    A retired police captain turned artist, Jennifer Steck realized she didn't have to wait for opportunities to come to her—she could create them. Seeing a gap in what was available for artists to sell their work, Jennifer founded Artburst Studios, an online gallery that's part pop-up show and part community hub for artists. She had zero experience running a gallery, but that didn't stop her. Armed with curiosity, a clear vision, and plenty of determination, Jennifer (at the time of this recording) has helped over 80 artists sell more than $174,000 of art in just a few years. In this episode, she shares how a simple idea (and a lot of spreadsheets!) grew into a platform connecting artists with buyers and each other. In this conversation, host Alyson Stanfield talks with Jennifer about: Her “aha” moment as a new artist that inspired an artist-centered online gallery. The key qualities Jennifer looks for (like clarity, consistency, and an active practice) when reviewing an artist's online presence—and what might make her pass. Why community and collaboration are baked into the Artburst model, and how they benefit every artist involved. Strategies for overcoming artists' reluctance to promote their work and engage their audiences. How fear, perfectionism, and overthinking can sabotage art sales—and ways to avoid these common pitfalls. ⌛️ HIGHLIGHTS 00:35 Meet Jennifer Steck – From police captain to artist entrepreneur. 06:00 The “aha” moment – How a Facebook art auction sparked the idea for Artburst Studios. 10:30 Running a virtual art show – Artburst's short pop-up exhibitions and the importance of artists actively promoting their work. 13:45 Emphasizing community – Encouraging artists to support one another and provide great experiences for their buyers. 16:00 Choosing the right artists – What Jennifer looks for online (and the red flags that make her say “no thanks”). 22:10 Personal touch in sales – How Artburst handles sales and gets artists directly connected with their buyers. 26:30 Why artists resist marketing – Understanding the stigma around self-promotion and how Jennifer helps artists move past it. 35:00 Conquering common mindset blocks – Tackling fear of exposure, perfectionism, and “analysis paralysis” that can hold artists back. 40:00 Looking ahead – Jennifer's plans to launch the Artburst Boutique for smaller, more frequent art shows. 44:00 Final encouragement – An open invitation for artists to get involved, and why showing up (like attending shows) is so important before seeking opportunities.

    The case for diversity in healthcare professions is strong. Research shows that a diverse healthcare workforce improves health outcomes, particularly for patients of color, and also increases people's access to care and their perception of the care they receive.  Physicians of color are more likely to build careers in underserved communities, which can contribute even more toward the goal of reducing healthcare disparities. So, what does it take to cultivate a strong and diverse health care workforce?

    In the final episode of the church partnerships miniseries, we explore building deeper, non-transactional relationships with churches. We discuss the roles of sending and caring in church support, emphasizing koinonia (biblical fellowship) that integrates financial, emotional, and spiritual partnership. Local churches offer proximity for volunteering and direct ministry involvement, while out-of-area churches provide unique opportunities like mission trips. The three levels of partnership—participate (financial support), engage (personal care), and own (active advocacy)—are outlined, with tips to deepen connections through storytelling, hospitality, and shared mission. [1:00-3:00] Role of Churches: Corrie outlines churches' roles in sending (financial support) and caring (emotional/spiritual support) for missionaries, stressing that partnerships should extend beyond transactions to foster accountability and engagement.[3:00-08:00] Impactful Stories: Corrie shares how a disciple's testimony deepened her church's connection, while Andy recounts a coached missionary's rapid funding due to a church's prior investment in her family, highlighting long-term relational impact.[9:00-14:00] Local vs. Out-of-Area Churches: Local churches enable volunteering and direct ministry involvement due to proximity, but in sensitive areas (e.g., closed countries), partnerships avoid drawing attention to local churches to protect them.[15:00-20:00] Opportunities and Challenges: Out-of-area churches offer mission trip opportunities but face “out of sight, out of mind” challenges, requiring creative updates. Local churches risk volunteer burnout and may expect missionaries to serve locally.[35:00-39:00] Koinonia in Partnerships: Corrie explains koinonia as fellowship, partnership, and financial contribution, seen in New Testament examples, urging missionaries to view partnerships as shared missions, not just funding.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your network.

