Most small business owners hope for a good year.
The best ones engineer it.

In this Reinstorm Radio episode, host Michael Aguas breaks down the five high-impact moves that consistently separate business owners who survive from those who scale — even in uncertainty.

You’ll learn how to:
• Get financially boring on purpose (and why predictability creates profit)
• Simplify your business to what actually makes money
• Put tax strategy first, not last — before the IRS decides for you
• Build systems that replace you, not just your staff
• Play offense while others hesitate — and win market share

Michael shares real-world lessons from his own best year ever — achieved during one of the most challenging seasons of his life — and explains why great years are a choice, not an accident.

If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or professional who wants to:
✔ Slash taxes
✔ Improve cash flow
✔ Reduce stress
✔ Build a scalable business
✔ Stop reacting and start designing your future

This episode will give you a clear, practical framework to move forward — one deliberate step at a time.

What does it take to build a multi-million dollar financial practice in one of the most competitive markets—starting with no natural network, no “project 100,” and a lot of people telling you you’re too young to make it?

In this episode of Reignstorm Radio, Michael Aguas and Neil Haley sit down with Christian Calabro, founder of Innovative Financial Concepts. Christian shares the real story: humble beginnings, cold-calling grind, learning to “sound seasoned” on the phone, and the mindset shift that helped him stop chasing shiny objects and start building durable trust.

You’ll hear why Christian believes the “code” is never fully cracked—only refined—and the one question CPAs and accountants care about most when you approach them:
“Are you going to take care of my clients?”

Christian also opens up about the moment that turned his career into a conviction: a sudden family loss that revealed the real-world power of proper coverage and planning—why, in his words, the mission is to protect the innocent and serve people who don’t know what they don’t know.

If you’re a business owner trying to save more in taxes, an advisor trying to build a referral engine with accountants, or an entrepreneur fighting through the hardest early years—this episode is your reminder: don’t quit right before the breakthrough.

What if the biggest tax mistake business owners make happens after the deal is already signed?

In this episode of Rainstorm Radio, Michael Aguas and Neil Haley sit down with Todd Bass, a seasoned tax attorney who has helped business owners navigate high-stakes exits, eight-figure liquidity events, and long-term wealth preservation.

Todd breaks down how strategic exit planning — done early — can dramatically reduce capital gains taxes, protect estates, and keep more money in your control instead of going to the IRS. You’ll hear why waiting too long can cost millions, how sophisticated business owners legally defer taxes, and what separates tax filing from real tax strategy.

This conversation is essential listening for entrepreneurs, investors, and high-income professionals thinking about selling a business, exiting real estate, or planning the next phase of wealth.

If you’re serious about slashing taxes at the exit — this episode shows you where the leverage really is.

You had a great year… so why does it feel like the IRS won?

In this episode of Reignstorm Radio, Michael Aguas challenges one of the most common lies business owners are told: “There’s nothing you can do — just be prepared to pay.”

What if that wasn’t true?

Michael pulls back the curtain on why most entrepreneurs unknowingly overpay taxes year after year — not because they earn too much, but because they’re missing a strategy. This conversation isn’t about loopholes or risky tactics. It’s about understanding how the tax code actually works for business owners who plan ahead.

If you’ve ever felt blindsided by a tax bill, frustrated by vague advice, or unsure whether you’re doing things “the right way,” this episode will shift how you think about taxes — and what’s possible when you stop reacting and start planning.

🎧 Listen in to discover why the smartest tax move often isn’t complicated — it’s intentional.
