In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Stephen Seckler discuss:How lawyers can better align their personalities with business developmentNavigating career transitions within the legal professionHow meaningful networking creates long-term career momentumLeveraging authenticity and consistency to build a professional brand Key Takeaways:Lawyers who struggle with traditional selling can ease into business development by focusing on small, genuine actions like reconnecting with familiar contacts and writing about subjects they care about.Clarifying which types of clients, cases, and activities energize or drain you is an essential first step before deciding where and how to focus your marketing efforts.The most productive networking conversations happen when lawyers ask clear, focused questions, such as “What's a good introduction for you?”—and balance listening with intentional follow-up.Professionals can avoid wasting time in aimless meetings by preparing a loose agenda beforehand, staying focused on mutual goals, and knowing what specific outcome they want to achieve by the end of each interaction. "You don't have to have an entrepreneurial mindset to act with entrepreneurial intent." —  Stephen Seckler Unlock the secrets of rainmaking success—join Steve Fretzin and four powerhouse legal experts for Be That Lawyer LIVE on August 27; reserve your spot now at fretzin.com/events. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

SummaryIn the latest episode of Service Evolution, host Jim Robinson sits down with powerhouse marketer and marketing director of IDIQ, Sarah Williams, to unravel the unique challenges and strategies for marketing in the trades. With decades of industry experience and a proven track record, Sarah delivers a goldmine of actionable insights for business owners looking to level up their marketing game.One central theme is the gap that trade professionals often face when bridging hands-on expertise with modern marketing best practices. As Sarah points out, knowing your craft inside and out doesn't automatically translate into knowing how to run meta ads, execute effective email campaigns, or navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape. She emphasizes the importance of targeting marketing efforts locally, since most trade businesses serve specific geographic areas where word-of-mouth and community relationships still reign supreme.Additionally, Sarah and Jim dive deep into how the trades differ from other industries, especially when it comes to urgency-based buying and the need for immediate solutions. They explore the pitfalls of trying to do it all yourself, warning against spreading your efforts too thin across every marketing channel. Instead, Sarah recommends focusing on one or two platforms that best reach your target audience.The episode also offers a reality check on trade show investments, the value of strategic planning, and actionable tips for smaller companies to compete with larger players. With humor and real-world anecdotes, Sarah wraps up by stressing that marketing is a long game built on relationships, consistency, and a willingness to stand out, even in unexpected ways.

This week on the show, we're discussing the specifics of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) as we head into the second half of 2025. Whether you're approaching your first year of RMDs or have been taking them for a while, I break down everything you need to know, from when you need to start taking distributions based on your birth year, to how RMDs are calculated, which accounts are affected, and the potential tax consequences for missing a withdrawal. I'm also sharing eight practical strategies you can use to lower your future RMDs, including asset diversification, Roth conversions, tax-efficient income planning, optimizing Social Security timing, and even using charitable contributions to your advantage. With real-world examples and actionable tips, this episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to navigate their retirement withdrawals as tax-efficiently as possible.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [02:48] Calculating your Required Minimum Distribution. [05:02] IRA distribution factors & penalties. [10:40] Retirement tax strategy tips. [13:35] IRA conversion tax planning. [15:37] Optimizing social security timing. [18:48] Tax-efficient investment account strategy. Smart Strategies to Manage Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)  New rules over the past few years have pushed back when retirees must start taking RMDs. As of today: If you were born in 1959 or earlier, your RMDs begin at age 73. If you were born in 1960 or later, the threshold moves to age 75. RMDs apply to traditional IRAs, rollover IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and most employer-sponsored plans, including 401(k)s and 403(b)s. Importantly, Roth IRAs are not subject to these mandatory withdrawals during the owner's lifetime, providing an attractive planning opportunity. How RMDs Are Calculated Your annual RMD is determined by dividing the prior year's December 31 retirement account balance by a life expectancy factor from IRS tables. Most people use the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table. If your spouse is more than 10 years younger, you get a slightly lower withdrawal requirement by using the Joint Life Expectancy Table. For example, if you are 73 with a $500,000 IRA, and the IRS factor is 26.5, your RMD would be $18,868 for that year. If you miss your RMD, penalties can be steep, 25% of the amount not withdrawn, though if corrected within two years, the penalty drops to 10%. RMDs are generally taxed as ordinary income. If your IRA contains after-tax contributions, those aren't taxed again, but careful tracking is essential. The key is smart, proactive planning. RMDs increase your total taxable income, which can impact not just your IRS bill, but also Medicare premiums (thanks to the “IRMAA” surcharge) and eligibility for certain state tax breaks. Eight Strategies to Lower RMD Impact Here are several tactics to help retirees minimize RMDs' sting and keep more of their wealth working for them: Diversify Account Types Early Don't keep all retirement savings in pre-tax accounts. Consider a mix of pre-tax, Roth, and taxable brokerage accounts so you have flexibility in retirement to optimize withdrawals for tax purposes. Build an Optimized Retirement Income Plan Work with a financial advisor or CPA to design an intentional strategy for sourcing retirement income. With careful planning, you can potentially lower how much tax you'll owe and avoid unwelcome surprises. Do Roth Conversions When Taxes Are Low If you retire before collecting Social Security (and RMDs), you might have years of low taxable income, prime time to convert part of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA at a low tax rate. Once in the Roth, future qualified withdrawals are tax-free. Delay Social Security for Strategic Reasons Delaying Social Security not only increases your monthly benefit but also gives you more low-income years for Roth conversions, thus reducing future RMDs. Consider Working Longer If you continue working past RMD age and participate in your employer's retirement plan, you may be able to delay RMDs from that plan until you retire (as long as you don't own more than 5% of the company). Aggregate and Simplify Accounts Roll over old 401(k) accounts into a single IRA if eligible. It's easier to track, calculate, and satisfy RMDs, reducing the risk of costly missteps. Optimize Asset Location Hold faster-growing investments (like stocks) in taxable accounts and slower-growing ones (like bonds) in IRAs. This helps slow the growth of your RMD-producing accounts, keeping future required withdrawals smaller. Use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) Once you're RMD-eligible, you can send up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to charity. It will count toward your RMD but won't be taxed, potentially a win-win for you and your favorite causes.

