NSFW. THOMAS MASSIE IS FACING EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATIONS FROM A FORMER ROMANTIC PARTNER — AND THE TIMING, ONE WEEK BEFORE THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOUSE PRIMARY IN AMERICAN HISTORY, RAISES AS MANY QUESTIONS AS THE CLAIMS THEMSELVES. We break down the Cynthia West allegations against Rep. Thomas Massie, the congressional slush fund that has paid out millions in taxpayer-funded silence, and the founding fathers who set the precedent for all of it. Will Chamberlain and Judge Andrew Napolitano join to walk through the legal architecture — what the allegations actually mean, what could be prosecuted, and what happens after May 19th.

Author sues big tech companies for $18M for censorship. Suspect with butcher knife fatally shot by officers. Man with machete goes insane on officers after attacking three civilians. LEO Round Table: First Amendment Rights, Big Tech Censorship, and Urban Policing Crises LEO Roundtable: Law Enforcement Insights Analyzing the intersection of constitutional rights, public safety, and political accountability. CORE ARGUMENT "The First Amendment protects peaceable assembly, not a generalized license for disruption or criminal violence." TY Dr. Travis Yates Retired Police Major DP Dr. Darrin Porcher Retired NYPD Lieutenant Key Discussion Pillars The Censorship Battle Florida author Chris Courtney sues Amazon, Google, and Meta for $18M over alleged "jawboning"—government-pressured suppression of conservative content. Tactical Use of Force Analysis of recent knife/machete attacks in Houston and NYC Grand Central. Emphasis on "Time, Distance, and Cover" and the legal standard of Graham v. Connor. The Staffing "Sabotage" Experts argue major cities (NYC/Phoenix) are intentionally maintaining short-staffing to "defund by proxy," leading to massive overtime costs ($98M+). #FirstAmendment #PublicSafety #BigTechLawsuit #PoliceRecruitment Host: Chip DeBlock | Episode: 2026-05-07 Full Transcript: leoroundtable.com Executive Summary This session of the LEO Round Table features law enforcement experts discussing the legal boundaries of the First Amendment, a high-stakes censorship lawsuit against Big Tech, and the tactical realities of recent officer-involved shootings in Houston and New York City. The panel highlights the growing friction between government influence, private platform policies, and the operational challenges of understaffed police departments. Detailed Summary 1. The First Amendment and the "Right to Protest" The panel explored the legal framework of the First Amendment, emphasizing that the Constitution protects "peaceable assembly" rather than a generalized license for disruption. Dr. Travis Yates and Dr. Darrin Porcher clarified that the First Amendment specifically restricts government intrusion, not the policies of private entities or workplaces. They noted a concerning trend where modern protests often bypass the original intent of "petitioning for redress" in favor of confrontational participation. A critical distinction was made: while the government cannot eliminate access to public forums, it can regulate use to prevent violence, trespassing, or criminal activity. Constitutional Framework: Private vs. Public ✅ Government Restriction: The First Amendment prohibits government actors from suppressing speech or assembly.

Dave discusses how Flotek scaled its finance and billing operations from a simple setup (a bookkeeper and a director overseeing finances) to a more structured team while growing rapidly through acquisitions. He explains their philosophy that client-facing billing is part of service delivery, with SLAs and a "wow" mindset to protect relationships and reduce friction from invoice errors. The conversation covers challenges of cost-of-sale reconciliation amid inconsistent vendor billing, the need to accept imperfect acquisition data, and using standard cost models and monthly margin monitoring (with more precision where margins are tighter, like Microsoft). They emphasise simplifying vendors/products, building processes and controls across sales, projects, and finance, capturing historical billing data, and balancing automation with necessary manual review. Dave notes they reached £18M revenue in 3.5 years and wishes he had hired earlier, stressing upfront investment in scalable systems, culture, and pricing for long-term growth.   00:00 MSP Finance at Scale 00:50 Early Acquisition Setup 01:47 Billing as Customer Service 05:24 Wow Factor and Trust 08:17 Cost Reconciliation Reality 10:14 Standard Costs and Margins 14:45 Automation and AI Tools 17:39 Limiting Complexity 19:53 Team Size and Reporting Depth 23:24 Sales Ops to Finance Handoff 27:46 Lessons from Rapid Growth 29:32 Closing and Contact Connect with Dave Middleton on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-j-middleton/ Connect with Daniel Welling on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielwelling/ Connect with Adam Morris on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcmorris/ Visit The MSP Finance Team website, simply click here –https://www.mspfinanceteam.com/   MSP Glossary: MSP Finance Glossary Explained | MSP Finance Team We look forward to catching up with you on the next one.

