I recently spent a full day with one of the healthiest nonprofit boards I've ever seen, spread across the country, meeting mostly virtually, with 100% attendance, full fundraising participation, and zero circular conversations. And by the end of the day, I realized there was one thing this executive director never once did. It's probably the thing you're doing the most. In this episode, I share 7 lessons from that experience that every nonprofit leader needs to hear: from how great board meetings start weeks before anyone arrives, to why connection isn't a nice-to-have but actual infrastructure, to the most common mistake executive directors make that quietly turns their board into their managers. If your board is disengaged, inconsistent, or draining more than it's building, this episode will show you exactly why and what to change starting today.Topics:Why great board meetings start weeks before the meeting, and what an impeccable board packet actually looks likeHow clear expectations create 100% attendance and real accountability, even across a fully virtual boardThe most expensive mistake executive directors make: training their board to manage them instead of leading with CEO energyWhy not every board member's idea should become a strategy, and how to honor input without losing focusWhy the connection between board members isn't a nice-to-have; it's the infrastructure that makes everything else workHow fundraising becomes a culture, not a committee, and what "done" looks like on a high-performing boardFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits like yours.

Hey piggies
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy August!! We're kicking off the new month with a fun exercise: months as days of the week. Alex & Harrison think July is Saturday (aka everyone is in Europe), while Jules says it's obviously Wednesday (linear brain vs. vibes brain we guess lol). Then some real life: the fever made its way from Rocky to Tate, which meant all four of us in one bed by 6 AM and a very high-stakes game of "nobody make a sound." Plus the grandparent gift idea we're recommending for everyone: give the grandkids their parent's old stuff packaged as a gift (Kathi did Beanie Babies on this trip!) Which led us to: is the Princess Diana Beanie Baby actually worth $10K?! (We checked - apparently no, but we LOVE the nostalgia). Then the main topic of the week: invisible postpartum. Alex shares about how when you're out in the world WITHOUT your baby, nobody has any idea what your body and brain are still going through. If you've ever felt this, this one's for you
#1020 He's cleaned trash bins for hundreds of customers and never spent a dollar on business cards — because he'd rather put that money toward getting more clients! In part 2 of this 2-part episode, Bryan Lopez of WashMaxxing returns to break down the business side of scaling a service company: why he ditched monthly subscriptions in favor of prepaid cleaning packages (and how that simple pricing shift boosted upfront cash flow), why he's deliberately avoided branded merch and QR codes until his client base grows, and why he chose a name flexible enough to expand beyond trash bins into pressure washing, window cleaning, and beyond. He also opens up about staying lean without employees, why he's not worried about competition, and his advice for anyone wanting to replicate his success in a different city or a completely different service niche — from lawn care to pet waste removal. Plus, he shares the sales psychology behind helping customers see the value in a service before ever mentioning price. Whether you're mowing lawns or cleaning trash bins, Bryan's playbook for turning a $150 investment into a 10K first month is one you don't want to miss! What we discuss with Bryan: + Prepaid packages over monthly subscriptions + Why he skips business cards and branded merch + Choosing a scalable brand name (WashMaxxing vs. "Bin Bros") + Securing the .com domain immediately + Staying lean: no employees yet + 80% profit margins in trash bin cleaning + Future plans: pressure washing, windows, soft washing + Selling the problem before the solution + Advice for replicating the model in any niche Thank you, Bryan!

Join Aura today: https://app.aura-app.ai/sign-upAt 20, Cameron England built his agency entirely on paid ads. No organic, no posting. $50–100 a day in, clients at around $400, $1,000 up front and $1,000 every month after that."I don't want to be right, I just want to make money."He started posting at 15 documenting a business he hadn't built yet, spent four years in the trenches running a marketing agency for medical clinics, and now runs a second business teaching agency owners the same path.This one is about the mechanics. Why he dropped cold outbound the moment he learned paid. Why organic is what Darren calls "business on easy mode" — and why Cameron thinks depending on either paid or organic alone is a mistake. What actually broke when he poured money into ads: fulfilment, hiring, all of it.If you're running an agency or a coaching business and you're stuck deciding instead of doing, this one's for you.0:00 Why your pain tolerance sets your income ceiling1:12 The popcorn effect — 5 years of nothing, then everything4:04 Student vs expert: which one actually gets paid7:19 Selling vapes at 14, shaving his head at 159:50 Join Aura11:26 How he cracked paid ads and killed cold outbound16:24 Why 90% of beginners stay stuck at $10K a month22:18 Reputation over growth spurts23:58 The offer he refused to scale26:34 The cost of condensing 10 years into 335:41 Turning down $120K a year at 16 on a gut feeling42:51 When Instagram shut him down46:42 Leading by exampleCAMERON ENGLANDYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cameron.EnglandInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamcameronengland/Support the show

