The announcement came two weeks after Cracker Barrel backtracked on a separate plan to modernize and simplify its logo. Fans of the chain had also loudly criticized that move.

Scrappy ABM host Mason Cosby sits down with Nick Bennett on 1,000 Routes and tells the story behind a “little teeny tiny side hustle” that became “sold a million bucks” and then “another million” within months. Starting with a $25,000 win in March 2023 and a $150,000 deal that “backed out,” Mason lays out “project revenue,” the activation playbook, an $80,000 annual contract, and why “less is more” with “two service lines.” It's all inbound from LinkedIn and a podcast, plus “speaking engagements,” saying yes to interviews, and an “absurd number of webinars”—including 60 podcast interviews and 18 webinars in ~60 days that created over $2 million in pipeline.He gets “shockingly honest” about 120 hour weeks, a postpartum spouse editing podcasts, firing seven contractors, moving to W2s, and then learning seasonality and sales cycles. Mason explains why a debt free approach matters, how he's scaling out for a two-month paternity leave, and why he turned down six to seven million to stay focused on a mission: equip a million marketers with repeatable account-based playbooks by January 2035.Nick Bennett — host of 1,000 Routes. In this conversation, Nick steers the candid discussion on solopreneurship, scaling, contractors vs. W2, and the shift from “Mason the marketer” to “Mason the CEO.”

