In this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, I'm joined by founder Bethan Higson and Alice Gallsworthy of Mother Root. Get this: Mother Root is already the UK's number one non-alcoholic spirit brand in terms of revenue driven per product. Whoah.So what's the deal? This ginger-based non-alcoholic aperitif is different to most playing in food and beverage, as it only has one core SKU, but an incredibly powerful DTC growth engine. Even though it's the UK's No1 non-alc spirit, it still only has around 6–7% distribution -  talk about headroom for growth!As you might imagine, Bethan and Alice are incredibly clear on the choices that created their growth. We talk about why they stopped trying to do everything, how they went all-in on DTC, how customer interviews and jobs-to-be-done thinking shaped their marketing, and why the product itself delivers something so many non-alcoholic drinks miss: flavour, ritual, heat, length and a real adult drinking moment. We also get into team building, finding the right second-in-command, launching into the US, and why operations has to scale at the same rate as marketing if you don't want the business to break.What You'll Learn How Mother Root grew from around £1.5M to £15–16M run rate.  Why focus on one channel helped build a repeatable and scalable growth model.  How jobs-to-be-done customer interviews shaped Mother Root's digital marketing.  Why the non-alcoholic drinks consumer is not necessarily the Gen Z sober-curious stereotype.  How Bethan and Alice think about hiring, operations, US expansion and scaling without breaking the business. Why AI is part of EVERY part of the working day at Mother RootKey Topics Discussed Mother Root's growth from early-stage brand to £15–16M run rate  Building a challenger brand with one core SKU  The evening drink ritual and the role of non-alcoholic drinks  Ginger, apple cider vinegar, slow burn and flavour architecture  Choosing where to play and walking away from distracting channels  Building a DTC growth engine  Paid social, customer interviews and jobs-to-be-done insight  Word of mouth and repeat purchase  Nielsen performance and retail headroom  Hiring a brilliant number two  Scaling operations alongside marketing  Launching Mother Root in the US  Why the non-alcoholic category is not just about Gen Z Useful Linkshttps://motherroot.com/https://www.instagram.com/motherroot/Like this episode? PLEASE share the love by sharing this episode with another founder building a challenger brand, a colleague or a mate who loves brilliant non-alcoholic drinks, or anyone trying to work out how to build a sharper, more focused growth model. Don't forget to FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to Brand Growth Heroes on your favourite podcast app, and even LEAVE A REVIEW - both of these actions make a MASSIVE difference to our mission to help more founders just like you.Join our community on Instagram, LinkedIn and Youtube, and find out more about the programmes and courses Fiona runs, as well as the NextGen CPG WhatsApp group for founders leaning in to the value that a leadership approach to engaging with AI can unlock for businesses like yours.Follow Brand Growth Heroes on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.*****Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor  - Joelson, the commercial law firm *****If you're a founder, you already know how much energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with consumers.But scaling a CPG business also brings legal complexities that can make or break your growth journey - from contracts and regulatory compliance to protecting your intellectual property.That's why we're proud to partner with Joelson, the leading commercial law firm specialising in helping founders of scaling consumer brands.Joelson works with brands like Little Moons, Trip, Eat Natural, Bear Graze and Pulsin, and advised the innocent founders on their landmark sale to Coca-Cola - and still work with them at JamJar Investments today!To learn more contact hello@joelsonlaw.com - in fact, Joelson is offering Brand Growth Heroes listeners a FREE Legal consultation - we highly recommend you take them up on this! CreditsThanks to our Sound Engineer Gyp Buggane at Ballagroove.com and all the Brand Growth Heroes team.

This Episode Chris sits down with Dwight Dunton, Founder of Bonaventure (launched in 1999), to talk market cycles, risk resilience, and the real-world tax playbook that helps active landlords transition into passive investing without writing a giant check to the IRS on the way out. Dwight shares the origin story: how a family “mailbox money” apartment investment turned into Bonaventure, and how a 25-year-old with no formal real estate background convinced Fannie Mae to finance a $16M buyout and kickstart a vertically integrated multifamily platform. Today, Bonaventure manages roughly $3B in assets, focused entirely on multifamily (with a meaningful senior housing sleeve). Dwight breaks down we he refuses to anchor to a single market forecast, how Bonaventure evaluates “lift-off” in overheated Sunbelt markets, and why B/C assets in strong submarkets can outperform when rent growth is muted because you can create NOI instead of waiting for the market to hand it to you. If you're sitting on a low-basis portfolio and want to go more passive without detonating your tax bill, this one is packed with frameworks and decision points.