Who were some winners of the Group's award divisions? How do these wins impact Genesee County's residents and small businesses? You referenced some of the policy changes that happened both at the federal and state levels. How did the Group work support businesses amidst those changes? Dr. Bobby Mukkamala was your keynote.

As part of the presentation, CEO Tim Herman noted two central themes that emerged while developing the organization's latest annual report: change and collaboration. He pointed to a shifting landscape shaped by a new federal administration, evolving state-level policies, and the continued growth of artificial intelligence, among other factors. “Through all of this, the Flint & Genesee Group stayed focused on advancing the Forward Together vision of making Flint & Genesee a top-five county in Michigan by 2040,” said Herman. “And we did that by working together to improve outcomes in the spaces of jobs, talent, livability, and equity.” Herman also emphasized the critical role of partnerships in driving these efforts forward. “The work we do absolutely could not be done without others,” he said. “Strong, intentional partnerships are essential to achieving meaningful, long-term impact across our community.” The annual report noted that — in addition to helping businesses understand and prepare for new laws that went into effect in 2025 — the Flint & Genesee Chamber established the Mid-Michigan Nonprofit Professionals. It also revitalized the Disability Works committee with support from partners at the Genesee Intermediate School District, The Disability Network, Peckham Industries, Genesee County Parks, and other leading organizations. Additionally, the Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance closed on three major development deals that will result in $50.5 million of private investment and the creation of 317 new jobs for Genesee County. These included Fluid Cooling Systems, Custom Air Handling, and Miller Industries. Finally, the Flint & Genesee Group advocated on behalf of the region's business community, specifically around bills that pertained to work in business, talent, and place, such as the Earned Sick Time Act and the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act. It also celebrated being awarded a Top Workplaces honor by the Detroit Free Press for the third consecutive year. Please note that the highlights included here just skim the surface of all that was accomplished in 2025. For a more thorough overview, visit AnnualReport.FlintandGenesee.org.

When clients come to Simple CFO, they almost always arrive with one version of their story — and leave the first 60 days with a completely different plan. In this episode, Cristina Gutierrez sits down with CFO Aaron Jurski to pull back the curtain on how he meets clients exactly where they are and transforms their financial clarity from the ground up.Aaron walks through real client case files — from a high-cash-flow commercial real estate investor drowning in unchecked subscriptions, to a Utah contractor who'd never built a budget, to a North Carolina investor sitting on $18M in assets but paying an unnecessary 18-20% on his debt. Each story reveals what it actually looks like when a fractional CFO steps in, asks the right questions, and builds a plan that matches the real business — not the one described in the sales call.Timeline Highlights[0:23] Introducing Aaron Jurski and his background in commercial real estate and private equity[1:54] The types of clients Aaron works with: contractors, developers, and experienced investors[3:30] How Simple CFO's methodology creates financial clarity and understanding[5:35] Case file #1: The high-cash-flow retail investor spending $600K/year with zero visibility[11:48] Case file #2: The Utah contractor six months behind on reconciliation with no budget[13:15] Building lender decks and helping emerging businesses access institutional financing[14:37] Why fewer KPIs are always better — and how to choose the right ones[16:16] The hidden cash flow hit of five-week payroll months[18:57] The common thread: every client needs visibility and understanding of their numbers[20:03] Why entrepreneurs manage from their bank balance — and what that costs them[21:13] The tax blindspot almost every small business owner shares[22:06] CFO vs. bookkeeper: the difference between ten feet and 10,000 feet[24:05] What the first 60 days with Aaron actually looks like[25:22] Case file #3: The North Carolina investor with 200 rentals and untapped institutional equity[33:38] Why DIY Profit First without a financial assessment funds bad habits instead of fixing them[35:29] The elevator pitch test: knowing your numbers in one sentence[38:23] Budget-to-actuals and why you should never keep adjusting the budget[39:34] The stoplight page, goal worksheets, and KPI tracking inside the Simple CFO dashboard[41:24] Delegating the right tasks so the owner can stay focused on driving revenueKey TakeawaysEvery client comes in with one story — and the first 60 days reveals a different one.Managing your business from your bank balance is the most common and most costly habit fractional CFOs see.High cash flow hides problems. It doesn't solve them.Fewer KPIs create more focus — six to twelve wash over each other.DIY Profit First without a financial assessment just funds the same bad habits in an organized way.A CFO operates at 10,000 feet. A bookkeeper works at ten feet. Both matter — but only one can set a plan.Untapped equity and unexamined debt structures are often worth more to a client than any new deal they're chasing.Links & Resources Book a free financial discovery call with the Simple CFO team: simplecfo.comClosing Thanks for listening to the Simple CFO Case Files on the Profit First for Real Estate Investors podcast.

