    Clarity, Confidence & Cash Flow: Building a Life You Don’t Have to Retire From

    What if “wealth” wasn’t about hitting some magic number in your bank account… but instead about clarity, cash flow, and confidence to live a life you never have to retire from? That’s exactly what this week’s guest, Brian Skrobonja, has helped thousands of high-net-worth entrepreneurs and business owners figure out over the last 30 years. Brian is a nationally recognized wealth advisor, a Forbes Top 10 podcast host, and the creator of the WealthSync Process—a system that goes way beyond rates of return to align your money with your life’s bigger purpose. We dive deep into: Why most people define “wealth” the wrong wayHow to think about passive income beyond real estate or investmentsThe psychology of purpose after a business sale or big transitionThe tax blind spots that cost founders millions (and how to avoid them)If you’re an entrepreneur who’s built wealth, sold a business, or are staring down a transition—you cannot afford to miss this conversation. KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS: Wealth Isn’t a Number — It’s Purpose-Driven Most people chase net worth goals… but often end up miserable. Brian reframes wealth as “funding your purpose,” not just padding your account. Cash Flow is King Assets alone don’t equal freedom. Everything should be measured against one question: “How does this affect cash flow?” The Myth of Retirement You can retire from a job—but you don’t want to retire from life. Align your money with activities, goals, and impact that keep you engaged and alive. Tax Blind Spots that Burn Millions Business exits, 401Ks, and charitable giving are often mishandled. The difference between structuring a deal before or after signing could be millions saved. The WealthSync Process Brian’s proprietary system ties together lifestyle goals, business exits, philanthropy, tax planning, and legacy so your money actually funds your life. TIME STAMPS: [00:00:00] Introduction – Why “clarity, confidence & cash flow” matter more than chasing returns.[00:03:10] The #1 money mistake most couples and founders make.[00:05:51] Brian’s backstory: from Croatian family work ethic to building a financial legacy.[00:08:56] The mindset shift from working harder → building passive income.[00:10:38] Introducing the WealthSync Process: aligning money with purpose.[00:14:07] Why $10M net worth can still leave people miserable.[00:16:36] Helping founders after business exits: the “Monday after the sale” question.[00:23:58] CPA blind spots, charitable strategies, and avoiding tax disasters.[00:29:27] Assets to Income: how to make your money actually work for you.[00:31:27] Everything comes back to cash flow.[00:32:33] Build a life you don’t have to retire from. In this episode, I sit down with nationally recognized wealth advisor Brian Skrobonja to break down why the traditional wealth path is broken, how passive income actually works, and why wealth isn’t a number—it’s about clarity, confidence, and cash flow. If you’re planning a business exit, sitting on a tax-deferred fortune, or just want to create reliable cash flow—you need this conversation.

    How to (Legally) Unlock $10K–$50K of Tax-Free Income Every Year

    What if I told you there’s a way to pull $10,000–$50,000 of tax-free money out of your business every year—without working harder, changing your business model, or hiring a single new person? Sounds crazy, right? But it’s been hiding in plain sight inside the IRS code for over 50 years. In this week’s episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with my friend Nathaniel Ely (co-founder of TheAugustaRule.com) to break down how the Augusta Rule works, why most business owners are leaving serious money on the table, and how to make sure you don’t miss out. I’ll also share how I personally got a $40,000 tax-free check this year—and why I kicked myself when I realized I had missed out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in past years. KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS: The Augusta Rule, Explained Simply A 14-day tax loophole that allows business owners to rent their residence(s) to their business, tax-free. Why Most CPAs Get It Wrong 80–90% of deductions fail because of sloppy documentation. If it’s not written down, it doesn’t exist. Multiple Homes = Multiple Opportunities Your vacation home, second home, or even your RV may qualify. The IRS defines “residence” more broadly than you think. Real Case Studies From a modest ranch in Ohio ($6,700 in savings) to multi-home entrepreneurs pulling in over $100K tax-free every year. The 10 Conditions for Compliance We cover the step-by-step checklist to keep everything bulletproof—and why this strategy only works if you follow the rules. Done-For-You Solutions Nathaniel’s team built software + services to make compliance effortless. They’re on a mission to put $1B back into entrepreneurs’ pockets by 2030. TIME STAMPS: [00:00:00] What Is the Augusta Rule?Nathaniel explains how business owners can rent their home to their own company—14 days tax-free. [00:01:56] My $40K Check (and $360K Mistake)Mike shares his personal experience of saving—and losing—hundreds of thousands by not applying the rule earlier. [00:04:14] Why It’s Called the Augusta RuleThe Masters golf tournament origins and how wealthy homeowners lobbied Congress to add this provision to the code. [00:06:42] From Tax Bills to Tax BreakthroughsNathaniel’s personal journey of learning, failing, and finally systemizing the Augusta Rule. [00:12:40] Case Study: The “Normie Home” in OhioHow an average homeowner saves ~$6,700 annually with zero behavior change. [00:16:21] Multiple Homes, Big ReturnsHow vacation homes, rentals, and even RVs qualify under the IRS definition of “residence.” [00:18:37] Case Study: $126K in Tax-Free RentThree beach houses in Mexico equal $46K in real tax savings. [00:20:00] Case Study: $224K Rent = $118K Cash BackA California entrepreneur uses three properties to generate six-figure tax-free income. [00:22:46] The 10 Conditions for ComplianceFrom rental agreements to meeting length, the checklist that makes it all audit-proof. [00:32:11] How Easy Is It Really?Why Nathaniel’s platform + EA support can make this a 5-minute-per-meeting task. [00:38:28] Free Tools & ResourcesThe Augusta Rule calculator, deduction guide, and masterclass—all available at TheAugustaRule.com/save. If you hate writing checks to the IRS, this is one of the biggest “money on the sidewalk” opportunities I’ve ever covered on this show. If you want to see how much money you’re leaving on the table, head over to TheAugustaRule.com/save – you’ll get the free calculator, deduction guide, and tools to estimate your tax-free savings – and you can even book a free consultation with an Augusta Rule specialist.

