Millicent and Milo thought buying a home would take months—until they listened to Millicent's mom. With a lease ending and low expectations, they closed on their first home in under 30 days thanks to prep work, a unicorn team, and the confidence to act fast. What started as a casual conversation turned into a life-changing decision for Millicent and Milo. Encouraged by Millicent's mom—an avid How to Buy a Home listener—they reached out with just weeks left on their lease. The result: they closed on a new construction home in under 30 days. In this interview, they walk through the entire process: from discovering they were more prepared than they thought, to negotiating with builders who claimed there were “no incentives,” to how their unicorn team saved them thousands in closing costs and helped them avoid costly pitfalls. They also share practical tips for other first-time buyers—like how to handle earnest money, what radon testing revealed in a brand-new home, and why measuring your laundry space before buying appliances is non-negotiable. This episode is a real-world example of what's possible when preparation meets the right support system—and yes, it all started with listening to mom. “After talking to the unicorn lender, we realized—we were actually ready. That gave us the confidence to go for it.” – Millicent HIGHLIGHTS Why you should never sign in at a builder's office without representationHow they got $10K in seller credits and avoided paying full closing costsWorking with the builder's lender vs. the unicorn lenderWhat radon testing revealed (and why you should always do it)How they managed the buying and moving process in under 30 daysThe importance of not spending any money before closing—even on appliancesWhat they're doing now to prepare for their next home (and investment property)How having a unicorn team made all the difference—even with a builder purchaseConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

Money, Happiness, and the Race You're Actually Running as a Clinic Owner Episode Overview In this episode, Danny shares his favorite book of the year — The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel — and why it hit so hard as a cash-based business owner. He breaks down how money, attention, and expectations shape your happiness, why comparison quietly wrecks clinic owners, and how to use your business as a vehicle for the life you actually want instead of letting it become your whole identity. Key Topics Covered Why money mindset is such a big problem in the PT profession Why Danny recommends Morgan Housel's books to clinic owners "May I Have Your Attention Please?" – how attention drives happiness The danger of comparing your clinic to someone else's revenue Context you never see behind other people's success "The Happiest People I Know" – business as vehicle vs. business as life Trading time for money vs. protecting what matters most Lifestyle creep and constantly moving the goalposts Defining the race you're running and saying no on purpose Why "no thank you" money is real wealth Book Recommendation: The Art of Spending Money Danny highlights The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel as his favorite book of the year and a perfect follow-up to Housel's earlier book, The Psychology of Money. While the title sounds like a pure finance book, Danny and his wife both felt it's really about: How you make decisions around money How those decisions impact your happiness and contentment How self-awareness around money affects your quality of life For clinic owners, it's especially relevant because you're: Charging for your own services Paying staff and managing payroll Using money as a tool for growth, security, and freedom Attention, Comparison, and Feeling Miserable Danny breaks down a section from the book called "May I Have Your Attention Please?", which focuses on how your attention influences your happiness. Example: Your clinic is doing ~$500k a year. You're profitable, love your niche, and like your team and culture. Then you meet another owner doing $2M a year. If you put all your attention on that comparison, you go from proud to deflated in seconds: "I'm behind." "I must be doing something wrong." But you have no idea: What advantages they had going in (investors, family help, safety nets) What trade-offs they made (health, marriage, time with kids) Whether they'd actually trade lives with you If they're at $2M but wrecked their health and relationships, while you're at $500k with strong health and a solid home life, who's really winning? It depends on your values. The point: if you want to stay miserable, keep comparing yourself to everyone else. Business as Vehicle vs. Business as Your Whole Life Danny then shifts to another section: "The Happiest People I Know." The big idea: Your business should be the vehicle that supports the life you want. Most owners accidentally let the business become their life. He gives a simple comparison: Owner A: Works 60 hours/week, makes $300k. Owner B: Works 30 hours/week, makes $200k. Neither is right or wrong. It depends on your season of life and what you value more: extra money or extra time. Questions to ask: Do I want the extra $100k badly enough to trade 30 more hours a week? What am I saying "no" to when I say "yes" to more growth? Is this growth actually changing my life in a meaningful way? Lifestyle Creep and Moving the Goalposts Danny explains how success usually comes with two hidden traps: Lifestyle creep: As you earn more, your spending grows to match. Constantly moving the goalposts: Every time you hit one target, you immediately raise the bar. Result: you feel like you always have to keep saying yes to more growth, more risk, and more time in the business just to sustain a lifestyle you drifted into. Instead, he challenges clinic owners to: Define a clear income and lifestyle goal on purpose. Live below that level even as income grows. Build "no thank you" money – enough margin to say no to opportunities that don't fit. Run Your Own Race Danny uses a running analogy he often shares with PT Biz clients: If you're running a 10K and someone else is running a marathon, your paces and training look different. You can't compare your numbers and expect them to match. In business: Some owners just want one great clinic that they keep for decades. Others want a multi-location platform they eventually sell. Neither is better. But if you don't know which race you're running, you'll: Say yes to things that pull you away from what matters most. End up living a life you never intentionally chose. Big Takeaways Money is a tool, not a scoreboard. Your attention determines how happy or miserable you feel about your progress. Success without alignment can feel like a trap. Define your race, your goals, and your trade-offs on purpose. Real wealth is the ability to say "no" and still be fine.

