Financial planning is a service-based business. You're selling the invisible. It can't be seen, touched or experienced before buying. Prospects are forced to search for other ways to evaluate the value of working with you (most of which are NOT great options to inform such an important decision!). Fortunately, Michael Lecours, a financial advisor and co-founder of fpPathfinder, joined the show to explain the challenges of communicating the value of an intangible service and share specific ideas to make the financial planning experience more tangible.

If you want to grow your advisory business by bringing on new clients, you have to get three things right: Your marketing, messaging and meetings. Marketing: You have to attract the right prospects and repel the wrong ones. Messaging: You have to connect with the prospect.

The team discussed the key highlights from the recent January training for RFG franchisees, including: Spending ~2 hours on active listening and communication skills, using interactive games to demonstrate how often people get distracted or stop listening Incorporating humor and personal stories into a presentation on the importance of providing detailed estimates, with the "Top 10 Worst Estimate Requests" being a hit Conducting a "blind spot" exercise where franchisees interviewed close business partners to get feedback on areas for improvement The group explored the nuances of building a personal brand versus a business brand on social media. Key points included: Avoiding oversharing personal financial details or victories, as that can backfire and distract from the core business message Positioning oneself more as a spokesperson for the contracting.com brand, rather than the individual, to maintain authenticity and focus Leveraging the team's expertise and stories to create valuable content, rather than just the founder's personal narrative Recognizing that a smaller but highly engaged following is often more valuable than a large but disinterested audience The discussion shifted to the importance of cultivating a "stakeholder" mentality rather than just optimizing for shareholder metrics like follower count. Key insights included: Viewing the audience as stakeholders in the contracting.com mission, rather than just passive consumers Drawing parallels to Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, where the brand and mission have outlasted the individual Recognizing that some followers may actually be detrimental if they don't align with the core values and vision Focusing on building a cult-like following of true believers, rather than just maximizing vanity metrics The group explored the potential impact of contracting.com's mission to raise industry standards, including: Short-term benefits to customers but potential long-term backlash from contractors if the bar is raised too quickly Risks of a "race to the bottom" as contractors try to undercut each other, leading to consolidation and capital intensity The need to carefully manage the pace of change to avoid alienating the existing contractor base while still driving progress The meeting concluded with a recap of the key takeaways and next steps, including: Amer committing to position himself more as a spokesperson for the contracting.com brand rather than just a personal brand Exploring ways to leverage the team's expertise and stories to create valuable content, rather than just the founder's narrative Maintaining a stakeholder-focused mindset and cultivating a highly engaged, mission-aligned audience rather than just optimizing for vanity metrics Carefully managing the pace of industry disruption to avoid alienating the existing contractor base while still driving progress
As Betterment's Director of Behavioral Science, Dan Egan knows that understanding human behavior is key to your client's financial success. But knowing that's true and knowing what to do about it are two different things. There are a lot of opinions thrown around in the behavioral finance space on what works and what doesn't. And you probably don't want to “test” some of these ideas on clients you hope to work with for 10-30 years. For years, Dan has been testing behavioral finance interventions to figure out what actually works (and what is a waste of time). In this episode, he reveals proven ideas you can implement to enhance your client's outcomes without having to go through your own trial-and-error process.

A flashback to the "wilderness years" between the end of Extreme Ghostbusters and the "Answer the Call" reboot - 2012 marked the year host of the prolific and informative pop culture podcast "The Chronic Rift" John S. Drew talked to Jay and "Mr. Sci-Fi" Marc Scott Zicree (author of some of the best episodes of The Real Ghostbusters) about the legacy of the franchise and why the animated series was so important to the enduring appeal of the original concept developed by Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis. Zicree talks about the process of writing stories for The Real Ghostbusters back in the 1990s as one of the key writers under J. Michael Straczynski while Jay manages to hold back most of his fanboy glee talking about what the series meant to him growing up. Fortunately, no hosts or screenwriters were roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day. Thanks to John Drew for allowing RFG to use this interesting conversation.

