July 27, 2016 Steve Forbes
Steve Forbes was born on July 18, 1947, in Morristown, New Jersey. In 1973, he began writing his own column for his father's magazine, Forbes. When his father died in 1990, Steve Forbes took over the magazine. In 1993, he founded Empower America. Forbes sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1996 and 2000, but dropped out both times. He became a Freedom Works board member in 2006.
Born Into Publishing Empire
Born Malcolm Stevenson Forbes Jr. on July 18, 1947, in Morristown, New Jersey, Steve Forbes grew up immersed in the worlds of publishing and politics. His grandfather, B.C. Forbes, was a journalist who founded Forbes magazine. His father, Malcolm Forbes, served as a state senator and had two unsuccessful bids for the New Jersey governorship, in 1953 and 1957.
The oldest of five children, Forbes spent much of his early life at the family's estate—called Timberfield—in Far Hills, New Jersey. He left home at the age of 14 to attend the Brooks School, a private boarding school in North Andover, Massachusetts. Following his graduation from Brooks in 1966, Forbes studied at Princeton University. There, he helmed his first magazine, serving as editor for a student publication called Business Today.
After earning a bachelor's degree in history in 1970, Forbes married his wife, Sabina (whom he'd met at a party in 1970). The couple had five daughters together. Forbes also became involved in the family business, eventually becoming a columnist for their leading publication. At Forbes, he showed a keen interest in economics and fiscal policy. Forbes proved to be a gifted economic forecaster, winning the Crystal Owl Award four times for his spot-on prognostications.

Presidential Ambitions
In 1993, Steve Forbes began his three-year stint as chairman of the board of Empower America, a conservative political reform organization formed by Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett and Jeane Kirkpatrick. Forbes wanted Kemp to run for the U.S. presidency, but he ended up throwing his own hat into the ring after Kemp decided not to enter the race.
Aspiring to the highest office in U.S. government, Forbes made his first bid for the presidency in 1996. Never having run for political office previously, he was both an underdog and an outsider in the fight for the Republican presidential nomination. Forbes used his own personal fortune to the tune of more than $37 million to help fund his campaign, which led to comparisons between him and Ross Perot. Running on a flat-tax platform, he ultimately failed to attract enough voters to win the nomination, and Bob Dole became the party's candidate.
In 2000, Forbes once again tried for the White House, spending roughly $32 million of his own cash to fuel his efforts to secure the Republican nomination. This time around, Forbes was thwarted by a popular Texas governor, George W. Bush.
In Recent Years
Since his failed attempts at the presidency, Steve Forbes has remained an active force at his family's publishing business, and still serves as chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media today. He also still writes for Forbes magazine, continuing to share his views through his editorial column, "Fact and Comment."
Additionally, Forbes has penned several books, including Why Free Markets Are Moral and Big Government Isn't (2012) and How Capitalism Will Save Us (2009)—both co-authored with Elizabeth Ames—and serves as a board member of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the Heritage Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

July 07, 2016 Brian & Kitrina Wright
Seth: Today I have the good fortune to be interviewing a very interesting business. We've got Brian Wright with us today from FA Bean Counters Dot Com. Brian, thank you so much for joining us today, and if you could introduce who you've got with you, that would be great.
Brian: Yeah, thanks for having me. With me I have my co-founder, both in business and in life, Kitrina Wright, my wife.
Kitrina: Hello.
Seth: Hi. Mr. and Mrs. Wright. All right. I'm sure you guys get that a lot.
Brian: Yes, we do. I got a lot of mileage out of that in high school with all my friends' moms.
Seth: Ah, I won't take the bait on that one. How did you get started in terms of FA Bean, how did you get started in the industry, and then how did you get to FA Bean Counters?
Brian: Sure. Well, I am a certified financial planner by trade, so I've been in the industry 10 plus years, working first in the banking industry and then I moved over to fee-only financial planning, working with high network clients. Then a couple of years ago, I left my job-job, where I worked for a boss-boss, and started my own firm, my own financial planning firm. Along the way, and I'm rewinding back 10 years when I started in the industry, my wife had started her own accounting practice at that time. I was working at a firm. She went out on her own, kind of started at 0 clients, and over the last 10 years has been building an accounting practice.
Fast forward back to 2 years ago, I left my firm, kind of joined forces with her, started our own financial advisory practice. She had a 10 year old plus accounting practice, doing accounting, bookkeeping. She's a CPA, so those are her skill sets, accounting, tax, bookkeeping. We went into business doing the financial planning, startup for a financial planning firm. Well, during that process, we met up and we were introduced to a very influential thought leader in our industry by the name of Michael Kitces, and got to know him pretty well, he and Alan Moore as well. They're both co-founders of XY Planning Network, which is a professional network for like-minded, very tech focused financial planners all over the country, all over the world I guess, international, some members.
We were introduced to them, got to know them pretty well. We are a member of that network, XY Planning Network, and just in that friendship, they approached us really and said, "Hey. There's a need in our industry for outsource bookkeeping for financial advisors. We see a huge opportunity. This is a skill set that a financial planner, although financial planners are very smart people, accounting and bookkeeping, double entry bookkeeping, debits-credits, not in the wheelhouse of most financial advisors. This is something that they could easily outsource. It's something they shouldn't be spending their time on. It's not revenue generating. They should be spending every waking moment with clients or working on clients, or trying to find clients. Bookkeeping is something they could easily outsource, and there is no one out there in the marketplace that's targeting financial advisors. There are a number of virtual bookkeepers out there, yes, but we have a lot of moving parts in our industry with compliance and things like that."
They said, "We see a huge opportunity for an accounting practice targeting specifically financial advisors." He was like, "We want to launch this accounting practice. The problem is we don't know anything about running an accounting practice. Fortunately, Brian and Kitrinado." That's kind of how Bean Counters came along, just partnering with an uber-influential thought leader in a particular niche, and it was an easy question for us to answer, and easy decision to make, certainly, partnering with someone of the caliber and influential level of Michael. That's what we did last summer. Last summer we launched,

