Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast and I'm your host, Karen Yankovich. In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I'm pulling back the curtain on the five foundational visibility assets you need in your digital toolbox to land bigger, juicier corporate contracts. We're not talking fluff here—I'm giving you the same strategies I teach inside my She's LinkedUp programs that help smart, successful women position themselves for $25K, $50K, even $100K contracts. And here's the kicker: You probably already HAVE some of these assets… but you're underutilizing them. We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About The Episode and Highlights: From optimizing your LinkedIn profile (yes, your profile is your FIRST proposal) to leveraging media mentions that borrow credibility when you're building your consulting brand, this episode walks you through the exact assets corporate buyers are looking for before they write those bigger checks. We're talking mindset shifts too—because if you're still settling for $5K contracts, it's time to shift into “I'm worth $25K” energy. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why your LinkedIn profile isn't your resume—and how to reframe it as your biggest sales tool. The power of PR and media mentions (hint: it's not just for celebrities). Why case studies and testimonials matter more than perfection. How your LinkedIn company page acts as your digital storefront—even if you're a solo entrepreneur. Why consistent thought leadership content builds your trust factor and attracts higher-paying opportunities. This episode is your visibility wake-up call. Remember: People don't invest $50K in hidden geniuses. They invest in visible, credible leaders. Let's get you visible.   Magical Quotes From The Episode: “Your LinkedIn profile isn't your resume—it's your first proposal.” “People don't invest $50K in hidden geniuses. They invest in visible, credible leaders.” “Visibility isn't vanity—it's leverage.” “Thought leadership isn't self-promotion. It's a service that builds trust before you ever get on a call.”   Resources Mentioned In the Episode: Book a FREE Clarity Call with me Follow our LinkedIn Company Page for weekly visibility tips!

Why can't you sell grandma's famous cookies without jumping through government hoops? What if the biggest thing holding back local food entrepreneurs isn't the competition… it's the red tape?

Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ We're talking with writer and policy analyst Noah Gould, who breaks down his bombshell article from National Review about how Michigan's food entrepreneurs are getting choked out by outdated, confusing, and downright nonsensical regulations. Want to butter toast at an event? Better have a separate license. Want to scale past $25K in revenue? Hope you enjoy navigating six different regulatory agencies. This isn't just a Michigan problem – it's a national trend. The government claims it's keeping you “safe” with all these rules, but grocery stores don't even trust the bureaucrats. They demand third-party certifications anyway. So why does the state still get to decide which food is “worthy” of your plate? Brian and Noah don't stop at highlighting the problem – they expose the cronyism, the fear-based exceptions, and the outright hypocrisy in how regulations are enforced. And most importantly, they lay out how we can fight back: with smarter laws, voluntary standards, and a market that rewards real value – not political connections.

Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast and I'm your host, Karen Yankovich. If you're still treating LinkedIn like it's a boring conference room from 2012… we need to talk. Like, now. In this week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I'm bringing my full Jersey energy to the mic and giving you the real talk on why LinkedIn is not optional anymore — especially for smart, accomplished women ready to step into their next-level income, impact, and influence. We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About The Episode and Highlights: Whether you're a consultant, speaker, executive coach, or boardroom-bound powerhouse, your LinkedIn profile is either working for you 24/7… or whispering, “She's not ready.” I'm walking you through 10 unapologetic reasons to stop ghosting LinkedIn and start treating it like the high-ticket magnet it truly is. Spoiler alert: LinkedIn drives 80% of all B2B leads on social media — and if you're not part of that statistic, we're gonna fix that today. You'll learn: Why your LinkedIn profile is your first digital impression (and how to stop leaving money on the table). How to turn your existing network into a referral goldmine without cold pitching. Why thought leadership and PR visibility live (and thrive) on LinkedIn. What makes LinkedIn the only social platform where people are actually thinking about business when they log in. How to position your brilliance for speaker gigs, board seats, and big-ticket opportunities — without dancing or trends. This is your wake-up episode, friend. No shame, just love. The kind that comes with a little nudge to finally claim your visibility like the powerhouse you are.   Magical Quotes From The Episode: “LinkedIn isn't just your digital first impression — it's your online publicist, your brand strategist, and your lead machine. Use it like one.” “Visibility isn't about popularity. It's about positioning. One conversation, one post, one person — that's all it takes to land your next $25K client.” “Stop treating LinkedIn like a résumé. Start treating it like the spotlight for the woman you're becoming, not the one you used to be.” “Your next client, your next board seat, your next speaking gig — they're all a connection away. But only if you show up like you're ready.”   Resources Mentioned In the Episode: Connect with me on LinkedIn: Karen Yankovich — and peek at how I do this for myself.

