Acerca de esta escucha

"Do Business. Do Life." is a weekly podcast dedicated to helping the independent financial advisor create unlimited growth and freedom in their business AND life.

Having been a coach for the top 1% of independent financial advisors for 15+ years, Brad Johnson has seen far too many leaders in financial services sacrifice their marriages, health, relationships, and everything else that matters to walk across an industry stage recognizing their "success." That model is broken, and Brad's on a mission to fix it.

Join Brad as he distills the best advice from top thought leaders and applies it to the world of independent financial advising. Get actionable tips/tactics on sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, business growth, lead generation, hiring, training, team building, company culture, core values, work/life integration, family, relationships, and more!

"Do Business. Do Life." is way more than just another podcast for financial advisors. It's an experience. It's a community. And more than anything, it's a movement. #DBDL

    117: Alex Judd - Your Personality Is NOT a Business Plan
    May 21 2025
    Imagine a business that doesn’t depend on you—one that scales, thrives, and grows without your constant involvement. That’s exactly what Alex Judd reveals in this episode.Alex spent years at the Dave Ramsey organization as the former host of the EntreLeadership Podcast, giving him the opportunity to learn from one of the most influential names in personal finance. He saw firsthand how Dave empowered his team, fostered a culture of accountability, and scaled a personal brand into a massive organization—all without losing control.Eventually, Alex launched his own venture, carrying those lessons with him. As the Founder & CEO of Path for Growth, he now offers community, coaching, and experiences for impact-driven leaders.In this episode, you’ll learn how to go from being an advisor working in your business to becoming the CEO who actually leads it—mastering delegation, building systems that run smoothly, and creating a business that thrives without your constant oversight.4 of the biggest insights from Alex…1.) The Artist’s Trap: Why Your Personality Isn’t a Business Model Most entrepreneurs start as the “artist” in their business—personally handling everything because they’re great at what they do. But Alex reveals why this approach is a trap. If your business depends entirely on your talent, energy, and personality, it’s not scalable. Alex shares how to escape the artist’s trap and become a true leader—one who builds a business that runs smoothly, even when you’re not in the room.2.) Healthy Accountability Drives GrowthAlex explains how to create a culture of feedback where team members feel empowered rather than criticized. Discover the system he uses to give feedback and measure team performance without hurting morale.3.) The 4-Steps to Operationalizing Your Business Alex walks through his 4-step process to make excellence predictable and repeatable: Standardize, Document, Evaluate, and Improve. Whether you’re running a team of 5 or 50, this framework will help you scale without chaos.4.) How Founders Can Delegate Their Unique Skills and TalentsMany founders struggle to delegate their strongest skills because those talents come naturally to them. But Alex shares how to break this barrier by identifying your core strengths, distilling them into clear, teachable processes, and empowering your team to replicate them. He reveals why your greatest strengths can become your greatest bottleneck if not properly transferred.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/117FOLLOW 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.

    116: Triad Member - $380M Gathered in 2024 – Inside SHP Financial’s Growth Strategy with Keith Ellis Jr. & Michelle Short
    May 14 2025
    Live from Triad’s Scale Summit in Atlanta, I got the opportunity to sit down with two Triad members who are driving SHP Financial’s incredible growth—founding partner Keith Ellis Jr. and Chief Operating Officer Michelle Short.In this behind-the-scenes conversation, we unpack how SHP went from a 4-person startup to a 55-person firm who gathered $380M of total assets in 2024, growing to $1.6B of AUM. You’ll hear how they scaled without burning out, built career tracks that turned interns into $80M producers, and created a culture-backed onboarding system that scales consistency, deepens trust, and reinforces what makes SHP different. 3 of the biggest insights from Keith and Michelle… #1.) How SHP Gathered $380M of Total Assets in 2024SHP didn’t grow by grinding, they grew by stepping back. Instead of meeting with every client, SHP’s founders focused on high-net-worth clients while their team of specialists handled planning, follow-up, and client management. The result? $380M of total assets without burnout or bottlenecks. #2.) The Onboarding System That Scales Consistency, Trust, and ReferralsEvery SHP hire starts with a Vision Session, a 1:1 with a partner, and a deep dive into the firm’s culture handbook. From “Shipmates” to Enneagram walls, everything is built to align the team and protect the client experience. That’s how SHP builds internal trust—and earns referrals without ever asking. #3.) SHP’s 3-Tier Client Model That Protects Founder TimeBy segmenting clients into three tiers, SHP ensures their founders only meet with $2.5M+ prospects—while newer advisors gain reps with clients under $1M. The result? More capacity, clearer career paths, and 4x the asset growth with half the meetings.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/116FREE 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?

  • 115: Solo - This Stoic Lesson Made Me a Better Leader with Brad Johnson

    115: Solo - This Stoic Lesson Made Me a Better Leader with Brad Johnson
    May 7 2025

    Setbacks aren’t a possibility, they’re a promise. Things will break. People will disappoint. Plans will unravel.

    Yet we act surprised, as if hardship wasn’t part of the deal.

    But what if the real problem isn’t the setback itself, it’s believing it wasn’t coming?

    In this solo episode, I share the single most important mindset shift I’ve made since becoming an entrepreneur—one that’s helped me lead through sleepless nights, personnel challenges, and the unpredictable highs and lows of building a business from the ground up.

    It all started with a passage from Ryan Holiday’s The Daily Stoic: “The glass is already broken.”

    That simple idea changed how I view problems. And more importantly, how I prepare for them.

    I’ll unpack what it means, how I’ve applied it in business and life, and how you can use it to build systems that keep you calm, clear, and confident—especially when things don’t go according to plan.

    3 of the biggest insights from Brad…

    1.) Setbacks aren’t optional, they’re inevitable. When things break, most leaders react with stress, blame, or panic. But those emotions disappear when you start planning for problems instead of wishing they won’t happen.

    2.) “The glass is already broken.” It’s a simple, powerful mindset shift. Accept the fall before it happens, and you won’t be rattled when it does.

    3.) Great leaders don’t avoid problems. They build systems to face them with calm, clarity, and confidence.
