That kind of transformation didn't come from grinding harder—it came from smarter systems, a unified client experience, and a shift from a founder-led model to a true team-first approach.In this episode, Ben opens up about what it really takes to navigate succession in a family business, scale sustainably, and build something bigger than yourself.3 of the biggest insights from Ben Grosko …1.)

In this episode, the gang kicks off with Canada Day banter, praising poutine and noting its July 1 celebration. The trio plans to rock RecFest UK in Knebworth, with J.T. plotting to heckle the boys. The core discussion dives into Indeed's aggressive moves to dominate hiring, forcing agencies to adopt APIs and share disposition data, reminiscent of old newspaper models, per Jim Durbin's insights. Chad critiques Recruit Holdings' push for a unified “HR matching market,” warning it's a dated cost-per-hire approach doomed to fail, like Monster's struggles. The rise of AI agents, like Jobright's ($3.2M funding) and Wisq's ($15M), sparks debate—Joel sees them revolutionizing job searches, while Chad fears “AI catfishing” inflating candidate profiles. Tech layoffs hit hard, with 22,000 cuts in 2025 (e.g., Bumble, Intel), impacting HR's talent strategies and exacerbating infinite workday risks. J.T. highlights job seekers' demand for reverse recruiting. And Ford's CEO raising wages to retain workers underscores HR's need for competitive pay to curb gig work reliance.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Ever wonder what separates a $1M agency from a $30M agency? It's not just better SEO or more employees. It's how you run the business behind the scenes. We sat down with today's featured guest to dig into what's powered his insane growth from barely crossing seven figures back when we first met… to now staring down $35–$40 million in pure service revenue. He's sharing some great advice on the evolution of his role as CEO, his new-found love for podcasting, and all kinds of golden nuggets for agency currently in the “no man's land”. Chris Dreyer is the CEO of Rankings.io, a law firm marketing services agency that delivers exceptional results for attorneys without compromising on customer service. He'll discuss his agency's substantial growth from under a million to over $30 million in revenue, his reliance on data and key performance indicators (KPIs), the transformative role of AI in various aspects of his operations, the importance of in-person client meetings for building relationships, and much more. If you're still guessing your numbers or putting off tracking your team's time — you'll want to pay attention. In this episode, we'll discuss: The CEO's true job. Hidden agency growing pains. The key to client happiness. In-person hustle and outbound sales.

Why Data Became Like a Religion Back when Chris and I first locked ourselves in a tiny Atlanta room for a workshop, Rankings.io was barely peeking over the $1M mark. He was still deciding who to serve and how. Fast forward about 8-9 years to today, and he says there's no bigger reason for his success than his top-to-bottom data obsession. Most agency owners track just enough to feel busy: a few pipeline numbers, maybe close rates if they're fancy. But Chris tracks everything. He knows the lifetime value of a client paying $5K a month versus $10K a month. He knows exactly how each account manager's retention rate impacts revenue. He even scores sales reps like a fantasy football league. And it's not just vanity metrics. If an account manager is great at keeping clients but terrible at preserving the original retainer size, they fix it. If time tracking shows poor utilization? They fix it. It's relentless. The big unlock for him was getting a real CFO to build this machine — and shifting from QuickBooks to more robust systems like Sage. No more flying blind or hoping for the best. If you don't know your LTV, churn, win rates, and retention by the exact dollar, you're leaving growth up to luck. How AI Became His Secret Weapon (and Why You Should Care) Most agency owners dabble in AI: a blog here, a few prompts there. Chris has gone full cyborg. Every single month, his team uploads their entire reporting package into ChatGPT. They don't just glance at dashboards — they get an AI board of advisors that points out trends, flags issues, and even suggests campaigns based on sales funnel leaks. If they have clients applying but not booking, the AI says: launch a re-engagement sequence. If they're not sure why the expense spike looks off, the AI will cross-check it with your event