Gareth Icke rips into the Epstein files leak as elite mockery—Jewish-linked globalists parading taped child rape, torture, cannibalism, sacrifices, and transhuman experiments, daring us to either submit or end them for defiling our children. BitChute's Ray Vahey details dodging Jewish-led globalist assaults—debanked in Europe, slammed by regimes, NGOs, and blacklists—delivering censorship-free video since 2017 with spy-free ops, honest trending, auto-monetization for creators, and a $10K shadowban bounty untouched.

Most coaches get stuck chasing the next strategy, the next funnel, the next offer tweak. But the real constraint isn't what you're selling - it's whether you're solving what your clients actually need. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Andrew Stickel, who went from a $10K/month kitchen table dream to running a $50M business serving law firms. And no, it wasn't because he worked harder or got lucky. It was because he asked one question on repeat: "What else do they need?" We break down the psychology of building a business that prints money because you're obsessed with client results, not your own offers. Andrew shares the expensive lessons he learned about first impressions, why being great at sales can actually hide fatal business problems, and how extending your client lifetime value unlocks infinite marketing leverage. You'll discover: Why the first 30 days with a client dictates the entire relationship - and how to get them a win fast The dangerous trap of selling so well that it masks your inability to actually deliver How to increase lifetime value so you can outspend every competitor in your space The copywriting psychology behind stacking irrefutable truths to make everything you say feel credible Why "What's next?" is the most profitable question in business This episode isn't about working harder or building a better mousetrap. It's about understanding that your clients don't want your framework - they want their problem gone. And when you orient everything around that truth, growth becomes inevitable. If you've been grinding on your offers while wondering why your business feels capped… this conversation will show you what you've been missing.

Joel Salomon is back—and this time, we're going even deeper. In last week's episode, we unpacked the mechanics of making money. Today, we shift into the energetics of attracting money—belief, vibration, action, and why manifestation isn't passive or "wishful thinking." Joel shares how his background as a hedge fund manager, combined with decades of personal development work, led him to bridge the gap between financial strategy and energetic alignment. We talk about emotional frequency, why belief matters more than tactics, and simple manifestation practices that real people are using to attract real money. This episode is for you if you've ever thought: "I know what to do… but why does it still feel stuck?" "Is manifestation actually practical?" "How do I shift out of scarcity without pretending everything is fine?" ✨ In this episode, we cover: Why belief is the missing link in most money strategies The difference between making money and attracting money How emotions directly impact financial outcomes Why "action" is still required in manifestation Joel's favorite money manifestation tools (including the $100 bill exercise & the Check Game) How gratitude literally rewires your brain for abundance Why happiness can create money (not the other way around) Joel Links & Resources: Joel's calendar link (for the $10K roadmap offer): https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/fa93ee09/appointment/8774948/calendar/2407980 Website: https://salaurmor.com Connect with Jen: Instagram: @manifestationandmoneypodcast Manifestation Playground on Skool: https://www.skool.com/manifestationmasters-4065 Cheers to creating a life you love. ✨
If you want bigger gifts, stronger partnerships, and more sustainable revenue, you can't grow in isolation.In this episode, I'm breaking down what strategic networking actually looks like for nonprofit leaders, and why staying hidden in your inbox is one of the fastest ways to stall growth. This isn't about awkward mixers, cheesy pitches, or forcing yourself to be someone you're not. It's about intentionally placing yourself in rooms where influence, generosity, and decision-making already exist, and learning how to show up with confidence, clarity, and alignment. I talk about why familiar routines keep organizations stuck at the same revenue ceilings, how one conversation can collapse years of cultivation, and the exact types of rooms nonprofit leaders should prioritize if they want to raise more without burning out. If you're ready to stop doing great work quietly and start building real momentum, this episode will shift how you think about networking forever.Topics:Why nonprofit growth requires proximity, not more hustleThe difference between old-school networking and strategic networkingHow one conversation can bypass years of donor cultivationWhy staying “in your lane” keeps revenue cappedThe four types of rooms nonprofit leaders must prioritizeHow to network without feeling salesy or awkwardWhy asking great questions makes you more memorableHow visibility leads to funding opportunitiesBuilding a consistent networking habit without burnoutTurning conversations into warm introductions and partnershipsFor 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.

