In the first official Multifamily Minute episode of the newly rebranded Multifamily Hour, Axel introduces a macro economic concept that he believes every active real estate investor should be factoring into their deal-making right now: the K-shaped economy. Rather than leaving it as an abstract economic talking point, Axel translates it directly into a tactical framework for choosing deal types, building renovation scopes, and pricing rental units in today's market.This episode is essential listening for any investor currently executing or planning a value-add business plan who wants a clear, economically grounded framework for how to position their product, scope their renovations, and price their units in the current environment.Join us as we dive into:What a K-shaped economy is, real-world k-shaped examples across consumer sectors.Why businesses and investors "serving the middle" are getting squeezed — and why the same dynamic is hitting multifamily operators who are trying to push C-class product into B-class rent territory.The tactical implication for C-class deals: compete on price, do functional renovations only (life safety, curb appeal, cleanliness), and price below market to drive volume and minimize vacancy.A real example from Aligned's own portfolio: why the team moved away from $20K renovation scopes targeting $1,575–$1,600 rents and toward $15K functional scopes priced at $1,475 — with far more applications and faster lease-up as a result.The A-class play: why investors buying in truly A-class locations should go all-out on renovations — quartz countertops, tiled bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer, smart locks, package lockers, built-in storage — because the A-class tenant is not price-sensitive and rewards a premium product with premium rent and strong renewal behavior.The short-term rental parallel: why Airbnbs that succeed are either ultra-premium (every amenity, right on the water, top-of-market pricing) or ultra-budget (high occupancy, low price) — and why the middle is where operators go to lose money.Where B-class investors fit: lean into what the B product can offer, pull C-class residents up with modest amenities and competitive pricing, and avoid over-improving a building that A-class residents won't want to live in regardless.Are you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

If you think you have to move to New York or LA to make it in fashion, this episode says otherwise.Jack Savoie joins us from Denver to talk about building a fashion career — and a viral following — without uprooting your life. We get into how a fake Manolo Blahnik callout on TikTok caught Bethenny Frankel's attention and took him from 20K to 67K followers overnight, why he still works full-time as a buyer at A.Line while creating content on the side, and how he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter was wearing Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive dropped. We also talk about his path from Nordstrom shoe sales to designer buying, the "Shoes of the Past" series that turned fashion nostalgia into a cultural moment, and his advice for anyone trying to break into the industry without an internship or a big city zip code.In this episode, we get into:How Jack built a career in fashion while staying based in Denver, and why he doesn't think you need to live in New York or LA to make it in the industryThe story behind his viral Manolo Blahnik video — how he spotted a fake shoe in a Bethenny Frankel TikTok and grew from 20K to 67K followers in under 24 hoursHis path from selling shoes at Nordstrom to becoming a buyer at boutique retailer A.LineHow "Shoes of the Past," his series on discontinued cult shoes like the YSL Eiffel Tower cage boot and the Isabel Marant Beckett wedge, became his biggest content waveWhat it's actually like balancing a full-time buying job with a content career, and how he manages burnoutHow he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter wore Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive was publishedHis biggest recent splurge — a surprise Birkin 30 in Rouge H from his longtime Hermès sales associate — and why he waits months before wearing new purchasesThe brands and designers he thinks are doing the best work right now, including Chanel, Dior, and KallmeyerHis current red carpet favorites, from Teyana Taylor and Margot Robbie to Sombr's fashion-forward run this yearHis advice for anyone trying to break into fashion without a traditional industry job or big-city moveJack SavoieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesavoiedailyTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jack.savoieLet's Get DressedYouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpodNewsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperezLet's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Part 2 of a real novation deal I'm working right now in Greenwood Lake, NY. We had a buyer under contract, appraisal came back $50K over the purchase price — but their lender still wanted $20K in basement repairs or the deal was off. I walk through what happened, why I said no, and the real risks of novations that most people online don't talk about. If you're new to wholesaling or novations, this is the unfiltered side of the business.  

