How are your “artful interruption” skills? This is a challenging yet essential skill for countering advice-giving patterns when facilitating coaching circles, peer learning groups, or team meetings. Inspired by a former student's question about redirecting well-intentioned advice-givers without disrupting group dynamics, Meg provides practical strategies for facilitators who want to cultivate curiosity over knowing in group settings. By introducing the “two muscle framework,” along with specific techniques, visual cues, and verbal redirects, Meg demonstrates how to protect the coaching space and help people discover their own solutions. Learn how you can help safeguard space for learning and discovery! Join us to learn more!Show Highlights:The challenge of incorporating polite, thoughtful interruptions into a coaching culture: Why is this an essential and highly relevant topic in today's coaching space?Understanding the two-muscle framework: the “knowing muscle” and the “curiosity muscle” (We short-circuit the creative process when we rush in with answers and advice)Advice-giving in groups is problematic in several specific ways. Setting the stage before the first session with non-negotiables:Pre-frame the purpose and agreements. Explain the “muscle” metaphor.Model what “good” looks like.Create psychological safety around interruption.Address the elephant in the room by naming what makes this challenging to do.The Facilitator's Toolkit, Six Specific Strategies for Interrupting Skillfully:The Appreciative Redirect (Acknowledge, redirect, and teach)The Pause and Pivot (Put your idea in the “parking lot” to give them time to think through and explore.)Visual Cues and Signals (These can be fun with card signals, the “muscle-flex” gesture, and a “parking lot” for ideas. Meg even has suggestions for using these with virtual meetings.)The Pattern Interrupt with Choice (Give agency while redirecting behavior.)Reflection Break (This is where the deepest learning happens.)The Question Upgrade (This is teaching in real-time.)Understanding when stepping in with advice and expertise is valuable (Use both/and thinking about coaching vs. advising.)A measuring stick question: “What creates more lasting impact, being told or discovering?”Practical tips for implementation:Start with shorter rounds.

David McKnight explores the five biggest retirement mistakes people make. When it comes to retirement "traps", the obvious things such as picking the wrong stock, missing the next bull market or retiring at the wrong time are what typically comes to mind… The first mistake people tend to make when it comes to their retirement is believing that tax diversification is good enough. "Having the bulk of your wealth in tax-deferred accounts is like going into a business partnership with the IRS: every year, they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. Not a very good business partnership, if you ask me," says David. The next mistake is one of the most subtle and expensive mistakes retirees make: ignoring the standard deduction when doing Roth conversions. The third big retirement mistake people make is trying to time the market instead of timing the tax code. Remember: "Markets move up and down, but when a country is in a debt crisis, tax rates only move in one direction: Up!"  Are you using bonds as safe money in retirement? That's what the fourth retirement planning mistake David has encountered often in his busy work schedule.  David suggests to time the tax code, instead of timing the market… Replacing your bonds with annuities that have a guaranteed lifetime income feature is something you should consider. The fifth and final mistake to stay away from is not taking enough risk in retirement. David explains that your annuities can provide income in the year after a down year in your stock portfolio. That gives your stocks a chance to recover before you take further distributions. Don't forget, the stock portion of the portfolio has one job and one job only: Make sure your money lasts a full 30-year retirement.     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 Tom Hegna

You should download my free TOOLKIT for new record labels... http://otherrecordlabels.com/toolkit   Thanks to LANDR for sponsoring this episode. landr.com/otherrecordlabels   Contracts and royalties are where a lot of people get stuck—and for good reason. Record labels have a long history of bad deals, broken trust, and artists getting the short end of the stick. In Episode 7 of How to Start a Record Label This Year, Scott tackles this head-on and explains how modern independent labels can do things differently. This episode walks through the fundamentals of contracts and royalties from a practical, empathetic perspective—without legal jargon and without pretending there's a one-size-fits-all solution. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you do need contracts—and why they protect artists as much as labels When to involve a music attorney (and why templates and AI contracts fall short) Common contract terms artists actually care about (term length, exclusivity, territory) How licensing master recordings works for indie labels Why 50/50 profit sharing has become a modern standard How to structure fair splits while keeping the label sustainable The importance of having these conversations before any music is released Scott emphasizes that the most important part of any contract isn't the paperwork—it's the conversation. Clear expectations, honest communication, and transparency from day one are what turn contracts from something scary into something empowering.

