Cathy Mazak just had the biggest launch of her career — $96,000 in two weeks, with 75 students enrolled. But until then, she had been stuck. Same email list. Same launches. Same program. The same 20-to-25 enrollments every time. Whatever you sell, if you've ever felt that flatline-launch frustration where the math just won't math, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Cathy walks Claire through exactly what she changed — the offer restructure (she changed the length of her program), the pricing experiment), the lead gen play that worked, and the mindset shift she now says was the real unlock. Cathy has been a Get Paid Marketing client for years, and Claire had a front-row seat to this entire turnaround. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: How Cathy went from enrolling 25 students per launch to 75 in a single round — with the same audience and the same program The 3-tier pricing strategy she rolled out — including the re-enrollment price that brought back her highest-paying alumni Why Cathy ran THREE separate info sessions for one launch (one for each segment of her audience) The free workshop that did the heavy lifting on lead gen — and exactly how she used ads to fill it The mindset shift that snapped her out of "woe is me" thinking and into "what do I actually have to do?" The exact sentence Cathy said to herself one morning that changed how she ran the entire launch About Cathy Mazak: Cathy Mazak is the founder of Scholar's Voice, where she helps university professors publish their backlog of academic papers through her signature program, Navigate. Before going full-time in her business, Cathy was a tenured full professor at the University of Puerto Rico for 15 years. Today, she's built Scholar's Voice into a multi-million dollar business, hosts the top-ranked podcast Academic Writing Amplified (300+ episodes), and is a long-time Get Paid Marketing client.

The old way of buying an MMP took weeks — sales calls, demos, contracts, CSM onboarding, documentation. Airbridge just collapsed that into a couple of hours. Core Plan: https://abr.ge/xqaqqluUse code Matej26 for bonus attributed installs!Matej Lančarič sits down with Roi Nam, CEO and founder of Airbridge, to unpack Core Plan — a self-serve, pay-as-you-go MMP that comes with 15,000 attributed installs free for a year. They get into why now (AI has driven a ~60% year-over-year jump in app releases, and those founders need measurement fast), who it's for (founders under $10M ARR, teams of 1-20, mostly consumer and subscription apps), how the AI-native onboarding works (MCP and an AI pilot that installs the SDK and builds reports for you), what got stripped out to keep it "core," and the roadmap — instant pre-SDK analysis from your ad accounts, easier web-to-app, and built-in signal engineering. On that last point: Roi shares how one sleep-tracking app cut CPA 27% with the simplest signal-engineering tactic — delaying the cancellation signal to Meta.The throughline: measurement should be as fast as the AI tools founders already use.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Meet Roi and Airbridge00:45 What Core Plan actually is — 15K free installs02:31 Why now — AI and the 60% jump in app releases05:04 How Core Plan differs from the enterprise plans07:15 The AI pilot and MCP — SDK install in 2 hours12:05 The roadmap — pre-SDK analysis and web-to-app14:18 Signal engineering and the 27% CPA win19:08 Who's signing up — the thick-tail app market━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The math of buying in has changed. The math of staying in has too. David Widmar of Agricultural Economic Insights and Eric Olsen of MNP Farm Management bring the US and Canadian numbers together to examine what farmland affordability, cash rent pressure, and the post-ZIRP interest rate environment actually mean for producers running a farm in 2026.

