  • Breaking the Money Hierarchy with Jonathan DeYoe - Episode 226

    The money hierarchy has snuck up on us in this day and age, and we need to discuss why we need to guide the next generation and upgrade their level of awareness to it. In this episode, Jonathan DeYoe joins host Ian Lobas to enlighten us with crucial knowledge on how identity is viewed today.

    Jonathan started as a Financial Advisor in a Wall Street firm in 1996 - right out of graduate school. Jonathan started DeYoe Wealth Management in 2001 to simplify personal finance and help busy people live meaningful lives. Their dedication to first class service, the commitment to evidence-based investing, and a client first philosophy have placed their firm in a category by itself.

    Financial planning is not about money and the real benefits of financial planning are not financial. At its best, financial planning is about building futures, protecting families, creating legacies and encouraging clients to pursue their passions. Jonathan does his best work in the place where love and money overlap.

    Investment success is determined more by choices than by market and economic data. They have created a comprehensive ecosystem of advice to simplify decisions, reduce anxiety and empower clients to stay true to both their life-purpose and the financial plan that they have designed together.

  • Play to Win with Tom Fairey - Episode 224

    What’s your version of success? Are you willing to go all in to get it?

    In this episode, Tom Fairey joins host Ian Lobas to share what he has learned over the years about business and life. Tom is a great example of how a super-competitive nature makes everything possible. He left his “vanilla” lifestyle on a little island in the UK and moved to the city where he worked for 15 years..

    Tom is the founder of Stakester, which he started with almost no money, no coding experience and having never worked in gaming or even owning a PlayStation. Stakester is an entertainment platform that gives gamers a platform to add monetary pride to the online gaming experience. Through proprietary technology, Stakester acts as the third partner in gaming challenges to ensure payouts are handled correctly.

    Less than three years later it’s the fastest growing competition platform on the planet, having raised over 5 million bucks. The company is worth over $70 million today.

    Tom and Ian discuss the distinction between success and happiness, noting that happiness is fleeting yet it isn’t wise to chase a perception of success only to be unhappy. After all, as they point out, the universe is going to reward you when you remove distractions from your life.

  • The Secret To Purposeful, Powerful Partnerships with Ian & Meredith Lobas - Episode 223

    Do you make a conscious choice to check in with yourself and your partner regularly? The truth is that every day you wake up, you get to decide how you handle the stress and pressure brought on by events in your day or by your relationship.

    In this episode, the entrepreneurial husband and wife team of Ian and Meredith Lobas share the secrets of their partnership. They point out that communication is key and we need to be vulnerable without making our own meaning of things that happen. Although it might be hard to surrender to what’s to come without a Plan B, this is a crucial test of trust.

    Ian and Meredith also advise individuals to be honest and accountable with themselves and blame no one but yourself for your successes and failures. After all, you have to put all the chips on you and bet on yourself. They remind listeners that it is best to focus your energy on trust and faith, rather than blame and anger, bearing in mind that you will attract what you focus on.

    There are tons of valuable tips in this episode, including the importance of giving yourself grace and learning one thing today to make tomorrow better. Ian and Meredith also warn that if your partner isn’t willing to trust and grow with you, if they cannot take a leap and trust in challenging themselves, it will hold you back, yet you must allow your partner to work through things at their pace in their own way, as long as they are committed.

    At the end of the episode listen for your challenge: think back to the things that you felt helped you as a couple, like communication or surrender or faith and trust or genuine curiosity about learning. Make a list of all the things that were mentioned in the conversation and then review.

    When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other amazing shows with Ian & Meredith Lobas, including Supporting the Growth of a Vision and The Ins & Outs of an Entrepreneurial Family on Purpose.
