Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL

We’ve all heard it before: “There just aren’t enough hours in the day.” For advisors looking to run or scale a successful practice, efficiency is crucial — and time is king. Luckily, modern technology gives advisors easier access than ever to time-saving tools. But how should that technology be implemented? To answer that question, I’m sitting down with my longtime friend Corey Westphal, the founder and CEO of Mobile Assistant, a dictation service that helps advisors document meeting notes and information quickly, easily and safely. On average, people speak about 7 times faster than they talk. By dictating notes from seminars and meetings, advisors can save themselves hours each week. And while dictation software has been around for some time, Corey shares some modern advancements that have supercharged the technology. Corey and I also spend some time diving into how templates — both in technology and business — can help scale your practice. You’ll also hear us chat about ways to build a top-tier company culture, how to avoid critical mistakes when scaling, and how resilience is an unshakeable route to success. 3 of the biggest insights from Corey Westphal … JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

When I first started Triad, there were a lot of unknowns. But one thing was crystal clear in my heart: I refused to build a business that would come at the cost of my family. I wanted to create a company that not only thrived but also freed me up to cherish life’s most precious moments with my wife and kids. So many advisors fall victim to the idea that in order to succeed, those important moments have to take a back seat. The truth is, the “I’m doing it for my family” narrative is completely broken. Your kids, your spouse, they don’t care about your business or the money in your bank account. They just want you! No resource has made that clearer to me than The Family Board Meeting by power couple, Jamie and Jim Sheils. Their “Board Meeting” strategy has helped approximately 300,000 business leaders worldwide succeed at home. I have personally gifted their book to countless friends and co-workers, and I have seen firsthand how their framework has saved marriages. While there’s no perfect playbook for being a parent, The Family Board Meeting has been instrumental to my success as a Dad and husband, and today you’re going to see why. 3 of the biggest insights from Jamie & Jim Sheils JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

One of the biggest hurdles for financial advisors who want to build a thriving business, is the transition from a one-person operation to leading like a CEO. Up until that point, most advisors only have to worry about themselves. But scaling a high performing team requires a completely different level of leadership and self-awareness. And to better understand how to get to that level, Brad’s talking with Ian Cron, all about the Enneagram—a personality assessment tool that can help you understand how you and your team are uniquely wired. Ian is a psychotherapist, Enneagram teacher and best-selling author whose book “The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery” has sold more than 1M copies. If you want to grow your business, you can’t do it alone. You need people. And if you don’t understand how people think or their motivations for how they act, it will be a constant battle trying to scale. Ian’s going to show you how to leverage the Enneagram to discover areas for growth, identify your blind spots, foster deeper relationships, and communicate more effectively, so you and your team can grow together. 3 of the biggest insights from Ian Cron … JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

For many advisors, the idea of running a seminar conjures up images of wasted time, low ROI and an audience just there for a free dinner. But for Triad member Tom Jacobs, seminars have been the key to growing by more than 11x in just six years. In today’s episode, I talk with Tom about how he’s embraced seminars to create a wave of momentum for his practice. In addition to tips about how you can do the same, you’ll hear Tom discuss his mindset for giving presentations, how he leans on his team for the seminar follow-up process, and his strategies for continuing to improve his seminars. You’ll also hear about the benefits that come from investing financially in your team, how advisors can grow their practices by running fewer meetings, and how Tom bounced back from a $4M bankruptcy during The Great Recession—and his tips for moving forward from low points. 3 of the biggest insights from Tom Jacobs … If you love seminars, they'll love you back JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

As if building a business in the financial services industry wasn’t already hard enough, financial advisors are also expected to be tech experts too!? You need a CRM, a portfolio management system, a custodian, planning software, and a host of other tools to effectively manage client portfolios and deliver financial advice. Not only is that super overwhelming—especially for those who don’t have a tech background—but figuring out how all of these different software’s communicate with each other is a massive challenge in itself. In large part, because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. So, how do you get all these disjointed technologies to speak to one another, so you and your team can focus on what you do best? Today’s guest is here to help. I’m talking with Kyle Van Pelt, the CEO of Milemarker—a fintech firm that helps bring together integrations, data, and workflows to manage client information. In our conversation, Kyle shares his best advice for how advisors can use tech to enhance the client experience. 3 of the Biggest Insights from Kyle Van Pelt… JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