With a new year comes new goals and new hopes and dreams. This season, Anne and Frances are introducing a new segment called Toolkit: a practical guide to ideas, tools, and frameworks that can help you reach your goals at work and beyond.

Most physicians are trained to manage what's in front of them.What we're rarely taught is how to step far enough back to ask whether the direction itself still makes sense.In this January Reset re-air, I'm bringing back my conversation with Dr. Neal Douglas, a family medicine physician at Heritage Family Medicine in Hood River, Oregon.Dr. Douglas shares openly about building a successful career that slowly drifted out of alignment with his life, his family, and his values. His story isn't about optimizing productivity — it's about reordering priorities and designing a practice that supports the life he wants to be present for.You'll hear how creating a clear priority list reshaped not just his work, but his sense of fulfillment and sustainability as a physician.

You should download my free TOOLKIT for new record labels... http://otherrecordlabels.com/toolkit   Thanks to LANDR for sponsoring this episode. landr.com/otherrecordlabels   People love to say there's no money in the music industry. And honestly? It can feel that way—especially when you're just getting started. In Episode 6 of How to Start a Record Label This Year, Scott tackles this myth head-on and shares what he's seen firsthand after nearly a decade of working with independent labels across every genre imaginable. Not major labels. Not household names. Real, niche, often obscure labels that are quietly building sustainable, profitable businesses. This episode breaks down: Why some indie labels are thriving while others stay stuck The difference between struggling revenue streams and sustainable ones Traditional label income (streaming, physical sales, sync, merch) Why the healthiest labels rely on multiple revenue streams How predictable income and release cycles balance each other The power of creating one unique revenue stream no one else has Scott explains why diversification—not chasing trends—is what keeps labels alive long-term, and why many of the most inspiring labels succeed by combining music with something bigger: studios, stores, education, events, or entirely new ideas that only they could create.

The focus of this episode is on what Dave Ramsey refers to as the only three investments he owns. "I have three investments: my business, paid-for real estate with no mortgages, and mutual funds," says Ramsey.  He goes on to emphasize that he doesn't play single stock, doesn't screw around with gold or Bitcoin, and that he doesn't need your stock tip from your "broke golfing buddy with an opinion." Host David McKnight wonders whether Ramsey's investment model actually works in principle, and if parts of it can be replicated by everyday investors… Ramsey's business functions in two powerful ways: it provides current cash flow so he doesn't have to draw down investments, and it represents a large future liquidity event – this alone dramatically reduces the pressure on the rest of his portfolio. David highlights the fact that Ramsey doesn't pick individual stocks. Instead, he spreads his money across the entire global stock market using mutual funds. Ramsey famously advocates an even split: 25% in growth and income funds, 25% in aggressive growth funds, and 25% in international funds. David's recommendation is to "Invest 70% in a total U.S. stock market index, 30% in a total international stock market index, and 0% in bonds."  By doing that, you'll own the entire market instead of trying to outsmart it. It is possible to adopt a 100% stock portfolio even if you don't own a business or don't have a paid off real estate throwing off residual income – David explains how. You could have a guaranteed lifetime income annuity have the same role played by real estate in Dave Ramsey's approach.     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 Dave Ramsey

Not all misalignment shows up as exhaustion.Sometimes medicine works - the protocols are correct, the outcomes are acceptable - and yet something essential feels missing.In this January Reset re-air, I'm revisiting my conversation with Dr. Meena Julapalli, a pediatric dermatologist whose work spans direct care, creativity, and healing.Dr. Julapalli speaks honestly about practicing inside systems that prioritize efficiency and algorithms, and what gets lost when time, presence, and relationship are squeezed out of care.