After I gave birth, something shifted.Not just in my life. In the way I saw everything I had been doing online.It was like a veil lifted. And suddenly I could see it so clearly — the performing, the posturing, the constant output, the launches, the polished version of myself I had been putting out into the world. And underneath all of it was this quiet, uncomfortable truth: I wasn't building from who I actually was. I was building from who I thought I was supposed to be.This episode is that conversation. The one I've been sitting with. The one I think a lot of moms in business need to hear — especially the ones who feel like the internet is a lie after they give birth, like everything they were doing before suddenly feels hollow.Because that feeling isn't a sign that you're broken. It's a sign that you've finally woken up.IN THIS EPISODE— Why so many moms feel like the internet is a lie after giving birth — and what that veil-lifting moment is actually telling you— How I realized I was putting on a show in my business and what I was really trying to avoid by staying busy— The difference between performing your life online and actually expressing it — and why one converts and one exhausts you— Why slowing down felt terrifying and what happened to my connection with my audience and my work when I did— What surrender, self-trust, and alignment actually look like in a real business — not the spiritual bypassing version— The question worth asking if your life doesn't feel right: what if the next step isn't doing more, but becoming more honest about who you are now?My views went down. My connection went up. And that trade was worth everything.

They fire a gun at exactly 12 hours. If you're not across the line by then, it doesn't matter how close you are, your race is over. That's Comrades, and this week we sit down with four-time finisher Steph Donaldson to unpack what actually gets you through 90km of South African road, from fuelling disasters to the strangers who talk you off the ledge in the final 20K. Then Rob Foster debriefs his first-ever triathlon at Challenge Roth in Germany, admitting exactly where his own prep let him down on the run. And Rob Jones brings us inside the Chamonix training camp, on why stripping the pace pressure out of a session makes people run better, not worse. It's a long one, but a good one. Three athletes, three very different days, and the same lesson underneath all of them: showing up matters more than the metrics.

$20K, one point, zero room for error — Nathan joins the pod fresh off winning the first-ever Paddletek One Point Challenge with Zane as his partner. We break down how they actually pulled it off, plus the chainsaw serve that almost got them DQ'd in the final. Also this week: the Shock swept the 5s at Beer City Open, Zane's prop bet died in front of everyone, and there's a new S-tier. Federico Staksrud's about to be the most valuable trade chip in the league — we rank who should go get him. Kate Fahey vs. Jorja Johnson gets heated. And Zane's got a real answer for how to stop teams from hunting Anna Leigh Waters all game. Then the actual news: Paddletek just bought PIKKL and signed the whole Johnson family — JW, Jorja, and Julie — plus Hurricane Tyra Black. Ron and Joe Saslow explain why that deal happened, why paddle brands keep eating each other, and whether Padel is about to eat pickleball's lunch. Oh, and there's a cereal draft.

I don't want you to just be visible. I want you to be visible AND paid.Because a woman who shows up every day, creates content, builds an audience — and makes no money from it — is just invested in a very time consuming hobby.I'm not doing this to be popular. I'm doing this to make money. And I'm going to assume you're here for the same reason — whether you're trying to make money right now or you're figuring out how you're going to make money in the future.Most women who are posting will never make the money they're capable of making. Not because they're not talented. Not because they don't work hard. Because there's a gap between visibility and income that nobody ever shows you how to bridge.This episode is about that gap. The visibility trap. And the 3 bridges that actually get you out of it.IN THIS EPISODE— Why visibility and income are not the same thing — and the data that proves it (over 200 million creators, more than half earning under $15,000 a year)— The Thailand story: sold out events, posting three times a day, opportunities everywhere — and making absolutely no money— The relatability trap: why poetic, emotional, relatable content builds connection but doesn't build income— "Access creates participation. Structure creates income." — the Forbes line that explains everything— The 3 bridges between visibility and income: conversion content, a clear offer, and trust scaled from 1:1 to 1:many— Why the gap between the $15,000 creator and the $133,000 creator isn't talent — it's operating like a business— The model: personal brand → conversion content → one digital product. In that order. That's it.Visibility is not the goal. Income is the goal. Visibility is just the door — make sure you have something on the other side of it.

