#423 – Alan Smith – Wealth Management

5/3/2024
Wealth Management & Funding Your Retirement When it comes to wealth management who better to discuss this with than Alan Smith is the CEO of Capital Asset Management. He maintains an active and compelling Twitter account. And this week, he is our guest on The Next 100 Days podcast. He started the company in 2004. Alan is an avid thrill seeker, having climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and has a passion for skiing and family holidays. Summary of the Podcast Financial Planning & Wealth Management Graham seeks retirement guidance as he approaches 65. [If you believe I'm still in my 30s, then I have a bridge to sell you!] Alan stresses the importance of a thorough financial plan. That plan pinpoints your goals, the resources you have, and the strategies you'll take in this next phase of your life. A plan's value lies not in completion but as a living framework to navigate life changes. Investment strategies and asset allocation Alan details his "family fortress" portfolio of broad market index funds. Along with his "investment playpen" of higher risk bets. He advocates allocating primarily to equities for long-term growth outpacing inflation, though accepting short-term volatility. You should focus on fees, costs, simplicity and diversification as priorities. Choosing a financial advisor Alan argues an advisor pays for themselves through objective counsel in emotional times. Look for credentials, independence, and a personal connection to guide complex decisions over decades. Fees around 1-1.5% for advice and low-cost funds are reasonable compared to potential returns and risks avoided.

#422 – Mike Malloy – Fractional Sales Executives

4/26/2024
Fractional Sales Executives Mike Malloy believes the future of work is fractional, like the fractional sales executives he provides to a particular niche in the US. That niche is B2B SaaS tech companies. On this episode of The Next 100 Days Podcast, we discover a truly amazing individual, whose talents extend way beyond his subject specialism. Listen and watch to discover more about Mike Malloy. Mike spoke to us from Rye, New Hampshire where he was visiting family, but he normally resides in Lewis, Delaware (perilously close to where their President spends the majority of his time). Summary of the Podcast An Introduction Mike introduced fractional sales executives as experienced professionals who work part-time for multiple companies. These sales people provide temporary expertise to help businesses scale their sales processes. Mike's company matches experienced sales executives with growing B2B SaaS companies. He does this through an assessment of their sales systems and needs. His Fractional Sales Executives His Executives commit 5-10 hours weekly for 3-6 months on a flexible budget. Mike has vetted over 249 executives with diverse backgrounds to suit various company needs. Candidates undergo screening for skills, experience and cultural fit before recommendations to clients. Measuring Success is Like Executives provide training, processes and introductions while CEOs oversee growth. Success is tracked through qualified leads, appointments, wins and time from first contact to payment. Velocities through the funnel indicate where bottlenecks may exist. The Future is Fractional Sales Executives Fractional work was presented as the future, allowing experts to work flexibly across industries while entrepreneurs access affordable expertise. International opportunities also exist to expand client bases. Fractional sales executives were deemed a cost-effective means for companies to access experienced help and expand more quickly than funding full-time staff. Opportunities also exist to introduce this model across borders.

#420 – David Oates – Yavica

4/12/2024
Yavica Yavica provides visionary real estate companies with a platform to innovate the industry. This week's guest is David Oates, who is now Chief Revenue Officer of Yavica. He has a particular passion for the Commercial Real Estate market. David is focused on helping propetech companies achieve their goals and create sustainable growth. Summary of the Podcast Introductions David joins the podcast to discuss Yavica's commercial real estate software. He explains the industry challenges with legacy systems as Graham and Kevin question him. Commercial real estate software systems David outlines the real estate lifecycle and how property management systems help with financial processes like leasing, payments and accounting. Legacy systems are inflexible while Yavica integrates with Microsoft Dynamics. Yavica and disruptive technology By integrating Dynamics, Yavica aims to disrupt legacy providers and future-proof clients. Growth relies on referrals but David wants accelerated strategies as competitors slowly adapt. Future opportunities with AI David believes AI can streamline implementations by configuring processes automatically. Graham challenges shrinking deployment times to undermine arguments against rapid changes. Marketing strategy difficulties Graham advocates segmented campaigns around cost-savings and profits to convince decision-makers. David admits reliance on referrals and seeks radical plans to identify visionary clients. Transforming business processes David explains implementations analyse each process and map workflows into the new system. Streamlining yields long-term savings but slows deployments, hampering disruptive potential. Implementation challenges and time savings David argues processes are complex while Graham targets "Doris and Mavis." Kevin recalls streamlining a firm's processes through a shared service. David ponders AI-aided rapid transformations. Conclusion and next steps Graham urges David to aggressively solve the problem of long deployment times with a "samurai squad." David is energised by the challenge to disrupt through radical strategies and tactics.

