About Joseph LoPresti:

Joseph LoPresti is the Founder and President of Arlington Wealth Management, where he helps business owners and successful families integrate elite wealth management with proactive business exit strategies. With over 40 years of experience in the financial services industry, Joseph is deeply committed to guiding clients toward their “Freedom Point”—the moment they’ve secured enough wealth to live life on their own terms. Through Arlington’s Virtual Family Office of 75+ experts, he delivers synergistic, advanced planning across investment consulting, tax mitigation, estate planning, and wealth protection.

Joseph believes that a business exit is not just a transaction—it’s a life transition that deserves careful preparation and strategic foresight. His mission is to help entrepreneurs increase business value from a buyer’s perspective, prepare for seamless transitions, and shape legacies they can be proud of. Backed by a proven track record and a passion for empowering others, Joseph ensures his clients are positioned for both financial success and personal freedom.

In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Joseph LoPresti discuss:

  • Proactive Pre-Exit Wealth Planning
  • Fractional Family Office Strategies
  • Coordinating Multiple Business Advisors
  • Asset Protection and Business Value
  • Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurial Education

Key Takeaways:

  • Entrepreneurs often miss opportunities by not planning proactively years before selling their business, which can significantly impact their financial future.
  • Advisor coordination prevents costly mistakes, making it essential to have a quarterback who understands the entire financial landscape.
  • Wealth preservation goes beyond simple investments, and protecting assets involves understanding liability risks, business value, and creating strategies that safeguard accumulated wealth across multiple dimensions.
  • Our education system fails to teach fundamental financial skills, leaving most unprepared to manage their financial futures.
  • Fractional family office models now allow entrepreneurs with $5-75 million to access sophisticated wealth management strategies previously reserved for ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

"People aren't natural investors. Our education system just doesn't really cover financial literacy.” — Joseph LoPresti

About Jeff Shada: For over 40 years, Jeff Shada has been an entrepreneur and a senior executive, serving in roles from Vice President to C-Level across a wide range of industries. His career spans everything from startups and small-to-medium enterprises to multi-billion-dollar Fortune 200 corporations. Often holding multiple leadership roles simultaneously, Jeff understands what it means to be busy—and to be deeply invested in a company’s success. Over the course of four decades, Jeff has navigated both booming economies and severe recessions. While one might assume that prosperous times would be the most rewarding, Jeff has found that value and insight often emerge during the most challenging periods. What stands out throughout his extensive experience is a core truth: regardless of the industry, size, or stage of growth, every business shares a fundamental need—access to capital and credit. In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Jeff Shada discuss: Separate Personal and Business Credit Avoid Personal Guarantees Build Digital Business Imprint Understand Business vs. Commercial Credit Leverage Vendor Credit for Business Growth Key Takeaways: Personal guarantees can devastate your financial future, and entrepreneurs must understand the risks of signing away personal assets when securing business loans. Building business credit is a strategic process that requires intentional effort. Lenders evaluate businesses differently from individual credit profiles, and your business's digital footprint and credit reputation can dramatically impact your ability to secure funding. Vendor credit represents a powerful scaling mechanism for businesses of all sizes. Education is the cornerstone of financial protection in business, and seeking guidance from experienced professionals can help navigate the complex landscape of business credit and lending. "Knowing that you don't know means you have an awareness about the subject.” — Jeff Shada Connect with Jeff Shada : LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jshada1/ Website: https://bizcreditsolution.com/ https://www.laughlinbizcredit.com/ Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…

