  • Save Taxes, Grow Wealth Faster!

    In this episode, R. Kenner French dives into one of the most pressing concerns for entrepreneurs—taxes. He emphasizes that while many business owners view taxes as a burden or a waste of time, the reality is quite the opposite. Taxes are often one of the largest expenses for entrepreneurs, which makes it critical to focus on strategies to mitigate them. Kenner draws a parallel to the famous “practice” speech in sports, making the point that just as practice is vital for athletes, understanding taxes is essential for business owners.


    Kenner underscores the importance of being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to taxes. Instead of waiting until tax season to deal with a bill, he advises entrepreneurs to review their tax situation quarterly. He suggests that investing just a small portion of time—such as a quarter each year—into tax planning can significantly reduce liabilities. Whether working independently or with a qualified professional, entrepreneurs can optimize their financial outcomes and free up more capital for reinvestment.


    Using a simple example, He illustrates how tax planning directly affects long-term growth. If an entrepreneur has $100,000 to invest and earns an 8% return, that growth will be far greater than starting with only $80,000 because of overpaid taxes. By actively lowering taxes, entrepreneurs can increase their investable base and enjoy compounded growth over time. He makes it clear that legal, moral, and ethical strategies should always be the foundation of tax planning—shortcuts or illegal actions only lead to bigger problems.


    He also reminds listeners that the IRS itself does not want taxpayers to overpay. In fact, taxpayers have a responsibility to ensure they are not giving away more money than required. He notes that too many people, including some tax professionals, treat taxes as a once-a-year obligation, when in truth it should be an ongoing process beginning January 1st. Regular attention, coupled with professional guidance, can uncover numerous legitimate opportunities to lower taxes.


    He closes by encouraging entrepreneurs to take tax planning seriously and to leverage resources like CPAs and tax specialists when needed. At its core, his message is simple: understanding and managing taxes is one of the most effective ways to preserve and grow wealth as an entrepreneur. Kenner invites listeners to share ideas on how to make Tax Tuesday even more engaging, reinforcing his mission of delivering business secrets that help entrepreneurs thrive.


    Takeaways

    • Taxes are one of the biggest expenses for entrepreneurs.

    • Spending time on tax optimization can lead to significant savings.

    • Engaging with a tax professional is crucial for effective tax management.

  • Virtual Assistants, Real Business Power!

    R. Kenner French and Liliana Falconer dive into the often-debated topic of hiring virtual assistants and overseas employees. Kenner opens by acknowledging that the idea can be controversial for entrepreneurs, particularly when it comes to balancing cost savings with questions of morality and responsibility. Lily responds enthusiastically, emphasizing how virtual assistance can be a valuable resource for startups by providing cost-effective support and tapping into global talent—something that became more normalized after the rise of remote work during 2020.


    The discussion turns to the ethical concern of “taking jobs away” from U.S. workers. Kenner raises the dilemma of whether employing people abroad is fair when it may shift opportunities outside the country. Lily argues that the internet has broken down borders, and entrepreneurs shouldn’t view it as stealing jobs but rather as supporting the global economy. She even suggests that employing people abroad contributes to global stability and opportunity rather than harm.


    Both speakers highlight another benefit—loyalty. Kenner notes that workers overseas often show strong dedication and gratitude for the opportunity, while Lily expands on this by drawing a distinction between hiring someone for supportive tasks versus entrusting them with a leadership or partnership role. She suggests entrepreneurs should exercise caution when bringing overseas employees into deeper, decision-making roles, as that dynamic can present unique challenges compared to hiring for supportive positions.


    They also cover potential downsides. Lily’s biggest caution is the lack of security: overseas workers may disappear suddenly due to unreliable internet or other life circumstances, leaving entrepreneurs vulnerable. Kenner acknowledges this as a valid concern but counters with strategies such as documenting processes and training, so that if one worker leaves, the next can step in quickly. They both agree that entrepreneurs should know the role well enough to step in temporarily if needed, especially in the early stages of business growth.


