How to Master 1031 Exchanges for Hunting Land | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 463 In the fourth and final podcast of our Cultivating Value series, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellsvik sit down with Joe Dierker, owner of First Harvest Land Exchange, to demystify the most powerful financial tool for landowners: the 1031 Exchange. While Episode One touched on financing, this episode dives deep into the high-stakes world of tax deferral strategies and building long-term wealth through real estate. Joe explains the "make or break" mechanics of using a Qualified Intermediary (QI) to avoid the "constructive receipt" of funds, which can instantly blow up your exchange and trigger a massive tax bill. Whether you are a first-time flipper or looking to secure a "forever farm" legacy, you will learn the critical differences between long-term capital gains, short-term marginal rates, and how the step-up in basis can benefit your heirs. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the rigid timelines that govern these deals, including the 45-day identification window and the 180-day completion deadline. Joe reveals expert tips on the Three-Property Rule, why you must exchange for equal or greater value and equity, and how "mortgage boot" can lead to unexpected tax liabilities. We also tackle complex scenarios like reverse 1031 exchanges, carving out primary residences under Section 121, and navigating the "Ozarks Condo" trap. This series finale provides the ultimate masterclass in financial literacy for the modern hunter and land investor. 00:00:00 – Intro to the podcast 00:04:00 – What is a 1031 Exchange?

This episode of The Power of Zero Show sees David McKnight discussing the single most hated retirement strategy in America: annuities. Interestingly enough, annuities are also one of the most powerful tools you can use to protect yourself from the biggest financial risk you face in retirement. Longevity risk, a retirement danger most retirees never fully grasp, is the reason why this topic matters so much. As David explains, "Longevity risk is the risk of living longer than you expected, running out of money before you run out of life."  While some people shrug longevity risk off as a good problem to have, it's actually the biggest risk in retirement (from a financial standpoint), as it is a risk amplifier. In other words, it magnifies everything else that can go wrong – such as inflation, long-term care, withdrawal risk, and sequence of returns risk. The reasons why many people hate annuities are legitimate, while others are propaganda. For more than 20 years, Kenneth Fisher has led a massive anti-annuity crusade. Remember: there's only one way to truly eliminate longevity risk from your retirement, and that's through a guaranteed lifetime stream of income in the form of an annuity. Research on annuities – something that has been ongoing for the last four decades – has shown that people with a guaranteed lifetime income tend to spend more freely in retirement than people living solely off an investment portfolio. David touches upon Richard Thaler's concept of the Annuity Puzzle. Annuities solve a problem that no stock portfolio ever can: a portfolio can't guarantee lifetime income you cannot outlive. With the American national debt exploding, which would probably lead to higher tax rates, an internal Roth conversion allows you to get ahead of that.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Kenneth "Ken" Fisher Richard Thaler

Stephen Grootes speaks to Duncan Pieterse, Treasury Director-general to unpack Budget 2026 in a nutshell. With inflation-linked personal income tax relief, a higher tax-free savings limit, no VAT or corporate tax hikes, and the withdrawal of the planned R20 billion tax increase, Treasury struck a more optimistic tone. However, fuel and carbon levies will rise, the deficit sits at 4% of GDP, and debt is projected to stabilise at 77.3% of GDP. In other interviews, Motus Chief Executive Officer, Ockert Janse van Rensburg discusses Motus’ improved operational performance, the stronger sales volumes across key markets, and how disciplined strategy execution supported the Group’s robust financial results for the period.

Tax season doesn't excuse bad preparation.In this solo micro-episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams shares a practical 5-minute AI workflow to help you walk into every client interview informed, confident, and positioned as an advisor — even during your busiest stretch of tax season.Most accountants don't feel underprepared because they don't care.They feel underprepared because they're overloaded.Back-to-back meetings.No time to reread prior returns.No mental space to spot planning opportunities.In this episode, Lee explains:• Why “directional awareness” matters more than perfect prep• How to use AI as a thinking partner — not a replacement• A simple prompt you can use to summarize prior-year returns and financials• How to generate thoughtful client questions in minutes• Why better prep leads to better positioning as an advisorThis isn't about outsourcing tax advice to AI.It's about using technology to show up sharper, ask better questions, and elevate the client experience.Five minutes of prep can change the tone of the entire meeting.Advisors don't memorize clients.They prepare for them.—Host: Lee ReamsPodcast: The Growth Minded AccountantTopic: AI for accountants, tax season efficiency, client interview preparation

