jillamysager.com Jill Amy Sager, a professional Tarot reader, channeler, and author whose profound work stands out in the ever-growing world of metaphysics and spiritual self-development. Jill's journey and unique perspective offer your audience a refreshing and relatable approach to accessing universal wisdom. Jill's life has been anything but conventional. Born with physical disabilities that shaped her path, she embraced her identity as an outsider, channeling her challenges into a remarkable connection with “Guidance”—a collective energy of love and wisdom she describes as “a radio frequency that's always on.” This connection has led her to help countless individuals navigate life's uncertainties through Tarot and channeled readings. Here's why Jill would make a fascinating guest for your show: Unique Approach to Spirituality: Jill's work isn't rooted in academic philosophy or spiritual dogma but in deeply personal experiences and an authentic connection with universal energy. Her insights are both accessible and transformative. A Personal Journey with Universal Lessons: From growing up with physical disabilities to finding empowerment in unconventional choices, Jill's story inspires resilience and self-acceptance. She's an advocate for using personal struggles as a catalyst for growth. Timely Expertise: With Tarot and metaphysics surging in popularity, Jill offers practical advice on how to discern trustworthy practitioners and harness these tools for personal empowerment. A Compelling New Book: Jill's latest work, Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges, delivers actionable wisdom on universal topics like anger, forgiveness, grief, and abundance. Her book provides readers with tools to embrace self-love and navigate life's complexities with clarity. Empowering Insights for All: Whether it's learning to connect with the universe, finding hope amidst suffering, or shifting from hopelessness to joy, Jill's teachings resonate across diverse audiences. A conversation with Jill could explore: The moment she first connected with “Guidance” and how it transformed her life. Practical steps for listeners to tap into their intuition and receive messages from the universe. Her perspective on why metaphysics is experiencing a cultural resurgence. The powerful correlation she's observed between overcoming physical limitations and deep spiritual connection. In an interview with you, Jill Amy Sager can answer questions such as: How did you get started reading Tarot cards? You call the energy you channel “Guidance.” Why? And how did you get started channeling? How does “Guidance” appear to you? How can someone benefit from a Tarot or channeled reading? If someone wanted to learn how to receive messages from the Universe, the other side of the veil, how would you advise them to begin? Right now interest in metaphysics, especially Tarot, is experiencing a popularity like never before. Why do you think this has happened? What should someone look for when seeking a reading from a psychic, medium or channeler? In your book you refer to how being physically disabiled from birth shaped your life. Do you think there is a correlation between being physically disabled being able to channel? Many in the world are suffering, angry, or unhappy. How can someone make the change from feeling hopeless to feeling better or is that even possible? Why did you decide to write your book, “Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges.” What do you hope people take away from reading your book? If you were to pass along Guidance's wisdom, is there one thing you would tell us that you've learned that might be helpful? Jill's warmth, wisdom, and authenticity make her a standout voice in today's spiritual landscape. She'd love to bring her insights to your listeners and offer a live reading or answer audience questions to make the conversation even more engaging.