Ralph welcomes Palestinian-American writer, activist, and scientist Susan Abulhawa to discuss the ongoing Palestinian genocide and the evidence that supports a vastly higher death toll in Gaza.Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian-American writer and political activist. She is the author of Mornings in Jenin—translated into thirty languages—and The Blue Between Sky and Water. Born to refugees of the Six Day War of 1967, she moved to the United States as a teenager, graduated in biomedical science, and established a career in medical science. In July 2001, she founded “Playgrounds for Palestine,” a non-governmental children's organization dedicated to upholding the Right to Play for Palestinian children.I consider this, first of all, immoral. It's disrespecting the Palestinian dead while they kill the Palestinians who are still alive with US bombers and artillery shells and other weapons coming from Washington, D.C. And it underestimates the kind of urgency that should be confronting this genocide.Ralph NaderThis is something that I think generations will study for a very long time to come. The complicity of Western media across the board is no less criminal than the genocide itself.Susan AbulhawaThis is a complete wiping out of life. A total destruction. And it's completely driven by this unfathomable hate and colonial arrogance and Jewish supremacy and this notion of entitlement. Of being favored by God, of being promised some real estate by a real-estate-agent Lord. I mean, it beggars belief the narratives that we see spoken in mainstream outlets and in the halls of power. Truly, it beggars belief.Susan AbulhawaNo, I don't believe Israel has a right to exist. It has never had a right to exist. No political entities have a right to exist. People have a right to exist. They have a right to exist in their own homeland with dignity. People have a right to universal dignity. A supremacist ideology—and that's ultimately what Zionism is predicated on, on supremacy and entitlement for a group of people at the detriment of another group of people—that is not a right, and it should never be a right. It should be anathema, in fact.Susan AbulhawaNews 9/5/25* The Intercept reports AIPAC has lost another Democratic ally in Congress. Congresswoman Deborah Ross of North Carolina has pledged that she will not accept AIPAC campaign contributions in her 2026 reelection bid. In previous elections, Ross has accepted over $100,000 in AIPAC donations. This comes on the heels of another North Carolina Congresswoman, Valerie Foushee – who received over $800,000 in AIPAC contributions – also renouncing donations from the group. As the Intercept notes, in June, the North Carolina Democratic Party adopted a resolution calling for a “complete arms embargo on all military aid to Israel until it ends its apartheid rule of Palestinians.” Dr. Paul McAllister, a reverend and chair of the Interfaith Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party, is quoted saying “AIPAC uses the muscle of their resources to oust anyone who disagrees with them regarding Israel, the conduct of Israel and the atrocities that may be committed by the government of Israel — so it is good that Deborah Ross is willing to recognize and acknowledge that.”* In more Israel news, a new aid flotilla bound for Gaza departed from Genoa, Italy last Sunday. Unlike previous flotillas however, this one carries the protection of a surprising group: Italian dockworkers. According to POLITICO EU, “Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said…‘Around mid-September, these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe.'” Genoa has expressed unprecedented solidarity with Gaza. A food drive in the city collected “more than 300 tons of humanitarian aid…[and] over 40,000 people, including the city's mayor, Silvia Salis, joined a torchlit march through the streets in support of the [humanitarian flotilla on Saturday].” During the procession, Salis remarked “Every day I am proud to be the mayor of this city, but tonight, if possible, I am even more so.”* In yet another Israel story, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli cybersecurity apparatchik, who was arrested in August during an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators,” failed to appear for his court date in Nevada. Alexandrovich fled to Israel after being bailed out of jail in the U.S.; his lawyer, David Chesnoff, told the court that he told Alexandrovich not to attend the hearing. Judge Barbara Schifalacqua is now demanding that Alexandrovich appear before the court this week, but it remains to be seen whether he will actually show. This case has become politicized, with liberals and conservatives accusing one another of allowing Alexandrovich to flee the country. The government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu falsely denied that Alexandrovich was arrested at all. This from Al Jazeera.* In more sex predator news, Representatives Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor-Greene held a press conference this week with survivors of abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein to push for full disclosure of the Justice Department's files on the case. At this conference, survivors also said they will release their own list of names. This comes amidst a renewed push for Congressional action spearheaded by the survivors. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a batch of records, but most of these have been made public before. The survivors met with lawmakers this week, including Speaker Mike Johnson, who said “I think the Oversight probe is going to be wide and expansive, and they're going to follow the truth wherever it leads,” per the Washington Post. Congresswoman Nancy Mace was also seen emerging from a meeting with the survivors visibly upset, though we do not know what exactly was discussed in this meeting. What is clear is that the Epstein story is not going away any time soon.* In local news, the National Guard has shared a statement with CBS News' Scott MacFarlane in which they boast that, “Guardsmen have cleaned more than 3.2 miles of roadways, collected more than 500 bags of trash, and disposed of three truckloads of plant waste.” Looking beyond the absurdity of deploying the National Guard to pick up trash, Samuel Littauer, Commissioner of ANC 3C01 – a local government district in Washington – crunched the numbers and found that “DC's cleaning crews cover around 81 miles/day for around $150K/day… [while the] National Guard has cleaned a total of 3.2 miles and costs more than $1M/day.” This means, “It's about 170X more cost efficient per mile to fund DC's existing work.”* Yet, despite the staggering inefficiency of the federal occupation – to say nothing of the outrageous, authoritarian government overreach – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed an order outlining how the District will “continue to work with the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, U.S. Park Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, [and] the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,” according to WTOP. This report notes that, “Bowser's order provides a path for working with federal law enforcement…[a] public indication that federal law enforcement could remain in the city indefinitely.” Other D.C. officials, including the District's delegate in Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton, have decried the occupation. Unfortunately, Norton is not even afforded the power of a single vote in Congress. This debacle further underscores the necessity for sovereign statehood for D.C.* In more news of federal law enforcement overreach, Prem Thakker of Zeteo reports new figures that show, “61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.” Thakker goes on to report that “According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.” This unjustifiable mass detention shows no signs of slowing down, with ICE being granted larger and larger budgets and more and more latitude by the administration. The parallels to other shadowy secret police organizations throughout history continue to grow more pronounced.* Labor Notes editor Luis Feliz Leon reports Columbia University is seeking to bust graduate worker unions – at Columbia and beyond. A statement from the union reads “Over the summer, the university expelled and suspended 80 students, eliminated all but ten…graduate instructor jobs, and filed an Unfair Labor Practice Charge that could reshape the future of higher ed.” This marks yet another blow to the august reputation of Columbia, already damaged by their authoritarian overreaction to pro-Palestine protests and their capitulation to borderline extortion by Trump.* In the federal government, Trump continues to attack critical safety regulators. Reuters reports, “Two of the three remaining commissioners at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. nuclear safety watchdog, told a Senate hearing on Wednesday they feel President Donald Trump could fire them if they obstruct his goal to approve reactors faster.” Trump, via executive order, has committed the United States to, “fast-tracking new reactor licenses and quadrupling U.S. nuclear energy capacity by 2050…while also reducing staffing at the NRC.” The Commission is already down to just three members from its usual five and according to this report, “a dozen senior level managers…have left or announced they will leave since January, and…143 staff departed between January and June.” The Commission is currently considering five reactor applications and “expects another 25 to 30 soon.” Whatever one's thoughts are on nuclear energy in general, it is wildly irresponsible and dangerous to consider these reactor proposals by a commission short-staffed and constantly threatened with dismissal.* Finally, the Government Accountability Project has submitted a stunning whistleblower complaint on behalf of Chuck Borges, Chief Data Officer at the Social Security Administration. This complaint concerns “serious data security lapses, evidently orchestrated by DOGE officials, currently employed as SSA employees, that risk the security of over 300 million Americans' Social Security data…including apparent systemic data security violations, uninhibited administrative access to highly sensitive production environments, and potential violations of federal privacy laws by DOGE personnel.” The most critical violation is the DOGE staffers' move to “create a live copy of the country's Social Security information in a cloud environment that circumvents oversight.” As this complaint explains, “This vulnerable cloud environment is effectively a live copy of the entire country's Social Security information…that…lacks any security oversight from SSA or tracking to determine who is accessing or has accessed the copy of this data.” This includes “all data submitted in an application for a United States Social Security card—including the name of the applicant, place and date of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, parents' names and social security numbers, phone number, address, and other personal information.” If this data were to be compromised – as is eminently possible given the unsecured and unsupervised nature of the cloud copy, “Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital healthcare and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security Number.” This staggering degree of carelessness and incompetence is almost unbelievable, if not for the fact that it comports perfectly with the DOGE track record. We can only hope lawmakers and regulators take swift action to shut down this ticking timebomb of data before it's too late.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Send us a textWhat happens when you gather six successful franchise owners in one room and ask them to share their unfiltered insights? You get a masterclass in franchise reality that cuts through the noise and marketing hype.The Franchise Insiders team brings decades of combined experience as both franchise owners and consultants to deliver a refreshingly honest look at what's actually working in franchising today. This special roundtable episode features Jack and Jill alongside their expert consultant team: David San Juan (Pinks franchise owner), Brian Gross (former Art of Drawers owner with financial expertise), Morgan Noller and Kathryn Allen (both award-winning Soccer Stars franchisees).From the beginning, the conversation dives deep into which franchise categories are genuinely overrated versus those flying under the radar with exceptional returns. The team unanimously warns against common pitfalls like overvaluing existing business purchases on BizBuySell ("most of what's on there is junk") and chasing trendy fitness or food concepts with razor-thin margins. Instead, they highlight the remarkable opportunities in "unsexy" sectors like home services, B2B facility solutions, and senior care – where average revenues reach 7 figures on investments as low as $150K.Perhaps most valuable is their candid discussion about misconceptions plaguing new franchise owners. The myth of "passive" franchise ownership gets thoroughly debunked as Catherine shares how her MVP status required "working 80-hour weeks... seven days a week" initially. David adds a recent lesson from covering for his general manager: "I made a mistake putting too much on one person and not learning the business ins and outs."The conversation explores AI's transformative impact on franchising, 2025 trends including private equity's growing interest in successful franchisees, and practical wisdom about financial runways and proper validation techniques. The team even shares a lightning round of which franchises they'd personally invest $250K in right now.Ready to cut through the franchise marketing noise and hear what really works?

