In this episode, Steven is joined by John Poole, a partner at JPTD and a seasoned veteran when it comes to helping financial advisors get their practices ready and navigate through equity events. John and Steven talk about common misconceptions advisors have about their own numbers and what really drives value in a business. John shares from his extensive experience with real practice transactions to help listeners understand the steps they can take and the areas they need to focus on to maximize their value, whether they are 2 months or 20 years from any kind of equity event. Every business will eventually transition in some way; the key is being intentional along the way.

Steven is joined this week by Daniel Friedman, a financial advisor who has been leading with taxes for 3 decades. Daniel shares the origin and growth of WMGNA and how leading with taxes has made all the difference. Steven and Daniel discuss why taxes create such a powerful opportunity and why there is still so much room for advisors to get in on the action of providing tax planning for their clients. They also discuss why more and more clients are expecting taxes to be part of the conversation, whether advisors are ready for it or not.

In this episode, Steven is answering advisor questions directly from the trenches. Twice a month, Steven hosts live office hours for the RTS community that are all about helping advisors cut through the noise and get to what they need to take action and serve clients. A 30-minute episode could never capture the full power of these live sessions, but this week, Steven has selected some of the more common topics to help our listeners get ready for year-end and get an idea of what their peers are asking. If you'd like to get your questions answered on a future office hour, check out our memberships at retirementtaxservices.com
