Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Bean, a pseudonymous defense industry expert, to explore the intellectual crossovers between military and civilian domains. The conversation reveals how the defense industry's fundamental constraint of having only one customer (a monopsony) creates entirely different incentives than tech, leading to conservatism and 30-50 year product lifecycles. Bean argues that drones are largely modern iterations of cruise missiles we've had since the 1950s, and explains why current anti-drone defenses make swarm attacks less threatening than headlines suggest.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/defense-with-bean-of-naval-gazing/–Sponsor:This episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

If you want to run a consulting business that feels lighter and more in your control, you need to start thinking like a million-dollar business owner, before your business is anywhere near that level.This is part two of my series on the Million Dollar Mindset. In part one (Episode 231), we covered the first two pillars of the million dollar consultant's mindset. Today, we finish the two-part series with the remaining four ways of thinking that separate a $200K consultant from one who can confidently generate and sustain a $1M consulting business.These aren't abstract concepts. You'll hear how to approach demand creation, pricing, IP development, and resilience in a way that keeps you utilized with fulfilling work, your fees aligned to value, and your confidence intact, even when the business throws you curveballs.What you will learn in this episode:[12:15] Demand ownership – taking full responsibility for lead flow instead of waiting.[18:44] Value-centric pricing – anchoring fees to the client's outcomes, not your hours.[24:58] Asset thinking – turning your expertise into repeatable frameworks, tools, and systems that build leverage.[29:45] Growth resilience – moving forward despite fear, rejection, or uncertainty.By the end, you'll know exactly which of the six pillars (from Episodes 231 and 232) needs your attention next, and how to start shifting into a million-dollar mindset today.Tune in to Episode 232 to hear the final four (of six) pillars of the $1M Independent Consultant Mindset and learn how to leverage this mindset to accelerate your consulting revenue growth and hit your business goals.Related ResourcesFull Show Notes: https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-232/Join the waitlist for Melisa's Business Brain Journal, https://www.melisaliberman.com/growth-atlas-products Related Podcast Episode: Episode 231 – The Million Dollar Mindset for Independent Consultants (Part 1), https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-231/ Work with Melisa: Apply for a Coaching Exploratory call at https://www.consultmelisa.com   Want More?Get Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/bookVisit with Melisa's Website: www.melisaliberman.com Follow on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/melisa-liberman Get Notified When Melisa's Products Launch: https://www.melisaliberman.com/growth-atlas-products Want help achieving your consulting business goals?

This week on Complex Systems, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Joel Becker from METR. They discuss groundbreaking research on AI coding assistants.Joel et al's randomized controlled trial of 16 expert developers working on major open source projects revealed a counterintuitive finding: despite predictions of 24-40% speed improvements, developers actually took 19% longer to complete tasks when using AI tools, even though they retrospectively believed they were 20% faster. The conversation explores why even sophisticated professionals struggle to accurately assess their own productivity with AI tools, the industrial organization of software development, and the implications for AI's recursive self-improvement in research and development. It also touches on other perspectives from software developers using these tools professionally, and where we can expect them to improve rapidly.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/the-great-developer-speed-up-with-joel-becker/–Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Dave started out in financial planning, made a million-dollar bet on himself in 2008 (yes, the worst time possible), and came out swinging by diversifying into land investing, lending, and running high-level masterminds for experienced land investors.What I love about Dave is that he's the real deal. He's not just doing small desert square deals. He's buying for $100K and selling for $200K. He's gone deep on pricing, tested everything from blind offers to neutral letters, and built an entire system that's scalable and optimized. And yet, he's humble enough to share how he got started, what tools he uses, and how a beginner can break into the business and scale to $10K per month in passive income.We also break down some of the tools and tactics Dave's using right now, including how he's managing 400+ seller finance notes and where he's seeing the most success marketing land. Whether you're just getting started or you're looking to scale a land business to seven figures, you'll get a ton of insights in this one.What's Inside:—How Dave scaled from zero to 250 land deals a year and over $3 million in revenue—The tools and systems he uses for pricing, marketing, and lead generation—Why blind offers still work and how Dave's team prices thousands of them—The most underrated places in the U.S. to find profitable land deals—A breakdown of Dave's team structure, from VAs to lead and pricing managers—Why the land investing model is still wide open for those willing to do the work

