“Busy” doesn’t equal productive. If you want to be effective, you know when you are creating value and when you are coasting. Bahnsen is brilliant.

Advisors do 50 small things to avoid one big thing said David Bahnsen. “The big things draw revenue” and everything else is just wasting your time. This is just brilliant.

Guys! Future Proof and ⁦@NuveenInv⁩ has cats and dogs to pet and hold. (PS you can’t bring them home or steal them … we asked)

It takes 12-15 proofs before someone selects an advisor. What else (beyond your website) are you using to tell your story? Awesome CMO Summit! Thanks @joesteuter @tinacpowell and Intenion.ly

@jasonpereira @MichaelKitces Always be branding

It never ceases to amaze me how committed @MichaelKitces to the uniform. Even in the direct south beach sunlight, he wont lose the jacket!

Morning AI tips from future proof to live by: Tinker Be deliberate Try it before you buy it (And don’t be overwhelmed by the blank box in the AI chatbot - ask it to ask you questions)

Peter Nolan says wealth managers will be the last thing replaced by AI … but what can you do with AI to help you work more effectively and give you more time with clients?

Good morning Future Proof! Good Morning Miami!

Why am I so passionate about video? Well, advisors that use video drive 53 times organic traffic and 56% more leads. That’s why we’re partnering with @Socialive and @FINNY to bring advisor video to life at Future Proof Citywide in Miami socialive.us/futureproof2026

@CultishCreative @mstafford @Panoptica_ai @EpsilonTheory F@ck it … I’m always in

Permission is never perfect. But it's always a part (if not the start) of the process. Angie Colee returns to JUST PRESS RECORD for a @acketyack @mstafford clip on when to say "f-it, I'm in" and why setting a 65% threshold can change your life. @Panoptica_ai @EpsilonTheory:

@JeffreyMFortune He was mvp of that game - hands down

Once again Jacob Dar giving Seton Hall great minutes off the bench. Nothing major on the stat sheet, just great defense and intangibles.

@JonRothstein Didn’t Seton Hall beat Nova at Nova in 2020?

Seton Hall has not beaten Villanova on The Main Line since Feb. 26th, 1994. That's 11,666 days ago! The Pirates will try and reverse the trend tonight at Finneran Pavilion.

@AdamZagoria @SetonHallMBB @UConnMBB Resale market is crazy. But I’ll be in the arena

I'm told the lower bowl at The Rock is not sold out for tonight's Top-25 matchup between No. 25 @SetonHallMBB and No. 3 @UConnMBB

@jasonpereira @TorontoStar I’m here for pear-shaped pop culture references 24/7

@jasonpereira @TorontoStar I’m so excited I’m so excited! I’m so …. Scared

@NJHoopsHaven @AsburyParkPress McDermott goes zone for the last possession and after dominating the boards all day, leaves them short handed under the rim against Hines and Rivera. Btw Rivera and Parker were the unsung heroes today

Final score from an uproarious Rock: Seton Hall 56, Creighton 54 The demon has been slayed -- and the pride of Plainfield Najai Hines plunged the dagger. 5 takeaways, much more coming: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

There is pride and then there is seeing someone you had the pleasure to coach making such amazing strides! Congratulations @McGrath31 I can’t express you proud I am! Hope you are using even an iota of what we discussed along the way!

Do everything you can to make sure this freshman class sticks around.

@NJHoopsHaven Solid student section

Seton Hall starters: Clark, Staton-McCray, Fisher, Williams, Payne. Rutgers starters: Francis, Zrno, Grant, Badalau, Ogbole. Notable shakeup there. Jamichael Davis will come off the bench.

Ten things I believe about money: 1. Money is emotional long before it is mathematical. 2. The biggest risk to your wealth (in good markets and bad) is you. 3. Anxiety adjusted returns matter more than absolute returns. 4. Good advice is not about prediction. It is about preparation. 5. Money without meaning will never feel like wealth. 6. Most financial mistakes are applying an old story to a new problem. 7. Your "normal" with money isn't; you only learn how weird you are as you mix it up with other people and see more of the world. 8. Environment influences financial behavior far more than willpower. 9. Advisors do their deepest work in the realm of humanity, not finance. 10. Money tends to follow identity, not the other way around. Fix yourself and you'll fix your money.
