Jon and Randall talk with Jim Niedzinski, cofounder of Motive Wealth Advisors, about how to understand today's market and what it means to our business and decision making. Jim Niedzinski, CFP®, AIF®, is cofounder of Motive Wealth Advisors. He and his team provide fiduciary wealth management to a purposefully limited number of high net worth families in the context of deep relationships. For more than 20 years, Jim has been advising clients with complex financial situations such as those involving privately held businesses, the knottiest of executive compensation packages, and the challenges of large tax liabilities. In addition to Jim's breadth of technical knowledge, he also draws upon his two decades of experience to serve clients as their strategic advisor, helping them clarify their vision and make decisions that align with their deepest values. Jim earned a BA degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, while lettering on the varsity track team. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and he holds the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) credential. Jim is gaga for Shannon, his wife of 18 years (they haven't missed their weekly date in over a decade). They have a teenage son and nearly-teenage daughter they adore. If you get to know the Niedzinskis, you'll find that their faith is important to them and they are active in their church community. Jim reads constantly (maybe too much—he even reads while brushing his teeth). He loves the outdoors and conditioning through CrossFit, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, mountain biking, snow skiing, and rock climbing. While Jim enjoys his active lifestyle, he also likes that it affords him the regular guilty pleasure of apple fritters from Donut Cutter in Royal Oak.

Jon talks with Bill Bice, CEO of boomtime, about how he tackled marketing as a technology problem by building the first marketing-as a-service platform and how following the data can help you scale your business faster. Bill Bice has always been an entrepreneur, starting his first company at age 14, putting on road races with corporate sponsors. At 18, he started ProLaw Software, the first integrated ERP for law frms. After selling the company to Thomson Reuters, Bill became a VC as a founding partner in the Verge Fund, investing in high tech, high growth companies in the Southwest. One of the core things that Bill has learned in building and investing in companies is that the go-to- market is always the hardest part of growing a business. He got so frustrated in trying to get great marketing for his companies that he decided to tackle the problem. A programmer at heart, Bill founded boomtime, tackling marketing as a technology problem. It turns out that when you follow the data, really good things happen. That's why boomtime built the world's first marketing-as a-service platform: fuse. boomtime's marketing strategists follow the data: they already know what will work. Instead of reinventing the wheel, boomtime applies proven marketing techniques at scale.
