    Wendy S. Meadows is a seasoned family law attorney, former litigator, certified life Coach and mediator. She is also the author of the best-selling book, Sparkle & GRIT, a framework that helps high-achieving women break free from burnout and live on Purpose.  Today, Wendy helps women who’ve “checked all the boxes” but still feel stuck. She blends practical strategies with a compassionate mindset to help them reboot their habits, re-ignite their purpose, and build lives that actually fit. She also works closely with lawyers— especially those ready to go solo or restructure their practices—offering strategic coaching, systems consulting, and speaking engagements for law firms looking to prevent burnout, increase retention, and foster sustainable success.  In this episode, Leonard and Wendy Meadows discuss: Mediation can often produce similar outcomes to litigation, but with less cost, stress, and timeThe most common financial mistakes people make when dividing assets during divorceWhy financial advisors are essential in showing whether a divorce settlement is actually sustainableHow identity loss and emotional stress impact professionals during major life transitionsThe warning signs of burnout and practical ways to recover from it Key Takeaways:  Divorce is often the largest financial transaction a person will experience in their lifetime. Without careful planning and professional guidance, simple decisions about assets, retirement accounts, or housing can create long-term financial consequences.Many couples believe they can save money by managing the divorce process themselves. In reality, DIY financial decisions, such as improperly liquidating retirement accounts, can trigger unnecessary taxes or penalties.Mediation can help couples resolve disputes faster and with less cost and friction than traditional litigation, even when the final buckets of division may look similar.Financial advisors play an essential role in helping divorcing clients understand long-term outcomes. Detailed projections and planning tools can reveal whether a settlement is truly sustainable for both parties.Burnout is a normal part of high-pressure careers, but recognizing the warning signs early makes recovery easier. Simple practices like journaling, movement, and structured daily planning can restore clarity and momentum.  “I have a baseline belief that everyone will be okay and everyone has the tools to be okay.” - Wendy Meadows Connect with Wendy Meadows: Website: https://www.sparkleandgrit.com/ & https://wendysmeadows.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-sare-meadows-ba80285/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100072318214998  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendy_s_meadows/  Grab Wendy’s free sparkle & GRIT Playbook: https://www.sparkleandgrit.com/playbook  Connect with Leonard Raskin: Website: https://www.raskinglobal.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonardraskin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaskinGlobal  Email: lraskin@raskinglobal.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

For more than 30 years, Todd has been at the forefront of financial software development and professional training and is widely regarded as an industry expert in financial mathematics and modeling. He has trained thousands of financial professionals to use software and analytical tools more effectively in building strategies for their clients. Todd is also the author of the upcoming book Conscious Calculations, which explores the deeper mathematics behind financial decision-making and encourages advisors to think more intentionally about money, risk, and long-term stewardship.  In this episode, Leonard and Todd Langford discuss: Why financial planning requires more than simply chasing higher rates of returnThe importance of understanding the time value of money in financial decisionsHow opportunity cost shapes long-term wealth outcomesWhy access to cash and liquidity can protect against financial shocksThe difference between “black swan” and “gray swan” events and how to prepare for them Key Takeaways:  Financial math is essential, but it cannot be the only factor guiding decisions. Advisors must combine accurate calculations with real-world context, risk management, and a deep understanding of client goals.Opportunity cost is one of the most overlooked forces in personal finance. Every dollar spent or redirected represents future compounded growth that may never materialize.Liquidity provides flexibility during uncertain times. Having access to cash can allow individuals to weather downturns, avoid forced selling, and even capitalize on opportunities when markets decline.Financial planning must consider both sides of the mountain. Advisors often focus on accumulation, but the real goal is sustainable income and cash flow during retirement.Technology can calculate outcomes, but it cannot understand people. Advisors must interpret financial math through the lens of client goals, risk tolerance, and life circumstances.  “The ability to save is way more important than chasing a rate of return.” - Todd Langford Connect with Todd Langford: Website: http://www.truthconcepts.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/truthconceptssoftware/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/todd.langford.58/  Connect with Leonard Raskin: Website: https://www.raskinglobal.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonardraskin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaskinGlobal  Email: lraskin@raskinglobal.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Leaders who embrace failure grow stronger.Organizational excellence requires clarity. If performance standards and responsibilities are not clearly defined, people cannot achieve excellence.CEOs need community. Peer advisory groups provide perspective, accountability, and practical advice that can save companies significant time and money.Mental health impacts every workplace. Leaders must recognize that personal and professional challenges are interconnected.AI will not replace leaders, but leaders who understand how to leverage AI will outperform those who ignore it.  “Only through failure will you become a success.” - Douglas Strouse Connect with Douglas Strouse: Website: http://Ceoclubofbaltimore.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-a-strouse-ph-d-63a17a/  Email: doug@ceoclubofbaltimore.com  Phone: 410-218-9777 Connect with Leonard Raskin: Website: https://www.raskinglobal.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonardraskin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaskinGlobal  Email: lraskin@raskinglobal.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Even if someone doesn’t read it immediately, your authority remains visible and accessible long after the initial conversation.  “Never write a book.

