For episode 492 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Host Matt Payne welcomes photographer/director Scott McDermott, a New York City–based professional with 25+ years spanning sports, fitness, celebrity portraiture, commercial campaigns, directing, and fine art. McDermott describes learning through five years assisting across genres, then building a career by pivoting as opportunities changed, including ongoing cityscape images from his Queens window. He contrasts mindsets between commercial photography (client-driven deliverables), directing (big-picture storytelling for the edit), and fine art (freedom without external endpoints). McDermott explains his Backline fine art series, inspired backstage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers show, photographing road-worn instruments and gear as “modern relics,” plus a cassette-tape print project marketed via separate branding, galleries, art fairs, and Instagram. He discusses developing style through experimentation, differentiating over-photographed subjects, pricing uncertainties, balancing personal and commercial work, and sustaining longevity through stubborn persistence, risk tolerance, and adaptability, including surviving a year without work during COVID.

They talk about Jac's journey from growing up surrounded by plants in regional Victoria to building a multidisciplinary business working across horticulture, planting design, major public projects, books and creative collaborations.Jac shares how she has intentionally built SuperBloom as a “tiny but mighty” values-led business, why she doesn't believe every business needs to niche down, and how thinking of the business as an ecology has allowed different audiences, projects and opportunities to coexist.You'll learn:Why Jac believes beauty, nature and climate resilience can and should exist togetherHow getting involved earlier in a project can lead to better creative outcomesWhy your business doesn't necessarily need to niche down to succeedHow Jac thinks about SuperBloom as an ecology rather than a collection of separate offersWhy saying no, setting boundaries and being selective about partnerships has transformed the businessThe role books have played in building Jac's profile and opening unexpected doorsJac also talks about knowing the value of your creative work, refusing to work purely for “exposure”, and why making space for the right projects, people and partnerships can be one of the most powerful decisions you make in businessNeed help with your own business strategy, impact, visibility or personal brand ?

If you've ever looked at your marketing and thought "I'm doing everything, why isn't this working," this episode is for you. Aimee unpacks the difference between activity and income producing activity, and the belief that's usually running the show underneath the busyness: if I'm not working hard, I haven't done enough.She shares exactly where her own leads come from (it's probably not what you'd guess), why social media might be a nurture tool rather than a lead source for you, and what it means to give yourself permission to let go of everything that isn't actually moving the needle.This isn't about doing less because you're burned out. It's about trusting that you've already found what works, and that it's allowed to be easy.Cashflow Calculator: https://aimeecerka.com/cashflowFor the full transcript and all links mentioned, see the blog post: https://aimeecerka.com/270Ready To Take Action: https://aimeecerka.com/podcastlinks

Send us Fan MailI want to talk about something that I think is one of the most misunderstood parts of Instagram marketing for small business owners. People come to me all the time saying: I am posting, I have a great offer, I know my audience, so why is Instagram not making me any money? And what I have found, after coaching hundreds of business owners, is that the answer is almost never what they expect. It is not a better hook. It is not more reels. It is not a new trending audio. It is almost always one of two things: either they do not have a clear path for people to take from their content to their offer, or they have the path but they are not showing people how to walk it. Today I am kicking off a two-part series on the key to actually making money on Instagram. Not just growing followers, not just getting views, but turning your content into consistent revenue.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE03:22 Why most business owners are missing a clear path from their content to their offer and what that costs them in revenue every single month07:45 What a customer journey actually is and how to map yours from total stranger to paying client13:10 The three types of content every Instagram account needs and why most people are only creating one of them19:38 How to use DM automation to turn your most popular content into an always-on lead generation system25:14 Why your call to action matters more than your hook and the most common CTA mistakes Elizabeth sees29:52 The Instagram profile audit: the five things your profile must do before any content will convert36:07 Your homework: map your own customer journey from first touch to paid offer in five stepsLINKS MENTIONEDHot Reels: My 12-month Instagram content lab.

