit. Designed to simplify the lives of working mothers, the product eliminates the need for extensive cleaning while remaining environmentally friendly. “I cannot bring myself to make a single-use plastic product,” Erin explained. “If I'm creating a convenience product, the very last thing I want to do is hurt the environment.”Developing this innovation has required Erin and her team to navigate the complexities of creating a biodegradable design that meets strict medical device regulations. However, their efforts don't stop there. Erin is actively exploring cellulose-based materials and cutting-edge bioplastics, such as PHA, to push sustainability even further.To fund this mission, Pump for Joy is raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. This approach allows moms and supporters alike to invest in the company's success and become part of the effort to create a better future for working mothers and the planet.As a proud women-owned, minority-owned business, Pump for Joy exemplifies innovation, environmental stewardship, and social impact. Erin's commitment goes beyond solving a problem; it reflects a deep integrity. She put it best: “It's an unwavering commitment to create a better solution for moms and for the environment at the same time.”Those interested in supporting the company can explore its WeFunder campaign at s4g.biz/joy. Pump for Joy is making a real difference in the lives of mothers and contributing to a more sustainable world.tl;dr:Erin Martin created Pump for Joy to empower working moms with a biodegradable breast milk collection kit.The product eliminates cleaning for nursing mothers and prioritizes environmental sustainability with innovative materials.Erin and her co-founder Vanessa leverage their complementary skills to drive Pump for Joy's success.The company is raising capital on WeFunder, inviting the community to invest in its mission.Erin's superpower, creativity and tinkering, has been key to solving challenges and innovating sustainably.How to Develop Creativity and Tinkering As a SuperpowerErin's superpower lies in her ability to creatively tinker and iterate, transforming failure into opportunity. She explained, “I have not ever let go of this idea of constant learning and creativity. If there's a problem to be solved, my brain immediately starts thinking through how we might solve it.” Her passion for experimentation and improvement allows her to approach challenges with curiosity and determination, making her a natural innovator.When developing Pump for Joy's biodegradable breast milk collection kit, Erin faced a design challenge: creating a product that was both user-friendly and environmentally sustainable. Initially, the design was a single piece, but through relentless iteration, it evolved into a multi-part solution. Erin described how she explored everything from magnetic seals to twist mechanisms, testing each idea with prototypes from her 3D printer. Her persistence paid off, resulting in a design that balances functionality and sustainability, a testament to her creative problem-solving.Tips for Developing Creativity and Tinkering:Embrace Failure as a Learning Tool: Erin reminds us, “Failure is not final.” Use setbacks as opportunities to refine your approach.Stay Curious: Approach problems with a mindset of exploration and a willingness to try unconventional solutions.Iterate Relentlessly: Test, tweak, and repeat until you find the best solution.Learn New Skills: Erin's hobbies, like programming in Arduino and 3D printing, directly enhance her creative problem-solving.Adopt a Growth Mindset: Expect your first attempt to fall short and see improvement as part of the process.By following Erin's example and advice, you can make creativity and tinkering a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileErin Martin (she/her):Co-Founder & CEO, Pump For JoyAbout Pump For Joy: Pump for Joy makes single use breast milk collection kits for busy moms.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Rick Ferri discuss:  Outperforming 90% of investors  Developing a simple portfolio  Five ways to improve your portfolio Facing the risks   Key Takeaways:  Investing is not as difficult as others would have you believe. The best way to invest is to keep things simple; the fewer moving parts, the better.  Develop a simple portfolio that will hold four funds, two stock funds and two bond funds. The bond funds have to be some fixed income type of allocation, while on the stock side, you do a stock market index fund and a total international fund.  Are you going to be active or passive? Select a portfolio strategy. Determine whether you're going to be aggressive or conservative and assess if you need a higher rate of return and if you can handle high volatility.  In bad times, remember that "this too shall pass." Investing doesn't come without risk. Everything in life has risks. Even burying your money has a risk; inflation will eat away at its value. It's better to face the risk.   "The idea is simplicity. Be simple, be low-cost, be consistent, stay the course, be tax-efficient." —  Rick Ferri   Connect with Rick Ferri: Website: https://rickferri.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheIndexer/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-ferri-cfa-b6994010/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Rick_Ferri  Books: https://www.amazon.com/Richard-A.