The Finance Minister says she steers clear of emails - following a recent ministerial scandal. This follows 1News reports that Erica Stanford sent pre-Budget announcements to her personal email before they were announced last year - one of tens of examples since she's been a Minister. Her use of personal email could be a breach of the Cabinet manual - which all ministers are obliged to follow. Nicola Willis says she's never really sending emails. "I'm meeting with people face to face or I'm talking to my team and saying - look, could you just make sure that that minister's aware of this. Sometimes we do formal correspondence, letters and the like, but very rarely am I sitting at my keyboard." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin sits down with Daniel Noonan, Executive Vice President and Head of Wealth Management Consulting at Cohen & Steers, to explore what it takes to lead and scale a top-tier distribution team in today's evolving investment landscape. With more than two decades of experience at firms like Nuveen, PIMCO, and State Street Global Advisors, Daniel brings a thoughtful, measured approach to sales strategy, team leadership, and client engagement.Daniel offers an inside look at how Cohen & Steers is expanding beyond its core REIT franchise into private real estate, retirement solutions, and most recently, active ETFs. With a 50-person U.S. wealth distribution team, the firm is structured to stay agile while maintaining deep relationships across channels including RIAs, wirehouses, independent broker-dealers, and private banks.A central theme in the conversation is intentional sales process. Daniel emphasizes the importance of identifying the right advisor profile—those who embrace active management, endowment-style portfolio construction, and value in real assets. The firm leverages CRM technology, specifically Salesforce, as a “force multiplier,” empowering the sales team with data, segmentation, and efficiency to spend more time with high-potential clients. He stresses that success comes from combining the “art” of client engagement with the “science” of targeting and tracking.Daniel also discusses the challenges and opportunities of new client acquisition, particularly in the fast-growing but complex RIA channel. He advocates for a consultative, business-minded approach, focused less on product pushing and more on providing value—whether that's market insight, operational advice, or branding strategy.On leadership, Daniel defines his style as collaborative, present, and servant-oriented. He believes in staying close to the business and investing time with his team to remove roadblocks and reinforce shared goals. He encourages open communication across levels, structured reporting, and measurable goals that prioritize effort and process over uncontrollable outcomes.For young professionals, his advice is to be a “student of the game”—stay curious, work hard, and differentiate yourself through depth and breadth of knowledge. His biggest challenge today? Focus. With multiple initiatives underway, Daniel's priority is maintaining clarity on what matters most and building infrastructure to support that focus. This episode is a masterclass in strategic sales leadership and thoughtful organizational growth.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

For many agency owners, sales is a necessary evil. For others, it's your natural gift, and you look forward to doing it. Either way, you can always benefit from making it easier and better for you. One of the biggest benefits we cover in today's episode is shortening the sales cycle. Many agencies struggled with elongated sales cycles last year, but that doesn't need to become par for the course. Stephen Steers joined me on the podcast to teach us how storytelling in sales is one of the most effective ways to make sales faster and easier. He shares a ton of nuggets of info from understanding why people buy, why agency owners need to stay in contact with prospects (and how), and how to use storytelling to catch the attention of prospects and keep them interested. The bottom line is sales doesn't have to feel icky. By embracing storytelling, you can build trust, forge deeper connections, and get prospects excited to work with you.

Clean up on Aisle 112! That's 112 years of the historic, beloved and hopeful West Side Market. This iconic structure, and the human ecosystem within its walls, have survived plenty of turmoil—from the Great Depression to wartime, a global pandemic and a beleaguered city bureaucracy. Rosemary Mudry became the Executive Director of the Cleveland Public Market Corporation about six months ago. Tasked with taking the West Side Market into the future with a newly created nonprofit management structure, she and her small team are calmly and carefully making changes that improve the shopping experience, fortifying the 100+ year-old infrastructure, and addressing the concerns and needs of around 70 independent vendors. In this episode we get an idea of the short- and long-term priorities for the market, how the new nonprofit structure supports growth and change, and what the upcoming holiday season might look like for regular customers and visiting tourists. This episode was made possible with support from Ohio City Inc. and the Ohio City Street Festival.

Amel Guettatfi and Julia Steers won this year's George Polk Award for Television Reporting for “Inside Wagner,” their Vice News investigation of Russian mercenaries on the Ukraine front and in the Central African Republic. “One of the best takeaways I got from seven or eight years at Vice is that it's not enough for something to be important when you're figuring out how to make a story. It's the intersection of important and interesting. And that has taught me that people will watch anything, anywhere, as long as it's interesting. Nobody owes us their time. The onus is on us to explain things in an interesting, compelling way. I'm hoping that a landscape opens up somewhere else that sees that and understands that can be done anywhere in the world.” This is the first in a week-long series of conversations with winners of this year's George Polk Awards in Journalism.