Norm Volsky doesn't just place people at companies. He invests in them. After 14 years in digital health and employee benefits recruiting, Norm has built something almost nobody else in this industry has pulled off: a $6M recruiting practice and a fully operational venture capital firm — running side by side, feeding each other, in the same niche. His first client, Livongo, sold to Teladoc for $18.5 billion. His second, Hinge Health, just IPO'd for $3 billion. He placed three dozen people at Hinge alone. And somewhere along the way, he realized the smartest investors in the room already trusted him more than any VC — because he knew every founder, every pricing model, every hiring trend before they did. So he stopped just taking fees. He started taking equity.

During the Asia-focused Episode 35 of Biotalk, Geoff Meyerson, CEO of Locust Walk, reviews key 2026 Q1 Report: Global Trends in Biopharma Transactions trends across China, Japan, and Korea.  China: Dominated global licensing with 66% of deal value -up from 48% in full-year 2025 -anchored by CSPC–AstraZeneca ($18.5B) and Innovent–Lilly ($8.5B). Venture financing surged to a three-year high of $1.2B across 17 deals, led by Corxel Pharmaceuticals' $287M oral GLP-1 Series D. Out-licensing remains the dominant business model, now structural and increasingly central to global biopharma dealmaking.  Japan: Biotech stocks outperformed pharma (+10% vs. +8%), and the IPO market reopened after 18 months with Innovacell and J-Pharma raising $112M combined. Japan-based buyers licensed three programs averaging $1.2B in deal value, with 100% from early-stage programs -reflecting growing appetite for pipeline diversification.  Korea: The KOSPI rose 17%, though biotech stocks fell 14%. Venture financing rebounded to $125M across six deals, up from just $18M in Q4 2025, concentrated in early-stage oncology. Korean sellers drove the majority of licensing activity from non-major markets with two early-stage transactions averaging $405M.  Regional Takeaway: Q1 2026 confirmed Asia-Pacific's rising centrality in global biopharma. China's record out-licensing drove global deal value, Japan reopened its public markets, and Korea showed early signs of a cautious recovery.  Listen now to gain insights into the evolving global biopharma landscape, explore our report, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss its contents with you.