You've got the passion. You've got the vision. You've got the people behind you. And you still can't get a yes. Why? Because you're speaking YOUR language — not theirs.This episode of NoBS Wealth hits different. We're back in the studio with consultant and community builder Gabriel Langley, and we're going deep on one of the most overlooked problems destroying small businesses and community-driven projects today — the dangerous gap between hustle and strategy. Gabriel brings a real scenario to the table: a community event center project 10 years in the making. Passionate people. Powerful vision. Strong relationships. And a graveyard of nos from every major funding institution and city official they approached. The problem wasn't the project. The problem was the translation. They were not speaking the language that decision-makers needed to hear in order to say yes.This is the episode that will make you pause and ask yourself the question that most business owners are terrified to answer: Are YOU the reason your business isn't moving? Not because you're not working hard enough — you probably are. But because hustle without positioning is just exhaustion dressed up in motivation. It gets you in the room. It doesn't get you the check. Gabriel breaks down exactly what it took to wake this team up, what the numbers revealed that a decade of passion couldn't, and why the moment those 20 pages hit the table, everything changed. The real aha wasn't the proposal. It was realizing they had outgrown their own playbook.We run through the Noise vs. Truth rapid-fire segment and bust two myths that are holding entrepreneurs hostage right now. Myth one: if the vision is strong enough, someone will fund it. Myth two: keep pushing and it'll eventually work. The truth? Funders in 2026 don't care about your passion. They care about your contingency plan in a volatile market. And if you can't show them that — with data, demographics, job analysis, and projections — your pitch is noise. Doesn't matter how many doors you knock on.Then we walk through Gabriel's powerful 3-step framework that every business owner, founder, or dreamer needs tattooed somewhere visible: Surface the real problem. Make the invisible visible. Create the path forward. These aren't buzzwords. This is the actual process that turned a stalled 10-year dream into a funded, energized, actionable plan. And the urgency of the first 30 days after that clarity hits? That's the momentum that either saves your business or lets it die on the vine.We close this one out honoring Black History Month in a way that goes beyond the surface. Gabriel shares what the month means to him personally — rooted in his father's legacy, the African tradition of storytelling, As always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

Welcome back to Financial Revelations with David Szafranski—where we break down markets, policy, and long-term wealth strategy with clarity and conviction. This week, we're tackling some of the most important questions in finance right now. Why Is the Market Getting Beat Up? Investors are asking: What changed structurally in the market? According to David — nothing. There has been no major structural shift. Tax policy remains positive. Corporate fundamentals haven't suddenly collapsed. What we're seeing is more about sentiment than substance. Some investors may simply be tiring of the AI trade after a strong run. But David's perspective is clear: In times of uncertainty — buy the chaos. Volatility creates opportunity. When markets swing, disciplined investors stay growth-oriented instead of reacting emotionally. What's Happening With Tariffs? Last Friday, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped in his recent tariff action. President Trump has stated he will follow the law, and the administration is now looking at other legal mechanisms to implement tariffs if necessary. Policy headlines can move markets quickly, but David reminds listeners: political noise often creates short-term volatility — not long-term destruction. Economists Worth Listening To If you want to understand markets and economic philosophy more deeply, David recommends studying: Milton Friedman Thomas Sowell Both economists emphasize free markets, limited government intervention, and the power of capitalism to lift people out of poverty.

