Govcon consulting is the fastest path into federal contracting for people who don't have past performance, capital, or a lengthy client roster and in 2024, it may also be your fastest path to a life-changing exit. Eric Coffie breaks down exactly how aspiring consultants can identify successful small businesses that are already doing five, seven, or ten million a year but have no one focused on growing them and turn that into a full consulting practice that leads to real federal contracts, teaming opportunities, and even acquisition-level deals. What you'll take away from this episode: Why owner-operators are the ideal consulting target — Most business owners are heads-down keeping the lights on and have zero bandwidth to pursue government work, even if they're already 8(a) certified. That gap is your opportunity. How to leverage other people's past performance and capabilities — You don't need your own contracts to get in the game. Find a capable company, represent them, bring them to the table, and build from there. The HVAC friend example that changes how you think about your network — Eric walks through a real webinar moment where one attendee realized his best friend's 22-location HVAC company operating in eight states was a ready-made consulting client. What private equity firms are paying Eric to do right now — With over $2.5 trillion in dry powder and a 35% decline in global deal values, PE firms are actively seeking GovCon businesses to acquire — and they want Eric to help build the pipeline. How David Stewart used the 8(a) program to go from $17M to $17B — The WWT Worldwide Technologies case study is the blueprint for why capacity-building inside these programs still creates generational wealth, even as the programs face legal challenges. EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Mindy AI and Encore Funding intro 1:19 - Govcon consulting model explained for small businesses 2:17 - Working on the business vs. working in the business 3:16 - Why 8(a) companies with revenue still leave contracts untouched 4:15 - Finding your first consulting client through your own network 5:43 - How bringing the right company creates value for everyone 7:12 - Federal set-aside programs currently under legal attack 8:40 - Building capacity so programs become optional not essential 9:38 - Private equity firms paying to train and acquire GovCon businesses 11:04 - Success stories: Chris, Miguel, and Maria's consulting journeys 13:32 - Acquisitions, M&A strategy, and the bigger picture for govcon 17:57 - How to apply lessons, partner up, and plan your exit strategy Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Book a free strategy call with CertainPath to see how we can help you hit your goals and beyond: https://bit.ly/4b0wLaZ Or call us at: (214) 453-1591 $17 million in residential HVAC sales. One comfort advisor in Boise, Idaho. Here's how Cord Nichols sells the top-tier system — every time. Cord Nichols isn't a closer who shows up Friday with a quote book. He's a comfort advisor at Diamond Heating & Cooling in Boise, Idaho — and he's quietly sold roughly $17 million in residential HVAC, including $2.25 million last year alone. He's a 7x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Cord didn't start in HVAC. His first sales job was door-to-door — security in his early twenties. He moved to Utah looking for a wife, found her, then sold solar door-to-door before the solar industry tightened in the mid-2010s. Wanting a trade he could "sink his teeth into" — and not be a one-trick pony — he approached Diamond cold. He'd never sold HVAC. But owners Rick and Sue Ellen hired him for his sales background. Today he's a Dave Ramsey debt-free dad of four (with a fifth on the way) who recently paid off his mortgage — all on residential HVAC sales. In this episode, Cord walks Bob Houchin through the exact playbook — every question he asks, every option he names, every word he uses — for turning a single in-home consultation into a top-tier HVAC sale. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $17M reveal — and the on-camera moment where Bob puts the career number on record • Why Cord opens every options reveal by repeating the customer's own words back to them • The Kia-vs-Toyota framing he uses to explain tiered HVAC systems in 30 seconds • The "Is there any reason I can't ask for your business today?" close — and the three answers it always produces • Why Cord names options after the customer's hobbies (the "14-Point Buck" move) • The clipboard intro that disarms skeptical homeowners ("I'm just going to be taking some notes") • "I am your one throat to choke" — the post-sale handoff line that earns lifelong customers Whether you're a comfort advisor working to break $2M for the first time, a sales manager building a residential HVAC playbook, or an owner trying to understand what consistent top-tier closing looks like — Cord's process is a masterclass in trust-first, conviction-led HVAC sales.

