September 11th, 2025, Yu Menglong, a Chinese actor with 25M followers is found dead in pools of his own blood after an alleged industry dinner party. Police quickly claim that he ‘drunkly fell' from the fifth floor of the luxury Beijing apartment and close his case. Chinese netizens couldn't disagree more. A list is released of all the high ranking celebrities that were alleged to have been at the fatal dinner party. A late-billionaire's wife who inherited all of his money after he suspiciously died in prison. A director known for his bright red hair and predatory behavior towards young male actors. An art director of a museum exhibit showcasing alleged preserved human torture scenes that was visited by Yu Menglong prior to his death. The husband of that same art director, who is also the owner of the luxury Beijing apartment where Yu Menglong ‘fell.' And those are just four of the 17 guests that netizens suspect were with Yu Menglong during the last moments of his life. That list plus his two beloved dogs that have also mysteriously ceased to exist. And what about the other ten different celebrities under Yu Menglong's same talent management who have also passed away under very suspicious circumstances? This is part two of the Yu Menglong case.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Anne Ghesquière reçoit le journaliste Stéphane Allix. Notre conscience survit-elle à la mort ? Quel rôle peut jouer la médiumnité dans la compréhension du deuil et de l'après-vie ? Comment ces capacités permettent-elles de percevoir les messages des défunts ? Quelle est la différence entre médium, voyant et mentaliste ? Nos proches sont-ils vivants ailleurs ? Peuvent-ils nous envoyer des signes ? Stéphane Allix a mené, auprès de 7 médiums, une expérience rigoureuse sur l'assassinat d'Aurélie, victime de féminicide. Un thème qui l'interroge et sur lequel il enquête depuis de nombreuses années. Son livre, La Preuve : les morts nous “parlent” chez Harper Collins. Épisode #631Quelques citations du podcast avec Stéphane Allix :"La conscience ne disparaît pas avec la mort du corps.""La mort est une métamorphose et une métamorphose est une invitation dans la lumière.""Quand tu vis quelque chose qui s'apparente à un signe, à la seconde où ça se passe, tu sens quelque chose de juste."À réécouter :#592 Trouver le chemin de la libération#497 La mort n'existe pas#329 Un fantôme sur le divan#199 Nos âmes oubliées#19 Nos défunts nous parlentJusqu'au 31 octobre, tentez de remporter 500€ de prestations beauté et bien-être de votre choix, avec Planity !Recevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook & TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcast / Spotify / Deezer / CastBox / YoutubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec Stéphane Allix :00:00Introduction02:00Présentation invité03:03L'origine de La Preuve08:55Comprendre la médiumnité12:59Qu'est-ce que la vie après la mort ?14:22Parler à des défunts ou capter des infos19:28Faut-il laisser les morts avec les morts ?24:19La mort comme une métamorphose28:25Médium, voyant et mentaliste33:22Trauma et médiumnité35:27Parasitage et filtres38:40L'effet Barnum40:40Les révélations44:41Une communication spécifique46:59Pierre Yonas : une séance bluffante49:12Les deux leçons de cette enquête51:17Distinguer un bon d'un mauvais medium57:37Les signes perçus par les proches01:04:07Le chemin du deuilAvant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo DR Hébergé par Acast.

Does Net Revenue Retention (NRR) really move your company's valuation multiple? Absolutely — and the difference can be worth tens of millions of dollars. In episode #319, Ben Murray breaks down new data from Meritech Capital and Benchmarkit.ai to show exactly how changes in your NRR directly impact your revenue multiple and SaaS valuation. You'll also learn why ACV segmentation matters when benchmarking NRR and Gross Revenue Retention (GRR), and how top-performing SaaS companies are using retention metrics to drive investor confidence and higher valuations. What You'll Learn The link between NRR and valuation multiples — a 7-point jump in NRR can double your multiple. How a $5M ARR company can see a $25M valuation swing from retention improvements. The latest SaaS benchmarks from Ray Rike (Benchmarkit.ai) for NRR and GRR. Why you must benchmark NRR by ACV, not company size or industry averages Why investors prioritize retention when evaluating durability, efficiency, and predictability of revenue. Why It Matters For SaaS Founders: NRR improvements can directly increase your exit or fundraising valuation. For CFOs & Finance Leaders: Retention trends reveal the sustainability of your revenue model and influence your ARR growth forecast. For Investors: High NRR signals strong customer economics, pricing power, and efficient growth. For Operators: Knowing your NRR by ACV cohort allows smarter resource allocation and customer success planning. Resources Mentioned The SaaS CFO Academy: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/#section-1744932157830 Quote from Ben “A 5X difference in valuation multiple can come down to just a few points in your net revenue retention. That's the power of strong SaaS metrics.”

