After meeting Sarah Toole and the CircleBlack team at XYPN Live, we knew we had to have them on the podcast. Many financial advisors are drowning in tech, juggling too many platforms that don't talk to each other. Sarah joins us to break down a better way.We dig into how fintech can actually make an advisor's life easier instead of more complicated. Sarah shares how CircleBlack's open architecture gives advisors the freedom to build the tech stack they want—without losing a unified view of their clients. Clunky systems and hidden fees? Not here.Technology should simplify, not frustrate. We get into the biggest tech mistakes advisors make, what to look for in a platform, and how transparency in pricing is reshaping fintech.If your tech feels more like a burden than a benefit, this episode is for you.Social and Website:www.circleblack.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/circleblack-inc-/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-toole-787716aa/Email: sales@circleblack.comMusic in this episode was obtained from Bensound.

I'm grateful to have Roland McIntyre on the podcast for this episode. He is an XYPN member and founder of Mountaintop Wealth, his own fee-only RIA where he focuses on serving underrepresented and underserved communities including those in military or public service. We got connected awhile back and after meeting each other at XYPN Live last year, I knew I had to have him on the podcast to talk about his career journey.  Roland shares about his origin story of money and his desire to be a financial advisor going back to 7th grade. After leaving active duty, he was first told he needed sales experience before he could get into the financial services industry … so he did just that, selling cable door to door. That theme of persistence comes up throughout our conversation and I love his passion and dedication to this profession.   Roland ultimately went to work for AIG where he rapidly advanced through a variety of roles and positions, learning the ins and outs of the company products, how to communicate in plain language with clients and other professionals alike, and expanding his knowledge across many areas of financial planning. Although he admits he never considered himself an entrepreneur, Roland is building a great firm that meets clients where they are at with a desire to help close the racial wealth gap. We talk about his variety of service and fee options that help educate clients who have never worked with a fee-only advisor before and how his educational content and community networking are compounding the marketing impact. I know you will learn something from Roland's career journey! https://mountaintopwealth.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/roland-mcintyre-cfp%C2%AE-chfc%C2%AE-1b8b1b23/

XYPN member, Matt Miner, founder of Miner Wealth Management, joins us on the show today. Matt started his career on the corporate finance side of business. After a few years, he took a break and went to B school to get his MBA, then worked with John Deere in several capacities before his career was impacted by a layoff related to a merger.   His running partner was a fee only advisor and Matt became an intern at that firm. He was responsible for growing his own client base from scratch and shared how he found success getting those early clients. In 2021, after three years, Matt and the firm owner agreed to a buyout structure so that Matt could take his clients with him and ultimately start his own RIA.    Matt was kind enough to share the details of that buyout and how it worked for him and the prior firm owner. Matt has been growing a really awesome firm as he is looking to do more than 350, 000 of revenue in his third year in business.  He shared his approach to fees and how he sees the fighting amongst advisors on the best or right fee structure as unnecessary. And also how he uses his fee as a client segmentation tool to ensure he's working with his ideal clients.  From company management position to booming RIA in the first 3 years, this is an episode you won't want to miss!   What you'll learn from this episode How informational interviewing techniques have helped him in both working up the corporate ladder and in securing clients. How going into advising with a fully fledged philosophy of wealth management helped him attract a large client base quickly in the first few years. Alan and Matt discuss the details of what a buyout looks like and how it can compare to building out a business in other ways. How to approach fee structures and the benefits of keeping things simple both for the client and the advisor. The benefit of starting a podcast and how it has impacted Matt's business. While working for John Deere, Matt moved from trade to business school, graduating in 2013 with a business degree and a job with Intel. After the business was sold, Matt took on a financial advising job with Bridgeline Wealth Management in 2018. In August of 2021, Matt bought out his boss's share in the business, changing the business to Miner Wealth Management. Alan and Matt discuss the benefit of attending management training programs through companies like John Deere.

In this episode of XYPN Radio, we're joined by XYPN member Maggie Klokkenga, the founder of Make A Money MindShift. Maggie's journey is a testament to the transformative power of financial coaching. Starting her career as a CPA, she eventually transitioned to a large firm in St. Louis, where she worked on various teams.   Maggie noticed a disconnect between her passion for helping clients lay their financial foundations and the higher net-worth clients she was serving. In 2021, she took the leap to start her own firm, focusing on providing financial coaching services. Maggie shares insights into her client engagement process, which involves 8 to 10 one-hour-long meetings over several weeks, and the positive outcomes she's witnessed. What you'll learn from this episode Maggie worked in public accounting (CPA) for 15 years Wanting to support clients in a broader way than she had been as a CPA, she decided to join an investment advisory firm as an advisor. Seeing a split in how fees were being charged to clients, Maggie and a group of others set up their own firm. Her family expanded rapidly,  getting married in 2011, then adopting her first and having her second child in 2013. Followed by adopting a third child the following year. This family dynamic pushed Maggie to become a remote worker in 2016 Wanting to provide real financial planning to her clients, she engaged with other financial planning curricula, only to find that she saw threads she could do something about. After working at the advisory firm for 7 years, she started working as a financial coach on the side. After learning that this constituted a conflict of interest, Maggie turned in her resignation and became an XYPN member the next day. Diversifying her revenue by coaching has kept Maggie able to balance her work and family life. As a financial coach, Maggie meets every week with clients to really learn where their money is going and helps  them build better habits by providing awareness to the emotional connections we associate with money. How making changes to her fee structure opened up the floodgates for new clients. Some examples of the incredible outcomes that she has seen through her work with clients. Her experience going to XYPN LIVE this year