Meet the Guest Cord Nichols is a comfort advisor at Diamond Heating & Cooling — a family-owned, values-based HVAC company in Boise, Idaho, founded by Rick and Sue Ellen. After several years selling door-to-door (security in his early twenties, then solar in Utah and Idaho), Cord joined Diamond with zero HVAC experience and a strong sales background. He's now a 7x CertainPath Crown Champion with roughly $17 million in residential HVAC sales — including $2.25 million in his most recent year. He lives in Boise with his wife and four kids (with a fifth on the way) and recently paid off his mortgage as a Dave Ramsey debt-free family.

The hiring environment has fundamentally reset—and most talent acquisition teams are still using benchmarks built for a world that no longer exists. Between 2022 and 2025, everything changed: application volumes surged 385%, recruiter teams were cut by 57%, and AI simultaneously flooded pipelines with noise while offering new efficiencies. Yet against this backdrop, Greenhouse data from 17M+ applications across 800+ European organizations reveals a surprising truth—recruiters are actually performing better, not worse. Monthly hires per recruiter have jumped 113%. Jobs closed with a hire are up 13%. The teams thriving aren't those with bigger budgets or larger headcount. They're the ones who redefined what "good" looks like in this new reality. This webinar distills the definitive 2026 benchmarks from The Hire Standard report—the metrics that actually matter when volume is permanent, teams are lean, and AI is rewriting the rules. • The Volume Reality Check • The Productivity Paradox • Interview Intensity as Quality Control • Days-to-Fill Reinterpreted • Stage Progression Intelligence • Sourcing ROI Reality • The Recruiter-Sourced Advantage • AI at the Top of Funnel • Structured Process Under Pressure • The Employer Brand Imperative The teams still measuring against 2022 baselines are making disastrous decisions—cutting resources that are actually delivering, or maintaining processes that collapsed under new volume. The Hire Standard data reveals what "good" actually looks like when pipelines are flooded, teams are lean, and AI is both problem and solution. Includes exclusive access to The Hire Standard 2026 Benchmark Toolkit with calibrated metrics by organization size and industry. Live Q&A with data analysis leads.

El alcalde de Jaén, Julio Millán, valora los resultados del 17M en la capital.
El bloque PP+Vox+SALF ha conseguido el 58% de los votos en Andalucía el 17M, apenas 2 puntos menos que en 2022 pese a una participación 8 puntos mayor. Moreno Bonilla pierde la mayoría absoluta pero el PP suma más votos absolutos que en 2022 y alcanza su récord histórico en la comunidad. Y aquí viene la paradoja: este resultado, lejos de debilitar a la derecha española, probablemente acerque a Feijóo a Moncloa. Te explico las dos razones por las que el fracaso entre comillas de Moreno Bonilla puede acabar siendo el mejor regalo electoral para el bloque. Hosted on Acast.