Most entrepreneurs think the next stage of their business requires a better strategy. Dwayne Kerrigan disagrees. In Part 2 of his live keynote at the LeanScaper Operations Intensive in Cape Coral, Florida, he makes the case that what's actually required is a different identity — and that without that shift, no system, tool, or team will get you where you're trying to go. In this episode: Dwayne walks through his personal identity chart — from the "warrior" and "general" identities that ran his life for years, to the consciously designed identities he operates from today, including the Chairman, the Profit Seeker, and the Peak Performance Coach Why the Serenity Prayer became one of the most powerful business tools Dwayne ever learned — and how distinguishing what you can and can't control transformed his leadership at 32 years old, running an $18M business with 300 employees A live identity creation exercise: how to write your own eulogy for a specific business role, and why that process is the starting point for becoming who your business needs you to be The eight stages of the entrepreneur and the business lifecycle — and why understanding exactly where you are in both is critical to knowing which identity needs to show up The four economic seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) and why Dwayne believes the landscaping industry is currently sitting somewhere between late fall and early winter 40 years of lessons learned — distilled into the principles that have shaped how Dwayne builds, leads, and recovers Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Tsunami Of Change 00:27 - Podcast Mission 00:59 - Internal Vs External 02:07 - Serenity Prayer Lesson 03:42 - Identity Chart Origins 04:32 - From Warrior To General 06:10 - Purpose And Marriage 07:47 - Building New Identities 08:48 - Chairman Identity Script 09:50 - Language And Questions 12:38 - Borrowing Role Models 13:41 - Post Fight Debrief 14:40 - Create Your Identity 16:48 - Write Your Eulogy 17:46 - Visualization And Realism 19:01 - Do The Work 19:48 - Physiology Guidelines 20:15 - Physiology and Rituals 20:57 - Energy and Emotions 22:00 - Identity Agent Tool 23:53 - Daily Identity Editing 24:56 - Future Shock and Adaptation 26:22 - Economic Seasons Framework 27:58 - Entrepreneur Stages 29:13 - Business Lifecycle Reality 31:33 - Shift Identity in 3D 31:56 - Courage and Deep Thinking 34:57 - Lessons Learned Log 37:19 - Hard Won Business Rules 40:19 - Final Fear and Farewell Resources Mentioned: Think and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill Stephen Covey — The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey Institute Keith Cunningham — referenced as the "Rich Dad" in Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad Tony Robbins — Date With Destiny, UPW seminars Identity framework AI agent — available at The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast: https://www.dwaynekerrigan.com/identity-framework/Quotes: “You can either be right or you can be rich, but you can't be both.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “I did this for my wife through a lot of pain and self suffering, I had to get to the point where the general just couldn't run the show anymore because it was just not sustainable.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “You don't experience the life that you live.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#211 Natepril Fools - Podcast Description Summary (April 4, 2026 Recording) In this episode of the Fork in Your Ear Podcast, hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate (the "nape profile" and self-proclaimed master of puns and dad jokes) catch up after some technical hiccups and a holiday-related scheduling shift. They kick things off with a light-hearted roast of their absent Discord friend "Dame," who recently became a dad (congrats!) but kept it quiet, then nerd out over his rediscovered 90s Pokémon Gold/Silver BradyGames guidebook. Xbox Developer Preview Highlights The bulk of the conversation dives into the recent Xbox Partner Preview event. Nate walks through the announced titles (mostly in alphabetical order), with Tim chiming in on what catches his eye: Alien: Descent Storm – Atmospheric first-person survival shooter on Mars. Artificial Detective – Kitschy post-apocalyptic robot detective game with stylish storytelling. Send to Zero – Isometric pixel-art action game that reminds Tim of classic Final Fantasy aesthetics but sparks his mixed feelings on isometric perspectives (he prefers top-down; blames Sonic 3D Blast trauma). Happy Snaps – Basically Pokémon Snap but in the Bluey universe (Nate's kids will love it; lots of wholesome family talk and mild commentary on the IP being milked). Dispatch – The full collection is finally coming to Xbox (Play Anywhere, cloud, Series X/S). Tim highlights that the game has already sold 5 million copies pre-Xbox release—outpacing many big Sony titles. The Eternal Life of Oldman – Hand-drawn side-scroller where you play as an old man fixing/upgrading with his cane; Tim and Nate both vibe with the "games for us old guys" theme. The Expanse: Born from Cyberspace – Mass Effect-style RPG set in the beloved Expanse universe. Nate is hyped; they debate whether it's canon to the books/show. Forever Ago – Narrative adventure about an old man unlocking life memories (another "old guy game"). Frog Squad – Chaotic co-op puzzle game with frogs using tongues (reminds Tim of Chameleon Twist); looks like family fun despite the dated graphics. Grave Seasons – Farming sim with a dark/terrifying twist (Jessica would love it, per Tim). Hades II – Coming to Xbox; Tim shouts out Supergiant Games. Hunter: The Reckoning – Death Wish – First-person shooter take on the classic co-op gauntlet-style series. Moosa: Dirty Fate – Feudal Japan-inspired dark action game with bloody executions. Serious Sam – New 5-player co-op shooter from Behavior Interactive; Tim calls it "turn your brain off and shoot" in a good way. Stalker 2: Cost of Hope DLC – More content for the Ukrainian-developed series. Stranger Than Heaven – Brawler-style game from RGG Studio (Yakuza/Like a Dragon team?); graphics feel dated. Super Meat Boy 3D – Already out, but early feedback is disappointing (sloppy controls, no involvement from original creator Edmund McMillen). Vanted – Tactical RPG with explosive turn-based/real-time combat and Team Fortress-y art. Wuthering Waves – Coming to Xbox/Game Pass; Tim describes it as "Genshin Impact but more sci-fi, with Pokémon elements and better gameplay." They note the heavy presence of narrative-driven, story-focused, or "inclusive for older gamers" titles, which both hosts appreciate. What They've Been Playing Nate: Jumped into the recommended twin-stick Zelda-like Mini Shoot Adventures on Tim's suggestion. He's beaten the first dungeon boss, done ship upgrades, and shares Tim's minor complaint about missing dungeon maps, though it doesn't bother him as much. Loves the smooth controls, auto-shoot option, and forgiving fail states. Also tried a bit of ARK: Survival Ascended with the kids (dinosaurs!) but found the tutorial/missions frustrating and deadly. Tim: Finished Mini Shoot Adventures (highly recommends it). Played Life is Strange: Double Exposure with his wife—enjoyed the story, music, and choices but found the ending lackluster. They're looking forward to the new sequel Life is Strange: Reunion. Struggled heavily with ARK (wires quest saga involving drones, rockets, crashes, and rage-quits). Mentioned idle grinding in Exo Miner hitting brutal late-game walls. Entertainment & Culture Deaths: James Tolkan (Principal Strickland from Back to the Future, also in Top Gun) at 94, and animator Barry Caldwell (Tiny Toons, Smurfs, etc.). Movies: Tim and his wife saw Project Hail Mary in IMAX—loved the adaptation of Andy Weir's book, Ryan Gosling's performance, and the impressive practical puppet work (especially the alien). Highly recommended for space fans. Super Mario Galaxy Movie 2: Tim went opening night. Lots of Nintendo cameos (including Star Fox voiced by Glen Powell), stunning animation and score, but criticized as overstuffed, fast-paced dopamine overload with thin character development and a chaotic plot. Fun for Nintendo fans as a "Super Nintendo World: The Movie" experience, but not a strong standalone film. Yoshi's backstory montage is a highlight; Donald Glover does the voice. Other: Tim watched Mercy (Chris Pratt + AI judge system) and re-watched Minority Report. Nate had a nostalgia kick with 80s films like D.A.R.Y.L. and The Last Starfighter (which he thinks needs a modern remake). They're watching Invincible Season 4—Tim calls Episode 5 one of the darkest, most disturbing things he's seen in animation. Life Stories Nate got his Tony Hawk skateboard delivered by an Amazon driver… who arrived on a skateboard himself (Tim and Nate both found this hilarious and practical). Tim's mom is back living with him after time in Florida—some minor household adjustments and "special mug" incidents. Work stress is high with big out-of-state jobs, parts delays, and travel anxiety (food allergies add extra layers). Nate's wife is stressed finishing the school yearbook; end-of-month work crunch for him too. General adulting chaos: kids, house, motorcycle service, etc. Podcast note: A long-time coworker finally discovered the show and gave audio volume feedback (services sometimes re-encode files lower). Tim fixed some broken links (RIP old Stitcher) and reminded listeners where to find the show (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, direct RSS). Technology Apple planning to add search ads to Maps (Nate and Tim not thrilled; fear of nickel-and-diming premium users). OpenAI in rough shape: burning ~$18M/day, Sora video platform shutting down, Disney exiting a $1B deal, potential IPO struggles, and scientific concerns about ChatGPT encouraging psychosis via constant affirmation. Micron RAM issues tied to OpenAI orders also impacted broader memory pricing. Anthropic's Claude AI had source code accidentally exposed in an update, leading to community "Claw Code" recreations. Artemis II successfully launched (despite April Fools timing causing momentary panic online). Crew is en route for a lunar flyby; they're using iPhone 17 Pros (first time an iPhone model is officially space-rated). Cool Earth photos and real-time mission updates shared. The episode is classic Fork in Your Ear: relaxed banter, deep game talk, honest opinions on media, relatable life gripes, and a mix of excitement and skepticism about tech/AI/space progress. Tim and Nate keep it real, funny, and grounded while covering a wide range of nerdy topics. Runtime vibe: Casual morning recording with occasional kid interruptions, tech troubleshooting, and plenty of laughs. Perfect for gamers, sci-fi fans, and anyone who enjoys two friends shooting the breeze.

