Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
Advisors spend a ton of time and money putting on seminars… but let's be honest, a lot of them leave frustrated when the room doesn't convert. The #1 mistake I see? Going off-script instead of sticking to a proven process.That's where Nick Whitaker comes in. Nick's a former advisor who's run 250+ seminars, and now he coaches advisors inside Triad on how to actually make these events work. His approach is simple: build connection up front, share content in a way that drives micro-commitments, and then guide prospects to a natural next step.The result? Advisors he coaches are consistently filling their calendars with quality appointments — even with high-net-worth clients who were previously unresponsive.In this episode, we dig into how Nick's clients are turning seminars into a predictable growth engine — from the small tweaks that get people leaning in, to the messaging shifts that build trust, to the proven steps that turn an event into a calendar full of quality appointments.5 of the biggest insights from Nick Whitaker…1. The 3-Part Framework That Makes Seminars ConvertNick reveals the simple structure every advisor should follow: connect with your audience, deliver content that creates buy-in, and guide them toward small commitments. The advisors who “wing it” or go off-script are the ones who burn opportunities and leave empty-handed.2. You Don't Have to Be the Person Who Delivers the SeminarFounders often think they have to be the one on stage, but that's a limiting belief. Nick explains how top firms separate speakers from closers—letting great presenters fill the calendar while advisors focus on the right appointments.3. How Micro-Commitments Turn Listeners Into AppointmentsThe close doesn't happen at the end—it happens all the way through. Nick shows how worksheets, checkboxes, and even nonverbal cues (like picking up a pen) keep audiences engaged and lead to natural, no-pressure conversions.4. The Seminar Tweak That Attracted $2M–$5M ClientsOne shift in delivery completely changed who booked appointments. Instead of attracting only transactional prospects, Nick's approach brought in multimillion-dollar clients who had never responded before.5. How Post-Seminar Conversations Unlock Extra AppointmentsWalking out as soon as you finish speaking is a mistake. Nick explains how spending 10 extra minutes table-to-table often turns fence-sitters into clients—and why conviction, not “sales breath,” is what prospects actually respond to.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/131FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

FIVE YEARS AGO, Nani, Moe, and Gus released the first TRIAD Of The FORCE episode! It has been such an incredible ride: we've met so many great friends, traveled to magical places, and grown so much. As we continue our journey with Chase, we look forward to the next five years. Today, after many scheduling issues, we finally assemble our Triad to celebrate and reminisce on our path so far.After looking at the past, we also spent time looking towards the future! In a post-ANDOR world, the next live-action Star Wars show will be the second season of AHSOKA! Now that an official image of Eman Esfandi as Ezra has been released, the hype has begun! We discuss the one of the post-season one-finale theories: the introduction of the Expanded Universe antagonist, ABELOTH! At first we were skeptical, but after thinking about mythic, and religious themes that could influence the character, we speculate on the connections that the biblical figure Lilith can have on Abeloth. Join us as we celebrate our FIVE YEAR milestone as we speculate about Ahsoka, and look forward to the future!• • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

Ever wondered how growing up between worlds can actually make you see your own culture more clearly? This conversation with Dr. Holly Berkley Fletcher flips the script on what it means to be a missionary kid—not just as someone with wild stories or an identity crisis, but as a kind of secret decoder for understanding white evangelicalism's grip on American politics. There's a moment here where a single high school banquet in Kenya, complete with a Confederate flag, opens up a whole hidden history most of us never learned in Sunday school. What if the very things you thought were just “normal” missionary experiences are actually the missing puzzle pieces for understanding the rise of Christian nationalism today? Stick around, because the connections Holly draws between global childhoods and the current culture wars in the U.S. will surprise you—and might even change how you see your own story. In this episode, you will be able to: Explore how white evangelicalism shapes political landscapes and influences key decisions that affect society. Discover the unique role missionary kids play in decoding the complexities of evangelical culture worldwide. Understand the challenges third culture kids face as they navigate identity, belonging, and faith across different worlds. Trace the historical roots of Christian nationalism to see how it impacts modern cultural and political conversations. My special guest is Dr. Holly Berkley Fletcher Holly Berkley Fletcher is an author and historian who really knows what it means to live between worlds. Raised in Kenya as the daughter of Southern Baptist missionaries, Holly attended Rift Valley Academy and grew up balancing both her American roots and the culture around her. Her background extends far beyond childhood, though—she earned a PhD in American Studies, taught at the university level, and later worked as a CIA analyst specializing in Africa. Holly's life as a third culture kid gives her a distinctive lens on white evangelicalism and Christian nationalism, while her research dives into how missionary kids navigate the complicated push and pull of belonging and identity. She brings a clear-eyed, honest perspective that connects personal experience with bigger questions about faith, power, and the impact of evangelical culture around the globe.

