In this heart-to-heart exchange, we delve into the interplay between parenting and professional life, a theme that resonates deeply with many. I share my own experiences and insights on raising children in affluence, the necessity of instilling the value of money and the ethic of hard work. We explore strategies like budgeting as a means to teach financial prudence. Beyond the fiscal lessons, we touch upon the continuous quest for personal growth, the vitality of maintaining one's mental and physical health, and knowing when to pivot or persevere in a career path.

Our conversation also casts a light on the equilibrium of passion and dedication in both business and personal realms. Sanjay opens up about the importance of family time, travel, and the pursuit of a fulfilling life that transcends material wealth. His take on risk and reward, and how past experiences inform his current approach to business and life, is enlightening. The chapter closes with Sanjay proudly discussing his son's entrepreneurial undertakings, highlighting the profound impact of legacy and the pride in seeing the torch passed to the next generation.

Welcome to Invest The Difference, where we talk about how to grow and scale your business by investing in and doubling down on the difference makers. We are excited to bring you an episode in our "best-of" series, where we revisit some of our archive's most popular and insightful conversations that are just as relevant today as when we first recorded this episode.
So whether you're new to our podcast or a long-time listener, we hope you enjoy this "best-of" episode. Let's jump right in.

This week on Invest The Difference, Claudio interviews co-host Bernadette Girvin, CEO of GFG Solutions. She shares her transition from professional golfing to financial services and how her exit from the LPGA tour left her with a hefty debt, sparking a new path to money management. Bernadette shares some advice on bridging that gap and thinking about your wealth and the future.

Bernadette Girvin, a former LPGA Tour player and 17+ year veteran in the financial services industry, is passionate about her role as Chief Executive Officer with GFG Solutions. In 2019, after 11 years as a solopreneur and Financial Advisor managing her own practice, she formally partnered with Claudio Gambin of Gambin Financial Group to open their office in downtown Orlando. Bernadette is leading the strategic growth vision of the firm, overseeing financial performance and helping ensure a first-class, exceptional client experience.

Bernadette graduated from Ole Miss in 2003 with a B.S. in Psychology while playing on the Women’s Golf Team. After graduating and then playing for 3 years on the LPGA Tour, she joined the financial industry and worked in several different capacities, but ultimately fell in love with building successful teams and helping organizations execute their strategic vision.

Outside of work, Bernadette is a proud mom to her two children, Gates and Presley. She and her husband, Charlie, are Orlando natives and love their community. She has a passion for metal music and fashion and is an animal lover.

In this episode, Claudio and Bernadette welcome Tom Wall, Speaker, Author, Economist, PhD, and Dad; and share their conversation about career pivoting and retirement planning.

Tom holds a Ph.D. in Retirement Income Planning, with original research on Whole Life as a Fixed Income Alternative under the advisement of industry thought leaders Wade Pfau, Michael Finke, and Stephen Parrish. His focus on academics and selling from a place of integrity come from a 20-year career of positioning whole life insurance and competing against its alternatives. Starting in college as an award-winning advisor with Northwestern Mutual before moving his practice to MassMutual, he subsequently grew his career in prominent home office roles in sales and marketing leadership. He has been a well known storyteller at perennial company conferences and firm meetings nation-wide. Tom now coaches and consults with financial advisors, hosts the Whole Life Masterminds study group, and is authoring multiple pieces of original thought leadership, books, and other content.

Tom distills decades of experience into simple language, concepts, and thought leadership that advisors can immediately take to their clients. He believes whole life insurance is the Best Kept Secret in financial planning, and has refocused his career on driving organizational growth and inspiring a cultural shift among investment oriented advisors. Tom lives in the Boston area with his two boys aged 11 & 8, and wants nothing more than to make a profound impact on your team.

In this episode, Claudio and Bernadette share their conversation with Nicole Kalil, a speaker, leadership strategist, respected coach, and host of the “This Is Woman’s Work” Podcast. Nicole shares about taking action first when seeking confidence, not the other way around. She teaches action and failure are the most vital elements necessary to grow your confidence while redefining what confidence really is.

Nicole is a fugitive of the C-suite at a Fortune 100 company, she has coached hundreds of women in business, which has given her insight as to what – structurally, systemically and socially – is and isn’t serving women and leaders within an organization. One of her focuses is on the topic of confidence and how to actually attain it with actionable tools. She is helping trailblazing women thrive in their authentic selves.

Grace Holt co-founded a highly successful independent RIA in Pittsburgh, PA in 2020. Launching the RIA provided the experience of hiring and coaching a team, selecting pertinent tech, building internal operations and procedures, refining the client experience, integrating compliance policies into practice, managing the day-to-day of running a business, and much more.

Grace found that helping others launch, run, and grow their businesses is her passion, so she started The COO Insider. She enjoys the unique and wide range of challenges that come with running a business; consequently, her services are broad to account for this.

She offers two specific services: one, working with business owners and executives in revamping and refining their business practices and procedures; two, one-on-one coaching with top talent to run their business, effectively solve problems, and manage their people.

Building a foundation for an industry with many players takes commitment, integrity and relentlessness–just three of many qualities that have enabled Brian Hess to build a 8-Figure company and forge enduring relationships with clients that are in the rankings to span decade(s).

Over his lifetime, Brian has devoted himself to focusing on the specificities of hard work. When it is time for his legacy to live on those who know him will remember him as someone who has set the example for being exceptional in every aspect of their life. As CEO and President of The Pavement Group, Top Contractor School, and Host of The Perspective Podcast, Brian has proven that serving his clients and listeners using his unique data will certainly pave the way for more industry icons following his lead. Brian leads an esteemed team of various skills with expertise in technology, marketing, production, sales, and of course, construction.

Brian’s definition of happiness is fulfillment and knowing one has made the difference they sought out to make which is mostly influenced by being a son, husband, father, and CEO. With an extensive understanding of leadership, oration, and his proprietary technology, Brian expertly navigates through all the processes he and his team have created to ensure success, avoid pitfalls and achieve the highest value for those he works with. Inspired by Brian’s example, his influence gives the perspective to those who have invested in his brand to take time to understand goals, be responsive and transparent in their communications, and earn trust. When two of Brian’s personnel achieved their goals of buying their first home it allowed Brian to see that he and his team built something from scratch that enabled the American Dream to be possible for his people.

Brian has elevated the concept of tailor-made client service in developing a hallmark approach to business centered on personal attention, customized technology, education, and a mentor to mentee revolving door for the utmost success.

In his personal time, Brian enjoys spending time with his family, and says that his favorite job is as a Father and Husband. Brian follows the diligence, love, and culture-building skills that he learned from his greatest influences; his parents. He and his wife, Lori have built a beautiful life with their four children, Paisley, Kingston, Quincy, and Preston and Brian says he has never felt as loved as he does than at the end of the workday when he walks into his house.

Brian has elevated the concept of tailor-made client service in developing a hallmark approach to business centered on personal attention, customized technology, education, and a mentor to mentee revolving door for the utmost success.

In his personal time, Brian enjoys spending time with his family, and says that his favorite job is as a Father and Husband. Brian follows the diligence, love, and culture-building skills that he learned from his greatest influences; his parents. He and his wife, Lori have built a beautiful life with their four children, Paisley, Kingston, Quincy, and Preston and Brian says he has never felt as loved as he does than at the end of the workday when he walks into his house.