If you're a yoga teacher running an online business and making €2,000 to €4,000 a month, you've probably been told that the solution is more content, more followers, better marketing tactics. But the gap between where you are now and consistent €10K months is almost never tactical. It's strategic.In this first episode of a three-part series, I'm walking through the first two things that have to shift when you're ready to scale your online yoga business to that next level: your brand positioning and your offer suite.I'm also sharing my own experience with niching down to yoga teachers, why I tried to broaden my positioning and what happened when I did, and how I had a six-figure year selling just one offer while traveling Europe in my campervan.In this episode:Why working harder isn't what gets you to €10K monthsWhat brand positioning actually means and why most yoga teachers get stuck hereThe real reason niching down makes you stronger, not smallerWhy a low-priced membership or online course alone won't get you to six figuresWhat a simple, strategic offer suite actually looks likePart 2: Messaging and sales process — what has to shift for people to actually buy.
Happy National Do a Grouch a Favor Day! We kick off the episode with a recap of Erin's chaotic appearance on the local WFMZ news, where she accidentally crashed a tearful anchor goodbye while wearing a $368 Team USA Ralph Lauren sweater and "hard pants." Bo was so impressed he offered to cover the upcoming Craig Conover 10K race from a news van. Speaking of the 10K, we review some diabolical listener suggestions for the loser's punishment—from taking the SATs to running from Deputy Dog Radar in a bite suit.Then we dive into a massive Winter Olympics recap. We review the Milan Opening Ceremony and passionately defend Lindsey Vonn from the haters after her devastating crash. We also celebrate our official "Swiffer Curling" manifestation coming true for Chris Plys, debate whether the Snoop Dogg commentary gimmick is getting tired (should Elmo or Gordon Ramsay replace him?), and praise Team USA's tailored outfits alongside Mongolia's effortlessly "dripped out" uniforms. We also uncover the most insane sports cheating scandal of the year: male ski jumpers injecting their private parts with hyaluronic acid to increase their suit's aerodynamic airtime.In other sports news, we celebrate Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s iconic Chef Boyardee NASCAR wrap and merch drop, while Erin spirals over an offer to caddy at a professional PGA tour event, fearing a sweaty, club dropping disaster.Finally, we time travel to recap a mostly boring Super Bowl. We complain about the endless pharmaceutical and crypto ads, but applaud 50 Cent's incredibly petty DoorDash commercial taking shots at Diddy. We also review Bad Bunny's halftime show, praising the stunning set design, Puerto Rican cultural pride, and the emotional moment he handed a Grammy to his younger self. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a Japanese volleyball player who hit a sideline worker with a ball and practically slid across the court on his belly to profusely apologize.
How long does it actually take before you start seeing more traffic and inquiries from SEO on your therapy website?SEO blogging for therapists can feel like a slow-burn strategy, but it's one of the most reliable ways to step off the social media hamster wheel. Waiting months for momentum can feel painful, especially when you want clients now. But I went from basically zero traffic to 7–10K visitors a month, and I've watched therapists inside my signature program, Liberated Business, experience the same shift once they committed to the long game.In today's episode, I'm breaking down what really happens in the first few months, how results compound between 6–12 months, and why many therapists feel the biggest difference around the one-year mark. I'll help you figure out whether you should DIY your SEO or hire support, and how to spot red flags so you don't waste money on someone who overpromises.If you're a therapist who's curious about SEO but overwhelmed, impatient, or unsure whether it's worth it, this episode will give you realistic expectations and a clear path forward.Topics covered on SEO Blogging for Therapists: The realistic SEO timeline from early indexing to compounding trafficWhat keyword cannibalization is and how to stop competing with your own blogsSEO blogging for therapists success stories, including my own journey from zero to 7-10K monthly visitorsThe truth about how blogs work (hint: most people don't read the whole thing)When it makes sense to DIY and when hiring will save you timeWhy SEO brings traffic but can't convert clients for youMy favorite SEO blogging resources for therapistsConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessDevotional Sales Strategy: www.thebadtherapist.coach/shop/p/devotional-sales-practice
Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the Edge Breakfast with 6am throwbacks and big giveaways, including EZ Money for $10,000 and Zara Larsson tickets.