What does it look like when a 35-year-old organization that has never fundraised decides to go all in on individual donors?In this special episode recorded live at GiveCon, I sit down with Penn Street, returning podcast guest, Development & Outreach Director at Aftersight, and host of The Blind Chick podcast. Penn walks us through Aftersight's transformation from a grant-only model to running successful sprint campaigns, including a $20K in 20 Days campaign that exceeded its goal and changed how the entire organization thinks about fundraising. We also dig into something most nonprofits completely overlook: accessibility as a revenue strategy. Penn makes the case that blind and low vision donors have money and want to give it to you, but your fundraising materials, events, and technology are making it impossible. Plus we talk about turning podcast audiences into email subscribers, using past guests as Social Street Team® members, and why your volunteer list might be the most underused donor pipeline in your organization.Topics:How Aftersight went from zero individual fundraising to exceeding its first $20K in 20 Days campaign goalWhy your podcast guests, volunteers, and past event attendees are untapped donor pipelinesUsing lead magnets to move podcast listeners into your email list, and why that matters for campaignsAccessibility as a revenue strategy: what nonprofit events and emails are missing and what it's costing themThe Social Street Team® method is applied to an organization with a national and international audienceLive Q&A: lapsed donor strategy, CRM migration, and alt text for inclusive email storytellingFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Everything breaks in a startup. Culture is what kicks in when it does.Leif Abraham and Jannick Malling are the co-founders and co-CEOs of Public, the agentic brokerage putting AI agents to work directly inside your portfolio. They started in late 2019 by bringing their two former teams back together, and have since watched every market cycle twice: from launch, to the GameStop chaos of January 2021, to the AI shift they're now building on top of.In this episode, they sit down with Jessica Neal and Peter Clarke to unpack how they actually run the company. They break down their 10 open-sourced operating principles ("Honesty kills bullshit," "Find a way," "Move fast through organised speeding"), why they treat culture as capitalistic tooling rather than fluffy values, and the moment Principle 10 drove a small engineering team to scale the trading system overnight when GameStop doubled their user base in a week, a decision that still compounds into Public's reputation for uptime today.They also make the case for the co-CEO model most investors say never works. The trick, they argue, is that they don't share a job, only a title: Jannick lives inside product and engineering, Leif runs growth, and they only converge on the 1% of existential decisions where more perspectives actually matter. It lets them stay deep in their craft and install one C-level hire at a time instead of scaling leadership in risky staircases.On hiring, they get pointed. Avoid the "badge hunters" who collect logos and optimise their LinkedIn, and instead find people who had to fight for their growth at companies you've never heard of. Be "truth-seeking to an uncomfortable degree" in interviews, because technical ability is table stakes, but motivation is the thing that actually predicts fit.Plus Jannick shares how he generates 20K a month selling covered calls, why AI agents are about to compress trading strategies into a single prompt, and how the pair are betting the next decade of investing will be about resourcing individuals, not just granting them access.00:00 Intro02:00 What Public is: the agentic brokerage06:00 Selling covered calls on autopilot11:00 Access vs resources: the next 10 years of investing16:00 Building culture from two merged teams20:00 Principle 1: Honesty kills bullshit27:00 Culture as the operating system, principles as the tools33:00 The GameStop scaling story and Principle 1039:00 Making the co-CEO model actually work48:00 Disagreement as a feature, not a bug53:00 Hiring: stay away from the badge hunters1:00:00 Truth-seeking in interviews1:05:00 Closing: problems, purpose, and health firstThis episode is not investment advice.#TruthWorks #Public #Investing #AgenticAI #Startups #Founders #CoCEO

The AI Recruiting Summit 2026 kicks off July 13th and runs through July 20th, and this episode is your preview of exactly what you will see there. Live sessions are free, so you can pop in and out around your desk. If you want the replays, grab the VIP option or join the Elite Recruiter Community, where every summit replay lives permanently. Register now at https://ai-recruiting-summit-2026.heysummit.com/ because 2026 is the year you draw your line in the sand. This episode is brought to you by Atlas, the AI first recruitment platform built to eliminate admin. Atlas captures every candidate conversation automatically and turns it into something you can use. With MagicSearch you can ask questions like who mentioned they are open to relocating next year, and it pulls answers instantly from real conversations across your entire database. Atlas customers have reported over 40 percent EBITDA growth and over 80 percent increase in monthly billings. Unlock your exclusive listener offer at https://recruitwithatlas.com/ Pulled straight from the Elite Recruiter Community library, this session is a taste of the summit format: a real recruiter walking through a real AI powered desk, screen level detail and all. Nick Poloni of Cascadia Search Group billed 1.3 million dollars last year, his first time crossing the million mark, with only about half a year on his current AI stack. This year he is already around 700K and climbing. And here is the part that should stop you mid scroll: he rates his own coding ability a one out of ten. He cannot write a line of code, and he still built his own recruiting bots, rebuilt his firm's entire website from scratch in Claude, and wired his ATS into Slack so a pipeline bot flags every stalled candidate before breakfast. Alongside Jake Price of PIN, Nick breaks down the full system. He records hiring manager intake calls, feeds the notes into Claude, and has AI write his AI sourcing prompts. His outreach is short, specific, and so personalized that candidates reply just to ask if he is real, at one point pulling around a 70 percent response rate across email and LinkedIn on over a thousand candidates. He has done zero traditional business development, no cold calls to HR, ever. Instead he gives away candidates, floats resumes for free, and lets value do the selling, a philosophy that landed him a 20K a month retainer and a 100 rep sales build. You will also hear how he sourced an entire salesforce in two and a half weeks, ran 500 to 800 interviews over three months without a single no show, and turned a Philippines based assistant into the chief of getting stuff done. If any of this feels out of reach, that is exactly why the summit exists. From July 13 through July 20 you will get walkthroughs, tools, and tech you can steal for your own desk. Nick's billing figures are his own account of his results, shared as he told them.

