We say time is our most valuable resource… But most of us waste huge chunks of it without realizing it. Not because we are lazy, but because we built habits around one off situations and never stopped to ask if they still make sense. In this solo episode, I share five common time wasters that feel productive on the surface yet quietly steal time from what matters most, building a generous culture, serving people well, and doing meaningful work. From bloated meetings and inbox spirals to proposal perfectionism, over engineered replies, and long monologues where no one feels heard, I show how these patterns train your team to believe their time does not matter. I then reframe each one with a generous mindset, so you can reshape meetings, set boundaries around email, simplify proposals, communicate faster, and ask better questions that create connection instead of just more noise. If you want to stop looking busy and start investing your time in people, purpose, and real impact, this episode will help you see exactly where your habits need to change. It will also challenge you to use the time you get back not for distraction, but for generosity. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

The Questions No One Can Answer After Dad Dies A man spends his life building a sophisticated estate plan—brilliant strategies, impeccable legal work, a network of trusted advisors, and layers upon layers of entities. His son is a lawyer. He even gets 18 months to prepare before his father passes. https://www.youtube.com/live/hCA_R52ZyrQ And yet, within days of his death, people start asking questions he can't answer. That story belongs to Josh Kanter, founder of Leaf Planner—and it's exactly why Bruce and I wanted to bring him to The Money Advantage Podcast. Because if a prepared, trained, deeply involved son can still feel “in the dark,” what does that mean for the rest of the family? That's where preserving generational wealth gets real. The Questions No One Can Answer After Dad DiesWhy Preserving Generational Wealth Requires More Than PaperworkPreserving generational wealth starts with the real erosion riskPreserving generational wealth means planning is dynamic, not a “final destination”Family governance and family wealth communication are the foundationHow to prevent generational wealth erosion with a “transparency continuum”How to talk to your kids about family wealth without creating entitlementWhat is a family office and do I need oneLeaf Planner: a family office portal built for real life, not just deathHow to organize estate planning documents for heirs without losing the storyPreserving generational wealth requires planning for advisor transitions tooA practical checklist for wealth transfer communicationPreserving generational wealth begins hereThe Real Way to Preserve Generational WealthListen to the Full Episode With Josh Kanter (Leaf Planner)Book A Strategy CallFAQ How do you prevent generational wealth erosion?When should you tell your kids your net worth?What is a family office and do I need one?How do you organize estate planning documents for heirs?How do you talk to your kids about family wealth?What is Leaf Planner? Why Preserving Generational Wealth Requires More Than Paperwork In this blog (and podcast), we're talking about preserving generational wealth in a way most families never hear about. Not just the legal structures. Not just the investments. Not just the “where are the documents?” We're talking about the part that causes the most damage when it's missing: communication, context, and continuity. You'll walk away with: A practical view of why family wealth communication matters as much as financial strategy A healthier way to think about transparency with kids (hint: it's not “tell them everything” or “tell them nothing”) A simple framework for preventing generational wealth erosion A clear explanation of what Leaf Planner is and why it's different from a spreadsheet or document vault And yes—if preserving generational wealth is your goal, you'll see why the “why” behind your plan may be the most valuable asset you pass down. Preserving generational wealth starts with the real erosion risk Bruce said something on the show that cuts straight to the heart of the issue: If you're going to have generational wealth, you have to make sure there's no erosion to that wealth. Most people assume erosion is mainly taxes, market losses, or poor returns. Those matter. But what surprises families is how often the real erosion comes from people—especially family members—who don't have shared understanding, shared language, and shared purpose. You can have the best legal instruments in the world and still lose your family unity. Josh's experience in the family office world (and inside his own multi-branch family) reinforced this: documents alone don't preserve families. And if the family fractures, the wealth typically follows. That's why preserving generational wealth is never only financial—it's relational. Preserving generational wealth means planning is dynamic, not a “final destination” Bruce also brought up another critical point: families often treat planning like you “arrive.” But wealth planning isn't a one-and-done event. It's a living system. Your assets change.Your family changes.Your kids grow up.Advisors retire.Health shifts.Life happens. Preserving generational wealth requires ongoing