Callers join in: a dreadlock hairdresser, a Friends superfan wins a McDonald’s Friends prize, and two $10K attempts fall short.

Most business owners are chasing a revenue goal that sounds good: six figures, $10-20K months. But those numbers are often vague, misleading, and disconnected from the life they actually want to live.In this episode, I introduce the concept of your Freedom Number: the true amount of revenue your business needs to generate to support your personal life and business without burning out.This is a foundational concept in the No BS Model and a sneak peek into my upcoming book, Scale Solo. If you've ever felt like you're making money but still feeling tight, stressed, or unsure what number you should really be aiming for, this episode will give you clarity and a much more grounded way to design your business.Tune into this episode to hear:Why “six figures” and “$10K months” are often the wrong goalsHow to calculate your Freedom NumberHow vague revenue goals lead to weak pricing confidenceThe 50/25/25 rule for client work, business development, and freedom timeWhy feast-or-famine cycles happen and how to break themResources mentioned in this episode:Get on the early readers list for Scale Solo: noBSmastery.com/bookJoin the March Bootcamp: noBSmastery.com/bootcampDownload the Freedom Calculator: noBSmastery.com/price
AJGA Chief Business Officer Jason Etzen describes how the AJGA has focused on long-tenured leadership, stable governance, and commitment to a clear mission.

Etzen emphasizes the AJGA's commitment to championship‑level tournaments, high player standards, and data‑driven recruiting tools that support both golfers and college coaches.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Afton skier Jessie Diggins, who reached down deep and won a bronze medal Thursday in the 10K freestyle. It was another career-defining moment for Diggins. Plus another good Wolves win heading into the break. 9:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand to talk about the Olympics, the Timberwolves, the Twins and Minnesota United. 28:00: Liam Hendriks is back with the Twins. In a different era, would he ever have left?
Key Takeaways:Cash flow alone will not scale you quickly.A 10 percent cash on cash return sounds strong, but earning 10K per year on 100K of equity can trap you in slow growth. It can take years just to stack enough capital for the next deal.Equity growth is the real accelerator.Forced appreciation, increasing NOI through better leases, operations, or repositioning, can create six figures in value almost overnight. Small income increases can dramatically change valuation.Commercial property is valued on income, not emotion.If you raise NOI by 10K and the market cap rate is 5 percent, you just created 200K in value. That is the power of understanding how properties are priced.Value creation beats passive investing early on.The most successful investors focus on creating value first. They put in the work, increase equity, then transition into more passive assets later.1031 exchanges multiply momentum.Instead of paying taxes on gains, rolling equity into larger deals compounds growth. This is how small deals turn into meaningful portfolios.Cash flow becomes powerful after equity is built.Once you have scaled your equity base, even a modest return generates significant monthly income. That is when cash flow truly changes your lifestyle.

What happens when you finally get everything you asked for… and realize your business can't hold it yet? In this powerful and honest conversation, Sheila Bella sits down with Robin Miller, a curly hair specialist who went from barely surviving in her business to becoming so booked she had to stop posting—not because demand wasn't there, but because capacity wasn't. Robin shares her real journey from making $2–3K months, working in a commission salon, and questioning whether entrepreneurship was even for her… to hitting consistent $10K months in less than a year after fully implementing Pretty Rich Bosses strategies. But this episode isn't just about getting booked. It's about confidence. Leadership. Clarity. Faith. And becoming the kind of woman who can hold the blessing without collapsing under it. You'll hear what actually changed when Robin stopped posting randomly, started educating, invested in coaching, and allowed her faith to shape how she shows up in business—without apology. If you think being fully booked is the finish line… this episode will completely shift how you see growth.

