Both CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) just reported strong results, 24% ARR growth and a 34% free cash flow margin for CrowdStrike, and 25% revenue growth with 600%+ year-over-year flexible booking growth for Zscaler. But the stocks couldn't be more different: CrowdStrike is up 56% over the last 12 months trading at 128x free cash flow, while Zscaler is down 54% and now trading at just 24x free cash flow. Simon Erickson breaks down what's actually driving the divergence and which one he'd buy today.The key story in both earnings reports is Falcon Flex and Z Flex, flexible subscription platforms that let enterprise customers bundle modules and swap product lines without being locked into rigid contracts. CrowdStrike's Falcon Flex is now $2 billion of its $5.5 billion ARR, up 99% year over year, with 26% of customers proactively renewing early. Zscaler's Z Flex bookings jumped from $65 million to $480 million in a single year. This flexibility is becoming the dominant go-to-market model in cybersecurity, and both companies are executing it well.So why is Zscaler so cheap? Conservative 2027 guidance of 15-16% growth, partly because of its Red Canary acquisition for AI agent security, spooked the market. But Simon argues this is classic Zscaler sandbagging: the company consistently beats conservative guidance, Red Canary is already exceeding internal expectations (guidance raised from $130M to $137M ARR), and at 7x sales and 24x free cash flow, the valuation gap versus CrowdStrike is hard to justify. His verdict: if he's buying one today, it's Zscaler.Stocks Mentioned:CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD)Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS)SentinelOne (NYSE:S)ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML)Alphabet / Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL)#CrowdStrike #Zscaler #Cybersecurity #CybersecurityStocks #AIStocks #GrowthStocks #TechStocks #StockAnalysis #BuyTheDip #StocksToWatch #InvestingIn2026 #7investing #Simonerickson