communication—especially before crisis hits—so your family has the muscle memory to navigate pressure without panic. Josh shared a line that stuck with me: don't make decisions at dusk—when you think you can see, but you can't. That's what crisis does. It blurs judgment. So the goal is to practice communication in times of calm—so your family can function in times of stress. Family governance and family wealth communication are the foundation When Bruce asked Josh to boil it down—what's the one thing families must cover to avoid erosion—Josh answered with something many people don't expect: Communication. And not just “let's have a meeting.” He was talking about family wealth communication that includes: Values Shared purpose Decision-making norms Conflict navigation Role clarity (who is speaking as parent vs co-owner vs trustee vs sibling) He told a story from Jay Hughes about “switching hats.” In one moment, you might be the boss. In another, you're dad. Families get in trouble when they don't know which role is driving the conversation. That's family governance in practice—how a family makes decisions together, especially when money and relationships overlap. If you want to preserve wealth across generations, you can't ignore how your family communicates. Because the biggest “risk” isn't the market. It's misunderstanding that turns into resentment. It's silence that turns into assumptions. It's a lack of clarity that turns into conflict. How to prevent generational wealth erosion with a “transparency continuum” One of the most helpful concepts Josh shared was what he called a transparency continuum. Most parents ask, “When should we tell the kids what the balance sheet is?” As if transparency is a binary choice: Show everything Show nothing Josh pushed back: transparency isn't binary. It's a continuum. Here's what that means in real life: You can teach values before numbers.You can teach decision-making before net worth.You can teach stewardship before statements. And when families do that, the “numbers conversation” becomes far less emotionally charged—because the kids already understand the principles. I loved this because it connects so closely with what we teach: you don't start with a trust. You start with meaning. If your kids don't know why your family does what it does, a pile of assets will never feel like a blessing. It will feel like confusion—or worse, a weapon. How to talk to your kids about family wealth without creating entitlement This is where preserving generational wealth becomes deeply practical. Josh shared a personal example: he and his wife make significant annual gifts to their kids (in their 20s), and he has zero hesitation that they'll handle it wisely. Why? Because they've been having these conversations for years. That's the entire point of the transparency continuum: you prepare long before you transfer. If you want your kids to steward wealth well, start by inviting them into responsibility early: household contribution work ethic saving generosity delayed gratification clear expectations Then, over time, you build their capacity for larger stewardship. What is a family office and do I need one Josh offered a definition that's refreshing and accessible: if you have wealth that could become multi-generational, you're functioning like a family office—at some level—because coordination matters. Most families don't need a traditional single-family office. But many families do need a family office model: Someone coordinating the moving pieces A system to organize documents, accounts, entities, advisors, and responsibilities A way to reduce dependency on “the hub” person who knows everything Because here's what Josh saw after his father died: Information was either everywhere or nowhere. That's what happens when everything lives in one person's brain, one email inbox, one file cabinet, one assistant, one advisor relationship. And that's exactly where preserving generational wealth becomes fragile. Leaf Planner: a family office portal built for real life, not just death At this point in the conversation, I asked Josh to explain Leaf Planner—because many families have heard of tools that store documents or list accounts. He acknowledged those tools and even named examples like spreadsheets, Box/Dropbox/Drive, and other organizers. But he explained what Leaf Planner aims to do differently: Not just store information—map it. Leaf Planner is designed like a living “mind map” of a family's world: entities trusts assets advisors insurance properties responsibilities tasks stories the “why” behind decisions It answers questions families don't realize they'll have until they're in the moment: Why did mom pick Bruce as trustee? Why is Rachel the trust protector? Where is the fine art insurance? Which auction house relationship matters if we sell? Which advisor touches which decision? What happens if the 80-year-old lawyer retires? This is the difference between a document vault and a family office portal. A vault says, “Here are the documents.” A portal says, “Here is how the whole system connects—and why.” How to organize estate planning documents for heirs without losing the story Josh shared something that matters deeply: it's not only about preserving wealth. It's about preserving family. He said families don't end up in the news because they missed 10 basis points of performance.