Ingenion Medical, run by our guest Ed Cappabianca, is going to change the standard catheter in the UK - The Foley catheter. Urinary catheter-associated infections kill 2,100 people a year and block 1.2 million hospital bed-days. And yet, the Foley catheter - the standard of care - has barely changed in 91 years. Ingenion Medical has built what replaces it.The cymactive™ 2.0R is a CE-marked, patient-controlled urethral catheter with a patented magnetic valve that is already in clinical use across the UK and 15 international markets. It is superior to either standard Foleys or intermittent catheters, and generates revenue today. Ingenion Medical are seeking investors. Here's the Investment case:• Revenue generative, regulatory approved. CE Mark achieved Q1 2024. ISO 13485 renewed October 2025. FDA pre-sub meeting completed.• Commercial traction. Distributor agreements in over 10 countries. NHS Supply Chain at contract award stage. 15 NHS hospitals active or in pipeline.• Profitable at 1,600 patients per month (80 urologists x 20 patients). Breakeven H2 2027. £49m revenue projected 2030.• Exit precedent. Comparable urology acquisitions: Urotronic > Laborie $600m;Neotract > Teleflex $1.1b; Augmenix > Boston Scientific $600m; .• World-class advisors. Advisory board includes: Professor Chris Chapple (former European Association of Urology Secretary General) and Professor Kurt Naber, global authority on urinary tract infections.If you would like the detailed Investor Pitch Deck, go to: ingenion.approvedinvestors.co.ukSummary of PodcastKey TakeawaysThe Problem: Current catheters cause frequent, costly infections (£2k–£3.5k per cycle for the NHS) and severely limit patient mobility and quality of life.The Solution: Ingenion's cymactive catheter is a 30-day, self-voiding device with no external bag, restoring patient dignity and designed to reduce infection risk.Market Validation: The NHS created a new framework channel specifically for SimActive, signaling strong support for its innovation and cost-saving potential.The Ask: Ingenion is raising £2M (for ~10% equity) to fund commercialisation, targeting a future trade sale to a major urology firm for a potential 10x investor return.The Problem with Current CathetersUrinary Retention: A common condition caused by issues like BPH (enlarged prostate), Parkinson's, MS, and spinal cord injuries.Foley Catheter (Indwelling):The 100-year-old standard, anchored by an internal balloon.Creates a "superhighway for bacteria," causing frequent, costly infections.Full cost of ownership for the NHS is ~£800/month per patient.Intermittent Catheters (Single-Use):Used 5–8 times daily, creating significant waste and inconvenience.Account for 90% (£157.5M) of the NHS's £175M annual catheter spend.Patient Impact:Fear of infection and public voiding → social isolation.Reduced fluid intake → dehydration, which can worsen conditions like dementia.The cymactive SolutionInnovation: A 30-day, self-voiding catheter with no external tubes or bags.Mechanism:An internal, patient-controlled magnetic valve.An external magnet opens the valve; removing it allows the valve to close naturally.Infection Defense:The urethra seals over the valve's end, mimicking the body's natural defense against bacteria.Anecdotal evidence suggests reduced infections and restored function.Product Pipeline:Current: cymactive for male urinary retention (CE marked).In Development: Versions for women and for male incontinence.Market Validation & CommercialisationNHS Adoption:The NHS created a new framework channel for cymactive, as it didn't fit existing categories.Ingenion was the sole applicant and signed a 2-year contract on March 12, 2026.Ordering codes are now live for hospitals.Go-to-Market Strategy:Goal: Build awareness among clinicians and patient groups.Method: Target early adopters and use their case studies, shared by the NHS innovation team, to drive broader adoption.Rationale: A randomised control trial was unfeasible because Foley catheter users were unwilling to risk being randomised to the control group.Investment OpportunityThe Ask: £2M for ~10% equity (pre-money valuation: £18M).Exit Strategy: Trade sale to a major urology firm (e.g., Coloplast, Becton Dickinson).Rationale: Leverage a large firm's infrastructure for rapid, global scaling.Target Return: A typical venture capital return of ~10x investment.Investor Profile: High Net Worth (HNW) or Sophisticated Investors.Due Diligence: Pitch deck available at ingenion.approvedinvestors.co.ukThe Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Most business owners don't realize they're building an exit they can't afford. On this episode of The Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, host Seth Greene sits down with Marc Adams, founder of Acquisitions4U, who shares a deeply personal story that transformed his approach to private equity and business growth.  