calendar. Chris used to hate looking at financials — now AI does the heavy lifting. When it comes to AI agents, they're not doing as much and prefer to use AI assistants for content, link building, and optimization. He even has an AI board of advisers with different personalities. This isn't replacing people. It's leveling them up. It's like strapping a rocket to every role — so you can do more without burning out your team. If you're not leaning on AI for context and next steps, you're probably making slower (and worse) decisions than your competitors. The CEO's True Job: Gotta Catch ‘em All Now that he's running an agency pushing $40M in service revenue (not pass-through, real revenue) Chris defines his role as: “Playing people Pokemon. Gotta catch ‘em all. I get the clients, and my president keeps them.” He sets the vision, runs point on marketing and sales, hosts the podcast, and stays the face of Rankings.io. Meanwhile, his right-hand man, Stephen, owns retention and delivery. This split lets Chris hunt big opportunities without getting bogged down in fulfillment fires. It's the perfect example of how an owner's role must evolve. If you're still stuck in the weeds, wearing every hat, and calling that “leadership” — you're capping your agency's growth. The goal isn't to do everything. It's to build a team that does everything better than you ever could alone. And Chris's story is living proof. The Hidden Growing Pains Nobody Warns You About Ever heard of the dreaded “no man's land” for agencies? For Chris, it began after he crossed the $8M to $10M mark and things got painfully awkward fast. In this stage, you're forced to hire the roles that don't directly bring in revenue: HR, finance, middle managers. Suddenly, your once-scrappy margins start leaking everywhere. It feels counterintuitive, all these new salaries, and yet no extra billables. But here's the catch: this is the awkward but necessary step that'll set you up with the infrastructure to move from $10M to $15M, $20M or beyond. This is generally the zone where you feel like an imposter CEO — one foot in the hustle, one foot in the corporate world you swore you'd never build. The truth is, every growing agency owner faces this inflection point. And if you get it right, you build a structure that can handle scale. If you get it wrong, you risk staying stuck at the same revenue ceiling year after year. You Can't Turn It Off — And Maybe That's Okay Most founders agree they find it difficult to turn their business brain off, and honestly, they don't want to. Business is the hobby. While their kids are at soccer practice, their brain is rewriting the service agreement or tweaking a proposal. Sure, there's a cost. Vacations come with podcast episodes in the car. Weekends sometimes mean scanning P&L spreadsheets. But, as Jason and Chris admit: the key to staying sane isn't to “balance it perfectly” — it's to have the right partner who gets the obsession. Because when you're building a business that supports dozens, even hundreds of families, switching it off just isn't realistic. So you find the support system that lets you go all in and come home for dinner. Why Core Values Actually Matter Early on, you might roll your eyes at “company core values.” Chris admits he did and saw it as just a lot of fluff. But once you're managing 50, 100, or more people, vague values don't cut it — you need a shared language to protect the culture. His agency now runs on three non-negotiables: Excellence (do great work, always) Execution (don't just talk, get it done) Grit (stick with hard things for the long haul) While he used to rely on platitudes like “team player” — he sees now that the wrong person will be weeded out fast as long as the core values are clear. He also bails at the mention of “work-life balance” in an interview. Because for this team, the culture is built for people who like working hard. The Surprising Key to Client Happiness Think your killer case studies will keep clients happy forever? Think again. Client happiness is very subjective and your biggest churn risk isn't bad work — it's bad relationships. Sure, you can track Net Promoter Scores all day. But real retention comes from catching early warning signs, which Chris calls “saves”. A client going quiet, missing calls, or hinting they're not vibing with an account manager should be signs to take action, if you start tracking them, as he has. And here's the overlooked move more agencies need to revive: visit your clients in person. Everyone's got Zoom fatigue. Booking a flight and breaking bread goes a long way