John is committed to building out capabilities that empower advisors and support the financial independence of their clients. He focuses on creating a thriving community of complete wealth managers. Before becoming President, John led Kestra's Wealth Management division, where he drew on his global leadership experience to drive growth, innovation, and advisor success. John shares with Jack why he made the leap from wirehouse to the independent space, how Kestra is building out a holistic ecosystem for advisors, and what the firm is learning about one of the most critical issues facing the industry today—succession planning. John also discusses the recent industry study on succession planning and why it's a necessary and often deeply personal issue for financial advisors.

It's another thing to have it built into the platform so that it's easier for our advisors to use." ~ John Amore "It's interesting to learn that only 6% of the advisors surveyed have a written succession plan, which is fascinating for an industry that gets paid to give financial planning advice." ~ John Amore "Anyone who has been successful in this business, chances are they started because they were good or appreciate the power of relationships." ~ John Amore Links  John Amore on LinkedIn Kestra Financial UBS Stephen Langlois Kestra Holdings James Poer Kestra Investment Management Kara Murphy CBS Brokerage Bluespring Wealth Partners LPL Financial Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

 Wall Street noise is loud—Barry Ritholtz shows you How Not to Invest. In this episode, we cut through models, headlines, and hype to focus on the few decisions that actually compound. Barry shares a practical framework for decision-making grounded in behavioral finance: why models are “wrong but useful,” how to build a checklist to filter signal from noise, and why broad indexing should anchor most portfolios. We dig into direct indexing for tax management, the attention economy's impact on investors, and the real effects of tariffs and Fed timing on markets and Main Street. He also maps the “two businesses” every investor must master: deploying capital quietly for decades and consuming information without getting captured by clickbait. If you're curious about AI's productivity boost, global mean reversion beyond the U.S., and realistic expectations after back-to-back strong years, this conversation is for you. By the end, you'll know How Not to Invest—and what to do instead.Connect with Barry Ritholtz: hownottoinvestbook.com Chapters:00:00 – Introduction02:32 – “All models are wrong, some are useful” & avoiding media-driven fear16:21 – Wealthy vs. middle-class planning: indexing, direct indexing, tax loss harvesting20:19 – AI's real impact on advisors, workflows, and productivity24:46 – Where are the opportunities?

A new survey from U.S. Bank found that many Americans are making smart choices with their money, but many feel progress is elusive because the goals people care about (buying a home, retiring comfortably, building wealth), depend on economic forces beyond their control.

To help unpack these strategies, Nicole is joined by U.S. Bank's Scott Ford, Head of Wealth Management at U.S. Bank, and Kate Phelan, California Regional Director of Strategic Wealth Planning and Advice. They cover how to prepare for buying a home, what to prioritize at different life stages, how to approach retirement in a world where it's getting longer and less predictable, and what small money wins you can start today to build real momentum. They also talk about how to prepare for disaster, and Nicole opens up about rebuilding her life and studio after losing her home in the LA fires. Whether you're rebuilding from life's curveballs or just trying to get your financial footing, this episode is packed with real-world advice and heart.

COSTLY MISTAKES NOT HAVING ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENTS FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Estate planning isn't only for the wealthy. Without the right documents, families may face legal challenges, financial stress, and uncertainty. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why putting off estate planning is a costly mistake, and how to avoid it. Full Description Estate planning is often misunderstood. Many assume it's only necessary for people with large estates, but in reality, nearly everyone benefits from having key documents in place. A lack of planning can leave families unprepared, force courts to make critical decisions, and create unnecessary stress during already difficult times. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge discuss the risks of not having essential estate planning documents. They explain the role of wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives in ensuring that your wishes are carried out. They also highlight how trusts can provide structure for transferring assets, minimizing disputes, and reducing costs for loved ones. Listeners will hear stories of families caught unprepared because estate documents weren't updated—or never created. Sandy and Tyler emphasize that estate planning is not a one-time task. It must evolve with changes in family circumstances, financial situations, and state or federal laws. The episode also explores the emotional benefits of planning. Having documents in place allows families to focus on care and connection instead of conflict and confusion. It's not just about money; it's about protecting the people and priorities that matter most. At BWFA, we work with clients to review and update estate planning as part of a comprehensive financial strategy. This episode highlights why it's important to act now rather than wait until it's too late. For more information, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

If you've ever wondered why Buffett isn't buying more stocks when markets are soaring, this video will give you clear insight into how the Oracle of Omaha thinks about value investing and capital allocation.#stockmarket #warrenbuffet #investing #15minutesoffinance #economy Warren Buffet's Investment Philosophy Article:https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ownman.pdf15 Minutes of Finance is produced by West & Walters Tax and Wealth Management, an independent financial advisory and CPA firm in Carlsbad, California.

