Proactive Legal Strategies for Startups: Insights from Jeff Holman of Intellectual StrategiesIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Jeff Holman, Founder and CEO of Intellectual Strategies. Jeff brings over 25 years of experience in intellectual property and business law to the conversation, where he shares how startups can avoid legal pitfalls and proactively handle legal challenges. The episode highlights the importance of adopting a fractional legal team model and how early legal engagement can empower startups to make smarter, cost-effective business decisions.Building a Proactive Legal Strategy for StartupsJeff Holman explains that one of the most critical steps for startups is integrating proactive legal counsel into their business strategy. Instead of treating legal issues as emergencies, startups can benefit greatly from a fractional legal team that provides ongoing, subscription-based legal support. This approach removes the financial barriers of hourly billing and ensures that companies receive expert legal advice on issues such as intellectual property, employment law, and contracts, without the risk of unpredictable costs.A proactive legal model helps businesses avoid costly mistakes, including intellectual property infringement and marketing missteps. Jeff emphasizes that involving legal counsel early in business decisions, such as structuring contracts, launching products, or navigating advertising regulations, can prevent issues from escalating into expensive lawsuits or penalties. The fractional legal team model also ensures that businesses have access to diverse legal expertise, fostering smarter, faster decision-making while avoiding the delays often caused by working with a single attorney.Jeff shares valuable insights on the risks startups face, such as using copyrighted material or celebrity likenesses without permission, which can lead to severe legal and financial consequences. By leveraging fractional legal teams, startups can gain comprehensive support and reduce the likelihood of such mistakes, ultimately saving money in the long run. Proactive legal strategies not only safeguard the business but also empower entrepreneurs to innovate and grow confidently.About Jeff HolmanJeff Holman is the Founder and CEO of Intellectual Strategies, a firm dedicated to helping businesses navigate the complexities of intellectual property and business law.

In this episode, Pete Codella, managing director of business services at the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, talks with Stephanie Frohman, associate director of the Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water, and Air at Utah State University. Frohman shares her career journey and the critical work the institute is doing in Utah. With 27 years of experience as an engineer in medical devices, she transitioned into economic development, spending two decades at the Economic Development Corporation of Utah. Her passion for mission-based work led her to focus on natural resources, leading her to her current role, where she is pursuing a master's degree in natural resources to better understand Utah's unique environmental challenges and opportunities. Frohman highlights the institute's mission to connect decision-makers with high-quality research, providing evidence-based support for environmental and economic solutions. It produces an annual report for the governor and Legislature, translating complex research into accessible insights and serving as a resource for policymakers on land, water, and air issues.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of exploring this mission with Dr. Canaan Van Williams, the Fund Manager of ProActive Real Estate Group. His work focuses on Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAA), helping underserved communities secure quality, affordable homes while delivering returns for investors.Dr. Canaan shared his passion for affordable housing through his latest project, Rancho Affordable Living, in Las Vegas. This 23-unit development provides low-income housing at 20–30% below market rates. It prioritizes second-chance housing for people previously evicted, unhoused, or escaping domestic violence. He explained, “Second chance housing is such a huge part of the low-income affordable housing sector. We tend to serve people who are anywhere from 50 to 30 percent AMI or below.”What makes this effort even more compelling is its focus on impact and speed. By revitalizing existing properties, ProActive Real Estate Group avoids the delays associated with subsidies, enabling quicker housing solutions. According to Canaan, “We're able to achieve above market-rate returns because we pass on the cost savings benefits of revitalizing what's existing.”For those who want to get involved, there's exciting news: ProActive Real Estate Group has a live Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign now. This democratizes investment opportunities, allowing non-accredited investors to support affordable housing while earning current income.Canaan brings a unique perspective to this work, drawing from his upbringing in Oakland, California, where his family benefited from affordable housing programs. This personal connection fuels his commitment to creating sustainable communities. “We do everything we can to help our residents,” he shared.Affordable housing projects like Rancho Affordable Living exemplify how mission-driven investments can combine social impact with financial returns. By investing in efforts like this, we can celebrate milestones like Juneteenth not just in words, but in action.tl;dr:Dr. Canaan Van Williams pioneers affordable housing projects like Rancho Affordable Living, offering below-market rents.His work prioritizes second-chance housing, helping underserved people rebuild their lives with dignity.ProActive Real Estate Group's Reg CF campaign allows everyone to invest in impactful housing solutions.Dr. Canaan's faith in God and humanity drives his compassionate approach to building sustainable communities.His advocacy for housing stability showcases the power of love, empathy, and mission-driven leadership.How to Develop Faith and Empathy As a SuperpowerDr. Canaan's superpower is rooted in his faith in God and humanity, coupled with a deep empathy for others. He said, “Our superpower is love. We really practice and demonstrate empathy as much as we possibly can.” This perspective drives his work, enabling him to create housing solutions that prioritize dignity and community for underserved populations. Dr. Canaan's faith inspires him to focus on impact first, trusting that everything else will follow.A compelling example of Dr. Canaan's superpower in action comes from a story about two single mothers in Las Vegas. Both women, homeless and struggling with expired Section 8 vouchers, reached out to him for help. Despite bureaucratic resistance, Canaan advocated on their behalf, convincing the housing office to reinstate their vouchers. His determination and empathy changed their lives, providing them with stable homes for their families.Tips for Developing Faith and Empathy as Strengths:Practice Compassion Daily: Look for opportunities to help others, even in small ways.Advocate Relentlessly: Stand firm for those in need, even when facing resistance.Stay Mission-Focused: Let your values guide your actions, especially in challenging situations.Draw Strength from Faith: Lean into your beliefs to sustain your commitment to doing good.By following Dr. Canaan's example and advice, you can make faith and empathy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