After being diagnosed with stage four cancer during the pandemic and told he had just six months to live, Marc was confronted with a life changing question from his 10-year-old son about what happens to business owners who never get to sell. That moment became the catalyst for the Double and Keep It Framework, designed to help founders of sub-$50 million companies dramatically increase enterprise value. Without giving up equity or taking on burdensome debt, Marc shows entrepreneurs how to exit with significantly more capital. This episode is a masterclass on purpose driven capital, smarter exits, and rethinking how founders truly monetize what they have built.  Key Takeaways: →   Nine out of ten privately held businesses never achieve the valuation owners expect or fail to sell at all. This is often due to poor exit planning and fee erosion.  →   A business generating $750K in EBITDA may only command 1–2x multiples, but when aggregated into a larger $5M+ EBITDA group, valuation multiples can expand dramatically.  →   Waiting until you're “ready to retire” often means discovering too late that taxes, fees, and valuation discounts can erode 30–50% of the sale proceeds.  →   No Equity Dilution, No Debt Servicing  →   Pivoting from traditional private equity to founder-focused value creation was fueled by personal adversity and a commitment to helping families secure financial futures.  Marc Adams is a strategy mentor and business-exit planner who helps founder-led companies double enterprise value in 12–24 months and structure tax-efficient exits—without heavy dilution or personal guarantees. He's helped take a company from roughly $140M to a $1B valuation and led a loss-making $18M-revenue business to a $140M exit. A bestselling author with Times Square features, Marc works closely with family offices and private capital, giving founders a practical, buyer-aligned playbook for value creation, clean diligence, and better after-tax outcomes.  Connect With Marc: Website:  https://acquisitions4you.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadams/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Guinness Enterprise Centre is a non-profit organisation, founded in 2000 by Diageo, Furthr (formerly Dublin BIC), Dublin City Council, Enterprise Ireland, Local Enterprise Office Dublin City and the Guinness Workers Enterprise Fund. Once a warehouse attached to the famous Guinness brewery in Dublin's Liberties, the Guinness Enterprise Centre now encompasses a five-storey campus, hosting 160 start-ups who benefit from a vibrant ecosystem that provides access to investors, mentors, events and scaling programmes. The organisation reinvests all revenues into this ecosystem and its facility. In doing so, it has supported start-ups like video game development studio, Black Shamrock, which now employs almost 140 on site at Guinness Enterprise Centre. Other success stories include Astatine, which last year signed an €800M partnership with Aviva Investors to develop a renewables platform, and Circle Internet Group, a Goldman Sachs-backed payments technology company. Revenues at the Guinness Enterprise Centre reached almost €2.56M last year. The non-profit expects to exceed €3M in revenues in 2026 and by 2030, it expects to reach annual revenues of €4M. Over the next five years, the Guinness Enterprise Centre expects to reinvest €18M in revenues in its campus. Income is primarily generated through office and co-working space fees, which are kept below market rates to reduce barriers to entry for start-ups. Additional income is generated through conference and event space rentals, further supporting the Guinness Enterprise Centre's mission to support early-stage companies. Niamh Collins, Centre Director, Guinness Enterprise Centre, said: "Since the beginning, every euro we have generated has been reinvested back into our ecosystem. When a company pays rent here, they're not just securing desk space; they're funding the mentor network, the investor connections, and the programmes that will benefit them, along with future generations of entrepreneurs walking through our doors. This has a compounding impact and underlines why our non-profit status is so important to Ireland's start-up ecosystem. By tying our own success to the success of our start-ups, we breed more success." David Varian, Chairperson, Guinness Enterprise Centre, said: "Few European start-up campuses can point to a comparable level of long-term, self-financed reinvestment, and that distinction matters enormously in an era where entrepreneurial infrastructure is increasingly commercialised or state-dependent. What we have built is genuinely rare: a self-sustaining model that has weathered multiple economic cycles – the dot-com crash, the financial crisis, Brexit, a pandemic – while never wavering from our core mission. "Twenty-five years ago, Ireland had little formal start-up infrastructure and entrepreneurs often had to look abroad for resources and credibility. Today, Ireland is exporting start-ups globally, and the Guinness Enterprise Centre has been instrumental in that transformation." See more stories here.