Every marathoner fears it: the wall. www.run4prs.comThat late-race moment when your legs feel like concrete, your pace starts slipping, and your brain begins negotiating.But here's the truth:Hitting the wall isn't inevitable — and it's not a test of toughness.In most cases, the wall is predictable. And more importantly, preventable.In this episode, we break down:What “the wall” actually is (and what it isn't)The biggest pacing mistake runners makeWhy fueling timing matters more than most people realizeHow to structure long runs to prepare your body for late-race fatigueThe role of strength and muscular durabilityHow to stay mentally steady when effort rises late in the raceYou'll learn why the wall is usually a fueling and pacing issue — not a character flaw — and how small strategic decisions early in the race determine what happens at mile 22.Key Takeaway:The marathon isn't about surviving the last 10K.It's about earning the right to run it well.If you want to avoid the late-race collapse and finish strong instead of hanging on, this episode gives you the blueprint.Train with intention.Race with patience.And stop treating the wall like a mystery.
82% of top-grossing apps now take payment outside the app store. Patrick Stuart-Constant's team at Sociaaal ships 4,000 video ads a month, scaling to 10,000. The shift to web-to-app monetization isn't coming. It already happened.Part 1 of a two-part panel from a FunnelFox webinar, with Rocketship HQ as partner. Shamanth Rao moderated the conversation with Jacob Rushfinn (CEO, Botsi), Andrey Shakhtin (CEO, FunnelFox), Patrick Stuart-Constant (CEO, Sociaaal), Mike Gadd (VP Customer Success, Singular), and Elise Zareie (Head of Paid Social, Lingokids) on how paid acquisition teams design the path after the click.Andrey Shakhtin on why off-store attribution beats SKAN on speed, and how 2-5% payment fees unlock room to iterate. Patrick Stuart-Constant on scaling ad volume as a search space problem, and why cheaper AI creative grew his team instead of shrinking it (Jevons paradox). Elise Zareie on why web funnels only work with dedicated ownership inside the UA team. Mike Gadd on why the first renewal is the metric most teams miss. Jacob Rushfinn on the $1M revenue threshold before web funnels pay off, and the 10K to 20K monthly loss to budget for the learning phase.Video Chapters:00:00 Introductions and format02:40 The one shift teams have not priced in07:50 Andrey on the 82% off-store payments finding09:52 Mike on measurement across web and app, platform hell11:45 Elise on creative: lift-and-shift vs TikTok-native15:54 Patrick on the search space, 4K to 10K ads a month18:07 Jevons paradox: cheaper ads, bigger creative team19:30 Elise on where AI helps and where taste is still human21:39 What separates web-funnel winners from teams that quit25:27 Andrey on iteration pace correlating with revenue27:00 Who should not try web funnels: payments complexity28:42 Jacob on the $1M threshold and the learning-phase budget29:36 Common learning phase mistakes and how to short-circuit them32:00 Part 2 drops next weekTopics covered:- The shift to web-to-app monetization and off-store payments- AI creative production at scale, 4,000 to 10,000 ads a month- Web funnels: dedicated ownership vs side project- The $1M revenue threshold for going off-store- Learning phase mistakes on acquisition, funnel, and paywall- Measurement complexity across web and appLearn more:- Original webinar recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYPDZlwLhNA- FunnelFox (webinar host): https://funnelfox.com- Rocketship HQ (partner): https://rocketshiphq.com- Jacob Rushfinn (Botsi): https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-rushfinn/- Andrey Shakhtin (FunnelFox): https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrey-shakhtin/- Patrick Stuart-Constant (Sociaaal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-stuart-constant/- Mike Gadd (Singular): https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-gadd-27a16427/- Elise Zareie (Lingokids): https://www.linkedin.com/in/elise-zareie/- Shamanth Rao (Rocketship HQ): https://www.linkedin.com/in/shamanthrao/
Waiting to get paid is costing you your portfolio. If you think cash flow only means that $300-$500 rent check every month, you're leaving money on the table before you even close! I break down fatal financing mistakes #5 and #6 — getting paid on the front end of every deal, and recycling your money so you can buy 10, 20, even 50 rentals off the same lender. I walk through a real deal we just closed: $89K purchase, $150K ARV, and how that structure put $10K in my pocket at closing. Plus the "you can't eat equity" myth that drives me crazy, and how private and seller financing actually work when you know how to recycle the cash. Stop waiting on rent checks to feel the win.

