Eugene Khayman, co-founder of Million Dollar Sellers (MDS), who leads the "Gimme Five" campaign aimed at pushing Amazon to give sellers some fee relief after years of rising costs. Thinking about taking some risk off the table? Or are you looking at taking an extended break from e-commerce in general? Know what your e-commerce business is worth with Quiet Light Brokerage. The gap between paying for inventory and selling it is where stockouts are born. Onramp Funds closes it with funding that moves with your sales. Built for sellers already doing $10K a month or more across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and TikTok Shop. See how much you qualify for at Onramp Funds. With changes to DD+7, Subscribe and Save, and the additional seller fees tacked on this year, third-party sellers on Amazon are quickly discovering that it might be more profitable to take their products elsewhere.

Brooke DeRenzis from the National Skills Coalition talks with Paul Fain about how to build a workforce agenda for the AI economy. The National Skills Coalition is a nonprofit organization that advocates for inclusive, high-quality skills training. DeRenzis is the group's DC-based CEO. She shares how the US can leverage bipartisan concern about AI's impacts to improve on decades of unfinished workforce policy. Chapters 00:00 How ready is the US?: The main workforce law is a generation old and its real funding has shrunk. The safety net is built for normal ups and downs, not structural change. 02:15 We spend far less than our peers: The US is at the bottom of the OECD chart on workforce spending. 03:15 What Americans are saying: Nobody has a crystal ball. People want to know what AI means for their own job, family and community. 06:05 From "second chance" to "first choice": Treating workforce spending as a core investment, and why the lack of partisan lines on AI is an opening. 11:45 "Job training doesn't work"?: What workers actually want: economic stability, and control over their own careers. 14:55 "Economic infrastructure": People shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and getting training. 17:20 Where basic income and reskilling overlap: New Mexico's guaranteed income for student parents, and pandemic emergency aid at community colleges. 20:00 The pilot problem: Low spending produces modest results, which justifies low spending. Per Scholas, and $2K training vouchers versus a $10K program. 25:05 Scaling up: Community colleges, union-management training partnerships, and employers who want in from the start. 29:40 Corporate money: Lowe's and others investing in the skilled trades, and the building of AI infrastructure itself driving demand for workers. 33:05 States or Washington? Why not to wait, and the broken promises of past economic transitions. 37:45 Pennsylvania: Deindustrialization, Gov. Shapiro's shift on data centers, and where people can look for hope. 41:40 Community anchors: Community colleges and community groups as the places people go when they're worried about work. 44:45 A New Promise of Work: About 500 conversations nationwide, policy proposals coming at the National Skills Coalition's March 2027 Skills Summit, and who needs to champion them.

What would I do if I woke up tomorrow $30,000 in debt and had to build a million-dollar business from scratch?In this episode of the Money Mindset Manifestation Podcast, I'm sharing the exact five steps I would take to go from broke to building a million-dollar business, knowing everything I know today.When I started, I had $30K in debt, a scarcity mindset, and absolutely no idea how to build a successful business. But I had a vision for my life, a deep belief that something more was possible, and a willingness to figure it out.That first business eventually grew to half a million dollars a year, and the lessons I learned along the way completely transformed how I approach money, entrepreneurship, and success.If I had to do it all again, I would do things VERY differently.We're talking about finding a business that genuinely lights you up, reprogramming your subconscious mind for financial abundance, identifying the money beliefs keeping you stuck, getting support before you think you need it, and developing the conviction to go after your biggest dreams.And yes, I'm sharing the exact daily money mindset practices I would use to start changing my financial reality TODAY.In This Episode We Cover:Why I turned down my dream corporate job to start a business with $30,000 in debt.How I built my first business from zero to approximately $500K a year.Why you don't need to find your one perfect business idea to get started.How I use Human Design and my sacral authority to make aligned business decisions.The morning, evening, and afternoon subconscious reprogramming rituals I would use to build financial abundance.A powerful seven-minute exercise to uncover your limiting money beliefs and turn them into custom Askfirmations.Why trying to figure everything out on your own could be slowing down your business growth.How working with my first business coach helped me expand beyond my $10K months.The power of declaring what you want, embodying your future identity, and refusing to let other people's doubts determine what's possible for you.Ready for Business Support?If you're ready to stop trying to figure out business on your own and want someone in your corner who can help you identify your blind spots, expand your vision, and build your business, I'd love to support you inside Freedom Business Coaching.Apply to work with me below.⁠[APPLY FOR FREEDOM BUSINESS COACHING]⁠⁠Higher Self App (soon to be INNERSOURCE)Ready to start reprogramming your subconscious mind for financial abundance?

I've rebuilt my business from zero to five figure months three separate times, and every single time it came down to the exact same thing.