Paul Auslander, President of SeaBridge Private Wealth, a division of SeaBridge Investment Advisors LLC joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the intersection of money, markets, and the current political moment. Auslander walks through how the political climate now factors directly into financial planning projections, noting that European indices doubled the S&P's performance last year as capital flows shift overseas, and that a growing number of wealthy clients are hedging by moving money out of the United States. He offers candid takes on the issues keeping investors up at night: the inevitability of Social Security cuts (though he argues simply pushing retirement age from 67 to 69 would stabilize the fund), the likely future of Social Security privatization, crypto's evolution from a technological revolution into a special interest that bought its own policy outcomes, and whether there's money to be made off bad Trump policies that are likely to be reversed. Auslander also explains why the bond market is a better barometer of economic health than the stock market, why private equity is sitting on mountains of sidelined capital, and why he remains cautiously bullish on 2026 — largely because AI is only in the "second inning" and massive disruption is still ahead. The conversation also ventures into territory financial planners don't usually discuss publicly. Auslander addresses whether the wealthy are worried the "pitchforks are coming for them," pointing to economic anxiety driving a spike in gun sales and a pop culture landscape that increasingly portrays corporations and the ultra-rich as villains. He breaks down the rise of family offices — private wealth management firms for the ultra-wealthy that take a long-term investment view — and explains why companies increasingly choose to stay private thanks to nearly unlimited private capital, rather than face the scrutiny of public markets. They also dig into the generational divide between investing and gambling, the casino-like nature of prediction markets, and the burden that post-Lehman Brothers insurance and regulatory requirements have placed on small businesses and regional banks that had nothing to do with the 2008 financial crisis. Auslander closes with a pointed message: that Fed independence and the rule of law are paramount to economic stability, and that centrism — not ideological extremism — remains the best way to run the country.

In this episode recorded immediately after Trump's record-breaking 108-minute State of the Union address, Chuck Todd argues that while Trump's base will love the "own the libs" moments — from trolling Democrats in the chamber to the raucous "USA" chants from Republicans — the speech was fundamentally a missed opportunity that did nothing to help the GOP heading into the midterms. He contends that Trump chose to be a party leader rather than a president, turning the address into something resembling an award show by packing it with medal presentations, the Olympic men's hockey team, honorees who deserved more dedicated recognition rather than being used as applause props in an already bloated speech. He argues that Trump's tone on the economy couldn't have been worse for Republicans: with his approval at 60% disapproval and the Supreme Court having just struck down his tariffs days earlier, Trump barely addressed voters' core concerns about costs and affordability, instead declaring a "turnaround for the ages" that doesn't match most Americans' lived experience. He notes Trump’s highlighting of Iran's ballistic missiles sounded like a pretext for war that won't play well with parts of his own base. He praises Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's Democratic response as simple and effective — particularly her pointed questions about whether the president is actually working to make life more affordable — and argues she clearly won over independents. He closes with a bigger-picture observation: that there's a 60% majority coalition available on populist economic issues like protecting the safety net from cuts to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, but that Democrats still have a damaged brand despite Trump's terrible numbers, and that voters who thought they were getting first-term Trump are reckoning with something very different. Then, Paul Auslander, President of SeaBridge Private Wealth, a division of SeaBridge Investment Advisors LLC joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the intersection of money, markets, and the current political moment.

Stripe, the programmable financial services company, has signed agreements with investors to provide liquidity to current and former Stripe employees through a tender offer at a $159B (€135B) valuation. While the majority of funds for the tender offer are being provided by investors including Thrive Capital, Coatue, a16z, and others, Stripe will also use a portion of its own capital to repurchase shares. Stripe also published its 2025 annual letter to the Stripe community, detailing a strong year for businesses on Stripe and the internet economy overall. Businesses running on Stripe generated $1.9 trillion in total volume, up 34% from 2024, and equivalent to roughly 1.6% of global GDP. Beyond payments, Stripe's Revenue suite (comprising Stripe Billing, Invoicing, Tax, and more) is on track to hit an annual run rate of $1 billion this year. In the letter, cofounders Patrick and John Collison wrote: "Our programmable financial services now power more than 5 million businesses directly or via platforms, including all of the top AI companies, many of the largest blue-chip companies (90% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average), most of the biggest tech companies (80% of the Nasdaq 100), and a significant fraction of freshly minted startups (25% of all Delaware corporations are now created with Stripe Atlas) […] Stripe remained robustly profitable, allowing us to continue investing heavily in product development (with more than 350 product updates last year) as well as acquisitions. […] All in all, 2025 was a strong year for the internet economy, and we're delighted to see so many of Stripe's customers do so well." Kareem Zaki, partner at Thrive Capital, said: "After a decade of partnership and seeing their work up close, we believe Stripe has built the premiere financial infrastructure stack for the internet economy, relied on by the fastest growing companies for payments, billing, fraud prevention, tax, and more. While their core business has never been stronger, we believe their most transformative chapters are being written right now. We believe Stripe's lead will only expand across the future of money movement due to their leadership in agentic commerce, stablecoins, and more." New businesses on Stripe are scaling at record speed The 2025 cohort of new businesses on Stripe is the highest performing in the company's history. More new companies joined Stripe in 2025 than ever before, with more than half (57%) based outside the US. Businesses in the 2025 cohort grew around 50% faster than the 2024 cohort. The number of companies reaching $10 million ARR within 3 months of launch was double the 2024 count. Companies incorporated via Stripe Atlas are also monetising sooner: in 2025, 20% of Atlas startups charged their first customer within 30 days, up from 8% in 2020. Businesses on Stripe are increasingly global by default Over the last few years, the country-by-country expansion model has melted away. The "domestic market" for a new generation of internet businesses is the internet itself. Nearly every recognisable AI product launched globally by default, including ChatGPT, Claude, Replit, Lovable, Base44, Vercel, Cursor, Midjourney, and many more. Among Stripe businesses with mostly international revenue, 30% of that revenue comes from countries that are neither their home market nor one of the top 10 global economies. "This isn't merely about incremental revenue from a 'long tail' of international users. In many cases, the 'long tail' is much of the dog," the Collisons wrote. Building the economic infrastructure for AI Agentic commerce has moved into a phase of building and real-world experimentation. As with the early internet, the future success of agentic commerce is contingent on universal interoperability. To that end, Stripe has been working with a broad set of partners across AI labs, retailers, and leading ecommerce platforms to lay the groundwork for this generational shift: With OpenAI, Stripe developed the Agentic Comm...