We break down Epic Plane Evolution – Voodoo's hypercasual throwback hit that's pulling in ~$150K/day in ad revenue with over 100K daily downloads.Key insights:Gameplay: Players start with a broken cardboard plane and unlock wings, tails, and rockets through upgrades. Controls are intentionally clunky — planes crash often, driving engagement and retries.Monetization: Heavy use of rewarded ads (“convert or die” mechanic) and interstitial spam. iOS users see gems + VIP purchases, while Android has no gems at all, leading to 80–85% of revenue coming from iOS.Retention: Despite frustration, average playtime is ~13 minutes/day across 3 sessions, powered by the addictive slingshot mechanic.Revenue Mix: Estimated $150K/day, 80–84% ads, minimal IAP. VIP subscriptions and gem bundles exist only on iOS.Creative Strategy: Basic hypercasual creatives (gates + plane gameplay). Some gameplay ads actually teach players how to steer — a sign of design flaws.Market Context: Falls under “Arcade Driving” genre, sitting alongside Hill Climb Racing & Traffic Rider. Current run rate ~$10M annually, but easily cloneable. Vietnam devs likely to copy/expand with IAP depth.Future Potential: If Voodoo adds events/meta (e.g. Legend of Slime style), this could evolve from hypercasual into hybrid-casual. But for now, it's a hypercasual money-printing surprise hit.Takeaway: Epic Plane Evolution proves hypercasual isn't dead — it just needs the right loop, frustration, and ads.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.