U.S. Gold Corp Chairman Luke Norman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has qualified for inclusion in the prestigious Russell 3000 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, effective after the U.S. market opens on June 30. This development means that U.S. Gold Corp will not only become part of the broader Russell 3000—which encompasses the 3,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization—but will also be included in the Russell 2000, a subset focused on small-cap companies. These indexes are widely recognized benchmarks used by institutional investors, and membership is maintained for one year following inclusion. Norman emphasized that inclusion in these indexes represents a significant achievement for U.S. Gold Corp, underscoring its financial standing and enhancing its visibility among institutional investors, fund managers, and other key market participants. The Russell indexes serve as benchmarks for a wide range of passive and active investment strategies. As of the end of June 2024, approximately $10.6 trillion in assets were benchmarked against the Russell U.S. Indexes, underscoring their influence in the investment world. Norman also provided an update on the CK project. He noted that after releasing a pre-feasibility study in February, US Gold Corp is now moving toward a definitive feasibility study. This next phase will confirm robust project margins and involve securing contracts for construction, as well as bringing new mine management alongside its existing team. Norman emphasized that investors should expect significant news flow during the summer months. In addition to CK, Norman highlighted the Keystone project in Nevada, describing it as a "sleeper" asset with similar geology to Barrick's Cortez complex. He remarked, "everything that is there has indicated to us that there are some monster gold deposits." #proactiveinvestors #usgoldcorp #nasdaq #usau #mining #USGoldCorp #CKGoldProject #GoldMining #CopperMining #WyomingMining #MiningStocks #GeorgeBee #GoldPrice #FeasibilityStudy #JuniorMining #ProactiveInvestors

In this special Father's Day edition of the podcast, I'm joined by my good friend Larry Hagner. While we're focusing on fatherhood, this episode is packed with wisdom for every married couple. From building a stronger marriage, to deepening your connection with your kids, to taking care of your own well-being—Larry shares wisdom that every family can benefit from.   Episode Highlights: Community and support are essential for fathers. The relationship between husband and father roles is interconnected. Children learn about relationships from their parents' marriage. Legacy is built through the relationships we model. Seeking help and resources is a sign of strength.  Intimacy is rooted in emotional connection. Understanding your partner's needs is crucial for intimacy. Sex is a celebration of a strong emotional bond. Being a spiritual leader starts with self-leadership. Proactive planning can enhance relationships. Navigating modern parenting requires open communication. It's okay not to have all the answers as a parent. Learning together with your children strengthens bonds.   Questions for Reflection: Which cultural pressures do we feel most as parents right now, and how can we support each other in responding to them with biblical wisdom? Are there ways we've let parenting take priority over our marriage lately? What small changes could help us reconnect more intentionally as a couple? How do we currently approach discipline and spiritual formation—are we united in our values, and where might we need better alignment or communication? What habits could we build into our week to stay emotionally and spiritually connected—not just as parents, but as husband and wife? What specific Scriptures or practices can help you stay rooted as a father (parent)?   Quotes from Today's Episode:  "It's important to show children how to love well." "Creating a strong family foundation is essential." "I want to feel connected to her. I love her." "What we plan for, we can execute." "We can't put our head in the sand."   Mentioned in this episode: Find Larry's podcast HERE. Connect with Larry on social media. This month's resource is for every couple.

He unpacks the evolving landscape of property investing in the UK, detailing the impact of Section 24 and changes affecting furnished holiday lets.