Dr. Friday explains why inherited property can receive a step-up in basis, which may reduce future taxes. She cautions that quitclaiming property to children early can be a poor tax decision and mentions the Medicare or Medicaid look-back rules. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Step-up in basis for inherited properties: seems to be a misconception out there of how this works. Because a lot of times I talk to someone and they’re like, oh no, I quitclaim my property to my children, so I knew they would get it. That is not a good tax decision. It may be a mental or physical or some other kind of decision, but you know, there’s a five-year look back from Medicare or Medicaid. Therefore, unless it’s gonna be something that happens after that, you really just want to let them inherit. And you know that also applies if a husband and wife own joint property, half of them dies, the other half can get a step-up. Need help? Call me. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Duncan Pieterse, Treasury Director General, to unpack Budget 2026 in a nutshell. With inflation-linked personal income tax relief, a higher tax-free savings limit, no VAT or corporate tax hikes, and the withdrawal of the planned R20 billion tax increase, Treasury struck a more optimistic tone. However, fuel and carbon levies will rise, the deficit sits at 4% of GDP, and debt is projected to stabilise at 77.3% of GDP.

Huckabee, the fake Christian Zionist US Ambassador to Israel, got caught red-handed pushing the Jewish supremacist fantasy that Israel has a “biblical right” to steal the entire Middle East from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Fear is expensive. In 2025, manufacturers delayed billions in capital projects because anxiety, not data, drove business decisions.But 2026 is different. Tax incentives expire mid-year, borrowing costs are down, and the hard data shows CapEx accelerating at 3-4%. The companies acting on facts while others remain frozen are the ones positioned to gain market share, capture expiring tax benefits, and pull ahead.This episode comes to you live from the A3 Forum 2026, where the message is clear: 2026 isn't about waiting for certainty. It's about preparing for complexity with multiple strategies, acting on hard economic data, and recognizing that technology will solve the labor shortage. You'll hear why geopolitics can no longer be ignored and why every manufacturing company needs dedicated monitoring and scenario-based planning to navigate constant disruption. We dig into why America's $1+ trillion manufacturing investment boom is creating career opportunities that rival the tech industry and why the outdated narrative around manufacturing jobs is costing the industry the next generation of talent. Plus, we explore how automation and robotics are becoming the central solution for critical challenges and how theme park robotics taught the industry the power of asking “how” instead of “no”.In this episode, find out:Why 2026 is transitioning from a year of uncertainty to a year of complexityHow to become a value-added partner instead of a transactional sellerHow America's $1+ trillion manufacturing investment is rebuilding domestic capabilityWhy manufacturing careers now offer competitive tech-level salariesWhy 92% of manufacturing CEOs prioritize smart manufacturing as their top growth strategyThe impact of expiring tax incentives on CapEx decision-making urgencyWhy AI has shifted from hype to practical implementation questionsHow theme park robotics pioneered human-robot collaboration and safety standardsWhy the answer should be "how" instead of "no" when facing unconventional challengesEnjoying the show?