Brad Johnson is the Co-founder of Triad Partners, an organization that helps financial advisors grow their businesses. Before co-founding Triad, Brad spent 13 years at Advisors Excel as a VP of Advisor Development, coaching top financial advisors who managed over $1.5 billion in assets. Brad is also the host of the podcast, Do Business. Do Life, where he interviews thought leaders and helps financial advisors integrate their work and personal lives. Raised on a farm in Kansas, Brad's personal interests include CrossFit, bass fishing, collecting red wine, and supporting children's charities. In this episode we discuss the following: I love the Stoic lesson Brad shared about the prized cup. If we expect our prized cup to never break, we'll be devastated when it does. But if we've already been through the mental exercise of the cup breaking, it can be much easier to stay calm and confident when our prized cups do break. Being an entrepreneur is constantly dealing with broken, prized cups. I loved hearing how Brad tries to apply Jocko's advice for dealing with setbacks by responding with a simple “Good.” Brad's emphasis on seeking out mindset coaching stood out. The best athletes get the most coaching. So it makes sense that we too need regular feedback and mindset coaching to reach our potential. By jumping into the trench himself, Brad is giving himself more opportunities to deal with broken cups. And I love his advice for how we can deal with the broken cups in our lives.

Alaina faced obstacle after obstacle during her first pregnancy, which happened to be a di-di, identical twin girl pregnancy, and her initiation into motherhood resulted in the first twin being born vaginally and the second via cesarean.Recovering from a c-section plus physical separation for days from her babies due to a NICU stay didn't deter Alaina from physiologic mothering and tuning into her high nurture intuition.Alaina walks us through about her mindset, values, and support system which motivated her to break free from the mainstream narrative- especially the one perpetuated in social media- that moms of multiples must pump and rely on formula from day 1, contain their babies in containers, and separate them into their own sleeping spaces despite having spent every day together in the womb.Follow Alaina on Instagram @nurturingtwinsIf you're expecting or recently birthed multiples, you must check out her course, Embracing Infancy!