“We're ending the steroid phase of high-growth organizations that just kind of grew by breaking people and burning through them.” – Robert Glazer Gone are the days of pushing people to unreasonable limits in order to hit “company goals.” People need boundaries. They need time away from work, so that when they are working, they’re focused, energized, and engaged. Organizations can either provide the space to do that OR they can resist, burn out their team, and lose valuable players to a competing company that’s embracing the evolution of how people want to work. This is what today’s conversation with Robert Glazer is all about. Robert is an entrepreneur, author, and the founder of Acceleration Partners, a global partner marketing agency that has won more than 30 awards for company culture—despite the fact that their 270-person team is fully remote! In this episode, we’re diving into Robert’s newest book, “Elevate Your Team,” to discuss his tips and tricks for helping your business thrive while improving your team’s personal and professional lives. 3 of the biggest insights from Robert Glazer … FREE GIFT Get Robert Glazer's book, Elevate Your Team.

In a saturated industry, relying on the same old lead generation tactics can make it difficult to stand out. But when earning referrals and bringing in new assets are your lifeblood, blending in isn’t an option. So how can you set yourself apart? Today, I’m talking with Triad member Dan DeVerna, the founder of DeVerna & Co Financial, to talk about the referral and new business success he’s found through a unique approach — writing books. Instead of spending money on fancy business cards, Dan started writing books to wrangle new business, leading to an influx of $36M in new assets and the onboarding of 130 new households in 2022. Today, you’ll hear exactly how Dan does it—and why you don’t actually need to be a writer to author a book! You’ll also gain insights into using checklists to scale your practice, how to personalize your follow-up process to close new clients, and how meditation can lead to more engaging client interactions. 3 of the biggest insights from Dan DeVerna … #1 How creating systematized processes can lead to greater consistency, scalability and success for both your practice and your clients. #2 The supercharged lead generation and referral strategy that helped Dan bring in $36 million of organic new assets in 2022. #3 Finding enjoyable life outlets that can also benefit your professional practice and client relationships.

Today, I'm talking to one of the most prolific content creators in financial services, Michael Kitces. His website, Kitces.com, serves over 12,000 advisors, and his blog, Nerd's Eye View, has become a go-to resource for financial advisors, reaching more than 200,000 unique monthly visitors. Investopedia named him "one of the most influential financial advisors in the United States." He also runs 2 podcasts, Kitces & Carl (which he co-hosts with Carl Richards, creator of the NYTimes Sketch Guy column) and Financial Advisor Success—one of the most highly rated podcasts for financial advisors. 3 of the biggest insights from Michael Kitces … #1 The digital marketing shift that most advisors are NOT capitalizing on—and why your ideal clients are not choosing the local advisor who's closest in proximity; they are choosing the advisor that offers the best solution to their high-stakes problem. #2 The power of "The One-Page Financial Plan" and how to effectively use it so you can eliminate overwhelm for your clients and drive them to take action. #3 Why the happiest advisors are not the ones who earn the most money; they're the ones who earn the most money on their time. Michael shares his dollars-to-time ratio for maximizing happiness—and advice for buying your time back so you can successfully scale your business.

As a financial advisor, your clients don’t choose you because they want an average future; they choose you because they want to win the game of life. The problem isn’t that you don’t know how to build a plan that will get them there. The problem is that you have to convince them that you are the person who can help them do it. So, how do you communicate to prospects that you’re the right person for the job? Today’s guest, Simon Bowen, is here to help you with that answer. Simon is Australia’s #1 authority on visual based thinking. In other words, he’s a master at using drawings to simplify complex ideas and information. Through his proprietary process, The Models Method, he has helped Fortune 500 companies, heads of Government, the military, industry leaders, and countless organizations, to accelerate performance. Whether it’s to convert more clients, distill complex topics into easy to communicate language for your team, or create higher levels of ownership across your organization so you can effectively scale, Simon’s visual models can help you get there. 3 of the biggest insights from Simon Bowen… #1 The “compete & retreat” sales talk that’s pushing your prospects away—and what to do instead to create a collaborative communication experience that builds value and trust. #2 Powerful whiteboarding techniques you can use during meetings, to simplify complex concepts and help your clients visualize a path to success. #3 Why you can’t build a scalable or sellable business that relies on your sweat equity—and how to instead distill your genius into replicable frameworks that your team can easily model.