With interest rates biting, Section 24 still hurting personally owned portfolios, and renters' rights reform changing how landlords manage tenancies, it's easy to end up “investing” while quietly subsidising your tenant each month. We wanted a straight answer to a simple question: how do you make the flipping numbers work now, not ten years ago? I'm joined by property expert and fellow dentist Dr Harry Singh, and we get into the unglamorous truth first: cash flow is what keeps you in property long term, while capital appreciation is a bonus. Harry explains why the standard single-let model can be close to dead for many landlords once you add tax, finance costs and friction, then walks us through a strategy he believes is creating genuine margin today: leasing property to social care providers for supported living style accommodation, where the demand is structural and the budgets can be surprisingly large. We unpack how the contracts tend to work, why lenders care about break clauses, and what “no voids and maintenance handled” really means in practice. We also cover the practical route to getting started: finding the right providers first, using council and government contract sources, and doing proper due diligence through Companies House and CQC ratings so you don't get seduced by a headline rent. If buying feels out of reach, Harry shares a rent-to-rent approach that focuses on control and cash flow rather than ownership, plus where these opportunities tend to cluster geographically and why timing matters.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

  Fitness entrepreneur, fitness coach, and the host behind one of Nepal's influential podcasts: Sushant Pradhan is stepping out from behind the host desk and into the guest seat for this episode!   We sat down for an unfiltered 1 on 1 conversation on what really happens behind the scenes of content creation, media, and networking.   In this episode, we talk about:   -Why being effective on camera is an acquired professional skill rather than an extroverted personality trait -How to build a high-impact network when you naturally despise traditional networking events, parties, and small talk -What separates parasitic networking from symbiotic value creation and why cold outreach fails when you bring nothing to the table -Why young creators need to spend six to twelve months quietly building a portfolio before trying to leverage high-profile connections -How automating an inefficient workflow with artificial intelligence only scales your operational mistakes faster -What the global shift toward open-source AI models means for local media companies and independent builders -Why deep, multi-hour 1 on 1 conversations remain the ultimate mechanism for building trust, influence, and intellectual leverage   Your network isn't built in noisy rooms handing out business cards; it's earned through the depth of your work and the quiet value you bring to the table.   If you're a founder or creator trying to build something that lasts in Nepal's changing digital landscape, missing this conversation isn't just an oversight. It's a missed blueprint.   TIMESTAMPS:   0:00 Highlights 1:50 Intro  9:30 Realization of self worth & self reflection  18:11 How Open Source Is Taking Over 26:40 Sushant Pradhan Keeps up with Geopolitics, Culture & Human Conflict  36:26 How the Host Inspired Sushant Pradhan to Start Podcasting 48:16 The Harsh Reality of Competing in the Global Market 54:52 Is Success Just Borrowed Time From Your Youth? 1:00:38 Creator Economy in 2014: Before "Influencers" Existed 1:10:15 "Making Money Is Making Money" (Unfiltered Advice) 1:17:49 Sushant Pradhan's perception as the "Fitness Guy"  1:25:10 Rethinking Fitness: Beyond Just Going to the Gym 1:30:37 Sushant Pradhan's Core Philosophy on Life

Where Are BESS Making Money? Gerard and Laurent had the pleasure of welcoming Ed Porter Director Europe at Modo Energy for an insightful discussion on battery profitability and the evolving economics of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).  Modo Energy is a fast-growing data analytics and market intelligence platform helping energy professionals benchmark asset performance, forecast revenues and evaluate investments in renewable energy and grid-scale battery storage.  Ed outlines three stages in the development of a battery market:Stage 1 – Pre-saturation: Batteries can achieve attractive payback periods, sometimes as short as three years, primarily through ancillary services.Stage 2 – Wholesale market competition: As ancillary service revenues become more competitive, batteries increasingly rely on wholesale market opportunities, as seen in Australia, Texas and Great Britain.Stage 3 – Sophisticated grid services: Once wholesale markets become saturated, batteries move towards more advanced and specialised grid services (voltage, inertia...).  The technology is evolving rapidly, as is the deployment of new battery capacity. This makes future revenues increasingly difficult to predict, particularly because of the cannibalisation effect: as more batteries enter a market, they compete for the same revenue opportunities and can progressively reduce market spreads.  From Australia to PJM, ERCOT and CAISO, and across Great Britain, Spain and Germany, we explore the fundamentals driving battery profitability in different markets.   With CAPEX around $500,000/MW, a decent return might be in the region of $70,000–80,000/MW. Yet the picture varies dramatically by market. Poland can deliver around $300,000/MW, while ERCOT and Australia's NEM are currently below $30,000/MW.  These differences highlight why investors need to look beyond headline revenues and consider market structure, competition, saturation, technology and future revenue cannibalisation.  We also discuss Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) and explore the deeper market and technological levers that can make batteries a profitable long-term investment.   A compelling conversation on where BESS is making money today—and, perhaps more importantly, where the opportunities may lie tomorrow. With the energy industry's largest proprietary dataset, world-class experts and decision-grade models, all powered by Synoptic AI, Wood Mackenzie delivers Intelligence Connected across the energy and natural resources landscape.