David McKnight addresses a myth floating around the financial world: "For a Roth conversion to make sense, you need many years for the Roth to grow so you can recoup the taxes you paid to the conversion." David stresses why this way of thinking is fundamentally wrong – it's built on the wrong assumption that all the money in your IRA belongs to you… when it actually doesn't. Remember: your IRA isn't one pile of money but two piles sitting in the same account. One pile belongs to you, while the other to the IRS. What's unknown is how big the IRS' pile is going to be when you eventually take the money out of the account. David goes on to explain what happens as both piles grow and required minimum distributions kick in. You may end up with the IRS' pile being not just larger but taxed at a much higher rate too. With a Roth conversion, on the other hand, your conversion translates into you carving out the IRS' portion and handing it to them today – settling the bill while the balance is smaller and the rate may be lower. There's a key question David invites you to keep in mind when it comes to Roth conversions: "Is your tax rate lower today than it will be when you take the money out?"  The exploding national debt of over $200 trillion dollars in unfunded obligations for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are going to require spending cuts, higher taxes, or some combination of the two. Beware: the problem with most retirement plans is that they assume that tax rates will stay low forever!  David points out that Roth conversions aren't about timing the market but about timing the tax code. In other words, they're about timing the advantage of known measurable tax rates today instead of gambling on unknown ones tomorrow.     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

At the start of a new year, many physicians don't feel burned out, they feel unsettled.In this January Reset re-air, I'm bringing back my conversation with Dr. Cindy Dafashy, a family medicine physician who opened her direct primary care practice directly out of residency.This episode isn't about how quickly she launched or whether her path should be copied. It's about the distinction she names so clearly between being clinically prepared and actually feeling ready.Dr. Dafashy reflects on learning medicine inside a culture designed primarily for physicians, then realizing that patients don't live inside that world at all. She shares how shifting away from medical language and toward patient-centered communication changed not just her practice, but her sense of alignment as a physician.You'll also hear her talk about boundaries and how she set expectations early, how she framed access without over-promising, and how she protected her energy before burnout ever took hold.This episode pairs closely with the free January reflection worksheet, Is DPC Right for You?, especially if you're navigating early-career uncertainty or wondering whether something that looks “right” on paper actually feels sustainable.As you listen, notice what resonates and what creates tension.

You should download my free TOOLKIT for new record labels... http://otherrecordlabels.com/toolkit   Thanks to LANDR for sponsoring this episode. landr.com/otherrecordlabels   Imposter syndrome is one of the biggest reasons people never start a record label. That quiet (or loud) voice asking: Who am I to do this? Why would anyone care about my taste, my curation, or my point of view? In this episode, Scott breaks down why imposter syndrome never really goes away—even for Grammy-winning label owners—and why that's actually good news. Instead of waiting to feel “qualified,” he reframes the conversation around what truly makes a record label valuable: your unique taste, your lived experience, and the specific combination of influences only you can bring to the table. You'll learn how to: Understand why imposter syndrome is normal at every level of the music industry Identify the unique ingredients that make your label different (genre, geography, format, values, and that all-important X-factor) Stop comparing yourself to existing labels and start owning your own curation If you've been stuck in analysis paralysis, feeling like an outsider, or waiting for permission to begin—this episode is your reminder that no one else can build the label you're meant to create. Because yes, we're all imposters. And that's exactly why your record label matters.   Branding Your Record Label (Why the Name Matters Less Than You Think) In Episode 2 of How to Start a Record Label This Year, Scott dives into branding—specifically how to name your label, define your identity, and build a brand that actually connects with the right audience. If you've been stuck obsessing over the perfect label name, this episode is your permission slip to move on. Scott breaks down why your name won't make or break your label, what does matter when choosing one, and how to avoid common mistakes that can slow you down before you even release music. This episode covers: Why most successful labels weren't built on clever names—but clear identity Practical rules for choosing a label name (logos, domains, searchability, and social handles) How niche, taste, and curation form the real foundation of your brand Using genre, geography, format, and values to “dog-whistle” to your audience Translating your niche into visual branding, design, and consistency Branding isn't just logos and colors—it's the sum of your taste, your mission, and the community you're building. When done right, someone should be able to spot one of your records from across the room and know it belongs to your label. This episode will help you stop overthinking, pick a name, define your niche, and start building a label identity that feels intentional, confident, and unmistakably yours.