So What is Advisor Digital Marketing?
http://www.advisorinternetmarketing.com/

My name is Jovan Will and I work with the top financial advisors across the country to prosper in the digital age. My passion is helping advisors achieve greater levels of success using advanced technology and marketing strategies.
Why Should You Listen To Me?
I’ll happily address that question, but first let me ask you a few simple questions:
How many leads did you generate through your website in the last 30 days?
How many qualified appointments were scheduled on your calendar through your website?
How much business did you write in the last 6 months from your website?
If you answered these questions honestly and are NOT happy with the results you produced, then read on, this blog was made for you.
My goal with this blog is plain and simple…to share with you proven digital marketing strategies.
“My mission is to empower YOU to prosper in the digital age.”
And by empower, I don’t mean some BS mission statement that you read on the wall of your local fast-food franchise. I will be revealing to you proven digital marketing strategies to help you find more qualified prospects using your website.
I will be sharing with you my discoveries on how you can build your dream business and live a life that you truly love, while enriching the lives of your clients at the same time.

My Story?
I left a 9-5 job in pursuit of the American dream to build my own business and got involved in home-based business industry. I went to every single training event at hotel meetings, exotic destinations and conference calls and I was an overnight success! Well, actually NOT even close! Eventually, I ended up having stockpiles of unsold inventory, mountains of debt and I got stuck in the NFL club…
…And by NFL club, I mean No-Friends-Left Club because I ran out of qualified prospects to buy my wares. The funny thing is, I wasn’t alone. I later discovered that many business owners struggle with this same problem of not having enough people to get in front of on a daily basis.
I stumbled across the Number #1 rule in growing a business… “Marketing is the LifeBlood of Your Business!” and I quickly learned, that if I didn’t have a consistent flow of qualified leads, my business was doomed from the start.
To fix this problem I spent pretty much every dollar I had on dozens of online courses, coaching programs, DVDs, workshops, and training boot camps.
Jovan Will – financial advisor digital marketing training
I finally stumbled up on a formula for success online and ended up joining another business opportunity. I launched online sales funnels that help pre-sort, pre-qualify, and pre-sell my prospects (24/7 on autopilot) EVEN before I spoke with them, and thus I was able to consistently sell $2,000, $5,000 & $10,000 programs to my clients (around the globe) 100% over the phone and using desktop sharing programs.
As I was building my home-based business, I noticed an unprecedented opportunity in the financial services industry for advisors to adopt these proven digital marketing strategies into practice and thus leverage technology to generate a consistent stream of qualified prospects on auto-pilot.
I discovered that very few “financial people” actually know how to generate leads online and convert those leads into actual sales. I set out to change that.
Okay, so why should you listen to me…
Since embarking in the financial services industry several years ago, I’ve launched online lead generation programs (using 100% digital marketing strategies) that have produced hundreds of millions of dollars in financial product sales.

July 04, 2016 Ryan Michler
Most of my childhood was spent without a permanent father figure in my life. I never learned how to work on my car, I never had the chance to roughhouse with my dad, I didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until I was a freshman in high school.
Looking back on it now, I wonder how my life would have been different if I had a permanent male influence in my life. What would the world look like if there were more men in it? I’m not talking about males. I’m talking about MEN (there is a difference).
Now that I have sons, I’m committed to being the dad that I never had. We do all kinds of great things together-sports (I coach ALL their teams), build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til we’re exhausted.
As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for strong and honorable men outside of the home.
Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!
And that is why I started Order of Man. We’re going to take back what it means to be a man. We’re going to learn together from the best men the world has to offer. And we’re going to return to our roots of masculinity.
I am not an expert. I am learning! And, the only thing that qualifies me to do this work is that I have a passion for self-improvement. My goal is to take my shortcomings in life and make them my strengths.
I didn’t get to learn from great men most of my young life but I figure it’s never to late to start. Join me and let’s become better men together!