Somewhere in your donor file, there's a group of people that's been labeled “mail-only.” Nobody tested it, so it just became the rule.In this episode, I explain why that assumption costs you revenue, especially going into year-end. I share what happened when one of my club clients added email to an established direct mail program. Donors weren't annoyed, and more gifts came in than mail alone could have produced. I also walk through the latest data from the 2026 M+R Benchmarks, Bloomerang's Giving Signals report, and NextAfter. Email grew 16%, 69% of donors say email is their preferred channel, and nonprofits raise 30–40% of their online revenue in December alone. If your mail list and your email list barely talk to each other, this one is for you.Topics:Why mail and email get siloed by accident, and how that accident starts to feel like a rule nobody questionedThe real math: for every $1 nonprofits raise online, they raise $0.66 through direct mail. Both channels drive real revenue, and both are growingWhy "our audience doesn't respond to email" is almost never a channel problem; it's a content and cadence problemFor 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.

This conversation with Lisa Sykes went somewhere I didn't expect- and honestly, somewhere I needed it to go.Lisa has spent 15 years in the birth world, evolving from an in-person doula into a mentor, educator, entrepreneur and powerful voice for birth workers who refuse to shrink their ambition.But this episode is about so much more than building a doula business.We talk about leaving the life that looks “good enough” when you know there's something more for you.We talk about why building a business might actually be simpler than we make it—and how fear of being seen, judged, rejected or looking cringe keeps so many incredible doulas invisible.We talk about the instant-gratification culture that has convinced entrepreneurs that something must be wrong when success takes time.We talk about mentorship, taking audacious risks, refusing to stay capped, building a mission big enough that other people's opinions stop fucking mattering—and why Lisa believes the opportunities available to doulas today are bigger than ever.And then we land somewhere I haven't stopped thinking about:Gratitude and desire can exist at the same time.You can love the business you've built and want to evolve it.You can be deeply present for your family and still be wildly ambitious.You can be proud of how far you've come without pretending you're done becoming.You can be grateful as fuck for this life…and still want more.If you've been questioning whether your ambition makes you selfish, wondering whether you should just be satisfied with where you are, or feeling afraid to take up more space in your business- this conversation is for you.Connect with Lisa over on instagram at @lisasykesonline Love being a doula..but tired of unpredictable income? If growing your business still means taking more births, working more overnights, or hoping the next referral comes through, there's a better way. Imagine consistent private-pay clients, predictable $10K months, and a business that builds wealth for your family without requiring more and more of you. ⬇️ START HERE ⬇️FREE LIVE MASTERCLASS: The Six Figure Doula Booking EngineFREE 3 Must-Ask Consult Questions to Book Yourself OutCome say hi on IG Learn more about Six Figure Doula

Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, is back on Trading Secrets nearly three years after her first appearance—and a lot has changed. With over 10 million followers and $8.2M in annual earnings, Vivian breaks down exactly where the money comes from, including brand deals, speaking, books, and podcasting, plus the team and expenses behind that massive top-line number. She reveals why she invested over $1M of her own money into building Ask Dolly, her new financial wellness app, and why she chose to self-fund instead of raising outside capital. Vivian also shares how she's grown her audience without spending a dollar on paid ads, why she still posts every day, and how the creator economy is evolving beyond traditional influencers. Plus, Vivian gets into the current financial uncertainty, emergency funds, high-interest debt, wedding budgeting after her Lake Como wedding went 3X over budget, and the $10K wedding expense she regrets. She also opens up about speaking on financial policy, whether she'd ever consider politics, and why her newest Trading Secret is knowing when it's worth fighting for what you want.

I was given clearance to travel, row and -- drum roll -- run, as of last week.Don't worry: I'm not crazy enough to try running at 6 weeks post op, but I may try a run-walk soonish.I'm also eyeing either the 5K or 10K on Nov. 14 at El Taco Loco -- hiking, or maybe a tiny bit of running. My friends, Orly and Kathy, are doing the 50K and coming up for that weekend. I figure I may as well give it a shot. And, I have a DNF of a 10K in February to atone for. We will see.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#222 "Ionic The Hedgehog" - Podcast Show Notes & Summary 9-26-26 Tim and Nate spend the first ten minutes fighting a Discord refresh, a hiss they blame on forced suppression, and a Windows accessibility crosshair that PowerToys cannot kill. Then the ring lands on Life: first day of fall floods Tim's plugged gutters, a USPS driver does an Austin Powers turn in his driveway because Washington will not let carriers reverse more than a foot, and Nate trades a Mustang insurance bill for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq they immediately name Ionic the Hedgehog. Dream Nate gets a tattoo without telling Mrs. Foo. Amazon cargo e-bikes with fake pedals unload patio furniture in Burbank heat. Games dump after the last episode posted — Diablo 5, StarCraft Dominion, more No Man's Sky, Famitsu wishlists, Kojima's canceled Metal Gear-shaped "Fizzint," Bungie saying "we're listening" again, and Xbox shoving Halo under an Activision Call of Duty team while Halo Studios shrinks to "community support." Tim's HTML RTS playtest is up to 0.58 with dumber-AI rehab. Tech is iPhone Duo vs Z Fold 8 and a missing telephoto that keeps Tim off the fold. Entertainment is Lanterns going feral, Mayday being exactly Ryan Reynolds, Paramount-Warner getting waved through, Darkwing Duck coming back without Jim Cummings, Kara's Spaceballs DVD, and a Reddit stranger who archived Wizard's Rule episodes 0–40. Get forked.   Detailed Show Notes  