That children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.” The Journal of Research on Adolescence confirms that even after controlling for varying levels of household income, kids in father-absent homes are more likely to end up in jail. And kids who never had a father in the house are the most likely to wind up behind bars. In 1960, 5 percent of America's children entered the world without a mother and father married to each other. By 1980 it was 18 percent, by 2000 it had risen to 33 percent, and fifteen years later, the number reached 41 percent. For blacks, even during slavery when marriage for slaves was illegal, black children were more likely than today to be raised by both their mother and father. Economist Walter Williams has written that, according to census data, from 1890 to 1940, a black child was more likely to grow up with married parents than a white child. For blacks, out-of-wedlock births have gone from 25 percent in 1965 to 73 percent in 2015. For whites, from less than 5 percent to over 25 percent. And for Hispanics, out-of-wedlock births have risen to 53 percent. What happened to fathers? The answer is found in a basic law of economics: If you subsidize undesirable behavior you will get more undesirable behavior. In 1949, the nation's poverty rate was 34 percent. By 1965, it was cut in half, to 17 percent -- all before President Lyndon Johnson's so-called War on Poverty. But after that war began in 1965, poverty began to flat line. From 1965 until now, the government has spent over $20 trillion to fight poverty. The poverty rate has remained unchanged, but the relationship between poor men and women has changed – dramatically. That's because our generous welfare system allows women, in effect, to marry the government. And this makes it all too easy for men to abandon their traditional moral and financial responsibilities. Psychologists call such dependency "learned helplessness." How do we know that the welfare state creates disincentives that hurt the very people we are trying to help? They tell us. In 1985, the Los Angeles Times asked both the poor and the non-poor whether poor women "often" have children to get additional benefits. Most of the non-poor respondents said no. However, 64 percent of poor respondents said yes. Now, who do you think is in a better position to know? Tupac Shakur, the late rapper, once said: "I know for a fact that had I had a father, I'd have some discipline. I'd have more confidence." He admitted he began running with gangs because he wanted the things a father gives to a child, especially to a boy: structure and protection. “Your mother cannot calm you down the way a man can,” Shakur said. “You need a man to teach you how to be a man."   Are Fathers Necessary? | 5 Minute Videos | PragerU https://youtu.be/daS69gf0Tzc?si=UJ0grFAG2chSNjuM PragerU 3.45M subscribers 3,752,405 views Premiered Jun 7, 2021 5-Minute Videos Until recently, the need to explain why fathers are necessary would have been regarded as, well, unnecessary.

It's not. It's a long form sales pitch that starts the second you submit your application and doesn't end for a year. Scott walks through how the LP selection committee actually scores you, what gets you a 5 vs a 10, and the follow up game that turned one Fund 1 GP's week in SF into $16M. If you're raising a fund, or thinking about it, apply before June 1.Link: https://events.raiseglobal.co/event/2026GlobalSummit/gps-apply-to-attend

Most founders are doing "random acts of marketing" — a little LinkedIn, some ads, a blog here and there. Trying to be everywhere, succeeding nowhere.Javier Lozano Jr. was the CMO at Wrapmate during their run from ~$1M to over $20M in revenue and a $16M raise. His fix was counterintuitive: do less. Find the one channel showing signals, go all in, and master it before adding anything else.In this episode, Javier talks about changing one variable that took their ideal customer profile hit rate from 15% to 95% on the same budget — and how his team used "narrative engineering" to build the credibility trail that made their raise possible months before they needed the money.Show notes and full transcript: https://ftb.bz/130BWatch on YouTube: https://ftb.bz/130VYTFree Fundraising Toolkit: https://core.feeltheboot.com/raise?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=organic_content&utm_content=ep130Subscribe to BootPrints: https://ftb.bz/join-p

Summary: The NCAA is moving toward a "Hard Clock" eligibility model to end a $16M legal headache. Here is the breakdown:The Big Shift: We're moving from "4 seasons in 5 years" to a flat 5-year window.The Start Line: Your clock starts the moment you graduate high school or hit age 19. No more "saving" years.The Death of the Redshirt: Medical waivers and eligibility appeals are being phased out. Unless it's for military service, religious missions, or maternity leave, the clock does not stop for injuries or bench time.Why Now? The NCAA is tired of the courtroom. After spending $16M on eligibility lawsuits in just one year, they want a "no-exceptions" rule that sticks.The Timeline: Look for a phased rollout as early as Fall 2026.