The 2026 season is a "prove it" year for the Carolina Panthers' roster construction. We're breaking down the five players facing the most heat this fall. First, we look at Xavier Legette, the former first-rounder who needs to prove he's more than just a depth piece behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Then there's the highly anticipated (and nervous) return of Jonathon Brooks—after two ACL tears in two years, can he finally become the RB1 we traded up for?On the defensive side, all eyes are on Tershawn "Turk" Wharton to justify his massive $45M contract and $18M cap hit. We also dive into Trevin Wallace's transition as the "green dot" leader of the defense and whether Tommy Tremble can hold off a rising tight end room to secure his long-term future in Charlotte. It's a year of zero excuses in the 704.

Why Most Founders Lose 50% When Selling Their Business | Exit Strategy with Marc Adams

How can founders increase the value of their business before selling—and keep more of the proceeds after the exit? In this episode of the Grow & Learn Podcast by Grownlearn, host Zorina Dimitrova speaks with Marc Adams, strategy mentor and founder of Acquisitions4You, about how entrepreneurs can increase company valuation and prepare for a smarter, more tax-efficient exit. Marc works with founders, investors, and family offices to help businesses grow enterprise value within 12–24 months, often without giving up equity or signing personal guarantees. His approach focuses on strategic acquisitions, consolidation of fragmented markets, and positioning businesses for higher valuation multiples before a sale. Marc shares insights from his “Double & Keep It” framework, which helps business owners grow valuation while avoiding the common trap where founders lose 30–50% of their sale proceeds through taxes, fees, and poorly structured deals. In this conversation we discuss: • Why most business owners are not prepared to sell their company • How acquisitions can dramatically increase enterprise value • How founders can structure tax-efficient exits • Why exit planning should begin years before selling • How family office capital can support strategic growth Marc also shares how a life-changing stage-4 cancer diagnosis during COVID reshaped his perspective on risk, legacy, and helping founders protect the value they build. If you are a founder, entrepreneur, investor, or business owner considering scaling or eventually exiting your company, this episode offers practical insights on business valuation, strategic acquisitions, and exit preparation. ________________________________________

Most business owners don't realize they're building an exit they can't afford. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Marc Adams, Strategy Mentor & Business Exit Planner at Acquisitions4You, who shares how his work has helped provide $22B in funding support and why he now focuses on helping founders double business value in 12 months or less. After a stage-four cancer diagnosis during the pandemic and a life-changing conversation with his son, Marc pivoted his mission toward helping the “nine out of ten” owners who never get the outcome they need. He explains the Double and Keep It framework, designed to grow value fast while protecting owners from the usual traps of dilution, debt burdens, and painful exit costs. Key Takeaways:→ Most business owners don't get the value they expect when it's time to sell.→ Exit-math can be brutal, especially in states with high taxes. → Traditional private equity doesn't solve the real problem. → The “double and keep it” framework aims to achieve value growth without dilution or debt service. → This framework is meant to create a real retirement-grade exit. Marc Adams is a strategy mentor and business-exit planner who helps founder-led companies double enterprise value in 12–24 months and structure tax-efficient exits without heavy dilution or personal guarantees. He's helped take a company from roughly $140M to a $1B valuation and led a loss-making $18M-revenue business to a $140M exit. A bestselling author with Times Square features, Marc works closely with family offices and private capital, providing founders with a practical, buyer-aligned playbook for value creation, clean diligence, and better after-tax outcomes.