Most entrepreneurs don't get it right the first time. In fact, the average founder fails around four times before they land something that really works. What matters isn't avoiding failure, it's what you do to bounce back.In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, Greg sits down with entrepreneur and solopreneur mentor Moe Choice for an honest conversation about what it actually takes to rebuild after things fall apart. Moe has built 12 different businesses, lost everything more than once, gone through bankruptcy in Dubai, and had his plans completely disrupted during COVID. But instead of giving up, he doubled down on building a successful business designed around freedom. A big part of the conversation is about why skill alone isn't enough. Moe explains that many talented people stay stuck because they focus too much on improving their craft and not enough on learning how to position, market, and sell it. He also highlights how important focus is. Many solopreneurs jump between tactics, but Moe's breakthrough came when he committed to one channel, LinkedIn outreach, and stuck with it long enough to get genuinely good at it. That consistency became the foundation for rebuilding and eventually scaling his coaching business.  If you're building a business, this episode is a reminder that resilience matters just as much as strategy, and that sustainable success usually comes from simplifying, not complicating. Topics Discussed in this episode: 02:38 - Moe's entrepreneurial journey and how he built a $250K business on LinkedIn 07:00 - Why Moe's business in Dubai went from $400K profit to bankruptcy 12:49 - The benefits of creating an American LLC  17:13 - Moe's only regret from his failed Dubai business 21:17 - How Moe built his LinkedIn business coaching company  32:51 - Good enough is better than perfection 37:52 - How Moe helps solopreneurs reach 15K  53:29 - The difference between successful entrepreneurs and those who fail Mentions:  Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our newsletter Moe's LinkedIn  Moe's Website Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to succeed as a solopreneur!

My special guest on this episode is none other than my friend who shares a name with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time — but this is definitely not Tom Brady, the NFL legend. No touchdowns on the field here, but plenty in the investment sales game.   Tom Brady & I first met almost two decades ago at what was once known as Town Real Estate, here in the same office we're in today on 5th Avenue & 17th Street. Fast forward to today: Tom was recently a Managing Director at BKREA (BK Real Estate Advisors), run by Bob Knakal, also a friend of the pod, and has since transitioned to Douglas Elliman Commercial.    With nearly two decades in the NYC commercial real estate trenches, Tom specializes in Manhattan's mixed-use and multifamily investment sales. He's been closing major deals, including the Friars Club, a historic elevator building spanning 15K square feet across six floors with 33 feet of frontage, offering stunning architecture and flexible potential for private club, hospitality, embassy, or luxury residential use. The club in its heyday boasted members including Johnny Carson, Jimmy Fallon, and Joan Rivers, and was known for its comedy roasts of showbiz legends.    From navigating interest rates and office recovery to spotting opportunities in an evolving market, Tom brings that street-level expertise and war stories you don't want to miss.   Please give Tom a follow on IG @TVBNYC  

Today's guest is a multi-Latin-Grammy-winning songwriter and producer with a wall of platinum records — and one of the few people in music willing to say the quiet part out loud. He came up as an actor and a rapper, moved to LA broke, stumbled into songwriting, and turned it into the kind of career most writers spend a lifetime chasing. He's also built one of the sharpest voices in the room as the host of his own show, Good Luck With Gino.This is one of the most honest conversations we've had about how the music business actually works in 2026 — not the clean version, the real one. Why roughly 75% of working writers now survive on K-pop. How the pitch song quietly died and took the professional songwriter down with it. Artists taking songwriting credit on songs they didn't write — and exactly how labels split the writers up to play them against each other and shave points. Gino lays out the one rule every songwriter needs before their next cut, when it's worth standing on business, and when you "roll over like a dog" because the record's too big to lose.And The Writer Is... Gino The Ghost!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:• How he came up — actor, rapper, broke in LA, then stumbled into songwriting• Treating every podcast episode like an album of singles• Why ~75% of working writers now live off K-pop• What pitch records used to be — Clive Davis, Barry Manilow & the lost art of outside songs• The death of the professional songwriter (and why talent-show winners get nothing now)• Artists taking credit for songs they didn't write — and how to combat it• The "$15K buy-me-out" story & when to stand on business vs. roll over• The split shakedown — how labels pit writers against each other, and the rule that beats it• Why generosity makes you more money than being a prickAnd much more...

Working hard on the wrong thing and you can feel it, but you can't see it from inside the jar. In this episode, I break down the Decision Call format, what it is, why it works, and the pattern showing up across four very different SaaS partner businesses I ran calls with recently. One was a Microsoft partner at $800K running two business models pretending to be one. One was a Salesforce solopreneur serving nonprofits who couldn't pay her real rate. One was a NetSuite partner whose revenue had dropped from $75K a month to under $15K. One was a Zoho partner building bespoke AI with no packaged offer.