More importantly, America is starting to learn how to rebuild and manufacture its own goods.

Dr. Friday explains how the adoption tax credit can still help reduce taxes, even if it is not fully refundable. She notes it can carry forward up to five years and stresses having proper documentation and a Social Security number for the child. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Adoption tax credit is in play, and I always think it’s pretty awesome. My parents had eight children, so I don’t think adoption was ever on the table, but I have a number of clients that have adopted children. And there’s also a credit that you can get, and it can be carried forward up to five years. It may not all be refundable, in fact, very little is it now, but it is still something that can go towards paying your taxes. So if you have adopted a child, then you might want to think about making sure that you’ve gotten all the documentation and you must have a Social Security number for that child. Otherwise, we are not able to report them on the tax return. If you need help with taxes, check us out, drfriday.com. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ayanda Zulu, policy officer at the Free Market Foundation, about National Treasury’s proposal to introduce an additional 20% tax on online gambling. The FMF argues the move could backfire by pushing consumers toward unregulated offshore platforms, which already account for a significant share of online betting activity in South Africa. Industry data suggests millions of South Africans are interacting with illegal operators, raising questions about enforcement capacity and whether the proposed tax can realistically be applied to offshore entities.

The US Supreme Court just handed Trump a legal defeat and it barely slowed him down. In a landmark ruling, the court struck down tariffs imposed under emergency economic powers, only for the White House to pivot instantly to alternative legal pathways. For India, caught just before a trade deal that had finally brought some clarity, the timing couldn't be worse. Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to Bipin Sapra, Partner and Indirect Tax Policy Leader, EY India about an 18% tariff rate that once looked certain is now up in the air.

Tax refund season brings opportunity. And for financial coaches, it also brings temptation. When a client receives a large windfall — $3,000, $7,000, even $20,000 — it's easy to get excited about the progress they could make. Debt payoff. Emergency funds. Investments. Big wins. But sometimes in that excitement, we forget to pause and ask: What do they want? In this episode, Cody and Maria unpack a subtle but important coaching lesson — one that often surfaces during tax season: Why coaches can unintentionally overstep when windfalls arrive How goal-chasing can override client ownership The importance of asking before advising Why splitting a refund may increase long-term engagement How mature coaches measure success differently This conversation isn't really about tax refunds. It's about leadership.It's about restraint.It's about remembering that great coaching helps clients make confident decisions — not just efficient ones. Because it's not about what's mathematically optimal. It's about what they're ready to own.

Tax Refunds and the Consumer Spending Boost There is encouraging news on the tax front. Tax refunds for 2026 are already running approximately $3 billion ahead of last year, reflecting a 17% increase driven in part by recent tax legislation. While that growth rate is slightly below earlier projections, it remains strong and meaningful. Historically, refund season begins to accelerate in late February and continues through May. Current data show this year's refunds are already tracking ahead of prior years, suggesting that a meaningful influx of cash into households is just beginning. Why does this matter for investors? Consumer spending is a major engine of the U.S. economy and a key contributor to corporate revenue and profit growth. With interest rates trending lower and refunds rising, more money in consumers' pockets could translate into stronger spending. Increased spending supports corporate profitability, which in turn underpins stock market performance. We are monitoring refund trends closely, as they may provide an important tailwind for economic growth and equities in the months ahead. The Supreme Court Ruling and the Future of Tariffs Tariff policy shifted dramatically following a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the administration's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPA). While IEPA has traditionally been used for sanctions and embargoes, it had been applied in this case to implement tariffs. The Court ruled that using IEPA in this way was unconstitutional. Importantly, the decision does not eliminate the executive branch's authority to impose tariffs. Congress has granted tariff powers through other established mechanisms. In response to the ruling, the administration moved quickly to replace IEPA-based tariffs with alternative authorities, including Section 122 for a broad 15% tariff framework, as well as Sections 301 and 232 for more targeted, country- and industry-specific tariffs. Existing tariffs on industries such as steel and aluminum, as well as tariffs imposed on China beginning in 2018 under Section 301, remain in place. The ruling also raises questions about roughly $130 billion in tariffs previously collected under IEPA. Corporations are expected to pursue litigation seeking refunds, a process that could take months or even years to resolve. While companies may fight aggressively for those funds, consumers should not expect direct reimbursement for tariff-related price increases on retail goods. For markets, the key takeaway is that while the legal pathway has changed, the overall revenue expectations from tariffs are projected to remain similar. However, the structure has become more complex, and policy developments in this area will continue to warrant close attention. Earnings Growth: The Market's Lifeblood Amid political noise and policy debates, it is important to remember that corporate earnings ultimately drive market performance. With approximately 75% of companies reporting, revenue growth is coming in at roughly 8.5%, exceeding earlier expectations of 6% to 7.5%. Even more impressive is earnings growth, currently tracking around 13.5%, well above prior projections in the 7.5% to 9% range. Strong earnings help justify elevated market valuations. When companies deliver accelerating profits, investors are often willing to pay higher multiples. However, rising earnings also bring rising expectations. Current projections call for approximately 14% earnings growth in 2026 and 15% in 2027, ambitious targets that will require sustained economic strength. Markets often react not just to results, but to the gap between expectations and reality. A solid 10% earnings growth rate could disappoint if investors expected 15%. Conversely, modest expectations that are exceeded can support continued market gains. That is why we monitor both present results and forward-looking projections. Managing expectations is just as important as measuring performance.