Jeffrey Epstein, R. Kelly, and Sean “Diddy” Combs are tied together by the predatory nature of their alleged crimes, each using wealth, power, and celebrity status as shields to exploit the vulnerable. Epstein lured underage girls into his trafficking network under the guise of wealth, influence, and opportunity. R. Kelly similarly preyed upon minors, manipulating aspiring young women with promises of mentorship or stardom, only to subject them to sexual abuse and coercive control. Diddy, while facing separate allegations, is accused of leveraging his industry dominance and resources to exploit and abuse individuals in private settings, maintaining control through intimidation, fear, and secrecy. At their core, the accusations against all three men follow the same pattern: predators with influence targeting the powerless and using their status to perpetuate cycles of abuse.Another disturbing similarity lies in how institutions and enablers protected them for years. Epstein's connections to billionaires, politicians, and intelligence circles insulated him from justice until public outrage made it unavoidable. R. Kelly was shielded by a music industry that continued profiting from him despite years of accusations, lawsuits, and leaked evidence. Diddy, likewise, is alleged to have been surrounded by handlers, security, and insiders who enabled or ignored misconduct in exchange for financial or career benefits. In all three cases, the machinery of fame, money, and institutional power was weaponized to keep their victims silent and the truth buried, illustrating how systemic complicity allows predators to thrive until the dam of public exposure finally breaks.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
What if the #1 reason you feel burned out is because you're unknowingly doing three completely different jobs?In this solo episode, I break down the Triad Advisor Model—the exact system top firms are using to scale without sacrificing freedom. You'll see why trying to run your practice alone is like running a Chick-fil-A by yourself—taking orders at the register, cooking the food in the back, and delivering it to the table—and how to replace that chaos with a clear, scalable system that frees you up to grow.Most advisors try to grow by doing more, but that path leads to burnout and stalled revenue. Instead, I'll show you how to divide the advisor role into three specialized positions—selling, planning, and service—so you can build a business that grows beyond you.You'll learn how to hire the right people for each role, compensate them for long-term success, and create a repeatable “advisor pod” system you can scale like clockwork.4 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) The 3 Roles That End Advisor Burnout How a Chick-fil-A-style model splits the advisor job into selling, planning, and service—so you stop doing everything yourself and start scaling with ease. #2.) The Process to Hire, Train, and Scale on Repeat A step-by-step system to find the right people, develop their skills, and build “advisor pods” you can copy and paste as your firm grows. #3.) The Personalities That Thrive in Each Role Why matching natural strengths to each advisor seat is the key to efficiency, retention, and a better client experience. #4.) How to Grow New Advisors Without Risking Big Prospects From “never leave an empty seat” to the “reverse shotgun” approach, discover how to groom future selling advisors without putting your top clients on the line.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/130FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Air Date 8/16/2025 There's the old Douglas Adams quote stating that, "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job" which is a good general rule to live by. But then there are the real baddies, those would-be leaders who possess one or more of the dark triad of traits that spells real doom for the societies that elevate them to power: narcissism, psychopathy, and machiavellianism. Today we compare and contrast Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Benjamin Netanyahu. Xi Jinping also fits nicely on this list as an honorable mention but happens to not be part of the focus today.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
What if 80% of new clients were ready to work with you before they ever met you?That's the reality Marcus Sheridan created when the 2008 recession almost bankrupted his pool business. The crisis forced him to rethink his marketing strategy–a shift that transformed his struggling company into the most visited swimming pool website in the world. How? By answering every customer question, even the uncomfortable ones, before the sales meeting ever happened.In this episode, Marcus reveals how financial advisors can apply the same approach to build unbreakable trust, shorten sales lead cycles, and create an overflowing pipeline of clients who already feel like they know, like, and trust you.We dig into the shocking amount of time that consumers spend researching products and services ahead of time, and the answers that advisors dread providing. We also discuss how advisors can leverage video, especially YouTube, to establish themselves as trusted experts in their industry, as well as the risks of being left behind and rendered obsolete by failing to adapt to AI, new technology, and the trust-building power of video.3 of the biggest insights from Marcus Sheridan…#1.) The "Big 5" Sales Topics That Clients Search Before They Hire YouMarcus breaks down the five topics every client wants to know about: cost, problems, comparisons, reviews, and "best of" lists. Bottom line: Advisors who address these topics upfront, win.#2.) How to Build Trust Before They Ever Shake Your HandWhen done right, your marketing becomes the sales process. Marcus proves his point by how clients opened the door saying, “Marcus from the pool video is here!”#3.) Why Video Content Is Your New Sales FunnelGoogle is sending less traffic to websites, thanks to AI. But YouTube traffic is up. Marcus shares how AI and buyer behavior are shifting and why your YouTube channel will soon be more important than your website.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/129FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copies of Marcus' book, "They Ask, You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing, and Today's Digital Consumer" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "129" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Back in 2019, PROJECT LUMINOUS was announced teased at Star Wars Celebration Chicago. For a year, people speculated about what this released would be. In 2020, it was to revealed to be an ongoing multimedia project called Star Wars: The HIGH REPUBLIC. Now, after three phases, multiple adult, YA and junior novels, countless comic books, some short stories, a couple of manga, the Young Jedi Adventures animated series, an appearance in the video game Jedi: Survivor, this ambitious publishing initiative has come to an end with Charles Soule's Trials Of The Jedi. After all this, was The High Republic a satisfying journey?To help answer this question, Laura Kelly from Force Toast, and Alex Damon from Star Wars Explained have joined us!