Rick McDonough of Typestries (Long Beach Island, NJ) joins Bryant and Michael for a long-overdue conversation about three decades in the sign business. Rick walks through the unlikely path from a lifeguarding magazine to a college dorm sign shop, the wholesale boom that nearly broke him, and the EFI walk-out moment that made him scrap the contract and rebuild the company around work he actually wanted to do. They get into why AI has Rick more energized than he's been in years, from the food truck cop who designed his entire wrap in ChatGPT, to the Claude-built inventory system that finally solved his missing-bin problem, to the $15K monument signs AI is now pre-selling before the client walks in the door. Plus: why "no ugly signs" is a business strategy, why presentation quality wins bids even when your design is worse, and the workforce cliff that should terrify every shop owner.In this episode:Rick's accidental path into signs (lifeguarding magazine, yearbook, first sandblasted wood sign)The "sald" menu disaster and why proofing is sacredStarting up in 1996 next to a cocaine distribution ringThree decades of equipment chases: Gerber Edge, the In CAD conversion fiasco, Gandy Innovations going bust overnightWalking out on a million-dollar EFI contract when he saw Four Over's order on the floorWhy he intentionally scaled the business down to four peopleThe wholesale vs. retail trap and how to outsource the right wayBurnout, almost selling, and the headmaster who talked him out of itThe food truck cop who changed Rick's mind on AIAI slop vs. good promptingUsing AI to pre-sell $15K signs before the client walks inWhen AI becomes a problem: the 5-vehicle wrap committeeWhat AI can't do: shop drawings, codes, wind load, soil conditionsThe lawn care guy to $3,500 truck wrap pipelineBuilding a Claude-powered inventory system for the shopWhy presentation wins bids (even when the design is worse)"No ugly signs" and why the industry shoots itself in the footSpeaking the language of 20-something entrepreneurs when you're 52Why your sign shop website matters more than everThe coming workforce cliff and the overseas outsourcing questionRick's pitch for getting young people into the tradeChapters:01:30 Introducing Rick and a 20-year Facebook friendship03:30 From lifeguarding magazine to first sandblasted wood sign07:00 The "sald" disaster and the gospel of proofing10:30 Starting up next to a cocaine distribution ring12:00 Gerber Edge, NYC film & TV, and the start of wholesale14:30 In CAD conversions and Gandy Innovations going bust overnight17:00 Walking out on the EFI contract19:00 Right-sizing on purpose: today's four-person shop22:00 Outsourcing the right way and the referral economy27:30 Wholesale burnout and missing the local work30:30 Almost selling: the headmaster who talked him out of it33:00 Making the work fun again36:00 The food truck cop and Rick's AI conversion moment42:00 AI slop vs. good prompting44:00 How AI is pre-selling $15K signs47:00 When AI becomes a problem: the 5-vehicle wrap committee51:00 What AI can't do: shop drawings, codes, wind load58:00 The lawn care guy to $3,500 wrap pipeline1:06:00 Claude-built inventory and shop operations1:11:00 Why presentation wins bids1:18:00 "No ugly signs" and the industry's self-inflicted wounds1:21:00 Using AI to connect with younger entrepreneurs1:25:00 Why your website matters more than ever1:33:00 The coming workforce cliff1:39:00 China factories and overseas outsourcing1:43:00 Rick's pitch for getting young people into signsResources & links:Typestries: https://typestries.comSign A Day (Rick's photo blog): https://signaday.comGCI Digital (TJ's wholesale shop): https://gcidigital.comShopVox: https://shopvox.comFireSprint: https://firesprint.comSigns 365: https://signs365.comChatGPT: https://chatgpt.comClaude: https://claude.ai

Sometimes the best way to understand one's culture is to compare it with something entirely different.  In this episode Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis take a deep dive into China with Chinese dissident Lu of the YouTube channel All Things China with Lu. Lu demystifies what the Communist Chinese Party (CCP) wants, why they fear Taiwan, how they view the ethnic Han population, why they work so hard to cover up the history of the Tiananmen Square massacre when far more people died in the great famine and the cultural revolution, and just who the heck is this "professor" Jiang Xueqin who's been all over social media of late proselytizing the glory of the Chinese authoritarian regime.   About Lu Lu's relatively recent YouTube channel All Things China with Lu has already reached over 15K subscribers by performing what she calls 'cultural forensics.' Born and raised in China, Lu uses her deep roots and research background to read between the lines of global media and propaganda. Whether she's analyzing high-level diplomacy or the subtext of international media narratives, she reveals the layers that most observers miss.

