From the calling of Levi the tax collector to the encounter with the rich young ruler, we'll explore what it means to truly respond to God's call and not just appear religious on the outside.
Dr. Friday highlights two new rules: an added deduction for seniors and new reporting requirements for qualified tips. Transcript G'day, I'm Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday's Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. There are a few things we want to go over. First, there's a new senior deduction. I keep talking about it, but I want everyone to understand that's $6,000 per person that's 65 and older, deduction part of your standard deduction. Second would be up to $25,000. Qualified tips are deductible. Again, this has to be reportable. Your AGI cannot exceed over $300,000 if married, $150,000 if single. And it has to be something that has been reported on your income tax. It's not something you can just say, “Oh yeah, I'm sure I collected $25,000.” It's not gonna fly. Questions? 615-367-0819. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

Still donating from after-tax dollars? Dr. Friday explains how a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can save you money while supporting your favorite causes. Transcript G'day, I'm Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday's Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Qualified charitable deductions. I still don't think enough people understand those. Now, given that they keep changing the dates when people have to take the required minimum distributions, but in many cases, people pay money out of their pocket every month to their charity or their church, and that's after-tax dollars. Whereas if you are receiving qualified required minimum distributions, you can then take that money, have it directly sent to your charity, and pay zero tax. Called a QCD. You need to know more about this? Talk to us at 615-367-0819. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
This episode of Pipeline Visionaries features an interview with Rodrigo Maroni, Head of U.S. at Winnin, the cultural intelligence platform that reveals actionable insights to grow your brand's cultural relevance exponentially. Rodrigo shares why culture is the invisible hand guiding B2B consumer decisions, why chasing trends won't make brands relevant, and how predictive cultural data uncovers unexpected audience opportunities.Quotes We don't track things like share of voice. Really I believe that this is an outdated metric. You are only measuring your intent, not your outcome. So we use a metric we develop called share of attention. Share of attention is really a metric that takes into account, the output in there, the effect, the impact that you make in your audience.We are measuring the end game, not the starting game, so you get a real pulse on what's working.Key TakeawaysCulture drives growth. Every purchase decision is culturally influenced, even in B2B. Don't chase trends. Predict cultural moments and map “cultural categories” to get ahead.Hidden audiences = growth. Insights from behavioral data can reveal unexpected segments like sneakerheads for cleaning products.Measure what matters. Share of attention captures true cultural impact, unlike outdated share of voice metrics.Episode Timestamps(05:49) The Trust Tree: Collecting behavioral data(21:38) The Playbook: Developing cultural intelligence reports (30:19) Dust up: Navigating gaps in metrics (31:05) Quick hits: Rodrigo's Quick HitsSponsorPipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

California is quietly bringing back asset limits for Medi-Cal long-term care coverage in 2026, and current recipients could be in for a devastating surprise. Here's what's happening: California eliminated asset limits for elderly and disabled Medi-Cal recipients in 2024, but those limits are returning in 2026. If you currently receive long-term care Medi-Cal benefits, when you submit your annual eligibility report next year, you could lose your coverage if your assets exceed the new limits. In this critical episode, estate planning attorney Kirsten Howe explains the $130,000 asset limit returning for single individuals, why 2025 is your last opportunity to transfer assets without penalties, and the difference between regular Medi-Cal and long-term care Medi-Cal coverage. She also covers exactly which assets will count against you, which are exempt, and essential planning strategies to protect your benefits before the deadline.

Being “Qualified” Won't Get You Hired I Gina Riley This week, Gina Riley isn't pulling any punches – teasing out the highlights of her new book, Qualified Isn't Enough. We leave nothing behind, cracking open with the truths most executives don't want to hear—but need to: Why résumés are an illusion – receipts, not strategies. The blind spots that sabotage even the best pedigrees. Why thought leadership, not passion, is the new differentiator. Why the final round is where most leaders fail. Gina has sat inside the boardroom, trained execs, and built a system to move you from overlooked to undeniable. If being “qualified” was enough, you'd be hired.
