The Wealth Consigliere

  I have shared with my coworkers that a checkbook makes recruiting easier. Money is too powerful. We worry if  we are being paid what we are worth. The discussion is circular. Our business has one opinion and it is different than ours. Can we find a common ground?  If we can that conclusion reveals a lot.  Our country still has a problem with diversity. The problem manifests itself with women and minorities. We need to address and solve this issue. John Stewart’s TV recent episode can help.  People can fool us with their charisma. We need to do further questing before we commit. Charisma is seductive. We can fall for its power like we did for WeWork.  Money is powerful.  It works it’s spell on me and Wall Street.  Be careful out there. My insecurities say money made me a great recruiter. The brand helped too.  

We are all motivated by different items. Scientists are motivated by discovery. Some people are motivated by money. Unfortunately the two pursuits are not paid the same. We need to shift our focus to pay inequality in this area. Capitalism makes vocation allocation mistakes. Woman and teachers remain underpaid.  The British have great advice. We need to mind the gap when riding the subway and working. Each mistake can cost us our life and cause our company to fail. We need to mind the capitalism gap too. My morning song from TikTok sets a positive tone for my day. My favorite group is The Carpenters. Love and miss Karen and her amazing voice. No shame here.   We continue to examine the veracity of our long held beliefs.  The new generation questions us and we should listen.

Fresh ideas are intriguing. Their track record of success needs to be examined. The new ideas catch our attention, but further research needs to be done.  Our monthly list of podcasts has some good ideas.  Wild Things still captures my attention.  https://www.audible.com/pd/Podcast/B08K561HWQ We all have many unsung heroes.  https://hiddenbrain.org/myunsunghero/ Michael Lewis has done it again. His 5 podcasts entitled Other People’s Money nails the wealth advisory business.  https://www.pushkin.fm/show/against-the-rules-with-michael-lewis/ I’m always searching for new ideas. Enjoy these podcasts. Hope you find some new ideas 💡 

My New York manager required he meet the recruit’s Spouse before he finalized a job offer.  The secret weapon of any business is the spouse. The spouse will honestly evaluate the success of the enterprise and provide  support to the leader. The spouse is the leader and their opinions matter and are rooted in love. This dynamic will help win Ukraine's  war.  Bravery is something we try and teach our children. It is easier said than done and ultimately can cost us our life. This matters when we are starting big projects. While it can feel like life and death. Our approach needs to take that reality into consideration. Our bravery can help us achieve difficult tasks.  Elections have reminded us of the effectiveness of endorsements. I do not vote based off an endorsement. They might make good commercials but their half-life is short for me.  Choose your spouse well. It’s a lasting relationship.  Happy Birthday Jr