I've been thinking a lot about our relationship with action and what happens when we make success, money, abundance, or whatever we're chasing the ultimate goal. Because when the thing becomes the goal, it becomes the god. And underneath that is often a deeply rooted belief about what it takes to have it. For me, that belief was simple: money is hard. And even when I was taking inspired action, that belief was quietly shaping everything. I was pushing. Struggling. Trying to make things happen. And even when things worked, I'd eventually find my way back to the same internal thermostat. Back to struggle. What I'm realizing now is that the struggle wasn't the problem. It was the medicine. Because ease isn't something we earn once we've finally made enough money, reached the next level, or become successful enough. Ease is a frequency we inhabit. And money, success, abundance, alignment—all of it—is ultimately a byproduct of who we're becoming, not just in the big moments, but in the granular ones. In the moments where things feel uncertain. In the moments where the old pattern comes back. In the moments where you want to reach for your phone, force the outcome, push a little harder, or make the thing you're chasing mean something about your worth. This episode is an invitation to take the outcome off the pedestal and put your becoming back at the center. Because the goal was never the thing. The goal is who you're becoming on the way there. introducing: the current My monthly membership is officially open. And as I mentioned in the episdoe, no launch strategy.

Making Money as an Angel Investor Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Angel investors are high-net-worth individuals who invest in startups for a profit. They make money when the startup exits by selling the business to another company or going public. The vast majority of exits are through sales to another company. The challenge for the angel investor is that most startups will fail or turn into lifestyle businesses. A lifestyle business means the founders make a nice salary, but there's no exit for the investors. Angels come in early on the business and so must wait the longest to receive a return. Angel investors look for startups that are just entering the market, as the valuation is still fairly low. They come in when the startup initially gains traction. They look for product and market validation. The product works, and customers will pay for it. With this information, they fund startups with the hopes that the company will see an exit in five to seven years. They suffer dilution when additional capital comes in. Consider these points as an angel investor on how to make money from it. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

In this week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm joined by Daniel Scott, a coach for creatives who works with artists on creating a life that supports both their creativity and their financial goals. Daniel comes from an interesting background as a musician and former lawyer, having spent 12 years advising ultra-high-net-worth clients before shifting his focus to helping creatives build lives around their purpose.We ended up going down a pretty interesting rabbit hole about what we actually mean when we say we want to be “successful.” Is it making more money? Having more freedom? Being able to spend your time doing what you want? And how much of what we're chasing is actually something we want versus something we've been taught to want?We also talk about the very practical side of making a living as an artist—how much money is actually enough, what to do with the money when you have a good year, and how to set up your business so you're not constantly working just to keep up.There's definitely some back and forth in this one, but I think that's what makes the conversation interesting. If you're trying to figure out how to make your art work financially without letting the business side take over your life, give this episode a listen.