Nicky Tamberrino is the host of Maybe Running Will Help, the newest addition to the SandyBoy Productions Podcast Network. She's a sub-three-hour marathoner, running coach based out of Baltimore, lifelong athlete, and mother. Maybe Running Will Help is powered by Charm City Run, and Nicky has welcomed guests including Zach Bitter, Rory Linkletter, Ashley Paulson, and Killian Korth. In this conversation, Nicky and I have a very casual chat about what she's up to, her history with running, and how she sees herself in the running space, community, culture, and industry. I definitely go off script in conversations like this, and it ends up being even more of a back-and-forth than my conversations with professional athletes. Hopefully this episode feels like an inside peek and gives you the chance to get to know both of us a little bit better.

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie dig into one of the biggest mindset shifts in running: stop judging success only by distance and start learning what running actually feels like. In this episode, Valerie explains why a run coach is not the same as a running partner, why she needs to watch your movement instead of running beside you, and why the real goal is to build confidence in your own form before chasing bigger mileage. The conversation focuses on running for time, starting and stopping when needed, and using the run itself as a skill-building practice rather than a pass/fail test.The episode also breaks down why so many runners pressure themselves too early by signing up for a race or assigning a distance before they truly know what their body can do. Valerie explains that when runners learn to run for 10 minutes, reset when needed, and then build gradually, they often progress much faster and with less frustration. That same approach helped one runner move from never having run before to completing a 10K, 20K, and eventually training for a 30K, all while learning how to stop, restart, and trust the process.At the heart of the episode is a powerful message about removing mental pressure from running. Valerie emphasizes that running should still be challenging, but it does not have to feel like gasping, wheezing, or “trudging through it.” When runners learn to hold their line, find a fall point, pull their feet, and reset when needed, they often discover that running becomes more fun, more efficient, and much less intimidating. This is the kind of coaching that helps runners move from surviving their runs to actually enjoying them.▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

The Wine and Dine countdown just got real, and the details matter this year. We're four weeks out, training is peaking, and runDisney dropped enough race-weekend updates to change how you plan your expo day, your 5K morning, and even how you think about pacing and character stops.We walk through the newly released Wine and Dine event guide with a runner's eye for logistics: updated expo hours, the shift to a 7 a.m. virtual queue for race merch and Brooks shoes, and what that earlier timing could mean if you rely on Disney resort transportation. Then we dig into the most talked-about change, the 5K. Start groups are tightly structured, timing chips are in play, and a new tear-off bib tag is designed to manage corral access. We share what the guide says, what it does not say, and the real questions runners are already asking about bathrooms, bag check, course flow, and getting back to the resorts.We also cover the 10K and half marathon notes, plus everything you need for the EPCOT post-race party: ticket delivery, wristbands, the late-night ride lineup, and why the first hour can feel wild before things calm down. Along the way, Alysha gives a timely reminder about cold and flu season before travel, and we close with race reports from the community, including a special spotlight on the Terry Fox Run and the Marathon of Hope legacy in Canada.If you're getting ready for Wine and Dine, hit play, share this with your running friends, and subscribe so you don't miss our final prep episodes.

The online business world is changing. People have more information than ever at their fingertips, and the business models that many creators started out selling aren't converting the way they used to.I sat down with Jasmine Star to talk about why traditional courses and memberships are becoming harder to sell, and the new hybrid offer model she now teaches her clients. We get into how to build offers around specific customer results, how to find out what people will actually pay for before you build, and Jasmine's four-step framework for building a consistent $10K/month business. She also shares how she delivers high-touch coaching at scale, and the best ways to build trust with your audience in today's “trust recession”.If you're building an online business and wondering what types of offers still work in today's crowded online space, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:18 Jasmine's first digital offer04:00 How her $197 course made $255K04:40 Why she built a membership06:22 The problem with traditional memberships08:28 Building Social Curator10:27 The creator economy after 202012:07 Why courses and memberships stopped working13:12 The hybrid offer16:40 How to price an offer20:02 Turning coaching into a scalable offer22:27 Who the offer is for24:28 The 90-day $10K offer26:30 The $4K Freedom Formula29:32 How to keep clients accountable33:50 Why asynchronous coaching works35:36 Scaling coaching to hundreds of clients39:25 How to market the offer44:01 Using webinars to sell47:13 Why long-form content is coming back50:04 Measuring content performance52:43 How Jasmine met Nathan53:41 How to get high-value clients55:29 Creating an offer people will pay for59:55 Finding the right audience1:00:49 Getting your messaging right1:04:26 Finding your customer's pain point1:06:10 Using DMs to build trust1:09:38 Building a personal brand1:11:48 Final thoughtsIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

