A quiet question in a dark basement changed everything. George Cisneros went from Sunday routines and Broncos games to selling it all, moving his family to Guatemala, adopting five siblings, and building a boys' academy anchored in daily Scripture. The path wasn't polished—no sending agency, no perfect plan—just a hard yes and a habit of showing up when it mattered most.We walk through the moment that sparked his calling, the year of praying a single sentence that reordered his priorities, and the trip that revealed a different kind of wealth in the worship of children who had little but gratitude. George shares the surprising realities of independent missions, how his church supported faithfully if modestly, and why a small village school with an hour of Bible each morning may be the most strategic lever for shaping future husbands, fathers, and leaders in Guatemala. His approach to Scripture—reading for width and depth—offers a practical map for anyone ready to move beyond skimming and into study that sticks.We also dig into the family's adoption story, the decision to keep siblings together against the odds, and what endurance sports taught him about long obedience under thin air. If you're exploring missions, George offers clear steps: get biblically grounded, put your house and finances in order, practice evangelism now, and build trust through a consistent newsletter. He even opens the playbook on fundraising that raised $140K in seven days from a small but engaged list. Warm, candid, and full of field-tested wisdom, this conversation invites you to trade hesitation for a faithful next step.If this story stirred something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—your support helps more listeners find these conversations and take their own step of faith.Let me know what you think of this episode?

In this episode, I'm joined by Gerard Davis, a qualified commercial solicitor and Business Development Manager at Talbots Law, to break down a real commercial property deal involving lock-up garages — and why this type of asset can be a smart, low-barrier entry point into commercial property.We talk through Gerard's purchase of 12 lock-up garages for £51,000, how he identified that the asset was significantly under-rented, and why the value in the deal came from fixing the income, not development. By using commercial agents to increase rents and re-let units properly, the income was stabilised and later supported a RICS valuation of £140,000.We also discuss how Gerard structured the deal long term by selling the asset into his SSAS pension, allowing rental income to be received tax free within the pension — and why getting the legal and professional advice right is critical when using this type of strategy.This episode is particularly useful if you're:Investing in residential and considering moving into commercialCurious about under-rented assets and income-led value creationExploring lock-ups as a first commercial investmentInterested in pension-led property strategies such as SSASTalbots Law: https://www.talbotslaw.co.uk/site/people/gerard-davis/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerard-davis-solicitor-a1a923155/

From Complexity to Consistency: Doug C. Brown on Predictable Revenue, Follow-Up & Sales Systems In this episode of SAaes Simplified, I sit down with Doug C. Brown, CEO of CEO Sales Strategies and a renowned sales revenue and profit growth expert, for a deeply honest conversation about what really drives sales performance and what silently holds it back.Doug has built 35+ businesses and helped generate over $960M in sales for himself and his clients. But this conversation goes beyond numbers. We explore how truth, accountability, systems, and follow-up can completely transform results  including one powerful story where a single mindset shift helped a salesperson go from $140K to $2.1M in commissions in one year.Rather than relying on hype, pressure, or “10X” promises, Doug breaks down a predictable, math-based approach to sales growth that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and human connection even in an AI-driven world.We cover:How honesty with yourself can unlock exponential growthWhy most sales teams struggle (and why it often starts with leadership)The real reason follow-up is where deals are won or lostHow Doug's math-based model creates predictable revenueWhy “10X thinking” often hurts more than it helpsThe compounding power of small, consistent improvementsDetaching from desperation and selling without pressureHow systems create freedom instead of burnoutWhere AI supports sales and where humans still matter mostWhat founders must focus on before scalingTakeaways:Growth accelerates when truth replaces ego.Follow-up is one of the most overlooked revenue drivers.Predictable sales come from systems, not motivation.Small improvements compound into massive results.Sales works best when it's rooted in service, not pressure.

I used to work 70 hours a week. Grinding to make 30-40K/ month. I used to wonder how I'd ever have a family AND the life that I wanted. In the 3-4 years before having my son… I figured it out. I was able to scale from 40K to 140K/month and I went from working 70 hours a week in that business to 4 hours a week in that business. Delegation and leadership played a part but the BIGGEST difference was learning how to increase LTV of every single client that came into my coaching (so I could work with LESS clients and make MORE money) and that's what I want to talk to you about today.  We'll talk about what LTV actually looks like, what you need before you start running ads, how to not make the same mistake I made that costs me 6 figures, and more!   Time Stamps:   (0:45) 70 Hours A Week When I First Started (2:07) Increasing LTV (5:25) Upcoming January 4th Workshop (5:50) The Mistake That Costed Me Multiple 6 Figures (10:57) The Backend Offer (12:05) LTV and Ads (12:50) Your Offer (13:59) My Maturity Leave ----------

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dig into Trump's latest anti-immigrant crackdown—from firing nearly 100 immigration judges to freezing visas and floating denaturalization — and what happens when policy is driven by panic instead of evidence. Then they break down the viral post arguing the real poverty line isn't $32K… it's closer to $140K, and why so many families feel stuck in the “Valley of Death.” Plus, Oxford just crowned “rage bait” as its Word of the Year, so they unpack how outrage became the internet's favorite currency — and what it means for our politics.