You're not going to lose your job to AI. You'll lose it to somebody who understands it. Chris Sowa has been inside the boardrooms where the AI conversation is theater. Senior tech executive at Accenture, IBM, and Oracle. Co-founder of Redacture, an AI security startup. He's also a Wim Hof Method instructor who walks into the Atlantic Ocean before most men are awake. He's a father of two sons. He buried a daughter almost five years ago. In this conversation, Chris and Ted walk through the gap between how AI gets talked about publicly and what actually happens inside enterprise — why most executives are clueless, why 75% of AI tools are wide open to prompt injection, why most enterprise AI pilots are million-dollar resume builders that never scale, and why this is a golden window for the small-to-mid business owner that won't last.  Then it goes deeper — into the operating philosophy Chris carries from his ice swims and his loss: if you can't lead yourself under pressure, you won't lead anything else. If you're a man between 25 and 55 carrying a business, a family, and a quiet sense that you're about to get left behind — this one's for you.   Key insights from this episode: The gap between AI talk and AI reality inside enterprise Why 75% of AI tools are open to prompt injection (what Meta admitted) The $1M AI pilot to "save" two offshore employees earning $10K (and why it never scaled) Why 70% of medium-sized companies are still clueless about AI "You won't lose your job to AI.

#976 What does it really cost to become your own boss? In part 2 of this 2-part episode hosted by Brogan Williams, Hunter Schenewark gets candid about the messier side of entrepreneurship — from struggling to truly unplug on vacation, to figuring out how much trust (and training) to give new employees, to the night he accidentally sprayed an entire garage door with sealant on barely any sleep. Hunter opens up about his closest calls with quitting, why showing up looking the part can make or break a quote, and how a rusty truck once cost him a client's confidence despite a great price. He also breaks down the real startup costs of a striping or sealing business — as low as $3,000 — and shares the mindset shifts that helped him push through the hardest days instead of walking away! What we discuss with Hunter: + Why entrepreneurship is hard to "shut off" + Trust vs. training new employees + When and why they had to fire an employee + Startup costs: as low as $3,000 + Paint rollers vs. striping machines + Why presentation and trucks matter for quotes + The rusty truck that cost a $20K quote + The garage door sealant mishap + Closest moments to quitting + Mindset shifts that keep him going Thank you, Hunter!