Most land investors stop at wholesaling and leave millions on the table. Cody Bjugan shows us a different path—land entitlements. He takes raw land, gets it approved for development, and sells to national builders for $10K to $100K per lot. No construction, no tenants, just bigger paychecks. The catch? It takes 2+ years, not 30 days. But if you're ready to level up from quick flips to real wealth, this is your playbook.   Learn more at vestright.com/jack  

Every episode of season seven asked the same question: what advice would you give a SaaS founder who is just starting out and aiming to go from zero to 10K MRR? This summary brings together the most practical and battle-tested suggestions from dozens of founders, operators, and go-to-market leaders. The focus is squarely on what works early on—how to find your first customers, validate demand, price correctly, and build momentum without burning too much cash. Across the conversations, certain patterns emerged repeatedly, alongside a few conflicting insights that provide nuance. The episodes cover founder-led growth, go-to-market motion, pricing tactics, product-market fit, and building early traction, all directly from people who have done it. If your goal is 10K MRR for a B2B SaaS, this is the guidance they shared. And once you get there, the next episode in the series digs into the leap from 10K MRR to 10 million ARR. For now, here is the zero-to-10K playbook, as told by the guests.

If you're worried you're behind on year-end fundraising, take a breath; December isn't over. In fact, the most generous days of the year are still ahead.In this episode, I break down the three hidden psychological reasons donors give again before year-end, even if they've already given this month. I go deep into donor momentum, identity and reciprocity, and why “donor fatigue” is one of the biggest myths in our sector. You'll learn how to use progress updates, public-facing goals, segmentation, tailored messaging, and consistent communication to activate second gifts without feeling repetitive or overwhelming. If you've been worried about asking again or feeling late in the game, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and data-backed strategy to finish the year strong.Topics:Why December remains the most generous month of the yearThe psychology behind donors giving twice in a short windowHow the Zeigarnik Effect makes donors want to “finish the goal”Why public-facing goals and progress bars dramatically increase conversionsHow donor identity and reciprocity activate second giftsThe myth of monthly donor “offense” and why you should ask them againWhy internal fatigue is misinterpreted as donor fatigueHow staying visible sustains momentum (and silence breaks it)Why December 31 outperforms GivingTuesday nearly 3:1The importance of resending emails to non-openersFor 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 deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Fitz Koehler fires up a fast, fun recap of the Enmarket Savannah Bridge Run — from the iconic almost two-mile bridge crossing to the sneaky double-pump challenge that made legs question their life choices. The 5K and 10K routes delivered drama, grit, and plenty of personality. Expect rain-soaked race-day chaos, pace-vehicle shenanigans, shout-outs to co-announcer Ginger, an unforgettable first-time 5K finish, and age-defying performances that'll make you rethink what's possible. Toss in outrageous costumes, clever Savannah flavor, and a few bossy-but-helpful health notes, and you've got a recap that runs as hot as the race itself.