Sharon Nouh built ProSpend, a spend management SaaS platform for mid-market companies, after seeing firsthand how broken expense processes were in corporate travel. Starting with an expense tool, focused on her home market in Australia, she bootstrapped the company and landed a global enterprise as her first customer with a simple but powerful product vision. Over 10 years, she expanded ProSpend into a full spend management system covering expenses, accounts payable, purchase orders, and budgets. The company grew to about 1,000 customers and 50 employees, with annual contracts ranging from roughly $15K to $40K, driven by strong mid-market focus and channel partnerships.   In 2025 Sharon sold ProSpend to ISH (Invincible Software Holdings), a strategic acquirer. She still runs ProSpend but can now accelerate expansion into the UK. After years of staying independent, she chose a acquisition partner over VC funding to maintain control and execute her long-term vision, showing how a sale can be a strategic move—not an endpoint. Key Takeaways Bootstrap Reality — It took five to six years before taking meaningful income, with constant cash flow pressure early on. Product Expansion — Growth came from adding adjacent modules CFOs needed, not chasing unrelated features or markets. Channel Leverage — Partnering with MYOB and resellers now drives about 50% of new customers efficiently. Control Matters — Avoiding VC preserved full control over timing and terms of exit decisions. Quote from Sharon Nouh, CEO and Founder of ProSpend "A couple of years ago, one of the visions that I had for ProSpend was to expand from Australia into the UK. The UK was always going to be the market that we wanted to move into, rather than the US, because it's a very aligned, very similar market.  "And also because one of our competitors, WebExpenses, had been bought and sold about four times, and they were the incumbent in the UK. They were suffering. They hadn't been developing their product. There was a real gap for us to go into the UK and start picking up the mid-market there.  "So the question was, do I get VC funding, even though we've always been bootstrapped. Or do I look for an acquiring partner, somebody from the UK who could take us in there with boots on the ground and market intelligence? And I chose the latter and sold the business that I still run."

