Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Reports yesterday from FOX and the Athletic indicate that Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah might not participate in the Concacaf Gold Cup this summer for the USMNT. Both are coming off long European seasons with Milan, but it's a huge blow for Mauricio Pochettino and the national team. This summer is the last opportunity to have an extended window to work with players ahead of next summer's World Cup. With Gio Reyna, Weston McKennie, and Tim Weah already missing due to the Club World Cup, Pochettino's job gets that much more difficult to look ahead to 2026. It does create some opportunities for players to impress and play their way into deeper consideration for key roles in the World Cup though. Perhaps Diego Luna SZN is upon us?Tottenham Hotspur won an uninspiring Europa League final 1-0 over Manchester United. I think my prediction of it having the feel of a relegation playoff came true, Spurs were defensive and very un-Ange like in the win but it got the job done. They are in the Champions League next year while Manchester United does have the feel of a relegated club at the moment. 16th in the Premier League, out of Europe in 2025-26, losing out on somewhere between $100-150M because of that, and while they say they don't have to sell players to add in the summer window, that doesn't really seem possible for a club that has lost more than double the allowed amount in the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules. I'm not sure if Manchester United can be what we've known them to be any time soon due to their financial situation. 4 comebacks highlighted Lamar Hunt US Open Cup play last night as Minnesota, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Austin advanced while DC United and Red Bulls needed penalty shootouts to join them. The inauguaral Concacaf W Champions Cup final will see Tigres host Gotham on Saturday. The hosts won 2-0 over Portland in their semifinal last night while Gotham won 3-1 over Club America. In Club World Cup updates:Endrick will miss the tournament for Real Madrid due to a hamstring injuryJesus Vallejo will not see his contract extended with Madrid for the tournament, he's out of contract this summer. Johnny Cardoso is Atleti's top target as a defensive midfielder, although it's unclear if they could get it done ahead of the tournament. Spurs have a priority transfer option on the USMNT midfielder. Dome Torrent, former Pep Guardiola assistant and last at Atletico San Luis in Liga MX, is the new manager of Monterrey ahead of the tournament. Boca Juniors have settled on Gustavo Quinteros as their top candidate to become their new manager, but Sevilla are also interested in the current Velez coach. Wydad are looking for a new manager as they have parted "mutually" with Rhulani Mokwena. They finished third in the Moroccan league this season, missing out on the Champions League, and they are facing a transfer ban amidst reports of Mokwena working for several months without being paid. Miguel Cardoso is leading Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa into the Champions League final this weekend with Egypt's Pyramids FC. It will be over two legs. Then he will turn his attention towards the Club World Cup where he wants to "showcase our full potential." New ticket options available for the matches in Atlanta, check out FIFA.com/tickets.More Morning Espresso to be served up tomorrow morning.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, I interview a guest who shares their career journey from being a software developer to transitioning into business development in the government contracting industry. The guest discusses their experience managing a CSO (Customer Service Operations) and how it led to an opportunity to work for a government contracting company. We delve into the process of joining an 8(a) company that was graduating from the 8(a) program and acquiring CMMI Level 3 certification, which ultimately attracted the attention of GDIIT (General Dynamics Information Technology). We also got insights into the motivations behind GDIIT's acquisition of the company they worked for, including the value of the acquired company's CMMI certification and its strong presence in the civilian market. Also we talk about our guest's own aspirations of future acquisition and passing on the business to their sons. We also highlighted the importance of mentorship and the mentors who played a pivotal role in their transition from program management to business development, learning how to craft effective pitches for different audiences, and gaining confidence in their abilities.

