Anne Mahlum built and sold Solidcore, a national fitness empire — and now she’s asking what really matters. After achieving financial freedom following her $100M exit, she’s thinking deeply about what it means to live a rich life. From love and legacy to family, philanthropy and mentoring, she’s considering how to spend, give and structure her wealth to make an impact while she’s still alive. In this episode of What Should I Do with My Money? , host Jamie Roô brings Anne together with Victoria, a Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor, to explore values-based wealth planning, giving while living and how post-exit founders can reinvent their purpose for the next chapter of their life.

DISCLOSURES The conversation in this podcast is solely intended as a case study between a client/prospective client with a Financial Advisor and is not intended to serve as individualized investment or financial advice. No portion should be construed as a recommendation to employ any of the guidance contained within this podcast. Each investor has their own unique facts and circumstances and must determine what is appropriate for their own situation. Participants in this podcast are not compensated and are not affiliated with Morgan Stanley. The views and opinions expressed in this material are those of the speaker, at the time of this writing and do not necessarily represent those of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates or its other employees. Of course, these views may change without notice in response to changing circumstances and market conditions. Furthermore, this material may contain forward looking statements and there can be no guarantees that they will come to pass. The discussion of any securities in this material should not be construed as a solicitation to buy or sell such securities. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and there is no guarantee that any securities mentioned will be held in a client’s account. It should not be assumed that any securities transactions or holdings discussed were or will prove to be profitable. Historical data discussed represents past performance and does not guarantee comparable future results. The information and statistical data contained herein have been obtained from sources that are believed to be reliable but in no way are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC as to accuracy or completeness. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters. Tax-loss harvesting: IRS rules stipulate that if a security is sold by an investor at a tax loss, the tax loss will not be currently usable if the investor has acquired (or has entered into a contract or option on) the same or substantially identical securities 30 days before or after the sale that generated the loss. This so-called "wash sale" rule is applied with respect to all of the investor's transactions across all accounts. Technology stocks may be especially volatile. Artificial intelligence (AI) is subject to limitations, and you should be aware that any output from an IA-supported tool or service made available by the Firm for your use is subject to such limitations, including but not limited to inaccuracy, incompleteness, or embedded bias. You should always verify the results of any AI-generated output. Because this strategy expects to hold a concentrated portfolio of a limited number of securities, a decline in the value of these investments would cause the portfolio's overall value to decline to a greater degree than that of a less concentrated portfolio. Equity securities may fluctuate in response to news on companies, industries, market conditions and general economic environment. Companies paying dividends can reduce or stop payouts at any time. Real estate investments are subject to special risks, including interest rate and property value fluctuations, as well as risks related to general and economic conditions. Private equity funds typically invest in securities, instruments, and assets that are not, and are not expected to become, publicly traded and therefore may require a substantial length of time to realize a return or fully liquidate. They typically have high management, performance and placement fees which can lower the returns achieved by investors. They are often speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors can lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. They may be highly illiquid with significant lock-up periods and no secondary market, can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and the risk of loss, and may be subject to large investment minimums. Any type of continuous or periodic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Since such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities, the investor should consider his/her financial ability to continue his/her purchases through periods of low price levels. Asset Allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining financial markets. Important information about your relationship with your Financial Advisor and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC when using a Financial Planning tool. When your Financial Advisor prepares a Financial Plan, they will be acting in an investment advisory capacity with respect to the delivery of your Financial Plan. To understand the differences between brokerage and advisory relationships, you should consult your Financial Advisor, or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at https://www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf You have sole responsibility for making all investment decisions with respect to the implementation of a Financial Plan. You may implement the Financial Plan at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC or at another firm.

When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Bonds may also be subject to call risk, which is the risk that the issuer will redeem the debt at its option, fully or partially, before the scheduled maturity date. The market value of debt instruments may fluctuate, and proceeds from sales prior to maturity may be more or less than the amount originally invested or the maturity value due to changes in market conditions or changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Bonds are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This is the risk that the issuer might be unable to make interest and/or principal payments on a timely basis. Bonds are also subject to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that principal and/or interest payments from a given investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate.

What happens when one of Google’s top AI strategists also happens to be a yogi, author, and self-described “Happy Human”? In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists’ Summer Series , hosts Timothy Henry and Dev Patnaik speak with Gopi Kallayil , Chief Business Strategist for AI at Google. Together, they explore how businesses can navigate radical uncertainty in an age of exponential technological disruption and why AI should be seen as a tool for human advancement rather than a threat. From Google’s pivots (“search-first” to “mobile-first” to “AI-first”) to lessons on experimentation, failure, and 10x thinking, Gopi pulls back the curtain on how the tech giant adapts in the face of constant change. He also offers a deeply human perspective: blending insights from his books The Happy Human and The Internet to the Inner-Net , his yoga practice, and his spiritual explorations of what he calls AI, NI (natural intelligence), and DI (divine intelligence). This conversation isn’t just about artificial intelligence - it’s about what it means to stay human, conscious, and purpose-driven while riding the waves of disruption. Listeners will gain insights into: Why moments of disruption are opportunities for nonlinear breakthroughs How Google cultivates a culture of experimentation, iteration, and failing well The importance of 10x thinking over incremental improvements Why companies should start with business strategy - not an “AI strategy” How AI is already transforming industries like healthcare, retail, and entertainment What AI, natural intelligence, and divine intelligence can teach us about consciousness Practical steps leaders can take to embrace uncertainty and future-proof their organizations Whether you’re a CEO, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the intersection of AI and consciousness, this episode offers both strategic guidance and soulful wisdom. ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