In a recent investor gathering organised by The Smart Property Investment Show, Arjun Paliwal from InvestorKit sat with Phil Tarrant to share his journey from CBA branch manager to successful property investor, offering sharp insights rooted in banking and data-driven strategy. Arjun explained that his move into real estate was driven by curiosity and a strong belief in the power of data, reflected in his early success investing in Tasmania. He described Australia's $11.4 trillion property market as stable, noting that while investor sentiment fluctuates with interest rates, local supply and demand ultimately shape outcomes. Arjun's investment approach categorises markets into early adopters, hotspots, and second-wind zones, allowing investors to tailor their strategies to evolving conditions. He also highlighted the rising use of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) for property investing, emphasising the need for careful planning and diversification. Overall, Arjun stressed that blending data, strategy, and flexibility is key to thriving in today's dynamic property market.

The Rush for Early CertificationIn Episode 79 of the Insurance Business Babes podcast, hosts Joanna Wyckoff and Kathe Kline emphasize a time-sensitive issue for agents: annual certification season is here, and this year, it's more important than ever to get it done early. With sweeping industry changes, particularly around MAPDs, and PDPs, waiting until the last minute could seriously jeopardize your business. Delays in certification reporting can easily make agents “not ready to sell” when the season kicks off, resulting in missed opportunities and unhappy clients. As Kathe puts it: “You cannot wait this year, folks. There are so many changes.”Smart Strategies for Getting It DoneProcrastination is the enemy. Joanna recommends blocking certification time into your calendar now—before life inevitably intervenes. Whether it's illness, a family emergency, or a tech blackout, leaving certifications to the last minute is risky. Schedule recurring blocks, tackle certifications carrier by carrier, and consider a Google Sheet to keep track of your progress. For those juggling multistate contracts, breaking it into manageable pieces is a lifesaver. And don't forget to use this opportunity to update all your carrier contact information.Organizing for Sanity: Tech & Email HacksOverwhelmed by the flood of carrier emails and events? Joanna suggests setting up a dedicated carrier-only email account to keep critical messages visible while filtering out the noise. The duo also discuss leveraging AI and tools like Fixer.AI to sort, filter, and even auto-respond to routine communications—though no tool is perfect, and human oversight remains essential.Weatherproof Your BusinessLife happens: tornadoes, internet outages, demanding clients, or simple burnout. Both hosts remind agents to plan for the unexpected, leaving margin in your schedule so last-minute problems don't snowball into missed deadlines. Embrace automation, use online booking links for client appointments, and practice with new technology before AEP so you aren't scrambling during the busiest time of the year.Final Thoughts: Adapt and ThriveThe insurance landscape is shifting dramatically, with premium increases and commission changes on the horizon. Now is the time to diversify product offerings, sharpen your workflow, and cement your status as a trusted advisor. As Joanna says: “Work smarter, not harder.” Get those certifications done early, stay organized, and set your business up for success in this challenging new environment.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

