You've done it—you hit your retirement number.

Wealth management is often seen as a numbers game—assets under management, returns, tax exposure—but for Paul Carroll, it's always been about people first. As the CEO and founder of Avion Wealth, Carroll has spent nearly two decades building a firm that redefines what it means to serve high-net-worth individuals and families. With a philosophy rooted in trust, leadership, and strategic clarity, he has grown Avion Wealth into a firm that manages over $850 million in assets, while maintaining a deep personal connection to clients and team members alike. Carroll's approach to wealth management was shaped by his early life experiences—arriving in the U.S. at 17 with just $200, joining the Air Force to fund his education, and eventually earning degrees from the University of Maryland and Texas A&M. That grit and resourcefulness laid the groundwork for a professional path that would favor clarity over complexity, service over sales. Rather than adopting the standard broker-dealer model, Carroll built Avion Wealth around a consultative framework designed to deliver holistic financial planning that aligns with clients' evolving goals and values. A central theme of Carroll's leadership is the development of a self-managing team. He's the first to admit he didn't know everything when he started out, but his drive to learn—paired with an unwavering curiosity—helped him grow both as a leader and a strategist. He believes firmly in the idea that the people who get you to one level of success may not be the same ones who take you to the next. That's why hiring, mentorship, and team development are non-negotiable components of his wealth management philosophy. Surrounding himself with A-players has allowed him to shift his role from day-to-day management to visionary leadership, which continues to propel the firm forward. For business owners and executives navigating their own financial journeys, Carroll's message is clear: complexity doesn't equal effectiveness. In fact, one of his biggest lessons came during the 2008 financial crisis, when a strategy designed to attract a niche market completely missed the mark. Instead of folding, Carroll pivoted quickly—realigning his firm's focus on the types of clients who truly valued their model. That flexibility, paired with a willingness to act and adjust, has become a defining element of his wealth management strategy. Ford Saeks, a longtime business strategist and host of Fordify LIVE, highlights the importance of this kind of mindset. Whether you're leading a financial advisory firm, a franchise system, or a high-growth startup, the principles are the same. Leadership isn't about knowing everything—it's about creating an environment where growth, curiosity, and clear execution thrive. Saeks often emphasizes that business success is built on systems, people, and positioning—three areas where Carroll's leadership offers a practical blueprint. One area where Carroll stands out is his perspective on referrals and business development. Rather than focusing on transactions or outbound marketing, he invests in relationships with centers of influence—accountants, attorneys, and other professionals who trust him enough to introduce their clients. That kind of trust isn't earned overnight. It's built through reputation, results, and the ability to consistently deliver value. Carroll notes that people don't refer others to help you—they refer because they believe you can help someone they care about. In a field where technical knowledge is table stakes, Carroll brings a human-centered lens to wealth management. His firm's success has been shaped not just by financial acumen, but by an ability to listen, lead, and stay aligned with clients' real-world needs. Whether advising on tax strategies, succession planning, or charitable giving, Carroll and his team act less like service providers and more like partners—guiding clients through every stage of growth, transition, and legacy. For professionals looking to elevate their own approach to wealth management—or simply lead with more intention—the takeaways are clear: Build a team that supports your vision. Stay curious. Act before you're ready. And never underestimate the power of meaningful relationships. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast was a conversation that was recorded live at Morningstar's Investment Conference in Chicago earlier this year.Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor took time out of his packed schedule at the event to sit down with me for a thought-provoking conversation that dove into the nuances of many of the trends that are shaping private markets today.Morningstar and Kunal have quite an interesting perch in the market. They occupy a critically important function in the market: helping investors understand the data, structures, and trends in public and private markets. They provide fund ratings, investment analysis, and market data to both individual and institutional investors.As public and private markets experience increasing convergence, Morningstar finds itself at the intersection of markets that are undergoing rapid evolutions across product structures, asset allocation frameworks, and weighty questions around conceptual frameworks of liquidity, risk, volatility, concentration that are on the minds of many. Amongst the wide range of topics Kunal and I covered, one stood out: Morningstar is fiercely on the side of the investor.If there's anyone who has a deep understanding of Morningstar's DNA, it's Kunal. Kunal started at Morningstar in 1997 as a data analyst, holding a variety of roles at the firm, including leadership positions in research and innovation. He served as director of mutual fund research and was part of the team that launched Morningstar Investment Services, Inc., before moving on to other roles including director of business strategy for international operations, and later, president and chief investment officer of Morningstar Investment Services. During his tenure, he has also led Morningstar.com® and the firm's data business as well as its global products and client solutions group.Kunal and I had a fascinating and lively conversation. We covered a number of the most pressing topics in private markets today: the convergence of public and private, liquidity vs illiquidity, investor education, the importance of transparency, and the why, what, and how behind evergreen funds.Thanks Kunal for coming on the show to share your wisdom, expertise, and passion for public and private markets.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