I know that though I write with pastors in mind, not all of you are pastors. I'm actually glad for that, and particularly as we address the idea of just what the pastor is to be. I'm concerned about the expectations that churches place on pastors that turn them into more strategist than shepherd. This is the second of three resets from January 2022. Were I to write it today, there would be much to add, but little to change. I'd love to know what you think. Thanks for listening, for reviewing, and referring Greatheart's Table.

Some of the "best" performers on your team might be quietly falling apart. They hit every target, say "I'm fine," and get celebrated for their numbers but inside they're exhausted, anxious, and one tough week away from walking out. I have a powerful story from my financial career about a colleague who pushed so hard for production that they ended up quitting, never fully grasping their value to the team or to the clients they served. The leader focused on the bottom line, not the human being, and everyone lost in the long run. Real leadership is not just managing output; it's seeing the person behind the performance and leading with a generous mindset. Output‑only leadership is different than generous, human‑centered leadership where empathy, psychological safety, and genuine connection are strategic tools, not "soft" extras. There are six practical practices that help generous leaders notice subtle shifts, create safety, ask better questions, address the whole person, lead with humanity before productivity, and invest in inner capacity so performance becomes sustainable instead of fragile. This episode will allow you to examine how you're treating your own high performers, and yourself, and challenges you to lead in a way that protects people from breaking on the inside while still driving meaningful results. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

Jobs are still there. Markets are still standing. Inflation isn't spiraling. So why does everything feel… off? In this episode, Pete the Planner tackles the growing disconnect between what the economic data says and how people actually feel about their money. This isn't a recession episode—but it's definitely not a “everything's great” episode either. We dig into why households feel financially exhausted even as incomes rise, why good headlines don't translate into confidence, and how higher prices, frozen decisions, and lingering uncertainty are quietly changing behavior. People aren't panicking—but they are pulling back. Less splurging. More hesitation. A constant sense of “we're fine, but only barely.” The show explores whether this tension is temporary or if we're entering a new era of permanent caution—where trust takes longer to rebuild than balance sheets, and reassurance alone doesn't calm nerves. Because maybe the real question isn't whether a recession is coming… It's whether people believe things will actually get easier. Plus, we close with BWOM and the latest news shaping how all of this plays out in real life.

Most leaders live on autopilot and hope things work out. In this solo episode, Bob unpacks five "quiet laws" that high‑impact, generous leaders live by, often without even realizing it. When you infuse these laws with generosity, you create compounding wins: stronger teams, better systems, and a culture where people feel capable, trusted, and excited to contribute.​ Bob shares stories from his financial planning days, where mastering technical knowledge wasn't enough until he learned to own results, share what he knew, and build relationships through generous action. He then walks through Gilbert's, Falkland's, Wilson's, Kidlin's, and Murphy's Laws and reframes each as a practical tool for building a generous workplace culture that can handle mistakes, grow through challenges, and avoid burnout.​ Throughout the episode, Bob challenges you to shift from self‑protective leadership to generous leadership: owning outcomes, timing your generosity, focusing on mastery over money, giving radical clarity, and building systems that absorb chaos rather than fear it. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

Education marketing is entering another year of tight budgets, longer decision cycles, and higher expectations from districts. The uncertainty is familiar now, but the pressure to make smart, focused choices has not eased. As teams plan for the next school year, the real challenge is not doing more. It is doing fewer things with greater intention.In this episode, Elana Leoni reflects on recent conversations across the education ecosystem to surface what matters most right now. From how districts are thinking about efficacy and technology use, to where marketers should actually invest limited resources, the episode focuses on signals that can guide smarter decisions in 2026. The goal is not optimism for optimism's sake, but clarity about where attention, time, and budget are best spent.See resources and more in the episode show notes: leoniconsultinggroup.com/podcast Mentioned in this episode:EdTech Planner 2026Planning a full year of education marketing takes time, and you need a clear path that helps you stay relevant, consistent, and aligned with the moments that matter.