toward making you not just a vendor, but a trusted partner. How In-Person Hustle and Outbound Hunting Keep You on Top Even with all the fancy dashboards, AI copilots, and mega forecasting tools, Chris and his president still jump on planes to shake hands with clients. They even budget for it. When you're running a high-ticket service where each client can be worth $125,000 or more over their lifetime, dropping a couple grand to show up in person is a no-brainer. It's how you show you care more than the next guy who's sending templated emails and hiding behind Slack. Chris's take is simple: Want to stand out? Do what you say you're going to do. Show up. Make your clients look like heroes. When a big-name CEO flies out to see you — even if you didn't sell them the deal — you remember that. Big relationships should get the handshake treatment. Using AI for Confidence in an Agency Acquisition Chris didn't buy another agency until he was already pushing $30 million, while most owners pull that trigger way earlier to leapfrog plateaus. Why wait? According to Chris, he didn't have the confidence to do it. Until AI changed that. He used ChatGPT to run diligence questions, draft the LOI, check for financial holes, and sanity-check the entire earnout structure. Sure, he has a great CFO — but that AI second brain made the whole thing faster and way less intimidating. Now that he's got the first deal under his belt, he's hungry for more. That's how scale works: get clarity, take the shot, rinse and repeat. Pro tip: If you're scared to buy, partner, or hire, dump your numbers into AI. Ask it what it would worry about if it were buying you. It'll show you every skeleton in the closet — so you can fix them now. Why Outbound Sales is Your Insurance Policy Chris used to be very resistant to doing outbound but now it is saving him from the Google rollercoaster. Inbound is sexy when it works. But we all know it can be feast or famine. Algorithms change. Referrals dry up. And you're stuck hoping this month's pipeline looks like last month's. After getting tired of hoping, Chris built an outbound team that's now about 30 people deep. He's got BDRs making 50 high-quality calls a day, sending out handwritten notes with books, running multi-channel outreach, and gifting prospects to cut through the noise. Each practice area has its own sales enablement rep feeding lists, building sequences, and arming the closers with context. It's consistent and it means Rankings.io can hunt, not just fish. Big lesson: if you don't control at least three lead sources (inbound, outbound, and strategic partners), your agency's growth is on borrowed time. Don't put all your eggs in Google's basket. Outbound is insurance. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

In this inspiring episode, Dominic Rubino talks with Robert Whittaker, owner of Magnolia Fence and Patio and Purple Coaching, about what it really takes to grow a contracting business to $15M and beyond.

In this weeks' Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Mason Cosby.   Serving as the marketing leader at numerous boutique and bootstrapped businesses, Mason saw firsthand the power of trading a shiny ABM program with all the fancy tech tools for a scrappy account-based program that instead sourced over $15M in the past 3 years, driving a 20x ROI. Now, he leads a team of fellow Scrappy ABM experts who specialize in low-budget plays and programs that drive high impact.   In today's episode of Scale Your Sales podcast, we explore what truly drives success in Account-Based Marketing (ABM). Mason Cosby shares why identifying potential points of failure is the smartest way to set your ABM program up for success. We discuss the importance of sales and marketing alignment, examine common sources of tension, and highlight where real breakthroughs happen. Mason also offers practical, proven ABM tactics you can implement immediately—no big budgets or complex tech stacks required.   Welcome to Scale Your Sales Podcast, Mason Cosby.     Timestamps: 00:00 Successful ABM Strategies with Mason Cosby 06:00 Balancing Strategy and Inclusivity 07:04 Optimizing ABM for High-Value Clients 11:11 Refining Dynamic Target Account Lists 14:48 Sales vs Marketing Communication Channels 19:18 Misaligned Incentives Fuel Sales-Marketing Conflict 20:42 Aligning Marketing with Revenue Goals 26:24 Leveraging Email Bounces for Reengagement 28:08 Relationship Mapping Insights     https://www.linkedin.com/in/masoncosby/     Janice B Gordon is the award-winning Customer Growth Expert and Scale Your Sales Framework founder.