Jesse and Gabi Merl are a married power couple who rebuilt from bankruptcy and six-figure student loan debt to consistent multi–six-figure months through content, social selling, and smart investing. Jesse is a multi-exit tech entrepreneur turned YouTube creator behind “Jesse ON FIRE,” while Gabi is a hormone and cortisol-focused coach and social seller who built a thriving business from scratch using short-form content.​​ On this episode we talk about: How Jesse went from teen restaurant jobs to real estate, loans, a sports gaming startup, and ultimately a brutal acquisition that wiped out his stock and forced bankruptcy What it was like for Gabi to be pregnant with their third child, unable to practice acupuncture in a new state, and staring down six-figure student loans while deciding to jump into social selling How they rebuilt from absolute zero to over $140K/month in combined income by focusing on liquid wealth, real estate, and avoiding flashy lifestyle creep The content strategies behind “Jesse ON FIRE” and Gabi's Instagram/TikTok growth: niche selection, volume, repelling to attract, and showing up as an amplified version of yourself on camera Why most creators fail because they underestimate the time horizon (at least a year) and posting volume required before platforms reward them with real reach Top 3 Takeaways Rebuilding from zero is possible if you're willing to kill your ego, take the “soul-sucking” job when necessary, and then methodically build leverage through content and business again. Platforms reward consistency and volume; think in terms of posting multiple times per day for months, not a few posts per month, and commit to at least a year before expecting meaningful traction. The fastest way to stand out is to be specific: know your avatar, be willing to repel the wrong audience to attract the right one, and tell your story like you're talking to close friends—just slightly amplified for the camera. Notable Quotes "You have to repel to attract; if no one is a little mad, no one is truly magnetized to you." "The platforms are testing if you're going to be a consistent creator before they give you reach." "Content is just building relationships at scale—one story, one reaction, one video at a time."

Using the original poverty-line logic, a family of four needs nearly $140K just to break even, not thrive. Meanwhile, benefits cliffs trap working families as they try to climb the income ladder, causing many to end up worse off when they earn more. Chris exposes the broken math behind America's affordability crisis.

Today we'll be talking about Thailand tightening visa rules to curb abuse by repeat visitors, a German tourist losing 140,000 baht in a high-pressure scam in Pattaya, and a little later, a late-night earthquake rattling the island of Koh Samui.

You've got an underperformer on your team. They're missing targets, the rest of your people are watching, and you're losing sleep over it. Do you coach them through it or let them go? Make the wrong call and it could cost you six figures. One recruitment business owner discovered this the hard way when keeping someone for 11 months cost them £140K in lost revenue, £35K in salary, and nearly their top biller. Yet the opposite mistake is just as expensive: fire too quickly and you might lose someone who just needed the right support. Jane knows this firsthand. She was once ranked 250th out of 250 consultants, making 80-90 cold calls daily but placing nothing for six months, before the right coaching conversation turned her into a top-five performer within a year. In this episode, Katy and Jane break down the exact framework that helps you make this decision with confidence instead of agonising in that expensive no man's land. They reveal the critical difference between "can't do it" and "won't do it" and why confusing the two will drain your bank account and frustrate your best people. You'll hear the honest truth about why recruitment business owners struggle with this decision (hint: we want to be nice, and we're supposed to be good at hiring), and the specific patterns that tell you whether someone needs more time or needs to go. In This Episode: Discover the Can't vs Won't framework that diagnoses performance problems in weeks, not months, using activity metrics and behavioural patterns Learn the 5 core leadership needs you must nail before judging anyone's performance and why skipping this step sets you up for the wrong decision Understand how to have honest performance conversations without resorting to passive-aggressive midnight emails (we've all been there) Explore the 4-week rule that larger recruitment firms use to flag underperformance early, and why smaller agencies avoid it to their own detriment Recognise the warning signs that your top performers are watching and why tolerating mediocrity could cost you your best people Ready to stop second-guessing yourself? Listen now to get the free Cut vs Coach decision framework, complete with diagnostic checklists and conversation scripts that will save you months of stress and thousands in revenue. Whether you're currently avoiding a difficult decision or want to prevent this situation altogether, this episode gives you the clarity to act with confidence.

