"Do Business. Do Life." is a weekly podcast dedicated to helping the independent financial advisor create unlimited growth and freedom in their business AND life.
Having been a coach for the top 1% of independent financial advisors for 15+ years, Brad Johnson has seen far too many leaders in financial services sacrifice their marriages, health, relationships, and everything else that matters to walk across an industry stage recognizing their "success." That model is broken, and Brad's on a mission to fix it.
Join Brad as he distills the best advice from top thought leaders and applies it to the world of independent financial advising. Get actionable tips/tactics on sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, business growth, lead generation, hiring, training, team building, company culture, core values, work/life integration, family, relationships, and more!
"Do Business. Do Life." is way more than just another podcast for financial advisors. It's an experience. It's a community. And more than anything, it's a movement. #DBDL

Eric is renowned for his mashups of classic hits with new songs, generating millions of views and even catching the attention of artists like Chris Stapleton and Warren G in the process.

Épisode 69
mercredi 19 juin 2024 • Durée 42:13
Today the tables are turned! This is going to be a slightly different episode, as I’m the one being interviewed. A while back, I had the pleasure of guesting on Dave Zoller’s popular YouTube show, Streamline My Practice – which serves thousands of financial advisors by teaching them how to grow their financial practice.
The episode got a lot of engagement, to which I give full credit to Dave; he’s a great interviewer who prepared some really thoughtful questions. I think our own audience would get a lot of value from hearing this one, so I wanted to re-share it for DBDL listeners.
Oh, and in case you missed it, I actually interviewed Dave on our podcast not too long ago, and that was all about how he’s using YouTube as a marketing funnel that led to $60M of new assets for his firm! So, if you haven’t listened to that one, definitely go back and check out episode 21. In the meantime, enjoy my guest appearance on Dave Zoller’s show!

Épisode 68
mercredi 12 juin 2024 • Durée 01:12:04
Today, I have the pleasure of talking with Triad members Tim and Julie Sullivan – a dynamic husband and wife team that lead Strategic Wealth Advisors Group together.
After joining Triad in early 2023, Tim and Julie have grown their business by leaps and bounds. Not only did they just sign a $12 million client (their biggest ever!), they’re also already more than halfway to hitting their $70 million AUM goal this year.
But Tim and Julie's journey isn’t just inspiring because of their thriving advisory practice... It's also how they’ve turned serious personal tragedies into powerful motivators for success in business and life. Plus, how they’re giving back by starting their own non-profit, Light the Way.
In this episode, we talk about the Sullivan’s incredible journey, why they have such a heart for giving back to their community, and some of the simple changes they’ve made in the past year that have fast-tracked their business success.

Today, I’m talking with Ross Marino, the founder and CEO of Transitus Wealth Partners, as well as Advisor 2X. Ross is a seasoned financial planner with over 35 years of experience and a pioneer of the human-first financial guidance movement.
As Ross wisely says, "Life happens, plans change." As a financial advisor, your role goes beyond crunching numbers and discussing products.

By connecting with them on a deeper level, you can provide the guidance they need to navigate life's uncertainties. That’s what human-first financial advice is all about.
In this episode, we dive deep into the human-first process and how a better understanding of your client’s circumstances and story, will allow you to create a clear plan to help them retire with confidence.

Épisode 66
mercredi 29 mai 2024 • Durée 57:31
Today, I’m chatting with Brooke Martin – an incredible human being and very talented Executive Assistant who has worked with me for the past 3 years. While Brooke manages my calendar with exceptional skill, her impact goes way beyond scheduling. Brooke allows me to excel not just in my business, but also as a husband, father, and in every other aspect of my life.
In fact, here’s what she said on the pod…
My goal as an EA is to make sure that Brad shows up the best that he can. I want other people to look at our time together, however long it is, and say Brad was a better husband, he was a better father, he was a better founder, and teammate, because Brooke was his EA. I want him to be the hero to his family and the company. That's really my heart, that's my goal in this whole thing.
That is the type of person you want in your corner and I feel so grateful to have her in mine!
In this episode, we’re going to break down exactly what Brooke does for me, why this role is so critical to building a business, and how getting the right person for this role will completely transform how you do business and life.
Whether you’re unsure if you need an executive assistant, you’re actively looking to hire one, or you just want an inside look at how I work with Brooke and what a successful Executive Assistant does, this conversation is for you.
3 of the biggest insights from Brooke Martin …
Why I believe the executive assistant is the #1 missing role in every financial services firm – but if you value your time, are seeking professional growth, and want a better quality of life, an EA should probably be your FIRST hire!
What to look for when you’re hiring an executive assistant – Brooke outlines 4 key traits to identify as you interview potential candidates.

The funny thing is, it’s actually our shared passion for sports collectables that brought Tom and I together – which is a major focal point for today’s conversation.

Épisode 64
mercredi 15 mai 2024 • Durée 01:04:30
In this episode, I’m talking to Triad member and financial advisor Jordan Flowers who leads Wealth Financial Services & Tax Advisory along with his father Thomas.
When Jordan and his company first joined Triad in 2022, they had roughly $20 million of AUM. Fast-forward to 2023 and they nearly doubled their total assets to $39.4 million. And what’s even cooler, is that scaling their firm didn’t have to come at the cost of their time and freedom. In fact, Jordan’s Dad is only working 4-5 months of the year, while spending the rest of time “doing life.”
In this episode we talk about what actions Jordan and his team have taken to supercharge their growth while actually improving work-life balance and creating a stronger culture in the process.
You’ll also notice a through line to Jordan's story is centered around selfless leadership and serving his team and clients at the highest level.