I might be on vacation, but Des and Kara are not! Fresh off her birthday, Des opens the show and is ready to roll. They catch up on July birthdays and life before digging into ALL of the angles of the latest controversial topic in track and field - new "rules" on camera angles for track and field telecasts. This is a topic that is not straightforward, and Des and Kara cover all of the nuances of it. I think you will find their discussion both funny and interesting! What do you think of the new guidelines? Then, they break down some of the key races from USA Champs, spending the most time on the 1500s and 10,000s in particular. It was great to see the events at a new venue in NYC, but was this the right year for a change? All hail Nikki Hiltz and their US title streak! Plus, were the 10K racing styles doing the distance any favors or not? Or maybe it doesn't matter? It was a great year for some fresh faces!

Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved. Pooling Resources for Wealth Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs. Amazon DSP Opportunity Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations. Construction Business Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
$0 -> $100M ARR. How Gamma Scaled Quickly without a Sales Team 100 million in ARR. A team of 50. Zero sales reps. Grant Lee, Co-founder and CEO of Gamma, shares the exact playbook behind one of the most capital-efficient growth stories in SaaS - from pitching investors out of a London kitchenette to going viral with a single tweet that got Paul Graham throwing shade. In this session, Grant breaks down four lessons: 1. Product-market fit isn't a checkbox. After winning Product of the Day on Product Hunt and watching signups plateau, Gamma went back to the drawing board. They gave themselves three months to make the first 30 seconds of the product feel magical - and word of mouth did the rest (5K signups/day, then 10K, then 50K, zero marketing spend). 2. Creator marketing only works if you've done it yourself. Grant went through "Cringe Valley" to understand what creators actually need - then used that to manually onboard every creator partner and build something that felt authentic, not transactional. 3. Community-led growth is literal. At 50M users, Gamma flew power users to SF, visited customers in Seoul, London, and São Paulo, and created a Gambassador Slack where early feedback shapes the product roadmap. Your users are not a faceless entity. 4. Dogfooding the future builds conviction. How Gamma killed their virtual office idea after six months and went all-in on presentations - and why testing your own product is the fastest path to knowing what to build next. If you're building a product-led company and wondering whether to invest in marketing or go back to the product - watch this first.
In Episode 307 of the Better With Running Podcast, original hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman reunite to break down a massive weekend of racing at the Lakeside 10 in Albert Park. Joined by nearly 50 athletes from the Run2PB team, the crew dives into the course conditions and handles a tough, strong headwind that tested runners on the second lap. The episode features an inspiring mid-show segment with coach Matt Davy, who marks his return to the start line after a two-year hiatus caused by atrial fibrillation and an ablation procedure. Davy shares how transitioning to a controlled, high-volume, sub-threshold training philosophy helped him stay healthy, leading up to a 17:01 park run and an impressive 34:18 10K finish at Albert Park. The hosts also share their personal race debriefs, with Chris reflecting on a difficult 38:10 outing where an aggressive start forced him to "fartlek his way home," prompting a shift in focus to the 4km short course at Nationals Cross Country. Meanwhile, Zac details his grit-filled battle cross the finish line in 33:33, before Matt highlights upcoming community events, including a Oat Running shop run in Dromana. The feature interview highlights accountant and runner Lachlan Chisholm, who details his rapid progression under coach Andy Buchanan. Since starting his running journey in 2023 with a 3:11 marathon, Chisholm has dropped his personal bests significantly, including a 2:32 marathon at Gold Coast, a 71-minute half marathon, and a recent 33:04 10K at Albert Park. Chisholm explains how he manages an intense 150km weekly training volume while working a full-time corporate job by commuting to work on foot with a Trailblazer 20L backpack. Looking ahead, he is preparing to pace the Sydney Marathon and Geelong Half before setting his sights on breaking the 2:30 barrier at the Melbourne Marathon.