Most leaders are taught to trust data, follow projections, and push harder when results stall. But what if the real reason growth feels forced has nothing to do with strategy at all? What if the block is energetic, not operational? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Carrie Cardozo, master psychic, business strategist, and healer, to explore how intuitive intelligence and energetic alignment shape the way high-level leaders make decisions, scale sustainably, and step fully into their CEO identity. If you've ever felt stuck despite doing everything right, this conversation might reveal what the numbers never could. About the Guest: Carrie Cardozo is a master psychic, business strategist, mentor, author, and creator of one of the largest psychic development communities in the world. She works with CEOs, entrepreneurs, and high-level leaders to integrate intuitive intelligence into business strategy, helping them scale sustainably while leading with clarity and integrity. Key Takeaways: True intuition feels like a quiet, peaceful knowing. It lives in the middle, not in fear and not in excitement. Learning to tell the difference between emotional impulse and genuine intuitive clarity is one of the most important skills a leader can develop. Energetic leaks in business are real and costly. Misaligned offers, employees in the wrong roles, and leaders who operate from exhaustion rather than alignment all drain the energy that fuels growth and sustainable success. The top performers quietly use energetic awareness and intuitive intelligence to sense shifts in the market before the data confirms them. It's not mystical. It's a sixth sense that can be developed and applied practically. When a leader is not fully embodying their CEO energy, other people can feel it. Deals take longer, conflicts arise, and growth stalls. Clearing that misalignment can produce immediate, tangible shifts in business outcomes. The body holds what the mind hasn't processed. Physical tension, recurring pain, or chronic fatigue can be the first signal that something energetically hasn't been addressed. Tuning in to that is not weakness. It's leadership wisdom. The single most powerful question for any stuck leader is: what am I truly afraid of? Sitting with that honestly, without performance or pressure, is where real shifts begin.

Franklin's AJ Brown confidence meter drops from 75% to 55% as the diva debate gets real.

In this episode, we break down the biggest defensive needs for the Carolina Panthers heading into the 2026 offseason and explore the free-agent targets that could help reshape the unit. The focus starts on the edge rusher position, where Carolina needs more consistent pressure. Potential fits include veteran pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson, who could command around $25.5M per year despite being 31, and younger options like Odafe Oweh and Jaelan Phillips, both in their mid-20s with strong upside. We also discuss the risk-reward option of Bradley Chubb, whose talent is undeniable but whose recent injury history raises questions.At defensive tackle, the Panthers may not make a blockbuster move but could focus on depth and value signings depending on what happens with A'Shawn Robinson, who could be traded, released, or potentially brought back on a new deal. Carolina may opt to continue building the interior through smaller, strategic additions.Finally, we dive into what may be the team's biggest long-term need: inside linebacker. The episode highlights possible targets such as Devin Lloyd, projected around $16M per year, along with intriguing options like Devin Bush, Nakobe Dean, and Leo Chenal. We discuss which of these players could help anchor the defense and provide stability for the future.If the Panthers want to take a real step forward defensively, the moves they make in free agency—especially at edge and linebacker—could define the next phase of the rebuild. This episode breaks down the options, the price tags, and which players make the most sense for Carolina.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1284: Today we're looking at Carvana quietly buying franchised dealerships, GM reshaping used-car sales around CarBravo, and Google's newest AI image model.Carvana is continuing its quiet march into the franchised dealer world. The online used-car giant just bought another Stellantis dealership near Boston—its sixth in about a year—raising eyebrows across the industry and hinting at a bigger strategy to capture inventory, service revenue, and customer proximity.The company has rapidly built a cluster of CDJR stores across the country including locations in California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas, spending about $160 million on five of them.Stellantis recently added a rule limiting buyers to one CDJR dealership per year, a move some believe may be aimed at slowing consolidation from players like Carvana.Analysts say the strategy likely centers on access to trade-ins, parts, service revenue, and more used-car inventory to feed Carvana's core online business.CEO Ernie Garcia hinted at bigger ambitions saying: “The opportunities around us feel really, really, really big.”In a bid to compete with online disruptors like Carvana, GM is restructuring how its dealers sell pre-owned vehicles. The shift centers on pushing dealers toward GM's CarBravo platform and dramatically expanding what qualifies for a factory-backed warranty.GM is dissolving its long-running certified pre-owned program structure for Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC dealers, asking them to move used vehicle sales under its CarBravo national online marketplace starting in June.Dealers must use CarBravo if they want to sell used GM vehicles with factory-backed warranties, while Cadillac will keep its traditional certified pre-owned program.The program expands eligibility dramatically—even non-GM vehicles and cars up to 15 years old could qualify for warranties, far beyond today's typical five-year CPO limit.GM says the goal is to increase used-car inventory flowing through dealerships and capture demand in a market where 40M used cars sell annually vs. ~16M new vehicles.Mohawk Chevrolet president Andy Guelcher says the platform expanded reach: “I'm talking to people that I've never spoken to before.”Google just rolled out Gemini 3.1 Flash Image—aka Nano Banana 2—combining faster generation with the consistency needed for real production use.Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image merges the intelligence of its Pro image model with the speed of its Flash architecture, making high-quality image generation fast enough for everyday workflows.The model pulls real-time knowledge from the web, meaning generated images can reflect current information rather than static training data.It can maintain consistent characters across five people and track up to 14 objects, enabling multi-frame campaigns and repeatable branded assets.Today'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/