Henrik Zeberg, head macro economist at SwissBlock and author of The Monetary House of Cards, returns for his quarterly update to argue that markets and the economy are telling two completely different stories. While equities keep melting up toward a likely blow-off top, his models show the "quiet hand" of the real economy — labor market deterioration, rising full-time job losses, record credit card delinquencies, and a struggling housing sector — already rolling over into what he calls a structural recession. He walks through his indicator framework, explains why he's not calling an imminent recession yet (two more liquidity and yield signals are needed), and lays out his "Zeberg Solomon Protocol" for when he'd fully rotate out of stocks into bonds. The conversation also covers his contrarian views on inflation (he thinks disinflation, not inflation, is coming), his skepticism on Bitcoin's long-term value despite expecting a short-term bounce, a near-term gold and dollar bounce followed by major dollar strength, and his boldest calls for a year from now — including a bursting AI bubble and Bitcoin below $20,000.Thank you to our sponsors: Kalshi - download the Kalshi app and use code JULIA to get $10 when you trade $10. http://kalshi.com/r/JULIA Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links: X: https://x.com/HenrikZebergSubstack: https://henrikzeberg.substack.com/Book: https://buy.stripe.com/aFacN62DQdYFbZt9APaR201TEDx: https://youtu.be/DAmoawIOMbs?si=Infb0cLi8YPxdX4HTimestamps:00:00 – Intro: welcoming back Henrik Zeberg, head macroeconomist at SwissBlock01:05 – Recap: the rally he called last quarter played out as predicted01:36 – Stock market hasn't topped, but the real economy is quietly rolling over03:50 – The split between the "financial economy" and the "real economy"04:42 – His "structural recession call" — what it means and what's still missing05:25 – Kalshi's recession odds (10.4%) vs. what Henrik's model is showing06:25 – Why almost nobody sees a recession coming until it's already here07:06 – Breaking down GDP: why the consumer (70%) is the real signal to watch09:58 – Labor market red flags: falling participation, part-time vs. full-time jobs, long-term unemployment12:33 – The "avalanche" analogy — how a slow buildup becomes a sudden crisis14:59 – Credit card delinquencies now above 2009 recession levels16:04 – Why housing is the earliest domino to fall19:30 – Structural recession call, explained in full — and the two triggers he's waiting on24:45 – The market's "loud hand": no top yet, more melt-up ahead27:07 – Risk rotation theory — from mega-caps into small caps and speculative names29:16 – Why he thinks the inflation narrative is wrong (savings rate argument)32:57 – Stock vs. flow: the bathtub analogy for inflation vs. price levels33:28 – What could still push this "blow-off top" rally further34:32 – His own portfolio moves — how much cash vs. risk he's holding36:57 – The "Zeberg Solomon Protocol" — his signal for exiting stocks entirely into bonds39:37 – Bitcoin: why he's bullish on a short-term bounce but bearish long-term42:23 – Gold outlook tied to a weakening (then re-strengthening) dollar43:43 – Dollar forecast: DXY to 93–94 short term, then a run toward 120+44:56 – One-year-out contrarian calls: AI bubble bursting, Bitcoin under $20K, recession confirmed47:06 – Where to find Henrik's work47:25 – Parting thoughts: don't trust a crowded consensus trade

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.25) It's a packed, no-filler episode and we're not slowing down. We open heavy with the devastating twin earthquakes that flattened Caracas and La Guaira — the death toll has climbed past 235 and the rescue effort is racing the clock. Then a wild Conway throwback, because the man once drove Lionel Richie around as a limo driver (Loretta Swit, we're so sorry). Speaking of Lionel — the legend literally sat down mid-"Dancing on the Ceiling," went dizzy, and pulled the plug on his own tour opener with Earth, Wind & Fire, now with two shows postponed on doctor's orders. We've got the jaw-dropping play-by-play, the $200M net worth whip-around, plus the unhinged Richie-Conway saga: Buckley School, Nicole Richie, and a frankly absurd $20K thank-you gift basket. We close on a gut-punch — tennis icon Chris Evert revealing her ovarian cancer is back for a third time, just as her Netflix doc with Navratilova drops. Real news, real chaos, zero filler. Hit play.

Brian O'Connor spent three years building a 40,000-person Twitter following, launched product after product into that audience, and made almost nothing. The turning point came when he stopped looking for clever ideas and started running a boring business where product market fit already exists. He wrote down everyone he knew, sent texts, and sold $20K of recruiting services off a single Google Doc in two weeks. Today he runs TalentHQ, a recruiting agency placing Latin American project managers into US businesses — built nomadically with a co-founder, now operating with a team of two plus AI. In this conversation: why reach and revenue have almost nothing to do with each other, how he turned a podcast into his primary acquisition channel, and what it actually looks like to build a service business from scratch in 2026.

