Fix What's Broken with Traditional Networking Replace Referrals with Introductions to Build Your Business Episode 266 (Donnie is based in Texas) In this conversation with Donnie Boivin we explore: why the traditional rules of networking fail in the B2B space how to eliminate the pitch and still make meaningful connections how to use LinkedIn QR codes instead of business cards what it means to rank your network and why it matters how to earn a trusted spot on someone's “starting lineup” the power of introductions vs. referrals how to use targeted questions to unlock valuable connections what types of professionals are best suited as referral partners how to use a simple five-word intro to start real conversations the mindset shift from “get a client” to “be a connector” ----- About our guest, Donnie Boivin: Donnie started his company at age 40 and was selected for the 40 under 40 list. He is founder of Success Champion Networking, an online community for serious networkers. https://successchampionnetworking.com/ He is producer of the Bad Ass Business Summit https://badassbusinesssummit.com/ ----- Key Lessons from this conversation: Traditional networking is broken: Most networking advice is based on transactional sales models that don't apply to modern B2B relationships. Ditch the business cards and 30-second pitch: These old-school tools no longer serve professionals focused on building real business relationships. Use technology to connect smartly: Tools like LinkedIn QR codes help maintain control of your contacts and avoid spam. Your goal isn't clients—it's introductions: Real success comes from building relationships with synergistic partners who already sell to your ideal clients. Rank your network strategically: Donnie's 4-tier system helps you identify who's worth nurturing and who's just noise. Earn your spot on the ‘starting lineup': Become the go-to person for strategic partners by opening doors for them first. Ask better questions at events: Questions like “How did you get into what you do?” lead to meaningful conversations. Be specific when describing your ideal partner: Help others help you by clearly identifying who you want to meet and why. Make introductions, not referrals: Introductions are easier, lower-pressure, and can generate more opportunities in the long run. Network for synergy, not sales: The most powerful connections come from mutual support between professionals with shared clientele but no competition. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Victoria Woods on Women, Money, and Our Future

In this captivating episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I welcomes an unstoppable force in the world of finance, Victoria Woods—entrepreneur, wealth advisor, speaker, author, and the renowned Financial Diva. What makes Victoria's story so compelling isn't just her success in managing money for millionaires and billionaires—it's how she got there, and what she's teaching women everywhere about stepping into financial power. Victoria's journey began in humble, even challenging circumstances. Growing up poor, abandoned by her father at 11, she learned early how to hustle, survive, and eventually thrive. From organizing games for neighborhood kids to modeling for Montgomery Ward in exchange for school clothes, she was a born entrepreneur. But it was her uncanny ability to see opportunity where others saw limits that ultimately launched her into success. Women, It is Time To Master Your Money Her first “real” pivot came while working in retail. Rather than taking a promotion, she pitched a new concierge buying service to her boss—a bold move that soon had executives handing her their credit cards and letting her shop for their wardrobes. That fearless innovation caught the attention of a financial executive who saw something unique in Victoria: resilience, determination, and an uncanny knack for follow-through. He recruited her into the world of financial advising. Seven months later, Victoria took the leap—and never looked back. Now the founder and CEO of ChappelWood Financial Services in Edmond, Oklahoma, Victoria advises high-net-worth individuals, particularly women who are often underserved or underrepresented in wealth management. But her mission is broader: to educate and empower women about their finances, especially business owners who need to understand, not fear, their numbers. Watch our podcast video on YouTube here: Key Lessons from Victoria Woods on Women, Money and Mastering Your Future 1. Your Gut Is Your Superpower—But So Are Your Numbers. Victoria reminds listeners that while your instincts matter, success demands fluency in your financials. “If you're not comfortable with the numbers, you've got to get comfortable,” she says. “You should be able to read your profit and loss statements, understand your balance sheet, and question your accountant.” Her practical advice: take an accounting class—even if you're already running a company. Know your numbers or risk being run by them. 2. Don't Outsource What You Don't Understand. Too many women assume someone else—often a spouse—will handle their finances. Victoria pushes back. “90% of women will manage their own money at some point in their life,” she says. “You must know what you own, owe, spend, and invest.” Whether you're growing a business, selling one, or inheriting one, financial literacy is not optional. 3. Exit on Your Own Terms. One of Victoria's most powerful messages is about preparing for what's next. Succession planning, business exits, and legacy planning all require strategic thought before there's a crisis. “Don't plan in the middle of a tornado,” she says. “Start when the sun is shining.” She shares how she's guided women through inheriting family businesses, navigating complex buyouts, and staying strong in boardrooms full of skeptics. 4. Build Your Team with Intention. When hiring financial advisors, accountants, or legal professionals, Victoria encourages women to trust both their head and their heart. “Would you want to have dinner with this person every month?” she asks. Chemistry and clarity matter. Her book, It's All About the Money, Honey!, includes practical questions women should ask potential advisors—plus the answers they should expect to hear. 5. Serve First, Sell Second. At the heart of her success is a simple philosophy: be the easy button. Whether solving a client's complex tax issue or finding an international attorney for a property dispute, her focus is always service. That's how she built a practice with 100% retention and a global clientele. “Clients don't want more work,” she says. “They want someone who makes their lives easier.” You can read more in her book, "It's All About the Money, Honey," on Amazon. Why This Conversation about Money and Women Matters Now Women control more wealth today than at any time in history, and the number of women-owned businesses is soaring. Yet many still feel unprepared to manage that wealth with confidence. This episode is a powerful reminder that financial empowerment is about knowledge, confidence, and the courage to ask questions. As Victoria says, “Don't take advice from broke people—physically, financially, or spiritually.” Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a company, or planning a graceful exit, take time to get financially fluent. The future is female—and she should be well-funded. Learn More To learn more about Victoria Woods, visit ChappelWood.com or search for The Financial Diva online. You can also find her book It's All About the Money on Amazon and listen to selected chapters she's recorded to hear her passion and humor come alive. Ready to get off the brink?

This is Zack Fuss. Today, we are breaking down Nexstar Media Group. Nexstar controls more local television stations than any other company in the US. This industry has experienced substantial consolidation, which has reshaped itself over the past decade and ultimately culminated in the emergence of businesses like Nexstar as the preeminent station group outside of the Big Four. My guest today is Simeon McMillan, founder of media-focused research firm Accrued Interest. He's held roles as a banker and executive within prominent television, cable, and radio businesses, including Univision Networks and Media Co. In this discussion, we will examine the foundational structure of the broadcast television industry, tracing its evolution from the pre-Internet hub-and-spoke model of the major networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox. Simeon breaks down the revenue streams that sustain this ecosystem and how subscriber fees from multi-channel video programming distributors like YouTube TV and Comcast cable are distributed among the networks and their affiliates. We also address the impact of cord-cutting on subscribers and how those viewership metrics impact pricing power within the television ecosystem. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Nexstar Media.

She also dives deep into small business legal advice that helps you avoid drama down the road, including partnership agreements, lease negotiations, and why a solid contract is worth more than a catchy brand name.
