Real estate investing won't make you rich overnight. But keep at it for long enough, and it will make you very wealthy. Philip Henry had been doing all the right things: buying a rental property every year, renovating it, raising rent, and then rolling his home equity into the next deal. Yet after nearly 15 years, he had very little to show for it, and the stress and workload were beginning to take a toll on his health and relationships. Right when others would have given up, the real estate deal of a lifetime landed right in Philip's lap—a seven-figure, 31-unit rental property that would change his family's future. Now, Philip is financially free, has quit his W-2 job, and is building generational wealth with rental properties. How did he do it? Today, he's pulling back the curtain on the deal that changed everything and the strategies behind it: seller financing, other people's money, and perhaps most importantly, the patience and persistence needed to win in real estate. In This Episode We Cover How Philip scaled from a $200,000 duplex to a $20,000,000 portfolio Replacing his six-figure salary with rental property income Taking down a $1,200,000 real estate deal without any of his own money How to use creative financing to bring zero to the closing table The secret to avoiding burnout on the road to financial freedom Why you should pitch seller financing on every real estate deal And So Much More!

How to charge as a consultant is the question every new federal contracting advisor asks, and in this bootcamp session Zach Golden breaks down the retainer plus success fee model he uses to get paid on wins. He walks through when he switches to hourly because industry margins are too thin, how he takes a percentage of gross on a $200K proposal even when he only brings the opportunity, and why his cut moves from 10% to 5% on the same client depending on how involved he is. He also covers coordinating a Department of Energy lab kickoff, setting up invoicing and payroll, and using tools like govwin.IQ so a one-person consultant can run like a full BD team. If you want to turn GovCon knowledge into a paid consulting practice, this is the pricing playbook.

If you're doing six figures a year — maybe $100K, maybe $300K — and you feel like you've hit a wall... I need you to hear this: working harder is not going to get you to a million dollars. In fact, it's probably the exact thing keeping you stuck. I've coached hundreds of entrepreneurs through this exact ceiling, and every single time, it comes down to the same three things. Today I'm giving you all three — the exact shifts that take someone from grinding at $200K to running a part-time million-dollar business. Let's get into it. Chapters 00:00 Introduction: Why working harder won't scale your business01:39 The mindset shift: Becoming a different person02:38 Why dilution is the main obstacle to growth05:01 The three major shifts to scale from 300K to 1M05:30 Shift 1: Going premium and high-ticket07:02 Repackaging your offer into a high-value premium package08:01 The psychology of pricing and attracting premium clients09:19 Join the 10K Offer Challenge to create a high-ticket offer10:43 Focusing on the true value and transformation14:34 Shift 2: Precision in messaging and targeting15:32 Niche down: Speak to one person with one problem17:28 The importance of clarity on who you serve20:02 The power of focused marketing and content strategy22:27 Shift 3: Prioritization and doing less better23:52 The 80-20 rule: Focus on what moves the needle25:42 Choosing one platform for maximum client acquisition27:19 The importance of identifying what is working28:45 Simple, focused strategies for sustainable growth29:46 Recap: Go premium, be precise, prioritize31:21 Final thoughts: The power of focus and simplicity

I just coached someone to $3.2 million in a launch. Now, I've never personally made $3.2 million in a single launch myself. But here's what changed everything for me: I don't have to have done what they're doing. I just have to know how to solve the problems they face. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the premium private client model-a revenue stream that's sitting in plain sight that most coaches miss because they haven't repositioned how they think about pricing. Over 17 years, I've built multiple revenue streams: courses (14,000 people through Conversion Story Formula), group coaching, masterminds, and advisory boards. But premium private clients sit at the tip of the spear. I've made $300K-$600K per year from premium clients while only working with 15 total clients per year. Right now, two clients just signed this week for $62,000-that's for about 10 coaching sessions. Here's the shift: the price of your coaching isn't determined by your current audience. It's determined by who buys it. What you'll learn: → Price is determined by the person, not your current audience - Why context changes everything → Solve urgent, important problems - The "broken tooth" problem that demands premium pricing → Be a stallion whisperer - Why you don't have to have done it to coach someone through it → Why one-on-one coaching at premium rates isn't the same as a one-on-one coaching business → How to attract the right premium clients without changing what you teach → The structure of premium private client offers ($3K-$10K/month models) → Why scarcity in premium clients actually increases the value of everything else you offer Real insights from the episode: Why I charge $3,800/hour now when I used to charge $125/hour The manny example: same job, $40-55K for a regular family vs $150-200K for a high-net-worth family How executive families will pay premium rates for parenting coaching when the stakes involve billion-dollar deals Why Olympic coaches didn't all win gold medals themselves The difference between building a one-on-one coaching business vs adding premium private clients How 15 clients per year can generate $300K-$600K in revenue Why 3-4 month engagements work better than long-term coaching relationships The Kajabi feature that brought 14,000 people through Conversion Story Formula How premium pricing affects perception and scarcity of all your other offerings Premium Private Client Masterclass: I'm hosting a live masterclass on building premium private clients-everything from positioning and messaging to structuring your offers and attracting the right clients.

Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways.

Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year.