Same presentation. Same offer. Same you. $91,000 in sales. Two weeks later with a different audience? $4,000. In this solo episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the insight that separates six-figure coaches from seven-figure coaches: the price you charge is based less on what you do and more on who you serve. This isn't about changing your offer or tweaking your funnel. It's about understanding that a psychologist charging per hour makes $250-$350. The same person doing emotional release work with an upleveled avatar charges $50K per package. Same work. Different avatar. 100X different price. Most coaches obsess over their product. "How do I improve my course?" "What sales funnel works better?" They're focused on the wrong thing. The real leverage is identifying your upleveled avatar and understanding what problems they actually have. What you'll learn: → Price is determined by who you serve, not what you offer - Two people doing identical work charging 10X different prices based on avatar → Higher level avatars have higher level problems - Beginners ask "What's a lead magnet?" High-level clients ask "How do I own market leadership?" (premium problems = premium prices) → Beginners require volume, premium clients don't - One $50K client is easier to work with than ten $5K clients and takes action faster → Different avatars have different desires - Beginners want their first $10K. Upleveled avatars want market leadership and multi-six to seven-figure businesses → Why resourcefulness is the real differentiator - Beginners are less resourceful because they haven't developed the internal mechanisms to push through hard things Real insights from the episode: The $91K vs $4K story - same presentation, same offer, different audience, wildly different results Why beginners are "stuck" - they're still dealing with foundational problems (foundational problems don't pay premium prices) The woman in my Platinum group who left a "high-level" program because everyone was asking basic questions like "What's a lead magnet?" Why you shouldn't focus only on the lowest common denominator (beginners) The emotional release work example: $250-$350/hour as a psychologist vs $50K packages with upleveled avatar Higher level problems: team problems, profitability problems, scaling problems, system problems, market leadership The consistency difference: Beginners making $3K one month and $20K the next (chaos). Premium clients with stable recurring revenue Why premium clients are easier to work with - they're resourceful, know what they want, and take action How to identify what problems your upleveled avatar actually has Building specific products for different avatar levels (not everyone joins high-level programs) If you're running an established expert business doing $300K+ (or aiming there), Platinum is our highest-level mastermind. It's for people ready to build a highly profitable, 2-3 million dollar business with a small team, full lifestyle, and zero complexity.

The Guardian recently featured my plan for how I'm raising my toddler to become a millionaire and it got me fired up about something I've been sitting on for a while. Today I'm calling out the financial patterns that Latino parents normalize that are actually keeping our community from building real wealth. I'm not talking about our elders who came here with nothing and survived on grit. I'm talking to us — the millennial parents with smartphones, podcasts, and investing apps at our fingertips — who still aren't doing enough differently. We'll talk about why spending $20K on a quince but skipping the 529 is a problem, why your child is NOT your retirement plan, and the five mindset shifts that need to happen so we can stop breaking generational cycles and start building generational wealth.This is a tough love episode, mi gente, but I think you're ready for it.WE GET INTO:00:24 The Guardian feature + Jannese's toddler wealth plan02:53 Who this episode IS (and isn't) for04:18 Problem #1: Spending on appearances, skipping financial foundations06:03 Problem #2: Treating your children like a retirement plan08:01 Problem #3: Preaching education without a financial plan for it10:30 College vs. retirement — why you must always choose retirement14:07 Problem #4: Shaming kids for wanting more16:12 Problem #5: Dismissing financial tools as "too much" for kids18:30 When it's not that there's no money — it's that there's no mission19:20 Action steps for Latino parents (talk about money earlier, stop saying you don't know)20:32 Action step: Open the accounts — 529, brokerage, Roth IRA20:44 Action step: Redirect family gifts to the college fund21:50 Action step: Plan for your own retirement + money tools resource23:45 The $4 trillion spending power problem — and what we need to build instead24:49 The vision: celebrate AND invest26:44 Closing + how to get The Guardian article27:23 Outro — Stay PoderosaKEY TAKEAWAYS:Spending on appearances while skipping financial foundations isn't tradition — it's a decisionYour child is not your 401k, your emergency fund, or your exit strategyPreaching education without a financial plan for it is setting your kids up to drown in student loan debtIf you have to choose between saving for college or retirement, choose retirement — every single timeWanting more does not make you ungrateful.

