• 122: Solo - How a Single Word Can Impact Your Company Culture (And What to Do About It) with Brad Johnson

  What if the biggest threat to your culture was the language you use?As your firm scales, the way you talk about the people on your team can either create clarity or chaos. In this solo episode, I share a painful but powerful lesson I learned while building Triad Partners—from an underperforming team member we were too afraid to let go, to 100+ A-players aligned to a clear mission.You’ll hear the exact mistake we made, why we had to course-correct fast, and how shifting a single word completely transformed how we hire, lead, and hold people accountable.If you’re trying to scale your business without sacrificing your team’s trust or performance, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson …#1.) Why “Family” Sends the Wrong MessageCalling your team a “family” feels inclusive, but it clouds expectations. It creates hesitation when tough decisions need to be made and sends mixed signals about what’s acceptable. Replacing “family” with “team” gives you the clarity and confidence to lead with consistency.#2.) Families Blur Boundaries but Teams Require ThemIn a family, you show up no matter what, even when standards slip. But in business, that thinking weakens accountability. Teams work best when expectations are clear, responsibilities are defined, and everyone knows what it means to pull their weight.#3.) Belonging Should Be Earned, Not AssumedIn a family, you belong by default. On a team, you earn your spot by aligning with the mission. This mindset shift helps you attract the right people, foster buy-in, and build a culture where everyone’s rowing in the same direction.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/122FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

• 121: Derek Coburn - The Rise of Un-Retirement and What It Means for Advisors

  As a financial advisor, you’re taught to ask, “When do you want to retire?” But what if that question is pointing clients toward a goal they don’t actually want?In this episode, I’m talking with Derek Coburn—longtime advisor and author of Let’s Retire Retirement—to talk about how changing that one question can completely shift the way you serve your clients.Derek makes a strong case that instead of chasing some number or arbitrary retirement date, we should be asking: Do you even want to retire? And what are you putting off today for a future that might not play out the way you imagine?He shares why helping clients stay engaged in purposeful work—even part-time—can reduce financial pressure, increase fulfillment, and create more space for what matters most right now.Great advising isn’t about getting clients to the end, it’s about making the in-between years count.3 of the biggest insights from Derek Coburn …#1.) Why “Un-Retirement” Is on the RiseRoughly 25–30% of retirees are returning to work. Not because they need the money, but because they miss purpose, connection, and contribution. Derek explains why it’s time for advisors to stop assuming retirement is the goal and start asking if it’s even the right fit.#2.) The Time Machine Effect: Would You Pay to Go Back in Time?Derek shares a powerful thought experiment: how much would you pay to go back in time for just one more night with your kid at age 10? It’s a reminder that time, not money, is our most valuable asset. As advisors, helping clients reframe retirement isn’t just a financial strategy, it’s a chance to give them more life in their years right now.#3.) How to Attract Clients You Actually Want to Work WithIf you’re taking on clients just to hit a number, it’s only a matter of time before your calendar is filled with people who drain you. Derek shares how he shifted from goal-chasing to values-aligned client growth—and why that mindset leads to both fulfillment and better results.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/121FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a copy of Derek’s book, "Let’s Retire Retirement" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "121" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

• 120: Triad Member – How to Help Clients Actually Live Their Retirement with Dylan Bond

  What if life forced you to step away from your business tomorrow? Would it keep running or come to a halt?That’s exactly what Dylan Bond—a 30-year financial advisor and Triad member—was forced to find out when a life-threatening cancer diagnosis stopped him in his tracks.Despite undergoing major surgery, radiation, and months of recovery, Dylan’s firm outpaced the previous year on a pro rata basis. He shares the systems that made that possible, and the shift that helped him stop operating as a one-man show.More importantly, his experience reshaped how he advises clients—especially those who are financially set but emotionally stuck. Dylan unpacks the reason retirees struggle to spend without guilt, and why most people look back with one regret: “I wish I’d done more while I still could.”3 Big Insights from Dylan …#1.) A Business That Runs Without You Isn’t Optional—It’s a NecessityDylan’s battle with cancer revealed what most advisors don’t realize until it’s too late: If your business can’t grow without you, you don’t own a business, you own a job. Discover the systems, hires, and mindset shifts that allowed his firm to scale, even during the most challenging season of his life.#2.) Why Most Retirees Live Like They’re Broke (Even When They’re Not)Dylan reveals how fear and a lack of planning keeps wealthy retirees from spending money. He explains the simple mindset shift (and plan) that gives clients permission to enjoy their wealth—without guilt or anxiety.#3.) Seminars vs. Educational Events: What Actually Builds Trust?Dylan explains why he transitioned from pitch-heavy seminars to education-first events—and how that subtle shift from selling to teaching created instant trust, sparked better conversations, and led to stronger long-term relationships with prospects.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/120FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

• 118: Pat Flynn - YouTube Growth Secrets (2.5B Views in 300 Days)

  What if you could turn your expertise as a financial advisor into a YouTube channel that builds trust, creates community, and drives new business?Today’s guest has done exactly that—and he’s here to show you how.I’m talking with Pat Flynn, an online creator and entrepreneur who’s spent nearly 20 years building digital businesses and online communities. He’s the creator of Smart Passive Income, a top-rated podcast with over 47 million downloads. He’s also built multiple successful YouTube channels, each tapping into different niches and reaching millions.What really stood out to me about Pat is his willingness to try new things without fear of failure. He’s constantly experimenting, learning from what works (and what doesn’t), and sharing those insights openly with his audience.In this episode, he’s pulling back the curtain on how to build a successful YouTube channel—from creating content that instantly hooks viewers to using YouTube Shorts to skyrocket your reach. If you’ve ever thought about using YouTube to grow your financial firm, this conversation is packed with practical advice you can use. 4 of the biggest insights from Pat … #1.) Proven YouTube Strategies for Explosive GrowthDiscover the YouTube strategies Pat uses to drive massive growth—including how to master hooks, stand out in a crowded market, storytelling techniques, build loyal communities, leverage trending topics, and balance long-form videos with Shorts. #2.) From 0 to 2.5 Billion Views in 300 DaysPat reveals how he launched a Pokémon YouTube channel (without any experience in that niche) and scaled it from 0 to 2.5 billion views in just 300 days. His story is a masterclass in rapid experimentation, finding your niche, and doubling down on what works. #3.)
