This week we have a great conversation with Derick Van Ness, a tax and wealth strategist and founder of Big Life Financial. We cover Derick's top tips for wealth management (which may surprise you), why you should still look into ERC even if your CPA says you don't qualify, and surprising information on the R&D tax credit and how garage door businesses may be able to qualify for it. To schedule a free consultation with Derick, visit http://BigLifeFinancial.com/torsion

Derick Van Ness is a Tax & Wealth Strategist for Dentists, Doctors, and other
small business owners who are great at what they do, but not as well versed in
the intricacies of taxes and building wealth. He has an uncanny ability to make
complex topics easy to grasp and his clients constantly appreciate his ability
understand the unique needs of being an entrepreneur.

Derick is passionate about helping people get the “money game” figured out so
they can begin living their BIGGEST LIFE as soon as possible. He deeply believes
each person has something unique and valuable to contribute to the world and
his mission is to eradicate money as a barrier to his clients creating a life they
adore.

His team at Big Life Financial uses little known tax and financial strategies to
help clients drastically and legally reduce their taxes and build “money systems”
to ensure they build wealth quickly and safely. The combination of the two can
create exponential results and the confidence that goes along with having a
true plan and knowing how to execute it!

In his free time Derick loves racing sail boats, creating art, west coast swing
dancing, and traveling with his wife Jacqui! He currently lives between Saratoga
Springs UT and San Diego CA after spending 20 years living all across the US
including Washington DC, Brooklyn, Texas and Los Angeles.

This morning Ryan and Tamara are sitting down with GDU member and owner of Value Garage Door Service and Pax Supply, Jesse Redinger.  Jesse and Ryan are both serial entrepreneurs and run several businesses.  Learn about the challenging aspects of running multiple companies, Jesse and Ryan's advice on keeping sane, and why asking what your price should be is a bad idea.

Jesse started VGDS in 2012 after feeling held back while working for a franchised national garage door company.  He underestimated the challenges of running a business; there are so many variables and considerations, especially as you're adding members to the team. But they've turned it into a multi-million dollar business, and the door industry has treated he and his family well, and they've been fortunate enough to be in a position to buy a second company. Pax Supply is a hardware/lumber store that supplies custom lumber packages and materials, and they're also getting into other verticals. Excited to see what the future brings!