    In this episode, Jim Oliver and cohost Nick Kosko explore how the principle of Economic Value Added (EVA), widely used by corporations, can be applied to personal finance. They challenge conventional financial advice, specifically addressing the hidden cost of capital and its implications for wealth-building strategies like Infinite Banking. Key Takeaways: Understanding EVA: EVA is calculated using three components—Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT), cost of capital, and capital employed—and helps determine whether an enterprise is generating true value. Your Family is a Business: Just like a corporation, your household economy should account for the cost of capital to ensure efficient use of resources and long-term wealth accumulation. Lost Opportunity Cost: Paying with cash may seem simple, but it often ignores the potential returns that capital could have generated if deployed differently, leading to underestimated financial losses. Jim and Nick make the case that applying corporate finance principles like EVA to your personal finances isn't just possible—it's essential. By recognizing your family as an economic entity and accounting for the true cost of capital, you can make more informed decisions that align with long-term wealth creation.  The key isn't just about how much money you make, but how efficiently you deploy and grow that capital over time.

Brendan shares his unique career path—from real estate private equity at Blackstone to launching a successful tech startup sold to Workday—offering rare insight into how his dual experience in tech and real estate shaped the creation of Fifth Wall. He outlines how the firm's strategic LP model allows them to drive technology adoption within the real estate sector, and discusses the broader opportunity that comes from modernizing a traditionally analog industry. The conversation also touches on the firm's investing strategy, views on AI and data, and why Brendan believes the next wave of leading real estate platforms will be launched in the coming years. They discuss: * Why Fifth Wall's LP base of real estate incumbents gives it a strategic advantage in venture investing * How Brendan's early tech exit and institutional finance background informed his venture model * The challenges of real estate's slow tech adoption, and which firms are actually driving change * Brendan's view on the overhyped promise of proprietary data in the AI era * Why now may be the best time in a generation to launch a new real estate investment platform A valuable conversation for anyone exploring the future of real estate, venture capital, or building at the intersection of both.

In this episode, tax strategist Ashley Tison dives into the powerful world of Opportunity Zones and how investors can use them to unlock huge tax advantages. These zones aren't just distressed areas—they include beachfront properties, university towns, and booming urban districts. Ashley explains how to transform a property in an Opportunity Zone, count even furniture and equipment as improvements, and potentially walk away from the investment completely tax-free after 10 years.

    What does real advocacy look like when it's led by those who've lived it? In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Alexa Rice and Jimmie Smith—two dedicated leaders at Concerned Veterans for America—about their trip to Capitol Hill for Vets on the Hill, one of the most powerful veteran-driven advocacy events in the country. Alexa, attending for the first time, and Jimmie, a seasoned CVA leader and U.S. Army veteran, share why this mission matters. Their focus: fighting for greater health care choice through the Veterans Access Act, ensuring veterans can seek timely care in their communities if the VA falls short. They also advocate for keeping the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which supports the high rate of veteran entrepreneurship, and call for a smarter, right-sized foreign policy that puts American interests first and avoids endless wars. This episode dives deep into the personal motivations that fuel their work, the unique power of the veteran voice in policy discussions, and how real change starts with individuals sharing their stories directly with lawmakers. Whether you're a veteran, policymaker, or someone who simply cares about protecting freedom and opportunity—you'll leave inspired by what these two are doing to make a difference.

    Hugh MacArthur is the Chairman of Bain & Company's Global Private Equity Practice, which he helped found more than thirty years ago. Hugh's consulting team works on around 5,000 investment opportunities every year and comprises the largest practice area at Bain. He also hosts the “Dry Powder” podcast, my favorite in the private equity space.   Our conversation covers Bain's work in private equity across due diligence, sourcing, value added support, and strategy for both GP and LP organizations. We then discuss findings from Bain's latest Global Private Equity Report, including data on the slowdown in deal activity, liquidity bottleneck, private wealth inflows, carveouts, AI, and competitive positioning. We close with Hugh's perspective on the winners and losers of the next era, and the strategies GPs and LPs need to pursue to come out on the right side of a changing industry.   Learn More Follow Ted on Twitter at @tseides or LinkedIn Subscribe to the mailing list Access Transcript with Premium Membership