For a while my parent company was doing this survey process with clients and there was ONE thing that was consistently mentioned in our client reviews as a fan favorite. And this survey process would actually ask them a series of questions and they would free form answer… I tell you this because it's not like they picked this one thing from a list of items. It was something they came up with off the top of their head when asked about the professionalism of our practice. It kept coming up and I was scratching my head because I thought it was just such an ODD thing to see constantly mentioned as an amazing part of our process. Sometimes it's the simples things… I'm guessing you want to know what that one thing was…. OUR AGENDA! Now before you hit skip on this podcast because you already use an agenda hear me out. Your agenda can do SO MUCH MORE than just guide your meeting. In fact, when you apply some psychology to it, make it part of your systems of efficiency, design it to add value to your meetings and use it as a way to increase your personal relationship with your clients… it clearly becomes one of your clients, your teams', and your favorite things. Today's podcast is all about the anatomy of an effective, efficient, and enjoyable agenda. I'm going to share with you the exact layout and format of the agendas we used in my business to do all the things I mentioned before AND help me run a tight meeting that was jam packed with value, eliminated redundancy, and helped our office run like a well-oiled machine. And, per the request of the Efficient Advisor Community, I've got a download of our agenda to go along with this episode. Listen at the end to find out how you can get the template.  --------------------------------------------LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Get the editable agenda template here!

But, often when you step out of the light, you feel a little… exhausted. Every ringmaster loves a good life hack. You know, the kind that helps you get something done faster, the kind that helps you stay organized or the kind that frees up your time to work on the stuff that really matters. In today's episode we're really going to focus on the 3 different areas we need to be employing these productivity strategies to manage our circus:SHORT TERM: The time-sensitive stuff that needs to get done right now – the tasksMEDIUM TERM: The projects we have going on – little longer in timeframe, and a little longer in scopeLONG TERM: The big picture things – the CEO stuff. Business building and scaling.Come one, come all! Join Productivity Coach Avi Friedman and I to explore different ways that you can get and keep your “ish” together while moving forward on your big goals. ----------------------LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Connect with Avi on LinkedIn Here Download Avi's PDF HereWant to hang out with me, Matt Jarvis, Steven Jarvis and some other amazing advisors at The Perfect RIA Pre-conference Event at XYPN Live?

So how many times on this podcast have you heard me mention Kolbe or Enneagram? A bunch. If you know me in real life, you know that I have really adopted these ideas/assessments to help me be a better mom, wife, coworker, leader, coach, and most importantly to understand myself in a better way and to really maximize my own personal potential by increasing my self-awareness… both in my strengths but also in my weaknesses and potential traps!  And if you listened to episode #38 we learned that studies show that self-awareness is the #1 skill (meaning it's something you can learn) that drives success.  My biggest takeaways from this conversation are that I need to better understand Enneagram and Kolbe not just for my own personal self-awareness and productivity… but also be increase my understanding of the people around me and how to relate to them and to help them maximize their potential & productivity too… be a better leader. So how do we increase this awareness of ourselves, and also of the individuals around us?In this episode we're speaking with a Kolbe and Enneagram expert that is going to illuminate the heck out of us for personal and professional growth. A lot of people listening have taken these assessments… but if you haven't no worries. I've got them here in the show notes. You'll still glean a lot from this episode EVEN if you haven't taken them… and you can always come back and re-listen once you have.  -----------------------------Links from Today's Episode:Enneagram Book Recommendation: Ian Morgan Cron: The Story of You Take your Kolbe Assessment HereTake your Free Enneagram Here Connect with Glenn @ gshelton1014@gmail.comInterested in joining me pre-conference at XYPN Live?

We gathered a panel of smart people to answer your money questions at XYPN Live in St. Louis. We discuss student loans, stocks vs. mutual funds, starting a business, and more.

Michael will be at XYPN Live next week and the Elevation Project podcast will be recorded on-site! We'll take your questions on money and entrepreneurship and answer them with Michael and a few other advisors as a panel discussion.

Last month I spent three days in St. Louis at the XY Planning Network’s annual conference, XYPN Live, learning and discussing how advisors can collectively continue to move the financial planning industry forward. Most in attendance were financial advisors and most of those financial advisors were CFP® Professionals and XYPN members; however, there were non-XYPN members thinking of breaking away… Continue Reading→ The post Project One Question: XYPN Live 2018 (025) appeared first on All About Your Benjamins™.

Steve Crawford is a financial advisor, a coach to other financial advisors, and the founder of both Experience Wealth and XY Adviser in Australia. After working in the industry and realizing he wasn’t serving the client base he wanted to focus on, Steve started his own financial planning firm at what was probably the worst possible time to start a firm: 2008. Despite the timing—and despite committing four major don’ts with his own firm—Steve has been steadily growing his business and helping his clients become financially independent. Since bringing on a couple of other advisors, he’s shifted his focus to providing cash flow planning services, and also training other advisors on how to provide this service. Listen in to hear how Steve integrated cash flow planning into his service model, where the majority of his clients come from, and what to expect from the cash flow presentation he'll be giving at the XYPN LIVE 2018 Conference.