Benmont Locker scaled his real estate operations to $250,000 a month in ad spend, but he didn't start there. In this episode the founder of RAMP, a sales-team training community for real estate investors, breaks down exactly how he ramped up with confidence, and why that confidence comes from data and a sales team he trusts, not from having a pile of cash.Ben is a quote machine here ("morale comes from profit," "hope is a terrible investor drug"), but the substance runs deep. He and David cover the marketing feedback loop built on qualified leads, the 0-to-90-day break-even framework, why he implements Profit First and a CFO 90 days into every new entity, and how tracking profit by product line exposed a low-margin line he'd have otherwise scaled blindly. If you want to make money fast in real estate and actually keep it, don't miss this one.Timeline Summary[2:54] – The RAMP hat and how Ben scaled to around $200K a month in marketing[3:15] – Why confidence to spend comes from data and discernment, not just having cash[4:16] – Making marketing own qualified leads, not gross leads, to shorten the feedback loop[5:42] – Whether he was born with a head for numbers or learned it through trial and error[6:56] – How tracking data across supplements, alcohol, and spine implants all became the same game[7:21] – Why data was what let a non-authoritative personality hold people accountable[8:32] – The unwritten rule: profit and revenue always in first position[9:05] – The Titanic analogy for over-process without revenue[10:11] – Why "morale comes from profit" and culture isn't pizza parties[11:42] – His simple marketing ROI test and the 0-to-90-day break-even framework[13:14] – Why he targets a 3-to-1 return rather than chasing a high-ROI, low-scale channel[13:52] – The disclaimer: never wait 90 days for leads, since response comes within 24 hours[16:11] – How to ramp up the right way by focusing on revenue, not just leads[17:56] – When to bring on a CFO: "when your ego gets out of the way"[19:11] – Why he called David just 90 days into a new entity for help[20:40] – Why the CFO meeting is one of his favorite meetings of the week[21:09] – The call where his team told him he had too much liquidity and to take a distribution[23:01] – His nuanced take on reserves by growth phase, product line, and owner[26:20] – How profit by product line revealed the low-margin travel work[27:02] – The 50% top-line growth that only produced 10% net profit growth[30:33] – The two transformations: revenue on office TVs and a dedicated finance meeting cadence[31:35] – The $600K cash swing that reframed his hard-money funding strategy[34:42] – His core advice: fill your day with direct revenue-producing activities5 Key TakeawaysConfidence Comes From Data — Spending $250K a month on marketing isn't about having cash, it's about trusting the data and a sales team that converts. Shorten the feedback loop to qualified leads and you can reinvest with confidence.Break Even In 90 Days, Then Scale — Commit three months of budget with the goal of breaking even, not just getting leads. Aim for a 3-to-1 return by months four to six, which scales better than a high-ROI, low-volume channel.Morale Comes From Profit — Culture isn't pizza parties. Profit provides team stability, cash reserves, and momentum, and a business with no profit is a dangerous place to lead everyone into.Bring In A CFO Early, After Revenue — Ben implements Profit First and a CFO about 90 days into every new entity, once revenue is flowing. Squeaky-clean books with no leads is no place for an investor to sit.Track Profit By Product Line — Growing top-line revenue 50% while net profit grew only 10% is a warning, not a win. Profit by product line revealed a low-margin line he'd have scaled blindly without the data.Links & ResourcesRAMP — https://www.ramprei.comSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing Free Workbooks — https://pfreiworkbook.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter — https://profitfirstrei.comThe Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham — https://www.keystothevault.comEnjoyed This Episode?If Ben's line that "hope is a terrible investor drug" made you rethink how you measure your marketing, that's the mindset shift worth acting on.

What if building a $100K photography business could actually be fun and easy? In this episode, Heather sits down with Jessica Wasik, owner of Bark and Gold Photography, founding member of Elevate, and now a head coach inside the program. Jess has built a photography business generating around $200,000 per year, but there was no magic formula behind it. Instead, her success came from experimenting, meeting people, staying visible, investing in education, and refusing to make every obstacle mean something had gone wrong. Heather and Jess unpack the clues behind her success and why you don't need more clients, more stress, or more hours to build a profitable photography business.  You can check Jessica's incredible work here: https://barkandgoldphotography.com/  This episode is also a powerful example of what makes Elevate different. Jess didn't simply learn from Heather; she became part of the community, grew her own business, and now helps other photographers do the same as a head coach. Being surrounded by photographers who are actively creating the results you want gives you something incredibly valuable: evidence that it's possible. Key Takeaways: Success leaves clues. Instead of searching for one magic formula, study how successful photographers think, act, experiment, and respond when things don't work. Experimentation is a powerful marketing strategy. Jess is constantly testing new ideas rather than waiting for someone to tell her exactly what will work. Not every experiment needs to succeed. If something doesn't work, you can simply let it fade away and try something else. Meet people instead of waiting to be discovered. Jess recognizes that if people don't know she exists, they can't book her. Being an introvert doesn't mean you can't market yourself. You don't need to become an outgoing, extroverted salesperson. You can simply connect with people in a way that feels authentic to you. Stop worrying about things your clients aren't worried about. Photographers can spend enormous amounts of energy analyzing things that their clients don't even notice or care about. Learn to turn down the volume on your thoughts. Jess's "overthinkatorium" is a great reminder that you don't have to listen to every thought your brain produces. Look outside your industry for inspiration. Other businesses can provide fresh ideas when everyone in your own industry seems to be doing the same thing. Education can have a tremendous return. Investing in learning can give you skills, ideas, confidence, and strategies that continue paying off long after the initial investment. Don't chase every shiny object. Take what is useful from education and leave what doesn't fit your business or personality. You don't need more clients to reach six figures. You may simply need fewer, more aligned clients who are willing to invest more. You don't have to work yourself into the ground. Profitability and quality of life can coexist. Put yourself in proximity to people creating the results you want. Seeing other photographers succeed can provide evidence that your own goals are possible. Make business fun instead of miserable. There will always be challenges, but you don't have to build a business you hate running. What if six figures doesn't require more clients, more hours, or more stress? What if the photographers already doing it could show you exactly what you're missing? Jess's story proves that success can be built through experiments, education, visibility, and a willingness to keep going. Press play and discover the clues behind a $200K photography business, and what you can start doing differently today.