Blake Schofield works with successful leaders and founders who feel drained, unfulfilled, and like their success doesn't feel the way it should—even though everything looks right on paper. After 18 years as a top-performing Fortune 500 executive—including turning around a $130M business at Target from –25% sales to positive growth for the first time in over a decade, delivering $7.5M in profit over plan, and building a new division at Stitch Fix to a 75,000-person waitlist in 11 months—she realized something most high performers don't see: They're not actually solving the root problem—and it's not because something is wrong with them. So they change jobs, start new businesses, go to therapy, hire coaches, or push through… but nothing actually fixes it. Because the issue isn't effort or capability. Episode Summary: Blake Schofield spent 18 years climbing the corporate ladder at Fortune 500 companies — leading turnarounds, scaling new divisions, and delivering results most executives only dream of. But behind the impressive résumé was a pattern she couldn't shake: six to nine months of excitement with every new role, followed by burnout, drain, and the nagging feeling that something was still missing. What she discovered in the years that followed changed everything. The problem wasn't the jobs, the bosses, or the industry — it was misalignment. And after investing over half a million dollars and tens of thousands of hours into understanding why traditional approaches fall short, she developed a framework around three core areas of misalignment that keep talented people stuck. Key Takeaways: - Changing jobs doesn't fix misalignment - Your natural wiring is unique - Most of our beliefs were formed before age 7 - Environment matters more than we think - Asking for help is a strength - Trust the unsettled feeling Episode Chapters: [00:00:00] — Cold Open: The Power of Beliefs [00:00:48] — What You'll Learn Today [00:01:08] — Welcome & Guest Introduction [00:02:22] — Blake's Story: From Psychology to Corporate to Burnout [00:05:03] — The Breaking Point at Stitch Fix [00:07:30] — The Misalignment Framework: Why the Same Cycles Keep Repeating [00:10:41] — Misalignment #1: How You're Naturally Wired to Thrive [00:14:59] — Misalignment #2: Beliefs and Conditioning [00:17:37] — Shining the Mirror: Blake's Coaching Philosophy [00:19:11] — Misalignment #3: Environment [00:20:53] — Who Blake Works With [00:21:20] — What Inspires Blake [00:23:31] — Blake's Podcast: Impact with Ease [00:25:39] — The Entrepreneurship Wake-Up Call [00:29:35] — Final Takeaways from Blake [00:30:52] — Outro & Show Close
In this episode, Chris sits down with Rex Glendenning, founder of REX Real Estate and the man known across North Texas as the "King of Dirt." Rex is a fourth-generation Celina native whose great-grandfather homesteaded 160 acres in 1887. Over the last four decades he's brokered billions in DFW land deals - including the $130M public-private partnership that brought the Cowboys to Frisco - while quietly running a 4-broker shop out of his hometown. Chris and Rex unpack his patience-and-dirt playbook, why he believes DFW is becoming the financial epicenter of America, and how he reads a real estate cycle years ahead of the rest of the industry. They discuss: How Rex originated the Star deal in 60 days - and why Frisco won the Cowboys instead of Irving His foundational theory: why every American city grows north (with one exception) 40 years of plowing every dollar back into dirt Why he believes DFW becomes "Y'all Street" Why he never scaled past three brokers His read on where we are in the cycle Timestamps: (05:20) Learning When to Shut Up in Business and Life(08:53) Growing Up Rural in Salina & the Work Ethic It Built(11:02) Why Every City in America Grows North(14:18) Betting on the Pandemic: $1 Billion in Deals with Just His Wife(23:38) The Star Deal: How Rex Helped Move the Dallas Cowboys to Frisco(30:23) Small Towns vs. Big Cities: The Public-Private Partnership Advantage(40:24) DFW Airport as the Hidden Engine of North Texas Growth(44:06) The H-1B Visa Pullback & Its Real Impact on the Housing Market(48:11) How Rex Thinks About Surviving a Recession(56:23) Will an "Artery Pop" in '26 or '27?(01:00:26) Why Rex Is Worth 6%: Full-Service vs. Order-Taking Brokers(01:04:43) Selling the Same Ranch 7 Times Over 40 Years(01:19:03) What Keeps Rex Up at Night: Reading the Current Market Cycle Support our SponsorsCollateral Partners: https://collateral.com/fort Chris on Social Media:X: https://x.com/fortworthchrisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepowerspodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrispowersjr/ Visit our website: https://www.powerspod.com/Leave a review on Apple: https://bit.ly/45crFD0Leave a review on Spotify: https://bit.ly/3Krl9jO
Send us Fan MailPitcher injuries are mounting especially if you wear an Astros uniform. We didn't mention the passing of Davey Lopes which was our mistake. Lopes stole 552 bases and was a member of the Dodgers infield for 10 years. No teams have made much noise aside from the #dodgers. #pirates rookie Konnor Griffin got paid inking a 9-year $130M contract. #yankees are succeeding despite getting less than expected from reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge as well as being swept by the #Rats. Do you know who invented the split-fingered fastball? It's made a resurgence and we talk about the history of the pitch, why it fell out of favor, and why it's back better than ever!

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Lynn Perry, founder of Central Milling, for a deeply meaningful conversation on excellence, faith, and building a business that truly serves people.Lynn shares how a simple idea rooted in chemical-free farming evolved into a nine-figure organic flour business over four decades, but what stands out is not the scale, it's the intention behind it. From obsessing over product quality to creating flour tailored for world-class bakers, Lynn reveals how a commitment to craftsmanship turned a commodity into something extraordinary.The conversation takes a powerful turn as Lynn reflects on a life-changing experience with his daughter that reshaped his perspective on leadership, service, and purpose. That mindset ultimately influenced one of his proudest decisions, implementing an ESOP that created life changing wealth for employees across the company.This episode is for leaders and entrepreneurs on building with heart, leading with principle, and proving that true success comes from creating value far beyond yourself.

Chardet dispute shows how AI will kill software licensing, argues Bruce Perens on the Register Also see this GitHub issue. Dan Blanchard, maintainer of a Python character encoding detection library called chardet, released a new version of the library under a new software license.