Something's not right in the woods, at least if you're a white-tailed deer. In this episode, the guys dig into chronic wasting disease (CWD), a strange illness reshaping deer populations in many areas of the Lower 48 (and Scandinavia!). It's not caused by a virus or a bacteria, but it is related to mad cow disease. They break down what it is, how it spreads, what's happening inside infected animals, and why it's so dang hard to contain. The deer are not alright… and there's a reason.This episode was recorded on April 23, 2026 at Walton Woods Park in Amherst, NY (a suburb of Buffalo). Episode Notes and Links· Are there different CWD strains in a single animal? Chronic wasting disease isn't a single, uniform pathogen. It's more like a shifting swarm. Infected deer can carry multiple prion “strains” at once, meaning different misfolded shapes of the same protein that behave in slightly different ways. They could spread through the body differently, build up in different tissues, and cause disease at different rates. Lab experiments show this most clearly: when CWD prions are passed through model systems, what looks like one strain can split into multiple distinct variants, or reveal that a mixed population was there all along (e.g., Angers et al. 2010 PNAS; Béringue et al. 2012 Journal of Virology; Li et al. 2010 Journal of Virology). In actual deer, the picture is harder to pin down, but studies comparing prions from different tissues and individuals show real strain diversity and suggest that more than one strain can exist within a single animal (e.g., Angers et al. 2009 Journal of Virology; Moore et al. 2016 Emerging Infectious Diseases). The takeaway is that CWD behaves less like a single disease agent and more like a moving target: a cloud of protein shapes, some dominant, some hidden in the background, that can shift over time, giving the disease more chances to adapt, persist, and potentially jump into new hosts.· Does repeated exposure to CWD reduce incubation time in deer? Repeated exposure to CWD prions does likely shortens incubation time, mainly because prion diseases are strongly dose-dependent. Higher cumulative exposure, whether from a single large dose or many smaller ones over time, can both increase the chance of infection and accelerate disease progression. Experimental studies in deer and elk show that animals exposed to higher or repeated doses tend to develop symptoms faster than those exposed once at low levels. In the wild, this likely plays out through repeated contact with contaminated environments like soil, plants, and carcass sites. That said, factors like genetics and prion strain can still influence how quickly the disease develops in any given animal.· Is CWD the only prion disease that affects wildlife? CWD is the only prion disease currently thriving as a self-sustaining epidemic in wild populations. The others mostly sit at the edges and are livestock diseases that occasionally spill into wildlife or appear in captive/wild interface cases. For example, scrapie occasionally “leaks” into the wild (it has been found in bighorn sheep), but it doesn't take over. It flickers at the edges of livestock systems. Nothing like the landscape-level, self-sustaining spread we see with CWD. That's what makes CWD so concerning: it's not just present in wildlife, it seems to be built for it.· Steve talked about the possibility of vampire bats and wild hogs spreading CWD. What's the story? There's currently no evidence that vampire bats are spreading CWD, but the wild hog story has gotten more interesting recently. Blood-feeding bats like the Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) are often mentioned because prions can occur in blood at low levels, but there are no peer-reviewed studies showing bat-mediated transmission, nor any field patterns linking bats to CWD spread. So the bat idea remains speculative. Wild hogs (Sus scrofa), on the other hand, have moved beyond pure theory. A recent peer-reviewed study (e.g., Soto et al. 2025 Emerging Infectious Diseases) detected low levels of CWD prion activity in free-ranging pigs in endemic areas, suggesting they can pick up and carry prions after scavenging infected carcasses. Combine this with earlier work showing prions can survive digestion and still remain infectious (e.g., Nichols et al. 2009 PLoS ONE), it all points to hogs as plausible mechanical vectors: in other words, organisms that can move infectious material without necessarily developing the disease themselves. The takeaway: vampire bats are still a biologically interesting but unsupported idea, while wild hogs are emerging as potential “messy middlemen,” capable of redistributing prions across the landscape, even if they're not a primary engine of CWD transmission, which is still driven by deer-to-deer contact and long-lived environmental contamination.· Why doesn't NYS do more free testing?New York doesn't offer broad, free testing for every deer. Not because it's ignoring CWD, but because it uses a more targeted, strategic approach. There are a few key constraints on broad, free testing:Cost & logistics: Each test isn't just a swab. It involves lab processing (often PCR or amplification assays), trained staff, and sample handling. Scaling that to hundreds of thousands of deer is a major lift.Low prevalence (right now): When disease prevalence is near zero, mass testing tends to return very few positives, so agencies prioritize early detection in hotspots instead.Management strategy: Agencies often invest more in prevention (carcass transport rules, feeding bans, education) than broad surveillance.Hunter participation: “Free for all” testing can overwhelm systems unless tightly managed, and many states have learned that targeted programs get better data per dollar.So NYS is focusing its efforts on where they see it mattering most: high-risk areas, roadkills, sick/dead deer, and zones near known outbreaks—because testing every hunter-harvested deer statewide would be extremely expensive for relatively low yield in a state with no established CWD population.More info on NY's response, as well as what's happening nationally:The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation's page on CWD (including information on how you can help, scroll down to “Members of the Public”)CWD in Captive Deer: DEC's Response in 2024Chronic Wasting Disease Detection and Management: What Has Worked and What Has Not?