    In conclusion, both Kenner and Lily stress that while hiring overseas comes with risks, the rewards outweigh them when approached thoughtfully. It provides cost savings, global impact, and access to skilled, loyal individuals who can help businesses scale. They frame virtual assistants not just as contractors, but as valuable team members contributing to long-term success. The conversation closes with Kenner noting that VastSolutionsGroup.com has extensive experience with virtual assistants and can offer guidance to entrepreneurs considering this route, while both express excitement about continuing their collaborative discussions.


    Takeaways

    • If done right, hiring overseas can save money.

    • The internet has removed geographical boundaries for employment.

    • Hiring overseas can create loyalty and ownership.

    • There are moral considerations in outsourcing jobs.

    • Employing overseas can help the global economy.

    • Overseas employees can be more dedicated and loyal.

    • There are risks of overseas employees disappearing.

    • It's crucial to have documented processes for tasks.

    • Entrepreneurs should know how to do the jobs of their employees.

    • Hiring virtual assistants can be a win-win situation.


    Sound Bites

    • It's a win-win situation.

    • This has been awesome.

  • Be CEO Of Your Life!

    The conversation opens with R. Kenner French expressing his admiration for Sharon Lechter, crediting her work—particularly the book she co-authored—as a catalyst for his entrepreneurial journey. He highlights the ripple effect of her influence, noting how many entrepreneurs have indirectly benefited from her teachings. Sharon immediately shares her core advice: focus on buying, building, and creating income-producing assets. She explains that while income is important, long-term financial independence is only achieved by building assets that can eventually generate wealth without requiring constant personal effort.


    Sharon then reflects on her background, growing up in a modest household and initially swearing never to be an entrepreneur after working in her parents’ small businesses. Determined to pursue stability, she entered the corporate world as a CPA and became one of the first women in public accounting in Atlanta. Despite early success, she felt unfulfilled and took a leap into entrepreneurship after asking herself, “Why not?” That mindset—seeing problems and opportunities as challenges worth tackling—became the foundation of her entrepreneurial philosophy.


    She introduces her Personal Success Equation, which combines Passion + Talent, multiplied by the power of Associations and Action, and then infused with Faith. Sharon stresses that entrepreneurs often fall short not because of lack of knowledge, but because of fear or reluctance to act. She emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with the right mentors and peers who provide encouragement and accountability.


    The discussion also covers Sharon’s current work as a high-level mentor. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all programs, she steps into her clients’ worlds to help them identify new revenue streams, strengthen systems, and build businesses that outlast them. She cites examples of clients who, through her guidance, better protected their intellectual property, expanded licensing opportunities, or eliminated debt that was holding them back. Sharon underscores that her mission is to help entrepreneurs not only achieve wealth, but also create legacies that benefit their families and communities.


    Toward the end, Sharon reflects on her role in financial literacy advocacy. While she admits working with government has been frustrating, she remains passionate about making money education universal. She closes with her signature reminder that entrepreneurs must focus on assets, control their mindset, and take ownership as the “CEO of their life.” The interview leaves listeners with both practical strategies and a motivational challenge: to step outside comfort zones, act boldly, and build lasting assets that ensure freedom and impact.


    Takeaways

    Concentrate on buying and creating income-producing assets.

    The journey to financial independence requires active effort initially.

    Passion and talent combined with the right associations lead to success.

    Taking action is crucial; many know what to do but don't act.

    Faith in oneself and one's mission is essential for overcoming fear.

    Surrounding oneself with the right people is vital for success.

    Financial literacy should be taught in schools to empower future generations.

    Your past does not define you; learn from it and move forward.

    Engagement in high-level mentoring can significantly impact business growth.

    Creating a legacy involves planning for the future and ensuring sustainability.


    Sound Bites

    Why not do something different?

    Step outside your comfort zone.

