Our team of wealth advisors shares insights on diversification strategies, tax efficiency considerations, and the importance of maintaining perspective during market volatility.

    We discuss how proper allocation across different investment vehicles - from traditional stocks and bonds to private equity opportunities - can help create a resilient portfolio aligned with your time horizon. The conversation emphasizes understanding what you own and why you own it, drawing inspiration from successful long-term investors.

    This is a great discussion of practical approaches to structuring your growth investments and strategies for maintaining conviction through market cycles.

  • Smart tax planning starts with understanding your current position and identifying opportunities that match your situation.

    In this episode, Scott Ford and team members Jeff Socha - CEO & Founder, Socha Capital Wealth Strategies, Ashley Sowers - Partner, Wealth Advisor, Brian Staples - Wealth Advisor, and John Saunders - Partner, Wealth Advisor, break down tax planning approaches across three asset tiers: $500k-2M, $2M-10M, and $10M+. We explore foundational concepts like qualified plans and itemized deductions while highlighting business-owner-specific strategies.

    The discussion reveals how proactive planning early in the year opens up more options compared to reactive December moves. The team shares real examples of coordination between business structure, retirement accounts, and charitable giving that can help create tax efficiency without unnecessary complexity.

    The conversation reinforces that effective tax planning isn't about chasing exotic strategies or quick fixes. It's about methodically reviewing options, understanding which ones align with your goals, and implementing them consistently over time. As one team member notes, "Small hinges swing big doors."

    Highlights:

    How qualified plans and cash value life insurance work together as complementary planning toolsThe tax implications of the 2025 sunset provisions and what that means for planning windowsUsing tax-advantaged accounts - understanding the differences between tax-deferred, taxable and tax-free optionsBusiness entity selection impacts - comparing structures like S-Corps, partnerships and C-Corps for tax treatmentIncome shifting strategies for business owners, including legitimate ways to engage family members in business operationsThe value of proactive planning versus reactive December tax moves, including the "Augusta Rule" for business owners

  • This week, we chat with Travis Steffens, a man whose life reads like an adventure novel. In our chat, we uncovered the fascinating synergy between breathwork and capitalism that's reshaping our understanding of wealth. From the rugged terrains of a Colorado ranch to the zenith of real estate success, Travis's journey through the creation of the Breath Source app illuminates the path to financial clarity and simplicity.
    In the conversation, we dive into three main subjects:

    The relationship between health and wealthRevolutionary ways we can approach societal challenges like homelessness, with a twist on how environment and psychology intertwine to affect change at a cellular level. The relationship between inspiring a sense of significance and belonging and societal transformation.


    Be prepared to have your thoughts provoked and your vision for a wealthier life—inside and out—expanded far beyond the bank account.

    More about our guest, Travis Steffens:
    Travis Steffens' journey began on a Colorado ranch, shaping his commitment to healing. His path led through real estate and a deep connection with the forgotten. Transforming lives in slum-lord areas, he hired and rehabilitated the homeless, inspired by teachings from Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Bruce Lipton.

    Breathwork emerged as a powerful tool. Teaching it to his team during renovations, Travis saw its impact and created The Breath Source app. Within three years, it became the first Breathwork Marketplace app, uniting 20,000 users globally with 56 leading Breath Masters.

    Now, The Breath Source isn't just an app; it's a community revolution, offering exclusive content and a new approach to health and wellness. Travis's journey stands as a testament to compassion, innovation, and the transformative power of the human breath, inspiring a Conscious Capitalist difference at the cellular level and beyond.