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
From protecting quarterbacks to protecting retirements, Triad Member, Terence Brown never stopped being a left tackle.After a career playing Division I football at BYU and a stint in the pros, he transitioned into financial services and brought his team-first mindset with him. Today, he leads Left Tackle Advisors—a fast-growing planning firm where protecting people's blind sides isn't just a tagline, it's deeply embedded in the culture.In this episode, Terence shares how he evolved from high-volume product sales to a planning-first model. He doesn't serve as many people, but the relationships got deeper, the work got better, and the clients got bigger.He unpacks how that transition fueled growth from $5M to $33M in annual new assets, how intentional language transformed his team's culture, and why the advisors who win long-term will be the ones who build real relationships—not just retirement plans.3 of the biggest insights from Terence…#1.) Why Language Matters More Than You ThinkTerence calls his clients “teammates”— and that one change has transformed the culture of his firm. His team doesn't “serve clients”; they protect their teammates. That small shift in language has created deeper connection, more ownership, and a community retirees actually want to be part of.#2.) Feedback Is a Superpower (If You Can Get Over Your Ego)Every athlete watches game film to improve. Terence brings that same philosophy into his business—recording every seminar, prompting AI to coach him, and treating every piece of feedback like a gift. His secret? Separating the message from the messenger so growth doesn't get blocked by ego.#3.) Solve Bigger Problems, Serve at a Deeper LevelBy shifting from a product-driven model to holistic planning, Terrence increased his average client AUM to over $700K — a significant jump from the smaller transactional accounts he started with. Fewer clients. Bigger impact. Stronger relationships. That's how he's building a firm and a legacy that lasts.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/128FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
So, you've built a team… but you're still the one putting out fires, making all the decisions, and carrying the whole business on your back.That's because most leadership models are built top-down. The founder makes the calls. The team waits for direction. And over time, the business becomes more dependent on you—not less.Keith Ferrazzi has spent two decades helping leaders break out of that trap. After coaching thousands of teams and running 3,000+ diagnostics, he found that leadership alone isn't enough. The highest-performing organizations operate through teamship—a shift from hierarchy to shared ownership, where teams push each other higher and drive results together.You might recognize Keith from his bestselling books like Never Eat Alone or Leading Without Authority. His latest book, Never Lead Alone, breaks down the 10 key shifts that help teams lead together, instead of leaning on one person to carry the load.In this episode, we get into what those shifts look like in real life. From peer-to-peer coaching to energy checks to open feedback loops, Keith shares the simple practices that help your team show up, take ownership, and lead alongside you—not behind you.3 of the biggest insights from Keith…#1.) The Peer Coaching Framework That Unlocked 50% Growth at MerrillKeith's 5-5-5 peer-to-peer coaching model helped Merrill Lynch advisors boost net new accounts by 50%—not through top-down management, but by creating safe, structured peer groups that crowdsource solutions and accelerate breakthroughs. It's a repeatable system any advisory team can implement to grow faster and smarter.#2.) Stop Leading Alone—Start Co-ElevatingKeith's newest book, Never Lead Alone, flips traditional leadership on its head. Instead of top-down command, he shows how elite teams grow faster when they hold each other accountable, run energy checks, and give honest feedback without fear. This is how teams co-elevate—and outperform.#3.) Why AI Will Replace Advisors Who Don't EvolveKeith doesn't sugarcoat it—AI is coming for the average advisor. But for those willing to lean in, it's a multiplier. Learn how to become a “black belt” in AI, build smarter communities, and use technology to deepen—not replace—your human relationships.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/127FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copies of Keith's book, "Never Eat Alone" AND "Never Lead Alone" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "127" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