The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station
875 · The runDisney Companion: Your Race Day Guide from Fantasy to Finish LineBefore sunrise at Walt Disney World, thousands of people round the bend toward Cinderella Castle and fall in love with running in a way most guests never will. That is runDisney - and whether you are eyeing your very first 5K or chasing your next Dopey, there has never been one book to take you from registration to the finish line. Until now.In WDW Radio #875, Lou Mongello sits down with Lisa DiNoto Glassner, founder of The Castle Run, to talk about her brand new book, The runDisney Companion: Your Race Day Guide from Fantasy to Finish Line and Beyond. It is the guide so many runners wished they had - part race day handbook, part love letter to the runDisney community, and part a collection of hard-won lessons that reach far beyond the finish line.Lou and Lisa get into everything that makes a runDisney race work, from the 5K and 10K to the Princess Half Marathon and the full Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. They cover how to survive registration morning, why entering through a charity can be the smartest move, how to start training from scratch, how doable a 5K really is, the one mistake nearly every new runner makes, and why getting to the start line is harder than getting to the finish line. Plus the dozen life lessons at the heart of the book, why the community cheers louder for the last finisher than the first, and Lisa's simple challenge to anyone still on the fence - if you love Disney, you owe it to yourself to do a 5K.There is a powerful personal story behind the book too, one of grief, running as healing, and the courage to walk away from one life to begin another. But at its core, as Lisa says, it is not about running at all. It is about the courage to step up to the starting line, before you know how the story ends.

What does it look like when a nonprofit team thinks like a business, not a charity?In this episode, I sit down with the powerhouse team behind Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center: founder and CEO DiDi Ellis, Director of Development Erica Smith, and Donor Relations Manager Paige Thames. In 11 years, Kids Hub has grown from 1 paid employee to 21, from 1,300 square feet to nearly 7,000, and from grant-dependent to running one of the most creative individual donor programs I've heard of, including a Power of 100 Women giving circle that raised $149,000 this year alone. We dig into how they think about donor acquisition in a rural southern community, why the chicken plant became one of their sponsors, how they tell emotionally compelling stories without ever showing a child's face, and why Paige says fundraisers have the cushiest job in the building and should act like it. This conversation will change how you think about the ask. All of it.Topics:The Power of 100 Women giving circle: from $0 to $149K and how peer-to-peer became their #1 donor acquisition pipelineWhy a chicken plant, a yeast company, and a paper mill are now sponsors, and the mindset that made the ask possibleHow to tell emotionally compelling stories when you can never show a child's face or share specific detailsBuilding donor relationships that go beyond the gift: volunteer days, feedback conversations, and year-round connectionThe relay race model: splitting donor acquisition and donor retention between two people with different giftsWhy DiDi paid cash for a $680K renovation while still raising the money, and what that business mindset means for any nonprofitFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits like yours.

My daughter just started playing tennis, and this week I watched a coach lose a $10K client in one sentence. Not because of price. Not because of skill. Because he said something he didn't actually believe, just to sound indispensable.In this episode, I break down the fastest way coaches lose deals: focusing on selling instead of serving. I share what happened on that court, why prospects can feel it when you're not being truthful with them, and why how you treat someone before they pay you is a preview of how you'll treat them after.If you've ever wondered why a deal that seemed like a lock fell through, this one's for you.BUILD THE PODCAST YOUR VOICE ALREADY EARNED:If you're ready to build a podcast that attracts and converts premium clients while empowering the people you serve.Visit joewintersjr.com/start to book a free discovery call.

