"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."

A prospect can sit through an entire meeting, nod along, ask good questions, and still leave without fully understanding why they need you. That’s the problem. Many advisors explain their value clearly, but they don’t ma

If you’re a financial advisor, you see procrastination every day. People wait years before reaching out for financial help. Prospects say they’ll think about it. Clients agree with the plan but never quite get around to
Financial advisor firms rarely stall from a lack of effort. More often, growth breaks down when founders are trying to do everything themselves. But the difference between burnout and scale often starts with building the
Across the table from every prospect is a hidden conversation—fear, insecurity, skepticism, or past experiences that shape how they hear everything you say. In this episode, I sit down with trial attorney, communication
If you’ve ever felt like the marketing strategies you’re using are confusing, inconsistent, or just not working the way you expected, you’re not alone. Oftentimes advisors end up using the spaghetti on the wall approach
If you’re the only advisor in your firm who can close deals, you don’t own a business, you own a job. And I see this happen all the time. Advisors think growth comes from more appointments and closing more deals. So they