The Importance of Values Over Goals: "That goal might shift or change a little bit as life circumstances change, but usually your values as a person are not changing. What is most important to you, your why isn't changing." Ben HoegerWe sit down with returning guest Ben Hoeger, Director at the Hedley Hoeger Group at Baird Private Wealth Management, to help us navigate the unpredictable world of personal finance.

Building better businesses is the focus of this season of the Building Better Developers podcast. As the show wraps up, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche reflect on what it truly takes to grow and sustain a successful business. With episodes packed full of real-world advice, the season offered an honest look at the balance between managing operations and planning for long-term growth. Whether you're running a startup or scaling a consulting firm, the challenges discussed this season are highly relatable, and the insights are actionable. Smart Strategies for Building Better Businesses This season delivered a broad spectrum of ideas—from improving customer support systems to deciding when to hire or outsource. Rob and Michael emphasized both short-term wins and longer-term initiatives that can set a business on a more sustainable path. “It's all about making your business better—whether that's better processes or better planning.” – Rob Broadhead By encouraging listeners to apply lessons week by week, the season became a roadmap for identifying and fixing critical business gaps. Automation and Resetting for Business Focus One of the season's strongest messages came from Michael's personal experience: getting stuck in the day-to-day grind. Like many tech-focused founders, he spent so much time coding and serving clients that back-office responsibilities were pushed aside. “You have to reset. I was doing the work, but I wasn't taking care of the business.” – Michael Meloche Turning off notifications and eliminating distractions helped him reclaim time and focus on strategic areas, such as hiring, finances, and operations. Challenge-Based Insights for Better Growth Each episode featured a unique challenge—practical steps like refreshing your website or reviewing your marketing channels. Rob noted that simply blocking calendar time to work on these areas made a noticeable difference. These challenges weren't theoretical—they were tools for building structure and momentum in a growing business. By applying even one challenge a week, listeners could steadily improve their systems and habits. Work-Life Balance and Building Better Businesses Another theme that resonated strongly was the need for rest and recovery. Michael shared his struggle with feeling guilty for taking time off, only to find that stepping away actually increased his productivity. “If you don't take care of yourself, it's like skipping oil changes—eventually the engine gives out.” – Michael Meloche This conversation reinforced that health and mindset are just as crucial to a business as any product or service. Remote Work and Office Culture As businesses shift post-pandemic, the debate over remote vs. in-office work persists. Rob and Michael explored the trade-offs of both environments, acknowledging that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. “You need to do what's right for the business, the team, and the customer.” – Michael Meloche Balancing flexibility with connection is an ongoing challenge that every business must navigate in alignment with its mission and culture. Final Thoughts: Keep Building Better Businesses Every Day Rob closed the episode with a powerful reminder: every business is a living system with competing demands. Just like software, it requires constant attention, updates, and realignment to continue functioning properly. “There's a business-business balance too—not just work-life balance. Find your ‘why,' and let it guide your decisions.” – Rob Broadhead Not every episode will apply to every business stage, but together, they form a comprehensive guide for those committed to growth and leadership.

In this episode, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin and Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions delve into the complexities of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for retirement accounts like traditional IRAs and 401(k)s. They discuss the timing, calculation, and strategies for managing RMDs to avoid surprise tax bills and unnecessary withdrawals. The discussion includes real-life client scenarios and emphasizes the importance of strategic planning, early Roth conversions, and qualified charitable distributions. The goal is to prepare listeners approaching retirement to manage RMDs efficiently and minimize tax impacts. http://retirewithmartin.com/

