In this episode, Gareth Everard, founder of Rockwell Razors and co-creator and former CMO of Lomi ($100M+ in 2 years), explains why revenue growth can be misleading and what serious DTC operators track instead. We unpack Gareth's 4-lever framework for building a profitable eCommerce business, how to calculate allowable CAC before you truly know LTV, and why relying on future LTV assumptions can quietly break your financial model. We also get into his preference for funding via revenue over venture capital, why bundling often beats subscriptions, and the launch mechanics that helped Lomi generate $3M in its first 72 hours on Indiegogo.   Key Takeaways (00:00) Intro (01:27) Crowdfunding Vs.

The most important work I do every day — the work that built a $100M company — takes about four hours. Not 12, not 16. Four. In this episode, I break down the exact operating system I use to collapse time, why most productivity advice is garbage, and the two things I focus on every single day that change everything. My Daily System (2 Things That Matter) 1. Sharpen the Saw — I protect my morning. No phone, no email, no fires. Meditation, movement, building capacity. By the time I sit down to work, I'm operating at a completely different level than someone who woke up and started doom scrolling. 2. Make the Big Scary Moves — The one or two actions that could change everything but you keep putting off because they're uncomfortable. That's what I do first. Everything else is noise. The BREAD Framework (For Everything Else) Anything that's not sharpening the saw or making big scary moves gets run through BREAD: B — Batch similar tasks together R — Reduce scope or frequency E — Eliminate what doesn't need to happen at all A — Automate anything repetitive D — Delegate anything outside your zone of genius The Conversations You're Not Having The chaos that destroys most businesses isn't the stuff you see — it's the hard conversations you keep avoiding. The underperforming team member, the unhappy client, the problem brewing in the background. Say the thing that needs to be said. Today, not next quarter. "An hour of high-signal work is worth 10 hours of low-signal grinding. That's how you collapse time."

Matthew Medrano shares how Dynamo Capital scaled from a $5M goal to a $100M+ private credit fund by focusing on speed, alignment, and Midwest lending.In this episode of RealDealChat, Matthew Medrano of Dynamo Capital breaks down how a frustrated mortgage broker built a direct lending fund focused on fast funding, flexible terms, and aligned incentives.We cover:Why Dynamo offers 100% loan-to-cost on select fix-and-flip projectsHow they structured their fund without the traditional “2 and 20” modelWhy Midwest lending looks different than Wall Street lendingThe painful lessons from 30 duplex developmentsScaling from a $5M goal to over $100M in just two yearsWhy doing the right thing simplifies decision-makingMatthew also shares how Dynamo uses AI and custom-built tech (including monday.com and in-house development) to free up staff for human interaction — not replace it. The result? More meaningful borrower relationships and better underwriting discipline.If you're raising capital, deploying capital, or borrowing capital — this conversation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how a private credit fund really operates.