I just spent 30 minutes recording this episode only to realize I never actually pressed record—and honestly, that pretty much sums up how the first two weeks of January have felt!  But here we are jumping into another episoide of The Fearless Female Entrepreneur Podcast. No matter what life throws at you, if you strategize to take into account the rough moments, you won't feel like you're failing. That is what we are talking about today -the Quarterly Plan. After years of throwing spaghetti at the wall, failing to stick to a plan, always feeling like life (and the entire world and people around me) were in the driver's seat, I realized I needed an approach to planning my life that would put my dreams first. I needed a planning method that made my vision for my life the priority. A plan I could adjust when like is well..life-ing. But I also needed system that ditched the overwhelm and turned the "daunting as heck" yearly plans into intentional quarterly milestones that actually feel doable . I'll walk you through how I'm planning my own podcast episodes, my new journal launch, and even my goal to "date myself" more—all while protecting my energy from brain fog and fatigue . It's time to stop second-guessing ourselves and start taking bold, consistent action that leaves plenty of room for naps and real life.  Grab your BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner (see below) or a pen and paper and lets start planning! __________________________________________________________ Resources Created for You: The BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/vhbzuv5sg4 Past Year Reflections Workbook (corresponds to this episode): https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/pastyearreflections Future You Guided Visualization: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/futureyou The Vision Board Workbook: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/visionboardworkbook 31 Day Mindset and Confidence Journal: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/mindsetandconfidencejournal The FREEDOM Masterclass - A 3-Part Video Series to Break Free and Confidently Create the Freedom-filled Life You Desire: https://katerinakormas.com/life-of-freedom-masterclass/ The BECOMING Masterclass - Get what you truly want in life and business and become a perfect match for inevitable success: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/becomingmasterclass Website: https://katerinakormas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.kormas Did you hear something you loved today? Leave a review, so others know what to expect from the show!

We're stepping into 2026 and it's time to talk about real change. Resolutions come and go, but growth that lasts comes from building a consistent, generous culture at work. Forget starting over every January. Let's focus on the habits and systems that make people feel valued, productive, and excited to contribute. I break down how simple acts of generosity can shift your workplace from competitive to collaborative and from results-driven to purpose-driven. When one person feels joyful and confident in their work, it spreads through the entire team. That's how positive culture takes root. You'll also hear how to focus on daily actions instead of lucky breaks, why humble leadership matters more than flashy performance, and how giving people what they need fuels trust and success. It's not about titles or rewards. It's about people. If you want your organization to grow and feel stronger this year, this episode will show you how to make it happen. If you haven't joined my free 7-day Feeling Generous email course yet, now's the time.

Simple Goals for Moms Series: (Ep. 2 of 3)"Stop Setting Goals That Don't Fit Your Life".Have you ever hit a goal and still felt empty? Or quit a goal and felt like you failed - even though it never fit your season to begin with? That's not a discipline issue, it's misalignment. In today's episode we're diving into what misalignment is in order to help us better see and understand what true alignment looks and feels like, why it's important to filter all of our goals through the core of who we are, and how to make it happen. So if you have found yourself caught in the trap of guilt, comparison, pressure and more… don't worry friend, you're not alone - we all face these challenges when setting goals each year. Listen closely - goals simply just don't stick when they aren't directly connected to our IDENTITY. When we start setting goals that are identity focused and NOT for us to become just like “Suzie down the street” - that's where the magic happens. So if you're ready to get in alignment, true alignment with the core of who you really are and the woman you're striving to become - then grab that pen and paper, pop those ear buds in and let's dive into the second episode in the “Simple Goals That Actually Work for Moms” Series. P.S.

Paul Morrison details how Medicare premiums, including the IRMAA surcharge, are inflating at a rate higher than Social Security COLAs. This disparity is causing concern, as premiums can potentially consume a retiree's entire Social Security benefit over time, especially for those in higher IRMAA brackets for an extended period. Paul provides concrete examples of how extended periods in higher IRMAA brackets could lead to Medicare premiums exceeding Social Security benefits, forcing retirees to pay out-of-pocket.

