In this candid and powerful conversation, Michael Grandjean joins Dwayne Kerrigan to share the real story behind his rise, collapse, and rebuilding as an entrepreneur who led with heart—and paid a steep price for it.From early service as a volunteer firefighter and Navy corpsman to building a $25M remediation company, Michael reflects on the leadership blind spots that quietly dismantled his business: avoiding confrontation, ignoring early warning signs, and letting emotion override structure and accountability.He opens up about losing everything, the humility required to face hard truths, and the moment that changed his trajectory—the realization that even at checkmate, the king still has one more move. This episode is a raw masterclass in leadership self-awareness, responsibility, and what it truly takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.Episode Highlights:01:15 — Dwayne introduces Michael and some of his background03:00 — Framing the conversation: collapse, comeback, and leadership through adversity05:00 — Early life experiences that shaped Michael's instinct to serve and protect others08:00 — How learning-by-doing in the military built confidence, skill, and leadership12:00 — The missed Naval Academy opportunity and how a single point changed his life path16:00 — Discovering the root of his need to “fix everything” through early childhood memory20:00 — How that identity became both a leadership strength and a business liability24:00 — From couch-surfing to starting his first company with borrowed money28:00 — Explosive growth: scaling from zero to $25M and building teams that drove success35:00 — Hiring high-accountability leaders and why standards matter more than likability42:00 — The beginning of complacency and losing focus after reaching the “top”48:00 — Major projects fail, millions lost, and the cost of avoiding confrontation55:00 — Hard truths: personal blind spots, delayed decisions, and leadership responsibility01:05:00 — The emotional bottom, rebuilding identity, and the realization that “the king still has one more move”01:20:00 — Final reflections on honesty, courage, accountability, and choosing to move forwardKey Takeaways:Leading with heart is powerful, but without boundaries it becomes expensive.Relationships, not brands, carry small and mid-sized businesses.SOPs, structure, and accountability protect leaders from their blind spots.Complacency quietly erodes even successful companies.Leaders must be honest with themselves before they can fix anything else.Even at your lowest point, you still have one more move.Resources Mentioned:Checkmate: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1365025640684229 Tony Robbins – Date With DestinyAwaken the Giant Within (Tony Robbins)MastermindNotable Quotes:“The king still has one more move” - Michael Grandjean

Tara returns from the holidays to find the world on fire — and a major geopolitical operation unfolding in America's backyard.

Is the United States at war with Venezuela?

The Upstate is on fire

Tara returns from Christmas break — and finds the geopolitical chessboard completely flipped. ♟️ In this deep-dive episode, Tara explains why Nicolás Maduro was always going to be taken alive, why Democrats suddenly changed their story on Venezuela, and how oil, indictments, cyber warfare, and cartel networks all connect to a single strategy: ripping the enemy nexus out by the roots. From CNN's 2019 “Trump is a Putin puppet” narrative to today's claims of “illegal war” and “oil profiteering,” Tara walks through the receipts — indictments, arrest warrants, sanctions, and economic data the media refuses to reconcile. This episode also pulls back the curtain on Somali fraud, grievance-group pipelines, and why the real Democrat crisis isn't politics — it's math, economics, and exposure.

The man was wrongfully convicted and got released after 25 years; he was compensated by the state ($1.25M) and then sued the City of Detroit and received $7M; the court of appeals has ruled that the statute giving the man the $1.25 requires the money to be repaid when he was compensated by someone else. https://www.lehtoslaw.com