What's up folks, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Anthony Rotio, Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop.(00:00) - Intro (01:10) - In this episode (04:05) - Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing Systems (11:05) - Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback Loops (16:10) - The Martech Engineering Talent Gap (19:51) - AI Will Amplify Whoever Has the Cleanest Causal Feedback Loop (29:17) - Agent Context Graphs for Drift Detection in Marketing Systems (31:51) - Humans Will Set Hypotheses, AI Will Accelerates Iteration (35:50) - The Evolution of Retail Media Networks (45:07) - How Commerce Networks Redefine Targeting With Governed Data (48:26) - How Agent to Agent Commerce Operates Inside Marketing Funnels (53:04) - Google Universal Commerce Protocol Explained (54:43) - Personal Happiness System (56:30) - Favorite Books Summary: Anthony traces a path from robotics and computer science to his current role where he approaches marketing as an engineering system. He explains how execution-first marketing stacks weaken feedback loops and fragment data, which slows learning and iteration. He introduces the agent context graph as a causality model that lets AI simulate and predict customer behavior with greater confidence. The conversation also covers retail media networks, first-party data monetization through governed access, and a shift toward zero-to-zero marketing driven by agent-to-agent transactions. He closes by stressing that strong data foundations determine who can compete as marketing becomes more automated and agent-driven.About AnthonyAnthony Rotio is the Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop, where he leads partnerships and builds generative AI product features for marketers, including multi-agent systems, AI-driven audience building, and benchmarking and evaluation work. He previously served as GrowthLoop's Chief Customer Officer, where he built and led teams across data engineering, data science, and solutions architecture while supporting product development and strategic sales efforts.Before GrowthLoop, Anthony spent nearly six years at AB InBev, where he led a $100M owned retail business unit with full P&L responsibility and drove major growth through operational and digital transformation work. He also led U.S. marketing for Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and other brands across music, food, and related consumer programs. He earned a B.A. in computer science from Harvard, played linebacker on the Harvard football team, founded the consumer product Pizza Shelf, and holds a Google Professional Cloud Architect certification.Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing SystemsAnthony's career started far away from marketing. He trained as a computer scientist and spent his early years working with robotics and reinforcement learning. His first exposure to a learning agent left a lasting impression because the system behaved less like traditional software and more like something adaptive. That experience shaped how he would later think about work, systems, and feedback. He learned early that progress comes from loops that learn, not static instructions.That mindset followed him into an unexpected chapter at AB InBev. Anthony entered a world defined by scale, brands, and operational complexity. He treated his technical background like a carpenter treats tools, useful only when applied to real problems. Running marketing across major beer brands taught him how value is created inside large organizations. It also exposed a recurring issue. Marketing teams had ambition and data, but execution moved slowly because ideas had to travel through layers of translation before anything reached customers.That friction became impossible to ignore. Audience definitions moved through tickets. Campaigns waited on queries. Data teams became bottlenecks through no fault of their own. Anthony felt the pull back toward technology, where systems could shorten the distance between intent and action. That pull led him to GrowthLoop, where he joined early and worked directly with customers. The appeal was immediate. The product connected straight to cloud data and removed several layers of mediation that marketing teams had accepted as normal.As language models improved, Anthony recognized a familiar pattern. Audience building behaved like a translation problem. Marketers described people and intent in natural language, while systems demanded structured logic. Early experiments showed that natural language models could close that gap. Anthony framed the idea clearly.“Audience building is a translation problem. You start with a business idea and you end with a query on top of data.”Momentum followed quickly. Customers like Indeed and Google responded because speed changed behavior. Teams experimented more often and refined audiences based on results instead of assumptions. Conversations with Sam Altman and collaboration with OpenAI reinforced that this capability belonged in the core workflow. Standing on stage at Google Cloud Next marked a clear moment of validation.That arc reshaped Anthony's role into Chief Data Strategy Officer. His work now focuses on building systems that learn over time. Faster audience creation leads to shorter feedback loops. Shorter loops improve decision quality. Better decisions compound. The throughline from robotics to marketing holds steady. Systems improve when learning sits at the center of execution.Key takeaway: Career leverage often comes from carrying one mental model across multiple domains. Anthony applied learning systems thinking from computer science to enterprise marketing, then rebuilt the tooling to match that mindset. You can do the same by identifying where translation slows your work, then designing interfaces that move intent directly into action. When feedback loops tighten, progress accelerates naturally.Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback LoopsMarketing organizations generate enormous amounts of activity, but learning often lags behind execution. Campaigns launch on schedule, dashboards fill with numbers, and post-campaign reviews happen right on time. The pattern repeats month after month with small adjustments and familiar explanations. Over time, teams become highly efficient at producing output while remaining surprisingly weak at retaining knowledge. The system rewards motion, visibility, and short-term lifts, which slowly conditions teams to forget what they learned last quarter.Anthony connects this behavior to structural pressure inside large organizations. Quarterly reporting cycles dominate priorities, and executive tenures continue to compress. Leaders feel urgency to show impact quickly and publicly. Compounding growth requires early patience and repeated reinforcement, which rarely aligns with board expectations or career incentives. Short time horizons shape long-term behavior, even when everyone agrees that learning should stack over time.“When you think about compound interest in finance, the early part looks almost linear. People want big bumps now, even if those bumps never build momentum.”Technology choices deepen the problem. Many companies invested heavily in customer data and built impressive data clouds that capture transactions, events, and engagement in detail. Activation remains slow because teams still rely on handoffs between marketing and data groups. A familiar sequence plays out:A marketer defines a campaign and requests an audience.A ticket moves to a data team for interpretation and SQL.The audience returns weeks later.The marketer realizes the audience lacks scale for ne...

