Resources: Visit Bob’s Website Connect with Bob via email at bob@franchisewithbob.com Takeaways: Franchising can be a viable way to build wealth. Bob Bernotas has over 40 years of experience in franchising. A franchise is a system of doing business, often with significant support. Transitioning from franchise owner to consultant can be rewarding. Semi-passive franchises require managing the manager and KPIs. Exit strategies are crucial in franchising for long-term success. Franchises can build equity faster than real estate investments. Not all franchises are created equal; careful selection is key. Understanding the market and trends is essential for franchise success. Learning from failures is as important as celebrating successes. Hollywood Tans didn’t pan out as expected for Bob. Timing is critical in franchising; find brands at the right growth stage. Many candidates are in W-2 jobs while exploring franchises. Semi-passive brands can allow for a smoother transition from W-2 jobs. Financing options include SBA loans and 401k rollovers. Franchising can be a high-paying dividend stock with growth potential. Franchise success relies on a partnership mentality between franchisor and franchisee. Health and wellness franchises are becoming increasingly popular. Private equity is rapidly acquiring franchise companies. Research and seek advice from experienced franchise consultants.   Connect with Will Hoffman:  Hoffman Wealth Management (724) 522-5411 will@hoffmanwealth.com LinkedIn: Will Hoffman  Facebook: Hoffman Wealth Management  YouTube: Hoffman Wealth Management   Disclosure: Bob Bernotas and Franchise with Bob are not affiliated with Hoffman Wealth Management or Private Advisor Group

    How High Earners Fix Money Scripts & Build Real Wealth | Yohance Harrison

    Summary: In this episode of Wealth on the Move, host Will Hoffman welcomes Yohance Harrison, founder and CEO of Money Script Wealth Management and host of the Only Human Podcast. Yohance shares his personal journey from facing childhood financial scarcity to building a specialized wealth management practice focused on high-burnout emergency room physicians. Together, they explore the psychological and behavioral aspects of money management, examining how childhood experiences and ingrained “money scripts” influence financial decision-making into adulthood. Yohance breaks down the unique financial traps facing high earners, the shift from traditional pensions to individual 401(k) responsibility, and the critical gap in modern financial literacy education. Finally, he outlines actionable behavioral exercises—including aligning personal expenses with top core values—to help listeners rewrite their relationship with money, and highlights his contribution to the new book Even More Than Money. Resources: Will Hoffman on The Only Human Podcast Link to Even More Than Money Connect with Yohance on Linkedin Follow The Money Script on Instagram Follow The Money Script on X Takeaways: Yohance Harrison founded Money Script Wealth Management to focus specifically on ER physicians, a demographic with high burnout rates and complex financial needs. High earners and medical professionals often fall into the “I’ll deal with it later” trap due to extreme decision fatigue and delayed gratification. Personal financial choices are heavily influenced by childhood “money scripts,” such as scarcity mindsets, which persist even as income grows. The transition from employer pensions to self-directed 401(k)s transferred retirement planning responsibility to individuals without providing proper financial education. Financial literacy remains under-taught in schools partly because educators themselves often lack formal training in money management. Behavioral financial advising helps clients recognize cognitive biases, such as aversion bias, herd mentality, and trying to predict the future. Performing a personal values exercise and placing core values on a daily bathroom mirror can actively guide better financial choices. Auditing 30 days of personal spending against your core values reveals whether your money is supporting what truly matters to you.   Connect with Will Hoffman:  Hoffman Wealth Management (724) 522-5411 will@hoffmanwealth.com LinkedIn: Will Hoffman  Facebook: Hoffman Wealth Management  YouTube: Hoffman Wealth Management   Disclosure: Yohance Harrison and The Money Script are not affiliated with Hoffman Wealth Management or Private Advisor Group

    5 Outdated Financial Practices to Leave Behind in 2026

    Summary: In this episode of Wealth on the Move, hosts Will Hoffman and Brynn Tarbuck discuss five outdated practices in the wealth management industry that need to be left behind. They explore the ineffectiveness of dinner seminars, the rise of financial influencers, the misconceptions surrounding life insurance as an investment, and the importance of integrated financial advice. The conversation emphasizes the need for a client-centered approach and the dangers of siloed advice in financial planning. In this conversation, Will and Brynn discuss the importance of collaboration among financial professionals, the challenges of founder limitations in firms, and the need for a client-centric approach in the financial profession. They emphasize the significance of integrating various professional insights to provide comprehensive financial advice and the necessity of building firms that can thrive beyond their founders. Resources:  Wealth on the Move Episode with Ben Carlson Takeaways: The wealth management industry needs to evolve and leave behind outdated practices. Dinner seminars often create a forced quid pro quo that doesn’t serve clients’ best interests. Financial influencers can provide valuable content, but their advice should be vetted for credibility. Life insurance is a tool for protection, not primarily an investment vehicle. Siloed advice from different financial professionals can lead to misaligned strategies and poor outcomes. Education-based seminars are preferable to high-pressure sales tactics. Clients should seek validation from licensed professionals before acting on financial advice. Integrated financial planning requires collaboration among advisors, accountants, and attorneys. Relying on social media for financial decisions can be risky without proper validation. A comprehensive financial plan should include multiple strategies and tools, not just one product. It’s important to move accountants into advisory roles. Collaboration among professionals leads to better client outcomes. Financial advisors need to consider lifetime tax implications. Siloed advice can harm clients’ financial plans. Building relationships with other professionals is crucial. Firms should focus on values to ensure growth. A founder’s limitations can bottleneck a firm’s potential. Legacy building is essential for sustainable business. Client-centric approaches improve overall service. Professionals should strive to be agents of change.