Thread-safe detect() and detect_all() with no measurable overhead; scales on free-threaded Python 3.13t+ An individual claiming to be Mark Pilgrim, the original creator of the library, opened an issue in the project's GitHub repo arguing that Blanchard had no right to change the software license, citing the LPGL requirement that the license remain unchanged. A 'complete rewrite' is irrelevant, since they had ample exposure to the originally licensed code (i.e. this is not a 'clean room' implementation). Blanchard disagreed, citing how version 7.0.0 and 6.0.0 compare when subjected to JPlag, a library for detecting plagiarism. Blanchard told The Register he had wanted to get chardet added to the Python standard library for more than a decade since it's a core dependency to most Python projects.

Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason is taking in the early workouts in Bradenton after pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Nick Castellanos just got released by the Phillies, but Jason does not anticipate the Pirates having any interest there. Jason does not think talks have begun between the Pirates and Konnor Griffin on a contract extension. Jason guessed it would need to be close to the Roman Anthony deal with the Red Sox, which was worth $130M total. Jason said there is a ‘very good chance' Griffin is on the Opening Day roster and he will have every opportunity throughout the spring, similar to Jared Jones, to prove it. Jason said there are no questions defensively for Griffin and he can play a mix of shortstop and outfield. Jason is a little less optimistic that the Pirates will sign a left-handed pitcher before the season begins. He projected that they have ‘maybe a half dozen' options at 3B outside of the organization. Jason has the Pirates as an 84-85 win team right now.
Sidney Crosby has begun his quest for a third Olympic gold medal as Canada blanked Czechia, 5-0 earlier today. Poni had a big question for people in Pittsburgh – are you rooting for the United States or Canada? It sounds silly, but a recent poll showed that 40% of Penguins fans are rooting for 87 to win another gold. Team USA doesn't have anyone from the Penguins current roster, but it has a former coach and Stanley Cup champion in charge. Mullsy got annoyed late in the segment and decided he would also root for Canada and Crosby. Do callers want Team USA hockey to win gold or another one for Sidney Crosby and Canada? One wild man said he wouldn't care if Crosby broke his leg in the games. Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show.

Hacienda vuelve con la idea de neutralizar las bonificaciones autonómicas en Sucesiones y Donaciones con un gravamen estatal “a lo Grandes Fortunas”, para que aunque tu CCAA bonifique al 99% tú acabes pagando igual al Estado. Según el enfoque difundido, esto encarecería herencias y donaciones hasta en 520M€ al año (subida de recaudación estimada del 16% hasta ~3.650M€, frente a ~3.130M€ en 2024) y llega justo cuando las bonificaciones se han extendido en varias regiones. Hoy lo aterrizamos sin cuentos: qué quieren hacer, por qué lo llaman “dumping fiscal”, cómo te impacta si heredas vivienda, y por qué esta guerra fiscal suele acabar en lo de siempre: más prisa por donar, más ingeniería legal y el ciudadano pagando el “equilibrio” del sistema. ✅¿Necesitas un PSI (Personal Shopper Inmobiliario) para acompañarte a invertir en bienes raíces en la Com.Madrid?: magnatesladrillo@gmail.com✅Si vas en serio «La Biblia del Magnate del Ladrillo» está AQUÍ✅