Atomic Eagle offers a compelling entry into the uranium bull market, backed by a proven team from Matador Capital—the original architects behind Boss Energy's success and Lotus Resources' recent mine restart. Through a strategic RTO of GovEx Uranium, they've acquired the advanced Muntanga project in mining-friendly Zambia: a 47.4M lb resource at 344 ppm U3O8, with a feasibility study showing robust economics at $90/lb uranium. But the current investment thesis is not that of a mine build story. Atomic Eagle's focus is on aggressive exploration to double resources via a current 50,000m drill program, targeting a 40-100M lb upside which conceptually could see a mega-mine producing 4-5M lbs/year through low-cost heap leaching (90%+ recovery with low acid consumption). Well-funded with ~A$20M cash, Atomic is undervalued when compared, on an enterprise value to pounds-in-the-ground basis, to ASX peers like Deep Yellow and Bannerman. Near-term catalysts: Resource upgrade (early March), feasibility re-release, and exploration drill results. Bonus optionality: Potential recovery of the world-class Madaouela asset in Niger (120M lbs at >1,300 ppm), if current talks with the Niger government are fruitful. In this MSE episode, listen to Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins explain the company's full investment thesis. https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF 00:00 Intro 00:34 Meet Atomic Eagle: ASX RTO of GoviEx & Who's Behind It 01:28 Matador's Uranium Track Record: Boss Energy to Lotus Restart Success 03:12 Why the GoviEx Deal Happened: ASX Valuation Comps & Timing 04:31 US OTCQB Listing: Tapping North American Uranium Investors 06:05 Friedland Connections & Geopolitics: US/China/Russia in Africa 08:26 The Muntanga Project Breakdown: Resource, Tenure & 2025 FS Context 10:08 Growth Strategy: New Drilling, Resource Upgrade & 4–5M lb/yr Heap Leach Concept 12:32 Funding & 2025 Drill Plan: 50,000m Program and Priority Targets 14:15 Zambia Advantage: Mining-Friendly Jurisdiction, Infrastructure & Export Route 17:12 The Niger Asset: Expropriation, Arbitration & Potential Upside 19:27 Near-Term Catalysts + Technical Upsides: Recovery, Acid Use, Permitting 21:42 Wrap-Up, Tickers, and Sponsor Coverage Ahead Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

