You’re making money—but where is it all going?

Many business owners focus on increasing revenue, but never build the financial structure needed to actually keep and strategically use the money they make.

In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu sits down with Brandon Neely, entrepreneur, real estate investor, Profit First Professional, and Bank On Yourself Professional, to explore the financial systems behind cash flow, profit, liquidity, and long-term wealth.

Brandon shares the lessons he learned from owning a brick-and-mortar coffee shop, surviving a devastating flood, and discovering how the right financial structure helped him sell his business instead of being forced to close it.

Today, through Counterflow, Brandon helps business owners understand how money flows through their personal and business finances—and how to build financial systems designed for greater stability, flexibility, and opportunity.

This conversation challenges one of the biggest assumptions in business:

Making more money doesn't automatically mean you're building wealth.

Brandon also shares how a flood tested his financial foundation—and why having access to capital and the right financial systems can make the difference between being forced to shut down and having the flexibility to keep moving forward.

Your company may be spending far more on AI than it needs to—and you may not even know it.AI isn't necessarily the expensive part. The problem may be how your company is routing AI requests.In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu sits down with Jeremy Barry, co-founder of Zumah, to uncover the hidden cost of enterprise AI and why businesses may be sending simple tasks to expensive AI models when cheaper models could handle them just as effectively.Jeremy and his co-founder discovered the problem firsthand after their AI usage triggered warnings during their internships. That experience led them to build a system that automatically analyzes an AI request and routes it to the most cost-effective model capable of completing the task.The result? Jeremy says they've seen potential AI cost reductions ranging from 60% to 85%, with an early client pilot reducing token costs by approximately 70% in just two weeks.🚀 IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:✅ Why AI costs can explode as companies scale✅ What AI tokens actually mean for businesses✅ Why companies may be paying for more powerful AI models than necessary✅ How intelligent AI routing can reduce costs✅ Why AI cost optimization becomes more important at enterprise scale✅ How businesses can identify unnecessary AI spending✅ Who can benefit from an AI token audit✅ How Jeremy and his co-founder turned an internship problem into a business✅ What a real-world AI cost reduction pilot looks like✅ Where AI cost management could be headed nextJeremy also explains why the goal isn't to make employees change the way they use AI. Instead, the technology works behind the scenes to find a more efficient route for each request.If your business is using ChatGPT, Claude, APIs, custom LLMs, or other AI systems at scale, this conversation could change the way you think about your AI budget.💡 The big takeaway:AI should create a return—not become an uncontrolled expense.👤 GUEST INFORMATION🌐 Zumah:https://zumah.co💼 Jeremy Barry:Search for Jeremy Barry on LinkedIn and connect with him directly.Mention Glovisor when reaching out 🤝If you'd like a personal introduction or have questions about working with them, feel free to reach out to us, and we'd be happy to connect you.---🚀 Level Up Your Life & Business with Glovisor👉 Start here:https://Glovisor.com📘 Learn through our books:https://store.glovisor.com🎓 Master the system with our guided online course🤝 Go deeper with personalized 1-on-1 coachingSubscribe to the Glovisor Podcast for conversations with founders, leaders, and experts who share the strategies, systems, and mindsets that drive business growth.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 The Hidden Cost of AI00:49 Meet Jeremy Barry & Zumah01:15 Why Companies Are Overspending on AI03:38 How AI Cost Routing Works04:53 Turning an AI Problem Into a Business07:34 What AI Tokens Actually Cost08:59 AI Costs at Enterprise Scale09:44 Who Needs AI Cost Optimization?10:30 The Free AI Token Audit11:36 A 70% Cost Reduction Success Story12:18 Can AI Cost Optimization Become Set-It-and-Forget-It?13:08 Jeremy's Biggest AI Lesson13:36 How to Connect With Zumah#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AICosts #AIOptimization #BusinessAI #AITools #MachineLearning #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #TechStartup #Startup #AIForBusiness #BusinessStrategy #Glovisor #JoeAbreu #GlovisorPodcast #Zumah

What happens to your wealth when you're no longer around to protect it?Building wealth is only half the job. The other half is making sure your family understands it, is prepared for it, and knows how to carry your values forward.

In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu sits down with Sandy Pollack, founder of Trimaran Advisory Group and an expert in values-based legacy planning, family business succession, and multigenerational wealth.

Sandy explains why traditional estate planning isn't always enough—and why a perfectly structured financial plan can still fail if families haven't had the difficult conversations about money, values, expectations, relationships, and the future.

Her approach goes beyond wills, trusts, and taxes. It starts with understanding the story behind the wealth: the failures, sacrifices, risks, values, hopes, and dreams that created it.Because the goal isn't simply to leave wealth behind.It's to leave a legacy that brings a family together—not one that creates conflict.

🚀 IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:✅ Why successful families can still be unprepared for succession✅ Why estate planning is about more than minimizing taxes✅ How family money conversations can prevent future conflict✅ Why children need financial education before inheriting wealth✅ How family governance can protect a growing family business✅ Why the spouse can be the "silent asset class" in succession planning✅ How to prepare the next generation for responsibility✅ Why wealth can create unexpected pressure for heirs✅ How to align family values with financial decisions✅ Why the best time to start legacy planning is now

Sandy also shares a powerful real-world family business story involving four founders and the next generation—and how proactive governance helped the family navigate succession, conflict, expectations, and the future of their business.Her message is simple but powerful:Don't just leave your family money.Leave them the knowledge, values, communication, and confidence to handle it.

What does it take to stay successful for more than 40 years while the world around you completely changes?

In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu sits down with Jeanette Deatherage, a longtime Mary Kay beauty consultant, to explore more than four decades of entrepreneurship, resilience, customer relationships, personal branding, and adapting to change.

Jeanette's journey began long before Zoom, social media, e-commerce, and Amazon. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, she built a career with Mary Kay and has watched the business evolve from paper orders and face-to-face demonstrations to websites, electronic ordering, Zoom meetings, and digital customer relationships.

But technology isn't the only reason she's stayed successful.

Jeanette explains why personal service, customer relationships, confidence, teamwork, mentorship, and taking small steps have remained at the heart of her business—even as the marketplace has changed dramatically.

She also shares the story behind Mary Kay's iconic Pink Cadillac program, how she earned the use of 11 company cars during her career, and why helping customers feel confident is about much more than makeup.

🚀 IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:

✅ How to build a business that can survive decades of change

✅ Why personal service can still compete with major online marketplaces

✅ How to adapt your business to new technology

✅ Why relationships matter in customer retention

✅ How Zoom transformed Jeanette's business

✅ The importance of setting small, achievable goals

✅ How mentorship and teamwork can accelerate growth

✅ Why confidence is one of the most valuable things a business can give customers

✅ What entrepreneurs can learn from a 40+ year business journey

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, salesperson, or someone considering starting a business, Jeanette's story offers a powerful lesson:

You don't have to do everything at once. Start where you are, take the next step, adapt when the world changes, and keep moving forward.