Happy New Year and Happy first of the month. On the first day of each month we review the book of the month. In order to be considered for book of the month a book needs to meet a simple criteria. It needs to be impactful enough that it might change your life or your perspective on the world. I would put this month's book into the category of philosophy.  It is a thought provoking read called “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind”, by Yuval Noah Harari. The book has sold more than 25M copies since it was first published in 2011. His works have been translated into 65 different languages.The central thesis of the book is that Homo sapiens dominate the world because we are the only species capable of cooperating flexibly in large numbers, a feat we achieve by believing in "shared myths" —things like money, gods, nations, and human rights that exist only in our collective imagination.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Happy holidays—and let's be real: the markets, the economy, and “the plan” don't look clean right now.In this 12 Days of Giving episode, Shana Orczyk Sissel comes back with a story that hits every advisor (and every client) right between the eyes: a young advisor leaves a firm, starts from zero, and lands a $25M client… not by sounding smarter… but by asking better questions and bringing REAL options to the table.Here's the uncomfortable truth: most advisors are selling the same portfolio with a different logo on it. Same playbook. Same funds. Same “set it and forget it” pitch. Shana breaks down why alternatives—private credit, direct lending, and other non-traditional tools—can be a legit way to differentiate… IF you're actually doing planning and not just product-pushing.Then we go straight at the elephant in the room: crypto and “controversial” investments. If your advisor's entire view is “it's a scam,” that's not wisdom—that's laziness. You don't have to love crypto to be qualified. But you DO have to have a thoughtful, educated stance. Because the future client is already there, already curious, already investing… and they're not waiting for the industry to catch up.We also talk about where advice is headed: less AUM worship, more fee-for-service, coaching, and real-life decision support. Translation: if you can't deliver value people can't get from a brokerage app, you're going to get left behind—fast.Watch the full episode here:https://youtu.be/Wv8sctzRALQAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

Dear A-Rod, Please Come to Driveline: See How Data Helps Kids, Not Hurts ThemDeven opens with a deep dive into training ball flight over swing esthetics, explaining why paying attention to batted ball outcomes (line drives between 10-18 degrees) matters more than visual checkpoints. He breaks down gravity, drag, and descent angles to illustrate why "swing level" coaching sets kids up for failure. The episode pivots to A-Rod's viral Instagram video telling 4.4 million followers that 15-year-olds shouldn't chase launch angle, exit velo, or max effort, and should focus on "three pitches for strikes anytime you want" at Jamie Moyer velocity levels. Deven systematically dismantles this advice, arguing it's advocating for ignorance—telling kids to reach a destination without a map or compass. He explains why sub-competitive velocity with command doesn't play against college hitters, why exit velo paired with ideal launch angles equals relevancy, and why the "old days" of Greg Maddux and Jamie Moyer aren't coming back. Deven extends an open invitation for A-Rod to visit Driveline and see how data serves players rather than replacing coaching. The episode closes with personal reflection: telling his 16-year-old son "you can't win the race on this lap" after missing a velocity PR, connecting process over outcome to cross-sport application, and addressing travel ball trauma through a friend's panic attacks decades later.

The Power of Peer-to-Peer Advisory Groups: How Jerry Brazie Helps Entrepreneurs Avoid Costly MistakesIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Jerry Brazie, founder of The Kronos Group, to explore why entrepreneurship doesn't have to be a lonely journey. Jerry shares how peer-to-peer advisory groups provide business owners with trusted insight, accountability, and real-world problem-solving that goes far beyond motivation or surface-level advice. Drawing from decades of experience building and advising companies, Jerry explains why consistent peer engagement can be the difference between costly mistakes and sustained growth.Why Peer-to-Peer Advisory Groups Create Stronger, Smarter LeadersJerry Brazie compares entrepreneurship to mastering a skill like pool—progress doesn't come from occasional participation, but from consistent, focused practice. In business, that consistency shows up through regularly meeting with peers who understand the pressure of leadership and growth. Advisory groups create an environment where business owners can openly discuss challenges, test ideas, and learn from others who have faced similar decisions, often preventing expensive missteps before they happen.A key distinction Jerry emphasizes is the difference between peer-to-peer advisory groups and traditional mastermind groups. While masterminds often focus on inspiration or high-level ideas, advisory groups are intentionally small and structured to deliver individualized feedback. Each member receives dedicated time to present real problems, receive candid input, and leave with clear next steps—turning discussion into execution rather than motivation without follow-through.Jerry also highlights the personal dimension of advisory groups, noting that leadership challenges rarely stop at the office door. Conversations often extend beyond operations and strategy into personal well-being, relationships, and balance. By addressing both business and life challenges, advisory groups help entrepreneurs make better decisions, stay grounded, and lead more sustainably over the long term.About Jerry BrazieJerry Brazie is the founder of The Kronos Group, a peer-to-peer advisory organization serving business owners with revenues between $1M and $25M. With decades of experience building, scaling, and advising companies, Jerry is passionate about helping entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes through accountability, candid feedback, and structured peer support.

