A career shake-up can feel like the end, but what if it's really the start of something new? ✨ In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Joong to talk about what it actually looks like to rebuild confidence after a season of doubt. She shares how grad school and new leadership roles helped her piece things back together—and why confidence isn't a one-and-done achievement, but something we keep practicing through small, everyday choices. One of the most refreshing parts of our conversation is Stephanie's idea of the aliveness scale—a fresh way to measure success by how energized you feel, rather than by titles or achievements. We also explore how confidence can grow stronger after setbacks, and what simple shifts you can make this week to feel more grounded and alive in your own career.

As a consultant and coach, Lorraine Armijos, founder of LAR Insights, has observed many leaders struggle to respond when she asks how they measure success.The first response, she says, “is just a blank stare.” Some leaders gauge success entirely on revenue numbers. And finally, many leaders give a “laundry list of things.”“It's really important to start with what problem you're trying to solve,” says Lorraine. “From there on, start creating that alignment through each layer” of the organization.In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Lorraine discusses the elements of leadership success and offers practical advice on how to focus on, collect, and measure the right data.Tune in to learn:The three intangible measures of leadership successThe slightly unconventional advice Lorraine offers for collecting dataThe one thing all leaders should remember when deciding where to focus their effortsUltimately, says Lorraine, leaders need to focus on the things that are within their control. “At every level of the organization, you will have a different level of control,” she says. “Make sure you are focusing on that, because otherwise, it'll just be frustrating for you.”Questions, comments, or topic ideas?

Episode 106:  Lacey Shrum, Founder of Smart Kx, is an accomplished professional with a diverse background in law, compliance, and entrepreneurship. At Smart Kx, Lacey applies her extensive experience to drive strategic initiatives and deliver innovative solutions within the legal and technology sectors. This week, Kyle and Lacey do a deep dive into the metric that truly matters for advisory firms—revenue. Lacey shares why AUM can be a vanity metric, how to calculate and use blended rates, and ways to streamline billing for greater efficiency and profitability. They discuss common challenges during firm growth and acquisitions, how average daily balance reconciliation can smooth out revenue volatility, and why automation reduces friction in advisor operations. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (04:32) - Why protecting revenue matters more than chasing AUM (08:26) - How Smart Kx gathers the data to power its calculations (09:55) - The risks of relying on spreadsheets for billing  (14:17) - Why due diligence on revenue metrics is critical in acquisitions (17:22) - Using Average Daily Balance (ADB) reconciliation for fairer, more transparent billing (22:13) - Lacey's take on the fee structure debate (23:39) - What's holding RIAs back from adopting automation (27:46) - The key revenue metrics every advisor should track (32:59) - How Smart Kx is leveraging technology and AI (36:07) - Lacey's predictions for the future of the industry (40:07) - Lacey's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Build a true revenue system—not just billing. Go beyond sending invoices. Create a complete revenue framework that combines accurate AUM fee calculations, airtight documentation of every client agreement, and detailed revenue analysis. This holistic view will give you clarity and control over your firm's financial health. Ditch the spreadsheets for fee management. Spreadsheets are fragile, error-prone, and a single point of failure. Replace them with specialized technology that automates and validates calculations, ensuring accuracy while freeing your team from time-consuming manual work. Do real revenue due diligence in acquisitions. Don't stop at surface-level metrics. Examine a target firm's actual revenue drivers—average client size, blended rate, and revenue per client. This will reveal hidden gaps or “potholes” in their billing process and help you plan a smooth integration. Automate to eliminate friction. In a slow-to-adopt industry, actively seek tech that reduces clicks and speeds up payment workflows. The less time you spend chasing revenue, the more time you can invest in serving clients and growing your business. Quotes "Revenue is so important to anybody's business. We are trying to make a profit here, provide for ourselves, and build a business." ~ Lacey Shrum "If you are responsible for signing that ADV and representing your firm in that contract, you have to have some orderly system, or you're just kicking the can down the road of a regulatory and probably litigation nightmare." ~ Lacey Shrum "Advisors are not in the billing business. They're in the business of managing money. So, try to get billing down to the least amount of time possible so you can manage money." ~ Lacey Shrum Links  Lacey Shrum on LinkedIn Smart Kx NFL A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Onboarding New Clients Made Easy with Lacey Shrum Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Many churches tend to measure success by attendance, budgets, and buildings. But do those numbers really tell us how well a church is following Jesus? What if instead of asking "Is our church successful?" we started asking "Is our church healthy?" Jesus gives us a completely different way to measure what truly counts.