I really had not expected to get into this as deeply as we did, and this should have been a Radio Free Geneva, but be that as it may...we looked at the new film against -Once Saved, Always Saved,- listened to the opening section, talked about the necessary background issues, and then looked at the film's vain attempt to get around Romans 8.

With Dr. Jordan Hutchison | VP of Technology | Financial Planning & Behavioral Finance Adjunct Professor | Podcast Host | BIO: Dr. Jordan Hutchison, a leading figure in financial technology and planning, serves as the Vice President of Technology at RFG Advisory and an adjunct professor at Kaplans College for Financial Planning. With a wealth of experience, numerous certifications, and advanced degrees, Jordan focuses on pushing RFG to the forefront of wealth technology. He collaborates with advisors to integrate cutting-edge solutions, cultivate relationships with industry leaders, and innovate strategies that elevate both client and advisor experiences. Jordan also hosts the RFG Disruption Blueprint podcast's monthly feature, Game Film with Dr. J, where he explores topics at the intersection of technology, education, and innovation in the financial industry. Why You Should Listen: Dr. Hutchison as he explores the question "What Makes Life Worth Living?" through the lens of financial planning. Dr. Hutchinson discusses the concept of flow and its integration into financial planning. Flow is a state of deep absorption that is intrinsically motivating, has clear goals, and provides immediate feedback. It is a unique and fulfilling experience found in various aspects of life, including work and personal activities. Understanding flow can help individuals navigate life transitions and find fulfillment. Integrating flow into financial planning involves having conversations about what makes life worth living and identifying activities that bring engagement and enjoyment. Flow can enhance overall well-being and contribute to a meaningful and fulfilling life. The conversation explores the concept of flow and its impact on well-being, relationships, and financial decisions. It emphasizes the importance of finding flow in various aspects of life and being purposeful in creating opportunities for flow. The chapters cover topics such as the impact of flow on well-being, the power of play and simple pleasures, the spillover effect of flow, flow in work and relationships, flow in group engagement, and understanding the rhythm of life. Takeaways Flow is not just a pleasant experience, but it also has a positive impact on wellbeing and happiness. Play and simple pleasures can be sources of flow and happiness. Flow can have a spillover effect, leading to more energy and vigor in other areas of life. Finding flow in work and relationships can enhance fulfillment and happiness. Group engagement can create flow experiences. Being purposeful and intentional in creating opportunities for flow is important. Understanding the rhythm of life and balancing saving and experiencing life's pleasures is crucial for a happy and healthy relationship with money.

Managed to do an RFG while on the road as I do long days to get home to Phoenix. Took the time to explain and refute Nick Craig's -in depth- interpretation of Ephesians that tells us that verses 3 through 12 are only about the Apostles, not about regular believers. Then we looked at little bit at Acts 13-48, and a bit at a deranged Twitter account opposed to Calvinism. Nearly 80 minutes today.

An hour and 45 minutes on Radio Free Geneva today, starting to look at Jason Breda's video "exegeting" John 6. Brother Breda claims to have been "a Calvinist for ten years," and is now producing videos exposing this "lie of the enemy." Well, he attempted to walk through John 6 (give him credit!), and we are reviewing that attempt. Had to deal with a lot of Greek today because brother Breda makes claims based upon the original language that, well, are more than just slightly fallacious. We will either do another RFG to finish up, or make it a sub-portion of a future Dividing Line.

That's why I can't wait for you to hear from her as we discuss: Her backstory – from a 14-year old girl already dreaming of working on Wall Street to making her place in this male-dominated industry The breaking point that led her to step away from her dream job and finance altogether How that break reenergized her and redirected her back to the investment world where she found true passion and purpose at RFGMore about Shannon:Shannon is President of RFG Advisory, a $4.5B wealth management platform who just took on an equity partner with a vision of revolutionizing the game. RFG was built by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs – advisors who have a touch of rebel in their DNA. - - - Thank you to our Billion Dollar Backstory podcast sponsor: Ultimus Fund Solutions.