Larry Burkett often said that capitalism must be tempered by Christian love, compassion, and stewardship.Proponents of capitalism and free markets don't often express that concern, just as believers in social welfare rarely count the cost. Jim Jones joins us today to talk about a new way of looking at those ideas.Jim Jones is a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) and Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®). He is also the author of Utopia Reimagined: An Allegory of Capital and Conscience.A Unique Approach to Biblical EconomicsUnlike typical finance books, Utopia Reimagined is a novel—a work of fiction designed to explore serious biblical and economic themes through story.Why fiction? Jesus often used storytelling to challenge people's assumptions and invite deeper reflection. From the Good Samaritan to the Prodigal Son, stories have the power to stick with us in ways data and arguments often can't. As G.K. Chesterton once quipped, “Novels are more true than science textbooks. Life is sometimes like a science textbook, but life is always a story.”The Journey of Alexander and PaulineThe novel follows two siblings—Alexander and Pauline—on a journey through contrasting societies, each representing different economic and political ideologies.Alexander, a gifted but oppressed peasant in 18th-century France, escapes a feudal system to explore new societal models. His journey takes him through a magical cave into Santosa—a society with socialist tendencies—and eventually to New York City, the heart of free-market capitalism. Along the way, Alexander wrestles with the tension between opportunity, freedom, and justice.Pauline's journey is more focused on the moral and cultural fabric of each society. Her lens offers readers a parallel exploration of what's right, just, and good—not only economically, but relationally and spiritually.Through these characters, readers are invited to explore how faith shapes our perspectives on power, wealth, justice, and human dignity. Some characters see everything through the lens of faith, while others struggle to integrate it or reject it altogether.The beauty of storytelling is that it doesn't just show you what people believe, but why they believe it. That builds compassion and opens the door to real understanding.What Does a Biblical Utopia Look Like?In the final chapters of the novel, Alexander and Pauline discover a society that reflects the fullness of God's Kingdom—a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth. It's a world where work, community, economics, and leadership are all governed by Christ's nature: sacrificial love, justice, and peace.But how do we pursue this kind of utopia now?Real change begins not at a national or global level, but in our local Christian communities. Reflecting God's image means practicing agape love—self-sacrificing care for one another—in how we use our time, money, influence, and power. We do that in community, not alone.Bringing the Vision to LifeMore than just a novel, Utopia Reimagined is a tool for discipleship and transformation. It's a call to rethink how we live, give, work, and govern in light of God's design. Through this engaging allegory, Jim Jones invites believers to dream again—anchored in Scripture and empowered by the Spirit—to reflect the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. That's why he has developed a discussion guide for churches, small groups, and communities who want to go deeper. It's available at utopiareimagined.com, where readers can also purchase the book or join a virtual conversation with Jim himself.And for a limited time, the Kindle edition is available for just $1.99.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a landlord with a duplex and want to sell it in a year. I haven't rented the top unit for a year after a bad tenant experience. What's the best way to proceed - rent it out again or sell, and how do I handle the tax implications of a potential 1031 exchange?I'm 65 and have a life insurance policy with $45,500 cash value.

Today's guest is Neil Mehta, founder of Greenoaks Capital. In 2012, aged 27, Neil left D.E. Shaw to start Greenoaks with his friend Benny Peretz. One of their first investments was in Coupang, a South Korean e-commerce company led by founder Bom Kim. Neil was so convinced of Coupang's potential that he invested 40% of their initial $50 million fund into the company—a bet that eventually returned about $8 billion. Over its first 13 years, Greenoaks has backed legendary companies like Figma, Wiz, Carvana, Stripe, Discord, Rippling, and Toast—generating over $13 billion in gross profits with a 33% net IRR. Henry Kravis, one of Neil's early investors, describes him as "extremely disciplined" with "exceptional timing" who has "gone against the tide many times." Greenoaks operates with remarkable concentration: just 55 core companies across nearly $15 billion in assets, managed by only nine investment professionals. Their approach reflects their singular pursuit: finding companies that will become a meaningful part of the S&P 500. In our wide-ranging conversation, Neil shares this mission along with his framework for identifying exceptional founders, his concept of "jaw-dropping customer experiences," and how his grandfather's gun shop in India shaped his appreciation for builders of all kinds.

"We partner with shop owners who want to grow without losing control, preserving their brand while gaining the resources to scale." "Great businesses are built on frontline employees — our job as leaders is to support them, not dictate from the top." "Customers don't come to us on their best day, so it's our job to turn frustration into trust and loyalty."

Action Steps:  Engage directly with frontline employees: Spending time in shops and talking with service advisors and technicians helps leaders stay connected to daily challenges and operations. Preserve brand identity during expansion: When growing a business, maintain the local brand's reputation and customer relationships rather than replacing it with a corporate identity. Adopt a partnership-driven growth strategy: Instead of forcing full buyouts, create opportunities for shop owners to take financial chips off the table while retaining leadership roles. Prioritize customer service and problem-solving: Train employees to turn customer frustrations into trust by offering clear solutions and a positive service experience. Leverage industry relationships for growth: Build partnerships with other operators in the market to acquire new locations and expand the business while maintaining quality service.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Could an internal succession be the right choice for your eventual agency exit? What could that sort of deal structure look like in order to ensure you're leaving the agency in the best hands possible? As one agency owner transitioned to out of the agency day-to-day, an unexpected result was an organic exit from the business with an employee buyout. A shining-star employee with the potential to be a great owner was the buyer in mind. Now the challenge was helping him get to a place where he could make the purchase. Listen to the inspiring story of adaptability and structuring the right deal to sell your agency to the right person. Eric Holter is the CEO of Cuberis, a specialized web development firm focused on the museum industry. He shares his journey from studying traditional illustration to working in web development and launching his first web company, the reasons he decided to sell and follow other dreams, and how he ended up owning another agency years later.