  He asks me, "How do you measure success?" I have questions before I answer. "Success in what?" "Sales success is easy to measure. Serenity, not so much." Turns out he was focused on how I viewed MY success in general. Part of the challenge of measuring or defining success is the common disease of comparisonitis.

They say you shouldn't sweat the small stuff, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the big stuff, either. When it comes to finances, and especially investing, it's important to get the big moves right. Mark Biller joins us today to go over the things that need special attention.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Today, we'll cover some key takeaways from Sound Mind Investing's recent article, Getting the Big Moves Right, which explores seven critical investment decisions that can make or break your financial future.1. Have a Clear Investing PlanAs the old saying goes from the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, "If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter which way you go." A successful investment strategy starts with a plan—one that outlines:Your target retirement dateThe amount you hope to have saved by that dateThe steps needed to achieve that goalWithout an investment plan, it's easy to drift or make hasty decisions based on emotions or short-term market fluctuations.2. Commit to Investing ConsistentlyOne of the most significant factors in successful investing is how much you invest each month. While everyone's situation differs, investing 10–15% of your monthly income during your working years is a general rule of thumb.Your age, retirement timeline, and savings goals will influence this percentage, but the key is to make investing a consistent habit—not something you do only when you have extra cash.3. Get Your Asset Allocation RightThere's no such thing as a “perfect portfolio” that always wins in the market. Instead of chasing returns, focus on the right mix of investments for your:Time horizon (how long you have until retirement)Risk tolerance (your ability to withstand market fluctuations)At SMI (Sound Mind Investing), their members start with a risk tolerance quiz to determine the best balance between stocks and bonds. A well-diversified portfolio ensures that when one part of the market struggles, another part can provide stability.4. Choose Investments WiselyMany investors fall into the trap of buying stocks or funds based on hype or following the latest market trend. Instead, focus on:Process-driven investment strategies that guide decisions based on long-term goalsDiversification across asset classes to minimize riskAvoiding emotional investing based on fear or excitementRather than constantly adjusting your portfolio based on short-term news, stick to a disciplined investment approach that aligns with your financial plan.5. Measure Success with the Right BenchmarkToo many investors compare their portfolios to popular stock indexes like the S&P 500, but this can be misleading.If your portfolio contains more than just large U.S. stocks, using the S&P 500 as your benchmark may lead to unrealistic expectations. Instead, measure success based on:Your personal financial goalsThe average return needed to achieve those goalsIn other words, success isn't about “beating the market”—it's about making steady progress toward your investment objectives.6. Limit How Often You Check Your InvestmentsOne of the biggest emotional traps investors fall into is checking their portfolios too frequently.Daily monitoring can lead to panic-driven decisionsOvertrading increases costs and reduces long-term gainsMarket fluctuations are expected, and checking too often can create unnecessary stressAt SMI (Sound Mind Investing), they recommend checking investments monthly—or even quarterly—to maintain a long-term perspective.7. Stay Committed for the Long HaulMany investors struggle with "grass-is-greener" syndrome, constantly switching:Investment strategiesFinancial advisorsIndividual stocks and fundsWhile there are appropriate times to make changes, they happen far less frequently than most investors think. Choose your investment strategy carefully, then stick with it—even when market conditions fluctuate.What to Let Go of for Investment SuccessOnce you've nailed the big investment moves, free yourself from these distractions:Daily Market News—Most headlines are designed to create fear or hype, not provide useful long-term advice. The “What-If” Game—Don't waste time thinking about missed opportunities—focus on future decisions. Portfolio Micro-Management—Diversification means some investments will perform better than others at different times. Stay patient and trust your strategy.Investing isn't about perfection—it's about faithfulness and consistency. Here's how to ensure long-term success:Create an investment planStick to your strategyCommit to steady investingMonitor progress with the right benchmarksLimit emotional reactions to market noiseThe key to financial freedom isn't found in chasing quick gains—it's in making faithful, long-term decisions that align with wise stewardship principles. Above all, trust God as your ultimate provider. Investing is a tool for wise financial stewardship, but our true security is in Him—not in our portfolio's performance.To dive deeper into today's discussion, check out the full article Getting the Big Moves Right at SoundMindInvesting.org.