Real estate direct mail is one of the most consistent deal sources for investors who want to control their own pipeline, and Ryan Saldanha has proof. Ryan does 50+ deals a year in the Tampa market using a direct mail and cold calling system he built after relying on wholesalers left his deal flow inconsistent. His direct mail marketing for real estate runs on the same list he cold calls, and going direct to seller gets him $15 to $20K deeper on every deal. In this episode, he breaks down how he runs a flip-heavy business in a single market and what he's learned about scaling when your fixed costs don't move.   KEY TALKING POINTS: 0:00 - Intro 0:22 - Why They Went Direct-to-Seller 1:41 - Buying Deeper on Deals 2:49 - Marketing Channels They Use 4:30 - Scaling Around Fixed Costs 6:11 - Going Deep vs Going National 8:05 - Premium Pricing Program Explained 9:34 - A Deal That Taught a Lesson 11:56 - Managing Flips and Systems 13:09 - Finding Great Contractors 14:21 - Raising Private Capital 17:08 - Advice for the Next Generation 19:09 - Where to Find Ryan 19:34 - Outro   LINKS: Instagram: Ryan Saldanha https://www.instagram.com/realryansal/   Website: Sell Quick Tampa https://www.sellquicktampa.com/   Instagram: David Lecko https://www.instagram.com/dlecko   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: Ryan Haywood https://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments   Website: Heritage Home Investments https://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Victoria Whittaker had degrees from Stanford and Berkeley Haas, a coaching practice she knew was her calling, and clients telling her she'd changed their lives. She also believed she wasn't making money — even though she'd just signed a $20K contract she'd never let herself register as success. The shift didn't come from a new funnel or a price-page edit. It came from subconscious reprogramming and nervous-system work that surfaced where her scarcity actually lived — and whose voices it belonged to. As her body steadied, her pricing did too. In this conversation, Celinne and Victoria trace how she raised her core program from $3,600 to $10K with clients who say yes from alignment, why she calls it a nervous system shift rather than a mindset shift, and how following that same steadiness led her to launch retreats and move to Hawaii. You'll hear what becomes possible when you stop measuring your worth by your revenue and start leading from intuition and presence. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Meet Victoria and the women she helps leave the corporate rat race 09:40 Explore why “my business was my life” is both a gift and a cage 11:55 Reframe peace and freedom as an internal state, not an external one 16:35 Discover how Googling “subconscious reprogramming coach” led her to Celinne 17:43 Unpack the untold story that cracked open her whole business 28:47 Name the difference between a mindset shift and a nervous system shift 47:19 Hear money become a tool — not a measure of worth, value, or love 53:32 Get the numbers: $3,600 → $10K, and clients creating $60K quarters 1:01:05 Witness the shift from “if I were three floors higher” to gratitude for the trees KEY IDEAS:

What if the very thing you believe makes you a good person is actually keeping you stuck? In this episode of the Quantum Business Queen Podcast, Sarah Tynan explores one of the biggest hidden patterns preventing entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, and leaders from creating the reality they truly desire: accommodation. Most people think accommodation is kindness. Most people think accommodation is generosity. Most people think accommodation is simply being a good human. But what if accommodation is actually the unconscious act of bending your standards, your truth, and your power to make other people comfortable? Inside this powerful episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why accommodation is one of the biggest ways we unconsciously give our power away ✨ How your rules, standards, and meanings shape your reality ✨ Why the universe responds to your lowest standards and most limiting beliefs ✨ The hidden connection between accommodation and manifestation ✨ How to stop living by other people's rules and start creating your own reality ✨ The difference between awareness and embodiment ✨ Why entrepreneurs at every level—from their first $20K month to multiple seven figures—struggle with the same pattern ✨ Practical exercises to identify where you're accommodating and reclaim your power If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated, disconnected from your vision, or like you're carrying more than your fair share, this episode will help you identify exactly where you've been accommodating others at the expense of your own expansion. Because the amount by which you accommodate is often the amount by which you stay stuck. In This Episode 00:00 Introduction 00:42 The hidden cost of accommodation 02:09 Why your reality is shaped by your rules and standards 03:14 How accommodating others disconnects you from deliberate creation 04:12 The dating example that reveals the pattern 05:40 Why accommodation blocks receiving 06:24 Creating new rules for your reality 07:40 Why your ego needs new anchors 09:25 The primal roots of accommodation 10:57 Why concepts don't change your life 12:12 Sarah's personal story about money and responsibility 13:24 The collective narrative of "hard" 15:18 Why accommodation keeps entrepreneurs stuck 17:02 Applications for the Quantum Business Academy Connect With Sarah Sarah Tynan is a business mentor, quantum coach, and founder of the Quantum Business Academy.

