Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Facelifts are having a MOMENT. Kris Jenner. Denise Richards. Suddenly every woman over 50 is asking the question out loud: is this what it takes now? Do I need a facelift? Is there a natural alternative that actually works? Facial plastic surgery jumped 19% in 2025. Forty-five percent of surgeons say menopause is what is driving it. Which means somebody needs to be telling us the REAL story, not the marketing one. This episode is with Dr. Anthony Youn, board-certified plastic surgeon known as America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon. He is the most-followed plastic surgeon on the internet with 13 million+ across TikTok and YouTube. He is the author of four bestsellers including Younger For Life and he hosts The Doctor Youn Show. Here is why he is different. He is a surgeon who tells women to AUTOJUVENATE before you operate. Skincare. Supplements. Collagen. Red light. Nutrition. Hormones. THEN, and only then, do we talk procedures. This is the honest midlife conversation about what works, what doesn't, and what is marketing. WE GO DEEP ON Why facelifts have gone mainstream and the Kris Jenner / Denise Richards effect SMAS vs. deep plane vs. ponytail lift, explained in plain English The natural stack that actually works BEFORE surgery (the autojuvenation method) When it IS actually time to consider surgery, and when to wait The simple 6-product skincare routine for every midlife woman Clean skincare: what is real, what is marketing fear Sunscreen truth: mineral vs. chemical, and the brands he actually recommends Collagen supplements: the research, the dose, what to look for on the label Red light therapy: does it actually work, and the masks worth the money Botox honestly: the 2025 CDC counterfeit warning and how to stay safe Filler, pillow face, and why we are in the anti-filler era BBL danger: the deadliest cosmetic surgery and how to lower the risk The ONE thing every midlife woman should do this week This is not a product pitch. This is the conversation that gives you control.

Financial Symmetry: Cluing You In To Financial Opportunities Missed By Most People
Holding a significant portion of your wealth in one or a handful of individual stocks can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. While the rewards of watching a single company's meteoric rise can be life-changing, the risks of a lack of diversification are just as great. The problem is that liquidating these positions often means getting hit with daunting tax bills. We walk through practical solutions and the new tools now available to investors seeking diversification without immediate tax consequences. The Real Risk of Concentration It's tempting to simply hang onto a winning stock, postponing taxes until you're in a lower bracket or retired. But over 90% of stocks underperform the market long term. Individual company fortunes can change abruptly—think Enron, Lehman Brothers, or stock collapses from $50 to $0.50. Banking your whole plan on one company's continued success is a risk that can jeopardize even the soundest of financial plans. Taking calculated steps to shift your assets, even if taxes are due eventually, is often essential for long-term stability. Modern Options for Tackling Concentrated Stock Technology and innovation in the investment industry are opening doors once reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Here are four tax-deferral solutions we discuss: 1. Exchange Funds Exchange funds allow investors to pool their highly appreciated stocks with others, resulting in a diversified basket—often 20–30 stocks. You maintain your original cost basis, and after a 7-year lock-up period, you can access a more diversified portfolio. There are usually high entry minimums ($250,000–$500,000) and the investor must be an accredited. It requires a long holding period and comes with added complexity, costs, and delayed K-1 tax forms. At the end, you still owe taxes if you sell, but you've reduced single-stock risk. 2. Section 351 Funds If you hold several different stocks or even ETFs that no longer fit your strategy, Section 351 exchanges allow you to transfer them into a new, broadly diversified fund with tax deferral. This is similar in spirit to a 1031 real estate exchange but designed for securities. This option gives you flexibility, but it only works with publicly traded investments in taxable (not retirement) accounts 3. Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) SMAs have become popular for allowing greater customization. In an SMA, instead of owning an index fund, you hold the constituent stocks directly—allowing for tax loss harvesting and the exclusion of specific stocks. This offers personalized values-based investing but creates more complex tax reporting and can create complications for you and your CPA. 4. Tax Aware Long/Short Strategies Recently popular but highly complex, these leverage SMAs and add a long/short overlay, aiming to maximize loss harvesting regardless of overall market conditions. This uses leverage and shorting, increasing risk and management costs. It gives greater potential for tax loss harvesting, but introduces tracking error and liquidity constraints. This is best for specific, high-need scenarios. Keep Your Broader Plan in Mind Always return to your broader financial plan. Look at that accumulated stock position in the context of your overall financial plan and everything else that's happening in your goals and life. These tactics are tools, not silver bullets. Sometimes, the simplest (if less glamorous) move—selling, paying taxes, and reinvesting—might be your best decision. Concentrated stock positions can be both an opportunity and a source of anxiety. Before chasing the latest "shiny object," evaluate your situation with the help of an advisor. Find the approach that aligns with your risk, liquidity needs, and long-term goals. Sometimes, boring really is better—for both your taxes and your sleep.

