    What if the biggest threat to your culture was the language you use?As your firm scales, the way you talk about the people on your team can either create clarity or chaos. In this solo episode, I share a painful but powerful lesson I learned while building Triad Partners—from an underperforming team member we were too afraid to let go, to 100+ A-players aligned to a clear mission.You'll hear the exact mistake we made, why we had to course-correct fast, and how shifting a single word completely transformed how we hire, lead, and hold people accountable.If you're trying to scale your business without sacrificing your team's trust or performance, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson …#1.) Why “Family” Sends the Wrong MessageCalling your team a “family” feels inclusive, but it clouds expectations. It creates hesitation when tough decisions need to be made and sends mixed signals about what's acceptable. Replacing “family” with “team” gives you the clarity and confidence to lead with consistency.#2.) Families Blur Boundaries but Teams Require ThemIn a family, you show up no matter what, even when standards slip. But in business, that thinking weakens accountability. Teams work best when expectations are clear, responsibilities are defined, and everyone knows what it means to pull their weight.#3.) Belonging Should Be Earned, Not AssumedIn a family, you belong by default. On a team, you earn your spot by aligning with the mission. This mindset shift helps you attract the right people, foster buy-in, and build a culture where everyone's rowing in the same direction.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/122FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW 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.

You might be making a costly mistake.In this eye-opening episode of Wealthy Wellthy podcast, we dive deep into her wealth of experience in personal finance and investing, and offers a fresh perspective on building long-term wealth beyond traditional corporate retirement accounts.The main focus of this episode is debunking the myth that maxing out your 401k is the best path to a comfortable retirement. Krisstina explains why "matching, not maxing" your 401k contributions and diversifying your investments can lead to greater financial freedom. Krisstina emphasizes the importance of having control over your money and being an active, knowledgeable investor to maximize returns.Throughout the conversation, we dive into topics such as the limitations of government-controlled retirement accounts, the benefits of real estate investing, and the crucial difference between financial security and financial freedom. They also touch on the value of financial literacy and the need to calculate your specific retirement needs.Ready to take control of your financial future and explore investment strategies beyond your 401k? Listen to this episode of Wealthy Wellthy for actionable insights that could transform your approach to retirement planning and wealth building.Key Takeaways5:05 History of pensions and retirement plans10:52 Limitations and drawbacks of 401k plans16:46 Risks of relying solely on 401ks22:17 Match don't max: 401k investment strategy28:42 Options for investing outside 401ks34:24 Comparing different investment vehicles 40:48 Strategies for building wealth long-termMemorable Quotes"Retirement plans are based on a history that's not applicable today. We want to live to 100, maybe more. But these plans are not set up to live to 100, which means if we just rely on traditional retirement plans, it's very likely that we'll run out of money.""Match, don't max because you just want to take advantage of what the company is matching. But we don't want to max out everything that we can put into these types of programs.""To really build wealth and to build it powerfully, you might say, 'Hey, there's my neighbor. The estate wants to dump this property really fast. I can get a great deal on this house.' But wait, I can't touch that retirement income to take advantage of this opportunity."Resources Mentioned Vanguard (for index funds) - https://investor.vanguard.com/Connect with KrisstinaWebsite - https://wealthywellthy.life/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/krisstinawiseYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@krisstinawiseKrisstina's Book, Falling For Money - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692560904/

    Send us a textWant to build a business moat so powerful competitors can't touch you—without the headache of chasing VC funding? Perry Marshall reveals a game-changing approach to market dominance that's hiding in plain sight.Marshall, author of "80-20 Sales and Marketing," introduces us to what he calls "Network Effect for Mere Mortals"—the overlooked feedback loops that transform ordinary businesses into unstoppable forces. Through the story of a roofing company that systematically cultivated review velocity, Marshall demonstrates how simple flywheels create compounding advantages that make your competition irrelevant. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Marshall unpacks the AI opportunity most entrepreneurs are missing. Forget using AI as a fancy search engine—the real goldmine lies in creating proprietary knowledge systems that continuously improve. The companies already building these systems aren't just more efficient; they're establishing moats that will become increasingly impenetrable as time goes on.Perhaps most valuable is Marshall's explanation of the "Star Principle," a forgotten business framework from 1960 that explains why most businesses struggle despite good execution. His blunt assessment—"If your market is not growing and you're not number one, your life sucks"—cuts through the noise of conventional business advice. As markets shift from 80-20 to 90-10 distribution online, positioning yourself among the vital 10% becomes even more critical.Ready to stop exhausting yourself chasing marketing fads and build something with lasting power instead?

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for strategies to build a better business? In this episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson interviews Jonathan Hawkins, an attorney specializing in advising law firms on business management and legal strategy. Jonathan shares practical insights on building strong client retainer agreements, protecting against associate turnover, and planning for partnership transitions. Jonathan shares some strategies law firms need to use to protect themselves when associates leave and take clients with them. One thing to embed in your processes is establishing partnership agreements with lawyers you hire. This is a way to outline stipulations as it relates to a lawyer leaving and taking a client. Though a client has the ultimate choice, it can be included in an agreement that a lawyer should not encourage their client to leave with them. As a firm owner, this protects your downside and provides you with some sort of protection when it comes to losing clients.Tyson and Jonathan chat about value drivers for law firms and how owners can enhance their practice when it comes time to sell. A big value driver for a potential buyer are the employees. If a new owner is looking to take over, having solid employees and a good leadership team will attract someone to jump in. It will make the transition much smoother and leave the buyer feeling confident in their decision. Another value driver are marketing systems. If your firm has great systems to market itself, someone will be more inclined to buy because they see the dedication that exists within the firm and how it presents itself.Listen in to learn more!2:17 Advice on foundational systems for new law firms4:09 Strategies to protect law firms when associates leave9:57 Common legal protections firms neglect28:27 Additional value drivers for law firms36:34 The importance of succession and incapacity planning Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Jonathan:Website Linkedin