In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey continues the conversation with a dozen successful women from the CMOx accelerator boardroom. This is part two of a webinar series where these fractional CMOs get real about building six-figure practices on their own terms.   These aren't beginners. These are women commanding $10K+ monthly retainers, managing teams of 30+ people across multiple clients, and turning down full-time job offers even when they didn't have paying clients yet. They come from automotive, financial services, SaaS, climate tech, life sciences, and consumer brands.   The conversation digs into pricing psychology, imposter syndrome, getting ghosted by prospects, why portfolio obsession is a waste of time, and the counterintuitive truth that higher-paying clients are actually less demanding. Casey laser coaches through some tough questions about what's really holding people back from charging what they're worth and claiming the expert position they've already earned. Key Topics Covered: -Why higher-paying clients are less demanding and require less "keyboard time" while creating bigger impact -Stop competing on price—establish your rate and find clients who pay it, not clients you have to convince -Corporate conditioning taught you the finish line always moves—fractional work means you set the standards -You're not competing with other fractionals—your success lives in relationships with 20-50 people over your lifetime -Getting ghosted isn't personal until they explicitly say no—keep following up with creative persistence -Pitch decks are overrated—sell the bespoke solution, not a menu of services -Some deals close in a day, others take a year of showing up consistently in someone's world -Who's a good fit: committed, coachable, vulnerable people willing to do the work and hear no​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What does it actually take to grow a business in 2026, especially when the algorithm changes daily, your niche feels crowded, and you're trying to scale without burning yourself to the ground? Today, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and mentor Jasmine Star for a raw conversation on marketing, mindset, and what it really looks like to build an empire with intention.   Jasmine pulls back the curtain on her journey from law school dropout to wedding photographer to multi–seven-figure CEO, sharing the exact principles she uses to help women hit consistent 10K months and beyond. Together, they break down why messaging matters more than ever, how niching is non-negotiable, and why selling gets a whole lot easier when you stop trying to be palatable and start being you.   They also dig into the biggest marketing trends coming in 2026, from the rise of "entrepreneurs with influence" to the shift toward one-to-one responsiveness and why being interesting (not just informative) is now essential for growth.   This conversation is equal parts strategic and soul-level—exactly what you'd expect from Jasmine. If you've ever wondered how to market smarter, stand out in a noisy digital world, or take action without waiting for everything to feel "perfect," this episode will light a fire under you.   Tune in to hear: How Jasmine went from zero camera experience to building a six-figure business in a year The three biggest mistakes keeping women from consistent 10K months—and how to fix them Why "messaging, niche, and sales" are the holy trinity of business growth The 2026 trends every entrepreneur needs to know (including the 3 R's: Royalty, Responsiveness & Random) Jasmine's unconventional approach to burnout—and the surprising mindset shift that pulled her out of it What it really looks like to build authority online without pretending to love social media   Connect with Jasmine: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminestar/   Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy   Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