Episode 117: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Jacqueline Martinez, Managing Partner at Alaris Acquisitions. Previously part of United Capital's M&A team, Jacqueline contributed to $10.5B in acquisitions before the firm's 2019 sale to Goldman Sachs. Now at Alaris, she and her team have closed more than 50 deals with leading wealth management firms. Recognized for her leadership in culture-first M&A, Jacqueline was named M&A Executive of the Year in Wealth Solutions Report's Pathfinder Awards and honored among WealthManagement.com's "Ten to Watch" in 2025.  Kyle and Jacqueline discuss what makes a truly successful merger or acquisition in the wealth management industry. Jacqueline unpacks how data, AI, and cultural alignment can make or break a deal, why emotional intelligence matters as much as financials, and what sellers can do to ensure they're choosing the right partner for the next chapter of their business. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:44) - Jacqueline's money moment (04:02) - United Capital's secret to success (06:51) - The psychology of finding the right buying partner (09:19) - Inside Alaris Lens (12:41) - How to vet potential buyers (14:46) - How Alaris Lens can help find the right culture fit for companies (20:40) - How to verify a buyer's promises and programs (23:25) - How to handle 'cold feet' moments during the sales process (27:36) - The role of the seller's current tech stack in a deal's success (31:50) - The impact of having centralized data in the valuation of a firm (33:22) - Jacqueline's outlook on the future of the industry (34:45) - Jacqueline's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Focus on alignment points, not just price. The best partnerships start when both sides clearly define what they want — from deal structure to future vision — long before the negotiation table. Data brings clarity. Matching firms based on quantifiable factors reduces surprises later. Data-driven fit creates long-term success. Prepare emotionally, not just financially. Every deal comes with "freak-out moments." Knowing they're normal and working through the fears helps avoid walking away from a great opportunity. Ask the hard questions — twice. Sellers need to verify every promise made by potential buyers. Ask for data. Talk to past partners. Consistency in answers reveals the truth. Quotes "Every conversation or piece of information that you're sending to a buyer is like a constant evaluation of the risk of your business." ~ Jacqueline Martinez "Everyone says cultural fit, but what does that really even mean? If the buyer aligns well with the seller's needs, that's a much better foundation for exploring the cultural fit." ~ Jacqueline Martinez "It's important when you're running your business to make better decisions throughout the journey. Particularly in a sales process. There's always a risk evaluation that's happening, and you want to appear as organized and professional as possible and deliver the data people are asking for." ~ Jacqueline Martinez Links  Jacqueline Martinez on LinkedIn Alaris Acquisitions United Capital Financial Advisors Goldman Sachs Joe Duran Brandon Gage Jarrod Upton It Ends with Us Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