Most sellers tend to get caught up in the technical side—asking the “right” questions, handling objections, and checking all the boxes. But in the process, we often overlook something just as important: the emotional side of selling. That's why I invited Alex Kremer, founder of Alluviance, to join me. He breaks down how the right mindset can help you close more deals and build lasting relationships.Meet Alex Kremer· Alex Kremer is the Founder of Alluviance, a community and organization dedicated to transforming sales and leadership through authenticity, purpose, and performance. · With over 15 years of experience, he has worked with top companies like Salesforce, AWS, and Gong, and played a key role in scaling Outreach from $25M to $250M. · He's hired, trained, and led over 100 Account Executives and Sales Managers, earning President's Club honors 7 years in a row.· Alex is known for helping leaders build high-performing teams and purpose-driven cultures that achieve lasting results.Beyond the Tactics: The Role of Mindset in Sales Success· Alex pulls back the curtain on his journey, opening up about the hidden struggles he faced even when he seemed most successful. · Despite hitting top quotas and leading major accounts at Microsoft, he battled depression, highlighting a key truth: salespeople can meet every external standard and still feel empty inside. · Alex explains how mental, emotional, and even spiritual health are often overlooked but absolutely crucial to sustainable, fulfilling sales success.Practical Strategies: Filling the Void and Mastering the Inner Game· Alex introduces the concept of “parts work,” a therapeutic approach to identifying and relating to various emotions without self-judgment. · He stresses the importance of self-awareness, inviting reps to treat their emotional states with the same curiosity as they would a sales prospect in discovery. · Simple practices like mindful breathing, walks without phones, and reflective journaling can create the internal space needed for clarity.Leadership in Action: Bringing Mindfulness Into Sales Teams· For sales leaders, Alex suggests starting meetings with grounding exercises such as box breathing or gratitude practices. · Investing a few minutes in presence and connection sets a more productive tone than jumping straight to numbers.“When you connect more deeply with yourself, it allows you to connect more deeply with other people, which is very interwoven with sales.” - Alex Kremer.ResourcesAlex's company, Alluviance, hosts regular retreats blending sales tactics with inner game work.

Money and power are merging on the high seas. The New Yorker's Evan Osnos exposes how super yachts became the new seat of American oligarchy.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1217What We Discuss with Evan Osnos:Billionaire political donations increased 200x in 20 years ($25M to $3B in 2024), marking America's shift from democracy to oligarchy — where economic and political power fuse.Super yachts are floating power centers — not just status symbols but boardrooms, tax havens, and networking hubs where billion-dollar deals happen beyond public scrutiny and regulation.Each super yacht pollutes like 1,500 cars running continuously, costs 10 percent of its purchase price annually to maintain, and creates toxic work environments for crew in legal gray zones.The ultra-wealthy face insatiable desire — where 50-meter boats become "embarrassing," half-billion-dollar yachts are "quite nice," and satisfaction remains perpetually out of reach.History shows extreme inequality resolves through crisis — war, revolution, or pandemic. But we can prevent these outcomes by making systems less advantageous to the few and more inclusive to all. Support politicians who limit campaign finance influence. Vote with your wallet. Build communities that value contribution over consumption. Small actions compound: we shape culture by what we celebrate and reject.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Crash or Crack? Zillow's Legal Storm, CoStar Feud & Housing Market Mayhem FTC slaps Zillow & Redfin with an antitrust lawsuit The FTC accuses Zillow of paying Redfin $100 million to exit the rental advertising space, shutting down competition for nearly a decade. Redfin allegedly gave up ad partnerships, helped Zillow poach employees, and agreed to syndicate only Zillow's listings. What's at stake: advertising pricing power, renters' choice, and whether Big Tech in real estate just got too big. CoStar strikes back: Zillow accused of rampant photo theft CoStar claims Zillow unlawfully used more than 46,000 of its copyrighted photos — even with watermarks — across Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com syndication networks. Zillow has already started removing images at the center of the case. This could become one of the largest copyright battles the real estate industry has ever seen. Real estate data digest — warning signs everywhere • Pending home sales posted their first meaningful monthly decline in months, despite mortgage rates easing slightly. • Luxury home prices jumped 4% to a median of $1.25M, even as overall sales hit the lowest August level in more than a decade. • Starter-home sales are up, as buyers look for affordability in a shifting market.  • The share of mortgages with rates above 6% is at a 10-year high. • Refinance demand plunged 21% as rates hit a 3-week high.  • Even homeowners with sub-4% mortgages are on the move, often turning to new builds to lock in incentives. What this means for agents, buyers & markets going forward We break down the legal risks, competitive threats, and strategic pivots needed to survive in a volatile real estate tech era — plus some bold predictions for what comes next.