Today's lineup is wild: Feds say a group of veterans swiped over $150K from an Air Force base's sports program in Florida (06:57). The Pentagon just showed off a warship with ZERO crew — a real ghost ship sailing into the future of warfare (16:58). We also salute the last American fighter ace of WWII, who flew into history at 103 (34:16). And on this day in 1957, the Soviets dropped a bombshell — the first-ever ICBM test that proved no corner of the globe was safe (39:47). Strap in, this episode's got scandal, innovation, heroes, and Cold War chills all in one shot! https://lateforchangeover.com/

Think tax planning is only for billionaires? Think again. In this episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, we break down why middle-income, dual-earner families often see the biggest savings — and how accountants can turn complexity into opportunity.You'll hear how a $150K household (one spouse W-2, one spouse 1099) can unlock $10K–$20K in annual savings through smart strategies like entity optimization, retirement planning, health benefits, and quarterly tax alignment. More importantly, we'll show you how to position tax concierge services that pay for themselves many times over.

I didn't grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers. I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.In this episode, I'm walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model. These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I've seen take people out of business if they don't happen.And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first six-figure year to continue. What I didn't realize was that without healing, support, and emotional maturity, I couldn't hold it. I got isolated, overstimulated, and my undiagnosed ADHD left me stuck in shame. But everything changed in the last 2 months of that year—and I want to show you what made that shift possible.You'll hear me talk about:What allowed me to go from 70K in 10 months… to 80K in 2Why therapy and emotional processing—not just mindset work—kept me in businessHow shame and hyper-independence can sound logical but sabotage your growthWhy getting a job isn't a failure, and how I reframed safetyThe moment I stopped asking my business to rescue me from my feelingsSix shifts that changed my leadership, capacity, and revenue foreverIf you're stuck, rushing, or on the edge of burnout… this episode is your lifeline.Work with me: → Apply for private coaching. Options are on the application. → If you have established offers that are already selling: Join the waitlist for Reclamation Mastermind → DM me on Instagram @mariela.delamora to ask about $700 month-to-month Telegram-only coaching (no calls) - for those who want to focus on 1-2 specific areas before deciding to jump into private coaching or Reclamation

Why would anyone turn down a $400K salary? That's the question we're tackling today. We'll dive into the choice between a $150K engineering job and a high-stakes, high-reward sales role. CONQUER SHYNESS

What if I told you your accountant could be quietly costing you $150K or more every single year?In this 5 Minute Friday, I'm getting straight to the point: making money is one thing—keeping it is another. If your CPA's idea of “doing a great job” is just filing on time and avoiding an audit, you might be missing out on tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars in legally entitled savings. And no, this isn't about aggressive loopholes or risky moves—it's about strategy, awareness, and choosing the right financial team.I share stories from my own past—like getting hit with a surprise $62K tax bill early in my career—and what I've learned since about smart, proactive tax planning. This episode is a wake-up call for every orthodontist earning strong revenue but walking away with far less than they should. If your overhead is reasonable, your collections are solid, and you're still not seeing the wealth build? You're going to want to hear this.Quotes"Build your practice as big or as small as you want—but keep every single penny you're entitled by law to keep."- Dr. Glenn Krieger"Are you scared of an audit—or are you scared of leaving $50K on the table every year?"- Dr. Glenn Krieger  Key TakeawaysIntro + why this message matters (00:00)The CPA trap: doing the bare minimum isn't enough (01:45)Glenn's $62K lesson and how it changed everything (03:30)What questions to ask your accountant—today (05:10)Why “audit risk” is often an excuse, not a reason (06:40)Tools and terms to start asking about: Section 179, Opportunity Zones, R&D Credits (08:20)Final thought: If you're taking home $1.5M, why not keep an extra $150K? (10:00)Additional ResourcesThat's why these conversations matter. If your CPA isn't bringing new opportunities to the table, you're leaving money on it.

Some choose to grind a few more years in a high-paying job they dislike, aiming for an early, full stop at retirement. Others step into more fulfilling work that pays less, but adds purpose to their days—and often still results in more wealth than expected.Take John and Jennifer. Both start at age 50 with $1M saved and $150K salaries. John works five more years at a job he doesn't enjoy, retiring at 55 with $1.62M. Jennifer switches to work she loves at $100K for 10 years, retiring at 60 with $2.1M. The math is surprising—Jennifer ends up with more assets and more joy along the way.The concept? Recreational employment—working because you want to, not because you have to. Even modest income in “retirement” years can keep your portfolio compounding instead of depleting, lowering risk and increasing freedom.Your retirement strategy shouldn't just hit arbitrary financial targets—it should serve your life goals.

