In the Season 6 premiere of the Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician Podcast, host David Mandell welcomes Dr. Cynthia Matossian, an accomplished ophthalmologist, entrepreneur, and industry leader. Dr. Matossian shares her unique journey into medicine, starting from an initial interest in political science and international relations before ultimately discovering her passion for ophthalmology. She discusses the early challenges she faced in starting her own practice in 1987, particularly as a woman seeking financial backing in a male-dominated field, and the resilience and determination that fueled her success. Dr. Matossian reflects on the growth of her solo practice into a thriving multi-location enterprise with 14 physicians and over 90 employees. She emphasizes the importance of delegation, transparency, and staff empowerment in building an efficient, patient-focused practice. Her insights into practice management include implementing scribes to reduce physician burnout, investing in proper business education, and hiring skilled managers to bring structure and professionalism to the organization. She also highlights her personal approach to financial planning, beginning with small investments guided by a trusted advisor, which laid the foundation for long-term financial success. The conversation also explores Dr. Matossian's involvement in industry innovation, her leadership in clinical trials, and her founding of GPOptho, a group purchasing organization designed to help practices lower costs through collective buying power. She shares valuable advice for physicians considering private equity transactions, stressing the importance of preparing years in advance and selecting the right advisors. Ultimately, Dr. Matossian underscores the critical need for physicians to educate themselves on the business of medicine early in their careers, pairing clinical excellence with sound financial and practice management strategies.

Wealth management is often seen as a numbers game—assets under management, returns, tax exposure—but for Paul Carroll, it's always been about people first. As the CEO and founder of Avion Wealth, Carroll has spent nearly two decades building a firm that redefines what it means to serve high-net-worth individuals and families. With a philosophy rooted in trust, leadership, and strategic clarity, he has grown Avion Wealth into a firm that manages over $850 million in assets, while maintaining a deep personal connection to clients and team members alike. Carroll's approach to wealth management was shaped by his early life experiences—arriving in the U.S. at 17 with just $200, joining the Air Force to fund his education, and eventually earning degrees from the University of Maryland and Texas A&M. That grit and resourcefulness laid the groundwork for a professional path that would favor clarity over complexity, service over sales. Rather than adopting the standard broker-dealer model, Carroll built Avion Wealth around a consultative framework designed to deliver holistic financial planning that aligns with clients' evolving goals and values. A central theme of Carroll's leadership is the development of a self-managing team. He's the first to admit he didn't know everything when he started out, but his drive to learn—paired with an unwavering curiosity—helped him grow both as a leader and a strategist. He believes firmly in the idea that the people who get you to one level of success may not be the same ones who take you to the next. That's why hiring, mentorship, and team development are non-negotiable components of his wealth management philosophy. Surrounding himself with A-players has allowed him to shift his role from day-to-day management to visionary leadership, which continues to propel the firm forward. For business owners and executives navigating their own financial journeys, Carroll's message is clear: complexity doesn't equal effectiveness. In fact, one of his biggest lessons came during the 2008 financial crisis, when a strategy designed to attract a niche market completely missed the mark. Instead of folding, Carroll pivoted quickly—realigning his firm's focus on the types of clients who truly valued their model. That flexibility, paired with a willingness to act and adjust, has become a defining element of his wealth management strategy. Ford Saeks, a longtime business strategist and host of Fordify LIVE, highlights the importance of this kind of mindset. Whether you're leading a financial advisory firm, a franchise system, or a high-growth startup, the principles are the same. Leadership isn't about knowing everything—it's about creating an environment where growth, curiosity, and clear execution thrive. Saeks often emphasizes that business success is built on systems, people, and positioning—three areas where Carroll's leadership offers a practical blueprint. One area where Carroll stands out is his perspective on referrals and business development. Rather than focusing on transactions or outbound marketing, he invests in relationships with centers of influence—accountants, attorneys, and other professionals who trust him enough to introduce their clients. That kind of trust isn't earned overnight. It's built through reputation, results, and the ability to consistently deliver value. Carroll notes that people don't refer others to help you—they refer because they believe you can help someone they care about. In a field where technical knowledge is table stakes, Carroll brings a human-centered lens to wealth management. His firm's success has been shaped not just by financial acumen, but by an ability to listen, lead, and stay aligned with clients' real-world needs. Whether advising on tax strategies, succession planning, or charitable giving, Carroll and his team act less like service providers and more like partners—guiding clients through every stage of growth, transition, and legacy. For professionals looking to elevate their own approach to wealth management—or simply lead with more intention—the takeaways are clear: Build a team that supports your vision. Stay curious. Act before you're ready. And never underestimate the power of meaningful relationships. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