On today's Daily Windup, I dive into how certifications can be the catalyst for massive growth in government contracting. From real-world success stories like Sarah scaling her 8A business to $30M, Marcus building his SDVOSB to $25M, and Lisa cracking $40M through combined certifications, this episode reveals why credentials aren't just paper—they're profit multipliers. I also unpack why certifications like PMP, Agile, and Lean Six have become essential in today's government contracting landscape, with over 600,000 project management roles available and the DoD increasingly requiring PMP for leadership. Whether you're a veteran translating military skills or a contractor chasing scale, you'll learn how credibility and capability must align to win. Key topics covered: Real success stories of entrepreneurs scaling to $25M–$40M with certifications (8A, SDVOSB, and combined approaches). The rising necessity of professional certifications like PMP, Agile, and Lean Six in the government space. Why credibility, combined with capability and relatability, is critical for winning government contracts. Learn more: https://govcongiants.org/

In this week's episode Ron walked through his track record of about $25M in partner-equity deals with no LP syndications, where he typically sells at a 2× equity multiple plus cash flow. After selling most of his holdings this year (three sold, one small buy), he's retooling with fewer partners, longer holds, higher-quality assets with durable leases, and sites that include optional land he can monetize later.The big takeaways match my playbook: be fast to underwrite and offer, but patient until a real opportunity appears. Tighten NNN leases and keep meticulous documentation because institutions turn diligence up to roughly 10x a normal deal. Ron's recent IOS example summed it up well: bought two buildings on roughly 4 acres for $2.35M, corrected overstated acreage, reset a tenant to market before closing, secured about 5% seller financing, re-leased quickly after a vacancy (plus a roof repair), then exited about 18 months later to Blackstone for $4M+ at roughly a 6.4 to 6.5% cap. Looking ahead, he is eyeing an 80,000 sf Laredo distribution play with two years of term left, comfortable with lease-up risk given a low basis and easy demisability. We both prefer clustering assets in one submarket to cross-shop tenants. Macro view: the economy feels fragile, cap-rate compression is a maybe, and selective small IOS, sometimes all cash, can be the resilient move--

In this episode of The New Flat Rate Podcast, host Natalie Koop and CEO Danielle Putnam sit down with Tyler Martin, founder of CFO Made Easy and seasoned fractional CFO.

In this episode, Casey explores the true power of compounding — how time, trust, and disciplined habits create outcomes far greater than the sum of their parts. He shares how two decades of relationship equity, balance sheet building, and pattern recognition came together in a real estate transaction that turned an empty Class A office into a 12 year cash-flowing asset while unlocking $25M in equity.He reframes compounding beyond money into skills, reputation, and momentum. Drawing on Tony Robbins' framework of recognizing, utilizing, and creating patterns, Casey shows how consistent daily inputs set the stage for exponential results when opportunity arises.For high performers, he offers a practical system: a morning routine of cold plunge, sauna, prayer, breathwork, and 100 daily burpees, followed by three focusing questions — Who am I, What are my biggest opportunities, and What fires me up. The lesson is clear: small, intentional actions compound into extraordinary advantages over time.Learn how to expand compounding beyond finance into habits, reputation, and opportunity design. See the real estate case study step-by-step: buying a $42M building for $15M, securing a long-term tenant, financing in a brutal office market, and returning 100% of investor principal in nine months. Steal Casey's daily system (cold plunge, sauna, prayer/meditation, breathwork, 100 burpees, and three focusing questions) to build compounding advantages in your own life.

