From chief marketing officer at the first internet bank to building the leading annuity platform for RIAs, David Lau shares proven strategies for raising capital, navigating public company challenges, and why converting commission-based revenue to fee-based can multiply your exit value by five times. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with David Lau, founder and CEO of DPL Financial Partners, who has raised over $500 million across multiple ventures and built DPL into a platform serving more than 10,000 advisors at over 3,500 RIA firms. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why organic growth matters far more than market growth when acquirers evaluate your business, how converting commission-based annuity business to fee-based can multiply both your revenue and your exit multiple, the real tradeoffs of taking institutional capital and signing up for aggressive growth, the critical difference between venture capitalist optimism and private equity scrutiny, and how recognizing when your business has "run its course" can open the door to building something bigger. DAVID'S JOURNEY: David's career began as chief marketing officer of Telebank, the first internet bank, where he helped raise over $500 million. When preparing to go public, the stock jumped from $17 to $150 in weeks before Goldman Sachs stabilized pricing at $105. He later built Jefferson National, an insurance carrier he sold to Nationwide. That experience taught him the valuable part was distribution, not the capital-intensive balance sheet, leading directly to founding DPL in 2018. KEY INSIGHTS: A billionaire David met admitted he "mistook a bull market for brilliance." Acquirers only pay premium multiples for organic growth. If you did nothing different over the last decade as an RIA, you're making twice as much just from market performance. Buyers know this. Converting from commission to fee-based transforms exit potential with three times the revenue and five times the multiple, while expanding your buyer pool. DPL's technology reviews 2,500 policies per hour, and a significant portion of DPL's $4 billion in annuity sales were M&A related. When launching DPL, David planned to bootstrap until meeting Todd Boehly. Taking institutional capital means signing up for aggressive growth where some team members won't make it to the next stage. Venture capitalists are optimists who see your vision. Private equity investors see everything that can go wrong. Perfect for RIA owners considering M&A, hybrid advisors evaluating fee-based transitions, and entrepreneurs weighing capital raising decisions.

In this episode of Connected Parenting, Jennifer unpacks why the holiday season, meant to feel magical, can so quickly become overwhelming for families, especially those with sensitive, strong-willed, neurodivergent, or easily dysregulated kids.Between packed schedules, disrupted routines, sugar highs, late nights, social expectations, and the pressure to “be cheerful,” many children experience a perfect storm of excitement and stress.

This week we made our way through twenty rolls of ‘Word a Day' toilet paper – not (entirely) because of tummy trouble, but in order to impress one of the world's greatest wielders of words, copywriting legend Tim Delaney. An advertiser who made all of advertising try harder with their adverts, Tim is of course the founder of the famous Leagas Delaney agency as well as being one of the all-time great copywriters.  You'll no doubt have spent much time gawping at and/or weeping over some of his most iconic work – including some extraordinary campaigns for Harrods, Adidas and Nationwide. He's also the creative brain behind the unforgettable ‘Perfect Day' film for the BBC – giving the world the briefest sniff of what a Bowie/Boyzone collaboration might have been. Wildly successful in both the building of an agency and the writing of copy, Tim is also one of advertising's most compelling talkers of sense – with a philosophy built around strategic thinking, disciplined work and a healthy appreciation for the value of intuition. In a chat where we skid quickly and wildly away from what we laughably called ‘the agenda', Tim takes us on an entertaining and eye-opening journey through one of the most remarkable lives in the creativity game.   This episode is proudly dedicated to Tom Harrington.

When a single federal judge can freeze a president's policy nationwide, it raises big questions about checks and balances and democratic accountability. That's one reason nationwide injunctions have become central to some of today's most consequential legal battles—and why the Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. CASA matters.At a live recording, Stanford Legal host Diego Zambrano sat down with Professor Mila Sohoni, one of the country's leading scholars on federal courts and administrative law, for a conversation that moved from President Trump's day-one birthright-citizenship order to the Court's ruling in CASA, including how lower courts are now navigating the decision's new, but murky, constraints on nationwide injunctions.Sohoni breaks the protection these injunctions can offer when sweeping executive actions threaten millions, the risks of empowering individual judges to halt national policy, and the incentives for strategic forum shopping in a polarized era. She also explains how CASA reins in—but doesn't eliminate—the nationwide injunction, leaving room for broad relief through class actions, universal vacatur, and “complete relief” findings. The discussion sheds light on how the legal landscape is shifting after CASA, and why nationwide injunctions continue to shape major clashes between the courts and the executive branch.Links:Mila Sohoni >>> Stanford Law page“The Puzzle of Procedural Originalism” >>>  Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageDiego Zambrano >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:00) The Scope of Nationwide Injunctions(00:12:01) Epistemic and Democratic Arguments Against Nationwide Injunctions(00:28:54) The CASA Decision(00:29:37) Legal Basis and Impact of Executive Orders(00:38:20) Conclusion and Audience Questions Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Along the way we'll be debating the relative merits of a whining bloke over-emoting a rewrite of the Weetos jingle and a bloke in another room singing through a cardboard tube, failing to buy an album worth five thousand quid for twenty pence, learning how to throw shade with a rogue capital letter, pondering the proliferation of Johns and Alans in library music and definitely not watching anything whatsoever late at night on SAT1.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.