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, I sit down with Kenny Bedwell—seasoned real estate investor, Airbnb expert, and founder of STR Insights. With over eight years of experience in short-term rental investing, market analysis, and deal structuring, Kenny has helped more than 300 high-income professionals identify and acquire profitable Airbnb properties that generate consistent passive income and long-term wealth. Kenny shares how he transitioned from his role as a data analyst in Citibank's Equities Market to building a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio of short-term rental properties across the U.S. His data-driven investing strategies led to the creation of STR Insights—a powerful (and free) Airbnb investment analysis tool that helps real estate investors find the best cash-flowing markets and properties nationwide. We discuss how Kenny turned a simple house hack duplex into a six-figure vacation rental, how to analyze STR markets using hard data, and what separates top-performing Airbnbs from underperforming listings in saturated markets.

MoviePass became a cultural phenomenon—then imploded under new ownership. Founder Stacy Spikes bought the brand out of bankruptcy for ~$140K, relaunched, and delivered profitable 2023 and 2024—now unveiling Mogul, a fantasy-sports-style game for movies that could 10x ARPU versus subscriptions. In this episode, Spikes recaps the original data behind movie subscriptions (111% lift in theater attendance; concessions tailwind), what broke during the $10-per-month era, and why MoviePass 2.0 pairs a sustainable, any-theater subscription with a knowledge-based gaming platform (salary cap, leaderboards, seasonal play). We cover unit-economics realities (why exhibitors can subsidize with F&B and MoviePass can't), core user behavior and demographics, state-by-state fantasy rules, and the thesis that theatrical is still the #1 out-of-home entertainment globally. Investors get the scale path; founders get lessons on resurrecting a beloved brand—this time with the right business model.Highlights include…The rise, fall, and return: why the $10 unlimited era failed—and what's different nowData that started it all: subscription → +111% moviegoing; concessions economicsWhy Mogul (fantasy/prediction game) = higher ARPU, stickier engagementSubscriptions vs. exhibitors: pricing power, F&B offsets, and sustainable marginsCore user profile & frequency patterns; seasonalityState-by-state rules for knowledge-based contests (daily fantasy analog)Building a bigger ecosystem: MoviePass + MogulChapters00:00 Intro & why MoviePass still matters00:28 The cultural phenomenon & collapse01:20 Buying the brand back (~$140K) and relaunch03:22 Founding logic: subscription → more attendance04:42 What went wrong with $10 unlimited07:28 Fraud era, bankruptcy, and reset08:01 Profitable 2023/2024; what changed11:22 Unit economics vs. theater F&B12:38 Pivot to Mogul (fantasy/prediction)14:46 Knowledge-based contests, ARPU potential17:33 Current sub business: usage, demos, seasonality20:46 Growth plan & ecosystem vision22:52 Why theatrical is still king28:37 How to learn more & invest

How does a former Westpac mortgage broker become the #1 auction agent in the Belle Property network? Norman So, Principal and Agent at Belle Property Strathfield, has recently been named Belle Property's #1 auction agent and ranks #7 among all NSW agents. His journey from bank employee to one of Belle Property's top performers — now targeting $4M+ in annual GCI — demonstrates the power of market specialisation, innovative marketing, and systematic team building. Norman didn't just change careers; he transformed real estate marketing in Sydney's competitive western corridor. Starting with apartments in Homebush and quickly dominating Strathfield, his record-breaking $16.6 million sale redefined the suburb's price ceiling. Now running over 200 auctions annually, Norman credits his success to three game-changing strategies: leveraging influencer marketing, creating collaborative team structures, and maintaining relentless client communication. Meet Your Host: Claudio Encina Stepping in as host this week on behalf of Samantha McLean, Claudio is a former seven-figure real estate agent who built a thriving team, only to realise that success without fulfilment comes at a high cost. After feeling stressed, disconnected, and overwhelmed, he transformed his approach with expert coaching to create a model that delivers freedom, scale, and financial success. Today, Claudio has helped over 1,000 agents implement this model, enabling them to dominate their markets while living a life full of meaningful experiences. He believes that if your business doesn't work for you, then it's not working.