#418 – Renee Giarrusso – The Gift Mindset

3/29/2024
The Gift Mindset Renee Giarrusso, who leads RG Dynamics, wrote The Gift Mindset and is this week's guest on The Next 100 Days Podcast. Summary of the Podcast Introduction Renee discusses the importance of emotional intelligence and human connection in a digital world. It was the evening for her, and she'd just spoken on this topic to a hospital's management team. Emotional intelligence and connection Renee discusses bringing the human element back into a digital world. Remote work is increasing, and younger generations prefer it, so emotional intelligence is crucial. The Gift Mindset approach Renee explains The Gift Mindset book This approach finds lessons in challenges. It helps others, including difficult people, by having them become gift-givers of lessons. The book contains 12 related "gifts" like curiosity. Success comes from embedded, not fleeting, changes. Limitless leadership and growth Limitless Leadership was Renee's first book. Renee's first book outlines expanding from technical skills to managing others and leading leaders. Growth requires constant learning, unlearning, and relearning to stay fit in the future, like when the pandemic required a remote approach. Future plans and opportunities Renee is looking for international expansion, especially in the US and the UK. She explores new programs on emotional clearing and a debating game fostering appreciation of diverse views. Connecting people globally energise through a new platform. Closing remarks Graham and Kevin thanked Renee and expressed interest in her resources and future work. Renee offers to send materials and stay connected through potential return appearances. Applying gratitude to challenges Graham reflects on an unsuccessful business and unlearned lessons, finding Renee's approach helpful. Her openness about difficulties like IVF inspires clients to appreciate diverse ideas and perspectives. Clips from the Podcast Renee & Renata It was actually Renee and Renato!

#417 – Renata Sguario – Maxme

3/22/2024
Maxme Ren Sguario (pronounced Squar-io) is the founder and CEO of Maxme, who are leading the charge to upskill people for the future of work. Summary of the Podcast Introduction to Maxme Ren discusses how her company MaxMe focuses on developing self-awareness as the foundation for emotional intelligence and human skills training. She emphasises understanding one's strengths and weaknesses to maximise potential. MaxMe approach to skills development Ren explains MaxMe's hybrid learning model using gamified tech and human coaching to scale skills development affordably. Self-paced learning alone proves ineffective, so MaxMe injects social elements and accountability. Building high-performing teams through understanding strengths Ren stresses understanding one's strengths and leveraging diversity of strengths in teams yields far better results than forcing weaknesses into strengths. This allows focusing energy most productively. Expanding globally with a focus on India Ren expresses passion for India's potential. Her aim is to establish MaxMe there to develop crucial human skills she observes lacking despite capabilities. India's growing influence demands this for sustainable success. Changing workplace culture through emotional intelligence Ren argues traditional diversity training proves ineffective and culture changes occur when all demonstrate emotional intelligence. Instead, she encourages accepting different perspectives respectfully and without bias. MaxMe culture-shifts this way. Recap and next steps Graham and Kevin appreciate Ren's insights and MaxMe's mission. Ren thanks them for the engaging discussion and for spreading MaxMe's message of empowering human potential through understanding oneself and collaborating complementarily.

3/15/2024
Industrial Real Estate Investing Irwin Boris is an expert in industrial real estate investing. Based in New Jersey, US he invests in industrial or commercial real estate. Summary of the Podcast Introduction and background on Heritage Group Capital Irwin Boris introduced Heritage Group Capital, a multi-generational family office turned industrial real estate investing firm.

Industrial real estate investing strategy and philosophy Heritage Group Capital focuses on smaller industrial/flex properties. They do this in secondary markets near major highways and workforce centres. Irwin explained they seek stable cash flow over appreciation. Heritage has maintained 35-40% equity to weather downturns.

Heritage Group Capital takes a conservative approach, limiting leverage to 55% and always hedging interest rates. Returns target 9-10% annually from cash flow with tax benefits, prioritising stable income over grand slams.

