Voices Radio Interview and Techno Mix

Building a firm that reflects your values does not happen by accident.

In this episode of Focused on the Future, host  Suzanne Siracuse talks with Julia Carlson, founder and CEO of Financial Freedom Wealth Management Group, about creating an inclusive culture, serving clients without traditional minimums and using technology to strengthen relationships. Julia also shares insights from her new book, Let’s Get You Fired, which helps entrepreneurs step back so their companies can grow.

Julia also describes how she built Financial Freedom from the ground up, why she hires from her client base, how the Inspired Wealth program supports emerging investors, and how AI is reshaping client service and advisor training.

Key takeaways:

- How Julia went from a 19-year-old bank teller to launching Financial Freedom Wealth Management at age 23
- The way her own “misfit” experience sparked an inclusive, values-driven culture that hires from unexpected places
- How the Inspired Wealth program lets the firm serve people below traditional asset minimums while staying profitable through revenue-based design and focused coaching
- Why her upcoming book Let’s Get You Fired helps entrepreneurs step back, build strong teams, and grow values-based and valuable companies with a strong lens on generosity
- How JUMP AI, Salesforce and Microsoft Copilot are reshaping notetaking, prep, training and client experience while freeing advisors to focus on real conversations

Tonight, Wednesday, November 26th, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Meredith Preston McGhie. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 I speak with Meredith Preston McGhie, Secretary General of the Global Centre for Pluralism and one of the world’s most experienced peacebuilders, about why pluralism is a strategic advantage in a time of polarization and democratic strain. Drawing on decades of work from India to Kenya and Sudan, she shows how diversity becomes strength when countries invest in dialogue, shared belonging, and inclusive institutions. We explore how pluralism works in practice, what real-world conflicts teach about managing differences, and why ordinary people often drive the most powerful change.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 185

The Nazi Experiment wasn't just an idea. It was an idea put into practice. Putting that idea into practice started with a movement, but it required a totalitarian state apparatus to fully implement, to tremendous disaster. What was Adolf Hitler's real vision for the Nazi State? He makes it plain: the primary, if not sole, purpose of the state is to protect and improve the race. That is, Hitler's state wasn't ethnonationalist as a matter of happenstance but centrally, by design. In that regard, given the realities of Europe and the world, the Holocaust, and additional such racially motivated purges, were completely predictable all the way back to the mid-1920s in Mein Kampf. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues his "Nazi Experiment" podcast series with its tenth volume, reading from the second chapter of the second volume of Mein Kampf to show you the horrible reality of the intended Nazi State apparatus in Hitler's own words. Join him for a shocking listen.

Saving American Liberty, Session 5

In this session from the New Discourses event 'Saving American Liberty,' Michael O’Fallon argues that global political, corporate, and religious institutions are jointly reshaping Western society through “degrowth” policies, sustainability mandates, and ideological frameworks like ESG and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, which he sees as mechanisms for centralizing control and limiting individual freedom. He contrasts the West’s self-imposed economic contraction with China’s expansion through the Belt and Road Initiative, claiming this shift empowers China while weakening America’s global position. O’Fallon warns that identity-based conflicts, migration pressures, and urban destabilization are fragmenting Western societies into competing tribal enclaves, leaving them vulnerable to foreign influence. He concludes that COVID-era restrictions, digital surveillance, and AI-driven governance signal a broader transition from a merit-based, liberty-oriented system to one that demands ideological compliance from both citizens and institutions.

Career Highlights:
Ministry of Sound, London
Corsica Studios, London
Ibiza Rocks Bar, Ibiza
Reading Festival

light gal is a rising star of London’s house and techno scene. Drawing influence from such labels as Terminal M, Drumcode, and Innervisions, as well listing DJs like Charlotte De Witte, Mha Iri and Massano as some of her many inspirations, light gal creates unique and exploratory sets ranging from dark and melodic to peak time techno. With appearances at across Ibiza, Florida as well as various venues accross London such as Ministry of Sound, Corsica Studios and Dalston Superstore, she is quickly emerging as a talent to watch.

Born in Surrey, one of her first introductions to dance music was during primary school, listening to compilations of Ibiza summer hits. She attended Reigate College, whose alumni include Disclosure and Fatboy Slim, and went on to study a Masters degree at the University of Bristol in Maths and Computer Science. It was here that her passion for the music was truly cemented, becoming a frequent visitor to legendary Bristol venues like Lakota, Motion, and Dojo Nightclub. After her studies, she moved back to Surrey, concentrating on her craft while working at the Academy of Contemporary Music.

She was first drawn to dance music through early underground dubstep from the likes of artists such as Plastician and Rusko. When the genre began to die down it opened her eyes to different sounds and styles, particularly house and techno. “The thing I love about the style of house I play is that everyone can be happy and dance along even if they don’t know the songs - it’s that sort of vibe. But with techno though, it’s the opposite. Dark, cold, industrial, yet melodic - but still stuff you can dance to!”

Light Gal kick-started her DJ career by performing in Ibiza over the Summer of 2017. During her time on the island, she performed at Ibiza Rocks and Hush nightclub, and was so well-received that she was invited back the following year. Since then, she has been busy - performing across London and establishing her own event ‘Minority Influence,’ which hopes to disprove the opinions and biases of people who consider the house and techno scene to be exclusively white and male, and looks forward to organising its next instalment soon. Between gigs, Light gal is currently curating DERILIKT Techno - a series of dark and melodic mixes, and the bi-annual Pure House Anthems, packed with UK House dance floor fillers.