In this episode, Lisa and JJ discuss:Rethinking post-high school pathways and expanding what counts as a successful career beyond the traditional four-year college pathThe role of curiosity, exposure, and hands-on experiences in meaningful career explorationThe growing need for skilled and technical workers across multiple industriesSupporting young people in finding aligned career paths without stigma or judgmentKey Takeaways: Parents and educators can use the same exploration tactics typically used for college-bound students, such as campus visits, informational interviews, and employer outreach, to explore skilled careers through community colleges, apprenticeships, unions, and employer-led training programs.Many high-demand, high-paying careers in construction, manufacturing, supply chain, energy, transportation, facilities operations, and media production do not require a four-year degree yet still offer advancement, entrepreneurship, and long-term stability.Early and repeated exposure starting in elementary and middle school helps normalize skilled careers by showing how interests like sports, music, entertainment, and technology rely on behind-the-scenes technical and trade-based roles.Focusing first on developing a concrete skill, such as welding, carpentry, sound engineering, plumbing, or video production, allows careers to evolve organically into leadership roles, business ownership, storytelling, or adjacent industries over time. “Develop the skill and then be open to where it takes you.” – JJ OwenAbout JJ Owen: JJ Owen is the Executive Director of the Skilled Careers Coalition, leading efforts to reframe skilled trades as high-purpose, high-pay careers and connect Gen Z to construction, manufacturing, and technical fields. A strategist and coalition builder, he has focused on field building, systems change, and grassroots engagement. At the Movember Foundation, he grew the U.S. movement to over one million participants and $130M raised. He later held senior partnership roles at Warner Bros.

In Episode 86, Yitzy Hammer interviews Ran Neuner (aka “Crypto Man Ran”), co-founder of Crypto Banter, to unpack the real story behind the brand: the childhood hustle that revealed his entrepreneurial wiring, the obsessive “must-win” mindset he calls constructive paranoia, and the hard-earned lessons from building a company to a reported $150M sale—then later watching $130M evaporate in days during the LUNA collapse.Ran walks through how he went from fired stockbroker to founder of Africa's largest sales & marketing agency, why linear businesses eventually frustrated him, and how a Harvard network-effects framework helped him see crypto as networks + commodities - and why that matters for the future of markets. He also shares how CNBC Crypto Trader started (and why it became a pipeline to the biggest names in crypto), how Crypto Banter unexpectedly exploded on YouTube, and how he learned to handle public criticism when you're “the face” during volatile cycles.Finally, Ran gives his early-2026 take on crypto - why he expects a major “catch-up trade,” what would make him question the thesis, and how to think about investing when narratives break.What you'll learnThe psychology of high performance: obsession, OCD loops, and “winning against yourself”Building, losing, and rebuilding: dot-com crash parallels + LUNA lessonsWhy networks dominate (Metcalfe's Law + Barabási) and how that maps to cryptoBehind the scenes of launching the world's first televised crypto show on CNBC (2017)Scaling Crypto Banter, monetization, and dealing with hate comments at scaleRan's framework for 2026: commodities, tech, AI agents, and crypto's roleChapters (approx.)00:01 – Intro: who is Ran Neuner?02:30 – “Winning” obsession + constructive paranoia13:20 – Israel → South Africa + early entrepreneurship16:15 – The stockbroker story (and getting fired)21:40 – Dot-com crash, insolvency, and the J-curve28:45 – Building Africa's largest marketing agency + $150M sale32:40 – Harvard, network effects, and why crypto clicked39:50 – CNBC Crypto Trader: the first televised crypto show (2017)46:00 – The coffee shop YouTube era → Crypto Banter explosion49:45 – LUNA: “I lost $130M in four days”55:20 – Monetizing Banter + rebuilding01:01:15 – 2026 outlook: catch-up trade vs thesis check