Almost everyone in the online business space hopes to reach the elusive $10k per months income level, but "mindset" alone won't be the thing to get you there. Yes, how you see your business matters, but your mindset is shaped far more by the actions you take than by journaling, affirmations, or waiting to feel ready. The real shift happens when you start acting as if you're already at the next level: making decisions that feel uncomfortable, investing before it feels safe, setting boundaries, raising prices, building infrastructure, and stepping into leadership before your brain is fully on board. If you want 10K months (or any next-level result), stop asking how to think your way there, and start asking what the version of you who's already there would do. Then, go do that.   Join The Strategy Lab! https://www.jillfitprograms.com/the-strategy-lab   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Can you build healthspan in your 50s, 60s and beyond? In our episode 239 conversation, Jeff Weiss says yes—and he's got the miles to prove it. After his first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman triathlons, discovering how structured training within smart guardrails, and the right mindset can unlock cardiovascular fitness, strength, confidence, and cognitive resilience in midlife. We explore practical ways to get started (and keep going), how to balance discomfort vs. danger, and why setting "big, hairy, audacious goals" fuels transformation far beyond sport. Jeffrey Weiss is an entrepreneur, former C-suite leader with a multi-billion-dollar exit, endurance athlete, and author of Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Midlife. Starting with a first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultras, and Ironman Arizona, discovering that well-designed guardrails, progressive overload, and recovery can unlock performance and vitality long after 50. He now shares science-informed, experience-tested frameworks that help midlife adults build cardiovascular fitness, strength, and confidence—without heroics or burnout. Jeff speaks and writes about the mindset that sustains big goals (BHAGs), how to distinguish discomfort from danger, and why consistent training ripples into career resilience, cognitive sharpness, and everyday joy. Timeline: 00:30 — Why healthspan (not just lifespan) matters Framing fitness as a primary lever for aging youthfully. 04:26 — Discomfort vs. danger Learning to distinguish healthy challenge from true risk as we age. 07:23 — Mindset & motivation that stick Races, structure, coaching, and the post-workout "well-being effect." 10:03 — Cardio, strength, and bone health in midlife Cross-training (run/cycle/swim + lifting) to support VO₂, muscle, and bone density. 15:09 — Confidence, cognition & BHAGs How audacious goals translate to business grit and everyday resilience. 25:37 — Guardrails for beginners 50–70+ Start simple, find what you enjoy, build gradually, and use "conversational pace." 33:55 — Injuries & prevention Early warning signs, backing off, and proactive physio to stay in the game. 35:05 — One big takeaway If you care about healthspan, make fitness a non-negotiable habit.   Download your gifts: Mind and Memory Boosting Strategies Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download your gifts: Download Guide to Nature's Colourful Antioxidants.

The holidays are here, the cards are swiped, and a lot of you are sitting there doing the math you've been avoiding all year. In this 12 Days of Giving episode, Daniela shares the story of a single mom in Richmond, Virginia who was one denial away from a full breakdown: new apartment, two little girls, $10K in credit card debt, and zero clue how to keep from getting evicted again. This isn't a cute budgeting story. This is “I'm at the edge of the cliff and I don't know what the hell to do next.” Daniela walks us through how she sat down with this mom and started at the absolute basics: what a budget actually is, what savings actually means, and why pulling your credit report is non-negotiable even when you're terrified of what you'll see. When they pulled it, the truth hit: multiple cards, sky-high APRs, and $10K of debt that her paycheck could not support.But here's where it flips. Instead of shame and “you're bad with money,” they built a plan: lay out every card, every APR, every balance. Tackle the ones that give you the biggest win fastest. Call the creditors and tell the damn truth about what's going on. Negotiate. Get the APR down. Build short-term and long-term wins so she's not just surviving the month, she's rebuilding her life. And they did one more powerful thing most people skip: they brought her two little girls into the conversation and turned money into a game, not a threat. We also dig into the emotional side: what it feels like to be at the edge versus already over it, why people wait until the last possible second to ask for help, and how involving your kids can actually speed up your own mindset shift. Daniela talks about using vision boards, values, and real talk to anchor someone before you ever touch the spreadsheets. Because if your head is still in “I'll never get out of this,” no plan will save you. Then we turn the camera on you. If you're approaching the edge, standing on it, or already hanging off financially, this episode is your wake-up call. Daniela doesn't sugar-coat it: it's never too late, but it is on you. No one is coming to fix this for you. Small wins, boring habits, and asking for help early is how you change the story. I close the episode by calling out exactly what we all know: you just spent a ton of money on the holidays, you're feeling it, and now is the moment to move—not “next year,” not “when things calm down.”This is one of our 12 Days of Giving episodes running December 12–23, where we highlight real stories, real mess, and real ways forward.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Run Strong Run Podcast, I sit down with new marathoner and mom of two, Vicky Hurd, a.k.a. @marathonmamav, who went from zero running routine to 26.2 miles at the Every Woman's Marathon in just over a year.Vicky shares how she went from running eighth-grade cross country “just to make the soccer team” to becoming a runner again after kids, inspired by everyday runners she saw online. We talk about her decision to run one race every month, the brutal first half marathon that almost broke her, and how she turned that experience into a full-hour PR at her next half simply by trusting her plan.We also dive into what it's really like training for a first marathon as a full-time working mom with a 3-year-old and 18-month-old, why she did most of her early miles on the treadmill out of fear and embarrassment, and how community—online and in person—carried her through the hardest miles of race day in Scottsdale.If you've ever wondered, “Can I really do this?” when it comes to a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon, Vicky's story will feel like a permission slip to start scared and show up anyway.In this episode, we talk about:How Vicky went from “not a runner” to racing every month for a yearThe couch-to-5K journey that turned into multiple half marathons and a fullThe disaster first half marathon that taught her to stick to her planWhy she spent four months running only on the treadmill before braving the parkTraining for a marathon as a working mom of two small kids (4 a.m. alarms and all)The emotional highs and lows of the Every Woman's MarathonVicky's go-to gear and fuel: Goo Tane, Bonk Breaker chews, and Brooks GlycerinHer advice to anyone afraid to take the first step: “Do it scared.”

