From the Felt to the Boardroom: How Poker Skills Can Boost Your Career Success | Ep. 289

Dec 28, 202320 min

In this captivating episode, Erin Lydon of Poker Power deals out a hand of wisdom showing how poker strategies can shape your financial and professional world. Learn why folding isn't just a poker move, but a life skill, and how calculating risks can lead to big payoffs both on and off the felt. About Our Guest Erin Lydon is a thought leader, frequent speaker on equal pay and workplace equity, and President of Poker Power. Her passion to lead Poker Power stemmed from her experience working on Wall Street twenty years ago. After learning that she was not being paid the same as her male colleagues, and struggling to find a seat at the table in the male-dominated financial industry, Erin was confronted with the reality of the “force field” surrounding tables of power that keep women from sitting down, playing, and competing equally. Erin discovered poker during this time, and made the connection that learning to think, negotiate and take risks, like a winning poker player, trained her in skillsets that offered a solution for pushing the needle on women’s empowerment in the workplace. Erin now leads Poker Power’s mission to teach one million girls and women how to stack their skills, negotiate, and take calculated risks by gamifying key leadership lessons with poker gameplay. Before joining Poker Power, Erin was the strategic advisor to the management team of Evil Geniuses, a global e-sports organization. She has previously served as an independent corporate director on the boards of Marbles and Roomlinx and began her finance career at JPMorgan. Erin received her MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and BA from Bates College. In 2023, she received the Global Gaming Women “Women of Inspiration–Woman to Watch” award and has spoken on many premier stages including TEDx, Money 20/20 RiseUp, AWS Women’s Leadership Summits, TEDx Talk, Monaco Positive Impact Summit, and many more. Erin serves on the Advisory Board for Money 20/20 RiseUp and was a mentor for SXSW Edu in 2023. Additionally, she is a member of McKinsey’s Midwest Executive Women’s Forum.

Jan 30, 202517 min

In this episode of Money Talk With Tiff, Tiffany Grant is joined by Adam Koos to discuss the often overlooked topic of exit planning for business owners. Adam emphasizes the importance of preparing for the eventual transition of one's business, whether that means selling it, passing it to a family member, or another form of exit. Adam shares that one of the biggest mistakes business owners make is starting too late on their exit strategy. He dives deep into what exit planning entails, how business owners can begin thinking about it regardless of where they are in their business journey, and the critical steps to take. From succession planning, valuation of the company, preparing for potential unplanned events such as illness or disability, to ensuring the business is scalable and attractive to potential buyers, Adam covers key elements that need attention. Through actionable insights and real-world examples, Adam shares why and how business owners should start planning their exit strategy today to maximize the future value and ensure a seamless transition. Check out the full show notes: https://moneytalkwitht.com/podcast-show-notes/business-exit-planning/ Takeaways Exit planning is crucial for business owners, yet many start the process too late. Most entrepreneurs neglect exit planning because they're too focused on daily operations. Starting exit planning early can significantly increase a business's market value and reduce risks. Succession planning ensures that your business can thrive even in your absence or unexpected events. 80% of businesses never sell, highlighting the importance of a solid exit strategy. The earlier you plan for exiting your business, the more options and value you'll have.