What if the business you built for more freedom started feeling like another full-time job? When Renee left corporate America, she already had an incredibly successful career as a dietitian, author, professor, consultant, and media expert. But even after building a multiple six-figure consulting business, she found herself working 50+ hours a week, juggling custom projects, and realizing the flexibility she wanted still wasn't there. In this episode, Renee shares how she began shifting from overworked consultant to scalable business owner. We talk about getting clear on her niche, creating more relatable content, and launching her first group program, the Women's Gut Health Method. After years of relying heavily on consulting and one-on-one work, Renee is now building an offer that allows her to serve more women without continually adding more hours to her schedule. We also talk about the mindset shift from practitioner to CEO, why Renee had to become more comfortable selling and showing her personality online, and how stronger boundaries, delegation, and focusing on the right needle movers have changed the way she works. She's building a business that still uses her expertise but gives her more space for herself, her family, and the life she actually wants. In this episode, I cover: Why Renee left corporate America and eventually outgrew her consulting model How a successful business can still become another version of the 9-to-5 Why getting specific about her niche strengthened Renee's messaging The shift from polished expert content to more relatable, personal content How better messaging started generating organic program applications What Renee learned from launching her first group program Why starting with a minimum viable product made launching less overwhelming How she's moving away from one-on-one work toward scalable revenue The mindset shift from practitioner and consultant to CEO How boundaries, delegation, and time blocking have created more freedom Why focusing on one needle mover at a time has helped Renee grow How she's building a business that supports her career, family, and future goals Connect with Dr. Renee Korczak: Instagram: @dr.reneekrd Website: https://drreneekorczak.com/ To receive my weekly newsletter with more business, marketing, and entrepreneurship insights, send me the word "newsletter" in a DM.

Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________  #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________  Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Your content is working. Your profile is not. Somebody watches your video. They like what you said. They tap your name... and then they decide in about three seconds whether you are worth their time. Most experts never find out what happens in those three seconds. This week Fonzie got on a call with a guy who is genuinely good at what he does. Real students. Real sales. Real proof behind him. His profile said almost none of it, and he had no idea he was losing people because of it. He has been leaking buyers for years without knowing. So we broke the whole thing down on the show. What a prospect is actually looking for when they land on you. Why most profiles fail that test without the owner ever noticing. And how long it really takes to fix (a lot less than you think). There is a 30 second exercise in the middle of this one. Grab your phone before you hit play.

Six years into the expansion, the commercial real estate cycle still looks early. Michael Bull, CCIM covers 2026 rates, supply, and office with BGO Chief Economist Ryan Severino, CFA. Ryan Severino, CFA, Chief Economist and Head of Research for the U.S. at BGO, explains why a cycle that is six years old still behaves like an early to mid cycle expansion. Debt sits at moderate levels, the labor market has room to run, and leverage has stayed disciplined. He sees runway left in the economy and in commercial real estate. The conversation covers where inflation and interest rates go from here, why the 10-year Treasury has trouble moving far off 4% on fundamentals alone, and how trade policy and the conflict in Iran are adding roughly 30 to 60 basis points to the long end of the curve. Severino also makes the case that today's rates only feel high because most people working in this industry have spent their entire careers in a market where the 10-year stayed below 5% for a quarter century. On the property side: the construction pipeline is the most benign on record relative to existing inventory, which means owners no longer need an outsized jump in demand to compress vacancy and restart rent growth. Severino explains why he is more constructive on office than most of the industry, drawing a direct comparison to how wrong the popular narrative on retail was for 15 years. Michael Bull adds a live example, a 17-story tower coming to market at $64 per square foot, below the cost of building out the space. The episode closes on what Severino calls a recovery out of order. In a normal cycle, capital markets recover first and space market fundamentals lag. This time fundamentals are recovering while elevated long-term rates hold the capital markets back. His view on the next 12 to 24 months: higher transaction volume, more attractive pricing, and a real estate return profile that compares well against a richly valued stock market.

