Send us a textAre you ready to grapple with the new NCUA requirement that every credit union have an up to date succession plan that covers both senior executives and board members?The good news: you're not required to have a written plan until January 1, 2026.The bad news: if you don't have a plan by then, or if your plan falls far short of NCUA's expectations, the credit union can be written up by an examiner.On the show is Jeff Paille, partner in The Bonadio Group's Assurance Division, who offers a primer on what every credit union needs to know about this NCUA requirement.And he also talks about what will happen if you simply tell the examiner you haven't gotten a plan together.Incidentally, although the NCUA explicitly flagged mergers triggered by a lack of a succession plan as a prompt for this new requirement, Paille says that a common succession plan at many credit unions is in fact merger.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Starting a business without addressing essential legal requirements is gambling with your future success. In this eye-opening conversation with intellectual property and business attorney Ana Junca, we explore the critical legal foundations every entrepreneur needs to establish from day one.Ana reveals why most entrepreneurs fall into two dangerous categories—the accidental entrepreneur who stumbles into success without preparation, and the intentional but sloppy entrepreneur who plans inadequately. Both approaches create significant vulnerabilities that could destroy your business. She walks us through crafting a comprehensive business plan that satisfies legal requirements while setting you up for financial success.The LLC vs. sole proprietorship debate gets settled once and for all, with Ana providing compelling reasons why an LLC is worth every penny for the protection it offers. We explore the nuances of industry-specific licenses and permits, essential contracts every business needs (from operating agreements to NDAs), and website compliance issues that are leading to costly lawsuits against even the smallest businesses.Perhaps most valuable is Ana's expert guidance on intellectual property protection in the age of AI-generated content. She clarifies the critical differences between trademarks, copyrights, and patents, explaining exactly what entrepreneurs should prioritize based on their business model. When content theft happens, Ana shares the step-by-step approach to effectively address infringement without wasting thousands on unnecessary legal fees.Ready to protect everything you're building?

Defense technology companies in Germany operate in a highly regulated environment that requires careful navigation of various legal requirements. Key regulations include national or EU legislation on handling of defense-related goods and international treaties. The legal landscape is complex: Beyond defense-specific laws, start-ups must also comply with general public law requirements, including building permits and emission protection permits. Besides regulatory requirements that need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, defense start-ups should even at an early stage consider three areas: (i) foreign investment controls when it comes to investments by foreign investors; (ii) export control; and (iii) sanctions related questions. In this three-part series, we'll examine each area in detail: Part I: Navigating Investment Control Regulations for Defense Start-ups in Germany Part II: Understanding Export Control Regulations for Defense Start-ups in Germany Part III: Sanctions Compliance: A Guide for Defense Start-ups in Germany Understanding and complying with these regulations is crucial to avoid severe penalties and ensure successful business operations.

With student needs and workforce demands rapidly evolving, Indiana's 2025 legislation marks a turning point for K-12 education. These new diploma requirements aren't just about credits—they're about preparing students for real life. We'll walk through what's changing, why it matters, and how parents can help their children navigate the new expectations. Whether you have a middle schooler or a rising senior, this episode offers a vital breakdown of how Indiana is rethinking high school to better equip students for a successful future. Key Takeaways: One Diploma, Many Paths: Indiana now offers a flexible base diploma with career, college, or military “readiness seals.” Why It's Needed: Fewer students are attending college, joining the military, or graduating career-ready.

Automatic Acceptance: Students earning the “Honors Plus” seal get automatic acceptance to Indiana colleges. Get Informed: Visit in.gov/doe/diplomas for details and planning tools.