Story of the Week (DR):UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty steps down for 'personal reasons' MM DRUnitedHealth Under Investigation: UnitedHealth Group is facing a criminal probe by the U.S. Department of Justice for potential Medicare fraud related to its Medicare Advantage program. The company is also dealing with a civil fraud investigation and has suspended its 2025 financial forecast amid rising medical costs. CEO Andrew Witty resigned unexpectedly this week.Steve will receive a golden hello again consisting of a one-time $60M option award. While the company claims there will be no additional annual equity awards during the first three years of Steve's employment, there are no performance hurdles tied to this award meaning Steve could make a boatload of cash even if the stock market goes up independent of his work as CEO.A Kohl's board member resigned because she was 'continually disappointed' by governance and a lack of transparency MM DRKohl's Director and Compensation Committee Chair Christine Day resigned from the board on May 5, 2025.Kohl's initially claimed: “Ms. Day's decision [to resign] was not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.”Day later sent an email (included in SEC filing) saying:I want to stress my concern that this is an inappropriate way to handle this. All shareholders deserve the same access to the same information. [ . . .] and for us to not respond to ISS is not good governance. In the 8K filing, for my departure, it would not be accurate to say I have no disagreements with the board. Unfortunately I have been continually disappointed with the level of governance process. The 8k needs to reflect this.”In another email she called out Board Chair Michael Bender: “There is no delegation to committees or chairs, Michael “handles” everything, maybe speaks to one person or 2, then “tells” everyone what the decision is. Some people know more than others leading to board members feeling alienated, out of the loop, and worse—developing a culture where real discussions rarely occur.”In a meeting held yesterday (may 14), only 5% of Kohls shareholders said NO to Board Chair Michael Bender while 45% said NO on Pay while average director support was 92% YESJohn Tyson joins Tyson Foods Inc. board, 9 months after criminal charges led him to step down as CFO MM DRDespite being part of the controlling family, The Tyson children will be paid $315,000 annually like all other non-employee directors.FedEx board member David Steiner to lead US Postal ServiceLD since 2009; CEO Waste Management; $15M in sharesGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boulder's landmark lawsuit against Suncor, Exxon can proceed, Colorado Supreme Court rulesMM: NLPC Urges Exxon Mobil Shareholders To Vote Against Election Of CEO Darren Woods For Board On Exxon Mobil's 2025 Proxy Ballot DR MMThey are running a vote no campaign on Darren Woods… for being too woke! After suing his own shareholder who wanted him to be woke!Assholiest of the Week (MM):NasdaqNasdaq Supports Texas Senate Bill 29, Strengthening Corporate Governance and Business Growth in the State DREd Knight of Nasdaq says: “Senate Bill 29 is a milestone for corporate governance in Texas. By embracing smart, innovation-focused regulation like SB 29, Texas is showing the world what it means to lead on economic growth and modern, clear governance principles,” said Ed Knight, Executive Vice Chairman of Nasdaq. “We commend Senator Bryan Hughes, Representative Morgan Meyer, and Governor Greg Abbott for advancing legislation that strengthens Texas' position as a global center for capital formation.”The major features include a Musk “board independence” rule that allows an evidentiary hearing by a court to say a committee overseeing a transaction is “independent”, then they can exclude any lawsuits or challenges to the committee findings/approval - say, on something like a massive pay package - without the ability of a shareholder to get recourseThey also can refuse books and records if they THINK you might sue them, and they only allow derivative lawsuits for groups with 3% or more of the sharesEd Knight biography: A Texas native, Knight received his Bachelor of Arts, with honors, in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Texas School of Law.Stewardship teamsHarley-Davidson Leaders Survive Proxy FightThe company didn't reveal the preliminary vote total during its shareholder meeting. About 48% of shares voted withheld support from Zeitz, while about 40% withheld support from directors Thomas Linebarger and Sara Levinson, two people familiar with the tally said.Harley's bylaws require directors to resign if more than 50% of shares voted withhold support.Seriously investors? Seriously? Levinson has been a director since Clinton's FIRST TERM - AND SHE HAS A CHECKMARK FOR INDEPENDENT. 30 years isn't too much for you investors? 30? For an ex NFL and MTV executive at a company that makes motorcycles? If you're anti-woke, isn't this an easy vote out?? Not even for her woman-ness, but for the fact that she has literally nothing to do with making motorcycles? She started a women-focused dot com media company called “Club Mom”!If Blackrock and Vanguard voted to support Harley directors, they truly do not care - and ISS's fuckwit half-assed non-assessment is what's driving investors to do-nothingness. And I know ISS is listening, we've been told they don't like our criticism - tough shit, your assessments are feckless bullshit nothingburger with no real backing, and pension funds are starting to notice you give them a whole lot of puffery for 200k a yearIn other news… BlackRock wins 67% support for pay as CEO Fink assures on global economyEach of its 18 director nominees were easily elected with average support over 98%.Press ReleasesLumen Technologies Appoints Michelle J.