You can have money in the bank and still have no idea whether your franchise is actually profitable.For many franchise owners, financial literacy isn't something they learned before going into business or during onboarding. They may know their revenue, watch their bank balance, and have a bookkeeper handling the numbers, but that doesn't necessarily mean they understand what their P&L is telling them or how to use that information to spot problems early instead of reacting after it's too late. In this episode, leading financial educator and Certified Franchise Executive, and creator of the Profitability Playbook, Rod Bristol shares what he's learned from decades of helping franchise owners understand the numbers behind their businesses. Rod explains why making money doesn't always mean your business is profitable, the four ways every business can improve profitability, and why understanding concepts like break-even and contribution margin, alongside healthy cash flow management, can completely change the way an owner operates their business.Rod also shares why financial education should begin during franchisee onboarding, what franchisors can learn by looking closely at unit-level profitability, and the simple monthly habit he sees among the most profitable business owners. You'll also hear the story of franchisees who went from struggling with profitability to operating five million-dollar locations, and why Rod believes understanding your numbers gives you the ability to make better decisions, grow intentionally, and build a more valuable business.Connect with Rod:Email: Rodbristol@icloud.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rod-bristol-cfe-a72167163/Text/Call: 206-742-3443Rod's Book Recommendations:The Martian by Andy WeirProject Hail Mary by Andy WeirEpisode Highlights:Why revenue doesn't always equal profitabilityUnderstanding your P&L and financial statementsWhy financial literacy should start during onboardingThe importance of franchisee unit economicsWhen poor profitability signals a broken franchise modelThe four ways to improve profitabilityUsing break-even and contribution margin to make decisionsWhy franchisors need to focus beyond the top lineThe monthly financial habit of profitable ownersMaking proactive decisions before financial problems grow Resources:Leadership Lessons from Jo Kirchner on Perfection, Progress & Community - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369319/episodes/15909664-leadership-lessons-from-jo-kirchner-on-perfection-progress-and-communityLeading with Passion, Purpose & Loyalty w/ Paul Pickett - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369319/episodes/17267486-leading-with-passion-purpose-loyalty-w-paul-pickett         Connect with TracyPersonal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleJBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/Email: podcast@jbfsale.comConnect with ShannonPersonal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/       JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleWebsite - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

What if your business keeps growing, but your personal wealth does not?Phil Calandra built an insurance brokerage and an investment advisoryfirm with approximately $250 million under management before sellingboth companies in a single transaction to a $10 billion firm. The dealmade work optional. It also helped him see a problem that traps fartoo many founders.Most business owners have plenty of specialists: a bookkeeper, CPA,fractional CFO, financial advisor, and perhaps a business consultant.Each may be competent. But when no one coordinates the completefinancial system, the founder becomes the conductor, and the business,tax strategy, and personal wealth can begin working against oneanother.Phil calls this the coordination gap. It is how an owner can drivemore revenue, pay more taxes, assume more complexity, and still wonderwhy the wealth is not showing up outside the company.In this episode, Phil and Jerome Myers discuss the heart attack thatchanged Phil's relationship with risk, the unsolicited offer that ledto his two exits, the emotional high after the transaction, and why hechose to build again. They also examine the revenue trap, the dangerof assuming “I'll make it all when I sell,” and the three financialflywheels every founder must coordinate: business profitability, taxstrategy, and owner wealth.If your entire wealth plan depends on a future transaction, thisconversation will challenge you to start extracting the value of thebusiness before the exit.In This Episode:• Why an exit made Phil work optional but did not make him want to retire• How a heart attack at 51 influenced his decision to sell• Why more revenue does not necessarily mean more owner wealth• Where CPAs, CFOs, bookkeepers, and wealth managers can work at cross purposes• How the coordination gap turns the founder into the financial bottleneck• Why the business and the owner's wealth must be planned as one system• How to coordinate profitability, tax strategy, and personal wealthbefore a saleResources:Wealth Creation Scorecard: https://wealthcreationscorecard.comExit to Excellence: https://exittoexcellence.comAll the best,Jerome Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Wayne grew up in Mississippi, attended the Naval Academy, left after his father died, built a career in business and investments while running a hedge fund for fifteen years, spent twenty-five years as a clandestine CIA contractor operating across some of the most sensitive and most dangerous missions available — and then went to Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion to organize humanitarian aid, evacuate women and children from combat zones, train Ukrainian soldiers, and deliver equipment to the front line before discovering widespread corruption tied to Ukraine aid that he says reached powerful US politicians. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what twenty-five years as a CIA contractor actually looked like from the inside, what changed after 9/11 in the intelligence world, what the Ukraine work actually involved, what the corruption he discovered actually implicated, and what the DOJ prosecution that followed his decision to push back against that corruption actually produced — including a wire fraud conviction, a federal prison sentence at FPC Montgomery, and what he believes was a deliberate government effort to make him a convicted felon before he could become a whistleblower. _____________________________________________  #TrueCrime #espionage #cia #prisonstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