The allegations surrounding Mary Erdoes, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase's Asset and Wealth Management division, focus on what she knew—and when—about Jeffrey Epstein's criminal conduct while the bank continued doing business with him. Epstein remained a JPMorgan client from the late 1990s until 2013, despite his 2008 sex crime conviction and repeated internal warnings about his activities. Internal compliance emails revealed that by 2006, Epstein's accounts were already raising red flags for suspicious activity, and by 2011, Erdoes was directly alerted to legal developments confirming his sex-offender status—she reportedly responded with a short “Oh boy.” Testimony and internal records suggest that Erdoes and then–general counsel Stephen Cutler held the authority to terminate Epstein's banking relationship but did not exercise it, even as other staff raised serious concerns. Multiple reports indicate she continued corresponding about Epstein's status and compliance reviews, demonstrating a level of awareness inconsistent with the bank's later public claims that knowledge of his misconduct was confined to lower levels.Critics argue this places Erdoes near the center of JPMorgan's failure to cut ties sooner, implying that the decision to keep Epstein as a client was not a mere oversight but a conscious choice by top management to preserve a lucrative relationship. During litigation brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands and Epstein's survivors, JPMorgan's internal communications were unsealed, showing that Epstein's financial activity had been reviewed annually and still cleared for continuation under Erdoes's division. Jes Staley, Epstein's primary contact within the bank, later testified that Erdoes “had full authority” to drop him but chose not to. Erdoes herself has denied any knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking operations, stating that her involvement was limited to compliance oversight and that Epstein was eventually off-boarded once risk assessments changed. Nevertheless, the accumulated evidence—from internal memos to executive testimony—has left a troubling picture of institutional willful blindness at the highest level of the world's largest bank.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Cynthia Honcharenko, Director of Fixed Income Portfolio Management, joins the podcast to deliver a report on this week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting; be sure to read her companion piece, “The Gentle Cut: Easing Without Euphoria” on our Weekly Investment Brief feed. Our discussion tracks how the equity and bond markets behaved leading up to, and following, the meeting, and what to expect going forward. We also touch on this week's earnings reports from several big tech companies, and what positive trade talks between the United States and China might mean for the future. Speakers:Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment StrategyCynthia Honcharenko, Director of Fixed Income Portfolio ManagementRajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed IncomeStephen Hoedt, Head of Equities 01:30 – Expected reports on initial unemployment claims, GDP, and inflation were not published this week due to the ongoing government shutdown, which is on track to be the longest in history once it surpasses the 2018 record of 34 days.03:20 – Coverage of this week's FOMC meeting, including the 25 basis point cut to the federal funds rate, two diametric dissents, the themes and opinions driving that decision, and Chair Powell's warning that another rate cut in December is far from guaranteed as we see signs of a weakening labor market, elevated inflation, and a lack of data to make informed decisions due to the government shutdown.05:43 – In reaction to the FOMC meeting and Powell's assertion that a December rate cut is less likely than previously expected, the markets experienced a bit of a reversal of recent gains that were driven by that expectation.07:43 – We discuss the five candidates that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed this week. They include three current and former Fed Governors, the current Director of the National Economic Council, and a BlackRock executive.10:03 – Q3 earnings reports continue to send the stock market higher. The reports from this week's big companies were Amazon and Alphabet, which were both positive, Apple, which underwhelming but not bad, and Meta and Microsoft, which were both somewhat negative. 12:25 – Positive news from trade talks between the United States and China might reduce the elevated sentiment of geopolitical risk that hit the markets in the first few months of the year on tariff threats, and which has been a question mark ever since.14:58 – The fixed income market has seen some widening in credit spreads following the FOMC meeting, but generally positive credit conditions and future corporate bond issuance herald a robust November. Additional ResourcesRead: The Gentle Cut: Easing Without Euphoria – 10/29/2025 FOMC UpdateAsk: Key Questions: Active ETFs or Mutual Funds: Which Belongs in Your Portfolio?  Key QuestionsSubscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletterWeekly Investment BriefFollow us on LinkedIn

COSTLY MISTAKES THE DOWNSIDES OF EARLY PAYOFF FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode For many homeowners, paying off the mortgage feels like the ultimate financial milestone. But doing it too early can sometimes create unintended consequences. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why paying off your mortgage may not always be the best move in retirement. Full Description Owning a home free and clear is a common financial goal. It provides emotional satisfaction, eliminates a major monthly bill, and can feel like the ultimate symbol of financial security. Yet for retirees, rushing to pay off a mortgage can be a costly mistake if it disrupts cash flow or limits investment opportunities. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explore the trade-offs of using retirement funds to eliminate mortgage debt. They explain how withdrawing large sums to pay off a loan can trigger higher taxes, reduce liquidity, and leave less money invested for growth. While debt-free living has its appeal, it may not always align with long-term financial health. Listeners will hear why context matters—interest rates, tax brackets, and income sources all play a role in whether paying off a mortgage makes sense. Sandy and Tyler share examples of retirees who balanced a modest mortgage with strong investment growth, ultimately ending up with more flexibility and wealth than if they had paid off the loan immediately. The key lesson is that mortgage decisions should be made within the larger framework of a retirement plan. By weighing both the financial and emotional aspects, retirees can choose the approach that provides confidence today while protecting future stability.

Whether you've thought about packing up for a lower-tax destination or simply want to understand what happens if you ever did, this episode is for you.Leaving Canada isn't as simple as booking a flight south. The moment you cut tax residency ties, the CRA treats your assets as if you sold them all — and the exit bill can be staggering. But even if you plan to stay, understanding these rules can help you avoid the same traps when restructuring, reinvesting, or accessing retained earnings inside Canada.Through the story of Eric, a successful media entrepreneur weighing a U.S. move, we uncover how careful planning can turn a punishing exit into a strategic transition — and how the same principles can help any Canadian business owner build flexibility, control, and tax efficiency right here at home.In this episode, you'll learn:How to minimize departure and dividend taxes with a gradual “slow drain” exit plan instead of a one-year financial hit.The smarter way to pay yourself — why the right mix of salary and dividends can lower both corporate and personal tax as you prepare to leave.Which assets to hold or liquidate — from whole life insurance and TFSAs to real estate — and how to structure your holdings for cross-border peace of mind.Before you make any big move, hit play now — and discover how to plan your exit (or decide to stay) without letting the tax tail wag your financial future.Discover which phase of wealth creation you are in. Take our quick assessment and you'll receive a custom wealth-building pathway that matches your phase and learn our CRA compliant tax optimized strategies.