I went from $500 to $35,000 on Etsy in one year. Naturally, I thought six figures was next.It wasn't.Instead, I spent the next two years working harder than I ever had, publishing more listings, reworking products, giving up nights and weekends, and watching my revenue crawl from about And eventually, I started wondering if maybe this was just how big my shop could get.In this episode, I'm taking you back into those two years, because I can see something now that I absolutely could not see while I was living it. I realized the keywords I was building my shop around could only add up to so much traffic and revenue. I was trying to work harder inside a strategy that literally could not carry me to the number I wanted.When I finally changed that, I hit my first $100K year. Then my first $200K year.If your Etsy revenue has been sitting around the same number for longer than you want to admit, I really want you to hear this one.What my Etsy business looked like when I went from $500 to $35KWhy I assumed $100K would naturally come nextWhat two years of barely growing actually looked and felt likeWhy working more hours and publishing more listings didn't solve the problemHow you can rank well for keywords and still have a strategy that limits your revenueWhat I finally realized about the searches I was targetingWhy your current revenue might be a limit in your strategy, not a limit on your shopWhat changed before I went on to hit $100K and then $200K on EtsyFree class: Create $5K Months on Etsy With Part-Time Hours - https://sarahjwaggoner.com/freeclassWork with Me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggonerFollow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SarahJWaggonerWhat You'll LearnMentioned in This EpisodeYour Next Steps:

I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out.

By asking seven deeper questions, Priya uncovered what was missing and rebuilt the story without inventing or embellishing anything.In this episode, you'll learn:→ How to diagnose where your interview process is actually breaking→ Why getting interviews means your resume is already doing its job→ What changes when you're interviewing for $200K+ roles→ Why executive presence can't be demonstrated through another credential→ The seven questions that strengthen your interview stories→ Why stakes and measurable results matter→ How to balance “we” with what you specifically did→ Why influence and judgment need to be visible in your stories→ How Samira turned the same experience into a $250K offerThe key shift? You don't necessarily need more experience. You may need better language for the experience you already have.

Aaron started Vestwell in 2016. Two years in, he had $500K in ARR and an investor asking if it would ever make money. During the 2021 bull market, VCs told him 401ks were too boring—they were busy chasing crypto. Then Morgan Stanley signed. Today Vestwell has 2.5 million people saving on the platform, over $200M in ARR, and just raised $385M at a $2B valuation.In this episode, Aaron breaks down why he white-labeled everything instead of building his own brand, how losing the JP Morgan bid as a 40-person startup still turned into one of his largest partnerships, and how a methodical cap table let him raise a Series A on a couple hundred thousand in revenue.Why You Should ListenWhy letting your customers keep their brand beats competing with them.How to raise a Series A with only a few hundred thousand in ARR.Why losing an enterprise deal is the start of the sale, not the end.Why you never regret firing someone too soon.Keywords startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, finding pmf, Vestwell, Aaron Schumm, fintech, 401k, retirement savings, enterprise sales, channel partnerships, white label software, Series A fundraising, Morgan StanleyChapters00:00:00 Intro00:02:05 The Morgan Stanley Deal That Proved PMF00:08:32 A 401k So Bad It Started a Company00:10:23 Building V1 in a Regulated Industry00:17:07 Turning Advisors Into a Sales Channel00:23:57 Raising an A on $200K of Revenue00:31:16 Too Boring for the Crypto Bull Market00:38:45 Losing JP Morgan, Then Winning It Back00:43:23 Never Regret Firing Too SoonSend me a message to let me know what you think!

At 18, this week’s Money Diarist was approached at work by a man who told her she could make serious money at a club. Plot twist: it was a strip club.She went from earning almost nothing to making hundreds of dollars an hour, and at one point tracked nearly $200,000 in cash earnings over a relatively short period. The problem? She was spending almost as quickly as she could earn it. Then life changed completely. She left the industry, became a mum in her early twenties and went from being fiercely financially independent to relying almost entirely on her partner. When that relationship eventually ended, she realised she had no savings, barely any super, very little career history and, at one point, just $11 to her name.Now 32, remarried with three children, she’s rebuilt things very differently. She earns $120,000 across two jobs, has helped turn her husband’s sole trader business into a company, started her own business, bought land for their future home and completely overhauled the way they manage money. It’s chaotic, incredibly candid and a pretty fascinating look at what happens when you’ve experienced both extremes of money, from earning thousands in a night to having almost nothing of your own. And perhaps the biggest lesson? Making a lot of money and actually building financial security are two very different things.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Richter of Simple CFO opens this solo episode with a warning every flipper needs to hear: your rehab budget is probably lying to you unless you're tracking actual versus planned on every deal. He calls budget overruns the number one silent killer of fix-and-flip businesses, except it's not that silent, because it kills loudly when you're bleeding $10,000 a deal.This is a tactical walkthrough of how to set up your balance sheet to see exactly what you're all into a property at any moment. David breaks down the parent and sub-account structure for tracking purchase price, holding costs, and rehab, the "all-in" number that tells you when to worry, and a real story of an investor with 20 deals in his pipeline who nearly declared bankruptcy. If you flip houses, grab a pen.Timeline Summary[0:31] – Why your rehab budget is lying to you if you don't track actual versus planned[0:58] – Budget overruns as the number one silent killer, and how $5K to $10K a deal drains you fast[1:24] – Why you need to be able to pull your own money back out of the business[1:50] – Using the balance sheet, not just software, to see where you stand mid-project[2:13] – How an active flip sits on the balance sheet as a current asset until it sells[2:36] – Setting up an "other current assets" parent account with a sub-account per project[3:03] – The two or three sub-accounts every serious flipper should track[3:53] – A simple example: $100K purchase, $25K holding, $75K rehab equals $200K all-in[4:38] – What the all-in number tells you and why it matters for a fire sale[5:30] – Why the actual dollars hitting your bank beat any project management software[5:52] – How going $15K over, deal after deal, quietly takes you down[6:27] – The investor with 20 deals in his pipeline who nearly declared bankruptcy[7:13] – Checking your loan amount to know how much of your own money is trapped in a deal[7:46] – How having the numbers in front of you lets you make the decision that saves the business5 Key TakeawaysTrack Actual Versus Planned — A rehab budget you don't check against real spending is worthless. Overruns are the number one killer of flip businesses, and they compound fast at $5K to $10K a deal.Use Your Balance Sheet — An active flip lives on the balance sheet as a current asset until it sells. Set it up right and it tells you where you stand at any point in the project.Build The Right Account Structure — Under an "other current assets" parent, give each project its own account with sub-accounts for purchase price, holding costs, and rehab. That's how you see the truth.Know Your All-In Number — Adding purchase, holding, and rehab gives you what you're all into a property. That single number tells you your floor for a fire sale and how much of your own cash is at risk.The Numbers Save The Business — The investor with 20 deals nearly went bankrupt because his cash was trapped. Seeing your all-in and your loan amount lets you decide when you need a bridge loan or more funds before it's too late.Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter — https://profitfirstrei.comEnjoyed This Episode?If David's all-in number made you realize you don't actually know what you're into your current flips at, that's worth fixing before your next draw. Share this episode with a flipper who's always wondering where the cash went, and follow the show and leave a rating and review so more real estate investors can stop letting overruns quietly kill their deals.

