Über diesen Titel

"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

    129: Marcus Sheridan - The Fastest Way to Build Trust & Turn Prospects into Clients
    Aug 13 2025
    What if 80% of new clients were ready to work with you before they ever met you?That’s the reality Marcus Sheridan created when the 2008 recession almost bankrupted his pool business. The crisis forced him to rethink his marketing strategy–a shift that transformed his struggling company into the most visited swimming pool website in the world. How? By answering every customer question, even the uncomfortable ones, before the sales meeting ever happened.In this episode, Marcus reveals how financial advisors can apply the same approach to build unbreakable trust, shorten sales lead cycles, and create an overflowing pipeline of clients who already feel like they know, like, and trust you.We dig into the shocking amount of time that consumers spend researching products and services ahead of time, and the answers that advisors dread providing. We also discuss how advisors can leverage video, especially YouTube, to establish themselves as trusted experts in their industry, as well as the risks of being left behind and rendered obsolete by failing to adapt to AI, new technology, and the trust-building power of video.3 of the biggest insights from Marcus Sheridan…#1.) The "Big 5" Sales Topics That Clients Search Before They Hire YouMarcus breaks down the five topics every client wants to know about: cost, problems, comparisons, reviews, and "best of" lists. Bottom line: Advisors who address these topics upfront, win.#2.) How to Build Trust Before They Ever Shake Your HandWhen done right, your marketing becomes the sales process. Marcus proves his point by how clients opened the door saying, “Marcus from the pool video is here!”#3.) Why Video Content Is Your New Sales FunnelGoogle is sending less traffic to websites, thanks to AI. But YouTube traffic is up. Marcus shares how AI and buyer behavior are shifting and why your YouTube channel will soon be more important than your website.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/129FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copies of Marcus' book, "They Ask, You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing, and Today's Digital Consumer" [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 "129" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

    128: Triad Member - From Football to Finance: Serving Retirees by Protecting their Blind Sides with Terence Brown
    Aug 6 2025
    From protecting quarterbacks to protecting retirements, Triad Member, Terence Brown never stopped being a left tackle.After a career playing Division I football at BYU and a stint in the pros, he transitioned into financial services and brought his team-first mindset with him. Today, he leads Left Tackle Advisors—a fast-growing planning firm where protecting people’s blind sides isn’t just a tagline, it’s deeply embedded in the culture.In this episode, Terence shares how he evolved from high-volume product sales to a planning-first model. He doesn’t serve as many people, but the relationships got deeper, the work got better, and the clients got bigger.He unpacks how that transition fueled growth from $5M to $33M in annual new assets, how intentional language transformed his team’s culture, and why the advisors who win long-term will be the ones who build real relationships—not just retirement plans.3 of the biggest insights from Terence…#1.) Why Language Matters More Than You ThinkTerence calls his clients “teammates”— and that one change has transformed the culture of his firm. His team doesn’t “serve clients”; they protect their teammates. That small shift in language has created deeper connection, more ownership, and a community retirees actually want to be part of.#2.) Feedback Is a Superpower (If You Can Get Over Your Ego)Every athlete watches game film to improve. Terence brings that same philosophy into his business—recording every seminar, prompting AI to coach him, and treating every piece of feedback like a gift. His secret? Separating the message from the messenger so growth doesn’t get blocked by ego.#3.) Solve Bigger Problems, Serve at a Deeper LevelBy shifting from a product-driven model to holistic planning, Terrence increased his average client AUM to over $700K — a significant jump from the smaller transactional accounts he started with. Fewer clients. Bigger impact. Stronger relationships. That’s how he’s building a firm and a legacy that lasts.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/128FREE 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?

    127: Keith Ferrazzi - Never Lead Alone: What Top Advisors Do to Build High-Performing Teams
    Jul 30 2025
    So, you’ve built a team… but you’re still the one putting out fires, making all the decisions, and carrying the whole business on your back.That’s because most leadership models are built top-down. The founder makes the calls. The team waits for direction. And over time, the business becomes more dependent on you—not less.Keith Ferrazzi has spent two decades helping leaders break out of that trap. After coaching thousands of teams and running 3,000+ diagnostics, he found that leadership alone isn’t enough. The highest-performing organizations operate through teamship—a shift from hierarchy to shared ownership, where teams push each other higher and drive results together.You might recognize Keith from his bestselling books like Never Eat Alone or Leading Without Authority. His latest book, Never Lead Alone, breaks down the 10 key shifts that help teams lead together, instead of leaning on one person to carry the load.In this episode, we get into what those shifts look like in real life. From peer-to-peer coaching to energy checks to open feedback loops, Keith shares the simple practices that help your team show up, take ownership, and lead alongside you—not behind you.3 of the biggest insights from Keith…#1.) The Peer Coaching Framework That Unlocked 50% Growth at MerrillKeith’s 5-5-5 peer-to-peer coaching model helped Merrill Lynch advisors boost net new accounts by 50%—not through top-down management, but by creating safe, structured peer groups that crowdsource solutions and accelerate breakthroughs. It’s a repeatable system any advisory team can implement to grow faster and smarter.#2.) Stop Leading Alone—Start Co-ElevatingKeith’s newest book, Never Lead Alone, flips traditional leadership on its head. Instead of top-down command, he shows how elite teams grow faster when they hold each other accountable, run energy checks, and give honest feedback without fear. This is how teams co-elevate—and outperform.#3.) Why AI Will Replace Advisors Who Don’t EvolveKeith doesn’t sugarcoat it—AI is coming for the average advisor. But for those willing to lean in, it’s a multiplier. Learn how to become a “black belt” in AI, build smarter communities, and use technology to deepen—not replace—your human relationships.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/127FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copies of Keith’s book, "Never Eat Alone" AND "Never Lead Alone" [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 "127" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.
