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.

How to WIN a $16M Federal RECOMPETE by Outsmarting the Incumbent

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business host Troy Trewin interviews Kerry Boulton from Exit Strategy Group, who shares her incredible journey of buying a freight business doing $16M and growing it to $50M with the same 63 staff. Kerry reveals how she executed a strategic exit after seven years, then went on to build and sell multiple ventures. Now through The Exit Strategy Group, she mentors owners on being “always exit ready,” balancing business, financial, and personal goals. She discusses the power of systems, the Value Builder tool, and finding your “Alan Bond moment.” Kerry's story is a masterclass in scaling, cash flow, people, and creating true freedom.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

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.