Why do most financial advisors keep hiring the wrong people, despite their best efforts?After 20 years in this industry, I can tell you it's one of the biggest challenges advisors face: finding and keeping the right talent. And if you've ever felt like you're stuck with the wrong team, constantly putting out fires, or doing everything yourself… you're not alone.In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 biggest hiring mistakes that prevent advisors from building a team that scales with them—and how to fix each one. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the exact systems we use at Triad to attract top talent, avoid burnout, and buy back your time.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…1.) Mistake #1 – No Roadmap, No VisionMost advisors try to scale without an org chart, a long-term vision, or a clear team structure. Brad explains why that creates chaos—and how future-casting your growth forces better hiring decisions today.2.) Mistake #2 – You're Using Names, Not RolesIf you're still asking “What should Joe do?” instead of “What role do we need filled?”—you're already behind. This mindset leads to burnout, bottlenecks, and a team full of generalists. Brad breaks down how to flip this, so you're not stuck putting out fires every day. 3.) Mistake #3 – No Clear or Repeatable Hiring ProcessBrad shares Triad's exact step-by-step hiring process—from screening for culture and skillset to a final gut-check interview with trusted team members. You'll also learn why founders should be the last person in the interview room, not the first.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/126FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
You're growing your business, but is your marriage growing with it?In this special conversation, Sarah and I sat down with Christa Hardin—licensed therapist, Enneagram expert, and host of The Enneagram + Marriage Podcast—to share the behind-the-scenes story of how we almost separated just months after launching Triad. We talk about how the Enneagram, therapy, and a Sunday morning ritual helped us rebuild our relationship from the ground up.We open up about our journey from high school sweethearts to partners raising a family and scaling a fast-growing company—while navigating the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship and marriage.We get real about what it took to go from tension and resentment to connection and respect, and how we now support each other emotionally, practically, and professionally.If you want to build a business and a home life that both thrive, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad and Sarah…#1.) Therapy Isn't a Sign of Struggle, It's a Sign of StrengthWhat started as a tough talk in Napa turned into weekly therapy that helped Brad and Sarah reconnect—and gave their kids a model of what healthy relationships look like. Therapy isn't a weakness. It's what showing up really looks like. #2.) Hire an EA Who Manages Life, Not Just BusinessMost entrepreneurs use their EA for scheduling. Brad uses his to protect his marriage. By looping Sarah into calendar decisions, they built a system that prevents business from overrunning family and stops resentment before it starts.#3.) How Enneagram Helped Them Understand (Not Fix) Each OtherBrad's a 7 (The Enthusiast). Sarah's a 6 (The Loyalist). The Enneagram helped them move from conflict to collaboration, turning their differences into a strategic advantage, at home and in business.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/125FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Today, Chase and Gus take the time to review the latest dinosaur-film and see if having the Star Wars talents of Gareth Edwards (director of Rogue One) and Rupert Friend (the Grand Inquisitor in Obi-Wan Kenobi) can make this film soar higher than a Pterodactylus or crash harder than the last couple of Jurassic World films.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
In our industry, family-run firms are common. But handing the business down to the next generation is rarely seamless.Triad Member Ben Grosko knows that firsthand. After years of saying no to joining his dad's firm, he eventually stepped in—not just as an advisor, but as the eventual successor to a decades-long legacy.Since joining the firm in 2015, Ben has helped drive growth from $15M to $70M in annual new assets. That kind of transformation didn't come from grinding harder—it came from smarter systems, a unified client experience, and a shift from a founder-led model to a true team-first approach.In this episode, Ben opens up about what it really takes to navigate succession in a family business, scale sustainably, and build something bigger than yourself.3 of the biggest insights from Ben Grosko …1.) Succession Planning: How to Pass the Baton Without Dropping ItSuccession planning in a family business is never simple. Ben opens up about how they slowly shifted roles, responsibilities, and