In this episode, Mike and Ben break down what Amazon Influencers should be focusing on heading into Q4, Prime Big Deal Days, and the busiest earning window of the year.They start by reviewing mid-September earnings volatility, pacing toward $10K months, and what creators should make of the recent Amazon reporting changes. Mike and Ben walk through how the new commission reporting separates direct product sales from indirect “Other” purchases, why the Commissions tab matters more right now, and how to use Linked Product reporting, shipped items, and clicks to better understand what is actually happening.The conversation also covers carousel rotations, mobile versus desktop behavior, possible quality checks on low-value videos, and why creators need to zoom out and look at 30-day and 90-day trends before making major strategy changes. They also talk about tools like Oink that can help creators audit storefront health and spot videos that may need attention.With Prime Big Deal Days coming up fast, Mike and Ben share what they are focusing on now, including deal-driven products, Q4 buying opportunities, seasonal content, quick review videos, deeper comparison videos, and content that has a better chance of earning through the holiday shopping season.They also spend time talking through YouTube strategy for Amazon Influencers, including why YouTube needs different titles, SEO, thumbnails, and video structure than Amazon onsite content. The episode covers comparison videos, first 30-second retention, end screens, YouTube Shopping, and upcoming YouTube monetization requirement changes that could impact smaller creators.If you are an Amazon Influencer, content creator, or product reviewer trying to prepare for Q4, understand reporting changes, improve your storefront, and build more long-term income through Amazon and YouTube, this episode is packed with strategy, perspective, and practical next steps.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, & honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator's Leverage Guild was built for exactly thatLearn more and join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creator's Leverage Guild⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________CHECK OUT OUR 2 E-BOOKS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The AIP Master Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Stop guessing your way through AIP.

You need to stop wasting major time on minor things.This is the weekly planning system and time-optimization playbook that took me from $20K to $200K a month in direct sales.Most reps think there are only two ways to sell more: talk to more people or get better at closing.Both are true. Neither is the fastest lever.Time is.In this episode, I break down how to control your week, protect your highest-value hours, and get more production out of the time you're already working.What we cover:• The E3 model: effort, expertise, and efficiency• Big rocks / little rocks weekly planning: Priorities, Prospects, Production• How to reverse-engineer your numbers and why I add a 20% volume buffer• Major time vs. minor time — and the 168-hour self-audit• Why rejection isn't your biggest problem — people wasting your time is• How to disqualify faster instead of trying to sell everyone• Arrival windows and double-booking to create more opportunities• Why most reps give up on referrals right before they start working• The 15-minute daily follow-up habit that added $10K a week• Setting input targets by the hour• The free-time SOP and how the little things compoundThe goal isn't to work more hours.It's to make the hours you're already working worth more.TIMESTAMPS00:00 — The problem you don't know you have00:45 — The E3 model: effort, expertise, efficiency01:30 — Weekly planning: priorities, prospects, production05:30 — Major time vs. minor time06:15 — Stop selling everyone09:30 — Arrival windows and double-booking11:45 — Referrals and follow-up13:30 — The little things that compound15:00 — Get to the point fasterCONNECTInstagram: @nicknsalesYouTube: @nicknsales12 years in door-to-door.

John from Two Two Creative grew a PostNet location into one of the top 50 in the country, then walked away to build his own shop from zero. Today he runs a 16-person team in New Jersey, and vehicle wraps are the front door to everything else he sells.Bruce and Steven dig into what the franchise world teaches (and what it doesn't), how John decides what to bring in-house vs. sub out, why he checks efficiency before he hires, and how $5K and $10K branding packages turn one truck wrap into a one-stop-shop relationship.