A lot of Christian women are building businesses while secretly believing that wanting real financial growth is unspiritual. They pray for provision but cap what they let themselves pursue. If you're searching for "God and making money in business" or "is it okay to want to make money as a Christian entrepreneur," this episode  directly answers that question. In this episode I share three lessons God actually taught me about money, the real, honest, liberating truth that changed how I build and how I earn. The three lessons are: God can't bless what you won't build (provision flows through obedience and infrastructure, not just prayer); guilt about money is not humility, it's a lie the enemy uses to keep Kingdom women financially small; and consistent income requires a consistent system, not constant hustle.  The parable of the talents frames the entire teaching — burying what God gave you is not humility, it is disobedience. Scripture anchors include 1 Timothy 6:10 (it's the LOVE of money that's the problem, not money itself) and Luke 16:10 (faithful with little is the qualification for being trusted with more).  The episode closes with a Four-Step Action plan: audit your money beliefs, audit your offer and funnel, repent of anywhere you've buried your talent, and a word-for-word prayer of surrender and stewardship. God is not withholding financial blessing from you because you want it too much. He is waiting to see if you will faithfully build what He told you to build.  I pray this episode sets you free.    Ready to build a podcast-powered business that produces consistent income?

What if the biggest problem in your business isn't marketing, sales, or finance—but the way you think and behave? In this episode, Gino Barbaro explores the concept of business archetypes and how unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses can influence the way you lead, make decisions, and grow your business. There are 10 different business archetypes, including the Rebel, Warrior, Servant Leader, Gambler, Novice, Inventor, Dictator, Conservator, Entrepreneur, and Master. None of them are inherently good or bad. The key is understanding how each archetype shows up in your behavior—and recognizing when one may be helping you or holding you back.

He has trained more than one million people across 1,200 organizations in 47 countries and has coached executives, athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders from companies including Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and OpenAI. Bill also co-founded Do Something and what became Raptive, making his journey from living on virtually no income to building successful businesses especially unique. On this episode we talk about: Bill's unusual journey from intentionally making zero dollars to becoming a successful entrepreneur The transition from nonprofit work to building for-profit businesses and why scaling behavior is similar in both worlds The relationship between money, happiness, impact, and personal fulfillment How to determine your own financial “number” instead of chasing wealth because of societal expectations Why continuous learning and personal growth should continue long after you leave school The power of asking better questions and learning to approach problems from different perspectives Why trying to accomplish everything alone can hold you back Top 3 Takeaways Define what “enough” means for you. Instead of endlessly chasing more money, determine the amount you actually need to support the lifestyle you want, celebrate reaching it, and then decide what you want to pursue next. Keep reinventing yourself. Your goals and priorities should evolve as you move through different stages of life. Don't assume that graduating, retiring, or reaching a certain age means you've stopped learning and growing. Stop trying to do everything alone. Success often comes from combining individual initiative with the support, knowledge, and resources of other people. Find others who are working toward similar goals and build together. Notable Quotes “Happiness doesn't link to more money, but the challenge of building things is what gives you happiness.” “Don't connect the complete money to your identity. That's where people get in trouble.” “Almost all of our failures are because we think we should [do it alone].” Connect with Bill Hoogterp: LinkedIn: Bill Hoogterp on LinkedIn Website: LifeHikes Other: LifeHikes leadership training and executive coaching A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  Learn more about your ad choices.