Imagine flooding inboxes with vague, typo-riddled applications while your competition gifts crystal-clear, respectful emails that scream "Hire me. I'll make your team better." Job search communication seems obvious, but most miss the generosity edge: making busy recruiters' lives easier from subject line to follow-up. Here are 7 game-changing habits that reduce friction, build instant trust, and position you as the thoughtful leader companies crave. Don't just apply. serve your way to the offer. And if you already have the job. This is how you communicate with your team and prospects to build great relationships and culture. Have a generous year of communication.

In EdTech, things can start moving quickly. A new idea gets attention. A stakeholder asks for leads. A competitor launches something similar. Before long, teams feel pressure to act fast and show progress.The problem is that moving fast does not always mean moving in the right direction. When teams skip validation, meaning they have not yet confirmed that real educators or leaders truly need what they are building, speed can create more problems than momentum. Budgets get stretched, marketing efforts chase the wrong signals, and educators are asked to spend time on tools that do not actually solve a meaningful problem.In this episode, Kate Busby joins our CEO, Elana Leoni, to talk about what validation really looks like in EdTech. We break down how to tell the difference between early interest and real demand, why this work is often messy, and how marketers can use AI to test ideas, messaging, and prototypes faster without losing sight of the people they are trying to serve.What You'll LearnA simple four-stage way to think about validation, from idea to scalingWhy “friends, family, and fools” feedback is a signal, but not proofHow to spot when you are still in hustle mode, even if you call it tractionWhere pivots are most realistic, and when they get expensiveHow to use competitor reviews, sales transcripts, and lightweight surveys to speed up market researchA practical method for pairing real-world insights with synthetic personas to test positioningWhy prototyping is one of the most useful AI applications for marketers right nowThe discovery question more founders should ask, and how it can shape your SEO, copy, and campaignsFor quick wins from the lightning round and details on resources mentioned, visit the episode show notes: https://www.leoniconsultinggroup.com/podcasts/is-your-edtech-product-is-ready-to-go-to-marketMentioned in this episode:EdTech Planner 2026Planning a full year of education marketing takes time, and you need a clear path that helps you stay relevant, consistent, and aligned with the moments that matter.

This episode is for every mom who has ever bought a beautiful new planner… used it for a week… and then quietly abandoned it in a drawer — and wondered what was wrong with her.Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you.Today is Day 4 in our special New Year series:✨ 10 Planning Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner(So You Don't Have to Learn the Hard Way)Across these 10 episodes, we're rethinking the way busy, ambitious moms plan — so your year doesn't feel like constant catch-up, overwhelm, and guilt. Instead, we're building clarity, intention, flexibility, and sustainability.In this episode, we're talking about a big truth:

Pete the Planner's predictions for housing, higher ed, energy and a potential tariff mess We're in the midst of the holidays—always a good time for reflection. And this week that means holding Pete the Planner accountable for bold predictions he made in January about the economy and U.S. fiscal policy in 2025. Pete hit a bunch of these out of the park—especially those related to Trumponomics—and he whiffed on several others. Because he's a big-hearted guy not afraid of making mistakes, Pete this week presents his predictions for 2026, including positive portents for nuclear energy, his advance whiff of a stale housing market and a tough prognosis for higher education. His pick for the biggest story of 2026 might require some advance explanation. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to decide soon whether President Trump's emergency tariffs levied earlier this year are invalid. If the justices find that the president exceeded his authority by using emergency powers to impose tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner—which, to review, were paid by the companies that imported the products, not the countries or companies from which they came—the importers could be entitled to big refunds. As The Washington Post has reported, unwinding almost a year of Trump's core economic policy likely could have serious consequences for the government's finances and on the bottom linesof companies throughout the U.S. economy. It's impossible to know how much money ultimately would be in play, but estimates of how much the U.S. had collected in emergency tariffs were close to $90 billion when the court heard arguments in early November.

The holidays are supposed to be "the most generous time of the year,"… …but for ambitious professionals, they often feel rushed, performative, and exhausting. Let's get real about why even generous people struggle during December. I have four simple shifts I make now to build authentic generosity into my life and work all year. These things weren't apart of my routines throughout the year until recently and they've helped me be more intentional during the holidays. Stick around for a special invite to the new Feeling Generous email course (pre-launch now, starts Jan 6). Have a generous rest of your year.
