  Financial Planning Ignores 25% of Adults | Scott Barnes, CFP, Childfree Wealth | JTL 154

  Jul 23, 202645 min

  Scott Barnes spent 25 years inside traditional financial planning before he realized the entire model was built on one assumption: that you will have children, and that the point of building wealth is to hand it over. Roughly 25% of US adults are childfree. There is no chapter in the financial planning curriculum for them. Not a module, not a paragraph. Scott is a advisor at Childfree Insights, working exclusively with childfree clients across all 50 states. He joins Wayne to unpack what actually changes when nobody is waiting at the end of the handover, and why it is a mechanical difference rather than a sensitivity one. In this episode: -Childfree vs childless, and why the planning conversation is different -The missing curriculum: why advisor training has nothing on clients without children -Why 80% of Childfree Wealth clients had never worked with an advisor before -Die with zero, and giving while you are alive instead of leaving it behind -The assets under management problem nobody talks about-Retiring before 60, the taxable brokerage bridge, Rule of 55 and 72(t) -Why power of attorney matters more than a will if you are childfree -The mistake of naming your own parents on your documents-Solo agers, long term care and the professional fiduciary -Pets, pet trusts and care documents-The gardener and the rose for childfree couples -Legacy as something you build today, not after you are gone If this made you rethink what legacy means, share it with one person who needs to hear it.

  Episode #150

  He Sold One T-Shirt. Built an Empire. | Rick Lowe, Founder of Brands In Limited | JTL 152

  May 26, 202651 min

  Rick Lowe showed up to Portobello Market in 2003 with a suitcase full of Space Invaders T-shirts and spent nine hours in the cold London rain trying to sell them. He sold one. Most people would have gone home. Rick looked at that single sale and thought: "Good. Now I just need to find more people." That reframe is the foundation of everything he's built since. Today, Rick's company ships hundreds of thousands of units a year under licensing deals with Disney, Warner Brothers, Netflix, The Rolling Stones, Mötley Crüe, and some of the most recognizable brands in entertainment. He didn't inherit it. He didn't get a lucky break. He failed his way there, one no at a time - and in this conversation, he breaks down exactly how. We get into why failure is a tool, not a setback. Why your business is a vehicle, not the destination. Why the only person you're actually competing with is yourself. And what legacy really looks like when you're still in the middle of building it. This is one of the most honest conversations I've had on this show. Rick holds nothing back. What we cover: How he went from $300 in his pocket in Miami to global licensing deals. Why getting made redundant was the best thing that ever happened to him. The two things that will make or break any entrepreneur: people and finance. How to find and seize the right opportunities. Why failure is a motivational tool, not a stop sign. What legacy means when you're still in the middle of building it.