    You are the CEO of your life.

  • Future-Proof Your Wealth With AI!

    R. Kenner French opened his remarks by celebrating the successful launch of his newest book, Modern Millions.AI. Although it is his fourth book, he admitted feeling nervous beforehand since this release was not only for clients and prospects but also intended for the wider marketplace. To his surprise, the response exceeded expectations, with strong positive feedback and early excitement suggesting that the book could reach thousands of readers. He expressed deep gratitude to those who purchased and supported the launch, recognizing the value of their time and attention.


    He encouraged readers not only to enjoy the book but also to fully digest its lessons. He emphasized that the book is designed to create impact—whether helping someone on their journey to becoming a millionaire, billionaire, or simply financially stronger. He also urged readers to share the book with others who might benefit from it. In his view, the knowledge contained in Modern Millions.AI is not meant to sit idle on a bookshelf but to inspire and support real change in people’s financial lives.

French highlighted that this "living, breathing" nature makes the book unique compared to most business or finance titles.


    Kenner also made a heartfelt request for reviews. He explained that posting a review on Amazon, Google, or similar platforms plays a critical role in helping more people discover the book. Algorithms favor works with strong reviews, which in turn allows the message to reach wider audiences. He framed this as not only beneficial for himself but also potentially life-changing for future readers who might come across the book thanks to those recommendations.


    Finally, Kenner extended an invitation for direct communication. Readers with questions are welcome to reach out via [email protected]

    , reinforcing his commitment to being available as a resource and partner in their journey. He reiterated that the book is meant to help entrepreneurs grow their wealth, minimize taxes legally, protect assets, and plan estates—all while leveraging artificial intelligence.

    Takeaways

    • Modern Millions.AI launched successfully with strong positive feedback.

    • The book evolves weekly with updates at modernmillions.ai.

    • Readers are encouraged to share the book with others who can benefit.

    • Reviews on Amazon or Google help spread the book to more people.

  • Cross-Border Business Without Tax Traps!

    The episode opens with host R. Kenner French introducing his guest, Deniz Kiral, an expert in international tax. Kenner sets the stage by acknowledging that tax topics are usually considered boring but assures listeners that Deniz will make them engaging and insightful. About 15 years ago, he branched out to build his own practice, focusing on planning, compliance, and transaction work for businesses with international tax needs. His clients range from small businesses expanding overseas to larger corporations requiring specialized expertise.


    The conversation shifts to Deniz client profile. He explains that while his expertise is in U.S. international tax law, he often collaborates with local tax professionals from other countries (such as Canada) to give clients a comprehensive strategy. For example, if a Canadian entrepreneur operates a business in the U.S., He handles the U.S. tax side while coordinating with a Canadian tax advisor. Similarly, if a U.S. citizen is working abroad, Deniz manages the U.S. compliance and structuring, ensuring that clients don’t face unexpected tax burdens. This team-based approach helps clients navigate the complexities of cross-border taxation.


    Kenner then brings up a practical scenario involving a Canadian resident who owns property in the U.S. and forms an LLC. Deniz explains that this is a common situation where U.S.-based advice doesn’t always apply well to non-residents. For U.S. taxpayers, an LLC is typically favorable because of its pass-through taxation that avoids double taxation.


    He stresses that in these situations, he often advises placing foreign investors directly into a C corporation structure rather than an LLC. While this does come with the double taxation that U.S. corporations face, it prevents more punitive outcomes such as withholding taxes on U.S.-sourced income and the branch profits tax (a dividend-equivalent tax imposed on foreign-owned businesses). This approach demonstrates the importance of tailoring the entity choice to the taxpayer’s residency and overall tax profile rather than applying domestic rules universally.