Today's guest is Jaclyn Johnson, a serial entrepreneur, investor, and the founder of Cherub, a new platform reimagining how early-stage founders and investors connect. Before Cherub, Jaclyn built and exited Create & Cultivate, leading her to over $25M of exits and cementing her as one of the most influential builders in modern women's business culture.In this conversation, we get into the real stuff behind the highlight reel, from navigating divorce and dating in the middle of a very public career, to the unsexy realities of selling a company, starting again, and figuring out what you really want your life to look like on the other side. We also talk about how she thinks about modern entrepreneurship, where the creator and founder worlds are colliding, and why building a brand that actually means something has never been more important.

In this episode, John Wilson is on-site in Chicago with Aizik Zimerman, owner of J.Blanton Plumbing, to break down how one of the fastest-growing plumbing companies in the country built a sewer and drain growth engine. Since buying the $6M Jay Blanton business at the end of 2022, Aizik has scaled it to ~$25M this year and a $30M run rate — and nearly half that growth is coming from sewers. They unpack the investments, the operational build-out, and the marketing + sales system that turned trenchless lining into a repeatable, high-volume profit center. Aizik shares the exact playbook behind his “Unclogs for Dogs” offer, why they send salespeople with cameras first (no junior drain tech flip), and how they price lining as the cheaper alternative to excavation to beat inertia and win the market. If you're trying to add $5–$10M of revenue through drains, improve close rates, or build a trenchless division that actually scales, this episode is a must-listen.What You'll LearnThe 2022 → 2025 growth story: $6M to $25M+ and what changed operationallyWhy Aizik bet big on sewers while competitors stayed HVAC-heavyThe economics of lining vs. digging: pricing, margins, and why “cheaper lining” winsHow a $1M+ CapEx investment (UV curing trailers, jetting, prep teams) unlocked volume

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Rodric sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and financial literacy coach Angela Goodman to unpack the truth behind “money problems.” Angela shares the hard-won lessons from leaving corporate HVAC, surviving (and choosing to exit) the restaurant world, and coaching business owners who are great at their craft but broke on paper.They dig into discernment, boundaries, self-worth, and communication—and why most entrepreneurs don't actually have money problems… they have people problems and self-valuation problems. You'll also hear about fearless experimentation (including cutting into a dream hot rod to learn welding), human design, and why you wouldn't desire the thing if you weren't capable of doing the thing.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy Angela walked away from corporate America and bought a restaurant she'd “never do again.”How short-term rentals, multifamily, and restaurants can make you question humanity—and what those experiences taught her about boundaries.The link between communication, self-worth, and cash flow (and why it's almost never “just the money”).How to become radically picky about clients and partnerships—and why Angela tests people before they know they're being tested.Rodric's Four Futures framework and the moment you hit “no more” and never go back.The real cost of refusing to invest in help, even when you're leaving millions on the table.What human design and spiritual work have to do with business, money, and why you're on earth.A simple but powerful reframe from Channel Panel: “You wouldn't desire to do the thing if you weren't capable of doing the thing.”About Angela GoodmanAngela describes herself as “just a girl from Virginia,” but the resume is a little bigger than that:Started in commercial HVAC, one of the few women in the industry.Climbed into leadership managing large teams and a $25M business.Left corporate to buy into a restaurant franchise, grinding 24/7, surviving COVID, and ultimately choosing to exit.Invested in multifamily and other ventures that taught her hard lessons about partners, discernment, and trusting the wrong people.Today she works with business owners on financial literacy, communication, and culture, helping them stop being “poor entrepreneurs” and start running profitable companies aligned with who they really are.You'll find her speaking to rooms of accountants, trades, and entrepreneurs on money, leadership, and communication—then heading off to Antarctica and beyond for bucket-list adventures.Key Moments & Timestamps00:00 – Antarctica, Easter Island & Lifetime Trips Rodric and Angela open with travel talk: Antarctica, Machu Picchu, Easter Island, tennis majors, and why Angela wants to go where nobody else has been.03:23 – “I'm Just a Girl from Virginia” – Angela's Origin Story Angela shares how she went from commercial HVAC to buying a restaurant franchise, and why she's now exiting to focus on helping business owners “figure out their sh*t.”06:36 – Restaurants, Airbnbs & Questioning Humanity They compare war stories: restaurant guests, short-term rentals, multifamily tenants… and how certain businesses can make you seriously rethink how much you like people.08:49 – Learning Discernment the Hard Way Angela talks about bad partnerships, being owed hundreds of thousands of dollars, and realizing she trusted the wrong people....