Dr. Friday explains that W-2 and 1099 deadlines generally fall at the end of January, unless an extension is requested. She recommends contacting payers promptly and making a list of every employer and company so you do not miss forms and have to amend later. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. The IRS has put some new deadlines for filing W-2s and 1099s, and again, those deadlines should have already passed. January 31st would have been the last day they should have given you an email, unless they file for an extension and they should have notified you of that. If you have not received your W-2, 1099, 1099-K, 1099-B, 1099-Rs, and all the other ones, then you need to make sure you’re contacting the companies. Do make a list, because sometimes you forget you work for somebody and you have two W-2s, not just one. Then you have to amend the return, which takes longer. You need help? All you have to do is check us out on the web, drfriday.com. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

UK Dentists: Collect your verifiable CPD for this episode here >>> https://courses.dentistswhoinvest.com/smart-money-members-club———————————————————————Money worries steal focus from clinical care, yet most of us were trained to drill, fill, and bill—not to design profit. We take a candid look at why dentists often feel underpaid, then map the path from noisy busyness to calm, predictable income. With Dr Barry Holton's growth lens and Shishir Kudka's financial x-ray, we blend practical production levers—pricing confidence, diary zoning, and strong case acceptance—with the cash flow literacy that keeps a practice breathing.We start by challenging the turnover myth. Higher gross without margin control is a hamster wheel, not a win. Barry shares how fear of rejection drives undercharging, why too many recalls clog chairs, and how a simple follow-up system can uncover a hidden fortune in proposed but uncompleted treatment. Expect real numbers: one two-surgery site sat on £2.4m of diagnosed care. We talk language, team roles, and the discipline of zoning to prioritise high-value care without adding hours.Then we flip the chart to the finance side. Shishir outlines a level-zero toolkit any owner can use today: track gross profit after direct costs, set a margin floor, and run a quick liquidity stress test. We go beyond the profit and loss to cash flow and the balance sheet—because you pay bills with cash, not paper profit. Learn a simple TIPs review for your bank movements—spot trends, irregularities, patterns, and spikes—and see how better receivables, lab negotiations, and expense controls lift margins fast. We also demystify tax timing so you can forecast payments, avoid over-parking cash, and fund growth without surprises.Data quality is the clincher. Generic AI dashboards can tidy messy ledgers into pretty lies. We talk about dental-specific tooling that validates entries, connects clinical and financial views, and delivers a true 360-degree diagnosis so you can reward the right behaviour and intervene early when conversion slips. The outcome is freedom: fewer, better appointments, fees that reflect value, and a practice you steer with confidence.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

British Columbia's Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said that the budget she brought down on Tuesday wasn't an austerity budget. However, key spending areas have been given very small budget increases spread over the three-year fiscal plan, which will mean real cuts to services. In addition, the B.C. government's tax increases will hit low- to moderate income households. In their analysis released Tuesday, Marc Lee and Andrew Longhurst say the budget lays a financial burden on the poorest in BC. Marc Lee is an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He joins me today to talk about this week's provincial budget.