I see this pattern constantly with nonprofit leaders: staying busy, staying loyal to systems and strategies that feel familiar, and wondering why results have plateaued. Today, I break down what I call the familiarity trap, the tendency to cling to fundraising tactics, tools, and routines not because they're effective, but because they're comfortable. I talk about how burnout often shows up as indecision, avoidance, and endless tinkering instead of forward momentum. I unpack why familiarity feels safe to the brain, how it keeps leaders stuck in low-impact work, and why decisiveness (not perfection) is the fastest way out. If you're circling the same decisions, rewriting the same content, avoiding donor outreach, or telling yourself you'll “deal with it later,” this episode will help you recognize what's actually happening and show you how to interrupt the cycle with clarity and courage.Topics:What the familiarity trap is and why it's so common in nonprofitsHow burnout shows up as indecision and avoidanceWhy “thinking about thinking” keeps leaders stuckThe neuroscience behind comfort, fear, and decision-makingWhy decisiveness beats perfection every timeHow familiar tasks drain energy without moving revenueThe cost of delaying donor outreach and key decisionsHow to choose one path and commit long enough to see resultsThe difference between being careful and being stalledFor 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 live Q&A episode, Casey answers real questions from people building fractional CMO practices—some just getting started, others already charging $30K/month. The group digs into team structure, niche selection, pricing, dealing with messy client situations, and what it actually takes to transition from implementation work to strategic leadership. This isn't theory. These are the tactical questions people ask when they're in the trenches: How do I find good talent? What if the client's team sucks? Can I really charge $10K without a CMO title? Casey brings the same direct, no-BS energy—fire people when you need to, stop giving away strategy, and become the person clients actually want. Key Topics Covered: -Clients pay for implementation teams exclusively -Choose an industry niche you actually want to work in -You don't need perfect credentials to start landing clients -Implementation work is the kid's table with no upside -Fire inadequate team members and build a skunk works -Quality hiring requires making candidates jump through hoops -Real relationships beat AI-powered outreach -Agency owners can charge for strategy and implementation separately
In this workshop replay episode, Kelly pulls back the curtain on how she's monetizing books, thought leadership, and Substack heading into 2026. With two active book launches underway, Kelly shares the exact strategies she's using to turn books into long-term assets that generate daily sales, attract premium clients, and compound authority over time. In this training, you'll learn why books are one of the few truly passive income streams available to thought leaders, how to avoid the most common mistakes authors make after launch, and how to build a "book flywheel" that fuels your entire business ecosystem. Kelly also walks through why Substack has become a cornerstone of her strategy, how her team monetized it to over $10K in 30 days starting from zero, and why serious authors and experts need to be paying attention now (especially as AI reshapes the personal brand landscape). Whether you already have a book, are preparing for a launch, or want to elevate your authority as a category leader, this episode will completely change how you think about publishing, monetization, and legacy building. What You'll Learn Why books are one of the only business models that can become truly passive How to turn books into high-ticket client acquisition tools How to build a book flywheel that drives daily sales and visibility Self-publishing vs. traditional publishing: pros, cons, and strategic tradeoffs Why Substack is emerging as the premier platform for thought leaders How Kelly monetized Substack without personally managing the platform How to connect books, Substack, email, and offers into one ecosystem Timestamps 03:46 – 08:30 Kelly's journey as an author & why books became a cornerstone of her success 08:31 – 13:45 Why books are one of the few truly passive income assets 13:46 – 19:20 The two roles every book should play: income + client generation 19:21 – 26:00 The Book Flywheel: how to sell books continuously without "launching" 26:01 – 32:40 User-generated content, reviews, and relaunch strategies that drive daily sales 32:41 – 38:30 Self-publishing vs. traditional publishing: what no one tells you 38:31 – 45:00 Why Substack is becoming essential for authors and thought leaders 45:01 – 50:40 How Kelly monetized Substack to $10K+ in 30 days starting from zero 50:41 – 54:00 How to integrate books, Substack, and offers into one scalable ecosystem Resources: Register for Kelly's next free, LIVE training on February 10th: Using Your Book to Drive Back End Coaching, Consulting, And Program Sales Growth: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/i0CeiVuacLJ9KdGkg2Eg Save your seat for the upcoming LIVE Substack Intensive on February 24th (paid + founding Substack subscribers get $100 off -- DM Kelly on Substack for the discount code) https://accelerator.virtualbusinessschool.com/substack Subscribe to Kelly's Substack as a free, paid, or founding member: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/subscribe Join the Early Access list and be one of the first to listen to Kelly's upcoming book, the Miracle Hour: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/u3RyaGPFchNEHdnSf4lD Grab one of Kelly's bestselling books: https://kellyroachinternational.com/books/
This week we kick things off underground with a full recap of the Groundhog Run at Subtropolis, one of the most unique races around and one that has us literally running through caves. We talk about the good, the weird, and the wildly frustrating, especially the annual bus and parking chaos that leaves runners standing in the cold longer than we'd like. Once inside, though, the event shines with a warm cave atmosphere, great volunteers, and a community vibe that keeps us coming back year after year. We break down the Tunnel to Tunnel Challenge, tackling both the 5K and 10K, navigating crowded starts, overdressing for the cold, and trying to stay loose while waiting nearly two hours between races. It turns into a lesson in patience as muscles tighten, sweat cools, and we're reminded how tricky winter racing can be. Along the way we celebrate small wins, from improved 10K pacing to cheering on friends hitting big milestones like their first 10K finish. We also share why we skipped the Kickoff 5K after a tough 16 mile long run and a grumpy knee, choosing smart training over stubborn miles as Tokyo gets closer. With taper season officially here, the focus shifts from racing everything to protecting the body and making it to the starting line healthy. It's a mix of cave miles, cold mornings, medal hauls, and honest talk about listening to your body. As always, we're just figuring it out together, one step at a time on the road to Tokyo.
What would you do if your team told you they don't want targets, incentives or KPIs? This episode was inspired by a real question from a salon owner navigating some tricky conversations… Some of her team members have said they just want to come to work, do their job, and that earning more money doesn't motivate them. She's constantly getting messages about time off... And now she feels stuck between holding standards and the risk of losing her team. Tune in to find out: 3 Reasons You Need to Listen Why a team saying they “don't want targets” is rarely about money (what it'sactuallysignalling instead will surprise you…)What your role is as a Salon CEO when expectations start feeling negotiable1 simple focus so performance conversations stop feeling personal or awkward This episode is a must-listen if you're feeling overwhelmed about how to lead your team into the next stage of growth… Because removing targets doesn't remove pressure. It just hands it back to you. Get the Guide - 5 Salon Meetings That Rule Them All

Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 dropped within minutes of each other, and we're breaking down what this means for the future of AI work. In this episode, we unpack Opus 4.6's million-token context window (if you've got billies in the bank), why Codex's pricing makes it nearly impossible to ignore for agentic loops, and the real cost of running agents for 24 hours ($10K, apparently). We dive deep into why coding-optimized models are secretly crushing it at non-coding tasks, the mental fatigue of managing AI workers, and whether the chatbot era is actually fading or just evolving.

Money advice is broken. It's either shamey, gatekept, or written for people who already have money. Vivian Tu built her career proving there's a better way. After learning how money actually moves inside Wall Street at JPMorgan, she left the system and taught millions how to win at it anyway through Your Rich BFF. No jargon. No guilt. Just systems that work. Vivian is a former Wall Street trader turned financial educator and founder of Your Rich BFF, one of the largest personal finance platforms in the world. She's known for translating complex money rules into clear, actionable playbooks for people who were never taught how wealth is built or protected. She breaks down:• Why buy-now-pay-later isn't convenience, it's a quiet wealth killer• How to calculate your “walk away” number and what it actually unlocks• Why budgeting fails when it's about restriction instead of design• The invisible tactics advertisers use to drain your financial discipline• How wealthy families transfer money intentionally while everyone else leaves it to chance• Why housing, wages, and timing really are stacked against younger generations• The only kind of income that compounds without burning you out• How to handle your first $10K without overthinking it• Why prenups are protection, not a lack of trust• How to split money with a partner in a way that's fair, not equal This isn't theory or hustle culture. It's applied finance from someone who's seen how the game is played behind closed doors and decided to explain it in plain English. If money has ever felt overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally loaded, this conversation rewires how you think about it and what's actually possible. Check out Vivian's new book Well Endowed: The Secrets to Strategic Spending, Building a Financial Foundation for You and Your Family, and Creating Lasting Generational Wealth and follow her at @YourRichBFF on all platforms. ***Also hi I'm Codie and I run an investment and advisory firm that helps you buy and build businesses.

