In the 3rd episode of RPA Radio, host, Dr. Sam Bowden Akbari, is joined by RPA’s EVP, Kate Slevin, to dive into all things congestion pricing in NYC.

On January 5th of this year, the nation’s first ever congestion pricing tolling program went into effect as NYC joined global cities such as London and Singapore, who use a tolling fee to curb congestion, pollution, VMTs, and use the toll revenue to fund the mass transit system. Join Sam and Kate as they look back on the first three months of the program and go back in time over the twenty-plus-year advocacy journey to bring this transportation planning milestone to fruition.

Mike Maddox shared his story of running and operating a company called ASK, an IT and cyber security company, which experienced 10x growth over 10 years, but also faced chaos and frustration, and eventually implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to get the business healthy and aligned, and was later acquired by a large multinational company 
01:14.

Mike's experience with EOS and his acquisition led him to start coaching other businesses, and he eventually got his franchise to coach clients, with the goal of helping other business owners achieve successful exits and grow their business value 
04:44.

Brian, a partner with Washington Avenue Advisors, shared his motivation for helping business owners with their valuation and exit, which is to see stories like Mike's and help owners have successful exits, allowing them to pursue their passions and reap the benefits of their hard work, and he achieved the Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designation to be more intentional about delivering this service 
07:29.

Understanding the eight drivers of business value and the six keys of operational success can help business owners make informed decisions and potentially increase their company's value 
10:24

Focusing on a unique aspect of a business, such as monopoly control, can lead to competitive advantages and better margins, as seen in Stephanie Breedlove's story of growing her company to $9 million in revenue 
11:31

Building a strong "moat" around a business by developing a unique skill or service can make it more valuable and attractive to potential buyers, as demonstrated by Stephanie's sale of her company for $54 million 
17:40

The series of workshops will continue, with the next one scheduled for October 17th, and participants will have the opportunity to assess their company's score in the eight drivers compared to industry peers 
00:04.

Maximizing the eight drivers of valuation can be achieved by getting alignment on vision, traction, and health in a business, allowing companies to increase their multiples and achieve their goals 
01:18.

The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is a simple and effective way to implement operational efficiency, focusing on six foundational areas, including vision, people, and data, to help businesses become healthy and strong 
02:09.

Achieving Traction

Vision without traction is considered hallucination, and having clear objectives for the business in a 90-day world is crucial for achieving traction 
10:00

The L10 meeting is a simple yet effective tool for solving issues, where the leadership team meets to discuss what's on track, off track, and how to solve issues 
10:38

Exit Strategy

To optimize valuation and plan for exit, business owners need to define what exit means for them and be transparent with their employees about their plans, which can be built into their vision 
15:14

A business owner should think about the next person's journey when selling their business, and having a buyer who is excited about the business can drive value, as seen in Stephanie's example with 7 million subscribers 
19:25

Building a Valuable Business

To build a valuable business, it's essential to consider operational efficiency and capacity to support growth, such as a coffee shop handling increased demand for muffins

Turn Your Summer Writing Plans into Autumn Writing Plans

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to unpack what “value” really means in property – and why it’s much more than just the purchase price.

The trio explores how value is shaped by finance, planning, taxation, and asset protection – and how smart investors use these pillars to design their decade ahead.

Victor explains that interest rates are only one part of the finance equation, urging investors to understand LVRs, loan structuring, and how to use debt strategically rather than fear it. Reshmi then challenges the idea that low debt equals success, instead making the case for smart leverage that fuels sustainable portfolio growth.

Planning is positioned as the strategic map for investors, helping avoid distractions and keep portfolios aligned with personal and financial goals.

On tax, Victor reframes it as an opportunity rather than a burden, urging listeners to think long-term and structure their affairs accordingly. Reshmi adds that fixating on tax minimisation can sometimes hinder wealth creation – and that a balanced, strategic approach is more powerful.

The pair also highlight the importance of asset protection and strong personal and professional relationships – often overlooked, but essential to portfolio longevity.

Blueprint for Joy: Planning Happiness and Fulfillment with Mark Fabian, PhD

Jeff Graham Show Sept. 11, 2025

There’s no first place or last place here. Life is not a competition. Often people use money and the acquisition of things to measure where they stand: who’s got the nicer house, the fancier car, the vacation home, but the truth is, we can’t predict how long we’ll live or the state of our health as we age. The reality is, it doesn’t matter where we start. It’s how we finish that counts. And my guess is that being the richest man in the graveyard is not the goal.