leadership, without letting the business (or family) fall apart.2.) Scaling From $15M to $70M in Annual New AssetsSince joining the firm in 2015, Ben has helped drive growth from $15M to $70M in annual new assets. He unpacks the systems, tech, and planning process upgrades—like eMoney and Riskalyze—that fueled that scale and created a more consistent client experience.3.) From I to We: Empowering The Entire TeamThe biggest unlock? Moving from an “I” to a “We” mindset. Shifting from a founder-led firm to a true team-driven business. Ben reveals how a team-first model—with defined roles, clear career paths, and shared ownership—freed up advisors to focus on what they do best and gave the entire firm room to scale without burnout.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/124FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

What if the key to growth wasn't more leads, but deeper relationships?Ronen Olshansky is the Co-Founder & CEO at Connected Success and business partner to Keith Ferrazzi—best-selling author of Never Eat Alone, the book that completely redefined how we think about networking. Together, they created the Beyond Connections program, which helps leaders turn those principles into real-world practice through action, community, and systems that actually scale trust.In this episode, we unpack how advisors can move beyond surface-level connections and outdated networking tactics, and start building real, reciprocal relationships that compound over time.Ronen shares how to replace scattered follow-ups with a repeatable relationship system—built on generosity, structure, and consistency. You'll learn how to stay top of mind with the right people, deepen trust over time, and turn your network into the most valuable asset in your business.3 of the biggest insights from Ronen …#1.) A Simple System to Strengthen Key RelationshipsRonen shares a simple but powerful system for relationship management: use a “second brain” to quickly capture key details after every conversation—whether it's a voice memo, note, or text to yourself—then block time each week to follow up, add value, and stay connected with your most important relationships. Paired with a dashboard to track touchpoints and relationship strength, this system keeps you consistent, intentional, and top of mind.#2.) How to Measure (and Deepen) Relationship Quality Over TimeInstead of categorizing contacts by titles or roles, Ronen introduces the RQ framework—from RQ1 (a new connection) to RQ5 (an inner-circle lifeline). It's a simple but powerful way to know who you should be investing in, and how often.#3.) Hosting Dinners That Create Connection and Open DoorsTired of stale networking events? Ronen breaks down the “Jeffersonian dinner” format—a structured, one-conversation experience that helps you connect high-level guests, spark meaningful discussion, and become the hub of your network.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/123FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a 15% discount on Ronen's 8-week program, "Beyond Connections."To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "123" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
What if the biggest threat to your culture was the language you use?As your firm scales, the way you talk about the people on your team can either create clarity or chaos. In this solo episode, I share a painful but powerful lesson I learned while building Triad Partners—from an underperforming team member we were too afraid to let go, to 100+ A-players aligned to a clear mission.You'll hear the exact mistake we made, why we had to course-correct fast, and how shifting a single word completely transformed how we hire, lead, and hold people accountable.If you're trying to scale your business without sacrificing your team's trust or performance, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson …#1.) Why “Family” Sends the Wrong MessageCalling your team a “family” feels inclusive, but it clouds expectations. It creates hesitation when tough decisions need to be made and sends mixed signals about what's acceptable. Replacing “family” with “team” gives you the clarity and confidence to lead with consistency.#2.) Families Blur Boundaries but Teams Require ThemIn a family, you show up no matter what, even when standards slip. But in business, that thinking weakens accountability. Teams work best when expectations are clear, responsibilities are defined, and everyone knows what it means to pull their weight.#3.) Belonging Should Be Earned, Not AssumedIn a family, you belong by default. On a team, you earn your spot by aligning with the mission. This mindset shift helps you attract the right people, foster buy-in, and build a culture where everyone's rowing in the same direction.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/122FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