About Michelle Pierson Young: Michelle Pierson is a young dynamic coach, speaker, and mentor, whose infectious energy and deep wisdom inspire everyone she meets, including me, with a heart for empowering others. Michelle helps people unlock their potential, step boldly into their greatness, and create lives filled with purpose and joy. Her unique blend of insight, humor and compassion makes her not only a transformational guide but also a true light in the lives of those around her. In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Michelle Pierson Young discuss: Power of External Mentorship Challenging Personal Limiting Beliefs Importance of Curiosity and Self-Awareness Breaking Feedback Loops in Personal Growth Setting Audacious Goals and Speaking Them Aloud Key Takeaways: Mentorship transforms personal growth by challenging ingrained beliefs. Curiosity is the catalyst for meaningful change and self-improvement, and when individuals remain open to learning and questioning their own assumptions, they create opportunities for profound personal development. Thinking positively about oneself doesn't equate to arrogance; it's a pathway to genuine confidence. Embracing self-worth without ego allows individuals to unlock their true potential and approach challenges with clarity. Success isn't just about achieving goals, but understanding the psychological journey behind them. Verbalizing aspirations creates a mathematical and psychological commitment that propels individuals toward their dreams. "If you're going to be a great coach, somebody who wants greatness will always be searching for somebody who will show them what they're not doing well yet.” — Michelle Pierson Young Connect with Michelle Pierson Young : Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/michelleatplay/?hl=da Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…

In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Michelle Pierson Young discuss: Breaking Generational Patterns Overcoming Life's Challenges Understanding Human Animal Behavior Importance of External Perspectives Authenticity and Personal Growth Key Takeaways: Doing the same thing repeatedly won't yield different results; instead, introduce new perspectives and approaches to break free from your current limitations. Your childhood experiences create an "operating manual" that may no longer serve you. Profound insights often come from challenging or uncomfortable situations, and as such, stay open to lessons that emerge from experiences that initially seem negative or difficult. Our survival instincts often drive behaviors that worked in childhood but are ineffective in adulthood. Actively seek mentors, experiences, and knowledge that challenge your current understanding of success and personal development.

Through his work, Rich continues to demystify the patent process, making it accessible and actionable for innovators ready to protect their ideas. In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Rich Goldstein discuss: Intellectual Property Protection Trademark vs. Patent Differences Business Exit Strategy Planning Increasing Business Value Through IP Early Trademark and Brand Registration Key Takeaways: Protecting your brand isn't just a legal formality—it's a strategic investment. Exit planning should start years before you actually sell, but entrepreneurs often wait too long, missing opportunities to make their business more transferable and attractive to potential buyers. Intellectual property isn't just for revolutionary inventions, and even small, niche innovations or unique processes can be valuable assets that set your business apart in the marketplace. Not all businesses need patents, but most can benefit from trademark protection. Creating systematic processes and documentation makes your company more scalable and appealing to potential investors or acquirers. "If you don't get the trademark, you risk losing the rights to it, because someone else can get it if someone else files before you.” — Rich Goldstein Connect with Rich Goldstein : Website: https://www.richgoldstein.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardwgoldstein/ Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…

With a tech career that started with developing Yelp (before Internet Explorer was launched!,) he has owned and managed agencies involved in over 1,400 projects with market leaders such as Jamie Oliver, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and more. Peter's current focus is to use the knowledge and experience gained from being at the epicenter of 2 tech paradigm shifts to help individuals and institutions see what they have, what they need to succeed, and how to bridge the two. On a personal front, Peter is a grateful husband and proud father of two children who continually remind him of the power of being present, 3 3-time business mastery winner, and a terrible golfer who splits his time between Miami and the UK. In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Peter Swain discuss: AI Customer Service Human-AI Collaboration Different AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok) Effective AI Interaction Future of Work, AI optimization Key Takeaways: Businesses can dramatically improve response times and customer satisfaction through AI-powered support. Most people want human experts augmented by AI intelligence, not replaced by it, and surprisingly - 75% of surveyed individuals would pay more for a service where humans do less work but achieve better outcomes. Effective AI interaction requires clear, precise communication and treating the AI as a conversational partner. Different AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok have inherent biases and strengths based on their training and origin. AI can optimize processes across multiple business functions, from customer service to sales and marketing, and the technology offers unprecedented opportunities to scale operations while reducing human labor costs, and challenging traditional workforce models. "If AI can optimize everything out, we still need the humans to have jobs, because we need meaning.” — Peter Swain Connect with Peter Swain : Website: https://peterswain.com/peter-swain-about LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterswain247/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/PeterSwain247?_rdc=1&_rdr# Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterswain247/ Twitter: https://x.com/peterswain247 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@peterswain247 Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…

Personalization through AI can revolutionize learning experiences for children, and by creating tailored content that matches a child's interests, AI can dramatically accelerate skills like reading comprehension. Automating routine tasks like customer inquiries can free up significant human capital and create scalable operational efficiencies. Just as electricity transformed from massive generators to an invisible, nearly free resource, AI is following a similar trajectory of democratization. Early adopters who experiment and implement AI strategically can gain significant competitive advantages across various industries.