But Andy emphasizes that awareness alone isn't enough—it must lead to self-improvement. Leaders should act on feedback, write down growth plans, and commit to change.Stretch Assignments Develop Leaders - To prepare successors, leaders must be placed in roles that test their capabilities. Stretch assignments, paired with feedback and support, accelerate readiness for higher responsibilities.Trust as the Foundation of Feedback - Effective coaching and feedback require trust. When trust is present, feedback enhances performance. Without it, feedback often feels like criticism and can push people away.From Feeling Bad to Conviction - Mark and Andy explore the difference between feeling bad about underperforming versus being convicted to improve. True growth happens when leaders respond with conviction rather than shame.Notable Quotes“Succession planning is a business process. You're not hiring for today—you're preparing for the organization's future strategy.” – Andy Noon“Fear of giving feedback often reveals a lack of trust. When trust is strong, feedback becomes a gift.” – Andy Noon“Self-awareness is step one, but self-improvement is the goal.” – Andy Noon“You'll know a tree by its fruit. Leadership is measured by what's left behind when the leader steps away.” – Mark Jewell“If you're changing because you feel bad, it rarely sticks. True change comes from conviction.” – Christine Jewell (via Mark)Action StepsBegin succession planning conversations at your next executive team meeting—don't wait until it's too late.Identify hidden talent within your organization and start developing them with feedback and stretch assignments.Write down 1–2 leadership areas you want to improve, and revisit them regularly.Build trust with your team before giving feedback—focus on understanding their motivations and goals.Establish your own “personal board of directors” who can speak truth into your leadership journey.Listen If You AreA leader in agribusiness facing looming retirements and talent shortagesAn...

