You have a busy professional career.
That’s a lot of responsibility and can leave you with little time to care for your own financial health.
Over the years, your assets may become scattered across many different accounts, making them difficult to effectively manage.
This is called a “financial junk drawer,” i.e. a disorganized portfolio of miscellaneous investments that are not optimized to develop into their full potential.
If this sounds familiar, you need an integrated wealth management strategy tailored to meet your comprehensive financial goals.
Financial advisor, Maryann Keith, joins Adam to talk planning.

Consumers see right through the traditional advertisement.
Potential customers are going to seek out your customer reviews – whether you want them to or not.
Word-of-mouth marketing, or referral marketing is the cheapest and best way to get new customers.
So, how can you get in front of this, practice transparency, and make your customer experience as seamless as possible?
Feature a couple of your negative reviews (yeah – I said it) to make your testimonials page really stand out from the rest. By including these, you’re saying “hey – we heard you, and here’s what we’re working on,” and that, in combination with the clear emphasis on transparency, will go a long way.
Marketing expert, Laura Nelson joins Adam to discuss:

You’ve heard it before, ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.’ In today’s world, servant leadership is the new way to lead.
This term has become popular lately, but many people have trouble understanding exactly what it means.
When you observe an individual practicing servant leadership, you are experiencing a person who embodies the concept of actions being louder than words. Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy where the goal is to serve others and lead by example.
By incorporating a servant leadership model within an organization, employees will build up their confidence, exert more authority, and create a sphere of influence. When entire companies adopt Servant Leadership theory and apply it, you will see transformational leadership in not just the company’s words and “about us” section but in the actions of individuals at every level of the company.
Kurt Uhlir is a long-time practitioner and believer in servant leadership.
This approach to both work and life creates the possibility of unlocking what Kurt calls High-Achieving Servant Leadership.
He joins Adam to discuss:

There’s no better “attention grabber” than a laugh. And when it comes to your branded video content, you want all the attention you can get!
Content is currency and if your content sucks, well you probably aren’t making much money.
Entering from stage left…comedic actresses turned screenwriters and video producers, Shelby Dash and Kristina Clifford. When the reality of the entertainment industry slapped them in the faces, they began making comedy videos for fun.
Even though they tripped over their own feet (maybe on purpose) those videos got attention. Today they make videos for companies that get attention, views, and sales.
“You know that cliche saying about how the journey is better than the destination? I feel like that has been the lesson for us. As long as we’re making ourselves laugh, while being one hundred percent authentic, we’re guaranteed to make something worth watching.”
Joining Adam, this delightful duo gives us the dish on:

When you think of artificial intelligence, what comes to mind?
The 1983 movie, WarGames?
Data, from Star Trek?
Bishop, from Aliens?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a part of Hollywood for decades. Typically, it’s in a negative fashion such as computers taking over the world like Maximum Overdrive, or even The Matrix.
The truth is, AI is simply a system of intelligence across your organization.
Brian Weaver’s company, Torch.AI makes data easier to use. They are changing the paradigm of data and digital workflows, forever solving core impediments caused by the ever-increasing volume and complexity of information resulting in a single unifying solution which begins by instantly deconstructing and describing any data, in real-time.
Far from Hollywood’s evil computer takeovers, Brian’s solutions have helped to fight fraud, secure information, make better decisions of trust, evolve operational capabilities, and create better customer experiences.
Brian joins Adam to dispell the myth around AI. They discuss:

Humans are driven by feelings, which means that B2B marketers need to sell the emotional benefits of buying a product, not the practical ones. Gallup research shows that only 29 percent of B2B customers feel fully engaged with the businesses they buy from.
When B2B decision makers don’t have an emotional connection with the companies from which they do business, they’re unlikely to stay loyal customers.
Customers don’t want to be bombarded with facts and figures, jargon and tech speak. They yearn for a sense of emotional connection that makes them feel special — and makes them feel good about choosing a particular company’s product. Engagement is a critical factor because companies with the highest levels of it also have 72 percent more fully bought-in customers. And once they’ve bought into a company, they are willing to pay a higher price for its products.
Paul Cash is the go-to-guy for B2B marketing in the UK.
He joins Adam to share indispensable advice for engaging customers on a human level, including:

If a picture is worth a thousand words, why do so many of us insist on a thousand words alone?
Whether you’re in a more traditional school setting or a place of business, your organization can use visual thinking to drive collective understandings and engagement. Studies show that information is recalled exponentially more when paired with visuals than without them . . . and to actually generate those visuals along with their connections?
Visuals add unparalleled value to your organization’s thinking, planning, and review processes. They naturally facilitate engagement, enhance information retention, and grant permission for creativity. When your audience is engaged and remembers more, they’ll be ready to take action.
Wendi Pillars loves empowering others through visuals. So much so in fact, that she started her own company to help you tap into your creativity.
Wendi and Adam discuss:
When you sketch more, you think more.
When you think more, you connect more dots.
And when you connect more dots, you accomplish more.
My markers are ready. Are yours?