What happens when a career-ending injury becomes the catalyst for a completely new life?

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Sam Preston — CEO of Service Scalers — to talk about the marketing asset that still quietly outperforms everything else in home services: your Google Business Profile (GBP). John and Sam break down why AI hasn't disrupted GBP the way people expected, how Google reviews are now getting pulled directly into AI search results, and why “map pack visibility” remains the cheapest, highest-intent lead source in the game.They get tactical on what actually drives rankings and calls in 2026. Sam lays out the three biggest needle-movers — proximity, category/keyword strength, and reviews — and John shows how Wilson Companies invests roughly $10K/month into GBP because it drives roughly $500K/month in sales. They go deep on why location is a marketing decision, how to scale multiple profiles without overlapping service areas, and why most owners waste time optimizing tiny details before locking in the fundamentals.If your LSA performance is lagging, your organic lead volume feels capped, or you're planning multi-location growth next year, this episode is the blueprint for turning GBP into a compounding growth engine.What You'll LearnThe 3 ranking drivers that matter most: proximity, primary category, review cadenceWhy location is a marketing decision (and how it changes growth overnight)How to scale multi-trade businesses without confusing Google's category systemThe real review strategy: frequency, volume, quality, and photos

Welcome back to the Tandem Talk Show with Coach G — in this inspiring episode we welcome returning guest Elaine (previously featured on episode 138) to share the next chapter of her transformation. Elaine candidly walks through the major obstacles she faced before joining Tandem, including surgical menopause, a Hashimoto's thyroid diagnosis, vitamin deficiencies, and a severe car accident that left her in a wheelchair for 10 weeks. Despite these hurdles, she describes how she lost over 50 pounds through Tandem's coaching and structured programming. Coach G and Elaine discuss the phases of the program she completed — fat loss phases and the Metabolic Reset Phase (MRP) — and how MRP helped reignite her metabolism, increase calories strategically, build muscle, reduce hunger, and make the weight sustainable. Elaine credits Coach Gus for rebuilding her confidence and making exercise enjoyable, and she describes how movement, strength training, and better nutrition reshaped her body and life. The conversation covers practical changes that produced results: simple, trackable daily goals (calories, protein, water, steps), accessible workouts (starting from home and progressing to the gym), meal strategies and prep, and the mental shift from “living to eat” to “eating to live.” Elaine also reflects on the unexpected social and emotional benefits — new friendships, increased energy, improved cardiovascular fitness, and even signing up for a 10K. This episode offers encouragement and clear takeaways for listeners, especially women navigating menopause or thyroid issues who feel weight loss is impossible. Elaine emphasizes readiness, self-investment, following a coach, and small consistent steps. Coach G closes by inviting listeners to reach out to learn more about Tandem's Metabolic Reset Program; you can contact Garrett at garrett@tandemnutrition.com for a free call to discuss goals and whether the program could be a fit.