Raising Funding in Downtimes Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising goes through the same cycles as the stock market, When the stock market is going up it's easier to raise funding. When it's going down it's harder. Raising funding in down times requires more creativity. Here are some ideas on how to raise funding in a down market: Use more grant funding to fill in the gaps. The grant funding from the government continues regardless of the market. Consider crowdfunding. For smaller amounts of funding, this can help. Use revenue-based funding for a portion of the raise. These funds must be paid back but are non-dilutive to the cap table. Consider low-end angel funding in which accredited investors write $25K checks. For the right valuation, angel investors will come into the deal. In addition to these funding options, consider customer funding. This requires building custom projects for specific customers but if done right can continue to build out the platform and pay the bills. On the strategic side, shift from a high burn rate to a low burn rate and grow organically for a while.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is what my future holds. I'm determined to try running again. I signed up for a half marathon in December, so I have that on my radar. Contemplating doing the 25K at Wild Hare in November because I've "just" been doing the 10K the last couple of years.I feel compelled to do one of the summer races and volunteer, but it seems like my schedule has been filled with work and travel and not much time for those activities. But, it's only July, so there is time.

  5 Types of Income to Create Infinite Income   - AZ TRT S06 EP09 (271) 5-25-2025              What We Learned This Week Multiple Streams of Income strategy 5 Types of Income – Career, Investment, Retirement Account, Pension, Tax Free Diversification of income provides you security and freedom Build Infinite Income thru initial investment, and profits pay off loans, then go on forever George Lucas created the Star Wars IP one time, and gets infinite returns from the movies & merchandise Real Estate, Business, and Insurance products are good assets for infinite income     Notes:   Segment 1: The 5 Types of Income – Why One Stream Isn't Enough Opening: The Economic Shift ·         The economic landscape has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. ·         While business and technology have advanced, personal finance education and systems haven't kept pace. ·         Inflation has significantly eroded purchasing power. ·         It's no longer the 1950s where one income could support a family of four. Now, two incomes are often required—and even then, many people have a third gig. The New Normal: Side Hustles & Financial Reality ·         According to recent stats, 70% of people need an additional income stream, often from a side business or freelance work. ·         30% of Americans hold a second job. ·         Among millennials, that number rises to 50%.     The Lesson from Robert Allen & Rich Dad, Poor Dad ·         Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income advocated for income diversification to gain safety and freedom. ·         Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad emphasized acquiring income-producing assets—his favorite being real estate. The 5 Types of Income 1.    Career or Business Income Your primary, day-to-day W-2 income—pays the bills and covers monthly expenses. 2.    Investment Income Comes from appreciating or income-producing assets like real estate, stocks, or Bitcoin. 3.    Retirement Accounts Tax-deferred income sources like IRAs or 401(k)s—subject to rules and penalties but critical for long-term planning. 4.    Guaranteed Income Comes from pensions, annuities, or Social Security. Designed for lifetime income and stability. 5.    Tax-Free Income Generated through Roth IRAs or cash value from life insurance. You pay tax on the seed, not the harvest. Call to Action: ·         Make a list of which of the five types of income you currently have. ·         Strategize how to build the remaining ones for a balanced, resilient financial future. Analogy: Just like a business has multiple products or a sports team has multiple ways to score, individuals should have diverse income sources to win financially. Segment 2: Infinite Income – Building Streams That Never Run Dry What Is Infinite Income? ·         Infinite income is ongoing, residual income that continues long after the original work or investment. ·         It's the financial holy grail: put in work or money once, get paid over and over. Key Assets That Can Generate Infinite Income: ·         Tangible Assets: Real estate, businesses, stocks ·         Intangible Assets: Skills, knowledge, intellectual property (IP), network Examples of Infinite Income in Action 1. Real Estate ·         Buy a $250K property with 10% down ($25K). ·         Renters pay the mortgage; property appreciates. ·         Refinance later, pull out your original investment tax-free. ·         Continue collecting rental income even after loan is paid off. ·         Use refinance funds to buy more properties → Repeat → Scale. 2. Business Ownership ·         Start or buy a business using a loan. ·         Profits pay off the loan, then continue to generate revenue. ·         Later, use the business as collateral to expand or acquire another. 3. Life Insurance (IUL Strategy) ·         Fund a policy over time; cash value grows tax-deferred. ·         Take loans against the policy tax-free—used as supplemental retirement income. ·         Policy can also be a legacy tool, passing on wealth tax-free. 4. Intellectual Property (IP) ·         George Lucas with Star Wars—created once, profits for decades from merchandise and licensing. ·         Jeff Bezos still profits from Amazon stock, 30 years later. ·         Microsoft, McDonald's, Coca-Cola—IP and systems built once, revenue continues for decades. ·         DC Comics still profiting off Superman IP created in the 1930s. Key Principles for Building Infinite Income ·         Choose the Right Assets: Real estate, businesses, IULs—not just assets that appreciate, but ones that cash flow. ·         Leverage and Scale: Use debt wisely to scale income-producing assets. Wealthy individuals and private equity firms use this strategy constantly. o    Example: PE firms acquire HVAC companies, funeral homes, rental properties—assets that provide consistent 10%+ returns. ·         Use Tax Strategy to Your Advantage: o    Tax-free income is more efficient. o    Lowering your tax burden increases your net income immediately. o    Wealthy individuals use loans, Roths, and life insurance to optimize tax efficiency. Mindset Shift: ·         Don't chase just “buy low/sell high” assets. Instead, acquire harvestable assets—ones that generate regular income and can appreciate. ·         Build cash flow now, use it to reinvest in more assets—repeat the cycle. Closing Thought: ·         Control three things: Assets, Income, Taxes. ·         Master those, and you create not just wealth—but infinite income.     Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