Fobby and Justin open with Labor Day mortgage-market news — rates at a 12-13 month high, a surprising bump in purchase applications, UWM's FHA/VA share gain, Rocket's broker-poaching offer, and reactions to NEXA's new "NEXA Unlimited" 100%-revenue model — then spend the back half of the show counting down a top-10 mortgage fraud red-flags list from compliance firm Captify, trading war stories from their underwriting and originating days (a bankruptcy that blew up a refinance, a $32-33M "Robin Hood of mortgage fraud" case, fake-landlord rental scams, and a power-of-attorney bank account standoff) along the way.Market news recapMortgage rates: Freddie Mac's 30-year average hit 6.71% (week of Sept 3, 2026) — Fobby called it a 12-month high; Freddie Mac / AP actually reported it as a 13-month high. Minor correction if precision matters.Year-over-year: Fobby's "6.50% a year ago, up 21 bps" is accurate — Freddie Mac's own release confirms the year-ago (Sept 2025) average was 6.50%.Purchase applications: Fobby cited "purchase applications rose 0.8% for the week ending August 28." That 0.8% figure is actually the MBA's total Market Composite Index (purchase + refi combined). The seasonally-adjusted Purchase Index specifically rose 2% that week per MBA's release — an even better number than what aired. Worth a correction or a "we undersold it" follow-up post.FHA/VA share gain: directionally consistent with the tighter-DTI, higher-rate environment discussed; not independently verified against a specific data source in this pass.UWM FHA/VA volume, Rocket's $10K broker referral offer: anecdotal on the show; not independently verified — good candidates to source/cite if reused in written content.NEXA Unlimited: confirmed accurate. NEXA Lending launched "NEXA Unlimited" on Sept 1, 2026, giving loan officers access to 100% of revenue on qualifying loans from their first closing, with no flat fee, per-file fee, correspondent funding fee, margin, or closing fee, and no production/recruiting minimum (that requirement remains on the older NEXA100 program). CEO Mike Kortas's quotes on the show track the actual press release language closely.Quotable moments"The silver lining is that if you're still a loan officer in September, you've made it." — Fobby"If you tilt your head to see the other guy, you lose a second and he gains it on you." — Fobby, on staying in your lane (with the Michael Phelps analogy)"These are the scum of the earth." — Justin, on unlicensed mortgage-relief firms preying on distressed homeowners"He's a super nice guy — that's the red flag." — on an LO offering a kickback for a rate discount"Fraudsters love payment methods that are fast, final, and hard to reverse." — Fobby

The August 2026 Denver real estate market is telling two very different stories at once. Nearly 12% of every home listed for sale in Colorado is now priced below what the owner originally paid. In Denver County, that number climbs to 19%. As a result, buyers, sellers, and investors are rethinking how they approach the rest of the year. Chris Lopez sits down with Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans and Brandon Scholten of Keyrenter Denver to break down the August DMAR numbers. Closings across all residential dropped 17% year over year. Meanwhile, attached sales fell 23.5% while detached held closer to flat. Prices tell a K-shaped story. On one side, detached average is up 1.7%. On the other, attached slid 4.3%. In addition, inventory is moving in opposite directions depending on property type. Next, Brandon walks through the softening rental picture. Robinwood Section 8 rents fell from roughly $2,800 down to $1,900 after housing authorities tightened reasonableness adjustments. He also flags a real uptick in small multifamily buyer inquiries. For example, an Uptown studio is renting for $685 with a free month, effectively 2016 pricing. On the lending side, Troy shares that he has closed more second mortgages this year than in the prior five combined. Most are 20-year fixed products in the 7s. As a result, clients can keep their COVID-era first at 3% and still tap equity. Finally, the conversation closes on a duplex Jeff White just helped a first-time house hacker close. The purchase price came in at $660,000 with an FHA loan, down payment assistance, and an $11,500 seller credit. All-in cash came in under $10,000. On top of that, the property appraised $5,000 over. In This Episode We Cover: Why detached and attached are behaving like two different markets The Section 8 rent reset hitting Class C condo investors hardest How second mortgages are letting COVID-rate owners tap equity without a refi Why buyer sentiment is soft even as opportunities open up The $10K all-in duplex deal that closed in August Why almost nobody is submitting lowball offers despite 40+ day market times Whether you own attached inventory, are hunting for your next deal, or want a clear read on where the Denver real estate market is headed into fall, this episode gives you the data and the on-the-ground perspective to move forward.

No one works in this sector because they feel lukewarm about the mission. So where does all that belief go when it's time to ask for money?In this episode, I'm talking about the fight, the nerve, the conviction, the inner fire that brought you into this work, and what happens to it over time. For newer fundraisers, fear sounds like "I don't know what to say." For established leaders, it sounds like donor-centric stewardship, more data, more awareness, not the right time. It speaks fluent nonprofit, and it's just as expensive. I share what it looks like when an organization has an espresso mission and decaf fundraising, why revenue is always a lagging indicator, and what it actually means to fight for your donors' yes before they've had the chance to give it. I also share what we do inside The Purpose & Profit Club® to reconnect leaders with that fight, and point it somewhere productive.Topics:Why the fight that got you into the sector goes lukewarm, and what it costs when it doesHow fear gets a very good nonprofit vocabulary in established organizations, and how to recognize itWhy revenue is a lagging indicator, and what it means to act before you have proof it will workThe difference between rejecting yourself on the donor's behalf and giving them the chance to say yesWhy fundraising and communications working in silos is killing donations, and what integration actually looks likeWhat The Purpose & Profit Club® does differently, and who it's built forFor 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.