In this episode of The Buzz, we unpack the latest manufacturing signals, leadership priorities, and the growing impact of AI—plus a candid look at corporate jargon and why clarity matters more than ever—welcome to The Buzz, powered by DOSS!Hosts Scott Luton and Billy Ray Taylor dive into March manufacturing data showing modest growth and improving job trends, while also highlighting ongoing cost pressures and global disruptions. From there, the conversation shifts to what's really on the minds of business leaders today—uncertainty, decision-making challenges, and the widening gap between strategy and execution. This episode delivers practical, real-world perspectives on how organizations can move forward with confidence.Key Learnings & Takeaways:Manufacturing momentum is steady—but fragile with growth signals tempered by inflation and disruptionToday's labor market = “low hire, low fire” driven by uncertainty and hesitationAI isn't transforming your business—it's exposing it (data gaps, inefficiencies, misalignment)Execution beats strategy—most companies don't fail from bad plans, but poor follow-throughKPIs vs. KPAs—why actions (not just metrics) drive real performanceCorporate jargon can damage performance by masking clarity and weakening decision-makingGreat leadership = clarity, standards, and accountability, not buzzwordsBottom line: In today's complex environment, leaders who prioritize execution, clarity, and honest communication will separate themselves from the pack—and drive real results.Additional Links & Resources:DOSS: https://www.doss.com/National Supply Chain Day: https://bit.ly/NSCD-2026AME Lean Summit: https://bit.ly/AME-Lean-Summit-2026Manufacturing employment bounces back in March, adding 15K jobs: https://bit.ly/Mfg-Data-March-2026Corporate jargon is more than buzzwords.

Prioritizing joy-led content creation, leaning into email, and building a sustainable business as a food creator with Ashlea Carver from All the Healthy Things. ----- Welcome to episode 565 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Ashlea Carver from All the Healthy Things. How to Keep Creating Without Burning Out Ashlea Carver has been creating food content for ten years, and in that time she's built a well-rounded and financially diversified businesses. But longevity in this industry isn't just about strategy — it's about learning how to navigate the harder parts of being a creator online. In this episode, Ashlea and Bjork dig into the mindset shifts that have kept her going — how she handles comparison and how she's made a deliberate choice to lead with joy in her business decisions to avoid burnout. They also get into the practical side of her business — why her blog is still her most valuable platform and biggest revenue driver, why she's prioritizing email, and how she thinks about Instagram in an era where personality-forward content is so important. It's an honest conversation about building a business that lasts — one that doesn't burn you out, doesn't make you dependent on any single platform, and actually feels good to run. Three episode takeaways: Why slowing down is one of the most important things you can do for your business — Ashlea shares why she carves out intentional time a few times a year for an "owner's retreat" — a dedicated window to step back, assess what's working and what isn't, and make decisions from a place of clarity rather than reaction. She and Bjork talk about the difference between being driven by purpose versus being driven by numbers, and why leaning into joy is a legitimate business strategy. Why your blog and email list are still your most valuable assets — Ashlea shares why her blog remains her biggest revenue driver and why owning your platform matters now more than ever. She also explains how she's built an email strategy around three weekly broadcasts, what she's experimenting with on the paid subscriber side, and why email is the best buffer she has against algorithm changes. How Ashlea is thinking about AI, Instagram, and the future of her brand — From her decision to bring more personality into her content as a direct response to the rise of AI, to her thoughtful reluctance to lean too heavily into AI tools in her own workflow, Ashlea shares a refreshingly intentional approach to showing up online. She also breaks down what her monetization mix actually looks like — ad revenue, sponsored content, affiliate — and why she hired an agency to help manage brand partnerships.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed an emergency bill to rename the Cesar Chavez holiday “Farmworkers Day.” Will and David suggest we commemorate instead the East Los Angeles teacher who was the subject of the 1988 movie Stand and Deliver -- and was then driven from teaching by his own union. Representative Eric Swalwell earned a key campaign endorsement from the California Teachers Association -- a kind of Surgeon General's Warning for voters in the state's June primary. In other news: Tech's very bad week in court, and it's time for San Francisco to defund its corrupt “Defund the Police” campaign. Bonus tracks! Red State reporter Jen Van Laar on LAUSD's all-in-the-family negotiations with the state's largest teacher's union, and former Los Angeles Times religion reporter Bill Lobdell on the Catholic Church sex-abuse scandal, televangelists, Cesar Chavez, and California's public schools.