What's it really like to buy a business? Not the Instagram version. Not the "Lamborghinis and Dubai" version. The real version. In this episode, Jonathan brings together a panel of experienced dealmakers at Riverside Studios, all of whom have completed multiple acquisitions across sectors including property, construction, accountancy, engineering, and more. What follows is one of the most honest conversations you'll hear about business buying. Behind the Scenes: Real Deals, Real Numbers This isn't theory. These are people who have actually done it: 11 deals in 5 years £17M group revenue £26M in acquisitions underway Multiple buy-and-build strategies across sectors And yet, despite the success… every single one of them has faced setbacks, stress, and deals falling apart. The Truth: Deals Fall Apart (Often at the Last Minute) One of the clearest messages from this episode: Expect things to go wrong. You'll hear examples like: Deals collapsing on the day of signing Sellers changing their mind at the last minute Lawyers slowing everything down Weeks (or months) of work disappearing overnight One dealmaker shares how they: Rebranded a business Built a website Spent £15,000 preparing …only for the seller to walk away at the final moment This is normal. The Emotional Reality Buying a business isn't just strategic, it's emotional. High highs when deals progress Low lows when they fall apart Constant uncertainty As one dealmaker puts it: It's a rollercoaster. Expect to strike out more than you succeed. If you're not prepared for that, it will catch you out. Seller Problems You Don't Expect Even after completion, challenges don't stop. Real examples from the episode include: Sellers sabotaging the business after selling Negative reviews being posted by the former owner Directors staying on and disrupting operations Internal conflict damaging performance These are rarely talked about, but they happen. How to Protect Yourself The panel shares practical ways to reduce risk: Avoid keeping sellers as directors unless absolutely necessary Use deferred consideration tied to performance Structure agreements so sellers are incentivised to help, not hinder Use clear consultancy agreements instead of vague ongoing roles Define responsibilities and expectations upfront The key idea: Alignment matters more than goodwill. Deal Flow: The Numbers Game No One Warns You About Another reality check: Finding the right deal takes volume. Thousands of letters Hundreds of conversations Single-digit response rates Even then: Most responses won't lead to deals Many opportunities won't stack up Persistence is essential But there's nuance: Some deals happen quickly Others take years Luck plays a role The only constant is this: You need to keep going. Persistence vs Stubbornness This episode draws an important distinction: Persistence = keep moving forward Stubbornness = repeating what doesn't work Successful dealmakers: Learn from failed deals Adjust their approach Delegate and outsource Focus on higher-value activity They don't just "try harder" They get smarter Why Most Business Owners Stay Stuck A powerful theme emerges: Most business owners: Grow slowly Stay in their comfort zone Chase small improvements While dealmakers: Think bigger Use acquisition to scale faster Double or triple revenue through deals The difference isn't intelligence. It's mindset. The Hidden Barrier: Your Own Thinking One of the most striking insights: Your growth is limited by what you believe is possible. Many people unconsciously cap their success They return to familiar "safe" levels They self-sabotage without realising To grow, you have to: Redefine what "normal" looks like Push beyond your current identity Think at a different level Key Takeaways If you're considering buying a business, take this seriously: 1. It's not glamorous Ignore what you see online. This is hard work. 2. Deals will fall apart Build resilience. Expect setbacks. 3. Sellers can become problems Structure deals to protect yourself. 4. Volume matters More conversations = more opportunities. 5. Learn and adapt Don't repeat the same mistakes. 6. Think bigger Acquisition is a faster path than organic growth. 7. Your mindset sets the ceiling If you don't change how you think, nothing else changes. If you're serious about buying a business – and avoiding the mistakes Jonathan outlines – book a free Clarity Call with one of his team:
Most people think real estate development is just construction. It's not. The real game starts years before a shovel hits the ground and that's where fortunes are made or lost.In this episode, Mikey Taylor and Michael Michalov break down the complete development cycle from raw land to stabilized asset. They cover how to assess whether buying or building makes sense for your situation, the entitlement process that can take years and cost hundreds of thousands before you build anything, how to work with cities to avoid expensive dead ends, the capital stack breakdown on a real development deal, and why they believe Southern California's difficulty is potentially an investment advantage.They also get into a heated debate about when value is actually “realized” in development and share the real numbers on a North Hollywood project tracking from a targeted $9.5M cost to $17M projected stabilized value.Whether you're considering your first development deal or deciding between buying stabilized assets and building from scratch, this episode gives you the operator-level framework.#RealEstateDevelopment #WealthBuilding #RealEstateInvesting Timestamps:0:00 — Buy vs. Build: Two completely different paths01:47 — When buying beats building (and vice versa)03:35 — The biggest mistake beginner developers make?06:08 — How to gauge city appetite before you could risk capital08:12 — Tying up property under contract during entitlements10:45 — Architects, engineers, and the entitlement process14:26 — Capital stack breakdown: the $10M example17:06 — The “realized value” debate (heated)21:11 — Why Southern California may be one of the hardest markets25:14 — The single greatest risk in real estate development?28:13 — Final framework: when to buy, when to build, when to waitThis content is for informational purposes only, is not offered as investment advice and should not be deemed as investment advice, and reflects the opinions and projections of COMMUNE as of the date of publication, which are subject to change without notice at any time subsequent to the date of issue.