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews John D. Marvin, former President and CEO of Texas State Optical, shares his 25-year journey leading one of America's most iconic optical brands. He talks about growing the company from 100 to 130 locations and over $130 million in annual revenue, adapting to major industry disruptions, and mentoring the next generation of optometrists. John also dives into lessons on leadership, faith over fear, and the power of listening to customers. His story is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and building purpose-driven growth in a changing marketplace. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to John D. Marvin, the hardest thing about growing a small business is implementing change. He explains that it's easy to keep doing what's familiar, but real growth requires the courage to challenge old habits and adapt to new realities. Marvin points out that while individuals struggle with personal change, organizational change is even tougher—because it involves employees, resistance, and the fear of losing people. Yet, without embracing change, he says, a business risks becoming irrelevant. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? John D. Marvin's favorite business book is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. He says it has helped him the most because it lays out the 13 core principles of success, not just for making money but for living a rich and meaningful life. For Marvin, the biggest lesson from the book is that success begins with mastering your thoughts — what you focus on and believe ultimately shapes the results you achieve. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? John D. Marvin, former President and CEO of Texas State Optical, recommends continuously learning from great resources to grow a small business. He often listens to John Maxwell's Leadership Podcast for insights on personal and team development, and explores podcasts or materials by authors whose books he's currently reading to deepen his understanding. Marvin emphasizes the value of ongoing education through audiobooks and practical leadership content, believing that consistent learning, reflection, and application are key to adapting and thriving in business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? John D. Marvin recommends using strong time management and scheduling tools to grow a small business. He believes that success often comes down to discipline — keeping promises, managing priorities, and staying organized. Marvin emphasizes using a reliable calendar or planner, whether digital (like Apple Calendar) or traditional (such as Franklin Covey or Day-Timer systems), to plan ahead and follow through on commitments. For him, effective scheduling isn't just about productivity — it's about building trust, consistency, and professionalism, which are the real foundations of sustainable business growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? John D. Marvin says the advice he'd give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple but powerful — just start. He admits that in his early years, he often delayed taking action because he felt he needed to study more or perfect his plan first. Over time, he realized that true learning and progress only happen through doing, not waiting. Marvin compares it to climbing mountains — you build the skills and confidence to tackle bigger challenges by starting with smaller ones. His message to new entrepreneurs: don't wait for perfect conditions — take the first step, learn along the way, and keep climbing.

Everything is about national security. Especially right now. From troops in US streets, to strikes on boats in the Caribbean, to Ukraine and Putin, to Trump's crazy and now regular speeches to military audiences. There's lots of chaos and drama. But the chaos and drama about war and conflict are most important. And it sounds like Trump and Hegseth want more. Former CNN National Security reporter and veteran Pentagon press leader Barbara Starr is a highly-respected and wise legend in journalism. For decades, she's covered the military, Secretaries of Defense and Presidents. She's seen it all. But like Ohatani last night, or the magnitude of Hurricane Melissa slamming into Jamaica right now, nobody's seen the stuff we're seeing now from Trump and Hegseth focused in and around our military. And it may be coming to your city or two next. Barbara returns to break down an America at the tipping point on the latest daily episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff). They tackle the new threats facing the U.S. military, the politicization of the armed forces, attacks on the Pentagon press corps, lessons from Venezuela, and the importance of defending the Constitution and press freedom amid chaos. Barbara also shares the vital importance of the First Amendment as the constitutional backbone of democracy, and why mentorship, courage, and vigilance are essential for journalists, troops, and citizens alike. Topped with uplifting reflections on Shohei Ohtani's sportsmanship, the lessons of Sandy Kofax, and the enduring strength of the Constitution, this is a must-listen for anyone invested in America's future who wants to stay ahead of the news. And understand what's most important.

Gaslit Nation is excited to announce a new show, for our subscribers, featuring Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, a researcher on investigative journalist Craig Unger's bestselling books House of Trump, House of Putin and American Kompromat. “The oligarchs see the people like the sh*t they grow their money in.” That's what Andrea heard while living in Ukraine in 2006, and it perfectly captures the crisis the world faces today. Chaos weapon Donald Trump is a reality TV star of terror whose job is to destroy laws, regulations, and protections to enrich the shadowy elite profiting from global misery. They hide behind Trump. It's time to make them famous. Follow the Money will feature Andrea and Olga every week, exposing who's getting rich off Trump, Putin, and other merchants of chaos, and what can be done about it. Gen Z is rising up. In this special episode, community organizer and school board official Bushra Amiwala, now running for Congress in Illinois's 9th District, shares her story, her generation's view of a world in turmoil, and how they plan to build a more progressive and inclusive future, with our help. For our Patreon subscribers who keep Gaslit Nation's independent journalism alive, we'll see you today at the Gaslit Nation Salon at 4 p.m. ET. The Zoom link is available on Patreon.