Mike Dillard has built three eight-figure businesses and spent two decades teaching entrepreneurs how to invest, grow passive income, and build long-term wealth. In this episode, he shares his hard-won lessons about building wealth in a world reshaped by AI, inflation, and disruption. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why accumulation and real assets beat risky bets in the long run. How AI will reshape the economy—bringing both deflation and massive unemployment. Why Bitcoin and gold are essential hedges against a declining dollar. The power of automation tools that take human emotion out of money management (and how to set them up). A tax strategy that lets you invest up to $140K per year—completely tax-free on the gains. How entrepreneurs can break free from the “make it, spend it, risk it” cycle and build lasting wealth. This is a playbook for anyone who wants to protect their family, create consistency in uncertain times, and set up a financial system that literally makes you richer every day. ________________________________________________________

Starting a StartUp: Build Something People WantNot you. If you are actually considering learning what it takes to win instead of falling for the "if we build it they will come" myth, you are already ahead of the game. Startup success boils down to one truth. Fastest team to learn, wins. Not the smartest, not the cleverest, not the richest. Just the team that learns, iterates, and executes faster than everyone else. Starting a StartUp isn't a feel-good startup manifesto; it's a battle-tested framework built for founders who want results (and are willing to do the hard work).With two decades of experience founding successful startups with multi-million dollar exits and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs, James Sinclair has developed a methodical, practical, step-by-step guide to winning in the real world.No theory. No fluff. No excuses.Before you write a single line of code, hire an engineer, or spend a dollar on development, you'll learn how to validate your idea, deeply understand your market, and build something people actually want and will pay for. Because distribution beats product every time, and customer trust isn't given - it's earned, one strategic step at a time.This is your guide that takes you from zero to paying customers without wasting time, money, or sanity. Real, actionable insights to avoid the costly mistakes that sink most first-time founders.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

In this episode, we suffer (literally) through Wool Craze, a yarn-peeling 3D puzzler that's taking the charts by storm. The crew dissects why this painful yet brilliant game is generating ~$100-120K daily on a DAU of just ~140K — all while flooding the market with AI-generated creatives.Key highlights:Gameplay & Pain: Long, punishing levels (20–30 minutes each), fat-finger frustration, endless rewarded ads. A grind that monetizes sunk-cost fallacy.Monetization: Aggressive rewarded ads, interstitial spam, “Fail Packs” as top IAP. Smart combo of bundles + F2P pain points.Scale: ~$60K/day from IAP, $30–40K/day from ads = ~$100K/day total.Creative Strategy: Wild diversity (20+ different concepts). Heavy use of AI for characters, interviews, and banners. Street interview trend, talking AIs, even knitted dwarfs.UA Lessons: Chinese devs (HeroLinkage / SparkWish) pushing huge creative volume. AI lowers production cost, drives constant testing.Prediction: Could follow Screwdom's trajectory ($400K/day). With retention benchmarks and UA firepower, scaling is inevitable.Takeaway: Pain + AI + aggressive monetization = money machine.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO, Metals ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-gold-producer-targets-500m-annual-cash-flow-by-2028-6846Recording date: 18th June, 2025Metals Exploration is executing a strategic transformation from a single-asset gold producer to a diversified mining company operating across the Philippines and Nicaragua. The company's Runruno mine in the Philippines currently generates $96 million in annual free cash flow while producing 70,000-80,000 ounces of gold, providing the financial foundation for aggressive expansion plans.The centerpiece of this growth strategy is the January 2025 acquisition of Condor Gold in Nicaragua, where Metals Exploration is rapidly constructing a new gold mine targeting 140,000 ounces annually by Q4 2026. Unlike previous development attempts constrained by external financing requirements, the company is using internal cash flows to optimize mine design, targeting 1.4 million tons annually compared to Condor's original 880,000-ton plan.CEO Darren Bowden brings 17 years of South American mining experience, positioning the company to navigate challenging jurisdictions where political risk perception creates entry barriers for competitors. The team has quickly established credibility in Nicaragua, securing contracts with the country's four largest companies and demonstrating operational progress that previous management failed to achieve over 12 years.In the Philippines, Metals Exploration is advancing multiple opportunities to extend operations beyond Runruno's 2026 closure. The most immediate prospect involves a VMS deposit 20 kilometers away containing zinc, copper, and gold mineralization. The company plans to repurpose existing plant infrastructure with a $20 million investment, targeting $1 billion in annual revenue by 2028.The investment thesis centers on exceptional cash flow generation, production growth from 70,000 to 140,000+ ounces annually, and significant cost advantages in both jurisdictions. Operating debt-free with drilling costs approximately 75% below US levels, Metals Exploration maintains financial flexibility while advancing multiple development pathways.With gold prices above $3,500 providing substantial margins and the company's self-funded approach eliminating dilution risk, Metals Exploration represents a compelling growth story in underexplored, politically complex markets where operational expertise creates competitive advantages.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