Oil Prices - Bogus? - The price of oil in the middle east is at $140 for its land-locked price, but ocean traveling oil is at $100. - Sort, of, opposite of what you'd expect? - But, then there's been active conversation and warning about manipulating oil futures to manage the situation. - Oil in Backwardation across the spectrum. (Current price of oil contract is $95 and December contract is $75) Oil Prices may be BOGUS - But What About Gas? Gas Prices More Manipulation - The Trump administration has discussed trading in the oil futures market as a strategy to help curb surging crude prices amid the war in Iran, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. - US would just sell future contracts and then deliver at those prices at the end of the contract date. (SPR/Venezuela?) - Not sure how markets will take an intervention like that. - Remember when short selling was banned on Financials back in the 2008 ----Stock prices continued to fall during the ban and tended to stabilize only after it was lifted, suggesting the ban did not stop the decline. ------ Seems that when government intervenes in free markets they can set off more panic as the optics make it look even worse. ---- AND- Russian Oil sanctions partially removed Inflation and ECO - PCE Prices stay elevated - GDP rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of just 0.7% in the fourth quarter, according to a Commerce Department revision Friday. - The first revision of the GDP reading was a sharp step down from the previous estimate of 1.4% and well below the Dow Jones consensus forecast for 1.5%. - The core PCE inflation rose 0.4% in January and 3.1% on a 12-month basis.

Buffalo Bills Offseason Preview: Cap Moves, Coaching Fallout & Biggest Needs Ahead of Free Agency In this episode of Circling the Wagons, Nate and Jon discuss the Buffalo Bills' offseason as free agency approaches, reacting to the optics of Sean McDermott's firing and Terry Pegula's press conference comments, including criticism of Josh Allen's emotions and Keon Coleman. They review early roster and cap developments such as Spencer Brown's restructure and debate who could be restructured next, with Dawson Knox's $17M cap hit highlighted as a major issue and Curtis Samuel discussed as a likely cut. The hosts outline how cap constraints and recent free-agent misses increase pressure to draft well, possibly trade down for more picks, and address major needs: wide receiver, pass rush/edge, and—if the defense shifts to a 3-4 under Jim Leonhard—nose tackle and linebacker, plus safety and offensive line uncertainty after Aaron Kromer's departure. 00:00 Offseason Preview 00:55 Show Intro and Welcome 01:53 McDermott Firing Fallout 03:56 Culture and Roster Blame 07:06 Pegula Press Conference Drama 11:34 Cap Crunch and Draft Strategy 14:28 Defense Overhaul to 3-4 17:36 Joe Brady as Head Coach 18:57 Roster Strengths and Weaknesses 22:23 Wide Receiver Fixes Needed 23:33 Spencer Brown Restructure 24:42 Dawson Knox Contract Dilemma 27:33 Knox vs Kincaid Value 28:52 Extensions and Cap Hits 30:50 Cutting Curtis Samuel 31:28 Paying Josh Allen Debate 34:51 Bills Leadership History 36:20 Owner Press Conference Critique 41:21 Optimism vs Dread 42:44 NFLPA Report Card Grades 46:36 Draft Needs Priorities 51:24 Safety Options and Tre White 53:51 Wrap Up and Sign Off If you like our show, tell a friend and spread the word!