RUNDOWN   We're celebrating the start of Year 8 of Mitch Unfiltered! Mitch checks in from Las Vegas—oddly with zero urge to gamble—while Hotshot breaks down his old roulette system and the painful bad beat that once drove him out of Vegas for years. Mitch and Hotshot geek out over the new Eddie Murphy documentary, then Mitch tells his favorite 10-seconds-of-fame story — yelling a deep-cut sketch line to Murphy at a 1985 stand-up show and getting singled out from the stage. They pivot to the Seahawks' 30–24 "no-win" win in Nashville, weighing how worried to be about letting a 30–10 lead shrink, while marveling at Jaxon Smith-Njigba's obscene pace (already breaking the single-season franchise yardage mark in 11 games) and explaining why Rams-Bucs, common opponents, and divisional records mean Seattle may need both a win over the 49ers and help from the lowly Cardinals to take the NFC West. Steve Phillips joins Mitch to unpack Seattle's near–World Series run — from Julio Rodríguez's late-season surge to the Game 7 choices that doomed the Mariners, including pulling George Kirby too early and avoiding Andrés Muñoz in the highest-leverage spot. He explains why modern analytics can mislead managers, why Aaron Judge rightfully edged Cal Raleigh for MVP despite East Coast conspiracy theories, and why extending Josh Naylor was the right call even if the back-end years sting. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's 30–24 win over the Titans — a game that was far closer than it should've been against the NFL's worst roster. They dissect the defensive lapses (two long late TD drives, missed tackles, fatigue), Sam Darnold's clean but risky performance (a couple near-picks, heavy JSN dependence), and a quietly emerging run game anchored by Walker and Charbonnet. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to reset the entire college football landscape heading into rivalry week — from Washington's shot at a season-defining upset over Oregon to the seismic consequences of an eight-win finish versus nine. He breaks down the transfer-portal era attrition at programs like UCLA, the SEC's multi-team playoff math (with Alabama's "brand advantage"), and why chaos in Austin, Baton Rouge, and Oxford could reshape the playoff bracket if Lane Kiffin jumps jobs before December 3rd.   GUESTS   Steve Phillips | Former Mets GM & MLB Analyst (SiriusXM / MLB Network) Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Turns 8 (Seasons), Vegas Without Gambling, and a Birthday Tour Through Sports, History… and Freddie Mercury 12:00 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 16:09 | Eddie Murphy, Clint, and a Nervy 8–3: Seahawks Survive Titans While JSN Flirts with 2,000 Yards 40:55 | GUEST: Steve Phillips; Steve Phillips on the Mariners' Game 7 Collapse, Cal Raleigh's MVP Near-Miss, and Seattle's Offseason Decisions 1:05:13 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Escape Tennessee, Move to 8–3, and Reveal Both Promise and Warning Signs in Nashville 1:27:51 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel on Washington–Oregon Stakes, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and a Wild Final Push Toward the Playoff 2:01:20 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL players spitting incidents (Jalen Carter, Jamar Chase, Jalen Ramsey, Boise State, massive fines for spitting), Mariners non-tender Gregory Santos after almost never pitching, questions about how MLB trade physicals get passed, Dodgers Game 7 World Series home run balls (Miguel Rojas, Will Smith) both caught by same father/son and later underperforming at auction, Lane Kiffin's reported choice between Ole Miss, LSU, and Florida with a 7-year $98M deal and $25M/year in NIL money, UW women's soccer upsets #1 Virginia 10v11, Belichick family blowup, Chris Paul announces plans to retire after the 25–26 season and reflects on a Hall of Fame point guard career, Boris Becker (age 58) welcomes baby daughter, Kevin Spacey claims to be essentially homeless and working as a lounge singer in Cyprus, Ace Frehley's famous smoking sunburst Les Paul goes up for auction, RIPs: Rodney Rogers — Wake Forest star and 12-year NBA forward, dies at 54, Jellybean Johnson — drummer for The Time, dies at 69, Randy "Junkman" Jones — Padres legend, dies after a long career in and around baseball, HEADLINEs: Airport bulge turns out to be two endangered parakeets, Interstate flasher "needed excitement", Two Texas men plot to invade a Haitian island and enslave everyone, Failed threesome leads woman to beat up her boyfriend, Study says Viagra may help with hearing loss.