Send us Fan MailBudget season starts the same way at most sports teams: pull last year's marketing number, add a few percent, move on. In Episode 181, Jeremy Neisser makes the case for building the marketing budget from the revenue goal backward instead — take your single game ticket revenue target, divide it by four, and start the conversation there. He breaks down why four to one is the right baseline (and what it's really paying for), cleans up the ROAS versus ROI confusion that costs teams real money, and argues that a budget that's performing should function as a floor rather than a ceiling. If you're being asked to grow ticket revenue 25% on a 5% budget increase, this is the episode to send to your GM.KEY TOPICS COVERED- A ten-second way to set your marketing budget: take your single game ticket revenue goal and divide it by four- Why four to one is the right planning baseline for direct marketing spend on single game tickets- Worked examples you can drop straight into a budget conversation: $200K goal starts at $50K, $400K at $100K, $1M at $250K- Why your advertising line is not your real marketing cost — salaries, CRM, email platform, creative tools and agency fees all sit behind that revenue- The difference between ROAS and ROI, and why using them interchangeably makes your marketing look better or worse than it is- How to spot the moment your revenue goal quietly turned into a 10-to-1 or 20-to-1 ask- Why rolling last year's budget forward with a small bump disconnects the number from the goal entirely- The difference between a maintenance goal and a growth goal, and why they require different budgets- What to do when marketing is outperforming midseason and asks for more money- Why a budget that's producing should be treated as a floor you can build on, not a ceiling you protect- The measurement and attribution work marketing has to do to earn the right to ask for more- Why the smaller budget is not automatically the better budgetTIMESTAMPS[00:00] – The question every team asks when offseason budget planning starts[01:42] – Why "here's your number" never answers what marketing is being asked to produce[02:12] – The 4-to-1 rule: $1 in ad spend should target $4 in single game ticket revenue[03:05] – Running the math backward on $200K, $400K and $1M revenue goals[04:08] – Why four to one is a planning baseline, not a law of marketing[05:00] – Your marketing budget isn't the full cost of marketing[06:28] – Why two to one shouldn't excite anybody, and what four to one buys you[07:24] – ROAS versus ROI, and why marketers mix the two up constantly[08:50] – What the four-to-one baseline is actually covering behind the scenes[09:45] – Applying it to a real team: a $500,000 single game ticket goal[11:07] – When a team genuinely can hit 20 to 1, and why that's the exception[12:31] – The $40K-to-$45K trap: rolling last year's budget forward[13:27] – Revenue goal up 25%, marketing budget up 5% — the math nobody says out loud[14:30] – Why "do more with the same money" stopped working in a crowded attention economy[15:51] – Maintenance goals versus growth goals are two different assignments[16:17] – Midseason: marketing is running six to one and asks for another $20K[18:06] – The biggest idea in the episode — treat the budget as a floor, not a ceiling[19:20] – Where diminishing returns actually start, and how to spot them[20:29] – Earning the right to ask: what marketing owes leadership in return[21:40] – Attribution is messy, and why that's not a reason to stop measuring[22:18] – Starting the budget conversation from the revenue target, then adjusting[23:44] – Why the smaller budget isn't automatically the better budget[25:10] – Coming next week: how to actually allocate the budget across the funnelCALL TO ACTIONIf this episode helps you frame your next budget conversation, share it with someone in your office — a colleague, your GM, or whoever is holding the marketing number this year. Next week's episode picks up where this one ends: where that money should actually go, and a scorecard for how your allocation stacks up.QUOTE PULLS"Four to one isn't the ceiling. It's the hurdle." — Jeremy Neisser"Your marketing budget shouldn't be an expense you're trying to control.

Trieu became a dentist because he liked working with his hands and helping people - he got into UCSF's dental school as the very last student accepted, number 81 in a class of 81. Then the job started breaking his body. Aching neck, aching back, and mentors around him retiring early from surgeries. So he tinkered with some prisms until he could sit up straight and see like he was looking through a microscope, filed a patent, and built Hero Loops - ergonomic loupes that do the job of a $20,000 wall-mounted unit. He launched it one month before the pandemic hit. He still practises dentistry full time while running the whole thing. In this episode, Trieu gets honest about the brutal timing of launching right before Covid, the years it took to crack marketing after nailing the product, and how he thinks about building - including a psychology framework he borrowed straight from dentistry. What you'll learn in this interview: The origin story: how his own neck and back pain, plus watching colleagues retire early from surgery, drove him to prototype an alternative to the bulky $20K microscopes on the market Why he left dentistry income on the table for product income - and the scaling logic behind it: a product has quality control and consistency, while a dental chair only makes money when you're in it The painful timing lesson: launching one month before the pandemic, doing $20K in the first month, then watching competitors use the downtime to copy his product - and why he still says launch before it's perfect The plateau most founders hit: stuck at $5-6K a month with a great product because "you can be the best dentist, but if nobody knows about you, they won't come" The single change that broke the plateau: a new website and platform that did $50K in its first month How defining what "success" actually looks like - and watching that target keep moving from $50K to $100K to $200K - helped him appreciate the milestones instead of always chasing the next one The core ads skill that drove the growth: learning when to turn ads off, when to turn them on, and when to increase budget - and building the confidence to do it The "five Ps" framework he uses to judge whether a product will sell - pain, profit, prestige, preservation, and pleasure - and how Hero Loops hits several at once Why static ads outperform video for his analytical, detail-oriented audience - and how live customer-reaction reels hook attention at the top of the funnel What's next: bringing manufacturing in-house for faster delivery and expanding worldwide beyond the US - and the licensing and distribution hurdles that come with it If you're a professional with deep expertise in a field, sitting on a product idea but unsure whether you can build something outside your day job - this episode is for you. Trieu's story is a grounded reminder that the product is only half the battle: learning to market it is the skill that actually compounds, and you don't have to quit everything to start.