How do we raise the standards of the coaching industry? How do we improve the quality of our coaching? How do we make coaching a more trusted & respected industry? Today, we are answering these BIG questions and I'd love to hear your own ideas to these questions too. Join me as I talk about: 1) Why it's SO important to understand that coaching is NOT therapy - we are a different & unique industry, who sometimes serve the same people - but in very different ways and at very different times. 2) Why seeing coaching as a PROFESSION is crucial and how we show up as professionals in an industry that is not currently regulated (as well as my predictions about that for the future). 3) The 5 qualities I personally recommend coaches learn about, practice and develop to safeguard their coaching and contribute to a more trusted & respected industry. 4) The 3 ways we practically develop ourselves professionally as coaches following certification. 5) Why seeing room for improvement is a true sign of a professional, and not something to be ashamed of.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are joined by longtime friends of the show for one of our favorite annual conversations: The 2026 Rexy Run Preview. The Rexy Run 5K & 10K is coming up on August 15, 2026, in Lawrence, Kansas, and this race continues to be one of the most meaningful events on our calendar. Race director Kristina, Erica from Baby Jay's Legacy of Hope, and Colby, the mother of this year's Honorary Rexy, join us to talk about the race, the mission, and the family at the heart of this year's event. Rexy Run benefits Baby Jay's Legacy of Hope, a Lawrence-based 501(c)(3) that helps families with children going through cancer treatment by offering support for real-life needs like gas, groceries, utilities, travel expenses, and more. This year's event brings back the family-friendly race day atmosphere runners have come to love, along with a new 10K course, food trucks, cinnamon rolls, finisher medals, handmade awards, kids activities, and plenty of reasons to make the drive to Broken Arrow Park. But more than anything, this episode is about why this race matters, who it helps, and how showing up for a 5K or 10K can make a real difference for families walking through something no family should have to face alone. Whether you run, walk, volunteer, donate, cheer, or simply help spread the word, Rexy Run is a race worth putting on your calendar. Listen to the episode, hear the story, and then go get yourself registered for Rexy Run.
Ads worked for Kirsten Roldan, thousands of leads from a single launch. Then her ad account got locked overnight with no warning. That moment reminded her of a truth she already knew: if your traffic depends on a platform, you don't own it. So she went back to a funnel she built years ago that quietly made $10K a month powered entirely by SEO.In this episode, she breaks down the two things you need to double your email list with organic search traffic alone.Register for the Passive Profit Webinar with Jannese and Kirsten here:www.saleswithoutsocial.com

We also discuss sleep consistency, post-workout carbohydrate intake, creatine, Nomio, sauna and heat adaptation, occasional "hero sessions," energy drinks, and the importance of considering heart health when using stimulants.