they can be wrong up to 17% of the time Church Technology Criticism (00:58:22) The "negative world" concept by Aaron Renn - cultural shift from positive to neutral to negative perception of Christianity Common criticisms: "Tax the churches," "Money should go to the poor" Biblical response: Only Judas complained about expensive things being used to honor Jesus Economic reality: Larger churches often spend lower percentages on tech than smaller churches due to economy of scale Technology costs: Modern equipment costs significantly less than in the early 2000s Social Media Strategy (00:12:38) Initial resistance: Reformed background's "theologized cynicism" toward self-promotion The turning point: People spend 16-18 hours/week on social media hearing secular perspectives "Air war vs. Ground war": Ground war = traditional discipleship, Air war = cultural engagement Digital Areopagus: Social media as the modern equivalent of where Paul engaged culture in Athens Current following growth: From 20-40k to significantly larger audience through strategic content Worship Pastor Turnover Crisis (01:26:06) Root causes identified: Getting into ministry for wrong reasons (seeking bigger stages/record deals) Senior pastors hiring for talent over pastoral gifting Lack of pastoral development and broader leadership responsibilities "Warm up the crowd" mentality rather than true pastoral partnership Solutions proposed: Hire character first, develop competency Give worship pastors genuine pastoral responsibilities Focus on being pastors who happen to use music Create long-term development paths Hiring and Leadership Development (00:36:29) Key principle: "Always bet on leadership" over pure talent Character evaluation: Look at family life as indicator of leadership capacity "Hire slow, fire fast" - don't ignore red flags in interviews Vision alignment: Ensure worship leaders can come under senior pastor's vision Josh's story: Had to fire a worship leader after 5 weeks for vision misalignment Succession Planning (00:45:13) LakePoint's success factors: Outgoing pastor (Steve Stroop) "left campground clean" - addressed problems before transition Incoming pastor honored what came before rather than dismissing it 70% credit to predecessor, 30% to successor for smooth transition Key advice for incoming leaders: Honor those who built what you inherited Watch your pace in first year - observe more than you act Win relationships and excel on stage Don't make major changes without building equity first Staying Humble While Growing (00:52:54) Key relationships: Spouse who believes in you but isn't impressed by you Hire up: Surround yourself with people more talented than you Find joy in others' wins: Move from taking all the shots to giving others opportunities Dave Stone's wisdom: "Don't let praise go to your head, don't let criticism go to your heart" Josh's perspective: Staying confident is often harder than staying humble Future Ministry Vision (01:08:27) Chris's focus: Leadership pipeline development - never having to post job openings Josh's project: "Discipleship at scale" through vertically aligned content delivery Core principle: "We're in the disciple business, not the events business" Technology integration: Purpose-built app to connect sermon, podcast, reading plans, and groups Quotable Moments "If you find yourself on team Judas, get a different team." - Josh on criticizing church spending "Two visions create division." - Chris on worship pastor alignment "Don't let praise go to your head and don't let criticism go to your heart." - Dave Stone's advice "We're not in the events business, we're in the disciple business." - Josh on ministry focus "The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats." - Josh on handling criticism Action Items for Church Leaders Experiment with AI as a research and content creation tool while maintaining proper oversight Evaluate your hiring process - prioritize character and leadership potential over pure talent Assess succession planning - are you preparing for healthy transitions? Review social media strategy - consider it as cultural engagement rather than self-promotion Examine technology spending through economy of scale lens rather than raw dollar amounts Develop internal leadership pipelines rather than constantly hiring externally Align all ministry elements toward discipleship rather than just events Resources Mentioned ChatGPT/Grok for AI assistance Stream Deck for video production control Canon C80 cameras for podcast production Aaron Renn's "Negative World" essay Apple Maps analogy for leadership transitions Connect with Guests LakePoint Church: [Church website/social media] Josh Howerton: [Social media handles] Chris Kuti: [Social media handles] This episode was recorded at LakePoint Church's broadcast studio.

In this episode of the Finish Big Podcast, host Mark Dorman welcomes back Corey Rosen, founder of the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO), for Part 2 of their conversation on alternative ownership structures—specifically, the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). Following their earlier discussion on Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), Mark and Corey explore how EOTs differ, their origins, and why some business owners may choose them over ESOPs. They cover the practical, cultural, and philosophical factors driving this emerging succession strategy in the U.S. Mark and Corey discuss: EOT Origins & Growth: How the model evolved in the UK (inspired by the John Lewis Partnership) and its rapid adoption overseas. Key Differences from ESOPs: Costs, complexity, tax implications, and the flexibility to set custom rules for ownership and profit distribution. Ideal Candidates: Why smaller companies (often under 50 employees) and owners committed to long-term independence may benefit most. Purpose Trusts: How some companies, like Patagonia, use ownership trusts for social and environmental missions. Succession Planning Considerations: When an EOT makes sense versus a management buyout, phantom stock, or other equity models. NCEO's Role: Resources, research, and networking opportunities for companies exploring employee ownership.

Rotate employees through different roles.  Pair for learning and mentorship. It builds knowledge, confidence, and cross-functional empathy.  Assume every talented person could leave. Actively invest in their growth and give them a reason to stay.  Ask broad, guiding questions that will lead to deeper clarity through group discussions.  Have honest conversations about careers. Not everyone is ambitious.  After a tough promotion call, reaffirms the values of other employees immediately.      90-Day High-Performance Dashboard You can't afford to let your people drift.

You say you want freedom. But are you really ready for it? This week, Kris kicks off the first of seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it's time for something new. It starts with a brutally honest question: Is your business ready to run without you? And are you ready to let it? In this episode, Kris unpacks what readiness really means—not just logistically, but emotionally. Because saying you're done and being done are two very different things. Here's what we explore: The trap of being needed—and why it's so hard to let go How your team might be holding you back (even if they mean well) Why control feels safer than it really is And how to know if you're truly ready for what's next This isn't about stepping down. It's about stepping into a new version of you. And readiness is just the beginning. Contact Information and Recommended Resources Wanna know if your business is ready to run without you?