What's the news across the nation? Ben and Dr D offer this…Congress rebukes Chuy, Brad Schneider weighs in, El Dragon breaks the Bubbagate story and Governor Pritzker has a busy week, dropping $25M on his re-election campaign, throwing Mayor Johnson's head tax under a bus and hanging with the pope. Not even the pope can save the Sox.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On today's episode I talk with my friend Jessica Lentz. She is tracking about 25M this year by keeping it simple. Become the local connector, serve first, and let the business follow. Jessica runs a hyperlocal, referral driven business that looks almost boring on paper, and that is the point. She manages her neighborhood Facebook group to connect people without constantly pushing listings, and she creates lightweight community events like "Egg Your Yard" that quietly build a clean database while giving families a fun experience. She publishes a small business directory, sponsors the local schools, and because it is close to home she hosts intentional open houses that bring neighbors through the door. A big part of her system is keeping homeowners in the loop the right way. Everyone who opts in to an event or resource gets added to Homebot, and Jessica personally dials in valuations so the monthly emails spark real conversations. The through line is consistency. The same activities, done the same way, over time. We also talk about mindset and seasons. Jessica explains why time on task beats chasing trends, why kids are the reason not the excuse, and how to stay opinionated online while still attracting your people. We talk about using social intentionally instead of doom scrolling, and giving yourself permission to slow down and get quiet when life allows it. If you want a calm, profitable blueprint to dominate your own backyard without living in your car, this episode will show you how Jessica does it and how you can adapt it to your market.

