"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

Technology is evolving faster than ever, and financial advisors who ignore it risk getting left behind.
That’s why I’m sitting down with Shannon Rosic, Director of WealthStack Content & Solutions at Informa, to talk about the cutting-edge advancements that are reshaping the financial services industry.
Shannon has spent over a decade at the forefront of fintech, helping firms navigate digital media, AI-driven solutions, and the evolving wealth tech landscape. Known by many as “Gadget Girl” for her creative and engaging approach to fintech storytelling, she’s the go-to expert on helping firms harness technology to scale efficiently—without sacrificing the human touch.
In this episode, we dig into the future of AI in wealth management, how advisors can future-proof their business, and why the build vs. buy debate is more critical than ever. Plus, Shannon shares her take on the biggest tech trends advisors need to embrace now to stay ahead of the game.
4 of the biggest insights from Shannon Rosic …
#1.) AI isn’t coming—it’s already here
If you’re not testing AI-powered tools like automated note-taking, prospecting assistants, and workflow automation, you’re already falling behind. AI isn’t going to replace advisors, but it will separate those who embrace it from those who resist it.
#2.) The Future of CRM & AI-Driven Workflows
CRMs are evolving from static databases to AI-powered growth engines. The best firms are using AI-driven workflows to automate follow-ups, surface insights, and free up advisors to focus on what matters most—building relationships.
#3.) The Must-Have Features of a Client Portal
A great client portal isn’t just about access—it’s about engagement. The best portals deliver personalized insights, intuitive design, and seamless communication, making complex financial planning feel effortless for clients.
#4.) Build vs. Buy: Which Tech Strategy Wins?
Should firms build their own tools or buy off-the-shelf solutions? The best strategy is often a mix—leveraging best-in-class third-party tech while customizing key elements to fit your firm’s unique needs