Ann Pells shows aspiring entrepreneurs how to acquire already profitable, professionally managed small businesses that can net $10K/month—while requiring only about an hour a week to oversee. Drawing on her own journey from financial crisis to portfolio business owner, Ann explains how to find, fund, and operate recession-resistant companies without becoming a full-time operator yourself. On this episode we cover: From pink slip to passive ownershipYears ago, Ann's family was blindsided when her husband was laid off—their only income source at the time. With three young kids, she vowed never to rely on one job again. After trying time-intensive real estate investing, she realized she needed teams and systems to create income without 60–80 hour work weeks. The turning pointFive years ago, she discovered a funding and management team (via a 5‑minute YouTube video) that helped her pay off her house in five years and access $200K for business acquisitions. That same team now helps her—and her clients—find, vet, fund, and manage those businesses. First acquisition Type: Water delivery service (home essentials niche) Structure: Partnered with ~10 existing investors, stepped into a deal mid-process with management team in place. Why that industry: Recession-resistant necessity (like plumbing, HVAC, medical, funeral homes, etc.). Deal sourcing Common public marketplaces: BizBuySell, Website Closers, etc. Ann's management team does the research, shortlists candidates that match her criteria, and later operates the business post-close. Location can be local or remote if a strong manager is in place. Buyer criteria Target: ~25% profit margin Industries with steady demand regardless of economy. Prefer businesses already running well—opportunities to add tech or optimization for increased value at resale. Always buy with an exit strategy in mind (3–5 year horizon), even if planning to hold long term. Financing approaches Revenue-based financing: Loans underwritten on the target business's financials, not the buyer's personal credit. Seller financing where possible. Partnering to share risk and split profits. Her current portfolio 4 operating businesses Purchasing 2 more now Leverages same management/funding network for all deals Practical Advice for Aspiring Acquirers: Think recession resistance: Focus on “needs” industries like home services, healthcare, essentials. Use other people's expertise: Partner with existing managers and acquisition pros—don't try to play every role. Let the numbers guide you: Profit margin, stable cash flow, and solid P&L history matter more than “charm” or trendiness. Ask “How can I?” not “Can I?” — Shifts your brain into solution-finding mode. Top 3 Takeaways: Buying beats building: Acquire something already working with cash flow and processes in place. Partnering & management = leverage: You don't need to personally operate the business to benefit from it. Funding is out there: Revenue-based and seller financing can drastically reduce or eliminate upfront out-of-pocket costs. Notable Quotes: “Instead of telling ourselves we can't, ask: How can I?” “We don't buy to give ourselves another job—we buy with management teams in place so it's hours a week, not hours a day.” “Recession-resistant means: people need it whether the economy booms or busts.” Connect with Ann Pells: Website: lifegiverlegacy.com

Operations can be your greatest growth asset or your biggest roadblock. In this episode, we return to Riley and Jean to see how their very different approaches to running their consulting businesses are playing out. One is stuck in complexity and constant firefighting. The other is building something that runs smoothly, even when they step away. We will explore what makes operations truly scalable and why it matters so much once you start to grow.

Time-starved. That was me.Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter.All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour.If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.)I was constantly in motion. But never quite getting anywhere. Stuck at the same weight, run splits, drinks per week, business earnings, etc.And honestly, starting to look like a shipwrecked castaway because I couldn't even find the time to get a haircut

Ever had an experience where someone made assumptions about your ability to buy before you even had the chance to speak? I recently walked into a high-end car dealership, dressed in designer clothes and driving a luxury vehicle, only to be met with repeated passive-aggressive questions about my budget. Despite showing clear signs of being a serious buyer, the salesperson's assumptions shut down the potential for any real connection.   This situation highlights a critical mistake many coaches make in their businesses. The key to success in sales is simple: treat every potential client with the same level of respect and always deliver your best process, no matter your assumptions. In this episode, I'll share why showing up with integrity in every sales conversation, regardless of the prospect's situation, will transform both your income and your impact.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.