Jonathan Lynn isn't a household name, but his precision reshaped film comedy. A Cambridge satirist before Hollywood, he built jokes like arguments—logic first, chaos second. “Clue” (1985) was a $15M ensemble farce with three valid endings, a box-office flop that became a cult classic and a film-school staple. “My Cousin Vinny” (1992) turned courtroom procedure into character comedy; its $11M budget became a $64M hit, earning Marisa Tomei an Oscar and a permanent place in law-school curricula. “Trial and Error” (1997), a $25M legal farce with Jeff Daniels, Michael Richards, and early Charlize Theron, underperformed but became a cable favorite. Together, these films show Lynn's gift: ordinary people stumbling through rigid systems, revealing the absurdity underneath. In 2025, when studio comedy leans on improv and noise, Lynn's structured, intelligent approach feels like a lost art—proof that smart comedy still matters.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Ever wonder why some businesses thrive during economic chaos while others collapse? Many believe success in the trades comes from luck or endless hustle, but the truth is discipline, systems, and culture determine survival. In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with Tim O'Brien, founder of Tim O'Brien Homes, who shares how launching a homebuilding company during the Great Recession became his greatest advantage. He unpacks how faith-based principles of stewardship, integrity, and servant leadership fueled his growth from zero to $138 million. From building long-term trade partnerships and defining company values to using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) for sustainable scale, O'Brien shows how simplicity, trust, and vision create businesses that last.  Timestamps:  [00:00] Starting from Zero During a Recession [07:00] Building Brand Awareness with No Budget [11:00] Culture Before Scale [16:00] Hiring and Delegation Lessons [20:00] Communication Cadence and the EOS Revolution [27:00] The Trade Council Blueprint [33:00] Empowering Trades Through Shared Values [43:00] How to Get the Attention of a $138M General Contractor [48:00] Scaling from $25M to $138M [54:00] Simplicity, Sustainability, and Freedom of Time   Key Quotes “You can't lead from the valley; you have to get up on the hill to see what's really going on.”  “We're in the people business. We just happen to build homes.”  “Culture isn't a slogan—it's a system that decides who stays and who leaves.”  “Your best trade partners aren't your vendors, they're your collaborators.”  “Freedom of time is the ultimate wealth.”  Key Takeaways Build culture before chasing growth. Your team and trade partners should co-create values, not receive them top-down.Implement structure early. Meeting cadences and EOS frameworks prevent chaos as you scale. Prioritize long-term relationships. Treat trades and clients as collaborators in your ecosystem. Simplify annually. Audit your systems and processes to eliminate redundancy and complexity before burnout sets in.  Links Mentioned Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh: https://www.deliveringhappiness.com/  Traction by Gino Wickman: https://www.eosworldwide.com/traction  Tim O'Brien Homes: https://www.timobrienhomes.com  Contact Tim: tobrien@tobhomes.com Connect with The Better Than RichWebsite - ⁠https://www.betterthanrich.com/⁠Facebook - ⁠https://m.facebook.com/betterthanrich/⁠Instagram - ⁠https://www.instagram.com/betterthan_rich/⁠Twitter - ⁠https://mobile.twitter.com/betterthan_rich⁠TikTok - ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanrich⁠YouTube - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xXEb7rKBvkCOdtWd4tj2A⁠Linkedin - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/betterthanrich⁠