Most social impact leaders think they're measuring their impact — but are they really? Measuring impact is especially difficult when change happens over years or even decades, and when the outcomes are tied to complex, systemic issues. On top of that, the process of evaluation and measurement can feel like extra work — another task on an already full plate. But without it, we risk relying on anecdotes and vibes instead of real data to prove we're making a difference.In this episode, Eric and Jonathan break down:The difference between evaluation and measurementWhy tracking the wrong metrics can hurt your missionHow to measure impact without faking it. Three critical pillars of impact evaluationHow to avoid the pitfalls of mission creep while staying focused on what your organization does best.If you're struggling to track the real impact of your work — or wondering how to balance storytelling with hard data — this conversation is for you.Episode Highlights:[00:00] Why Impact Evaluation Is So HardMeasuring success isn't just about external outcomes—it's about internal sustainability too.Why some nonprofits don't track their impact (and why that's a problem).[01:22] Evaluation vs. Measurement: What's the Difference?Evaluation = the big picture. Measurement = the tools.Why confusing the two can lead to misleading conclusions.[03:50] The Challenge of Proving Long-Term Impact"That impact story took 20 years—how do you measure it in year two?"How to identify leading indicators that show progress before the full impact is realized.[12:48] The Mission Creep Trap: Why Nonprofits Lose FocusThe risk of trying to "fix everything" instead of doubling down on what you do best.How social impact leaders can take a page from academic research to avoid spreading too thin.[15:39] Measuring Internal Sustainability: The Missing PieceIf your organization is burning out, your impact won't last.The three critical pillars of evaluation every nonprofit should track.[23:46] A Simpler Way to Measure Success"Look, this doesn't have to be complicated.

Success is sometimes mistaken for something objective rather than something very personal. Do you feel the need to measure up to someone else's success metric? If so, why? Dr. McKinley is joined by Andy Williames, a serial entrepreneur and global visionary. Listen in as they discuss healthy ways that individuals can move toward success metrics of their own choosing, rather than succumb to the pull of their environment and cultural influences.

The constant grind can leave you feeling drained, like there's never enough time to enjoy the life you're working so hard to build. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle, convincing yourself that balance is a luxury you can't afford. But deep down, there's a longing for more—more time, more peace, more connection. Sometimes, it's less about working harder and more about rethinking what truly matters. Dmitry Dragilev is a serial entrepreneur who has founded and scaled four SaaS businesses, all of which have been acquired by major tech companies like Google, SEMrush, and Slack. Known for his unique approach to work-life balance, Dmitry aims to work just 20 hours per week, focusing on the joy of building and problem-solving rather than chasing financial success.

Carl notes that many organizations recognize issues but are unwilling to act on them. He talks about how to better support employees, emphasizing that understanding their needs and being present for them is more important than offering more money. He mentions that money is rarely a top reason employees leave; instead, employees often leave due to issues with a specific person, such as a supervisor or boss.Carl emphasizes the importance of breaking down large objectives into smaller, manageable tasks that can be completed weekly over a ten-week period, known as a "sprint." Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes.