Tyler Hafford and Hannah Tackett break down three powerful tax-efficient investing strategies—Roth conversions, tax-loss harvesting, and asset location—in this year-end planning episode of Dollars to Dreams. With relatable explanations and smart examples, they show how being intentional with your investments and account types can reduce tax drag and boost long-term growth. Whether you're managing a dip in the market or planning for retirement, these strategies help you keep more of what you earn. You'll learn:   Roth Conversions – When and why to consider converting traditional retirement dollars to Roth accounts for tax-free growth. Tax-Loss Harvesting – How realizing losses can help offset gains or income and reduce your current year's tax bill. Asset Location – Optimizing where your investments live to limit tax exposure while maintaining the same overall portfolio. Takeaways: [03:05] – “Taxes are one of the biggest drags on investment performance.” – Why tax-efficient investing matters for long-term gains. [07:12] – Roth conversions explained – Ideal during low-income years, especially before RMDs or during early retirement. [13:40] – Tax-loss harvesting strategy – Offset gains or reduce income by realizing losses during dips, rebalancing, or year-end planning. [18:28] – Asset location insight – Place tax-inefficient investments (like bonds) in IRAs and tax-efficient ones (like index funds) in brokerage accounts. [21:45] – “Review asset location regularly.” – Keeping your portfolio efficient isn't just a one-time setup—it's an ongoing process. Got questions?

If you've been feeling discouraged about your blog traffic lately, you're not alone. In this episode of Creatives on Fire, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really happening with blog traffic in 2025—and giving you five smart strategies to take back control. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode197 How to Get More Blog Traffic I was originally going to cover a different topic this week, but after hearing so many creators talk about low traffic, broken platforms, and general burnout, I had to hit pause and share what I've personally been working through—and how I'm turning it around. Let's talk about what matters, what doesn't, and what you can actually do to get your blog traffic moving again. First: Don't Fall for the Comparison Game It's easy to feel lost when all the voices around you are saying different things. Google is broken, Pinterest is dead, Facebook is hiding links—it's enough to make any blogger feel like giving up. But the truth is, numbers don't lie. So that's where I went—to my Google Analytics. When I compared my year-to-date stats from 2024 to 2025, here's what I found: Sessions were down 20% Pageviews were down a shocking 50% Ouch. That was a wake-up call. But it also gave me clarity. Sessions are mostly out of my control. Pageviews? That's on me. Sessions vs. Pageviews: What's the Difference? If you're not familiar with these terms: Sessions = Visitors arriving at your site (they showed up to the dance) Pageviews = The number of pages they visited (how many people they danced with) So while platforms control a lot of traffic volume (sessions), you control what happens once people land on your site. That's where the pageviews come in—and that's where you can make a huge impact. How to Improve Your Blog's Page Speed Before diving into pageview tactics, I looked at what I could do to improve page speed, which still plays a huge role in search and user experience. Here's what I did: Audited my plugins to remove outdated or unnecessary tools Replaced and optimized my image compression plugin (I now use ShortPixel, which found 1,200 images that needed more compression) Even small improvements to your blog's speed can help platforms like Google and Pinterest want to send more traffic your way. 5 Smart Strategies to Increase Blog Pageviews Once I optimized the tech side, I moved on to what I could do to increase pageviews—the number that is in our control. These five strategies are what I'm actively working on now. 1. Restructure Your Blog for Simpler Navigation When readers land on your homepage or a post, can they immediately tell what you're about and where to go next? Clear navigation, especially with buttons that lead to categories (like “See All Crafts” or “Browse Recipes”), is key. 2. Connect Your Orphan Posts Go find the blog posts that aren't linked to anything else—SEO tools like Ahrefs can help. Either delete them if they don't align with your brand, or link them meaningfully into related content to keep readers clicking. 3. Add Prompts to Explore More Think: “See all fall posts” or “Get more lemon dessert ideas.” Use bold call-to-action buttons early in your post to send them to your category or roundup pages. The more paths they can follow, the more pageviews you'll get. 4. Include a ‘Start Here' Block Toward the top of your post, include a reusable block that says “New here? Start here.” Link it to a curated welcome page with your top categories, opt-ins, and reader favorites. Help new visitors instantly know how to explore. 5. Introduce a Weekly or Ongoing Series Give readers a reason to keep coming back. It could be: A 5-week project like “5 Weeks to a Porch Makeover” A two-part post (before & after) A weekly roundup of your own posts, styled for Pinterest or seasonal trends You could even turn your weekly content into a newsletter hook: “Get this week's top DIYs straight to your inbox!” The Bottom Line: Don't Panic—Make a Plan If traffic is down, take a deep breath. Stop listening to the noise and go check your own analytics. Is it sessions? Pageviews? Once you know, you can act. And that's powerful. Because blogging isn't dead—but it is evolving. And it's our job to evolve with it. Give your blog a tune-up. Guide your readers more clearly. And most importantly, keep showing up consistently. Until next time, stay creative.