Fireworks before sunrise, yoga in the cold, and a finish line that felt like a farewell—this Disneyland race weekend had a different kind of electricity. We open with Miss Piggy's cameo on the castle screen and roll straight into the expo's virtual queue scramble, a quick detour through misplaced bib drama, and a check-in with Jeff and Barbara Galloway that left us optimistic and grateful. Between merch scarcity, the Dumbo hoodie frenzy, and smarter PhotoPass ops, the weekend balanced magic with mechanics in classic runDisney fashion.The 5K reminded us why the west coast course is beloved: quiet fireworks, a park-start and park-finish, and sunrise over Pixar Pier. A surprise “balloon lady” sighting and a late-course cut around Avengers Campus created some confusion, but the joy still landed. The 10K leaned into imagination—Sorcerer Mickey everywhere, Figment looping in our heads, and backstage Easter eggs like the Tower of Terror sign and A Bug's Life props. Photo lines moved faster, and runners helped each other grab those castle shots when photographers cleared out near the back.The half marathon tied it all together. Early laps through DCA, then a thoughtful route across Anaheim with out-and-backs that turned the race into a reunion. The 501st brought free hugs and big energy; third-shift custodial cast cheered like pros. We talk pacing with run-walk-run, efficient PhotoPass at small world and Millennium Falcon, and the thrill of a fast finish that also marked a 100th RunDisney medal. The DCA picnic-area meetup overflowed—cookies, bracelets, and the best conversations of the weekend—proof that this community keeps the magic alive long after the medals are hung.We close with the question on everyone's mind: will runDisney return to Disneyland? Some of us think yes, but not soon; others felt a real goodbye in Carissa's voice. Either way, the stories, tips, and friendships from this weekend are here to keep you moving.

You know what's so stinking wild? You're out here with experience, client results, and case studies that would make other people jealous, and you're still attracting clients who need handholding, who question your price, and who ghost you after discovery calls.I hate to break it to you, but it's not them. It's your messaging.You're speaking to beginner-level problems when there's a whole world of champagne problems out there waiting for someone like you to solve them. And today, we're gonna fix it.If you're a service provider (VA, OBM, ads manager, copywriter, funnel builder) who's tired of attracting clients with beginner budgets and beginner problems, this is for you. I'm gonna show you exactly how to shift your messaging to attract premium clients who respect your expertise, make decisions quickly, and pay well.Beginner Problems vs. Champagne Problems: The distinction between survival-stage clients (uncertain, low budget, testing) and success-stage clients (established, scaling, delegating). Champagne problems are problems of growth, not getting started.Why Your Messaging Attracts the Wrong Clients: Service providers default to beginner messaging because it feels safer, more familiar, and less vulnerable—often driven by imposter syndrome or playing small.How Messaging Signals Client Level (and Budget): Language that focuses on “getting started,” affordability, or learning attracts beginners, while messaging that assumes success attracts premium clients who value expertise and delegation.The Tactical Messaging Shift to Attract Premium Clients: Auditing current messaging, reframing problems to assume success, and using language centered on delegation, ownership, scaling, and premium solutions.What Changes When You Speak to Champagne Clients: Higher-quality inquiries, shorter sales cycles, easier pricing conversations, faster decisions, and doing higher-level work instead of beginner hand-holding.Find the full post at: https://brandimowles.com/272Want More Like This? ⬇️