IS CASH KING? BALANCING LIQUIDITY AND GROWTH 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 Episode Details: Cash is often described as either “king” or “trash.” In reality, it can be both—depending on your circumstances. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor and Tyler Kluge explore when holding cash makes sense and when it may work against your long-term goals. The conversation begins with why cash matters. Having an emergency fund provides peace of mind and flexibility when life delivers the unexpected—medical bills, job loss, or urgent home repairs. Sandy and Tyler discuss how to size an emergency fund, why rules of thumb like “three to six months of expenses” may not fit every situation, and how personal factors such as job stability or income volatility affect the right cash balance. But cash also has drawbacks. For retirees who already have stable income from pensions or Social Security, holding too much in cash can mean missed opportunities for growth. The episode shares real-life examples of families who kept significant wealth in ultra-conservative accounts—only to realize that over decades, inflation would erode their purchasing power and diminish the legacy they hoped to leave to children and grandchildren. Sandy and Tyler emphasize that the right answer depends on goals, timing, and flexibility. They recommend tailoring cash holdings to personal risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and investment horizon. The discussion also touches on practical strategies, such as using money markets, high-yield savings, or laddered CDs to keep funds both safe and accessible. Finally, listeners are reminded that cash needs evolve with life changes—new jobs, growing families, or retirement. Reviewing and adjusting cash reserves regularly is critical to keeping financial plans on track. For more insights, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo discusses the financial risks that arise once individuals surpass the seven-figure mark in assets. He emphasizes that contrary to popular belief, reaching this milestone does not simplify financial management; rather, it introduces new complexities and risks. The conversation highlights three main issues: the shift in control from savings to investments, the feeling of being stuck in wealth accumulation, and the dangers of concentrated holdings in investments. Burklo stresses the importance of having a coordinated financial strategy to navigate these challenges effectively. Check out our website:  beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Many Americans believe reaching seven figures makes finances easier. Significant risks can arise after surpassing seven figures. Investment growth often outpaces savings after reaching seven figures. Feeling stuck is common when trying to accumulate more wealth. Concentrated holdings can lead to substantial financial losses. A coordinated financial strategy is essential for wealth management. It's crucial to understand the risks associated with investments. Professional guidance can help navigate complex financial decisions. Wealth preservation is as important as wealth accumulation. Having a plan is vital to mitigate risks.

Join Javaid as he discusses the market action last week and what to expect this week. How is the market handling the upcoming rate cut from the Fed? Will markets keep making new highs or is this the market top? What is the high yield bond market signalling to investors? Listen now to find out the answers to these questions and more!    

Over the past few months, the economic debate has heated up: the Federal Reserve is weighing the possibility of lowering interest rates, President Trump has already extended corporate tax cuts, and the national debt continues to soar. What does all of this mean for your retirement security? In this episode, we unpack how lower rates could affect everything from your 401(k) and pension returns to the cost of borrowing in retirement. We'll also explore why Trump is pressing for lower rates — arguing it will ease pressure on the ballooning national debt and further stimulate business growth following his extension of corporate tax cuts. But not everyone agrees. Democrats continue to push for raising taxes on the wealthy as their answer to debt and inequality, setting up a stark contrast in economic philosophy. One side wants to grow the economy by slashing taxes and borrowing more cheaply; the other says it's time for the top earners to shoulder the load. As markets, policymakers, and retirees all brace for the Fed's next move, we'll break down the stakes, the politics, and what it means for your financial future.