-Ferri/e/B001IGJTE8%3F    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Episode 62 – Self-worth: the most important journey you'll ever take        Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about something that is incredibly close to my heart – and that's self-worth.         Personally I've been on a self-worth journey for a while, but 2025 has been the year that I really committed much more to it. I've researched what self-worth really means, I've experimented with different ways of nurturing it, but – most importantly – I've started talking about it.   And that is where the real change started happening for me. It's been amazing.     So, now I've started talking about it, I don't want to stop! Through my LinkedIn newsletter The Monthly POP to my socials, my personal emails to my brand new book, I'm opening up on my self-worth journey so I can help as many people as I can.   Because I know just how much of a gamechanger it can be.   And our guests will also be sharing their own experiences with me today. They'll be discussing what self-worth means, and why it's so important. They'll be shining a light on the dangers of comparison and the impact of social media on self-worth. And they'll be sharing their advice for getting out of your own way, and learning to accept and love yourself for who you really are.     IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.14] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Dave – Speaker, author and Miracle On The Hudson Survivor ·       Maureen – Hair stylist and makeup artist for film and TV   ·       Katie – Senior Vice President of Industry Relations and Strategic Initiatives at Manifest ·       Sarah – Founder and CEO of Ask A Concierge, speaker and author   [06.09] The group discuss what self-worth means to them, the different factors that build self-worth, and some of the issues that can impact it.   ·       Background/upbringing ·       Authenticity  ·       Confidence ·       Calm ·       Acceptance ·       Courage ·       Personal values/ethics ·       External vs internal validation ·       Clarity ·       How you show up ·       Evolution/journey  ·       Boundaries ·       Avoiding absorbing others emotions ·       Tying your self-worth to others behaviors/reactions/emotions ·       Protecting yourself ·       Expectations ·       Judgement ·       Identity   "It's about acceptance, acceptance of yourself and where you are on the journey. We're always evolving… When you fully own who you are, that's where self-worth lies." Sarah   "Self-worth is when you have the confidence and courage to live your values, whatever they are." Dave   "It's a sense of quiet confidence, that you really are enough. It's not because of what you've achieved or how others have seen you, but because of who you truly are at your core. It's been a journey for me, realizing my value doesn't rise and fall with the titles, the paychecks or the praise… Once I stopped looking for that external validation, and started trusting that inner voice, that's when everything shifted." Katie         [23.01] The panel dive deeper into identity, labels and share their 'Three C's of Self-Worth.'   ·       Pressure ·       Societal norms/social construction ·       Perspective   ·       Curiosity ·       Asking questions/learning about others ·       Negative self-talk ·       Comparison ·       Role of money ·       Gratitude ·       Nature of humanity ·       Journey, not a destination   "If you find yourself in a room and you feel intimidated, you need to change the script for yourself. Instead of: 'How did I get here, why am I here?' It's 'I'm here for a reason.'" Sarah   "For a long time, it was difficult for me to not make myself small… But you have to think about all the things you did to get to the place you are now." Maureen   "If you go into things, not with comparison, but with curiosity – that changes the playing field." Sarah   [47.35] The group discuss the negative impact social media can have on self-worth, and the danger of comparing yourself with others. ·       Vulnerability ·       Connection ·       Truth ·       Likes/comments/engagement ·       Algorithm/trend chasing ·       Originality ·       Detachment   "A lot of times, it's a façade. You're not seeing peoples authentic selves." Maureen   [1.02.56] The panel explore why self-worth is important, and why there's no set timeline for success.   ·       Investing in yourself ·       Empowering others ·       Overcoming challenges ·       Inspiration ·       Reinvention ·       Experience ·       Getting out of your own way ·       Understanding the big picture ·       Making space ·       Helping people feel seen ·       You don't need to have it all figured out ·       Progress over perfection   "It's all about zooming out, and understanding the big picture and where you fall into it. Knowing that not every lesson is yours to teach, not every fight is yours to fight – you have to protect yourself first and then you can help others." Sarah "Give yourself permission to be a work in progress. I've fallen into the trap of wanting perfection, but it has to be progress over perfection." Katie   [01.18.12] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion and share their best advice.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Dave, Sarah or Katie over on LinkedIn.