Disrupting Status Quo for Business Growth Michael and Lisa discussed the importance of disrupting the status quo for business growth. Lisa emphasized the need for leaders to challenge their current processes and embrace innovation to overcome plateaus and achieve growth. They agreed that the combination of people, process, and technology is crucial for business success. Technology Should Enhance Human Capabilities Michael and Lisa discussed the importance of understanding employees and processes before implementing technology. They emphasized that technology should be used to enhance human capabilities, not replace them. Lisa introduced the concept of "super fast, bad" to describe the potential negative outcomes of technology implementation without proper understanding. Michael highlighted the need for organizations to adapt to the changing workforce and acknowledged the challenges faced by leaders in creating a culture that works for everyone. They also touched on the issue of disengaged employees and the need for organizations to adapt to the changing workforce. Innovation Process for Business Growth Lisa emphasized the importance of innovation in businesses to adapt to the rapidly changing world. She proposed building an innovation process to leverage employees, customers, and clients' ideas, and to create a constant flow of new ideas to drive growth. Michael agreed, highlighting the need for internal marketing and creating a safe environment for employees to share ideas. He used the example of 3M and the Post-it notes to illustrate how an idea can lead to significant innovation and success. Fostering Creativity and Self-Reliant Leaders Lisa and Michael discussed the importance of creating an environment where people can be creative and innovative, rather than being constrained by job descriptions and measurements. They emphasized the need for leaders to step back and let their team members do their jobs, as this fosters growth and development. They also highlighted the significance of succession planning and decentralizing decision-making to grow self-reliant leaders. The conversation concluded with the importance of hiring people who are better than oneself, as this benefits both the individual and the organization. Lisa Offers Self-Reliant Leadership Program Lisa offered her self-reliant leadership program to Michael's audience, including an innovation engine blueprint and an innovation clarity call. She encouraged leaders to reach out to her via LinkedIn for more information. Michael appreciated the offer and encouraged his audience to take advantage of it, emphasizing the importance of continuous growth and improvement. ------

Steven Pesavento is a real estate entrepreneur and managing partner of VonFinch Capital. Since 2016, he has completed over 220 real estate transactions, renovated nearly 100 properties, and personally transacted over $200 million in real estate. With a background in consulting and startups, Steven transitioned into multifamily investing to build long-term wealth, scale strategically, and help investors achieve financial freedom through high-performance investments.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Steven flipped over 200 houses before pivoting to multifamily for greater scalability and repeatability. The VonFinch model focuses on building trust at scale, creating long-term investor relationships across asset classes. Talent retention is core to their strategy, offering team members aligned incentives and upside in each project. The best multifamily buying opportunities are in the middle market ($5–$25M) where institutional competition is minimal. Successful investing starts with mindset—embracing both wins and losses as part of a long-term game.     Topics From Flipping to Multifamily Built a high-volume flipping business but struggled with lack of repeat clients and team turnover. Realized multifamily investing offered better scale, cash flow, and lasting investor relationships. Transitioned to commercial deals where trust and strategic partnerships drive long-term success. Building a Wealth Machine Through Relationships VonFinch Capital focuses on relationship-based investing with aligned goals across team, operators, and investors. Employees are offered base salaries with profit-sharing incentives to encourage ownership and retention. Long-term success is about creating win-win environments that scale with aligned interests. Navigating the Current Multifamily Market Market dislocation has created buying opportunities 30–40% below peak prices in the non-institutional middle market. VonFinch targets $5–$15M deals overlooked by large institutions but too big for most small investors. Patience and persistence matter—some of their best deals took 6–12 months to close or required years of relationship-building. Why Now Is Still the Time to Buy Even with personal portfolio challenges, Steven remains bullish on buying during market dips. Dollar-cost averaging into real estate is critical—especially for those who bought at the top in 2021–22. The greatest returns are made in volatile periods when others are fearful. Investor Mindset and Long-Term Thinking Investing is a game—understand the rules, play strategically, and adapt to change. Fear of loss often outweighs potential gains, but playing scared leads to missed opportunities. Steven encourages investors to view losses as feedback and avoid overexposure in any one deal or asset.