You're two, three, maybe five years into practice. Your patients get results. Your reviews are solid. And yet — the schedule fills and empties in waves, the income plateaus, and you can't figure out why working harder isn't moving the needle.Here's what nobody told you in your DPT program: growth isn't a clinical problem. It's a structural one. And most pelvic health providers spend years trying to out-skill a business problem they were never trained to see.In this episode, Kelly breaks down the real reasons pelvic practices plateau — the referral trap that keeps you dependent on other providers, the pricing structure silently capping your income, and the positioning gap that makes your practice invisible to the exact patients you built it for.This isn't about working harder or adding more certifications. It's about the four structural bottlenecks that separate the practices growing past $20K months from the ones stuck in the feast-and-famine cycle — and the diagnostic Kelly uses with PelviBiz clients to find the break in under 20 minutes.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly which bottleneck is holding your practice back — and what to fix first.KEY TAKEAWAYSDoing good clinical work is not a growth strategy — referral dependency, pricing, and positioning are business problems that require business solutionsA practice that fills and empties in waves has a structural problem, not a marketing problemThe diagnostic question every plateaued pelvic PT needs to answer before adding more con-ed, more services, or more hours

Working nights. Working weekends. Working into the cracks of your life. Tracking every minute for 30+ clients. Watching your effective rate drop every time you get faster at your job.If that is your current reality, this episode is the mirror you need.This week on Serve Scale Soar, I sit down with Mandy, a Canadian funnel designer and Strategist Society member, who pulled off one of my favorite kinds of transformations. She went from $10K hourly months (and full-on burnout) to one $12,000/month retainer client, a $19K best month, and a $130K year in 2025, all while working around 30 hours a week. Same brain. New container.We get into the exact moment it finally clicked for her at Strategist Summit Live, the boring (and consistent) Marketing Minutes strategy that landed her dream client out of a free Facebook Group, and the unexpected champagne client problem nobody warns you about when you finally get your time back.In this episode, you'll learn:Why hourly pricing is a pay cut every time you get better at your craft (and the math behind it)The Strategist Summit moment when one sentence from another member finally cracked Mandy openThe exact Marketing Minutes strategy Mandy ran during our 30-day challenge (hint: Facebook Groups are NOT dead)How she pitched and landed a $12K/month retainer from a free Facebook Group postThe "champagne client problem" of suddenly having time and not knowing what to do with itWhy you should build your retainer floor BEFORE the scalable offerWhy Strategist Society works for funnel builders and consultants, not just ad managersWhat actually moved the needle inside the program (and what Mandy did NOT consume)Mentioned in this episode:Apply for Strategist Society: thestrategistsociety.comDM the keyword MANDY to @brandimowles on Instagram for the lightning recapFor early-stage ad managers: conversionsforclients.comReady to scale past $10K months?Strategist Society is the room where high-level service providers (ad managers, funnel builders, consultants, OBMs, copywriters) scale to $20K, $30K, and $50K months while working under 25 hours a week.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Jason Grechanik, master tabaquero and host of The Universe Within Podcast, for a deep exploration of sacred tobacco as Amazonian plant medicine. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-358/?ref=278  Sacred tobacco is usually understood in the West through the lens of cigarettes, addiction, and commercial misuse. But in Amazonian traditions, Nicotiana rustica is understood very differently: as a master plant, a protector, and a powerful medicine that requires lineage, discernment, and right relationship. Drawing from nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason shares how tobacco is worked with in dieta, ayahuasca ceremony, energetic protection, and direct relationship with plant spirits. Paul and Jason also discuss cannabis, indigenous cosmologies, safety, and what tobacco's history can teach the modern psychedelic movement about power, humility, and proper containers. Jason Grechanik is a master tabaquero trained in the Mamankunawa tradition under curandero Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. With nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason spent many years at the renowned Shipibo healing center Temple of the Way of Light. He is the host of The Universe Within Podcast, with 180+ episodes and 20K+ monthly listeners, co-founder of the Nicotiana Rustica project, and has been featured in DoubleBlind Magazine. Highlights: Jason's path into Amazonian tobacco medicine Tobacco beyond commercial cigarettes Why tobacco is considered a master plant Dieta as direct plant relationship Tobacco as portal and protector Ayahuasca, diagnosis, and plant doctors Safety, toxicity, and proper containers Jaguar and hummingbird tobacco archetypes Cannabis, dreams, and plant relationship Lessons for the psychedelic renaissance Episode Links: The Universe Within Podcast Nicotiana Rustica Project Jason on Instagram Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.