If you look calm on the outside but your mind won't stop running the same loop at 3am, this episode is for you. Host Avik talks with Liz Coleman, a certified transformational life coach with a degree in psychology, about the quiet beliefs that keep high-functioning people stuck long after the surface problems get "handled." Key Takeaways: Overthinking usually isn't about your schedule. It's the quiet "I have to" stories running in the background that make everything feel heavier than it is. Try flipping the script from "I have to" to "I get to." That one shift can lighten a task without changing anything about it. Healing works best when mind and body move together. Add movement, breathing, or a short walk alongside any mindset work you're already doing. When stress hits in the moment, try the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method: five things you see, four you hear, three you touch, two you smell, one you taste. Learning to tell your own intuition apart from an old childhood belief starts with asking where a "rule" you're following actually came from. Setbacks are part of the journey, not proof you're broken. Look back at how far you've come, then return to whatever practice was already working.

What if rebuilding your life didn't require grit and willpower, but something as simple as a smile? Host Ria talks with Holly Fair, a Tony Robbins-trained transformation coach and founder of Fire Up Life, about reclaiming identity after childhood abuse, divorce, infertility, and profound loss. Holly lost 150 pounds and wore an actual crown every day for two years as a daily practice in becoming who she wanted to be. This conversation moves past the perfectionism that keeps so many people stuck, and into something gentler: joy as the doorway to lasting change. Holly shares the moment she stood on stage in front of 5,000 people and chose a new identity for herself, and what that choice has meant every day since. About the Guest: Holly Fair is a Tony Robbins trainer, certified life coach, and founder of Fire Up Life. She lost 150 pounds and wore a crown every day for two years as part of reclaiming her identity after surviving childhood abuse, divorce, infertility, and profound loss. She now coaches women through midlife transitions, helping them reconnect with their authentic selves. Key Takeaways: Perfectionism is often the real block to change, not lack of willpower. Give yourself permission to wobble the way you would learning any new skill. Try Holly's "smile through hard things" practice. Smiling doesn't erase a hard moment, but it changes how you move through it. If you're rebuilding your identity, take an honest inventory of what you love about yourself, including the parts you've been told are "too much." Choosing a new identity doesn't require a grand gesture. Small, consistent acts of showing up for yourself compound into real transformation. You don't have to wait until you've healed, lost the weight, or fixed the thing to start treating yourself like the person you're becoming. Start today, with something small.

Andreas Almgren just won European gold by lapping half the field—and six days later, he announced he's stepping up to 26.2 miles for the first time.In this episode, recorded mid-marathon-buildup with the aches to prove it, Almgren breaks down the decision to make his marathon debut at the TCS New York City Marathon on November 1, and why he chose the toughest, slowest Major Marathon over a flat time-trial course like Valencia. He explains the front-running gamble that produced his historic 27:23.44 in the 10,000m in Birmingham—a 3:17 opening kilometer that forced him to take the race into his own hands from the third lap—and what it actually feels like to lap the field and win a championship by 19 seconds. Almgren gets into the mechanics of the buildup itself: mileage climbing toward 230K (142 miles) a week, fueling 120 grams of carbs an hour on long runs, testing new super-trainers versus carbon race shoes, and the durability work required to survive New York's bridges and hills. He also opens up on the "dark years" between 2016 and 2020, the 800m speed he's carrying into a marathon debut, and why he's not ruling out a 10,000m/marathon double at the 2028 Olympics. Plus, a shoutout to double-threshold godfather Marius Bakken, a very Swedish story about a track meet against Finland, and what it's like to become a national hero overnight. A wide-ranging, funny, and technical conversation with one of the most versatile distance runners in the world right now.Tap into the Andreas Almgren Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Are you actually worth what you're getting paid? It's a question most senior marketers never ask themselves honestly, and the answer is getting harder to dodge as the tools, the tactics, and the competition all shift beneath your feet. This episode opens with a provocation aimed squarely at the folks making $200K, $300K, $400K a year, and asks whether the experience behind that number is still current or quietly rotting on the shelf. What gets unpacked is the real pressure fractional CMOs are about to face from younger, faster competitors who have less experience but more agility, and why a broad resume is becoming a liability instead of an asset. The argument lands in an unexpected place: the path forward isn't learning more, it's learning less, better, and in a much tighter niche. Key Topics Covered: Why high-earning marketers may not be worth what they're paid Experience expiring: how quickly yesterday's wins lose relevance The Dunning-Kruger trap for marketers experimenting with AI tools Claude artifacts, custom GPTs, and what rapid AI change means for your practice The real competitive threat coming from younger, faster practitioners Why niching tightly is about becoming deadly accurate, not limiting your options Becoming the person clients fight over instead of the person they settle for Take the First Step Toward Growth with CMOx  Booking a call with our team is super easy, stress-free, and all about YOU.

Kim Hatch was at rock bottom. After seven grueling years working as a police officer in a domestic violence unit, she lost her job and found herself navigating a brutal divorce. She needed to completely reinvent her life—but she never expected that salvation would come in the form of a septic tank.With zero industry experience (admitting she "didn't even know where poop went") and a single $100,000 used truck, Kim launched Turner Septic Services. Her first job took her four hours and left her in tears. Today? Her team completes 18 jobs a day, pumps up to 400,000 gallons a month, and generates up to $200,000 a month in peak-season revenue.In this episode of the UpFlip Podcast, Kim sits down with Ryan Atkinson to share her unbelievable "zero-to-hero" story. She breaks down exactly how she disrupted a dinosaur industry by combining grueling hard work with modern technology—like outfitting her trucks with Starlink satellite internet and using heating mats to thaw frozen ground in -30 degree blizzards.If you want to know what it really takes to survive the school of hard knocks and build a highly profitable blue-collar business, this episode is a masterclass in resilience and innovation.