    Jason Duncan: Escaping the Hero Syndrome and Creating True Business Freedom

    Jason Duncan, known as “America’s Exit Coach,” is the bestselling author of Exit Without Exiting and the creator of the proprietary XOS™ Method, which helps entrepreneurs build businesses that thrive without owner dependence. After losing his teaching job in 2010, Jason built a multimillion-dollar company only to discover it was unsellable—an experience that became the catalyst for his life’s work of helping founders transition from Owner-Operators to Owner-Investors. A TEDx speaker and host of The Root of All Success podcast, his companies have been recognized on the Inc. 5000 and Entrepreneur 360 lists, and his insights have been featured in Inc. and Entrepreneur. Based in Nashville, Jason lives the #ExitLifestyle he teaches, enjoying true freedom with his family while his businesses run and grow without him. In this episode, Leonard and Jason Duncan discuss: Why owner-dependent businesses destroy freedom, value, and exit optionsThe “hero syndrome” and how it keeps entrepreneurs trapped inside their companiesWhy delegation, trust, and discipline are the real barriers to growthThe XOS Method and the seven stages of exiting without exitingIdentity, purpose, and mindset challenges business owners face after stepping away Key Takeaways:  Starting a freedom business often leads to the opposite outcome when the owner becomes the system instead of building one.Any part of a business that relies on the owner automatically reduces its value in the eyes of buyers, lenders, and investors.Delegation fails not because people are incapable, but because leaders are unwilling to let others learn through failure.Viewing your company through a buyer’s lens changes how you hire, operate, scale, and plan for the future.True wealth isn’t about selling a business. It’s about having the choice to sell, stay, or step away entirely.  “Any system in a business that relies on the owner will devalue the company.” - Jason Duncan Connect with Jason Duncan: Website: https://www.therealjasonduncan.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/therealjasonduncan/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealjasonduncan  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJasonDuncan   Free Webinar: https://exiter.club/  Connect with Leonard Raskin: Website: https://www.raskinglobal.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonardraskin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaskinGlobal  Email: lraskin@raskinglobal.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

With more than twenty years of capital markets experience, his expertise spans investing, corporate development, financial modeling, investment research, and investment banking, allowing him to bring a disciplined yet forward-looking approach to value creation. Patrick grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, and currently lives in Eden Prairie with his wife, Anne, and their three children. In this episode, Leonard and Patrick discuss: How Patrick’s early fascination with pricing and value shaped his career in valuation and investingWhy future vision, not historical performance, is the biggest driver of business valueHow Hill Capital fills the “capital gap” between bank financing and venture capitalWhy community, advisors, and peer networks are critical to entrepreneurial successHow advisors can help business owners unlock underrecognized levers of long-term value Key Takeaways:  Business value is created by what a company can become, not simply by what it has already done.Vision-driven entrepreneurs unlock greater valuation by clearly articulating where their product or service fits in the future market.Capital is not just about cost; it’s about structure, expectations, and alignment with long-term goals.Predatory lending options can quietly destroy businesses through hidden fees and cash-flow strain.Strong advisory communities and peer networks often make the difference during a company’s most difficult moments. “The breakout is the opportunity for someone to get paid of what's going to happen in the future versus what has happened in the past.” - Patrick Donohue Connect with Patrick Donohue: Website: https://www.hillcapitalcorp.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickedonohue/  Additional Resource: https://www.breakoutvaluation.com/ Book: Breakout Valuation Email: patrick@hillcapitalcorp.com   Connect with Leonard Raskin: Website: https://www.raskinglobal.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonardraskin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaskinGlobal  Email: lraskin@raskinglobal.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