It's on deck with Eddie Tiozzo—age 52, former water polo player, and PhD in exercise physiology—to unpack how smart training, strong shoulders, and a dynamic mindset can carry you through decades in the sport. Eddie's story moves from Croatia and Italy to Florida pool decks as a member of Swim Ft. Lauderdale Masters, and along the way he shows how curiosity and consistency beat rigid formulas every time.We dig into his favorite events—the 100 back and 100 IM—and the weekly plan that keeps him fast and healthy: four swims of 3–4.5K, two focused gym sessions, and one stretching session. Eddie breaks down why “broken,” varied sets trump cookie-cutter 10x100s, how to use bands effectively without ignoring weights, and the power of alternating lighter, high-rep days with heavier, low-rep sessions. If pull-ups are out of reach, he shares a scalable assisted variation that builds true pulling strength for better catch mechanics, stronger starts, and shoulder resilience.Beyond sets and reps, Eddie opens up about earning his PhD later in life, tackling an open water 10K as a dedicated sprinter, and why community keeps him coming back to the blocks. We swap notes on Federica Pellegrini, reading real books, and the quiet discipline that turns good habits into lasting performance. Whether you're chasing a Masters best time, trying to stay pain-free, or craving a fresh training spark, you'll find practical ideas you can apply at your next practice.If this conversation gave you a boost, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review on Apple to help more swimmers find us.

Zelensky met with Macron, Merz, and Starmer to align Europe's position on Ukraine peace talks. The message? If the U.S. steps back, Europe is ready to step up. Macron spoke of “convergence” between Europe, Ukraine, and the U.S., code for: we're not waiting for Trump. Starmer promised “a just and lasting settlement.” Merz framed Ukraine's future as “the destiny of Europe.” This isn't just about Ukraine anymore, it's about Europe's ability to act without Washington.aa the subtext is clear: Europe knows Trump may walk away, and they're preparing for it. Ukraine is only part of the equation, the real test is whether Europe can act without Washington.

A group of former FBI agents has filed a lawsuit against Director Kash Patel and the federal government after being fired for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. The dozen agents complained that almost immediately upon becoming director of the bureau, Patel began working to terminate all agents who had kneeled in support of the movement. The lawsuit also claims the agents would not have been fired had they had the same perceived political affiliations as those involved in the January 6th protests. Source: thegatewaypundit.com The FBI, as a U.S. federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Justice (DOJ), is required to maintain political neutrality and impartiality in its operations and public actions. It does not take official political stands or engage in activism, as its mission focuses on enforcing federal laws without partisan bias. Individual FBI employees (including agents) are subject to strict restrictions under the Hatch Act, which prohibits most forms of partisan political activity to ensure a neutral federal workforce. FBI personnel are classified as “further restricted” employees, meaning they face additional limitations compared to most other federal workers. Key Prohibitions for FBI EmployeesThese apply at all times (on or off duty) unless otherwise noted, with the goal of preventing any appearance of political influence or coercion: Taking a partisan political stand: They may not endorse or oppose candidates for partisan office or political parties in advertisements, broadcasts, campaign literature, speeches at partisan events, or similar materials if done in coordination with a candidate, party, or partisan group.     Pushing partisan activism: Active participation in partisan political management or campaigns is banned, including organizing rallies/caucuses, promoting/selling tickets to fundraising events, addressing partisan gatherings in support of/opposition to candidates, or driving voters to polls in coordination with partisan entities. They cannot use their official authority to interfere with elections or solicit/discourage political activity from individuals with business before the DOJ/FBI.