While this makes intuitive sense on the surface, just how easy is it to build a sales team from scratch? Do you hire the leader first, or do you hire an individual contributor first? Does it matter if your sales reps have experience in your particular industry? How do you evaluate the success of new hires if you have a long sales cycle? How do you change an incentive compensation plan in the middle of a fiscal year? Should lead generation be outsourced or brought in-house? How involved should a SMB CEO be in sales? These are just some of the many questions that we explore with my guest this week, Dave Prusinksi. Dave is the Chief Revenue Officer at SafeAI, a hyper-growth silicon valley company in the autonomous vehicle space. Prior to his current role, Dave spent 10 years as the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at FleetComplete, a technology provider to fleet-owning businesses around the world. Under Dave's leadership, FleetComplete grew from $6M ARR to $150M in total revenue, achieving an average 50% revenue CAGR for 9 of his 10 years.  Dave played an integral role in the acquisition of 6 companies, leading the sales and marketing due diligence processes, and ultimately integrating the operations of the acquired businesses into that of FleetComplete.  Dave was also a central member of the deal team helping to lead FleetComplete through multiple investment and acquisition rounds themselves, managing the sales & marketing due diligence processes in each instance.  Dave has served as a Revenue Coach to several SMBs, working directly with their CEOs and Heads of Sales to optimize their sales and revenue generation processes. All of the companies with whom Dave has worked thus far have now exited with great success.  

We have more federal election coverage, including how former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney shamed Liberal leader Mark Carney for defying a court decision that the 'No More Pipelines Law' was unconstitutional.Episode 16 starts with emails from concerned readers and listeners who believe we're on the right track in holding elected officials accountable. A reader of our March 30th Sun column about rampant theft from convenience stores was struck by the similarities between the decline of public safety in his town and in Winnipeg. "Living in Edmonton I see the tent cities, the gang tags, the addicts in the transit stations, the robberies, the stabbings and other violence... even when you do not see it in person you see it in the media." We ask why it's controversial to suggest the leaders from the cultural communities associated with the perps should do something, beside virtue signal, to uphold the social norm that no one has a right to walk out of a store with arms full of stolen goods just because they think they're somehow "oppressed".13.00- On Saturday a donor from St. Boniface sent a contribution to the Season Six Support campaign along with their comments about two matters.First you'll hear his observations about the federal election and the failure of the Liberal regime to improve the standard of living in our community. Then he added, "On a provincial level I am interested on what Premier Kinew thought about the protests outside Gray Academy last week. I am not Jewish but I found that protest and behaviour abhorrent.  Adults, some of them masked, yelling at staff, parents and children is completely unacceptable. How could anyone at City Hall have allowed a protest at that location? "That is exactly the topic of our important Sunday column in the Winnipeg Sun: Winnipeg's Skokie moment: A disturbing rise in antisemitism. https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-winnipegs-skokie-moment-a-disturbing-rise-in-antisemitismWe add some background on the demonstration on April 1st by a mob of antisemites at the Jewish campus.24.30 Part 2- The rest of the local media has caught on to our report - ⁠ NDP Election Collapse Creating 2-Way Race⁠Why that's the case seemed to escape former provincial NDP cabinet minister Gord Mackintosh. We set him straight. Then a stern rebuke of Mark Carney was posted after he said he had⁠ no intention to repeal C-69⁠. "C-69 is *unconstitutional.* This is not optional, Mr. Carney."Jason Kenney exposed how Carney is willing to defy the Supreme Court to maintain his 'Net-Zero" globalist agenda. As Premier of Alberta, he proved the Liberal legislation was a completely illegal infringement on provincial rights. 35.30 - Independent journalists are being excluded from political rallies by by both the Carney and Poilievre campaigns. The singling out of Shadoe Davis by the CPC last week and then Caryma Sa'd by the Liberal campaign is an obstruction by the parties fearing the accountability process. @CarymaRules posted-The Mark Carney campaign has taken an anti-democratic stance by arbitrarily banning me from events, despite having no history of disruption or misconduct. “We know who you are.” And what exactly does that mean?With Carney pledging to throw another $150M to the CBC, which already gets over $800 per Canadian in subsidies, we need more voices asking more questions of politicians and bureaucrats.That's a good reason to take a moment this week to send a contribution to our funding drive and help us pay the freight to cover the federal election, the Legislature, and City Hall.*******COMMENTS/QUESTIONS/SPONSOR AND E-TRANSFER INQUIRIES:EMAIL MARTYGOLDLIVE@GMAIL.COM