In this episode, I sit down with Greg Williamson—a broker, entrepreneur, and former tech exec—who's building a mortgage business from scratch after selling multiple companies.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1118: Auto loan approvals are climbing as vehicle demand heats up, Jaguar doubles down on its high-dollar EV future, and a new survey shows U.S. shoppers are still splurging on impulse buys.Show Notes with links:New data shows consumers may finally be catching a break in the auto loan market. Approvals are up, interest in buying is growing, and middle-income shoppers are more willing to make sacrifices to keep their vehicles.The New York Fed says auto loan rejection rates dropped sharply in Q2 2025 to 6.7%, down from a painful 19% last year.14% sought a loan in the past year, and more expect to apply in the coming months.Santander's latest survey shows 55% of middle-income consumers plan to buy a vehicle in the next 12 months, the highest reading in two years.Tariff fears are real: 18% of respondents sped up a big purchase in Q2 because of price uncertainty, with 41% of those buying a vehicle.Santander says this is the first time in eight quarters that buyers outnumber those delaying a purchase — a sign pent-up demand could finally be turning into sales.Jaguar is set on an electric, ultra-luxury future. Despite some loud critics, the brand is preparing a bespoke EV platform and three six-figure models designed to take on the industry's elite.Incoming JLR CEO PB Balaji says the brand's EV strategy is locked in, with positive early feedback from customers.Production of all current Jaguars except the F-Pace ended last year as the company stockpiled inventory.First new model — the GT — is a sleek, 600-hp electric sedan with about 425 miles of range and a $150K price tag, expected late next year as a 2027 model.A large, three-row electric crossover will follow in late 2027 or early 2028.The third entry is rumored to be a large, ultra-luxury electric sedan aimed at Rolls-Royce and Bentley buyers, due around 2030.While many Americans say they're trying to rein in discretionary spending, a new survey shows the vast majority still made at least one unplanned purchase last month.Optimum Retailing survey finds 72% of Americans made an unplanned in-store discretionary purchase in the past month.While 34% plan to cut back in the next six months, sales events (55%), eye-catching displays (45%), and immediate availability (26%) make spending hard to resist.Only 5% said in-store shopping no longer feels “worth it.”Many shoppers are sticking to a budget by cutting dining/takeout (48%), clothing/accessories (44%), and electronics/gadgets (37%).“Consumers today are cautious, but not unengaged… The moment and experience must both feel correct,” said Sam Vise, CEO of Optimum Retailing.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Two former Lululemon insiders took a conversation in a Vancouver hot tub and turned it into a multi-million dollar DTC swimwear brand built on real product expertise, trust in their partnership, and a clear vision of what women actually need in a swimsuit.In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Laura Low Ah Kee and Shannon Savage, the co-founders of Left On Friday, about how they pulled from over a decade of product experience at Lululemon to rethink what swimwear could be. Why were there still no suits that worked for movement and looked good too? What would happen if they applied everything they knew about fit, fabric, and function to a category that had barely evolved? That spark of an idea eventually became a focused product line, a growing team, and a brand that's now seen on Olympic athletes and Gwyneth Paltrow alike.Laura and Shannon share what it looked like to build their DTC business from the ground up using their own money, the value of starting small and negotiating smart, and how they've stayed committed to growth that's intentional and sustainable. You'll hear how they used their own networks, leaned on past experience, and figured out what to outsource along the way. They didn't just chase hype. They built something they wanted to last.If you've ever wondered how to turn deep experience into a brand with staying power, or how to balance vision with execution, this is the kind of conversation that makes you stop and think. What would you build if you fully trusted what you already know?Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet the Founders of Left On Friday03:22 The Hot Tub Conversation That Sparked a Brand07:48 From Lululemon to DTC: Using Experience to Fill a Market Gap15:15 Bootstrapping with $150K and Building for Longevity22:24 Profitability, Growth, and Staying Power in DTC33:35 Advice for Female Founders Ready to StartConnect with Laura Low Ah Kee & Shannon Savage:https://www.instagram.com/lowaks/https://www.instagram.com/shansavage/https://www.instagram.com/leftonfriday/Subscribe to The FoundHer Files: No fluff.