This week on The Running Mullet, we're talking about two very different ways to spend your weekend: Wild Goose Trail Festival and Boulder Beast. Wild Goose had a pretty good weekend right up until Sunday brought the rain. The wet conditions made things a little more interesting for the runners out there, both those finishing big mileage and those starting the Sunday shorter distances. Wild Goose has been around for years, and Sassquad has turned it into a full-on choose-your-own-adventure, with distances from the 10K and half marathon all the way up through the 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile and 36-hour races. A lot of what makes the event what it is comes back to race director Kim Levinsky, who has built Wild Goose into much more than just another ultra. Then there's Boulder Beast. Roughly 25 miles. Around 6,000 feet of climbing. Rocks. Boulder fields. Steep climbs. More rocks. A pretty serious day out on the trail. So we're recapping both races this week — the rain at Wild Goose, the challenge of Boulder Beast, the people who raced them, and whatever else happened out there this weekend. Monday at 7:30 PM ET. Come hang out. The Running Mullet.

This one is straight from Day 1 of my free Nail Your Niche challenge, and it is the training I wish someone had handed me in year two of my health coaching business.Here is the short version. You have a niche. It is probably not niched enough to work in 2026. The way we niche has changed in the last two years and most coaches are still running a strategy from 2023, which is why you can do everything right and still feel invisible.I break down the three criteria a problem has to meet before it will ever make you money, why root cause language quietly kills your marketing, and the shift I call identity-based niching. I audit a lot of businesses. Almost nobody has this part in place.I also tell the story of the cliff I jumped off that ended my skiing career, the seven years of chronic fatigue that followed, and the $10K year that turned into a quarter million once I stopped communicating like a practitioner.In this episodeThe three types of coaches this training is for: great offer and no clients, feast or famine, and the one hit wonderWhy a list of deliverables is not an offer, and why adding more to the list makes it harder to sell, not easierMy numbers: just over $10,000 in a full year selling single sessions, $90,000 the year I niched down to one transformation, almost a quarter million the year after when nothing changed except how I communicated itThe two criteria that make a problem profitable: chronic and severe, and why a tension headache fails both while a migraine passesThe third criterion that trumps the other two: awareness level, and why targeting inflammation, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, or nervous system dysregulation puts you in front of people who do not know they have the problemWhat to target instead, with specific swaps for metabolic issues, nervous system dysregulation, inflammation, parasites, and blood sugarWhy mold, SIBO, Hashimoto's and other diagnoses can work, as long as you are targeting people already diagnosedIdentity-based niching: why "women in their 40s" is a demographic, not an identity, and the test that tells you which one you haveThe phrases that are not identities, including high achieving woman, busy moms, heart centered, health conscious, and woman in perimenopauseWhy the same fatigue program has to be built completely differently for new moms than for retired seniorsThe billboard rule: your niche statement has one job, and buying is not itWhy your method, whether that is HTMA, Reiki, macro tracking, acupuncture or plant-based nutrition, belongs in your offer and not in your niche statementPain point marketing versus outcome marketing, and why leading with the dream losesWhy your niche is a marketing decision, not a practice decision, and why you can always switchResourcesGrab the niche statement workbook: DM the words "niche workbook" to me on Instagram @kendraperryincHealth Coach Accelerator, my six month business mentorship for health coaches and practitioners: LINK TO CONFIRM (found two candidates, go.kendraperry.net/hca and go.kendraperry.net/accelerator, need Kendra to say which is current)Find me on Instagram: @kendraperryincWebsite: kendraperry.netLeave the podcast a 5-star review: https://ratethispodcast.com/wealthy