The UK is experiencing a "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals. Changes to domicile rules are driving an exodus of taxpayers. Losing high earners impacts social services and the average person. The Laffer Curve illustrates optimal tax rates for revenue. Startup entrepreneurs can use VAT thresholds for competitive pricing. Partnerships can optimize income tax by splitting profits. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) offer protection and tax benefits. Tax planning must align with legal entity structure. HMRC scrutinizes property incorporation schemes. Section 24 (Tenant Tax) significantly impacts buy-to-let landlords. Furnished Holiday Lettings tax rules have become less generous. Unmarried couples face distinct capital gains and inheritance tax challenges. Marriage invalidates previous wills in the UK. Pension inheritance tax rules have changed, impacting legacy planning. Proactive tax planning is essential to avoid detrimental surprises. "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail." Sound Bites "Life started from a tax point of view when my mum... went to see her accountant." "The image of accountancy is that it's like men in grey suits and... it's quite boring but it's not at all." "You gotta keep on reading about tax and learning about it." "There seems to be a bit of an exodus from the UK right now." "If the 1% the top 1% go, who's gonna pay the tax?" "You just gotta kind of block out the noise and just keep your eyes focused on whatever it is that you want." "I'm going in there to collect as much as I possibly can." "It's a very YouTube idea, I love it." "Recovery is very important in our sport." "Come as you are, leave as more." "Your struggles are not your limitations." "Bravery is speaking truth to power." "Don't just climb the ladder, create an elevator." "Embracing failure is a powerful gift." "Your will wouldn't have said I leave X to my spouse, 'cause you weren't married before. But now you are." "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail."

Drawing on his extensive experience at DocuSign, Salesforce, Tableau, and VMware, Harvey reveals how he transformed disparate teams into cohesive units through simple but powerful approaches.His mantra? “If you've got 27 priorities, you haven't got any.” By focusing on no more than three clearly ranked objectives, Harvey empowered his team to stay aligned, and say no to distractions. The phrase “Harvey says no” became a cultural shorthand for protecting priorities and staying on mission. We delve into how genuine trust is built within teams. Harvey shares his belief in vulnerability and accessibility, implementing skip-level meetings where team members could speak freely and career development sessions that demonstrated his commitment to their growth. This created psychological safety that allowed honest communication to flourish.Harvey's innovative approaches to breaking down silos include his "pod model" for cross-functional collaboration and strategic use of "stretch projects" that deliberately positioned team members to connect teams.When it comes to conflict, Harvey doesn't shy away. His take? “Partners are like a car accident – everyone slows down to look but no one wants to get involved.” His solution? Proactive education, clear communication channels, and shared understanding of roles and responsibilities.Book PicksRebel Ideas by Matthew Syed – on the power of diverse thinkingThe Culture Map by Erin Meyer – a must-read for navigating global teams.Whether you're managing partners, leading through change, or simply trying to create more effective teams, this episode offers practical wisdom for balancing the human element with unwavering focus on business outcomes.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

Our next guest, Kent Dicks, is revolutionizing this approach as CEO of Life365. With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience and a pioneering legacy in mobile health since 2006, Kent has dedicated his career to transforming reactive healthcare into proactive, predictive care. As a recognized thought leader who has testified before Congress on mHealth solutions for veterans, Kent combines deep technical expertise with an unwavering passion for improving patient outcomes. Through Life365's innovative Digital Health as a Service platform and strategic partnership with Microsoft, he's creating scalable solutions that connect patients, providers, and AI-driven insights seamlessly. Join us to discover how Kent's vision is shifting healthcare upstream, keeping patients healthy at home, and preparing our industry for the coming demographic tsunami. Let's go!Episode Highlights:Healthcare spending will approach $6 trillion by 2027, with 80% of seniors having chronic diseases requiring proactive managementLife365's cellular-enabled devices work "out of the box" without requiring patients to pair Bluetooth or download apps"Hardware is hard, but healthcare is just as hard or harder" - especially for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs expecting to move fastAI will consume healthcare data like nothing before, requiring real-time observations rather than weeks-old electronic health recordsThe VA partnership demonstrates how remote patient monitoring can scale to serve millions while reducing costly emergency interventionsAbout our Guest: Kent E. Dicks is a successful serial entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience providing dynamic and strategic leadership in new and emerging markets. While Dicks has a broad range of experience across several business sectors, he has most recently established himself as one of the true thought leaders in the mHealth (mobile health) space. In 2006, Dicks founded MedApps and immersed himself in the world of healthcare technology. He dedicated himself to improving telehealth systems -- which had shown much promise to benefit the chronic care population worldwide -- with patient-centered solutions that could provide relief to an overburdened healthcare system. While telehealth demonstrated success in improving patient outcomes, widespread adoption was elusive. The existing technology was expensive and complex – especially for the older patient population, which typically consumes the most healthcare dollars. Ubiquity of cellular technology with increasingly lower costs inspired Dicks to develop more automated and cost-effective remote patient monitoring solutions to help care for Medicare and Medicaid populations.Dicks was a leading pioneer in the evolving mHealth field, using dedicated M2M cellular “hubs” to connect patient, providers, and electronic health records. His lower-cost mHealth solutions provided the industry with a much-needed alternative to enable a proactive healthcare model. The consistent flow of accurate, real-time data provided with the MedApps solution gave healthcare professionals the ability to better track the conditions of individuals with chronic disease in order to keep them out of the hospital, intervene when necessary, and avoid expensive admissions and readmissions. Dicks implemented a strategy centered around ease of