In today's Q&A episode, I am answering two powerful parenting questions about teens who are anxious, withdrawn, or pushing parents away.Exploring how to support a 14-year-old who feels intense anxiety entering stores or public places, and why this “spotlight stage” is such a normal part of teen development. Listen in to hear me share how tools like the CALM Technique, predictability, rehearsal, and sensory anchors can reduce anticipatory fear and help anxious teens feel more regulated.We then look at how to communicate with a 15-year-old who shuts down or becomes easily irritated, and why teens often push away the feeling of being small rather than the parent themselves. I offer practical strategies like side-door conversations, low-pressure moments of connection, a warm neutral tone, and the 5:2 ratio to keep communication open and relationship-focused.This episode is a reassuring guide for any parent navigating anxious teens, withdrawn teens, or the normal developmental challenges of adolescence reminding you that connection and co-regulation are the bridge back to closeness.Jennifer's Takeaways:Q&A on Helping a 14-Year-Old with Anxiety (00:01)Strategies for Managing Anxiety in Public Places (04:46)Connecting with Teenagers: Side Door Conversations (09:05)Building Connection Through Proximity and Moments (15:13)Resources and Final Thoughts (18:12)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

XRP: Final Battle | Flare FIXES DeFi | Somalia Fraud ERUPTS Nationwide

A critical national security decision is currently under high-level review inside the Trump administration. By Christmas eve, the Secretaries of State and the Treasury are tasked with reporting to the President whether to designate some or all of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.  This should be a no-brainer since the Brotherhood is committed to the destruction of America and its submission, along with the rest of the world, to a global “caliphate” ruling according to Islam's totalitarian sharia code. Filmmaker Ami Horowitz brilliantly documented these ambitions in a short video entitled, “Inside the Muslim Brotherhood.”   The Brothers are aggressively enabled by two influential, but actually subversive so-called U.S. “allies”: Qatar and Turkey. Both are actively opposing any such designation.  But last month, Texas Governor Greg Abbot effectively banned the Brotherhood in his state. President Trump must do the same nationwide. This is Frank Gaffney.

It follows on from their US expansion, with them now stocked in over 4000 stores including Target, Walmart, and Sprouts. Founder Lisa King told Mike Hosking there's been a huge trend towards alcohol moderation. She says that a lot of people are still drinking alcohol, but they're moderating it and choosing to drink less or drink non-alcoholic versions.

We continue our float down the Ohio River this week on Sustainability Now!, as your host, Justin Mog, paddles along with three guests who are all actively involved in advocating for the passage of the Ohio River Restoration Program Act (H.R. 5966): Forest Clevenger, Executive Director of The Ohio River Way (https://ohioriverway.org); Michael Washburn, Executive Director of the Kentucky Waterways Alliance (https://kwalliance.org); and David Wicks, Board Chair of River City Paddle Sports (https://rivercitypaddlesports.org) The Ohio River Basin, spanning 55 congressional districts across 15 states, is the nation's largest body of water to receive no dedicated federal funding. In mid-November, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) led introduction of the Ohio River Restoration Program Act with Reps. Erin Houchin (IN-09), Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Emilia Sykes (OH-13), Mike Rulli (OH-06), and Mark Messmer (IN-08) to fund the economic and environmental restoration of the Ohio River. The bipartisan coalition of Members represents districts throughout the Ohio River Basin, which serves as a source of drinking water for more than 25 million Americans, and its ecosystem is vital to local economies and industries, generating more than 500,000 jobs and $21 billion in wages. Nationwide, more than a third of the United States' waterborne commerce travels through the Ohio River – $43 billion in commodities annually – yet the Ohio River is still the nation's largest body of water without any dedicated federal funding. The bill would dedicate up to $350 million in federal investments to the large-scale restoration of the Ohio River Basin, using initiatives similar to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which resulted in more than $3 in return on every federal dollar invested in the program. The Ohio River Restoration Program Act would create a federal office within the Environmental Protection Agency to guide a restoration plan in coordination with states, local governments, interstate compact agencies, tribal nations, and non-governmental organizations that includes: • habitat restoration, farm conservation, and invasive species control and management; • pollution prevention and clean water protection; • robust monitoring, data collection, and evaluation; • local workforce development and training for jobs in water protection and restoration; • input from the local public to hold elected officials accountable and ensure that residents have a seat at the table in restoration decisions; • guaranteed clean, safe, and affordable water for local homeowners regardless of economic status; and • investments in local communities at particular risk of extreme storms, flooding, and pollution.