He accidentally went viral with 10 million views for a story about a missile falling off his jet — but Sean Walsh's real mission is teaching service members how to build wealth. A retired F-16 pilot and squadron commander turned author of Millionaire in the Military, Sean joins Spencer to bust the myth that you can't get rich while serving. Drawing on fighter-pilot mission planning ("target backwards from the goal"), he lays out how to escape the "doctrine of sacrifice," why he did his taxes in the future, how he built 14 Airbnb properties on active duty, and the exact three moves every new service member should make on day one. Equal parts tactics and mindset. Questions Asked: How did you go from posting flying videos to talking about money — what was the "bait and switch"? Was there a mistake you made that you internalized and now teach from? Did you start any side hustles or businesses while on active duty? If you had 5-10 minutes with a young service member, what are your top three to five pieces of advice? Are you doing the audiobook / reading it yourself? Main Topics Covered: The viral origin story ("Motor" — Magnum On The Only Runway) and using flying content to teach finance Why starting early beats starting big — the compound-interest chart ($100/mo from 20–30 then stopping beats starting later) "Put down the shovel" — getting out of credit card and student loan debt (both hosts started ~$50–60K in the hole) The pivotal milestones: getting to your first $10K, $100K, then accelerating to $500K and $1M The Vegas DINK lifestyle lesson — small, incremental overspending that forced a house sale "How I spend my money" plan vs. the word "budget," and "if you don't have a plan for every dollar, someone else does" The "Big Dumb Coffee Cups" chapter — making spending decisions consciously and ahead of time Automating savings and investing (TSP, allotments, high-yield savings) to beat decision fatigue The $2.5 billion in unmatched TSP money service members left on the table in 2024 — always get the 5% match Raising contributions 1% with every annual pay raise so you never feel it The "doctrine of sacrifice" trap — why it shouldn't extend to your finances, and why everyone can retire a millionaire Thinking in seasons: low-responsibility early years, deployments, CZTE, and super-maxing the TSP to the $72K limit with Roth conversions Lifestyle creep, disposable income, and the dorm-vs.-Camaro choice Real estate: Airbnb arbitrage, scaling to 14 properties, systematizing/automating, and why saturation ended the run Proactive "taxes in the future" planning, business write-offs, and real estate professional status Goal setting and mission/values work — the wallet note and vision board that came true, quarterly offsites, "money scripts" "Middle class mindset," examining money bias, and setting aspirational (even audacious) goals — Naval Ravikant's aspirational hourly rate Discipline as an under-quantified military benefit; educate yourself via the base library, Libby audiobooks Sean's top advice: (1) TSP to the 5% match, (2) educate yourself, (3) have a plan for your money — then a Roth IRA, then simple index funds (VOO/VTI) The VA loan advantage (average U.S. homeownership age is now 40) and filing VA disability claims despite "sacrifice" indoctrination Resources Mentioned: Millionaire in the Military: A Service Member's Guide to Securing Financial Freedom by Sean Walsh (Amazon, Barnes & Noble) Worthy Books — "buy a book for a service member" nonprofit campaign (link in show notes; tax-deductible) https://www.worthybooks.org/millionaire-in-the-military?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAaeQGp0qOl0-hlmx4-v-U3rn3RMg4xoqtCO7GS7q3nhvduuPAbzHPGn72sKKfQ_aem_l5GYd7UXsOw-AJsPtjfV3Q  @RealShawnnWalsh on social media Books referenced: Tony Robbins Money: Master the Game, Gary Keller The One Thing, Atomic Habits, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Ramit Sethi I Will Teach You to Be Rich / Money for Couples Libby app (free audiobooks for service members); tsp.gov; Jeremy Schneider / Personal Finance Club   Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

Find me on Substack!Ian Cassel is the founder of MicroCapClub and CIO of Intelligent Fanatics Capital Management, specializing in underfollowed public companies led by exceptional owner-operators — pairing rigorous, boots-on-the-ground research with the patience to hold rare compounding businesses through volatility. He became a full-time private investor at 28 and has spent his career hunting for undiscovered small public companies, and the founders who run them, before Wall Street ever notices. Today, we discuss his new book, The Stock Picker: How to Develop the Mindset, Temperament, and Strategy to Outperform Wall Street.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/Ian Cassel didn't take the conventional path into investing — he skipped it entirely. Raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania's blue-collar, Amish-adjacent farm country, Cassel became a full-time private investor at 28, guided for years by a single line he wrote on a napkin at 22: “10K and two ten baggers equal millionaire.” It took six years to make it true.That patience defines everything Cassel does now as founder of MicroCapClub and CIO of Intelligent Fanatics Capital Management. He makes the case for microcaps as one of the market's last true structural edges — citing research showing 87% of stocks that returned 10x or more over the past decade started as microcaps, and 91% of those were already profitable businesses, not speculative stories. Institutions, he argues, are locked out not by risk but by illiquidity itself.Cassel also opens up about the mentors who shaped him, including a message-board trader named Skip who taught him that a stock is “a buy or a sell,” never a hold — and that if you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is, you should keep quiet. He's candid, too, about his own losing streaks, the temptation to double down on losing positions, and a Porsche-and-Rolex purchase he now looks back on with some embarrassment.The conversation closes on something bigger than markets: Cassel's belief that “the secret to compounding” isn't just financial — it's showing up, present, for the people you love, today, rather than waiting for some future payoff.The book: The Stock Picker: How to Develop the Mindset, Temperament, and Strategy to Outperform Wall Street.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Why leave state for a 10K? In this episode, Letti and Ryan dive into their weekend trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Around the Crown 10K Together with Truist! What was supposed to be a fun family getaway turned into an epic mini-marathon experience complete with closed highways, 10,000 runners, and unbeatable community energy. From line dancing at the shakeout run to flying through the inner lanes of Interstate 277 and exploring the US National Whitewater Center, we break down why Charlotte is a top-tier destination race for runners of all levels.