What happens when your first brokerage hits $10M… and then collapses?In this raw and real conversation, Tyson Lawrence, founder of Diablo Freight Ventures, walks us through his 20+ year freight journey — from CH Robinson hustle to drayage grit in East Oakland, and through the gut-wrenching experience of losing his first company and going through personal bankruptcy after a fallout with his largest customer.But instead of quitting, Tyson doubled down — building a second brokerage, this time with a smarter playbook: focused LTL entry, lean processes, and customer fit over customer size. That business scaled to $25M and was ultimately acquired.Today, he runs Diablo Freight Ventures, a freight investment and coaching platform, and he's helping the next wave of founders avoid the mistakes he had to learn the hard way.______________________________________________

She didn't have a plan. No investors. Not even a laptop. At 25, Sava Lelcaj had 60 days to figure out her next move after losing the lease on her 10-table café. Most people would've played it safe. She didn't. Instead, she convinced investors, who'd just lost money on the space, to hand her the keys to a 300-seat restaurant. And somehow, it worked. Today, Sava runs a $25M hospitality group with multiple restaurants, guest houses, and a farm. In this episode, she talks us through what it actually looked like to scale with no roadmap, why being underestimated helped her win, and what she's learned about leadership, mostly the hard way.  Sava didn't have capital, experience, or a plan. She succeeded through sheer grit and determination alone. Wanna do the same?  Tune in and learn from the best of the best!  — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.  — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 02:51 The intersection of AI and hospitality  07:17 Sava's experience with being a female entrepreneur  12:41 There are no bad decisions  19:30 Sava's sheer will and determination  26:48 From a tiny cafe to a huge restaurant  32:04 Holding on or letting go?  37:43 Leasing vs. buying real estate  41:02 Becoming a good leader 47:38 Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs 53:47 Outro — Additional Resources:

In this Grownlearn episode, Sal Rehmetullah (co-founder of Stax Payments and now Worth) breaks down how he and his sister Suneera scaled Stax to 500 employees and $200M ARR, sold it for $1B, and then turned their attention to the broken world of small-business credit. We dig into Worth's AI-powered underwriting plus onboarding stack, why they don't touch fund flows, and how they're partnering across global data sources so banks and lenders can understand real-time business risk—think “Credit Karma for business,” but built for enterprise adoption first. Sal also gets candid about purpose post-exit, minority-led entrepreneurship, the $25M seed led by TTV Capital, and what SMB owners can do today to become more lendable. About the guest: Sal Rehmetullah is the co-founder of Stax Payments (one of the first minority-led fintech unicorns) and co-founder of Worth, which is rebuilding the financial infrastructure for SMBs with real-time compliance, onboarding, and underwriting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GrowNLearn, led by Zorina Dimitrova, connects select VCs, Family Offices, and Strategic Investors with precisely matched, high-growth ventures across Europe and the U.S. We also support founders with strategic growth advisory—helping you transform your business model, increase valuation, and prepare for investment or exit.

At EUVC Summit 2025, one speaker opened with an unexpected challenge:“Let's stop munching grass like a herd of sheep—and start looking toward the horizon.”What followed was a deeply tactical session on how VCs and founders can recruit, test, and develop top-tier talent, with lessons drawn from—of all places—English football and cybersecurity unicorns.Will Maunder-Taylor shared the story of Leicester City FC, one of the most improbable sporting triumphs of modern times.In 2008, they were relegated to the UK's third divisionIn 2010, bought by new ownersIn 2011, hired Steve Walsh as head of recruitmentBy 2016, against 5,000-to-1 odds, they won the Premier LeagueHow? By focusing on:Mindset over CVData over brandTeam chemistry over big-name signingsThey built an entire team for £25M—less than what a competitor paid for one player.“They believed in talent and mindset over character. And they trained accordingly.”Once founders have the confidence to hire ambitiously, the next question becomes: How?The speaker offered a practical framework:Be brutally honest in interviews – Share real concerns and observe how candidates respond. Can they absorb and reflect?Create structured feedback loops – Let people improve in real time, not post-mortem.Test behavior, not polish – Past brand names don't predict future startup grit.Build in weekly accountability – The only difference in the top-performing teams? They check in—regularly, honestly, and constructively.“If you're a VC or board member and you're not instilling weekly accountability in your portfolio, you're missing the biggest lever.”Will Maunder-Taylor called on VCs to get tactical—not just strategic:Ask founders how they're hiringWho's mentoring the team?What KPIs exist for internal talent development?How is feedback being delivered?Because talent isn't just about who you hire—it's how you coach, test, and level them up.Let's give founders the confidence to stop hiring like sheep—and start winning like Leicester.Accountability, mindset, and trust in the process win out over pedigree, every time.From Pub Pitches to Premier League: The Leicester City BlueprintWhat This Means for FoundersVC's Role: Push for Accountability, Not Just Hiring