Eric first entered the advertising world as an illustrator using the traditional methods. He was looking for something new after freelancing for a while and knew his skills in letterpress printing and wood engraving wouldn't pay the bills. However, in 1995 he was quick to adapt to the new era brought by the internet and started his first business. Back then, all his clients were just scrambling to get a website for their businesses. Finding clients was as easy as sending them an email offering his services. This agency grew quickly to 12 employees and then was hit by two major events throughout the years: the dotcom bubble burst and 9/11, prompting a dramatic downsizing. Though the agency gradually recovered, Eric ultimately decided to sell in 2013 looking for a fresh start doing some consulting work. He wanted to help business owners learn how to run their business. One of his clients was Cuberis, whose (then) owner needed guidance in managing the business. What began as a consulting relationship evolved into an unexpected opportunity and Eric eventually purchased the agency. With this, round two of agency ownership began. Learning to Diversify Clients as the Key to Agency Survival That first blow during the dotcom bubble burst helped Eric see the initial model of direct client engagement was no longer viable. Whereas before the referrals just poured in as everyone tried to beat the competition to get a brand new website, he now needs to forge strategic alliances allowing him to continue generating business. He also needed to rethink his focus, so far marked by working primarily with small, brick-and-mortar clients. Instead, the experience gained during several difficult times and subsequent economic downturns taught him that a diverse client base can serve as a buffer against market volatility. An Unexpected Exit: What Decisions Led to Selling the Agency? Eric's decision to sell his agency emerged organically from a series of strategic decisions that began in 2000 when he hired an consultant to enhance his business management skills. In hindsight, investing in professional guidance was the beginning of a journey he hadn't anticipated. Following the consultant's advice, Eric started transitioning from an active role in his agency to developing a resilient organizational structure and empowering employees to operate independently. Initially, this move didn't have an exit strategy in mind—just sound business practices aimed at improving the agency's efficiency. However, by 2008 he felt there wasn't much for him to do at the agency, which made him restless. While he contemplated changing up things in the agency to satisfy his entrepreneurial drive, he knew it would just divert from the things that were already working. Ultimately, it became clear that instead of introducing changes just to scratch his entrepreneurial itch, it would be better to sell and move on to new things. Building a Bridge from Employee to Agency Owner When Eric decided to sell his agency, he identified an employee with  the ambition and capability to take over the business. The challenge then became structuring a deal that would make the purchase feasible for this successor. The plan was a five-year buyout with an element of owner's financing. Basically, Eric increased the employee's salary so that he could take a portion of this new salary each month and buy shares according to a distribution schedule. Over a five-year period he continued to buy shares as his equity increased. Once he hit a 45% ownership, he would buy the rest all that once through a loan. This structure not only provided the employee with a clear pathway to ownership but also allowed him to acclimate to the responsibilities of ownership without the pressure of an immediate buyout. He was able to learn about the business and develop his leadership skills under Eric's mentorship. For him, the key to succeeding with this type of structure is to take your time with the process. Ultimately, this was the best decision for the agency and for himself. Eric knew the business was in good hands and he also knew there were other things he wanted to do. He wanted to focus on helping other people run their businesses more efficiently. Not Your Time to Sell? Here are the 5 Roles of a CEO For Eric, not working in the business and feeling isolated from the work being done helped him realize he wanted to sell and move to other things. However, this doesn't have to be the case for all agency owners. You can successfully make the transition from owner to CEO and find meaning in your new role as long as you understand what that role is. The 5 roles of a CEO are: Grow and mentor the leadership team. To be the face of the company. To set vision and direction. Manage the financials. Be available for key relationships. Whatever you're doing, make sure they are part of these five roles. If it's something outside of these, you need to assess whether or not you are the one that should be doing it. If this is something you're ready to do for your agency, then selling is not the right move and you can continue being part of the business growth. If not, and you already have a plan for what you'll do after selling, then an acquisition is the best path for you. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?