This episode revolves around President Donald Trump's claim that, due to the massive tsunami of tariff revenue that's flowing into the U.S. coffers, Americans won't have to pay income tax in 2026. David McKnight looks at the 2025 fiscal year: the Federal Government spent about $7 trillion and brought in about $5 and a quarter trillion in revenue. While breaking down the math related to the 2025 fiscal year, David points out that "Revenue from income taxes is the single largest source of Federal revenue", while "Tariffs, by contrast, are one of the smallest." Even Trump's own economic team, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has said that in an extremely optimistic scenario, tariff revenue might someday reach $500 billion a year – which is only about ⅕ of what gets collected in income taxes. By looking at the numbers, it's clear that the proposed tariff-funded $2,000 check for each of the 340 million Americans wouldn't work: it would cost roughly $680 billion against a tariff revenue that only amounts to $195 billion… David clarifies a key point about tariffs. They're not paid by foreign governments, they're paid by U.S. importers. In other words, tariffs are simply a tax on consumers. There's an additional problem that shouldn't be overlooked. Not only do tariffs not generate enough revenue, but they can also lead to retaliation by other countries imposing their own tariffs on American exports. This means that an American effort to try to raise trillions of dollars through tariffs could end up costing heavily on its own people.  David is crystal clear: While these types of claims make for great sound bites, the federal budget still has to obey the mathematical laws of the universe, and the math makes it clear: There's no world in which tariffs could ever eliminate the need for an income tax. By the look of things, the U.S. is marching into a future where the federal government will soon need huge infusions of cash just to pay the interest on its exploding national debt. To forestall this, the U.S. government will have to double federal income taxes in or around 2035.  That's why, David says, having a dialed-in strategy to get your retirement savings shifted from 401(k)s and IRAs to Roths is more important than ever.     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 President Donald Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent  Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania 

You should download my free TOOLKIT for new record labels... http://otherrecordlabels.com/toolkit   Thanks to LANDR for sponsoring this vid. landr.com/otherrecordlabels   Imposter syndrome is one of the biggest reasons people never start a record label. That quiet (or loud) voice asking: Who am I to do this? Why would anyone care about my taste, my curation, or my point of view? In this episode, Scott breaks down why imposter syndrome never really goes away—even for Grammy-winning label owners—and why that's actually good news. Instead of waiting to feel “qualified,” he reframes the conversation around what truly makes a record label valuable: your unique taste, your lived experience, and the specific combination of influences only you can bring to the table. You'll learn how to: Understand why imposter syndrome is normal at every level of the music industry Identify the unique ingredients that make your label different (genre, geography, format, values, and that all-important X-factor) Stop comparing yourself to existing labels and start owning your own curation If you've been stuck in analysis paralysis, feeling like an outsider, or waiting for permission to begin—this episode is your reminder that no one else can build the label you're meant to create. Because yes, we're all imposters. And that's exactly why your record label matters.

We're learning how to understand the language of the body and why listening to your nervous system is essential for building resilience.I'm joined by Nkem Ndefo, founder of Lumos Transforms and creator of The Resilience Toolkit  (a trauma-informed framework that weaves somatic awareness, compassion, and social justice into practical, accessible tools for healing). Nkem is a licensed nurse-midwife, somatic practitioner, and educator known for her trauma-informed approach to healing and resilience.Together, we explore how stress and trauma shape the way we move through the world, what happens when your nervous system becomes overloaded, and how to recognize when you're reaching your limits. We also talk through practical ways to come back into balance (especially in moments of chaos) by learning to work WITH your body instead of AGAINST it.✨ If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you - Nkem also gifts us with simple, practical tools from her Resilience Toolkit to support grounding & self-regulation.

Co-Writer, Director, and Producer Mona Fastvold joins the Toolkit for an in depth discussion of her incredible new period musical.