Want to launch a premium, high-margin consumable brand and work with us to bring it to market? Get on the waitlist for our next cohort: ► Capitalism.com Bootcamp: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp I sat down with Djamel, the co-founder of Organifi, who grew a superfoods brand from $1 million to $100 million in about four years. We break down exactly how it happened: a premium, high-margin product, affiliates paid 75% commissions when the rest of the industry paid 5%, customer data poured into Facebook ads, and the team and systems that turned a scrappy launch into a nine-figure business. None of this was an accident. It was manufactured, and you get the whole playbook. (0:00) The $1M to $100M question, with Organifi's co-founder (1:00) Where it started: Drew Canole and the done-for-you green juice (3:00) Going out of business: the data-driven Hail Mary launch (4:00) The decision that set them apart: making it actually taste good (6:00) Sold out in three days, and presales became a crowdsourced capital raise (7:00) Building the whole thing on Infusionsoft, before Shopify existed (8:00) The takeaway so far: build a small audience and aim for a $10K launch (9:00) The first million saves the company, then the audience taps out (11:00) ClickBank comes calling: first supplement, and the launch that blew up (14:00) Influencer marketing before it had a name, and the TikTok Shop parallel (15:00) The 75% commission unlock: pay affiliates like digital, win on the back end (17:00) How aggressive commissions took them to $5 million (18:00) Turning customer data into Facebook ads that scaled them toward $20 million (20:00) Why did everything work? The numbers made sense (22:00) Why margin matters: build a premium brand and race to the top (23:00) The hate for a $70 greens powder, and why premium customers are easier (25:00) Building the movement: community as the premium moat (29:00) From $20 million to $100 million: becoming a real operational business (30:00) Stacking traffic channels, and the podcast-ad advice that opened a new one (33:00) The systems behind the scale: EOS, OKRs, KPIs, and dashboards (34:00) Becoming a leader: from wrecking ball to human (37:00) The two hires that mattered most: his CMO and COO (41:00) Incentive plans: phantom stock valued against the future goal (44:00) Walking away from capital three times, and the "bladder rule of finance" (46:00) The chaos behind the scenes: algorithm swings, lost influencers, tight cash (48:00) Exiting without selling: replacing himself, burnout, and rediscovery (50:00) His $1M-to-$100M playbook: data, team, problem-solving (52:00) The belief you have to manufacture (55:00) Why the entrepreneur bug never leaves DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this podcast and the resources available for download/viewing through this podcast for educational and informational purposes only.
Are you making between $8K and $12K a month... but somehow it feels like no matter how hard you work, you can't break through? You're not lazy. You're not failing. And you're definitely not the problem. In this episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella explains why so many beauty entrepreneurs hit the $10K/month ceiling—and why working harder only keeps you trapped there. Sheila reveals that the problem isn't your talent, pricing, or hustle. It's your business model. If you're the marketing department, sales team, service provider, customer support, scheduler, and CEO all rolled into one, you've unknowingly become the biggest bottleneck in your own business. This episode breaks down the mindset shift every beauty entrepreneur must make to go from being booked and busy to building a business that can scale beyond them. If you're ready to stop trading time for money and start building systems that create freedom, this episode is your roadmap. Because the goal isn't to become a better machine. The goal is to build one.
Nick Komodina built a $500k/month business with zero ads, and he almost didn't live long enough to see it. Nick is a conscious leadership and business mentor, author of Surrender, and one of the most direct voices I've come across on what breaks people once they get what they thought they wanted. The story starts in an Eight Mile trailer park and lands in a backyard with a gun to his head. Between those two points is a version of success most of the online coaching world refuses to talk about. Comfort is expensive. Faith is not certainty. Self-sabotage is a goal in disguise. Nick unpacks all three with the kind of specificity that makes you uncomfortable in the best way. We also have a real conversation about content, being the guide instead of the hero, and why a massive spike in followers didn't move his engagement numbers at all. If you've been sitting on a calling and dressing it up as a strategy, this episode names the game you're actually playing. You'll learn: [00:00] Introduction [3:09] Growing up in a trailer park, and the moment stealing $100 became an identity [7:37] Some people see through the matrix while others stay NPCs forever [12:14] Childhood trauma buries the gift God placed inside you [17:35] The biggest content mistake: positioning yourself as the guide, not the hero [24:31] How desperate people con themselves using scammy coaches as a tool [30:18] The night a voice stopped him from pulling the trigger [35:46] The four pillars of success and why training your weakest muscle matters most [47:44] Coming off TRT and healing gut infections forced him to pull back from business [58:46] Adlerian psychology and why you actually don't want to break past 10K months [1:06:49] Letting the right people opt out is the real content strategy Follow Nick on Instagram for more content on conscious leadership, authentic brand building, and turning big visions into reality.

Let me say it loud for the people in the back. Services are the fastest path to cash, and they always will be. I will die on that hill.In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Fine, a longtime student and Strategist Society member who has been through every phase of business. She started during the pandemic, shut it down for a dream job at Coca-Cola, got discriminated against for being a mom, had her second baby, and relaunched with one goal: pick her son up from kindergarten every single day.She spent most of 2024 chasing the passive income dream and made $500. Then she went all in on services and finished 2025 at nearly $80,000, all while working a full-time job for eight months of the year. This is the real math on services versus digital products, and the framework that scales it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why digital products are never as passive as you were sold, and the two things you need before you build oneThe exact moment services beat a course (and the $500 vs $80K math behind it)The Strategist Trifecta: how to scale past your retainer ceiling without adding hoursHow Samantha signed a new client almost every month at $3K retainers and a $5K ads intensiveWhy being willing to ask questions and be vulnerable is the real growth hackThe discovery call teardown that taught the whole room where deals get lostWhy your business is not your hobby, and the "choose your hard" mindset that changes everythingMentioned in this episode:Strategist Society (apply if you are at $3K+/mo): https://thestrategistsociety.comConversions For Clients (start your ad management business): https://conversionsforclients.comReady to scale past $10K months?If you are already doing $3,000 or more with your service business and you want to be in the room with women like Samantha, head to thestrategistsociety.com and apply for a call.