    Toward the end, He also highlights another common scenario: foreign investors purchasing U.S. real estate. He notes that this requires special structuring and planning to avoid unnecessary tax traps, though the conversation is briefly cut off due to technical issues with his audio connection. Despite this interruption, the discussion provides valuable insight into how international tax law requires nuanced strategies, especially for non-residents engaging in U.S. business or property ownership. He positions himself as a specialist who bridges the knowledge gap where most domestic CPAs may not have expertise, ensuring clients avoid costly mistakes when navigating cross-border financial matters.


    Takeaways

    • He has over 15 years of experience in international tax.

    • He focuses on smaller businesses with international tax needs.

    • Understanding U.S. tax laws is crucial for non-residents.

    • Non-resident aliens face different tax structures than U.S. citizens.

    • LLCs may not be the best option for non-resident aliens.

    • C corporations can help avoid double taxation for non-residents.

    • Tax planning can get complicated, especially internationally.

    • Collaboration with local advisors is essential for compliance.

    • Branch profits tax is a key consideration for foreign investors.

    • Effective tax strategies can save businesses significant amounts.


    Sound Bites

    • It can get way complicated.

    • They have to level of tax.

    • I think we lost Dennis.

  • AI Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Investors!

    R. Kenner French, author of ModernMillions.AI: Make Millions, Save Millions, Protect Millions, shared insights into his journey writing the book and his broader mission of helping entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and investors leverage artificial intelligence. French began researching AI in 2010, adopted it personally in 2014, and by 2018 integrated it into his company VastSolutionsGroup.com through their proprietary tax model “Einstein.” Unlike his earlier books, which mainly served as business cards, this latest project is backed by an intentional launch team of 25 people and designed to be more interactive, practical, and impactful.


    He explained that the book is not just a static resource but a “living, breathing” guide. Readers can access ModernMillions.ai for continuously updated resources, workbooks, summaries, and tools that align with the book’s themes. French emphasized that AI evolves rapidly, making it difficult for a single book to remain current. To address this, the companion website will be updated weekly with new apps, tools, and strategies that help business owners increase net worth, lower taxes, and protect assets. The goal is to ensure readers don’t just put the book on a shelf, but take action.


    A key point Kenner stressed is AI’s efficiency compared to humans in financial decision-making. He noted that while AI makes mistakes roughly 14% of the time versus humans’ 40%, combining AI with expert consultation lowers errors even further. He encouraged professionals and clients alike to adopt AI, citing that even modest taxpayers can benefit from simple AI-powered apps. His firm also developed VastBookie.ai, a free bookkeeping app designed to reduce costs and provide proactive tax suggestions to entrepreneurs.


    Kenner acknowledged that writing ModernMillions.AI was challenging, not only because of the time commitment but also because of the responsibility: readers might act on his recommendations. He credited his employee Princess as a key partner in the book’s development, underscoring the collaborative nature of the project. He also described plans to promote the book more aggressively than his past works, including speaking engagements with leaders in the entrepreneurial and real estate communities.


    Looking ahead, Kenner expressed interest in writing about quantum computing, which he believes will eventually surpass AI in transformative impact for small businesses and entrepreneurs. For now, he hopes ModernMillions.AI will empower readers to take the first step toward using AI with intent, not casually, and to integrate it into their financial and business strategies. He closed by encouraging readers to share the book, leave reviews, and connect via ModernMillions.ai or VastSolutionsGroup.com for continued resources and support.


    Takeaways

    • Artificial intelligence can significantly reduce mistakes in business processes.

    • The book 'Modern Millions' aims to be a living document, continuously updated with new AI resources.

    • AI can help entrepreneurs save money and increase their net worth.

    • The writing process for 'Modern Millions' was more intentional than previous books.

    • AI is changing rapidly, necessitating ongoing updates to resources.

    • Quantum computing is seen as the next frontier for enhancing business operations.

    • The book targets solopreneurs and real estate investors specifically.

    • AI tools can automate bookkeeping and reduce costs for entrepreneurs.


    Sound Bites

    • You have to act on it.

    • This is a living breathing book.

    • AI is changing so rapidly.

