Styling for Confidence (Cyndy Porter)

John Bowen

John Bowen was in the right place at the right time, being CEO of two large financial advisory firms in Silicon Valley in the 1990s. And from that vantage point, he had noticed a gap in the industry — far too many financial advisors were reinventing the wheel when it came to research. So he started CEG Worldwide in 2000, which is now the world’s leading coaching firm for financial advisors. In this episode Danny, Abe, and John talk about:Clarity of focus and clarity of outcomeThe intentionality of focusing on the affluent segmentThe value of market researchHaving a “moat” in your industryAfter the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways.“We're very, very, very clear that we're going to help them race up this hierarchy of advisor success that I'm describing. And that it's not only the money part, but they're going to have this amazing life of significance.”– John BowenJohn Bowen is the founder and CEO of CEG Worldwide, the world’s leading coaching firm for financial advisors. Since 2000, Bowen and his team have had the privilege of coaching elite financial advisors to build simple, elegant wealth management businesses that serve their affluent clients extremely well while building lives of significance for themselves, their teams, and their loved ones.Before founding CEG Worldwide, Bowen worked directly with affluent clients as a financial advisor for 26 years, managing up to $2 billion in assets before selling his firm. Following the sale of his firm, he became CEO of Assante Capital Management.

John Bowen was in the right place at the right time, being CEO of two large financial advisory firms in Silicon Valley in the 1990s. And from that vantage point, he had noticed a gap in the industry — far too many financial advisors were reinventing the wheel when it came to research. So he started CEG Worldwide in 2000, which is now the world’s leading coaching firm for financial advisors. In this episode Danny, Abe, and John talk about:<ul><li>Clarity of focus and clarity of outcome</li><li>The intentionality of focusing on the affluent segment</li><li>The value of market research</li><li>Having a “moat” in your industry</li></ul>After the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways. “We're very, very, very clear that we're going to help them race up this hierarchy of advisor success that I'm describing. And that it's not only the money part, but they're going to have this amazing life of significance.” – John Bowen John Bowen is the founder and CEO of CEG Worldwide, the world’s leading coaching firm for financial advisors.

With classic entrepreneurial spirit, David created several courses to teach students how to succeed as voice talent. That modest beginning has now grown into 30+ courses, a team of coaches, and a vibrant community — all under the business name VO Heroes. Fun Fact: David is regarded as the first podcaster, dating to 1994 when he sent out audio to subscribers over the Internet as a “Personal Netcast.” In this episode Danny, Abe, and David talk about: <ul><li>How you should never let your looks, beliefs, or age hold you back (David’s first on-camera work was at age 50!)</li><li>Building a course business that fits your lifestyle — or fits with your other business</li><li>The ways David has built gamification and other support mechanisms into his courses</li><li>How professional performers “work out” and how these workouts are built into his program</li><li>Overcoming the perception that marketing is a “bad word”</li><li>And more</li></ul> After the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways “I have luckily been involved in communities and groups that have given us a joy of marketing rather than a fear or loathing of marketing… being at peace with understanding that you need to be able to market and price and invoice and collect.” – David H. Lawrence XVII David H.