Kim Lisa Taylor and Krisha Young of Syndication Attorneys PLLC welcome Homero Cabello Jr., the Deputy Executive Director at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Homero shares insights from his decades of experience managing affordable housing programs and tax credit compliance that can be applied to projects nationwide. We'll discuss what it takes to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), what entity structures their deals need to qualify, and how LIHTC programs benefit syndicators, investors and low income tenants. This knowledge is perfect for sponsors looking to enter or scale in affordable housing, or looking to maximize cash flow and tax benefits for their existing and future deals. ChaptersIntroduction to LIHTC Programs and Types (00:04:40)Omero Cabello Jr. explained the two types of LIHTC programs: 9% program funding 70% of development costs, and 4% program with tax-exempt bonds funding about 80% of total development costs. He emphasized that each state must follow a qualified allocation plan dictating requirements and rules.Property Qualification and Requirements (00:07:28)Omero detailed that properties must maintain affordability for a minimum 30-year period. The program funds new construction, acquisition rehab, senior housing, and supportive housing for special needs populations. He emphasized their preference for mixed-income developments.Application Process and Common Challenges (00:08:18)Omero outlined that applications can be denied due to failure to meet threshold requirements, incomplete financial projections, and lack of local support. He emphasized the importance of securing resolutions from local government entities and state representatives.Sponsor Requirements and Team Composition (00:11:07)Omero detailed that sponsors must demonstrate experience, financial stability, and knowledge of compliance requirements. He highlighted the value of partnering with nonprofits or historically underutilized businesses.Compliance and Property Management (00:16:19)Omero stressed the importance of partnering with experienced property management companies that understand LIHTC programs and tenant qualification requirements. He mentioned Texas's robust compliance monitoring team overseeing 350,000 doors across 3,000 properties.
In this I'm breaking down the surprising truth about co-ops versus condos in New York City real estate. While co-ops are known as the more affordable option with lower purchase prices, I'll show you the shocking math that reveals they actually require MORE income and cash on hand than their pricier condo counterparts. Through a detailed side-by-side comparison of a $1M co-op and $1.25M condo, I'll expose how co-op down payment requirements, debt-to-income ratios, and post-closing liquidity demands dramatically change the affordability equation.About the Host:Christina Kremidas is a lifelong New Yorker who brings her extensive background in advertising to her successful real estate career in Manhattan.

Today, Jesse is joined by Don McDonald to offer a critical examination of the financial advising and annuity industries, warning retirees and near-retirees about misleading sales tactics that exploit fear - especially the fear of market losses. They emphasize the importance of working with fee-only, fiduciary advisors who are legally obligated to act in clients' best interests, in contrast to commission-based salespeople who often obscure fees, misrepresent guarantees, and use charm to build trust. Drawing from Jason Zweig's “19 Questions to Ask Your Financial Advisor,” Jesse highlights key criteria for evaluating advisors, including transparency, credentials, investment philosophy, and service scope. They condemn opaque fee structures, sales contests, and annuity marketing tactics - like steak dinners that pressure attendees into high-commission products - and describe most annuities as complex, wealth-threatening vehicles. Jesse adds practical suggestions like inquiring about an advisor's succession plan, communication style, and client load, and stresses the value of education and evidence-based investing. The two advocate for comprehensive financial planning and alignment of advisor-client interests, with Don underscoring the importance of commitment to honesty, transparency, and fiduciary duty. Key Takeaways:• Annuity and investment salespeople often exploit retirees' fear of losing money in market downturns to sell high-fee products. • While there are niche use cases, many annuity products are expensive, opaque, and designed to benefit the seller more than the buyer. • You need to know what happens to your financial relationship if your advisor retires or leaves. • State-level oversight often fails to protect consumers from misleading practices. • Know the difference between moral fiduciary responsibility and legal fiduciary responsibility. • It's a red flag if an advisor recommends products they wouldn't use for themselves.

Are Your Expectations Really the Problem — or Is That Just What You've Been Told? Research shows that expectations can be a major source of stress, anxiety, and even the breakdown of trust and respect in our relationships. But let's challenge the tired narrative that women's so-called “too high expectations” are to blame. In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, I flip the script. We take a closer look at the real issue: the difference between expectations (often shaped by social norms and limiting stereotypes) and requirements or standards (which are rooted in self-respect, self-worth, and self-care). The real question isn't, “Are my expectations too high?” It's: “What do I truly require in my relationships—and why?” Spoiler alert: You are allowed—encouraged, even—to set clear, healthy standards for how you want and deserve to be treated. This episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking, stop second-guessing, and start owning your requirements unapologetically. Tune in for a powerful mindset shift—from bending to meet others' comfort zones to boldly honoring your own. Let's stop blaming women for wanting more, and start asking why we've been taught to settle for less. Referenced Episodes: Young Men are Opting Out of Marriage and Relationships. Should We Care?

PRESIDENTIAL VOTING RIGHTSIn a historic vote in the Assembly last week its members overwhelmingly passed by 46 votes to 25 - a motion calling on the Irish government to implement the recommendation of the 2013 Constitutional Convention on the Constitution to extend “the right to vote in elections for President of Ireland to all Irish citizens on the island of Ireland.” The reality of course is that successive Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael governments have deliberately refused to implement this recommendation despite having 12 years to do so.