  • When 1+1=3: Strategic Alliances for Growth!

    R. Kenner French discusses the importance of strategic alliances and joint ventures for entrepreneurs. He begins by sharing that his company is about to formally launch a partnership with another firm, highlighting the potential for exponential growth when two businesses combine resources. Using the analogy “one plus one equals three,” Kenner explains how merging strengths, client bases, and expertise can produce results greater than the sum of their parts.


    Kenner emphasizes that a successful alliance allows each party to contribute different capabilities, expanding market reach and creating cross-referral opportunities. He shares that VastSolutionsGroup.com has 12,000 contacts while the partner firm has 4,000, resulting in a combined reach of 16,000. With joint marketing efforts, this audience can grow exponentially, benefiting both organizations. He draws parallels to simple trades, like a plumber teaming up with an electrician, to show how complementary services can open new revenue streams.


    One concern many entrepreneurs have with strategic alliances is loss of control. Kenner admits this was also a worry for him but stresses the importance of outlining terms in advance. This includes mapping responsibilities, planning for dissolution if things don’t work out, and ensuring both parties are aligned. Establishing a clear written agreement helps avoid misunderstandings and allows the partners to operate effectively without unnecessary conflicts over authority.


    He also addresses the issue of unforeseen events, such as the death or disability of a partner. He explains how insurance tools, like cross-purchase agreements, can ensure the surviving partner retains full control while the deceased partner’s spouse or family receives fair compensation. This safeguards the business and protects personal relationships, demonstrating that strategic alliances should include thoughtful estate planning and risk management measures.


    In closing, Kenner notes that he was initially hesitant to embrace both social media marketing and strategic alliances, but both have significantly contributed to his company’s growth. VastSolutionsGroup.com focuses on tax, finance, and artificial intelligence solutions for entrepreneurs, and Kenner sees strategic alliances as a powerful, underutilized tool for business owners. By combining networks, skills, and resources, entrepreneurs can grow faster, serve more clients, and strengthen their long-term financial position.


    Takeaways

    • Strategic alliances can lead to exponential growth.

    • Merging forces can create more value than individual efforts.

    • Social media plays a crucial role in business growth.

    • Control is a common concern in partnerships.

    • Insurance policies can mitigate risks in alliances.

    • Clear agreements can help manage control issues.

    • Collaboration can enhance service offerings.

    • Entrepreneurs should embrace strategic partnerships.

    • Marketing is essential for business success.

    • Strategic alliances can be beneficial for entrepreneurs.


    Sound Bites

    • You lose a lot of control.

    • You deserve that book.

  • Can You Unlock Hidden AI Savings?

    This podcast episode features marketing strategist Dhaval Patel diving into the live launch of the new AI Credit Max service—a tool designed to help entrepreneurs claim federal and state tax credits, particularly those innovating with artificial intelligence. Many businesses, from startups using ChatGPT to marketing tech platforms, may qualify for significant refunds their CPAs never flagged. AI Credit Max streamlines the process, offering both automated and assisted options to quickly identify eligibility.


    Dhaval frames the rollout as a B2B lead-generation challenge, stressing the need for a high-impact landing page with email capture, segmented drip campaigns, and tightly targeted ad spending. He recommends focusing on LinkedIn and precision Facebook ads over spreading efforts thin across multiple channels. His advice includes rigorous A/B testing of creatives and audience segments to keep costs down while ensuring quality leads. Beyond paid traffic, Dhaval underscores the value of a content strategy built for both SEO and AEO, using keyword-rich FAQs to rank on Google and AI-driven search tools like ChatGPT.


    The discussion expands to multi-pronged outreach. Kenner outlines current tactics—mastermind participation, niche communities like Vast Vault, and upcoming local campaigns on Bainbridge Island. Dhaval suggests tapping micro-influencers by giving them free access to AI Credit Max in exchange for authentic testimonials. He also emphasizes backlink building from respected local and industry publications, explaining that even mid-tier outlets like the Seattle Times can drive meaningful traffic. While tools like Yext can help with directory listings, he favors targeted, hands-on PR and curated backlink strategies.