Terry Rich went from farm kid to national TV, led a zoo from near-bankruptcy to success, then uncovered the biggest lottery fraud in U.S. history. But it wasn't luck or gimmicks that made him a turnaround expert—it was a relentless mix of creativity, calculated risk, and an unshakable ethical compass. When handed a $600K deficit at a failing zoo, he didn't raise millions—he sold poop. Literally. Then raised $15M. At the state lottery, he scaled profits from $58M to $100M—and when a $16M fraud threatened everything, he said no to pressure, exposed the scam, and protected public trust. Now, he teaches leaders how to spot fraud before it happens, engage teams with “no judgment” idea culture, and turn failure into their biggest asset. This episode is packed with real-world lessons from one of America's boldest business troubleshooters. Terry shares: Why failure is the first step to success (and his Tonight Show story proves it) The wild story behind selling lion poop—and how it saved the zoo Why internal fraud really happens—and the 3 signs to watch for The C.O.T. method he created to drive innovation in risk-averse teams How to create a speak-up culture that protects your business What it really takes to lead multi-million-dollar turnarounds Why he believes success is like cocaine—and how that fuels entrepreneurs Key Lessons Failure Fuels Innovation: Terry's greatest business ideas came from flops, not wins—and he teaches you how to leverage yours. Zoo Brew & Poop Sales: Sometimes the craziest ideas (like alcohol at a zoo or selling manure) are what save a business. Fraud Detection Culture: Spotting fraud isn't about luck—it's about culture. Terry shows how he trained teams to speak up early. The $16M Ethical Stand: Under immense pressure, Terry chose integrity—and the result built public trust (and boosted lottery sales). Entrepreneurial Grit: From MTV to municipal zoos to state lotteries, Terry's story proves resilience beats resources every time. Host: Tyler Martin, Think Business Podcast Struggling to scale and grow? Let's talk:

https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE PODCAST! This podcast discusses the intensity of astrological events leading up to the third Mars/Pluto opposition April 26 & the Taurus New Moon April 27!We begin by looking back, as that's how we learn best how certain astrological aspects in the sky have manifested within the collective. It's then we can filter this macrocosm of information down into the microcosm of meaning in our own personal lives. So, last week the Sun entered earthy, dependable, stubborn & change resistant Taurus, followed by an empathic Mars/Neptune trine on April 19. This shift became part of American support for the Supreme Court's early morning April 19 ruling that the U.S. must return mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the hellhole prison in El Salvador. It also awakened in us the knowledge that the government's denial of the constitutional right to due process by paying the El Salvadoran dictator $15M to house such prisoners is coming out of taxpayer money.By April 20's third quarter crisis in consciousness monthly lunar waning fixed square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun—which included the Moon's opposition to Mars & conjunction to Pluto, along with the Sun's square to Mars—we knew this was a set up for something potentially alarming to happen.And so it did, as hours later as the Moon perfected its conjunction to Pluto, the lord of the underworld, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 during the early hours of April 21. This event, occurring two days before the Taurus Sun's exact square to Pluto, & five days before the third Mars/Pluto opposition on April 26, echoed those of the recent past.This podcast discusses the details of the intense events which took place around the first Mars/Pluto opposition on November 3, 2024, the second on January 3, 2025. And what's been leading up now to this third Mars/Pluto opposition as part of this series of intense, potentially violent aspects in the sky. Meanwhile, as it wanes, we discuss the lasting effects of the Aries New Moon solar eclipse monthly lunar cycle, begun on March 29, at the same time as the heliacal rising of Venus during its retrograde cycle. And how these astro-events portended the fallibility of political leaders—with a specific look the dropping poll numbers of American President Donald Trump, & the misfortunes of unelected billionaire Elon Musk since he strayed from steering the helm of his Tesla company's ship to feed a multitude of life-saving U.S. Governmentally-funded programs "into the woodchipper."We look as well at the recent Venus/Saturn & Saturn/North Node conjunctions in the sky & whether or not we collectively take up the mission of reviewing our true values & making a future commitment to them. For example, do we value the rule of law in a democracy—or not? Do we value foundational facts & commitment in our relationships—or not?These kind of intense questions continue through the exact Mars/Pluto conjunction on April 26, and the Taurus New Moon which forms a frictionally tense T-square to the Mars/Pluto opposition April 27. This sets the tone for the month ahead as we attempt to figure out where we've been disempowered and where we may need to fight for future empowerment.We look at all of this through the lens of the U.S. Sibly birth chart from July 4, 1776--especially since April 19 was the 250th anniversary of the first shots fired in Concord & Lexington, MA, that began the U.S. Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.  And America's current Pluto return as a time when freedom from tyranny & the message of "no kings" rings out from a growing chorus of average American citizens across the land.By the time Venus moves back into Aries on April 30, Mars becomes her dispositor. That means Venus is once again the warrior &, as the ruler of the Sun in Taurus, we're all more inclined to defend & protect not only our own rights, but to fight for the rights of those who are less able to defend & protect themselves.  By the time Venus conjoins Neptune in Aries May 2, we may well see a greater empathic response from the collective related to a myriad number of issues, the importance of which the collective will have awakened to by then. That's as long as we allow the Taurus Sun to ground us & we don't go off into flights of fantasy about what's really happening around us.Be sure to tune in for all this & more starting Friday, April 25 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking Especially as we head toward next week's Pluto's station retrograde  & Uranus's conjunction to "off with his head!" fixed star Algol May 4/5, as these astro events are sure to be impactful since all planets are in direct motion until then—See you then!

About Tim WoodbridgeI'm just a regular guy who started with a nursing degree and worked as a nurse for 9 years. Everything changed after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. My superpower? Taking action. I heard about mobile home parks (MHPs) and within a year, despite not having much money, I bought my first one. Now, I own 12 parks and retired from nursing 3 years ago.Over the last 3 years, I've built a $15M mobile home park portfolio with a fantastic team. We're actively closing deals and scaling to $105M by 2027. Our focus is on delivering solid returns for investors, offering a minimum 2x equity multiple in 5 years, and nearly 1:1 tax savings in year one through cost segregation studies.Outside of MHPs, I love traveling and exploring new places—I even flew to Barcelona for a music festival.

Philippe is the Founder of CrowdSec, an open-source multiplayer firewall that analyzes visitor behavior and provides an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It leverages crowdsourced power to generate a global IP reputation database that protects the user network. As of today, CrowdSec boasts 250k+ user installations from 185+ countries and 50M+ malevolent IPs blocked. The CrowdSec community's users include governments, major e-commerce actors, media and financial institutions, armed forces, universities, hospitals, research centers, and others—the company raised $15M+ in series A funding just last year! The company's ingenious software is built on the idea of “safer together.” Not only does CrowdSec block individual user attacks, but it also identifies each malevolent IP address during an attack. It uses this information to protect everyone in the CrowdSec community from future attacks. Philippe received an MBA in Computer Sciences from EPITA. He has created five start-up companies and is a seed investor in ten others. He is on the front line of major innovations in tech use and security, and he loves to share his wealth of knowledge in podcasts and public speaking events. Philippe loves to discuss: The most significant issue facing cybersecurity is how open-source cybersecurity platforms combat them. Why multiplayer firewalls can help limit zero-day attacks and minimize cyberwar from attempting to “divide and conquer” businesses. Why does Philippe believe malevolent IP attacks are growing in size, and how can everyday users equip themselves to protect their data? https://crowdsec.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippehumeau/?originalSubdomain=fr&original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have encountered one of the strangest things they've ever seen from a murder suspect who hasn't even been arraigned yet … a campaign website!  Last week a listener sent in a tip about former South Carolina resident Lee Gilley, who is facing a Capital Murder charge in Houston, Texas, in the October 2024 death of his wife, Christa Bauer and their unborn child. A website had been published about Lee and his life as an apparently flawless human being incapable of murder. It's yet another brazen move from an entitled good ole boy who thinks the normal procedures of the justice system don't apply to him.  Also on the show, a follow-up on the YouTube creator who is being sued by JP Miller. Plus, updates on Bowen Turner's alleged parole violations and Buster Murdaugh's defamation case. Plus, we'll update you on the latest in the Peter J. Strauss case who's sentencing is set for 2pm on February 20th in Charleston.  Let's dive in...
