In this episode, Steven's guest is Jeremy Straub, the CEO and Founder of Coastal Wealth. Jeremy has over 20 years of experience in the industry with multiple firms and shares his experience with the power of differentiation (including through tax planning) and the value behind having systems and processes for getting things done. A conversation that at times may feel scripted because of how closely it aligns with so many of Steven's constant refrains, this episode shows that there are consistent themes to what works in practice for the greatest advisors across the country.
Jeremy Straub is the Founder and CEO of Coastal Wealth, a financial services firm that helps clients financially prepare for different stages of life. With over two decades of experience in executive roles in Fortune 500 companies, Jeremy is regarded as a thought leader in the financial services industry. Under Jeremy’s leadership, Coastal Wealth has worked with over 100,000 clients with over $15 billion in assets serviced. In addition to his work at Coastal Wealth, Jeremy owns nine different businesses across five industries that employ over 1,500 people and generate over $100 million in revenue annually.
Jeremy joins me today to discuss how financial advisors can diversify their businesses and expand to other markets and industries. He outlines the industries he’s involved with and how he balances his time between them. He offers advice on what to consider when forming joint ventures. Jeremy also underscores why individuals need to know themselves as financial advisors and highlights how having a condensed work week can help employees and the company.
“Finding opportunities that might be in line with or compliment your existing business is a better way to decide for new business ventures.” - Jeremy Straub

Our Favorite Quotes:
“If you’re reliant on your financial planning practice and invest in a business you know nothing about, you’re in a precarious position. Expand your base first before venturing out into industries that you don't have experience in.” - David Decelle “When you’re trying to enter new ventures, don’t worry about how you’re going to do it but who’s going to help you do it.” - David DeCelle “Don’t reinvent the wheel, but figure out how to make it go faster.” - Jeremy Straub

The Upreneur podcast has partnered up with SCORE, hosted by Jeremy Straub, to help bring engaging conversations with today’s top leaders and business owners. In today’s episode, we spoke with Patrick Mcginnes, Founder of FOMO. We spoke about how Patrick coined the phase FOMO and what we can do to get past it.
Patrick J. McGinnis is a speaker, writer, international venture capitalist, and the investor of the term FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Patrick coined FOMO, as well as the related term FOBO (Fear of a Better Option) in a 2004 article in the student newspaper of Harvard Business School. FOMO has since been added to the dictionary and FOBO has become an increasingly popular framework to describe choice paralysis.
Patrick is the author of Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice, a global bestseller that has been translated into more than ten languages and his popular 2019 TED Talk on FOBO and decision-making that has surpassed 2 million views.
He is also the creator and host of the hit podcast FOMO Sapiens where he talks about FOMO and entrepreneurial decision-making with leaders in business, politics, and culture, including Jay Shetty, Martha Beck, Alec Ross, Josh Peck, Ian Schrager, Gretchen Rubin, Andrew Yang, and the Founders/CEOs of companies including TOMS, Bearaby, GrubHub, ClassPass, Zola, Magic Spoon, and Hint Water.
Patrick is also the author of international bestseller The 10% Entrepreneur: Live Your Startup Dream Without Quitting Your Day Job, a guide to part-time entrepreneurship that has been translated in over ten languages.
He has been featured in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, New York, Good Morning America, NBC News, Politico, The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, Inc, and the upcoming documentary This is Not Financial Advice.