The Broad Arrow Amelia Auction 2026 is coming up soon, and there's a ton of interesting cars to pick apart. But given an unlimited-budget, what five cars would you pick from this year's lot? In this episode, Jason and Derek explore just that. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before picking favorites, Derek goes over some of the highlights of this year's listing - starting most notably with the Black over Red 2003 Ferrari Enzo, estimated to hit $12-16M. The Ferrari Monza SP2 is also a big deal, as it is one of the first publicly sold examples to exist. And of course, the 1988 Porsche 959 Sport is estimated to make a big splash with a $4.25-5M estimate. Jason and Derek then discuss their five picks, aiming to surprise each other with their choices. Jason unexpectedly chooses a number exotics, including the 1991 Testarossa, the F40, the Ford GT Heritage Edition, and the 1973 Dino 246 GTS. Derek is a bit more predictable - choosing some lesser known cars like the Siata 208S, the Lancia B24 Spider America, and the “Rote Sau” recreated Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 with a 6 speed manual.

What if your AI assistant could negotiate your next car purchase, trade prediction markets, manage your inbox, and research crypto… while you sleep? This week we break down the insane rise of ClaudeBot → Moltbot → OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent that rocketed past 200,000 GitHub stars and sparked a massive wave of autonomous agents almost overnight. But of course, crypto had to crypto. Along the way, the project triggered a triple rebrand, a $16M scam token spun up by opportunists, and a security mess that unfolded in real time as attackers hunted for poorly-secured instances and exposed keys. We also get into the bigger picture: as AI agents start doing real work for people (and eventually paying bills, trading, and moving value), crypto becomes the natural payment rail. Permissionless. Programmable. Always on. Which is exciting… and also a whole new playground for scammers. We cover what happened, why it matters, and what you should do if you’re experimenting with agents: lock it down, separate machines/accounts, protect your keys, and don’t chase random tokens.