In this episode of Building Billions, I break down the exact system I used to go from washing dishes in Corvallis, Oregon, to building three companies worth over $100 million each. I reveal the three-part strategy that anyone can apply: model, mimic, and master. You’ll learn why choosing the right example to follow is critical, how to duplicate proven systems, and why mastering those systems through others is the ultimate wealth multiplier. I also dive into how to turn your own skills into a scalable process by teaching others to replicate your success. This is the framework that allowed me to lead massive teams, grow companies to billion-dollar valuations, and build real wealth. If you want to shortcut trial and error, multiply your impact, and create a system that generates results long after you step back, this episode is your blueprint.Support the show: http://cardoneventures.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1272: Uber drops $100M to power up its autonomous future., Tesla's first Cybercab rolls off the line with no wheel and no pedals — but is FSD ready? Meanwhile, the U.S. military airlifts a next-gen mini nuclear reactor.Uber is doubling down on autonomy with a $100M bet on charging infrastructure, aiming to lock in self-driving scale before competitors do. As Tesla, Waymo, and others race for robotaxi dominance, Uber wants to own the backbone.Uber will invest over $100M to build DC fast-charging hubs at autonomous depots and high-traffic “pit stop” locations.Initial rollout hits the Bay Area, LA, and Dallas before expanding nationwide.Uber is partnering globally with EVgo, Electra, Ionity, and others through “utilization guarantee agreements” to accelerate charger deployment.Tesla's first Cybercab has rolled off the line at Gigafactory Texas — a purpose-built robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no human fallback. It's the purest expression yet of Tesla's Full Self-Driving vision… and its biggest bet.Cybercab depends entirely on Tesla's FSD software — the same system currently powering its Austin and San Francisco robotaxi pilots.In Austin, that fleet has logged roughly one crash every 57,000 miles, compared to Tesla's own cited human average of 229,000 miles per crash — raising real questions about Cybercab readiness.Musk says Tesla needs 10 billion miles of data to achieve safe unsupervised driving, a threshold projected around mid-2026 — before additional training, validation, and debugging.The U.S. military just airlifted a next-generation mini nuclear reactor to Utah — the first time a modern modular reactor has flown on a military aircraft. It's part of a broader push to fast-track advanced nuclear for national security and grid resilience.Three C-17s transported Valar Atomics' unfueled Ward 250 reactor to Hill Air Force Base for testing.The system will begin testing at 250 kilowatts and can scale to 5 megawatts — enough to power roughly 5,000 homes.As Utah Gov.

Most companies don't stall before $100M because of strategy — they stall because the founder can't see the business at $100M, and the team feels that ceiling.In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars sits down with Jeb Blount to break down what it really takes to scale: building momentum, moving fast, and replacing “sales heroes” with a repeatable sales system (recruiting, onboarding, ramp time, comp, playbooks, and leadership).

Hotels aren't valued like houses—and that changes everything.Rich sits down with Sujay Mehta, who owns and controls nearly $200M in hotel real estate, to break down how he scaled from zero into branded and boutique hotels across multiple markets. This isn't theory—it's operator-level strategy.The conversation covers the real difference between boutique and branded hotels, how franchise fees actually work, and why increasing net income—not comps—is the key to forcing appreciation. Sujay also explains how small levers like pet fees, amenity fees, revenue management, and operational control can create millions in added value.They dive into why many hotel owners are aging out, how Airbnb regulation is shifting demand back to hotels, and why self-operating gives serious investors a competitive edge.This episode is a practical blueprint for anyone looking to understand how hotels really scale—and where the next wave of opportunity is forming.

Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down YouTuber Markiplier's self-financed horror film Iron Lung, which grossed over $20M (7x its $3M budget) and topped box office charts—without Hollywood backing. Their casual chat celebrates indie success while roasting studio "slop," low actor pay, and why creators with audiences have a massive edge. On this episode we talk about: Iron Lung's unicorn success: $3M self-funded, zero marketing budget, #1 at box office vs. big studio flops Hollywood's shady side: Missing box office charts, low actor pay ($2-5K/episode after cuts), no royalties Creator advantages: Built-in audiences = free marketing; YouTubers like Radio Silence (A24 hits) proving the model Why constraints breed better art: Low stakes, passion projects outperform bloated $100M+ budgets Lessons for creators: Make what excites you; democratized access means anyone can bypass gatekeepers Top 3 Takeaways Existing audiences are the ultimate marketing hack—Markiplier's casual promo beat Hollywood's $50M+ spends. Low-budget passion projects often outperform high-stakes slop because creators prioritize art over profit. Hollywood's math sucks for most: After agents/taxes, "star" roles pay peanuts—build your own leverage first. Notable Quotes "Iron Lung... has already done over $20 million in the box office and has been the number one movie through the weekend." "They just write somebody else... [so] rather than look at it as giving me $2200 an episode, how much money are they putting into marketing the show?" "Stop making [content] like a chore... what would I want to record that would be like a shining light in my calendar?"