If you want to avoid looking like every other financial advisor on the block, you'll need more than a catchy tagline! Today, I'm talking with my good friend and Founder of The Campfire Effect, Chris Smith, who will teach you how to become the preeminent financial advisor in your market through his identity-driven leadership model. I see so many advisors who are exceptional at what they do but struggle to communicate their unique value proposition to the world. In this episode, Chris will show you how to fix that, so you can build meaning into your brand and create an identity that scales far beyond yourself. 3 of the biggest insights from Chris Smith … #1 Why the greatest risk as an advisor is to be commoditized. Avoid the "rip off and duplicate" model 99% of financial advisors use and learn how to differentiate yourself. #2 Chris's framework to uncover your firm's true identity, so you can finally scale your business without burning out or losing your freedom. #3 Pre-game rituals for running the most effective client discovery meetings of all time.

Once per month, we’re going to release a special episode with one of our Triad members that highlights their story and shares the lessons learned from building and scaling an advisory practice. My goal is to have genuine conversations that dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly so that we can help as many other offices out there who are listening in. This week, I’m talking with the co-founders of SHP Financial: Matthew Peck, Derek Gregoire, and Keith Ellis. Last year alone, their team brought in $250M of new assets—one-third of which came from client referrals. And the best part? They’ve avoided falling into the trap of “more growth = more work.” Today, we will deconstruct how they went from being the only 3 revenue producers in the firm, carrying the weight of everything on their shoulders, to building and scaling a team that freed up their time and allowed them to create ultimate freedom in their business and life. 3 of the biggest insights from this episode … #1 The power of a proprietary process—and how SHP used one to create better solutions for their clients, differentiate themselves from their competition, and build a business that’s exploded in growth. #2 Why growing your business does not have to come at the cost of your time and freedom. #3 What it takes to build a revolving door of client referrals. For SHP, ~$80M of new assets came from client referrals in 2022 - and you’ll hear exactly what caused that.

Do you trust the voice in your head? Our minds are powerful storytellers, but the stories our minds feed us as facts aren't always accurate. In fact, neuroscience research has shown that, on average, about 20% of our memories are false. And even crazier, up to 70% are distorted in some way. Unfortunately, these stories can turn into false beliefs that keep you from reaching your true potential. Do any of these stories sound familiar? As an advisor, this type of thinking has a major impact on how you build your business and life. But what if you could reprogram your brain to tell a new, empowering story? Today, I'm talking to Michael Hyatt, the founder and chairman of Full Focus. He has scaled multiple companies over the years, including a $250M publishing company with 700+ employees and his own business coaching company that has grown over 60% year-over-year for the past four years. In this episode, we're talking all about his new book, Mind Your Mindset—and how Advisors can use the principles from the book to unlock their full potential and build a company and life that they love. 3 of the biggest insights from Michael Hyatt … JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

In our industry, it’s all too common to treat revenue numbers as the ultimate scoreboard. But if that’s your only game plan, not only will your progression hit a ceiling, but burnout is inevitable. Today, I’m sitting down with Shawn Sparks of Triad Partners, to talk about what it means to truly succeed as a financial advisor. Think about it this way… If your numbers are on the rise, but your family is eating dinner without you most nights, is that really how you’d define success? In this episode, Shawn shares a much better approach to building a business; one that gives financial advisors unlimited growth, freedom, and joy. Or as we define it, a “Do Business. Do Life.” approach. You’ll hear how we’re uniquely positioning ourselves at Triad to serve advisors at the highest level, why freedom doesn’t have to come at the cost of growth, and what it takes to scale without becoming a victim of your own success. 3 of the biggest insights from Shawn … JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREW To become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

"No man ever steps in the same river twice—for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man." – Heraclitus I love that quote (for many reasons), but now more than ever, it holds particular significance in my life. For one, I left a 13-year career with Advisors Excel to go out on my own. It was one of the most challenging decisions of my life. And while I'm beyond grateful for everything that role opened up for me, I realized that I had hit the ceiling in my growth and knew it was time for a new challenge. Triad Partners was born! And I can tell you, I'm not the same person I was two years ago. Our team set out to flip an antiquated industry on its head, which is exactly what we're doing. Far too often, I've seen advisors sacrifice their marriages, health, relationships, and everything else that matters to walk across an industry stage recognizing their "success." That model is broken, and we're on a mission to fix it. Not only do we partner with the top 1% of independent financial advisors, but we help them create unlimited growth and freedom in both their business AND life. At Triad Partners, we call this #DBDL or "Doing Business. Doing Life." That brings me to the second reason that quote rings true. This is episode one of the new podcast, "Do Business. Do Life.", appropriately named after everything Triad Partners stands for. It's an evolution of my original podcast, which many advisors grew to love. This podcast is my attempt to help growth-minded financial advisors reimagine what's possible. So, if you want to build your business faster than ever while also living life on your terms, hit subscribe, and get ready to level up!
