David discusses  with Dan Kennedy the latest FTX scandal and how investors, even supposed veterans, can get involved in bad and fraudulent investments. It's in times of market turbulence, the latest popular craze, and when things look confusing that you HAVE to rely on the fundamentals.

Dan also reminds us that especially in this digital age, it's important to remain alert to things that may affect your investments, your business, and even your freedoms. Listen to learn more.

Dan Kennedy is back to discuss the importance of striving for sustainability in your business and in your investments, especially during a recession. Will the services you provide remain essential during a recession? What can you change to make it essential or what kind of customer will find your services essential? Will your investments still provide the same returns? Is that investment model sustainable without the high asset valuations we've seen in recent years? These are only a few questions you should be asking.

Dan stressed the importance of making rational, well-informed decisions even when you have two extremes as prominent behaviors in the crowd - panic or denial. Listen to our private conversation to learn more.

I think everyone has that fear of the stock market tanking and is looking for something more stable for their futures. Many independent dental practice owners like you, turn inward and want to invest in their own businesses. Another avenue is real estate. Doing real estate the right way will allow you to build cash flow and net worth, so you can secure your future.

Dr. Bruce Baird interviews Dr. David Phelps on a special extended edition of The Productive Dentist Podcast. Listen for insights on how you as a dental practice owner can make smart real estate investments including:

• Current thoughts on the economy and where it’s going
• Tips for what to look for when examining options
• Insights on current mortgage and interest rates

Dan Kennedy and I discuss the state of the economy (the effects of inflation and the coming recession), and the importance of making your business essential in the eyes of your customer/client/patient. We also discuss how post-pandemic behaviors effect our businesses and why real estate can be a stable investment throughout ups and downs. Lastly, we discussed "Someday" Syndrome which is putting off enjoying your life until you have X, whether that be retirement, some special goal, an obstacle, etc. 

Dan Kennedy discusses his experience growing his business in the mid-seventies and the lessons he's learned in high inflationary environments. When markets shift, as they inevitably always do, you have to know where to look for opportunities and what to stay away from. Dan explains it's important to make your income streams (having multiple is key!) resilient to change and learn how to make more out of fewer and less. The time of fewer and less is approaching and if you can't hedge and grow what little you have now, you're in for a rough ride. Listen to this episode to gain insight on how to successfully navigate through shifting markets!

The speed of change is always underestimated. This is why I bring Dan Kennedy back to discuss the importance of not being hindered by our crutch of permanence. The world and the markets are changing and we need to adapt our businesses, the way we invest, and the way we look for opportunities in order to be successful. As always, preparation is key, and Dan Kennedy gives us advice on how to best hedge against government disruption, market disruptions, inflation, and more. 

I'm here with Rob Swanson again. Rob finishes explaining his 8 rules of investing that will make sure your wealth grows and stays protected. In my last interview we discussed the first three rules but we will finish in this episode with the next 5-8.

In this podcast, I get to interview Rob Swanson, a real estate coach and a good friend. Rob reveals his 8 rules of investing that will make sure your wealth is protected and even grows. We'll discuss the first three rules in this interview but will finish off 5-8 in the next one. 

Dan Kennedy hops on a call with me to discuss the current political and economic climate (corrupt administration and politicians, deficit spending, alluring fast new investments) and how we should discern where our money and businesses go. Dan encourages keeping your eyes open not just to avoid bad impulse decisions, but to catch opportunities amidst the rising chaos. Listen to this conversation to get perspective on how we should continue to secure our investments, businesses, and future in these trying times.

Jim Sheils (author, real estate expert, father, husband) is here to share his perspective on what it means to create a lasting connection with your family, and specifically your kids. 18 summers is all you have with your children, and Jim offers advice on how to make the most of it while still being successful in other areas of your life.

Ken Wimberly, experienced entrepreneur and investor, is here to share how to obtain the legacy of love and the impact it has on your life, family, and career. Find out why focusing on this legacy makes for a more meaningful, fulfilling, and successful life.

Don Wenner is the Founder & CEO of DLP Real Estate Capital, a leader in the residential real estate sectors of investment management, lending, asset management, property management, construction, home building, and brokerage. Listen to his interview on how to mitigate risk within your own business as well as in your investments.

Don is a master of scaling high growth high-profit entrepreneurial companies. DLP has been ranked in the Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies in the U.S. for 8 consecutive years and has been named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the top 15 real estate firms in the U.S. for the fifth straight year.

In times of increasing government intrusion, regulations, and rising inflation it is important to consider how economic freedom allows us to have options and push back against those who would wish to control us. Dan Kennedy joins me in discussing how history can reveal when certain elements occur in the economy and the political arena. Dan encourages us to build formal, intentional associations with others in order to hedge against all unknowns and he reminds us that with disruptions comes opportunities. Remember - having the mindset, the capacity to think differently is what will make us stand out and thrive in our business, family, and community.

Dan Kennedy is back to share where we are now and what our responsibility is as citizens, investors, and individuals. Dan warns us of the opinion media and propaganda that is rampant in today's social media and self promotion world. In a time when fact is difficult to discern from opinion it is vastly important to understand how to curate information and develop your own personal philosophies on how your life needs to be led. 

In times of hard and fast change, you have to intentionally protect that which is important to you. Dan joins me in sharing how you can protect your business and your investments amidst political and market upheaval. With the federal government pumping so much money into the economy inflation is soon to follow along, but Dan shares important tips to always remain financially stable through out all economic shifts.

The behavior of money is a topic all should be invested in. Dan shares why money flows in certain directions and why many, including our government, try to manipulate the markets to influence it. The instinct is to try to change the natural current of where money goes, but Dan advises to move with the current in order to truly build wealth. Hear how you can invest more securely throughout any manipulation and with more purpose and results. If you want to learn how you can move into the natural flow of money, listen to my conversation with Dan Kennedy.

I'm back with Dan Kennedy to discuss what we can do to better position ourselves in these uncertain times. Amidst this unprecedented and unknown era, it's vital to do what you can, what Dan Kennedy calls "doing the doable" rather than worry or focus on what's out of your control. When job and economic security can change from one day to the next, Dan encourages the practice and learning of transferable skill sets that don't just apply to one job. Tune in to this episode to learn how to market yourself and renegotiate your business model or contracts to not only survive this recession but prepare for all future disruptions.

Dan Kennedy once again offers his unique and wise perspective on recent events, future uncertainty and how we should respond. It's easy to give in to fear, but Dan warns against impulsive decisions and advises us to hold fast for opportunities that are sure to come as a result of major changes. Having a clear blueprint for your life and financial future has never been more crucial along with the ability to adapt and pivot with anything this world has to throw at you.

Marketing to the affluent is a relevant topic that most need to consider as the middle class continues to disappear. Choosing your target market as a business is key to surviving and thriving in this economy and Dan recommends strategically looking for profit in the specific  customers/clients that most provide it.