How do you build a tech company from scratch, scale it without venture capital, and sell it for $25 million?

Best Practices in Raising a microVC Fund Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising a microVC fund, consider the following: It takes 12 to 18 months to raise an initial fund. Most funds start off in the $10M to $25M range. With a successful funding record, one can move up to the $35M to $50M range. Limited partners will be family offices and high-net-worth individuals. In raising funds, consider these best practices: Show how your fund is unique and differentiated from other funds. Make clear the vision for the fund and what it will accomplish beyond the return to the investor. Show the competitive advantage of the team and its network.  Highlight the track record of the team in deploying capital.  Look for an anchor investor who will lead the fund and place a sizable amount to start. Build out the team so the fund is not a solopreneur endeavor. Fund closings range from 3 to 5 rounds over the course of the raise. Give incentives to investors to join the fund, such as access to direct investments that are doing well.  Consider these best practices for your microVC fund.    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.

Darin Roberge is a veteran executive, analyst, and thought leader in the collector and classic car scene. As president of Motor Works Marketing, publisher of the Z 260 newsletter series, and current caretaker of Arizona Car Week, Darin has helped shape the future of America's most iconic car events while championing nonprofit causes and classic car culture. On this episode we talk about: Early hustle lessons: From picking up dog poop at a humane society to refereeing youth basketball, Darin learned early the value of doing work you genuinely care about—and how passion can shape a career. Pursuing what you love: Darin's entire professional life has revolved around his core interests—animals, guitars, cars, and motorcycles. He describes his path not as accidental, but as a blend of deliberate choices and seizing “right place, right time” opportunities. Unusual entry to the car business: After attending car auctions for years, a fateful incident (his girlfriend slipping and falling on a car at an event) led to a backstage introduction to the CEO of Russo and Steele. Within months, Darin went from punk rock frontman and nightclub promotions to a leadership role at one of the industry's major auction houses. Reinvention and loss: The sudden career shift wasn't easy—Darin lost friendships and faced accusations of “selling out.” He discusses the emotional fallout, what it means to outgrow old circles, and why ultimately you're the only one responsible for making decisions that serve your future self. Mindset and skill-building: Darin credits humility, a willingness to learn, and constantly offering value as his keys to success, both in the boardroom and as a leader in car culture. Leveling up in the industry: Now as the head of Arizona Car Week, Darin has tripled the size of the event, rallying the local community to create a car show that includes 30+ events—many of them free—making the culture accessible to everyone, not just millionaire collectors. Community impact: Arizona Car Week is a $300M economic engine for the region, supporting jobs, tourism, schools, and local infrastructure. Nonprofit innovation: Darin's newest ventures—Motor Works Gives and Classic Cars for Nonprofits—offer zero-cost, low-lift fundraising programs to help organizations monetize car donations and auction opportunities, raising over $25M for more than 40 organizations since 2018. Key advice: Life is long, and you're never “locked in.” If you're facing a major (possibly terrifying) change, be tough, stay open, seek positive outside passions (like boxing or music), and surround yourself with people who help you evolve. Top 3 Takeaways Don't Wait for Permission—Make Your Own Luck: Sometimes radical life changes—no matter how uncomfortable—open doors to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Community and Flexibility Matter: Listening to your audience, staying humble, and being willing to adapt are essential for building lasting business and personal impact. Work That Means Something—To You and Others: Forget “get rich quick.” If you stay engaged with work you care about and strive to help your community, profit and fulfillment follow.