Most nonprofit leaders play it too safe. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why a little “healthy delusion” might be the missing ingredient in your fundraising and leadership success. You'll learn why being overly realistic can quietly cap your revenue potential, and how the right dose of ambitious, slightly unreasonable belief in your vision can get you into rooms, conversations, and opportunities you didn't think were possible. This isn't about ignoring reality. It's about expanding it.Topics:Defining “healthy delusion”: What it means and why it works for nonprofit leadersBreaking free from playing small: How being “too realistic” keeps you in the same lane year after yearWhy wait for evidence before acting slows your growthReal client wins sparked by leaning into healthy delusionHow to test bigger asks, expand your network, and approach opportunities without self-disqualifyingThis is part two of a two-part mindset series we're re-releasing.

If your business is stuck below a million dollars a month — whether you're at 10K, 100K, or 700K — the reason is one of four things. In this episode, I walk through all four bottlenecks and how to figure out which one is keeping you stuck. I break down why most offer problems get misdiagnosed as ad problems, the exact funnel structure behind $100M+ in sales (it's four steps), the three places your sales calls are probably breaking down, and why delivery is the one that eventually nukes even the businesses that get everything else right. I also give away a free AI tool that will diagnose which of the four is your actual bottleneck. Most coaches think they have 99 problems. You have one: you can't turn clicks into clients at the scale you want. Everything else is downstream from that. "You don't hear the objection as '$10,000 is a lot for a coaching program.' You hear it as '$10,000 is a lot to save my marriage.' And when you hear it that way, the objection becomes absurd."

Honouring your body as a woman is SO important - when you understand what is happening within your body, it allows you to support it. This is the real biohacking! So when it comes to building & leading our businesses - I teach women how to work with their body to design a business that truly allows them to thrive. Today, I'll be introducing you to the most sustainable system, designed by nature herself, we can use within our businesses (and lives) and to support us as women to thrive: the menstrual cycle. I'll also be showing you how you can use this system for sustainable creativity in your business, whether you're experiencing a menstrual cycle or not and even whether you have a female body or not. It was built to sustain arguably the biggest creative project of all - life. We will also touch on peri menopause, menopause, pregnancy & post partum and situations where you are in your menstrual cycling years but are not experiencing a menstrual cycle due to contraception, medication, stress, grief or otherwise. It's important to know how you best operate as a human, and for all the women out there - we have A LOT of negative conditioning to overcome that disconnects us from our bodies. Leading us to push, push, push against our bodies which is what leads to burn out and break down.

SaaStr 869: The Agents #010: How Agents Will Steal Your Customers. Plus: The $10K App Our Agent Replaced in an Hour and the $14 Migration. Agents aren't just automating your work. They're about to start stealing your customers. In this episode, we get into what happens when agents can migrate a customer off your platform for $14 and replace a $10,000 app in an hour - and what that means for how you build, sell, and retain in the age of AI. Plus, Jason goes hands-on as AI VP of Product, using Claude MCP into Replit to ship real features. And we talk about something nobody wants to admit: agent burnout is real. You'll learn: Why the $14 Marketo migration is a wake-up call for every SaaS vendor How a HeySummit customer's $10K app got replaced by an agent - without anyone asking it to What it actually looks like to use Claude as your AI VP of Product in Replit Why agents are creating a new kind of burnout, and what to do about it
In this episode of Business Brain, we get into when to stop using chat and move to Cowork. Chat is a great place to start — it’s just not where we should live. Dave’s signals: more than five back-and-forths, or constantly pasting in screenshots, log files, and PDFs. That’s the tell. Point Cowork at the folder instead and stop copying and pasting. His trick is to ask the chat directly whether it’s time to move, and to have it write the handoff prompt for the Cowork session, since Cowork doesn’t inherit the full context. Flip the default: assume you’re going to Cowork, then convince yourself why you should stay in chat. We also untangle chats vs. projects vs. Cowork vs. Claude Code — and the one real reason to stay put, which is cloud sync across devices. Then Dave walks us through a wild experiment: handing $10K of found money to Claude to run as a 90-day trading portfolio. He planned it in chat with Fable, executed in Cowork with Opus, and let it pick platforms with API and MCP access — Kraken for crypto, Alpaca for securities. It insisted on a seven-day paper trading run first, keys live in a 1Password vault instead of the session, and there’s a kill switch on his phone. No options, so the floor is zero. Whatever happens, it’s tuition. Real story: Claude didn’t earn the money — it just got him far enough through the process to actually collect it. Get out of the chat, and keep living that Charmed Life. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #771 for Casual FridAI, July 17, 2026 00:00:15 July 17th: National Tattoo Day 00:01:26 Defaulting to Claude Cowork instead of Claude Chat 00:10:26 SPONSOR: FanVue.