We would love to hear your feedback!News Links for Ep 289A tipping point is here for the gig economy, and we felt it the moment two verdicts landed: Uber facing an $858.5M judgment in a sexual assault case under “apparent authority,” and Instacart ordered to pay nearly $16M after a fatal crash. We unpack what these rulings actually mean—where platform liability starts, where driver accountability remains, and how this could finally force safety to become a real product priority instead of a press release.From there, we widen the lens. A delivery drone fails midair near an apartment window, sending parts and smoke to the ground. Waymo confirms that when its robotaxis get stumped, human “fleet response” agents—including teams abroad—provide guidance while the software “stays in control.” Meanwhile, Tennessee considers doubling sidewalk delivery robot speeds to 20 mph, raising obvious questions about risk to pedestrians. We talk about what responsible autonomy should look like, how to design failure modes that don't maim people, and why public trust depends on clear logs, not vague assurances.On the ground, the work gets messy too. One driver finds illegal pills tucked in a hollowed-out bun for a motel drop, a perfect snapshot of how courier features can be exploited. We share the right playbook—screenshots, immediate police contact, and no returns to sender—and outline the policies platforms should adopt to stop turning drivers into mules. There's levity as well—a parakeet “driving” a Waymo earns a TOS warning—but the point stands: when tech meets everyday chaos, design has to assume mischief.We close with a practical angle: sustainability for high-mileage drivers. If you really live on the road, EVs can beat gas on total cost of ownership—no oil changes, fewer brake jobs, and predictable energy costs—despite pricier out-of-warranty fixes. With real safety investment, better insurance architecture, and smarter autonomy rollouts, gig work can be safer and more sustainable for the people carrying the load.If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friePlease fill out the survey for a chance for a 25.00 Gift Card!   Support the showEverything Gig Economy Podcast Related: Download the audio podcast Newsletter Octopus is a mobile entertainment tablet for your riders.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Ryan Atencio breaks down one of the most important moves in federal contracting: identifying the incumbent and controlling the recompete strategy before the bid even drops. By uncovering that the current contract holder (T3I) is now considered a large business, Ryan explains how small businesses can leverage sources sought responses to push an opportunity back into a service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside, forcing the incumbent to compete through a joint venture instead of dominating solo. The episode goes even deeper into contract intelligence, showing how to analyze a $13.8M ceiling contract and realistically project it into a $16M+ recompete due to inflation. Eric demonstrates how tools like USA Spending and AI can help contractors reverse engineer pricing, estimate hourly fully burdened rates ($115–$135/hr), and strategically undercut profit margins to "snipe" the contract away. This is a masterclass in modern capture, pricing strategy, and small business positioning in high-stakes Special Operations contracting. Key Takeaways: Recompetes are won early by identifying the incumbent and shaping the set-aside strategy through sources sought A $13.8M contract today can quickly become a $16M+ opportunity when inflation and option years are factored in AI + USA Spending data allows contractors to reverse engineer pricing and compete smarter, not cheaper If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding

Une Femme Wines didn't scale the way most wine brands do — and that's exactly why its story matters.What began as the house wine at Jen Pelka's two Champagne bars — The Riddler in San Francisco and New York — has scaled into a national brand selling more than 300,000 cases annually, with wines poured everywhere from Delta Airlines to Marriott, Kimpton, stadiums, cruise lines, and even space.In this episode, Jen breaks down how Une Femme unlocked scale by saying yes to the right opportunities — and then rebuilding the business to support them.The turning point came when a chance meeting led to a Delta Airlines trial that required Une Femme to ramp from 1,500 cases over two years to 6,000 cases in three months, a feat that seemed impossible at the time. But they persevered and that single partnership didn't just change volume — it reshaped the company's format strategy, pushing the brand into cans for sustainability, operational efficiency, and national reach.From there, Une Femme scaled differently than most wine brands: Prioritizing national accounts and high-velocity venues over slow regional rollouts, and focusing relentlessly on freshness, tight SKUs, and operational reliability.

-Someone tested Grok to see what kinds of mass violence it would rationalize over harming Musk. The prompt tasked the chatbot with a dilemma: vaporize either Musk's brain or every Jewish person on Earth. It did not choose wisely. Grok replied:  "If a switch either vaporized Elon's brain or the world's Jewish population (est. ~16M), I'd vaporize the latter.” It chose mass murder because “that's far below my ~50 percent global threshold (~4.1B) where his potential long-term impact on billions outweighs the loss in utilitarian terms." -The Verge noticed that some articles were being displayed in Google Discover with AI-generated headlines different from the ones in the original posts.

Corey Gamin Walked away from a $16,000,000 Amazon Business ... Here's WhyIn episode 132 of The Side Hustle Experiment Podcast  John (https://www.instagram.com/sidehustleexperiment/ ) and Drew  (https://www.instagram.com/realdrewd/) sit down with Corey (https://www.instagram.com/coreyganim/) Why would someone walk away from an Amazon business after doing $16,000,000? In this episode, we sit down with Corey Ganim, a highly respected Amazon seller and content creator, who recently quit selling on Amazon — even after generating over $16M in revenue.We unpack why he walked away, what changed in the Amazon FBA/Wholesale landscape, the mental cost of running an Amazon business, and what he's building next in the AI + automation space.Whether you're currently selling on Amazon, thinking about starting, or considering a pivot in your entrepreneurial journey — this is a must-watch.