If you've ever said yes when you meant no, and then spent the rest of the day resenting it, this episode is for you. Host Somya sits down with Glen Alex, LCSW, author and boundaries educator, to unpack why healthy boundaries have nothing to do with being cold or selfish, and everything to do with keeping yourself safe. Glen breaks down the two most common boundary breakers she sees in her practice, oversharing and over-yessing, and walks through the difference between appropriate guilt and the kind that just keeps you stuck. If you're ready to stop apologizing for choosing yourself, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate place to start. About the Guest: Glen Alex is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and author who has spent years studying what it means to live with boundaries that support both connection and self-respect. She is the author of Living in Total Health and Living Boundaries, and offers complimentary consultations through her practice. Key Takeaways: Boundaries aren't walls built to keep people out. They're agreements you make with yourself about what you will and won't carry. Watch for the two most common boundary breakers: oversharing (giving people ammunition before trust is earned) and over-yessing (saying yes when the honest answer is no). Learn to tell appropriate guilt (your conscience flagging a real value you violated) apart from inappropriate guilt (a looping "I should" that has no corrective action attached). Start where the discomfort actually is. If anxiety or burnout is showing up, trace it back to the specific relationship or ask that needs a boundary. Slipping up doesn't mean you failed. The moment you notice, you step back in, no self-punishment required. A boundary only holds if your "why" is strong enough to outlast the pushback from people used to getting their way.

One of our clients was doing $20,000 to $30,000 a month on Meta ads, spending a few hundred dollars a day. She found a pocket that was working in Q4, pushed her spend to $2,000 a day, and closed that month north of $200,000.

Sometimes the feelings we cannot explain directly become easier to recognize when we meet them inside someone else's story. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Swati sits down with Nigerian American author and physician Nneka Oluoha to explore how fiction can create a safer reflective space for conversations around mental health, emotional struggle, family relationships and healing. Nneka shares how her upcoming novel, Live for Me, Nkem, explores depression, motherhood, marriage, cultural expectations and the struggles people can carry quietly behind closed doors. Rather than announcing everything a character is experiencing, she uses story, behavior and perspective to allow readers to gradually understand what is happening. The conversation explores why people sometimes remain silent when they are struggling, what happens when we recognize ourselves in fictional characters, and how stories can give us language for emotions we have never been able to describe. Nneka also speaks candidly about the emotional weight of writing difficult material. While writing from the perspectives of children affected by a parent's mental health struggles, she found some sections especially difficult. Her response was not to force the work, but to pace herself, walk, spend time in nature, lean on supportive relationships and sometimes put the manuscript away until she could return with greater clarity. Importantly, Nneka emphasizes that fiction is not a clinical textbook or a substitute for professional mental health support. Characters make mistakes, hold false beliefs and take actions that should not automatically be treated as real-world guidance. About Nneka Oluoha: Nneka Oluoha is a Nigerian American writer and physician. She completed medical school in Nigeria before moving to the United States, where she completed an internal medicine residency and now works as a hospitalist. Her writing is influenced by her Igbo heritage and an interest in family dynamics, identity, cultural expectations and the silent battles people carry. Her novel Live for Me, Nkem explores depression, marriage, motherhood, family expectations and hidden emotional struggles, and is scheduled for publication by Koehler Books on September 9, 2026. Key Takeaways: Fiction can create emotional distance that makes difficult experiences easier to explore. Recognizing yourself in a character can give language to feelings you have struggled to name. Human beings are complicated, and powerful characters rarely fit neatly into "good" or "bad." Silence may come from pain, fear, unreadiness or not feeling safe enough to revisit an experience. Stories can encourage reflection without becoming instructions for how someone should manage their mental health. Emotionally demanding creative work sometimes requires rest rather than more pressure. Walking, nature, supportive relationships and intentional breaks helped Nneka reconnect with her writing. Stepping away is not always giving up. Sometimes distance is what allows clarity to return.

Carlos Feliciano regresa a Café en Mano para hablar claro sobre dinero, inversiones y la realidad económica que estamos viviendo en Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos.En este episodio hablamos de por qué Wall Street puede estar en máximos mientras muchas familias sienten que el dinero rinde menos, el impacto de la inteligencia artificial en la economía, Bitcoin, oro, S&P 500 y el error de creer que estás diversificado cuando realmente estás comprando las mismas compañías varias veces.También entramos en uno de los debates más controversiales: ¿es mejor comprar una casa o invertir ese dinero? Carlos explica cuándo puede tener sentido NO tener prisa por saldar una deuda con intereses bajos y qué deberías considerar antes de comprar una propiedad simplemente porque la sociedad te dice que “ya te toca”.Además, hablamos del riesgo de hacer negocios en Puerto Rico, cash flow, carros de $100,000+, la falsa idea de que “los verdaderos millonarios manejan carros viejos” y por qué nunca puedes saber cuánto dinero tiene una persona simplemente por cómo se ve.Y cerramos con algo que muchas veces se pierde hablando de finanzas: ahorrar e invertir es importante, pero la juventud también pasa una sola vez.Cita con CAF: https://calendly.com/cafinvestments/15min?month=2026-08⚠️ Este contenido es exclusivamente educativo y no constituye asesoría financiera.

From national security threats to hilarious viral classroom trends, this episode covers it all!