As a financial advisor, you're taught to ask, “When do you want to retire?” But what if that question is pointing clients toward a goal they don't actually want?In this episode, I'm talking with Derek Coburn—longtime advisor and author of Let's Retire Retirement—to talk about how changing that one question can completely shift the way you serve your clients.Derek makes a strong case that instead of chasing some number or arbitrary retirement date, we should be asking: Do you even want to retire? And what are you putting off today for a future that might not play out the way you imagine?He shares why helping clients stay engaged in purposeful work—even part-time—can reduce financial pressure, increase fulfillment, and create more space for what matters most right now.Great advising isn't about getting clients to the end, it's about making the in-between years count.3 of the biggest insights from Derek Coburn …#1.) Why “Un-Retirement” Is on the RiseRoughly 25–30% of retirees are returning to work. Not because they need the money, but because they miss purpose, connection, and contribution. Derek explains why it's time for advisors to stop assuming retirement is the goal and start asking if it's even the right fit.#2.) The Time Machine Effect: Would You Pay to Go Back in Time?Derek shares a powerful thought experiment: how much would you pay to go back in time for just one more night with your kid at age 10? It's a reminder that time, not money, is our most valuable asset. As advisors, helping clients reframe retirement isn't just a financial strategy, it's a chance to give them more life in their years right now.#3.) How to Attract Clients You Actually Want to Work WithIf you're taking on clients just to hit a number, it's only a matter of time before your calendar is filled with people who drain you. Derek shares how he shifted from goal-chasing to values-aligned client growth—and why that mindset leads to both fulfillment and better results.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/121FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a copy of Derek's book, "Let's Retire Retirement" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "121" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

In the late '90s in Hong Kong, Fan Man-yee was doing everything she could to move forward. She was caring for her young son, battling addiction, and trying to build a better life for her son and herself after a very painful past. But when a man who once paid for her time decided she owed him more, everything she was working to protect started to fall apart. What followed was a living hell that would drag on for a month behind closed doors.Connect with Paige:Instagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrime TikTok: tiktok.com/@paige.elmore Facebook: facebook.com/reverietruecrime Twitter/X: twitter.com/reveriecrimepod BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.social Tumblr: reverietruecrimepodcast.tumblr.com Intro and Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_officialSources:https://www.newspapers.com/image/331482258https://www.newspapers.com/image/331482261https://www.newspapers.com/image/504652910https://www.newspapers.com/image/511527474https://www.newspapers.com/image/504654411https://www.newspapers.com/image/496380372https://www.newspapers.com/image/1086831930https://www.newspapers.com/image/996717885https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=81992&page=1https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2000/12/09/hello-kitty-murder-case-horrifies-hong-kong/bafa4ff1-bbf6-4d28-b0cc-2eea9bef43d0/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Kitty_murder_casehttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/210591797/fan-man-yeehttps://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2020/09/12/recounting-the-horror-of-the-hello-kitty-mermaid-doll-murderhttps://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/articles/hello-kitty-murder-hong-kongs-most-devastating-crimehttps://www.thescarechamber.com/hello-kitty-murder/https://thoughtnova.com/the-hello-kitty-murderhttps://www.xaluannews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3223517https://www.grimoireofhorror.com/the-yurei/hello-kitty-murder-fan-man-yee/#google_vignettehttps://allthatsinteresting.com/hello-kitty-murder-casehttps://www.goalcast.com/hello-kitty-murder/https://the-line-up.com/hello-kitty-murderhttps://curioustic.com/hello-kitty-murder-death-of-fan-man-yee/https://www.thereviewgeek.com/where-are-the-hello-kitty-killers-now/https://www.ranker.com/list/hello-kitty-murder-facts/cat-mcauliffehttps://moonmausoleum.com/the-ghost-of-the-hello-kitty-murder/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.