The blowback is now financial as well as legal. https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/1998354564790284308?s=20 notice. 18 of them are still actively covered. September 2025. Monthly payout: over $10,000. GAO’s just…monitoring them. Because apparently nobody at HHS has. No SSN? Fine. No proof of citizenship? Whatever. No income documentation? Come on in. GAO literally wrote in their report: “[We] did not provide documentation yet received coverage.” They’re not even hiding it – they got benefits with nothing. The system just said yes. Now check the real-world damage. In 2023, 29,000 Social Security numbers somehow got used for multiple full-year coverage plans. By 2024? That jumped to 68,000. Someone’s running the same number through the machine twice, three times, however many times it takes, and the alarms aren’t going off. Then there’s the $94 million that went to dead people in 2023. Not “accounts tied to people who died recently and the paperwork hasn’t caught up” – straight up deceased recipients. Death certificates filed, funerals held, checks still clearing. But here’s the really wild part: GAO tried to track $21 billion in subsidies from 2023 back to actual Social Security numbers. Couldn’t do it. 21 billion dollars just floating out there with no clear connection to who’s supposed to be getting it. The system allows multiple enrollments per SSN “to help ensure actual SSN-holder can enroll in cases of identity theft or data entry errors.” In other words: we built in workarounds so generous that fraud looks identical to legitimate use. Now Congress is fighting over whether to extend these enhanced COVID subsidies past December 31. Cost to keep them? $30 billion annually. 24 million people enrolled, over 90% getting subsidies. Without extension, premiums spike overnight and 22 million people might lose coverage. Republicans looking at GAO’s findings saying: this is exactly why we shouldn’t pour another $30B into a system that can’t tell fake accounts from real ones. Democrats saying: you’re going to kick 22 million people off insurance because less than 1% is fraud? Both sides kinda have a point. Yeah, the fraud’s under 1% of total enrollees. But when you’re burning $30B yearly and literally cannot verify where $21B went, “less than 1%” stops sounding so minor. Senate vote coming this week. Expected to fail. Which means scramble for short-term extension, fight continues into 2026 budget battles, and absolutely nothing changes about fraud controls. Because here’s what nobody wants to say out loud: the system isn’t designed to catch fraud. It’s designed to maximize enrollment. When your mandate is “get people covered,” asking too many questions becomes the enemy. Verification slows things down. Documentation creates barriers. Better to let a few fake accounts slip through than risk denying real people who need coverage. So GAO’s 18 fictional enrollees will keep collecting their $10K monthly until someone at HHS manually shuts them down. Which requires someone at HHS to actually read GAO reports. Which requires someone at HHS to care more about fraud than enrollment numbers. Don’t hold your breath. By next year, GAO will run the same test. Find the same results. Write the same warnings. And Congress will have the same fight about whether feeding money into a system that can’t track where it goes is compassionate policy or expensive theater. Meanwhile, somewhere in America, a completely imaginary person just got their subsidized premium renewed for 2026. https://twitter.com/chad_mizelle/status/1998194850324222006?s=20  clown show.

And by the way, Democrats have violated blue slip!” Susie Wiles: Trump Will Campaign for 2026 Midterms ‘Like It's 2024 Again' White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles revealed that President Donald Trump will get out and “campaign like it's 2024 again” for the 2026 midterm elections. Wiles went on to explain that “in the midterms, it's not about who's sitting at the White House,” but about localizing the election and keeping “the federal officials out of it.” “We're actually going to turn that on its head,” Wiles shared. “And, put him on the ballot because so many of those low propensity voters are Trump voters. And, we saw, a week ago Tuesday, what happens when he's not on the ballot and not active. So, I haven't quite broken it to him yet, but he's going to campaign like it's 2024 again.” Source: breitbart.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