[Audio section from Video on 01-21-2026]: Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR) (OTCQX:SLVTF), joins me for a special video segment which visually unpacks the key metrics, maps, and forward-looking plan for the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the underground mining second phase of the El Tigre Project. We also review what the combined El Tigre Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico looks like on a valuation standpoint, when one sees the first phase surface mining stockwork zone in tandem with the underground second phase. The bolt-on PEA is centered on the underground mining economics of the high-grade El Tigre, Sulphide, Black Shale and Seitz Kelly zones. The PEA mine design can be constructed independently of the Stockwork Zone development and is focused on the underground Mineral Resource. Prospective areas exist outside of the areas defined by the PEA and PFS with the historic “El Tigre North Mine” Mineral Resource located 700 metres to the North. Highlights of the PEA , with a base case silver price of $38/oz and gold price of $3,200/oz are as follows (all figures in US dollars unless otherwise stated): After-Tax net present value (“NPV”) (using a discount rate of 5%) of $304 million with an After-Tax IRR of 42.8% and Payback Period of 2.6 years (Base Case); 15-year UG mine life with 3-year historical tailings processing recovering a total of 38 million payable silver equivalent ounces (“AgEq”) or 453 thousand gold equivalent ounces (“AuEq”), consisting of 34 million silver ounces and 130 thousand gold ounces; Total Project undiscounted after-tax cash flow of $496 million; Initial capital costs of $83.5 million, including $10.9 million in contingency costs, over an expected 18-month build, and sustaining capital costs of $213 million over the life of mine (“LOM”); The 2026 PEA mine plan is designed as stand-alone to the PFS, with a potential overlap of initial capital cost of $17M (e.g., grid power, offices); Average LOM operating cash costs of $1,351/oz AuEq, and all in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $2,019/oz AuEq or Average LOM operating cash costs of $16.05/oz AgEq, and AISC of $23.98/oz AgEq; Average annual production of approximately 2.3 million AgEq oz or 27.8 thousand AuEq oz, consisting of 2.1 million silver ounces and 8.0 thousand gold ounces (refer to Table 10 footnotes for conversion to Eq ozs); and PEA Study of the Southern Veins does not include the 38 million ounces AgEq contained in the Northern Veins (see details in updated Mineral Resource Estimate below). We also go on to unpack all the #exploration upside still at surface, in the underground, and along the district-scale mineralized trend of a number of historic past-producing mines that will have drill programs for many years into the future.

SEO Secrets for 2026: A Deep Dive into Schema Markup, Structure, and Indexing with Favour Obasi-ike with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.Happy New Year! This episode provides a focused, actionable roadmap for business and website owners aiming to dominate search rankings in 2026. It moves beyond basic SEO to reveal three foundational, yet often overlooked, strategies: two internal and one external.Favour synthesizes the strategy into a winning formula: Schema + Structure + Speed. A website that excels in these three areas becomes a "triple threat"—it's understood by algorithms, technically sound, and delivers a superior user experience, making it the preferred result in search.Call to Action: For professional SEO help, you can book a call at playinc.online, listen to the podcast at wedontplaypodcast.com, or contact the me via email (info@playinc.online). More resource links available below.Core Framework for 2026 SEO Success:Internal Secret #1: Master Schema MarkupWhat it is: Explicit code (microdata) that tells search engines and AI exactly what your content means (e.g., Article, FAQ, Product).Why it matters: It "future-proofs" your content by turning pages into structured assets that AI-driven search tools can understand and feature correctly. It's the essential language for communicating with modern algorithms.Internal Secret #2: Prioritize Logical Site StructureWhat it is: A clear, hierarchical blueprint for your website using heading tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) in the correct, sequential order.Why it matters: It serves both crawlers and users. It guides algorithms through your content while creating an intuitive, trustworthy experience for visitors. A confused structure repels both.External Secret: Leverage Automatic IndexingWhat it is: A technical method using an API to submit thousands of pages per day to Google, bypassing the strict 10-URL daily limit of manual submission in Search Console.Why it matters: For content-rich sites, it ensures your work is efficiently seen and indexed by Google, preventing valuable content from being overlooked.Episode Timestamps[03:30] Internal Secret #1: Master Schema MarkupWhat it is: Explicit code that tells search engines and AI what your content means.Why it matters: It future-proofs content, turning pages into structured assets that modern algorithms and AI search tools can correctly understand and feature.