    What’s Really Holding Back Your Business?

    In this conversation, Gino Barbaro explores the behavioral side of business coaching—an area he believes is often ignored. While most coaching programs focus on strategies, systems, and models, Gino argues that real success is driven by the beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns operating beneath the surface. Drawing from his experience in both the restaurant and real estate industries, he reflects on how early family influences and childhood experiences shaped his mindset around money and risk. Gino emphasizes the importance of combining practical business strategy with deep behavioral awareness, advocating for a more holistic approach that addresses both execution and mindset to create lasting growth and meaningful success.

    Navigating the World of Alternative Finance with Benjamin D. Summers

    Takeaways:   Shadow banking encompasses all finance outside of traditional deposit banking. The perception of safety in banking is often misleading. Understanding risk-adjusted returns is crucial for investment success. Real estate can serve as an effective hedge against inflation. Long-term fixed-rate debt can mitigate market volatility. Investors should focus on capital structure to maximize returns. Diversification in asset management is often a flawed strategy. Effective marketing requires understanding the psychology of the target audience. Sales processes should focus on addressing customer frustrations.