Get the model and the free AI tools that show you where your business needs attention to reach $100K a month: https://capitalism.com/100K I have two clients who built million-dollar businesses without being famous and without living on their phones. One is a worship pastor selling golf gear to 900 Instagram followers. The other sells dog shampoo and posts a few times a month. In this episode I break down the traffic triangle, the exact model we use to turn a tiny audience into a responsive group of buyers, along with the three rules that make it work: the rule of thirds, the seven-hour rule, and sending all your traffic to an email capture. It only takes 100 to 200 of the right people to make it real.

The hour kicks off with a discussion on how late Labor Day is this year, before hitting on Mardy Fish taking the Tahoe celebrity golf tournament very seriously. Next, ahead of C-Lo's final update, the guys look at a Netflix documentary about a cruise ship that hit a rock and sank, followed by audio of Bryce Harper on playing with Juan Soto, Bruce Beck asking Soto about the Mets' first half, and Ben Rice getting booed at the HR derby in Philadelphia. Then, Mike Francesa explains why he doesn't trust the Jets after a quiet offseason, followed by audio of an angry Steve Somers punching a computer screen. Finally, after the Moment of the Day notes someone no longer having a prostate, the show wraps up with the Norwegian soccer team spending over $10K in Dallas on cowboy boots, hats, and a taxidermy raccoon holding a vodka bottle.
With Boomer out, Gio, Jerry, and C-Lo break down the HR derby, Will Ferrell, and an e-bike PSA that leads straight into Pee-Wee Herman. Next, they recap their own third-place golf finish, look at more derby reactions, and hear from a caller who doesn't have a prostate. The focus then turns to Geno Smith's recent police encounters, Aaron Glenn's defensive pressure, and Gio playing bass on Fire Island. Finally, after reflecting on the rapid passage of time and empty nesting, the guys wrap up with Mike Francesa's Jets skepticism, an angry Steve Somers punching a screen, and a Norwegian soccer team spending $10K on cowboy gear and a taxidermy raccoon.

Fresh off a record-breaking performance at the 2026 Western States 100, Jennifer Lichter joins the podcast to share the story behind one of the most impressive breakthroughs in ultrarunning. Jenn won Western States in 15:28:05, breaking Courtney Dauwalter’s course record in her very first 100-mile race. Just a few months earlier, she won Black Canyon 100K and set another course record in her debut at that distance. In this conversation, Jenn reflects on the race itself, the mindset it took to stay present over 100 miles, and how she handled the pressure of chasing history. She also opens up about her childhood in Colombia, being adopted and moving to the United States, and how those experiences shaped the resilience and gratitude that define both her life and her running. We also talk about training with coach John Fitzgerald, her nutrition strategy, racing after battling a stomach bug just days before Western States, and what comes next as she looks toward the future. Topics covered: Winning the 2026 Western States 100 Breaking Courtney Dauwalter’s course record Running a course record in her 100-mile debut Winning Black Canyon 100K in her first 100K Growing up in Colombia and being adopted Gratitude, resilience, and how hardship shaped her Training with coach John Fitzgerald Racing while recovering from a stomach bug Nutrition strategy at Western States Managing pressure and expectations during a 100-mile race Life in Missoula and training with Nike ACG Looking ahead to CCC at UTMB Sponsors: Goodr Goodr sunglasses are no-slip, no-bounce, all polarized, and actually affordable, with tons of fun styles and colors for summer.