The Colorado fix and flip market heading into 2026 looks nothing like it did two years ago. Properties are sitting 3-4 months after sellers reject offers just $10K below asking. That holding cost easily burns through any price difference, yet flippers keep making this mistake. Meanwhile, some investors are closing BRRRRs in Boulder at $1.4M ARV that actually cash flow with $7,500-8,000 monthly rents. Chris Lopez sits down with Caitlin Waldschmidt, 9-year private lending veteran with Dynamo Capital, who originates loans across Colorado and nationwide. Caitlin has closed everything from small flips to large multifamily, giving her a front-row seat to what’s working and what’s failing in the Colorado fix and flip market as we head into 2026. She recently helped a builder pull $700K in cash out from five townhomes with negative DSCR by structuring the deal strategically, and she’s watching investors gear up for spring 2026 by buying now during the best acquisition window of the year. This episode reveals specific trends shaping the Colorado fix and flip market for 2026, including why “flipper gray” design is dead, which properties have “buts” that kill sales, and how the market rent appraisers assign can make or break DSCR loans. Caitlin shares a Boulder BRRRR case study where investors buy off-market at $700-900K, add $150-200K in rehab, and refinance at $1.4-1.5M ARV while securing long-term tenants at premium rents. She also breaks down two exit strategies for distressed builders stuck with unsold inventory and explains why some can be saved while others have zero equity to work with. In This Episode We Cover: Why properties listed in summer 2025 are still sitting after rejecting first offers (and what that costs in the Colorado fix and flip market) The “buts” that kill deals – busy roads, power lines, and industrial neighbors buyers won’t overlook anymore How to BRRRR in Boulder at $1.4M+ ARV and actually cover debt service with $7,500+ rents $700K cash out strategy for builder with five townhomes and negative DSCR numbers Portfolio approach: Using 40-50% LTV properties to save negative cash flow new builds Why investors are buying 5-6 deals before year-end to position for spring 2026 Best buying window is Thanksgiving through New Year’s when sellers get desperate Englewood flip appraises $100K higher than projected $1.3M ARV (closed in 5 days) Whether you’re a flipper watching inventory sit, a builder needing an exit strategy, or an investor looking for what’s actually working in the Colorado fix and flip market heading into 2026, this episode delivers concrete examples of deals closing right now. Caitlin provides the lender’s perspective on why some properties move in days while others sit for months, and shares specific strategies to position yourself for success in 2026.

Major gift fundraising is where many nonprofit leaders freeze, but not because they lack passion or skill. The fear lives in the body, the brain, and the stories we tell ourselves long before we walk into the room.In this episode, I'm joined by Nathan Ruby, Executive Director of FOTCOH (Friends of the Children of Haiti), one of the rare EDs who has raised millions of dollars from individual donors, not foundations. Nathan brings 20+ years of experience in major gifts, donor psychology, cross-cultural fundraising, and what it actually takes to have confident, courageous donor conversations. Together, we discuss the neuroscience behind fear and rejection, how imposter syndrome shows up during big asks, why culturally we struggle to talk about money, and why donors actually want us to be honest and direct. If you struggle with fear, freezing, or overthinking around major gift asks, this conversation will change how you fundraise forever.Topics:Why major gift fear is not a personality flaw,  it's neuroscienceHow to reframe donor conversations by focusing on the people you serveWhy donors are used to talking about money (and why you don't need to be scared)The science behind rejection and why “no” activates the same regions as physical painNathan's background in sales and how it shaped his fearless fundraising mindsetHow to use donor questions to inform the right ask amountWhy genuine honesty is more magnetic than a perfect pitchWhy your donors want you to win and how to invite them into partnershipFor 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 deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, a dozen women from the CMOx accelerator boardroom come together to share their real experiences building successful fractional CMO practices. This is part one of a two-part series that started when member Courtney challenged Casey's solo episode—pointing out there was a whole perspective he couldn't see. These aren't theoretical success stories. These are women pulling in $10K+ per month in recurring revenue, with at least two hitting $50,000 months in November. They come from wildly different backgrounds: automotive, financial services, SaaS, climate tech, life sciences, and consumer brands.    The group dig into what it's actually like—the double standards, the over-apologizing, the tendency to work above contract and undercharge, the corporate conditioning that taught them to fight for a seat at the table and then second-guess everything once they got there. But this isn't a grievance session. It's about what's possible on the other side: no politics, choosing your clients, charging what you're worth, and showing up as the expert you always were without making yourself smaller. Key Topics Covered: Why women undercharge and go "far above and beyond" contracts—and the conditioning behind it -The "too direct" double bind: male colleagues say it, they're leaders—you say it, you're a bitch  -Your ideas get ignored until a guy repeats them five minutes later -Why clients let fractionals challenge them but shut down internal employees saying the exact same thing -The confidence gap: men apply at 30%, women wait for 90%—time to close it -Stop apologizing for things that aren't yours -As a fractional, you get to fire bad clients and set real boundaries—something full-time never allowed