WHAT IS FINANCIAL PLANNING? A COMPLETE GUIDE 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 Episode Details: Financial planning is often confused with investing, estate planning, or tax planning. However, at its core, financial planning is bigger than any one piece—it's the roadmap that helps you reach your life and financial goals with clarity and direction. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor and Tyler Kluge explain what financial planning truly means. They discuss how a comprehensive plan covers every part of your financial life: budgeting, saving, debt management, investing, insurance, retirement, and estate planning. Together, these elements create a foundation that helps you not only build wealth but also protect it for the future and for your loved ones. Listeners will also learn why financial planning is more than picking investments. It is about setting short-, mid-, and long-term goals and then creating a clear path to achieve them. Sandy and Tyler emphasize starting early, automating savings, and avoiding lifestyle creep. In addition, they highlight how estate planning documents, though often overlooked, play a critical role in protecting family members and ensuring your wishes are honored. Flexibility is another key takeaway. Plans should not remain static. Just as a pilot adjusts course during turbulence, financial plans must adapt to changes in life. Career transitions, shifting markets, or major family milestones may require new strategies. That is why ongoing updates, regular reviews, and professional guidance are essential to staying on track. With more than four decades of experience, BWFA has guided thousands of families as they set goals, manage challenges, and move forward with confidence. This episode offers practical tips as well as reassurance: you don't have to plan alone. Our advisors are here to help you build and maintain a strategy that works.

In this episode of Alternative Allocations, Loren and Tony discuss the growing trend of advisors adopting alternative investments in wealth management. They talk about the primary drivers for this adoption, including diversification, risk mitigation, and the potential for higher returns. They note, however, that the process is fraught with challenges, such as the complexity and time required to understand these products, and limited access through many firms. To help advisors overcome these hurdles, asset managers are investing in education, digital content, and the development of model portfolios and blended public-private products.

THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD - THE QCD! 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 Episode Details: For charitably minded retirees, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be one of the smartest tax strategies available. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor and Tyler Kluge explain how QCDs allow individuals age 70½ and older to donate directly from an IRA to a qualified charity—with meaningful tax benefits. Listeners will learn how QCDs work, the eligibility rules, and why this strategy often provides more advantages than giving directly from a bank account. For example, donating through a QCD reduces adjusted gross income, which may in turn lower Medicare premiums or reduce the taxable portion of Social Security benefits. Sandy and Tyler also explain how the annual contribution limits apply—$108,000 per person in 2025, or $216,000 for married couples filing jointly. The episode covers important differences between required minimum distributions (RMDs) and QCDs, showing why the two should not be confused. Unlike taking an RMD and then writing a check to charity, a QCD ensures the distribution is never taxed in the first place. This simple distinction can mean substantial savings. Practical guidance is also included. The hosts explain how to properly execute a QCD, why the funds must go directly from the IRA custodian to the charity, and how deadlines affect year-end giving. They also share a timeline for planning—suggesting that clients aim to finalize QCDs well before December to ensure smooth processing. Ultimately, QCDs represent a powerful way to align charitable giving with tax-smart planning. For clients who are both financially secure and charitably inclined, this episode highlights why QCDs are often referred to as the “eighth wonder” of retirement planning.

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, host Ray Sclafani reframes what it truly means to engage clients in a modern wealth management practice. He challenges the common misconceptions of client engagement which includes emails, gifts, and review meetings, and instead defines true engagement as emotional, intentional, and rooted in value. Ray outlines three pillars of effective engagement: proactive conversations, customized communication, and meaningful milestone recognition. He emphasizes that real engagement must be embedded into firm culture, not just left to the advisor.