Read OnlineJesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. Luke 5:27–29Levi's life changed in an instant. He encountered the Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and in response to Jesus' simple yet profound invitation—“Follow me”—Levi left everything behind and followed Him. This radical decision offers an inspiring witness as we begin our Lenten journeys.Christ's call is often twofold. Even those baptized as infants must eventually hear and respond to that call for themselves. There comes a moment after the age of reason when those raised in the faith must choose whether to embrace the call to follow Jesus. For those who did not encounter Christ in their youth or who might have strayed from Him, the call is ever-present, continuously offered by God. Like Levi, once that invitation is heard and internalized, it demands a response—a radical choice to follow Him. And with that choice, life is never the same.When Levi accepted Jesus' invitation, his life underwent a complete transformation. He “left everything behind.” While his career as a tax collector was financially lucrative, it likely left him spiritually empty. Tax collectors were viewed with disdain by their fellow Jews because they worked for the Roman oppressors and often took more than what was owed for their own profit. This position, though offering wealth, created a life of moral compromise, guilt, and isolation. It was into this interior emptiness that Jesus entered. Levi, touched by an intuitive grace, recognized that abandoning everything and following Christ was the answer to his deepest longings.Have you heard Christ's call in your own life? Have you abandoned everything that stands in the way of fully following Him? This question is especially significant for those who were raised in the faith. While being baptized as a child and growing up in the Church is a great gift, it does not automatically mean that we have internalized the faith or personally responded to Jesus' invitation. Have you truly heard Jesus call you? Have you left behind everything that hinders your complete “Yes” to Him?Levi's transformation didn't stop with his “Yes.” He wanted to share his newfound joy and faith with others. Levi hosted a “great banquet” for Jesus in his home, inviting a large group of tax collectors and others to meet the One who had changed his life. His encounter with Christ was so profound and life-giving that he couldn't keep it to himself—he wanted others, especially those whom he knew were also spiritually empty, to encounter the same transformative love.If you have responded to Jesus' call and given your life to Him, your heart will naturally burn with a desire to share that joy with others. As you look at your family, friends, and acquaintances, do you see the same restlessness or emptiness that once filled your heart? How might God be calling you to invite them to encounter Christ? Perhaps, like Levi, you are called to “host a banquet” in your own way, sharing the Good News with those who need it the most.Reflect today on Levi's conversion and see your own life in his story. Recognize the restlessness within your heart and listen for Jesus' call. Identify Him as the answer to your deepest desires. Say “Yes” to His invitation, abandoning everything that competes with His will, and share the treasure of your faith with others. Embracing this twofold path is one of the best ways to ensure a truly fruitful Lent. My inviting Lord, You call to me each day, yet I often fail to listen. Help me to hear Your voice more clearly this Lent and to respond with all my heart. I choose to leave behind all that stands in the way of following You, and I pray that You will use me to invite others to Your heavenly banquet. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: © José Luiz Bernardes RibeiroSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party's flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What's new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.

What happens when fear—not ignorance—keeps people from building wealth?Tax expert and author Hannah Cole unpacks the real reasons so many people feel paralyzed around money, taxes, and financial decisions. We discuss how cultural conditioning and lack of education make taxes feel intimidating—especially for women and first-time founders—and why the system is often more flexible than people think.This conversation is about agency: understanding tax brackets, startup losses, and the difference between avoiding taxes and engaging strategically with them. At its core, it's a reframing of taxes—not as punishment, but as partnership. Because clarity, not fear, creates power.In this episode of Common Denominator with Moshe Popack, you'll learn: - Fear of numbers is a common issue that many face.- Tax literacy can empower individuals to take control of their finances.- The tax code is designed for humans, not robots.- There is a significant lack of tax education in schools.- Understanding tax brackets can prevent unnecessary fear.- The IRS is generally accommodating if approached honestly.- Business ownership offers significant tax advantages.- The government prioritizes economic growth through business support.- Many wealthy individuals evade taxes, creating a fairness issue.- Education is key to reducing fear and increasing tax compliance.Timestamps: 00:00 Understanding the Fear of Money02:48 The Importance of Tax Literacy06:03 Debunking Tax Myths and Fears09:10 Strategies for Tax Efficiency12:10 The Role of Government in Taxation15:06 Future of Work and Taxes18:07 Empowering Through Education21:01 The Fairness of the Tax SystemLike this episode?