[13:00] Internal Secret #2: Prioritize Logical Site StructureWhat it is: A clear hierarchy using heading tags (H1, H2, H3) in correct order.Why it matters: It guides search engine crawlers and creates an intuitive, trustworthy experience for human users. Poor structure confuses both.[22:00] External Secret: Leverage Automatic IndexingWhat it is: Using an API to submit thousands of pages/day to Google, bypassing manual limits.Why it matters: Ensures large volumes of content are efficiently seen and indexed. A case study showed 27% of a 17M-page portfolio indexed in two weeks.[29:30] Key Conclusion: The "Triple Threat" FormulaThe winning formula is Schema + Structure + Speed. This combination ensures a site is understood by algorithms, technically sound, and delivers a superior user experience.[31:00] Call to Action: For help, book a call at playinc.online, listen to the podcast, or contact the host via email/LinkedIn.Next Steps for Booking A Discovery Call | Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

In this episode of The Eric Coffie Show, Eric sits down with longtime student-turned-power player, Randy Ward, to unpack the real-life wins, losses, crises, and comebacks behind her remarkable GovCon journey—including how she landed $17M in contracts during COVID, survived a rogue subcontractor who tried to sabotage her, and how relationships inside federal agencies saved a major project from collapsing. Eric and Randy share unfiltered stories from the field, the mindsets that separate winners from pretenders, and why the upcoming women's group inside the community is becoming a must-have space for rising GovCon leaders. Key Takeaways Relationships beat credentials—Randy's FAA contract survived because of agency trust, not paperwork. Subs can make or break you—one greedy subcontractor nearly killed a multimillion-dollar project. You don't need perfect credit or bonding—Randy still won contracts worth over $17M during COVID.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today we are joined by Richard Wilson, CEO of Family Office Club, the largest investor community for ultra-wealthy families with over 7,500+ members and 16+ in-person events every year. Richard has spent 18 years studying how the richest entrepreneurs protect and grow wealth, building a global social network of 17M+ followers and interviewing billionaires to decode what truly moves the needle. In this episode, we chat about… What the ultra-wealthy are actually investing in right now Why investors are moving away from "spray and pray" diversification The rise of Bitcoin and collateral-backed deals Avoiding crowded, boring, and mediocre capital raises How mindset shifts as you level up net worth Why investors want to know you personally, not as a number The power of proximity and joining the right rooms Family Office myths vs. reality (fewer Rolex flexes than you think) Simple tools that make raising capital faster and more credible Key Takeaways: Trust beats hype. Today's capital wants security, clarity, and in-person relationships. Don't diversify blindly. Smart wealth plays offense where they know the game well. Alignment matters. Investors gravitate to founders with shared industry expertise. Materials make you investable. One-liner. One-pager. One-minute pitch video. Environment is everything. The right room can accelerate opportunity overnight. Be uniquely valuable. Say what no one else can say, that's how deals get attention.

Because he's a douche.MATTTarget is eliminating 1,800 roles as new CEO Michael Fiddelke gets set to take over the struggling retailer - WHO DO YOU BLAME?Current CEO Brian Cornell, who's “stepping down” to the role of Executive Chair - which is basically still CEO, just on the board and doesn't have to talk to employees anymore, so he can eliminate 1800 jobs and then fade away into a multimillion dollar unaccountable board roleFuture CEO Michael Fiddelke, who starts February 1, 2026, but is current COO and was forced to send the memo to employees telling them 8% of the workforce will be cutMonica Lozano, chair of the compensation and human capital management committee of the board, who's also on the BofA and Apple boards and is the most connected board member at a highly connected board - does the chair of the human capital committee have to weigh in on firing?OpenAI - the memo makes zero mention of the fact that part of Target's problem is that it shit on gays and blacks because of a feckless internet toad named Robby Starbuck, but feels very written by AI which would