In this episode of Building Billions, I break down the single most important skill in business and in life: communication and influence. I didn’t build three $100M+ companies because I was the smartest person in the room. I did it because I learned how to control conversations, handle objections, and get people to say yes. In this episode, I share the four strategies I personally used in every major deal, from raising capital to selling a company for $151 million. You’ll learn the AMA Blueprint for leading conversations, how to turn “no” into opportunity, why silence is one of the most powerful tools in negotiation, and how to control urgency without creating pressure. These are practical tactics you can apply immediately in sales, leadership, interviews, or high-stakes negotiations. If you want more yeses and fewer missed opportunities, this episode is your playbook.Support the show: http://cardoneventures.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Sales POP!, supplement industry veteran John Smiddy (New to Marketers) reveals the strategies behind his $100M+ in client revenue. Key takeaways for 2026:  AI-first optimization: Structure your product data for AI recommendation engines, not just search engines. Consumers are buying through ChatGPT conversations now. Amazon launch strategy: Start on Amazon to build instant credibility and reviews. Smiddy's data shows conversion rates of 5%+ for new brands- better than most DTC sites. Differentiation is critical: Generic formulations fail. Partner with experts to create proprietary blends backed by clinical validation and third-party testing. Balance AI with authenticity: Use AI for research and optimization, but keep your creative human. Customers can spot AI-generated content instantly.

"A lot of good things happen when we grab control of that space between our first in our second thought. There's a lot of gifts that come from just taking agency back over your own thoughts before you act." What happens when we stop trying to manage emotions and start taking responsibility for the space between reaction and choice? In this episode, Heather and Chris Cullen explore a deeper, more grounded conversation about emotional regulation, gender dynamics, and why so many well-intentioned approaches to growth and healing are failing most men. They talk about respect versus control, collaboration versus competition, and how reclaiming agency over our second thought can radically change the way we relate to ourselves, our partners, and our families. This isn't about "fixing" men or "watering down" women; it's about creating environments where both can actually show up differently. What to listen for: ✨ Why men are realizing that the old ways of "managing emotions" aren't working ✨ What makes traditional therapy feminine in a way that doesn't always support men ✨ The men in your life aren't "unmotivated"; they just have different needs "Men want to feel respected, women want to feel admired. Part of the respect is bringing us into the equation versus telling us what to do. Making it pro-social for a purpose bigger than you will help ignite that flame." ✨ How to create space for men to feel respected and supported in their growth ✨ When women reclaim their power, men will naturally show up differently ✨ Shifting into relationship as collaboration versus competition "If you come to me with a chin up and chest out, like, 'You need to do this', you're probably getting it right back. And I don't know that that friction creates a great environment to express or feel." ✨ Your first thought may be reactive, but you're always in charge of your second thought ✨ It's not your spiritual journey to manage your children or partner's experience ✨ Navigating the fear of anger when the men in your life are struggling About Chris Cullen: Chris Cullen is a keynote speaker, author, and founder of Win Within, where he helps people and organizations unlock their best through mindset training.

Entrepreneurship isn't about shortcuts — it's about staying disciplined long enough to create your own luck. In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with Josh Snow, founder and CEO of Snow, for a raw and wide-ranging conversation on adversity, discipline, and what it really takes to build a lasting business. Josh shares how starting his first business at 13 out of financial necessity shaped his mindset, why he bootstrapped Snow into a global brand with over $100M in sales without pulling money out early, and how discipline early in life leads to freedom later. The conversation also explores reinvention, legacy, and why most people quit right before things start working. This episode is for builders who are playing the long game. Topics Covered Why adversity exists at every level of success Burning the boats and reinvesting in yourself Discipline vs. regret — and why discipline always wins How luck is created through preparation Producing vs. consuming in the age of distraction Reinventing yourself without asking permission Transitioning from survival mode to legacy mode Sponsors Are you interested in effortlessly growing your bitcoin portfolio?  ↳Gemini Crypto – gemini.com/card https://gemini.com/card?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=right_about_now&utm_content=host_read Connect & Learn More