We all have a plan until life decides otherwise. One phone call, one diagnosis, one unexpected loss, and suddenly the path we thought we were on doesn't look the same anymore. Maybe navigating unexpected challenges isn't about having the perfect plan, maybe it's about learning how to find your footing when the plan changes completely. Bill Derrick, a business leader who guided his family's construction company through the Great Recession before later being diagnosed with incurable blood cancer, joins host Swati to talk about what resilience actually looks like day to day, why hiding struggle rarely works in the long run, and what he's learned about the two things we can always control: attitude and effort. About the Guest: Bill Derrick is a Christian business leader, author, and public speaker who led his family's construction and real estate firm, Derrick Companies, through the Great Recession, and later navigated a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. He is the author of Restored by the Storm: Navigating Through Life's Unexpected Challenges. Key Takeaways: Being told "you'll look back and this will be the best thing that happened to you" rarely helps, empathy and a genuine offer to help mean more. There are two things you can always control, no matter what's happening around you: your attitude and your effort. Hiding a struggle might work short term, but eventually it shows up in performance, tardiness, or how you treat people, it rarely holds up long term. The storm always ends eventually, even when it feels permanent, situations change and you'll end up somewhere different than where you started. Progress often looks like two steps forward, one step back, a setback doesn't erase how far you've already come.

You think you know what matters until the phone rings at 2am, until the monitors start beeping faster, until a doctor looks at you and says we need to move now. But what happens after the immediate crisis is over? Survival doesn't always mean everything suddenly feels okay. Reasa Selph, a Texas marketing strategist and patient advocate whose son Nicholas nearly died from septic shock in December 2023, joins host Swati to talk about the 34 days that followed, the emotional toll that surfaced only after coming home, and how the experience turned into advocacy work aimed at protecting other families from the same outcome. About the Guest: Reasa Selph is a Texas-based marketing strategist, patient advocate, and podcaster, and the founder of Reasa's Pieces. After her son Nicholas was twice sent home from an emergency room before going into septic shock on Christmas Day 2023 and spending 34 days in intensive care, she became a vocal advocate for pediatric patient safety, supporting proposed Texas legislation, known as Nicholas' Law, requiring hospitals to disclose their pediatric emergency care capabilities to parents. Key Takeaways: Leaving the hospital doesn't mean the hard part is over, aftercare, second opinions, and emotional recovery often bring a whole new kind of work. Trusting your instincts as a parent matters, if something doesn't add up, it's okay to ask for the records, ask questions, or seek another opinion. The toll of survival mode is often invisible until afterward, both Reasa and her son needed therapy to process what they'd been through. Advocacy doesn't require expertise, it can start with writing things down, asking to see test results, and speaking up when something feels off. Healing doesn't mean the fear disappears completely, it means learning to meet it differently when it resurfaces.

Have you ever felt like you've changed, but the people around you still treat you like the person you used to be? You've become more confident, set healthier boundaries, changed the way you think, but every time you go back home or walk into work, it's like everyone is still reading an old version of your story. Dawn Stebbing, a voice and visibility strategist who has spent 16 years helping accomplished women be seen and heard at the level they actually operate at, joins host Shivam to talk about why growth doesn't automatically get noticed, how to close the gap between who you're becoming and how others still see you, and why some relationships naturally fall away as you change. About the Guest: Dawn Stebbing is a speaker, voice and visibility strategist, and certified international image consultant who spent 16 years as President of the Chicago chapter of the Association of Image Consultants International. She is the creator of the Visibility Code framework and the author of The Power Is in the Pearl, helping professional women align their presence, communication, and message with the leader they've become. Key Takeaways: First impressions speak before you say a word, how you show up communicates something whether you intend it to or not. Growth requires stepping out of comfort into the unfamiliar, it's scary, but that discomfort is a sign of progress, not failure. Not everyone will grow with you, and that's okay, some people become your cheerleaders, others quietly fall away, both are part of the process. Sharing your story, even in small pieces with one trusted person, is often the first step to reclaiming a voice you've silenced. Small shifts like genuinely saying thank you can change how people respond to you, changing yourself first often changes the pattern around you.

On this episode Tim & the crew are joined by Nick Freitas to discuss US planning to revoke 200K Visas ICE refusing to release Ilhan Omar FOIA over potential interference with immigration enforcement Tim Pool roasting John Lennon's Imagine Hasan Piker Mocking Charlie Kirk at a live show Hosts:  Tim @Timcast (everywhere) | https://www.shoutout.fans/timpool Phil @PhilThatRemains (X) | https://allthatremains.komi.io/ Tate @realTateBrown (everywhere) |  @TimcastTateBrown  (YT) Producer: Carter @carterbanks (X) |  @trashhouserecords  (YT) Guest: Nick Freitas  @Nickjfreitas  (everywhere)  

Today's Headlines: The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump personally called a senior DOJ official to settle the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation — days before trial, after Live Nation's CEO met with Trump at the White House to "discuss Kennedy Center bookings". Live Nation reportedly promised $10 billion in US investment in exchange for a favorable settlement so generous that most states refused to join it and kept suing, ultimately winning a jury verdict in April finding Live Nation illegally monopolizing the concert ticketing market. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to let Trump's mail-in voting restrictions move forward — not on whether they're constitutional, but on whether states had legal standing to sue — meaning DHS is now distributing citizenship lists to states and the Postal Service will only send ballots to pre-approved voters, with each state left to decide whether to comply before the Court rules on the actual merits, which is a convenient timeline heading into November. The Court also let Trump's ballroom-bunker construction continue while they decide whether it can continue. Yes, you read that right. On the immigration beat, the Trump administration is planning the largest mass visa revocation in US history, targeting up to 200,000 B1 and B2 visas held by asylum seekers issued between 2016 and 2026. And because somehow we are still at war with Iran even after “winning” several times, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held an event threatening any country that does business with Iran with "the full reach of American power" under something called Operation Economic Outcast, without specifying any actual steps or deadlines, while Iran's trading partners apparently told them they don't really care. And finally, today is the South Carolina Senate runoff between Lindsey Graham's sister Darline — who refused to say whether she would have certified Biden's 2020 win — and Ralph Norman, with Trump's super PAC spending $800,000 on her behalf.  Resources/Articles mentioned: WSJ: The Trump Intervention That Got the DOJ Off Live Nation's Back Axios: Trump says communities that oppose data centers are "making a mistake" NBC News: Supreme Court sides with Trump on some restrictions for mail-in ballots WaPo: Supreme Court eases path for Trump's sweeping limits on mail-in balloting Time: The Supreme Court Let Trump's Ballroom Proceed—for Now.