    They explore additional growth levers such as timely press releases tied to relevant news (e.g., tax law changes) and distributed through trusted PR networks with UTM tracking for ROI measurement. Local PR outreach could also extend to regional tech hubs via publications like GeekWire. Dhaval champions the creation of case study–driven podcasts and YouTube content—both short and long form—showing real clients’ success stories with AI Credit Max. This not only builds credibility but also yields valuable feedback during the beta phase.


    The conversation closes with a strong focus on iterative testing—not just across channels, but within campaigns—to refine messaging and targeting over time. Kenner acknowledges that while the company has been media-quiet in the past, it’s time to embrace visibility and authority-building. The overall takeaway is a tactical blueprint for launching a new B2B service: combine multi-channel outreach, data-driven experimentation, authority content, and relationship-based marketing to maximize impact in both local and national markets.


    Takeaways

    • AI Credit Max helps entrepreneurs access tax credits.

    • B2B marketing focuses on lead generation.

    • Social media and content marketing are crucial for visibility.

    • Building authority through community engagement is essential.

    • Backlinks improve SEO and website authority.

    • Press releases can amplify product launches.

    • Local marketing can tap into community needs.

    • AI is transforming marketing strategies.

    • Testing and iteration are key to successful campaigns.

    • Long-form and short-form content both have their place.


    Sound Bites

    • Your number one goal is to get leads.

    • Lean into the ease of use of AI.

    • Backlinks are like votes online.

  • AI Secrets to Build Wealth!

    R. Kenner French, author of ModernMillions.ai and founder of VastSolutionsGroup.com, opens his talk with a promise: the next 30 minutes will teach entrepreneurs how to make, save, and protect millions using artificial intelligence. Having researched AI since 2010, implemented it by 2014, and developed his own FinTech model in 2018, French emphasizes that his strategies are built on years of experience, not recent hype. His firm’s AI systems are specifically designed to reduce taxes, grow net worth, and protect assets for business owners.


    Kenner outlines common reasons entrepreneurs struggle with wealth creation, including outdated financial strategies, lack of asset protection, poor planning, and ignoring the potential of AI. He stresses that AI can modernize tax planning, financial planning, estate planning, and asset protection. Ignoring AI, he argues, is a major mistake in today’s business environment, especially when most entrepreneurs unknowingly overpay tens or even hundreds of thousands in taxes each year.


    His wealth-building framework follows five steps: Discover, Design, Document, Deploy, and Diagnose. “Discover” means defining personal wealth goals and assessing one’s current position; “Design” involves creating an AI-backed financial strategy; “Document” focuses on legally protecting plans through trusts, LLCs, and directives; “Deploy” means putting the plan into action; and “Diagnose” involves regularly reviewing and adjusting the plan to stay on course. Kenner stresses that continuous monitoring is critical to long-term success.


    He shares underused tax strategies, such as the Augusta Rule (renting your home tax-free for 14 days) and leveraging R&D tax credits. He warns against common entity structuring errors and highlights how AI can identify deductions and credits that might otherwise be overlooked. Collaborating with experts like estate planning attorney Bob Bluhm, VastSolutionsGroup.com integrates tax mitigation, finance, and asset protection under one umbrella. Their AI models, such as “Einstein,” help business owners find savings and improve compliance.


    In closing, Kenner positions AI not as a threat, but as a tool for smarter business and personal finance. From predictive tax reduction and retirement simulations to safeguarding digital assets and improving estate planning, AI offers entrepreneurs a competitive advantage. He encourages attendees to explore his new book, ModernMillions.ai, as a comprehensive playbook for AI-driven wealth building. Kenner’s core message is clear: AI is here to stay, and those who harness it can secure greater financial growth, protection, and legacy.
