  Back with us again is Lauren Mullee, Attorney and Partner at Buncher Law Corporation. She specializes in Marvin Actions, or non-marital cohabitation cases. With the rise in popularity of non-marital cohabitation, this information is likely very important to you or someone you know. There is a lot of confusion regarding Marvin Actions and Lauren is here to clarify. In her interview, Lauren outlines the origin of Marvin Action and compares this field to family law. The laws that apply to married people do not necessarily apply to those who have amassed an estate while cohabitating and unmarried. Despite the vagueness of the law in these situations, Lauren knows firsthand that there still may be disputes to settle. Lauren always keeps her clients’ bottom line in mind and shares some ways to settle outside of the court system. Until changes are made to the law surrounding non-marital cohabitation, a strong and knowledgeable advocate like Lauren is essential in these situations. 1-Minute Sections: 3:56-4:56:

Host: Bill Black Audio Library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com Josh Brown discusses business ownership and offers tried & true methods that help both business and franchise owners scale and grow.  Transcript:  Bill: So, where do people tend to go wrong when they get into franchising? Josh: I think people fall in love with brands, but they don't understand the underlying business model. And, if you're going to buy a franchise, and be a good operator, you have to understand the underlying business model.

Laura Ladoux shares a quick idea regarding setting up a business in a Community Property State (like CA).  Transcript:  Bill: What are some of the things you should be thinking about when you set up your business in a community property state? Here's Laura Ladoux. Laura: One of my favorite things to do is help people understand that California is a community property state, and a lot of people don't really understand what the ramifications are of setting up a business when you are living in a community property state and you do have a spouse. One of the things I like to do is to sit down and find out if we need to have a community property meeting in place, is the spouse going to be a part of the company, do they want to be completely hands off? You know, we don't like to think of divorce, but my job as an attorney and as a legal business coach is to look at the holistic aspect of it and to prevent problems before they come, and it's a lot easier when you're setting up a partnership or a community proper

Host: Buck Blanton. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com. A discussion about the new trends to automate employer-sponsored retirement plans in order to produce a better retirement outcome.New content daily - check back often! Transcript:  Tim: If you've got a number of participants that are around 60 years old, for example, and you take the statistics that we just said in terms of how much money people would save for retirement and their readiness, and they look at it and they think, "well, I think I'm gonna keep working another three or four years," and then they start doing the math and they realize, "wait a minute, I don't have the money to do that."

A 1 minute highlight of John Dade's interview.  Transcript:  Bill: Why should an investor look into something like a managed future?  John: Well, managed futures should be part of every investment portfolio. This goes back to the 1950's. A lot of people smarter than myself, Harvard professors, professors at the University of Chicago, Henry Markowitz back in the 1950's, came up with what's called, "Professionally Managed Futures: A Modern Portfolio Theory," which states that when you add a non correlated asset class to a balanced portfolio, not only do you get higher rates of return, but you also reduce your overall volatility and risk in the portfolio. A future's position is a commitment to do something whether you guess right or wrong, and it can be very expensive. On the other side, an option's position is what it is, it gives you the option, if you're right or wrong, to commit. So, simply, it's less downside risk.       Want more control of your business growth? Invest 15 minutes and get a F