Even the Wyoming Tribune Eagle has to admit that charitable organizations really don't need government.  And, it's not the government's job anyway.  IT'S OUR JOB.  So-called government charity is only making big government even bigger. The government shutdown is a perfect example.  Private organizations shined, helping those in need across the whole state.  Nationwide, Americans raise over half-a-trillion every year for benevolent purposes.  Are you telling me we can't handle the needs of the poor with that amount of cash?  We can, and the WTE admits it.

Congress is pushing a nationwide ban on hemp-derived THC beverages, and the ripple effects are massive, especially in Kentucky where a huge chunk of America's hemp is grown and processed. Matt and Jason break down what the federal bill actually does, why THC seltzers suddenly became a target, and how the same politicians who legalized hemp in 2018 are now scrambling to shut down the industry they created.We dig into cannabinoids, legal loopholes, federal overreach, small-business chaos, and why a 5 mg THC drink somehow became a national priority. It's messy, it's political, and it's hitting the entire country at once. And of course, we dissect all of it with the signature Arsenic Culture sarcasm.#thcdrinks #hempseltzer #cannabisnewshttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

From a U. S. Army Combat Veteran Mindset to Tractor Supply Leadership: Building Teams, Safety, and Continuous Improvement This week, Marcus and Melanie welcome Rodney Bailey, a devoted husband, father, and decorated U.S. Army combat veteran whose leadership has been shaped by four combat tours and distinguished honors, including the Purple Heart and Meritorious Service Medal. He now applies that mission-driven discipline at Tractor Supply Company, where he leads operations and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen safety, streamline performance, and unlock millions in new production capacity. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Human Performance Advocate, Rodney is committed to developing leaders and building teams who pursue excellence with pride and purpose. A lifelong learner who embraces challenge, he is currently earning his Doctorate in Business with a focus on Strategy and Innovation. Through it all, he remains anchored in faith, family, and service—values that also inspired his children's book, God Is Bigger Than a Bear. A National Impact Rooted in Community Marcus and Melanie also welcome Lindsay Grayson, who serves as the Chief Revenue Officer at K9s For Warriors, overseeing the Development and Marketing teams as she drives brand visibility, deepens donor engagement, and accelerates revenue growth for the nation's largest provider of trained service dogs for military veterans. Since joining the organization, Lindsay has reshaped its fundraising trajectory—boosting revenue by 70% in her first year and leading K9s For Warriors to a historic, record-setting year of giving in 2023. Her performance and impact earned her recognition as a Jacksonville Business Journal Women of Influence honoree. Prior to her nonprofit leadership career, Lindsay worked as a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch, guiding clients through strategic planning and long-term financial goals. A Jacksonville native and proud spouse of an Air Force veteran and First Responder, she finds joy in family time, travel, live music, and cheering on her children, Lucas and Ebby. In This Episode You Will Hear: • At redeployment, something happened to me. During Ramadi, they started really looking at traumatic brain injuries. They started putting sensors in the helmets. (30:34) • If you didn't lose a liter of blood or you're not missing a body part, it's Ibuprofen & water. (30:54) • When I got back and they hooked up my helmet, and they're like: “something's up.” (31:02) • At 31:10, Rodney tells of one of his traumatic brain injury events as a 50 cal gunner. [He hit the gun at 20mph. It was the only thing that kept him from being thrown from the vehicle. • I did about 5 months in another deployment and was Medivacked out to Germany with another head injury. (32:29) • It wasn't like I had to learn to walk again. I had to learn how to walk straight. (33:35) • You know that you have to wait for that 30, 45 to 90 second, depending on what kind of round it is. And then you hear the sound – “Here it is.” You gotta run, just hoping that it doesn't hit you. (36:05) • There's beauty in some fights. (38:33) • Sometimes there's like a calm and pause in war. (42:35) • If you're gonna transition from the military, I think there's some things that are grounded in you – core beliefs, values, and everything like that. (49:26) • At Tractor Supply, one of the things that brought me to it is the core missions and values. (49:46) • 10% of all people who work for Tractor Supply are veterans. (50:46) • This was the first company that actually told me, “Hey, go home and spend time with your family.” (51:13) • [Lindsay] Tractor [Supply} has helped put mor leashes in the hands of veterans, and they really believe in our mission. (54:51) • Lindsay shares how veterans go about applying for a canine from CaninesforWarriors.org. (55:31) • [Marcus] We're conditioned to come in – we're not conditioned to get out. (57:31) • The only thing that's gonna stop you, is you. (70:32) • Sometimes you're dealt with cards, but you're writing the book of your life.