Guest: LaVashia Davis, Founder of Ell Wess Advisors (boutique family office and wealth management firm)Host: Rushion McDonaldTopic: Building multigenerational wealth, family wealth planning, asset protection, and creating lasting legacies. Purpose of the Interview The interview focuses on helping first-generation wealth builders and entrepreneurs understand that wealth creation is about more than investments. Davis explains how families can organize, protect, grow, and transfer wealth across generations by treating their family finances as a structured enterprise rather than simply accumulating money. A central theme is that many successful individuals earn substantial incomes but lack a blueprint for preserving and transferring wealth. Davis advocates for intentional planning, legal structures, family involvement, and asset protection to create lasting legacies. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Requires a Blueprint Davis explains that creating a legacy does not happen automatically. Families need a deliberate plan, legal structures, and defined roles if they want wealth to survive beyond one generation. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Making money and building wealth are not the same. Wealth requires systems and succession planning. 2. Family Should Be Treated as an Asset One of Davis's strongest messages is that family members can play meaningful roles in wealth-building efforts. She argues that when people think about legacy, they often overlook the importance of human relationships and family participation. Wealth-transfer strategies frequently require successors, trustees, managers, and beneficiaries. Many of those roles can be filled by family members. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Family can be a strategic asset when properly organized and aligned. 3. Not Every Family Member Contributes Equally Davis acknowledges that some family members may behave more like liabilities than assets. Using a balance-sheet analogy, she explains that every family includes both contributors and individuals who may create financial burdens. The key is identifying those dynamics without allowing them to derail long-term wealth planning. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Successful family wealth planning requires honest assessment of family dynamics. 4. Wealth Management Is More Than Investments Davis differentiates her firm's approach from traditional investment-focused advisory services. Her firm begins with: Family and wealth governance Legal structures Estate planning Tax planning Business succession planning Preparing future generations to inherit wealth Investments are addressed after these foundational elements are in place. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Investments should support a broader wealth strategy, not drive it. 5. "Your Family Is a Business" One of Davis's most memorable concepts is that families should think of themselves as enterprises. She advises clients to separate their “wealth business” from their personal household and to create structures that can survive beyond their lifetime. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Families should operate with the same intentionality that successful businesses use. 6. First-Generation Wealth Creates Unique Challenges Davis specializes in serving people who are the first high earners or successful entrepreneurs within their families. She notes that these individuals often face challenges that previous generations never had to navigate, including: Sudden financial complexity Family expectations Tax planning Asset protection Wealth transfer decisions [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: New wealth requires new skills and specialized guidance. 7. There Are Four Forms of Capital Davis identifies four sources of capital: Human Capital – people, family, relationships Intellectual Capital – knowledge and expertise Social Capital – networks and connections Financial Capital – money and assets She argues that most families focus only on financial capital while neglecting the others. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Wealth is broader than money. 8. Asset Protection Is Essential Davis warns that unprotected assets can disappear quickly due to lawsuits, business failures, creditor claims, or debt obligations. She emphasizes the importance of proper ownership structures, legal entities, and asset protection strategies. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Wealth must be protected as carefully as it is created. 9. Different Advisors Serve Different Stages of Wealth When McDonald asks how people should evaluate their current financial advisor, Davis provides a thoughtful perspective: An advisor who helped someone build their first million dollars may not be the right advisor to help them grow to ten million dollars. Increased wealth often brings more complexity and a need for broader expertise. [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Financial advisory needs evolve as wealth grows. Notable Quotes On Family and Legacy "Your family is your God-given team, not your liability." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Wealth Planning "When you say that you want to build something that's long lasting or you want to create a legacy for children, there's a blueprint that needs to be followed." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Family Dynamics "Your family even has a balance sheet when it comes to assets and liabilities." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Financial Complexity "My particular mission is the first-generation families who want to make an exponential difference in their families." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Her Approach "We don't begin with investments. We begin by stabilizing and creating a way that you really want to operate your wealth business." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Family Wealth "Your family and your finances are definitely a business." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Wealth Building "Your family is in the business of growing the value of your last name. Period." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Capital "The four sources of capital are human capital, intellectual capital, social capital, and financial capital." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Asset Protection "The wealth you build can be taken if it's not protected." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] On Advisor Selection "The advisor that may have gotten you to your first million... may not be the advisor that can get you to ten million." [Lavashia D...(Podcast) | Txt] Overall Message Lavashia Davis's core message is that wealth is not simply about earning or investing money—it is about building systems, structures, and family alignment that allow wealth to endure across generations. By treating the family as an asset, activating multiple forms of capital, protecting assets legally, and planning intentionally, families can transform income into legacy. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