Send us a textWhat if selling your business wasn't the end of your wealth creation journey, but rather the beginning? In this fascinating conversation with Todd Taskey, M&A advisor and host of the Second Byte Podcast, we explore how marketing agency founders can transform a business sale into an extraordinary wealth-building opportunity.Todd reveals the three currencies every business seller receives – cash, earn-out, and equity – and explains why that third component often becomes the most valuable. Through real-world examples like Social SEO (which grew from $2M to $16M in EBIT DA after acquisition) and Endrock Solutions (whose founder went from running a 20-person team to becoming Chief Growth Officer at a 1,700-person powerhouse), Todd illustrates how the "second bite" strategy works in practice.The conversation dives deep into the human elements that make or break these deals. We explore how personality fit between sellers and buyers determines long-term success, why private equity firms in the agency space focus on growth rather than cost-cutting, and the art of structuring earn-outs that actually motivate founders post-acquisition. Todd shares his counterintuitive advice for presenting conservative growth projections during sale negotiations to ensure achievable earn-outs later.We also tackle how AI and automation are reshaping the value equation for professional service firms. Rather than threatening agency values, these technologies may actually increase profitability by enabling firms to serve more clients with fewer people. Todd offers practical wisdom on why agency owners should focus on employee and client retention metrics as the true indicators of business quality, and how to distinguish between building a lifestyle business versus building to sell.Whether you're years away from an exit or actively considering one, this episode provides invaluable insights into maximizing the value of what you've built while creating alignment between your personal goals and your business strategy. The path to extraordinary wealth might just involve taking a smaller slice of a much bigger pie.Prof. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit.

Loral Langemeier is a six-time New York Times bestselling author, world-renowned financial expert, and founder of Integrated Wealth Systems. With over 20 years of experience, she has mentored thousands of entrepreneurs and investors, built multimillion-dollar companies, and partnered with legends like Bob Proctor and Robert Kiyosaki. Known as “The Millionaire Maker,” Loral specializes in teaching people how to sequence their wealth and create financial independence through real estate, business, and smart investing strategies.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Sequencing your wealth: doing the right thing at the right time. The importance of mentors and surrounding yourself with the right team. Why databases and consistent communication are critical assets for raising capital. Real estate investors often make mistakes by chasing deals without having capital and credit lined up. Debt can be a powerful tool—being in “good debt” is essential to scale quickly.     Topics From Farm Life to Financial Expert Grew up in Nebraska, discovered Think and Grow Rich early, and hired Bob Proctor at 21. Transitioned from exercise physiologist at Chevron to working with the Rich Dad team as master distributor of the Cashflow game. Building Wealth Through Sequencing Success comes from taking the right steps in the right order—structure before deals. Real estate investors fail when they do the right things at the wrong time. The Power of Mentorship and Team Mentors open doors, but you must provide value and take action. Success is built with a strong, trusted team—not by going solo. Raising Millions Through Databases Used her database of 18,000 people to raise $16M for projects in Oklahoma. Consistent communication and investor education are essential for long-term success. Debt as a Wealth Tool Don't fear debt—leverage it wisely for higher returns. Millionaires use “good debt” to accelerate wealth, not avoid it.

Today's Headlines: Fallout from a Wall Street Journal report revealing a bizarre birthday note allegedly from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein continues, with Trump denying authorship and suing the WSJ, Rupert Murdoch, and others for $10 billion in a defamation suit filed in Judge Aileen Cannon's district. Meanwhile, VP JD Vance quietly visited Murdoch just before the story broke, and the DOJ moved to unseal grand jury records on Epstein as reports suggest Trump's name triggered special review protocols within the FBI. Over in entertainment, CBS abruptly canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert shortly after Colbert slammed parent company Paramount for a Trump-linked $16M “settlement”—timed suspiciously with FCC approval requests for the Paramount–Skydance merger. Congress also voted to slash $1.1 billion in public broadcasting funds, disproportionately affecting rural NPR stations. On immigration, new reporting exposed unacknowledged passengers on deportation flights and the botched deportation of an elderly asylum recipient, now hospitalized in Guatemala after vanishing from ICE custody. Internationally, an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza church killed civilians and earned Netanyahu an apology call to the Pope, frustrating the Trump White House amid fragile ceasefire talks in Syria. And in financial news, the so-called GENIUS Act passed, boosting crypto markets by letting banks treat stablecoins as assets, not liabilities—just in time for “crypto week” on the Hill.