What happens when AI disruption collides with the urgent need for human-centered leadership? In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists’ Future-Focused Summer Series, hosts Timothy Henry and Dr. Neha Sangwan are joined by Christine Heckart - tech industry veteran, former CEO of Scalyr, senior executive at Microsoft and Cisco, and now founder of Xapa, an AI-powered leadership development platform. Together, they dive into how leaders can guide their organizations through radical uncertainty, exponential change, and the AI revolution without leaving their people behind. Christine pulls from 30 years in Silicon Valley to reveal why 90% of AI transformation projects are failing - not because of technology, but because of people. She explains how leaders must anchor teams in trust, purpose, and psychological safety, while scaling leadership development across every level of the organization. The conversation highlights why human connection, empathy, and conscious capitalism are the real differentiators in an AI-driven world. This is more than a discussion on technology - it’s a playbook for leading with both innovation and heart in a time when businesses face unprecedented change. Listeners will gain insights into: Why most AI transformation projects fail - and how to avoid the trap The difference between trust and psychological safety (and why both matter) Practical ways to stabilize teams during radical disruption How to scale leadership development across every level of the company Why empathy and conscious capitalism are now business-critical skills How CEOs can balance AI-powered innovation with human judgment Why people-first leadership is the key to unlocking AI’s potential Whether you’re a CEO wrestling with AI disruption, a leader striving to build resilient teams, or a founder seeking to combine innovation with purpose, this episode offers a powerful guide to leading with clarity, courage, and humanity in a time of radical change. ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists’ Future Focused Summer Series , hosts Timothy Henry and Dustin Shell sit down with Christopher Stubbs, global thought leader in brand strategy and innovation, and the mind behind Virgin Voyages’ award-winning customer experience. Together, they explore how Virgin reimagined not just the cruise experience for customers, but also the culture for its crew - breaking free from outdated norms of hierarchy, tipping systems, and rigid structures. Chris takes us inside the bold cultural experiments that fueled Virgin Voyages’ launch - from designing a purpose-driven brand to pioneering a fixed-wage compensation model that created unprecedented trust, collaboration, and innovation at sea. His story reveals how organizations can create environments where employees feel secure, valued, and empowered to innovate - even in industries resistant to change. This isn’t just a conversation about cruises - it’s a blueprint for leaders in any sector who want to future-proof their organizations by putting people and purpose at the center. Listeners will gain insights into: How Virgin Voyages broke with industry norms to design a culture from scratch Why traditional cruise ship hierarchies and pay models stifled innovation — and what replaced them The power of purpose as more than words on a slide deck How bold leadership decisions (like eliminating tips in favor of guaranteed wages) unlocked collaboration and psychological safety What it takes to lead with authenticity and courage in the face of uncertainty Practical lessons for building organizations where people thrive and innovation flourishes Whether you’re a CEO navigating disruption, a startup founder crafting culture, or a leader seeking to align purpose with practice, this episode offers an inspiring case study in how to build a truly conscious enterprise. ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists’ Summer Series , hosts Timothy Henry and Kate Adams speak with Michele Zanini , co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Humanocracy and global expert on management innovation.

What happens when a startup dares to disrupt Big Soap—and saves over 190 million plastic containers in the process? In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists , hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia speak with Brad Liski , co-founder and CEO of Tru Earth , the eco-cleaning company revolutionizing the industry with its ultra-sustainable laundry detergent sheets. Brad shares how a side-of-the-desk idea evolved into a $100M+ global brand by leaning into innovation, empathy, and a relentless drive for impact. Tru Earth isn’t just selling laundry sheets - they’re building a movement.

What happens when an organization removes all managers—and proves that freedom and accountability can thrive together? In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists , hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with Doug Kirkpatrick , founding financial controller at Morningstar—the world’s largest tomato processor—and a leading voice in the global movement for organizational self-management.

Listeners will gain insights into: How Morningstar functions without bosses or traditional hierarchy The first-grade moment that inspired Doug’s journey toward self-management The mechanics of dynamic budgeting and decentralized decision-making Why empathy and natural leadership are essential in self-managed teams How self-management fosters agility, resilience, and innovation The personal and societal impact of values-based, self-led systems ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