Windshield time matters more than the destination, as meaningful conversations happen during shared experiences, whether driving through storms or working on projects together. Communication is an art of understanding, not telling, and sking permission and dismissing the illusion of knowing transforms interactions from confrontational to collaborative. Resilience isn't about never failing, but how you respond to challenges. Showing up for family means being present during both difficult and ordinary moments, demonstrating love through actions. "My hope is that if I can show and teach my kids how to handle bad moments, that they'll be able to do that for their kids.” — Al Sorensen Connect with Al Sorensen : LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/algot-sorensen-94aa09169/ Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…

Providing feedback by first acknowledging the person's inherent worth, then addressing specific actions helps maintain trust and openness, rather than triggering defensive reactions. Al approaches caregiving with humility and a genuine desire to support, and with this, he was able to find deeper meaning and connection. "Dismiss the illusion of knowing.

In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Scott Krusemark discuss: Importance of education and networking through real estate investor associations (REIAs) Value of having a coach to provide tailored advice and guidance Taking action and learning from mistakes as the best teacher Creative financing strategies, including private lending and using whole life insurance Setting goals and milestones to help more students in real estate and business ventures Key Takeaways: Investing in real estate requires continuous learning, and joining local real estate investor associations can provide valuable networking opportunities and keep investors updated on market trends and legal changes. Having a dedicated coach who understands an individual's specific needs and goals can be incredibly beneficial. While knowledge is important, taking action and learning from mistakes is the best way to progress in real estate investing. Private lending, using retirement accounts, and leveraging whole life insurance policies can provide flexible and efficient financing options, and these creative approaches can help investors capitalize on opportunities that traditional lenders may overlook. Defining a clear vision for the future and setting measurable goals can help investors stay focused and motivated. "The very first assignment that I have to any of my students is to write a vision statement, what do you want your life to feel like? What do you want it to look like? You know, 5, 10, years from now?” — Scott Krusemark Connect with Scott Krusemark : Website: https://scottkrusemark.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottkrusemark/ Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…

In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Jill Lublin discuss: Importance of publicity for building expertise, trust, and visibility Mistakes to avoid in publicity: inaction, over-commercialization, misunderstanding media mentality Strategies for effective publicity: using Google Alerts, consulting national day calendars, thinking of publicity as a garden Flexibility and saying "yes" to media opportunities, even if not fully prepared Integrating social media with traditional publicity, not using it as a substitute Key Takeaways: Publicity is the key to building trust, credibility, and visibility in the marketplace, and by positioning yourself as an expert through media exposure, you can attract more prospects and clients without relying solely on traditional advertising. Focus on understanding the media's needs and presenting yourself as a valuable resource to their audience. Treat your publicity efforts like a garden, planting seeds well in advance and allowing time for them to bloom. When the media comes calling, be ready to say "yes" even if you don't feel fully prepared. While social media can be a valuable tool for promoting your media appearances, it should not replace your efforts to secure traditional publicity, and instead - leverage both channels to create a comprehensive strategy that amplifies your visibility and credibility. "Publicity is the actual strategy that will get you prospects and clients, trust and credibility in the marketplace, and gives you the visibility that every entrepreneur deserves.” — Jill Lublin Connect with Jill Lublin : Website: www.jilllublin.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jilllublin Facebook: www.facebook.com/publicitycrashcourse LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jilllublin YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCP1iC4DCyVD4rP34DZxjeeg Publicity Course: www.publicitycrashcourse.com Connect with Jason and Scott: Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillions X (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com…