In this episode Rich sits down with Rondi Lambeth who explains how business owners can legally reduce their taxes through corporate structuring, income shifting, asset protection, and lesser-known provisions in the tax code. Rondi breaks down why he believes most entrepreneurs pay more taxes than legally required, how companies like Apple shift income between jurisdictions, and how combining operating companies, holding companies, and C corporations can potentially change how business income is taxed.They also take a deep dive into the Augusta Rule, including how business owners may rent their homes to their companies for up to 14 days and receive the income tax-free when properly documented. Rondi covers employing your children, Section 179, bonus depreciation, depreciation recapture, and using real estate, vehicles, energy investments, and job creation to reduce taxable income. He also shares how he recovered after losing nearly $5 million following COVID and reveals the financial principles he wishes he had understood earlier.Listeners can get Fortress Tax's $2,497 Tax Assessment for just $997.

Send us Fan MailTrail running will humble you in the best way. Joanna Weiss joined me to tell the story of a gritty Indiana trail 10K that left her muddy, tired, and totally lit up, like she'd just discovered a new version of herself. She wasn't chasing a perfect pace or trying to run every step. She was learning how strong she could be when the course includes hills, rock scrambles, fallen trees, and the simple goal of staying upright.We dig into what makes trail races feel so different from the big road 5Ks most people start with. Joanna talks about how each event has its own “runner mix,” how the vibe changes depending on who hosts the race, and why the extra logistics (drives, buses into the woods, unpredictable conditions) can turn a run into an adventure. We also swap practical trail running tips: why you can't always zone out with music, how technical terrain forces better footwork, and how road routes can be a cleaner way to measure improvement when you want to track your progress.Then we get into the stuff that keeps you running: hydration for 5K and 10K distances, simple electrolyte habits, and strength training for runners that acts like “prehab,” especially if you've dealt with plantar fasciitis. Joanna also shares a mindset moment from racing alongside a 68-year-old who reframes “last place” and then surprises everyone with a strong finish, a reminder that confidence grows when you just start.Subscribe, share this with a friend who's nervous to try their first race, and leave a five-star review so more runners can find the show. coaching highlights You can reach out to us at:https://coffeycrewcoaching.comemail: Carla@coffeycrewcoaching.com FB @ Over the Next Hill Fitness GroupIG  @coffeycrewcoaching.comand Buy Me a Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Carlauhttps://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNH20https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNHBOGO?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fhydrapatch%C2%AE https://rnwy.life code: OTNH15 https://jambar.com code: CARLA20

Heather shares her journey from traveling the world as a speaker and author to building The Busy Trader and teaching people how to approach the stock market in a way that fits their lifestyle. She also breaks down one of her most eye-opening trading examples: Heather says she started with $800, continued trading that amount while moving profits into a high-yield savings account, and grew the account to roughly $80,000 over seven months. In this episode, Heather explains how options trading works, her Five Minute Trader system, LEAPS, taking profits off the table, converting trading profits into long-term investments, and why having more money does not automatically make someone a better trader. She also reveals how she traded to fund a roughly $65,000 family trip instead of using earned income and why she believes beginners should learn, practice with paper trading, and build the skill before increasing their risk. But this conversation goes far beyond the stock market. Heather and Ash discuss faith and finances, scarcity mindsets, childhood trauma, burnout, obedience, generosity, identity, and why building wealth should create freedom and impact—not become another form of bondage.

You write a $10K, $20K, maybe $50K check to your agency every month. Do those dollars produce signed cases, or just better-looking reports? In this solo episode, Chris Dreyer, CEO of Rankings.io, breaks down the red and green flags hiding inside your agency calls, reports, contracts, and strategy. He gets into the difference between metrics that predict performance and metrics that distract from it, why an agency needs visibility into your CRM and intake process, and what transparency looks like when results don't go according to plan. He also explains when impressions actually are the right metric and why the answer depends on whether you create demand or capture it. You'll learn: Which law firm marketing metrics should connect agency performance to signed cases and case value. The questions PI firm owners should ask when rankings improve but quality cases don't follow. When impressions and engagement are meaningful KPIs—and when they can distract from return on investment. Why understanding intake capacity and wanted conversion rates is a green flag when evaluating a marketing agency.