Mike Clarfeld Talks Dividends and Hard Assets on WealthTrack by ClearBridge Investments
A big single-stock win can feel like freedom one day and a tightrope the next. This plan walks through how a family holding ~$15M in NVIDIA shares can turn concentrated success into stable, low-stress wealth—without torching liquidity on taxes.Start with the only question that matters: How much diversified capital is needed to fund a confident lifestyle?Reverse-engineer that number, then use precise tools to reach it, keeping meaningful upside while lowering single-stock risk.What's inside this episode: - Decide your lifestyle floor first: Define the minimum diversified capital required to fund spending needs with confidence.- Complement, don't duplicate: Use separately managed accounts (SMAs) to add what's missing so exposure isn't stacked on top of NVDA, Apple, and Amazon.- Create tax “ammo”: Systematic tax-loss harvesting and long/short SMAs to build a reservoir of losses that can offset gains when trimming the position.- Account coordination, not silos: Asset location that overweights missing exposures—international, small caps, real assets—inside 401(k)/403(b) to hit global targets while cutting tax drag.- Optimize NVIDIA employee benefits: Mega backdoor Roth contributions paired with a generous 401(k) match for higher tax-advantaged compounding.- Thoughtful de-risking: Selective pruning vs. selling everything—manage taxes, sequence risk, and liquidity step by step.- Advanced tools, clear trade-offs: Exchange funds, covered-call overlays for selective income, and charitable gifting of appreciated shares via donor-advised funds.- Portfolio-level management: Make decisions across all accounts, not account-by-account.- Graduate from accumulation to optimization: Shift the focus to risk control, tax efficiency, and reliable cash-flow.Who this helps- NVIDIA employees with RSUs/ESPP and sizable NVDA exposure- Founders and tech execs holding concentrated single-stock positions- Anyone looking to diversify without a massive tax bill and buy long-term peace of mindThe bottom line— fund the lifestyle floor with diversified assets so one ticker never dictates your future, or your mood.--Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

The NCO Corps does not need compliant Soldiers. It needs committed warfighters. On this episode of the Your Next Mission® video podcast, 12th Sergeant Major of the Army (R) Jack L. Tilley sits down with 17th Sergeant Major of the Army Michael R. Weimer to break down exactly what turns compliance into commitment and why the difference is the why. Two SMAs. Zero filters. The truth that every Soldier, NCO, Veteran and Military Family needs to hear right now. SMA Weimer said it straight. "You could be really fit, really tough, and still be a one trick leader". And in 2026 that is not enough. The NCO Corps needs Soldiers who are adaptive, curious, continuously learning and committed from the inside out. Not because they have to be. Because they understand why they should be.These two leaders go beyond the manual to discuss merit-based retention, Transforming in Contact, and how the Army is using Artificial Intelligence to update doctrine at light speed. Whether you are an active duty NCO or a Veteran transitioning to civilian life, this is the "No Filter" truth about the state of the force.What you will hear in this episodeWhy SMA Weimer says brilliance at the basics is the only foundation that makes technology lethalHow Transforming in Contact is putting new equipment directly into the hands of Soldiers and taking real time feedback on the spotWhy the Army's new merit-based retention strategy is finally rewarding committed Soldiers instead of treating everyone the sameWhat the journey from compliance to commitment actually looks like across a 20 to 30 year careerWhy adaptability and continuous learning are the most critical skills for the NCO of 2026 and beyondHow Combined Arms Center is using artificial intelligence to update doctrine and training at a speed this Army has never seen beforeWhat SMA Weimer witnessed at minus 20 degrees in Alaska that made him proud of this generation of NCOsWhy the warrior mindset that made you successful in uniform will make you successful the day you take it offThe honest truth about barracks healthcare and food strategy and what Army leadership is doing about it right nowWhy leaders who explain the why are the ones who turn compliant Soldiers into committed war fightersWhat both SMAs say every young Sergeant must master that is completely different from what was required of their generationHow home station training before CTC rotations is transforming readiness across the entire forceWhy you cannot be a one trick leader in today's Army and what that means for your career right nowWhat SMA Weimer means when he says the Army is on a war path to eliminate ridiculous rules so Soldiers can train and fightWhat is the difference between a compliant Soldier and a committed Soldier?How do Army leaders build commitment in their Soldiers?What does SMA Weimer say about NCO leadership in 2026?How do you turn a compliant Soldier into a committed war fighter?What is merit-based retention and how is the Army changing it?How does the Army use artificial intelligence in NCO training today?What is Transforming in Contact and how does it impact Soldiers?What skills does a sergeant need in 2026 that were never required before?How do you build trust with this generation of Soldiers?What is the journey from compliance to commitment in the Army?How is the Army updating doctrine faster using artificial intelligence?What did SMA Weimer say about NCO grit and the next generation?How does home station training prepare Soldiers before CTC rotations?What is Combined Arms Center doing with artificial intelligence right now?What does every battalion Sergeant Major need to be doing before a Soldier reaches their ETS window?How does the warrior mindset translate from military service to civilian life?What is the Army doing about barracks healthcare and food strategy for Soldiers and Families?How do you go from one enlistment to 20 plus years of committed service?

Tax-managed equity has evolved beyond the traditional long-only playbook. By adding selective shorts and leverage, 130/30 active extension strategies aim to unlock higher alpha while maintaining market-level beta—plus potentially meaningful after-tax benefits through disciplined loss harvesting.

I am honored to connect with board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Berry Fairchild, today. Dr. Fairchild blends surgical precision with artistry to create natural, lasting results. Known for her expertise in facial aesthetics and complex breast surgery, she is also deeply committed to philanthropy and ongoing international surgical missions. In our discussion, we explore how societal expectations shape how women perceive themselves, the complex process of facial aging, and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle in supporting these changes. Dr. Fairchild highlights the essential elements of effective skin care, including hydration and sunscreen, and the use of retinoids, lasers, microneedling, neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid, fillers, and fat transfers, diving into the role of surgery and the value of conversations around various facial and body procedures. She also shares strategies for optimizing post-surgical recovery and how philanthropy has shaped both her personal and professional journeys. Stay tuned for a truly enlightening conversation with Dr. Berry Fairchild, who is caring and open-minded about listeners' questions regarding the aging process and ways to address an aging face and body.