#414 Ingrid Maynard – The Sales Doctor

3/1/2024
The Sales Doctor Ingrid Maynard is The Sales Doctor. She helps organisations in Australia to improve their sales activity and results. Summary of the Podcast Graham and Kevin welcomed Ingrid Maynard from Melbourne, Australia to discuss sales challenges. Ingrid was excited to share her insights as The Sales Doctor. Sales challenges in a difficult economy Ingrid outlined the perfect storm facing Australian businesses - high targets amid tough markets and unprepared sales teams. Customers face more scrutiny over discretionary spending as costs rise across the economy. Benefits of bespoke sales programs Ingrid's programs are tailored to each organisation's unique needs rather than off-the-shelf solutions. She deeply analyses contexts through stakeholder interviews to design customised, behaviour-changing solutions achieving future goals. Diagnosing organisational needs Ingrid identifies key issues through research - unrealistic targets, order-taking mindsets, lack of growth roles. Leaders now face conditions their teams never experienced, requiring new skills and mindsets to succeed. The importance of an engaged leadership Ingrid believes CEOs must value sales teams as value-drivers, not cost-centres. With leadership commitment, resources follow to empower customised solutions addressing organisational needs. Motivating salespeople with realistic targets Unachievable targets demotivate and drive dysfunction, not performance. Stretch targets 50% above realistic baselines encourage problem-solving toward goals, maintaining motivation in difficult markets.

Inner Freedom Coach Cathy Gifford is an Inner freedom coach. This is her first podcast. She shares definitions of what it is to have imposter syndrome. Some from her own experience in the accountancy world. Summary of the Podcast Imposter syndrome explained Cathy detailed the causes and manifestations of imposter syndrome. These include perfectionism, fear of mistakes, and low self-esteem from childhood experiences. She suffered from it as an accountant, feeling like a fraud despite positive reviews.

Coaching unlocked suppressed memories fueling low self-worth. She now values presence over possessions. Overcoming limiting beliefs through healing past experiences Cathy helps clients release limiting beliefs through deep healing work on childhood trauma. This "reprograms" the subconscious driving safety behaviours over happiness. Participants confront repressed memories fueling depression and anxiety instead of blaming circumstances.

#409 – Kealan Doyle – B2B Tech Investing

1/26/2024
B2B Tech Investing Kealan Doyle returns to The Next 100 Days podcast to discuss what's hot in B2B Tech Investing. His company Symvan Capital has made dozens of strategy SEIS and EIS investments into B2B Tech companies. So, what should we look out for right now, in a market downturn? Summary of the Podcast Kealan provided an overview of venture capital trends in the UK, noting the growth of the EIS/VCT market and resulting boom in early-stage tech investing. While valuations ballooned, many inexperienced investors entered, not understanding the risks and volatility inherent to the sector. Current market conditions Kealan described the current B2B tech investing market. It's a bear market. The bear market started 2 years ago (2021-2) as interest rates rose globally. Many overvalued companies face steel down rounds as funding dries up. The Corporate Finance Institute describes 'down rounds': Down round refers to a scenario where the value of a business at a time of investment is below the value of the same business during a previous period or financing round. Normally during a down round, investors purchase equity in the business at a lower price, in comparison to previous investors. Companies who require funding now, need much stronger business cases to raise capital. Custodiex and digital asset security Kealan highlighted Symvan Capital's investment in Manchester based Custodiex. Custodiex is a startup that secures digital assets through "cold storage' offline vaults. Their B2B Tech investing opportunity is about tokenised real estate, art and funds. While regulation remains key, Kealan believe the digital asset sector will emerge from its early volatile years. Potential Policy Changes Under a Labour Government A new labour government may negatively impact EIS/VCT incentives. Potentially individual wealth could be impacted through inheritance and other tax increases. Kealan acknowledge political risks, but felt the digital asset sector's growth would not be significantly curtailed. INVESTOR ALERT - act now before the socialists take power!

#408 Mark Franklin – Four Fears

1/19/2024
Four Fears After a 20 year corporate career Mark Franklin has started his own business focusing on the Four Fears. In his first appearance on a podcast, Mark shares how he helps other small business owners to address these four questions. Summary of the Podcast Mark Franklin shares his background moving from London to Oxford and his career in direct sales, where he helped small business owners overcome fears holding them back from success. Those Four Fears Explained Mark outlines the four fears he sees most often - not being ready, not being good enough, not having enough time, and fear of failure - and how addressing the root causes can help people take action. 'I'm being ready' Mark helps people define what "not being ready" means for them and challenges the perception that there is ever a perfect time to start, using examples of taking the first step anyway. Most people have a body of work that they have experienced in their lives, and Mark calls on those moments to shore up the get started date! 'I'm not good enough' Mark builds up people's self-confidence by reflecting on past successes and the evidence that they are capable, shifting their self-perception away from unrealistic standards. 'I don't have enough time' Through exercises like a 20-point challenge diary, Mark helps people audit their time use and prioritise the most effective activities to achieve more while using less hours. The fear of 'failure' Reframing failure as a "comma not a full stop," Mark prompts self-reflection on what actions people can take and what success means for their goals, reducing failure's perceived consequences. Building resilience against fears Mark discusses building habits of positive self-affirmation and challenging unhelpful thoughts to increase resilience against fears, relating it to developing comfort through regular exercise.