    Remember when Starbucks was a third place – not a sugar factory? In this new episode of Capability Amplifier, Dan Sullivan and I talk deeply on a topic every entrepreneur eventually faces: "How do I scale without degrading your product, brand, and soul?" We use Starbucks as a live case study to explore when and how companies lose their magic – and what founders can do to preserve their relevance, creativity, and quality… even as they grow. We also reveal a powerful model every entrepreneur should consider... You’re not running one business, you’re running two: Your R&D Brand: The original soul, essence, and innovation engine.Your Multiplier Brand: The scalable, distributable version that brings your magic to the world (without breaking it).If you’ve ever feared your company is growing too fast, losing its spark, or becoming a commodity – this episode will show you how to course-correct while expanding even bigger. We even roleplay a conversation with Howard Schultz to bring back the barista handshake.

The Power of the Skunkworks How to create an internal “heritage lab” that keeps your creative edge alive while the rest of the company scales.

[00:38:13] Dan’s Thought-Provoking Close “Look at tomorrow like it’s already yesterday. Are you proud of what you did?” If you want to scale with integrity – and keep the thing that made you successful in the first place – don’t miss this episode.

    Escaping the Growth Trap - with Michael Walsh

    What if working harder is exactly why your business feels stuck? This week, I’m sitting down with Michael Walsh — a 30-year veteran who’s helped hundreds of founders scale service businesses past the invisible walls that trap 98% of owners below $5 million… and keep 99% from ever reaching $10–20 million. He calls them danger zones — predictable trapdoors that snare even the smartest owners. If you’ve ever wondered why more sales doesn’t fix your profit problem… why great people leave… or why your “well-oiled machine” feels more like a mess of people problems — this is for you. Inside this episode, you’ll learn exactly why traditional management and “systems thinking” break down — and how to design an intelligent ecosystem instead. KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS The 96% Trap: Why 96% of businesses stall at $1M–$5M — and how to break through with a simple shift in how you see your people, not just your systems. The Hidden “Danger Zones”: How to recognize — and navigate — the invisible walls at $2M, $5M, $10M, and beyond… before they kill your momentum. The Well-Oiled Machine Lie: Why treating your company like a “machine” turns your people into cogs (and why it backfires). Build an Intelligent Ecosystem: How to create a culture where your best people stay, grow, and solve problems faster than you ever could alone. Freedom by Design: Michael’s Freedom Framework for service businesses — the same approach that helped founders triple revenue, exit for millions, and actually enjoy running their business again. The First Step to Escape Burnout: How to know if you’re in a danger zone right now — and the exact first step to get unstuck. TIME STAMPS [00:00:00] The Growth TrapWhy “just work harder” stops working — and what most owners get wrong about scaling. [00:03:05] Meet Michael Walsh30+ years, 3 bestselling books, and hundreds of companies rescued from invisible ceilings. [00:05:53] The Real People ProblemWhy process-based consulting fails — and what’s really holding your team back. [00:09:54] Danger Zones DefinedThe predictable crisis points at $1M, $2M, $5M, $10M, and the chasm at $12–$20M. [00:13:06] The Compound ProblemHow people + structures multiply complexity — and the hidden cost of “near miss” hires. [00:19:00] Well-Oiled Machine vs. Intelligent EcosystemWhy the industrial model kills creativity — and what real knowledge work needs now. [00:27:04] The Four Human DriversSurvive, thrive, connect, adapt — how to design a business humans want to be part of. [00:38:37] The Freedom FrameworkMichael’s process for tying growth and culture together — so people grow as the company grows. [00:46:14] How to Get UnstuckQuestions every founder should ask to know if they have the right people and leaders. [00:50:31] Your Next StepWhere to get Michael’s book, start a conversation, and design your path to freedom. If you’re ready to break through the “invisible ceiling” — without losing your freedom, your people, or your sanity — this episode is a must-listen.