Behind every highlight reel is a messy maze of contacts, gatekeepers, and missed opportunities—until someone maps it. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Ryan Rottman, actor-turned-founder who conceived an “IMDb for athletes,” and Sean O'Brien, CEO and former CMO who scaled Modloft from ~$25M to nearly $100M and helped Kevin Costner's Autio build engineering in-house. Backed by marquee investors (including super-agent Scott Boras) and a recent CNBC debut, AthleteAgent.com centralizes accurate, validated contacts for athletes and agents across growing pro leagues. Ryan and Sean share how they're boosting deal flow for the 99% of athletes, tightening product focus, and building trust in an industry famous for being fragmented and insular.   Key Takeaways: → How a dinner with Aaron Rodgers sparked the idea for an “IMDb for athletes” → Why athlete representation and endorsement deals are so fragmented—and how they're solving it → The surprising industries subscribing to AthleteAgent (from Coca-Cola to financial advisors) → How AthleteAgent is bringing transparency, trust, and deal flow to athletes and agents → Why sports representation and endorsements are so fragmented—and how a centralized “pro LinkedIn” changes the game   Ryan Rottman is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of AthleteAgent.com, a groundbreaking sports tech platform. In his role, Ryan oversees business operations, strategic partnerships, and platform development, helping expand the site's reach across professional leagues and enhance its database of verified athlete and team contacts. Before stepping into the tech and sports business world, Ryan built a successful career in entertainment, starring in films such as Billionaire Boys Club, The Open Road, and a variety of Hallmark originals, as well as television series like 90210(CW), The Middle (ABC), and The Lying Game (ABC Family). His background in production and storytelling has been instrumental in shaping AthleteAgent.com's user experience and brand identity. Ryan combines business acumen with creative vision, bringing a unique edge to the intersection of sports, media, and tech. Sean O'Brien is a seasoned entrepreneur and executive with a track record of scaling successful ventures across multiple industries. In his early 20s, Sean co-founded a patented eCommerce company that achieved $10M in sales and was acquired after being featured as a “Product of the Year” on The View. He went on to launch The DivotCard, a Groupon-like platform for golf, which earned recognition in Inc.. By the age of 30, both startups had exits. Sean later served as CMO/CTO at Modloft, a luxury D2C furniture brand, helping scale it to nearly $100M in revenue and earning accolades from Forbes, CNN, and Architectural Digest. He also played a key role at Autio, a startup backed by Kevin Costner and other investors, which turned down a $1M offer on Shark Tank. Currently, Sean is the CEO of AthleteAgent.com and Swingzy, while also being a part-time venture capitalist at NGVP and Hustle Fund. He has studied at prestigious institutions such as Wharton, Stanford, and UC Berkeley.   Connect With Ryan Rottman and Sean O'Brien: Website: https://www.athleteagent.com/ Instagram: https://www.athleteagent.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sitting down at FermionX with Managing Director Will Patrick, we explore how a third-generation MD took a family electronics manufacturer from tribal knowledge to a data-first operation that customers can see, trust, and scale with.We start with the lineage—granddad's silkscreen craft evolving to PCBs, then assembly—and why honoring that service and customer focussed ethic made the transformation stick. Then we lift the hood on the digital rebuild: a modern MES for full traceability, powerful dashboards for top-level clarity, and smarter quality tooling including Koh Young's KSMART and Luminovo. The goal wasn't technology for its own sake; it was a single source of truth where every action leaves a data point and every decision gets faster, cleaner, and easier to audit.From there, we talk growth. By redesigning processes and floor layout, Will has created headroom to push from around £10M to £25M without stacking overhead. We break down how visibility wins contracts in the EMS world, why customers value shared dashboards and live traceability, and how a long-term, 20–30 year plan changes which investments make sense today. We also get practical about AI: exception-driven MRP alerts, machine feedback loops, and agentic systems that surface the one issue that will derail tomorrow—after, and only after, the data foundation is solid.If you care about scaling a contract manufacturer without losing your soul—or your margins—you'll find concrete steps here: where to start with MES, how to drive cultural adoption, which metrics to watch, and how to stitch tools together so operators move faster, not slower.

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.

Tezza Barton bootstrapped the Tezza app from a two-person passion project into a 25M+ download, $38M/year creative-tech brand—with just 15 employees and zero paid ads for the first four years. In this interview, Tezza breaks down the scrappy path from negative bank balances and collage kits in a 250-sq-ft apartment to building a category-defining editing app and community that creatives actually love. From community-led growth and brand-first product design to pricing pivots, lean teams, and culture-shifting collabs, you'll learn exactly how she scaled profitably while staying fan-obsessed and creatively uncompromising. What you'll learn from this interview: • How Tezza grew a bootstrapped, creator-led app to 25M+ downloads and ~$38M revenue • The community-first playbook: DMs, feedback loops, and building demand before launch • Product-led marketing: naming filters (e.g., “Wildflower”), seasonal drops, and experiential launches • Pricing and retention: recovering from a bumpy subscription rollout and increasing LTV • Why a lean, high-leverage team can out-execute bigger competitors • Collaboration strategy: pitching value, co-creating effects, and tapping partner audiences • Creative brand building: designing an app like a beauty brand, not a utility • Where AI helps (ops, grunt work) without replacing human taste, curation, and intent By the end of this interview, you'll walk away with a proven roadmap to build, market, and scale a profitable consumer app—so you can turn audience insight and great creative into durable, compounding growth SAVE 50% ON OMNISEND FOR 3 MONTHS Get 50% off your first 3 months of email and SMS marketing with Omnisend with the code FOUNDR50.

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!