account for phrases like:“Adjusting our structure is one part of the work ahead of us. It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means? Doesn't it just mean “you're fired because we basically sucked at our jobs”?Hormel recalls 4.9M pounds of chicken possibly 'contaminated with pieces of metal' - WHO DO YOU BLAME?The audit committee, the closest committee responsible for enterprise risk (ie, metal in chicken) - Stephen M. Lacy, William A. Newlands (also lead director), Debbra L. Schoneman, Sally J. Smith (chair), Steven A. White, Michael P. ZechmeisterThe governance committee - James Snee, the now retired CEO who retired somehow in January but the company still hasn't found a permanent replacement 9 months later - so they're being run by Jeff Ettinger, interim CEO? Chair Gary C. Bhojwani, Elsa A. Murano, Ph.D., William A. Newlands (also lead director), Debbra L. Schoneman, Steven A. WhiteThe one black guy on the board - Steve White - who works at Comcast, is somehow qualified to be on Hormel board, and is on BOTH the audit committee AND governance committeeThe conveyor belt that spit pieces of metal as large as 17mm long into “fire braised chicken” sent to hotels and restaurantsCervoMed appoints McKinsey veteran David Quigley to board of directors - WHO DO YOU BLAME? Board is 2 VCs, a longtime biotech CFO, and five MD/PhDs. And among those 8, there are just two woman - the co-founder/wife of the CEO and a VC. And when they did their search, they could only find a longtime professional opinion haver - a consultant from the big three?Nominating committee for lack of imaginationEx or current McKinsey, Bain, and BCG employed directors - the opinion industrial complex - make up a whopping 4% of ALL US DIRECTORSAmong boards with MULTIPLE ex opinion directors: Kohl's is 25% consultantStarbucks is 27% consultantDisney is 30% consultantsWilliams-Sonoma is 38% consultantCBRE is 40% consultant!Nominating committee chair Jane Hollingsworth, for not looking around the room and saying, “hey dudes, can we add, like, maybe, ONE other lady?”Co founders Sylvie Gregoire and John Alam (also CEO) who own 17.3% of voting power - add in Josh Boger, board chair and 12.3% voter, and you basically have the CEO daddy and his buddy Josh with 29.6% of voting controlSylvie and John's bios, which neglect to mention they're married to one anotherWe are all terrified of the future - which headline is worse for your terror?

So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault? A Yale economist paper suggests that Musk's politics cost between 1 and 1.26 million Tesla car sales… Would we even be worried if Musk stayed out of politics? Wouldn't the market have just paid him whatever?Pop quiz: which directors stay on the board if Musk leaves in a tantrum?Jeffrey StraubelKimbal MuskRobyn DenholmJames MurdochKathleen Wilson-ThompsonIra EhrenpreisJack HartungJoe Gebbia

In the Dumpster this week: We note the passing of Kelly Clarson's ex Brandon Blackstock at just 48. Please keep his four children in your thoughts. Actress, singer, Prince confidant, and other multi-hyphenate Apollonia (Patricia Apollonia Kotero), at the young age of 66, finds herself embroiled in a legal battle with Prince's estate over her name. Though Apollonia has been going by the moniker professionally since the 1980s, including while starring in Prince's Purple Rain film, and owns several trademarks for it, Paisley Park Enterprises is coming after her in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to try to cancel her ownership of her name. And while the Biebers have managed to avoid entry in the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe (by staying married!), we are officially launching "Bieber Watch" after Hailey's strong assertion of the stability of their marriage in May's issue of Vogue. Yeah, we're late to the party - people have been proclaiming the end that marriage since they started dating! Also, Justin Bieber's Instagram shows him recently hanging out with fellow Disney Channel alum Kyle Massey, which caused a bit of an uproar online. Massey stands accused of sending nude pictures to a 13 year old. Over in Hollywoodland, Leonardo DiCaprio has sat for a rare interview with Esquire Magazine and director Paul Thomas Anderson. In it, he explains that while he has entered his fifth birthday, his emotional age is more like 35. Seems high! Princess Lee Radziwill (and Jackie Kennedy's sister) Lee Radziwill's Upper East Side duplex is on the market - for a mere $17M. At 4,600-square-feet and with views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue, photos reveal a gorgeous home that's certainly out of our price range. Finally, in Cardi B and Offset news, it seems that Offset may be a bit tweaked that Cardi has moved on with a New England Patriots player - and declared his crush on singer Sabrina Carpenter, though he could not name any of her songs.