This week on the Countdown, I'm joined by one of our most beloved Sunday Evening Jam regulars — the witty, wise, and wonderfully loquacious Jeff from Belleville. You know him. You love him.

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 20 — Neil from Arroyo GrandeHey, it's jD, and this week I'm joined by a die-hard hockey fan and Hip convert who hails from California. Meet Neil from Arroyo Grande, the west coast wizard of late-night YouTube rabbit holes and deep-cut reverence.Neil didn't grow up with The Hip in his backyard. He had to find them — through hockey, through Trailer Park Boys, through a fascination with Canadian culture that led him down a road paved with Gretzky, Jericho, and yes… Gord.We talk about getting into the band via Yer Favourites, chasing context across albums and eras, and how discovering The Hip opened the door to new perspectives on art, identity, and memory. He shares what it's like being an American Hip fan (“Wait, they're not on the radio here?”), and how Phantom Power, Man Machine Poem, and some Gordon Edgar Downie solo magic helped him through hard times — and made the music his own.From WWE finishers to vapor trails to songs that hit like Shakespearean tragedy, this one's for the late bloomers, the lyric heads, and anyone who ever found themselves singing along to a song they didn't fully understand… until they really did.

Coming up in Compton and playing in front of gangs to staying home and choosing USC. Why Toronto was the best place for Demar out of college and why he put the responsibility of the city on his back. Playing for Coach Gregg Popovich in San Antonio taught him life lessons outside of just basketball. The team in Chicago that had the tools to go the distance but came up short due to injuries. Plus, hitting 25K points and the legacy that hes built over 17 years in the NBA.

On this week's episode, I sit down with Thomas Castelli, real estate-focused CPA and partner at Hall CPA, to dive deep into real, practical tax strategies that can save investors thousands. If you've ever wondered whether your CPA is leaving money on the table, this episode will confirm your suspicion and give you the tools to fix it.   Thomas shares eye-opening stories of tax returns gone wrong, the truth behind cost segregation and depreciation, and how strategic planning done proactively can unlock massive wealth preservation.    Whether you're a seasoned investor or just closing your first deal, these are the systems, mistakes, and mindset shifts that separate the average from the elite.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 02:41 From accounting student to real estate investor to real estate CPA 04:02 Why generalist CPAs often cost investors money 05:14 The myth of “you can't take more than $25K in losses”—and how pros work around it 06:10 How depreciation offsets income and reduces your effective tax rate 07:17 The $50K case study: a CPA missed cost segregation, costing a client dearly 08:18 Advisory vs. compliance: why strategy beats paperwork 10:02 Common mistakes: missed depreciation, unreported insurance, and more 12:02 Opting out of bonus depreciation—when it helps and when it hurts 14:47 What is cost segregation? 18:12 Which items can be carved out in a cost seg: carpets, appliances, sheds & more 19:15 Should you run a cost seg if you plan to sell in 2 years? 21:36 Get in touch with Thomas and his team 22:26 Why real estate is the best long-term tax strategy in America 24:30 Tax planning isn't a luxury—it's your responsibility   Quotables   “Most CPAs are generalists. If they don't live in real estate, they don't know what to look for.”   “Your tax return is a report card for what already happened. If you want to influence it, you have to act now.”   “This is like surgery. You don't do it yourself.