David McKnight addresses a brand new proposal that could transform the way Americans use Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k) – and that could have serious implications for your retirement flexibility, liquidity, and long-term tax strategy. With the current status quo, if a person has money in a 401(k) or even a Roth 401(k), they can usually roll it out into an IRA when they retire or leave their job. However, money can't roll the other direction: you can't take a Roth IRA and move it into a Roth 401(k)... A new bipartisan bill introduced by Republican Representative Darin LaHood and Democrat Representative Linda Sánchez aims to change that. Under this proposal, you could roll your Roth IRA into an employer-sponsored Roth account like a Roth 401(k), a Roth 403(b) or even a Roth 457 plan. This change could mean less paperwork, potentially lower fees, and a simpler investment picture. David cites simplicity, cost and protection as a few of the reasons why lawmakers may want this bill to pass. One of the incentives for Washington may have to do with the fact that encouraging people to use Roth accounts – which are taxed up front – can generate more short-term tax revenue for the government. Everything isn't as good as it seems, though. David lists a few of the trade-offs involved with this potential change. Firstly, loss of control. When your money is in a Roth IRA, you can invest it wherever you want: Index funds, EFTs, individual stocks, and more. With an employer plan, your investment menu would be limited by the options the plan administrator offers. The so-called Five-Year Rule is another aspect worth considering. Typically, every Roth account has to be open for at least five years or until 59 ½, whichever is later, before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free.  Here's the tricky part: Each different kind of Roth account has its own five-year clock. This could turn into a logistical nightmare for plan administrators. David shares some final considerations regarding who would benefit and who may get negatively affected by the proposed bill and points out that "Not all Roths are created equal."     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 Darin LaHood Linda Sánchez Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

In today's episode, David McKnight breaks down the creditor protection rules for Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s, as well as why more and more Americans are turning to tax-free accounts to insulate themselves from creditors… and the Government itself. In theory, under Federal Law, all IRAs traditional or Roths receive a certain level of bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. However, that protection is specifically tied to bankruptcy proceedings. If you're sued in civil court, the Federal bankruptcy statute doesn't automatically apply, state law takes over… By pointing out differences between states like Texas, Arizona and Florida on one end, and California and Montana on the other, David explains that whether your Roth IRA survives a potential lawsuit intact depends largely on the state in which you reside. Roth 401(k)s play by a different set of rules, as they fall under the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). David notes that "ERISA is the big Federal law that governs most employer-sponsored retirement plans, and it comes with some of the strongest creditor  protection available anywhere in the financial world."  According to David, it's not hard to see why the Federal Government is going to need huge infusions of new revenue in the very near future. Wondering how they will be raising that capital? By targeting the nearly $45 trillion in tax-deferred retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k). In other words, while your retirement accounts may indeed be largely immune to lawsuits, they're entirely exposed to the impact of rising tax rates. David points out that contributing to 401(k)s or IRAs is like going into a business partnership with the IRS – every year, they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. Remember: a well-planned Roth strategy doesn't just shield you from tomorrow's higher tax rates, it can also serve as a fortress protecting your wealth from outside claims.     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 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)

Send us a textMany of us want the holiday season to be a time of connection and celebration, but this time of year can also be complicated.

This episode features David McKnight sharing the top five reasons why a Roth 401(k) is far superior to a traditional 401(k). Something important to keep in mind: the decision you make today will determine how much of your retirement money your future self actually gets to keep. David touches upon the fact that choosing the wrong 401(k) could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary taxes in retirement. Tax rate risk is the first big reason why you should consider investing in a Roth 401(k) over a traditional 401(k). David lists a series of key questions people who invest in a traditional 401(k) often fail to ask themselves. The second reason to consider a Roth 401(k) over a traditional 401(k) is Social Security taxation. Most people believe that Social Security is tax-free…but it's not. 50% of your Social Security, plus wages, pensions, and interest, as well as all withdrawals from traditional IRAs and traditional 401(k)s, are what the IRS counts as provisional income. The third reason for choosing a Roth 401(k) and not a traditional 401(k) has to do with something that most retirees never plan for: Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). Remember: "When you control your taxable income, you control your Medicare costs." Required Minimum Distributions (or RMDs) are the fourth reason for opting for a Roth 401(k). The fifth reason for going for a Roth 401(k) instead of a traditional 401(k) has to do with your heirs. When they inherit a traditional 401(k), it becomes a tax bomb. So, why choose a Roth 401(k) over a traditional 401(k)?