Struggling to scale your ads? Spending more won't fix the problem. Let's figure out why your growth strategies are not working. Talk to us at https://www.tiereleven.com/apply You've hired agency after agency, and no matter what they try, you can't scale your Google Ads. You don't have a Google problem. It's a creative strategy problem. Until you fix demand creation, no amount of campaign optimization is going to get you unstuck.In this episode, I break down a real client situation: a 14-year-old B2B SaaS company spending upwards of $200K a month on Google Search with no good answer for why growth has stalled. I'll walk you through why Google is a demand-capture platform, not a demand-creation one, and why 80% of any market lives in what I call the "zone of indifference." We also look at why the real fix lives in creative strategy on Meta, programmatic, and connected TV, not another Google audit. If your cost of acquiring new customers keeps climbing no matter what you spend, this one's for you.In this episode:- Why Google Search has a demand capture ceiling- The difference between demand capture and demand creation channels - Why branded search clicks cost 10-20x less than non-branded keywords - The "zone of indifference" and why it's 80% of your market - Why the agency rotation trap makes Google Ads more expensive- Why hook rate and hold rate matter more than landing page optimization - The B2B creative mistake of writing ads for users instead of buyers - How messaging extraction uncovers what decision-makers care about - Three questions to ask your agency if your Google spend has stalledMentioned in the Episode: Case Study on Optimizing Ad Spend: https://perpetualtraffic.com/podcast/episode-801-from-2-5m-to-4m-a-month-ad-spend-barely-changed-heres-why/ Tier 11's Data Suite: https://www.tiereleven.com/what-we-do/data-suiteJoin Ralph Burns and John Moran every Friday for The Ad Lab Live: https://www.youtube.com/@Tier11/streams Listen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491 Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuK Subscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@perpetual_traffic?sub_confirmation=1We Appreciate Your Support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/ Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburns Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ralphhburns/ Hire Tier11 - https://www.tiereleven.com/apply-now Mentioned in this episode:https://perpetualtraffic.com/advertise-with-us/

What if the biggest threat to your wealth isn't how much you make—but what you were never taught about keeping, protecting, and multiplying it?Marvin Mitchell returns to Inside the Vault with Ash Cash to break down the wealth strategies most people never learn in school, at work, or from the traditional financial system.After more than 20 years as a financial advisor, Marvin says the biggest shift is not always learning something new—it's unlearning the financial habits that keep people retirement rich but cash poor.In this episode, Marvin breaks down the difference between a debtor, saver, and wealth creator; why your money can't grow beyond your mindset; how wealthy people use leverage instead of constantly liquidating assets; and why high earners can still struggle with lifestyle creep.He also opens up about receiving a $1.3 million tax bill and says that after investing in high-level tax expertise, he was able to reduce the bill to under $200,000. Then the conversation turns to AI.Marvin says his coaching business generated $12 million without a single U.S. employee—using AI and overseas team members to keep payroll low while scaling operations. He explains why entrepreneurs should learn tools like ChatGPT, Grok and Perplexity, and why AI should be treated as an amplifier for your knowledge instead of just a shortcut. Marvin and Ash also discuss mentorship, real estate tax strategies, trusts, estate planning, infinite banking, protecting wealth across generations, and why the answer to your next level may not be “how”—it may be “who.”Learn more from Marvin: Instagram: @marvinmitchellofficial TransformYourWealthChallenge.comInside the Vault: @insidethevault InsideTheVaultShow.comHost: @iamashcash IAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 – AI, leverage & the wealth rules nobody teaches 02:17 – Welcome to Inside the Vault 03:23 – Marvin returns after the viral infinite banking episode 04:50 – Who is Marvin Mitchell? 05:48 – What people need to unlearn about money 07:13 – Retirement rich but cash poor 09:01 – Debtor, saver or wealth creator? 10:06 – The 3 money identities 11:05 – Opportunity cost & making money work multiple times 12:06 – Lifestyle creep 12:30 – Budget vs. spending plan 13:14 – Foundation, core & speculative wealth 13:48 – Emergency funds, insurance & protection 14:17 – Building the “boring” core 15:02 – Why YOU are the best investment 16:21 – Can you inherit wealth and keep it? 17:01 – Your money cannot grow beyond your mindset 18:35 – “If you want more, be more” 19:27 – How the IRS can destroy wealth 20:18 – Marvin's $1.3M tax bill 21:41 – Cutting $1.3M to under $200K 22:17 – What schools and jobs don't teach you 23:30 – Why Marvin believes in investing in mentorship 24:00 – The $80 paycheck that changed his thinking 25:10 – $100K mentorships and million-dollar returns 26:03 – The parable of the talents 27:23 – Why the master was the real wealth creator 28:27 – The answer isn't “how”—it's “who” 29:18 – How to avoid fake gurus 30:29 – Look at the fruit AND the infrastructure 31:59 – Should you pay for mentorship? 33:00 – Marvin's mission to become the “Black Dave Ramsey” 33:58 – The Transform Your Wealth Challenge 34:13 – Wealthy people leverage instead of liquidate 34:34 – Real estate tax strategies & cost segregation 35:16 – How the 5-day challenge works 42:54 – Giraffes, turtles & protecting big dreams 44:24 – How to take advantage of the wealth transfer 44:32 – Learn AI 45:02 – Using AI as employees 45:20 – $12M business with no U.S. employees 45:43 – “AI is not here to take your job” 46:42 – AI is an amplifier 47:07 – Marvin's AI business-planning prompt 48:08 – Is becoming your own bank still relevant? 48:49 – Revocable vs. irrevocable trusts 50:11 – Spendthrift, special needs & charitable trusts 54:05 – Why Compass Retirement is becoming Compass Wealth 55:05 – “Abundance is your birthright” 55:55 – Connect with Marvin 56:23 – Join the Transform Your Wealth Challenge 57:04 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
