Over 1,200 beautifully refreshed faces speak for themselves. With his 30+ years of experience helping people achieve their dream facelift results, San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Johan Brahme cuts through the marketing hype around mini, SMAS, and deep plane facelifts, explaining who they're best for and what truly matters when choosing a procedure.It's not about the type of facelift—it's about the surgeon's skill and artistic eye. It's about loving your result, no matter how you got there.Forget the idea that facelifts are only for a certain age. It's all about skin quality, not your birth year. Dr. Brahme shares why getting a facelift in your 40's instead of your 70's can be a game-changer, giving you more time to enjoy the results.Because everyone ages differently, he maps out a personalized game plan, often combining a facelift with fat transfer, eyelid surgery, a lip lift, or a brow lift for best results.Want to make your facelift last longer? Curious about the risks and how common they are? He breaks it all down, including how he customizes facelifts for men, considering facial hair, anatomy, and short hairstyles.LinksView facelift before and after results by Dr. BrahmeMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Johan BrahmeLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic, the 20x winner of the Best of San Diego and global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, where dreams become real.

Episode 089: Molly Weiss, Group President of Wealth Platforms at Envestnet, is a 20-year financial services veteran who drives Envestnet's end-to-end technology and solutions ranging from portfolio management, financial planning, performance reporting, and digital account management tools. Over her tenure at Envestnet, she has played a pivotal role in shaping scalable solutions that empower advisors to serve clients more effectively.  In this episode, Kyle and Molly explore the critical role of configurability in building scalable tech, the evolving landscape of UMA, and how advisors are blending custom portfolio construction with third-party management. Molly shares what's ahead at Envestnet's Elevate conference, how AI will empower—not replace—advisors, and why personalization and access to alternatives are shaping the future of wealth management. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:48) - Molly's money moment (04:20) - Common challenges faced by firms of all sizes (06:09) - Molly's perspective on “scale” in the financial industry (07:50) - What to expect at Envestnet Elevate 2025 (11:48) - How Envestnet leverages third-party asset management (14:52) - The multifaceted role of advisors (18:17) - Managing diverse investment solutions (22:14) - Speakers at the Envestnet Elevate 2025 conference (24:19) - Envestnet's focus on ultra-high-net-worth clients (25:48) - The future of financial advice (30:23) - Molly's thoughts on alternative investments (33:36) - Molly's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways True scalability in advisory tech isn't about one-size-fits-all solutions or endless customization. Instead, it's about creating configurable systems that can adapt to a firm's unique needs without added complexity—allowing both large institutions and small RIAs to grow efficiently. AI won't diminish the advisor's value—it will amplify it. By automating routine tasks and surfacing meaningful insights, AI can free advisors to focus more on high-impact, human-centered work like client relationships, planning, and trust-building. Clients don't just want a 60/40 portfolio; they need guidance through complex life decisions. Advisors are part coach, part therapist, and part strategist. The tech behind the scenes should support that full spectrum of client service. Just as SMAs and UMAs became accessible to more clients over time, the future is about lowering barriers to non-traditional assets. Advisors should prepare to integrate alternatives and illiquid investments into broader portfolios, especially as client demand for diversification and behavioral discipline grows. Quotes "If everything you do is either about customization or one size has to fit all, you can't scale. But if you think about technology as a really configurable set of capabilities, a firm can grow because as they need more, it's already there. It just needs to be configured." ~ Molly Weiss "Part of an advisor's job is translating human problems into something that helps solve those problems. And that includes technology that helps the portfolio management process, taxes, performance, and life events that might change all that and throw it all up in the air." ~ Molly Weiss Links  Molly Weiss on LinkedIn Envestnet Bill Crager Envestnet Elevate 2025 Katty Kay Dennis Moseley-Williams Allistair McCaw Chris Todd Margo's Got Money Troubles Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, is joined by Justin Mahoney, co-founder of Shelter Growth Capital, for an in-depth discussion on the residential mortgage loan (RML) market and its increasing relevance to insurance portfolios. Justin offers a data-driven look at the macro trends affecting the housing market, including supply shortages, disciplined credit underwriting, and the nuanced relationship between home price appreciation and affordability. He explains why RMLs are drawing growing interest from insurers, thanks to favorable capital treatment, risk-adjusted return potential, and access to Federal Home Loan Bank financing.   The conversation also covers investment structure preferences—from direct investing to SMAs and pooled funds—and how each option fits into an insurer's broader allocation strategy. Justin shares where he sees the most compelling opportunities today, including non-QM loans, agency-eligible segments, and home equity extraction. Whether you're just beginning to explore the space or scaling an existing program, this episode offers valuable insights into how insurers can navigate and benefit from this dynamic and scalable asset class.

In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility. Private debt investments are generally considered illiquid and not quoted on any exchange; thus they are difficult to value. The process of valuing investments for which reliable market quotations are not available is based on inherent uncertainties and may not be accurate.

Despite economic data once again signaling inflation is on the rise, the future of rate cuts becoming uncertain and an evolving fiscal-policy landscape, there's much to be optimistic about within the muni market. On this month's Masters of the Muniverse podcast, hosts and Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Eric Kazatsky and Karen Altamirano talk to Tim Coffin, Director of Sustainability at Breckinridge Capital Advisors. We discuss the rise in separately managed accounts and how the demand for sustainable investing is unlikely to wane.

Analyst Miguel Del Gallego and Portfolio Manager Steve Rigo discuss how Trump regulatory and tariff policies, persistent inflation and animal spirits could impact banks and other financials stocks.

Investors are bracing for more political chaos after last week's tariff wars which tripped up sentiment, sending the dollar higher and Gold to record levels. Why the strong dollar is pinching corporate profits inside the biggest companies in the world, and what they are saying about it. Plus. The President's holding company just announced the registration of new ETFs and SMAs that track his "America First" agenda. While conflicts of interest and the executive branch of government have always had a cosy relationship, we've never seen this kind of securitization of America's policies. And, new tax proposals are about to hit Congress where the real fight over America's fiscal future is about to get interesting, including the potential closure of the carried interest loophole.
