New details have emerged about Kawhi Leonard's controversial exit from the Toronto Raptors in 2019, and it's shaking up the NBA! Reports reveal that Leonard's camp, led by his uncle Dennis Robertson, allegedly made "absurd" demands, including a $10-15M no-show endorsement deal, part ownership of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and more. These requests mirror the ongoing NBA investigation into Leonard's $28M "no-show" deal with the Clippers.#KawhiLeonard #TorontoRaptors #NBAScandal #Clippers #nba2025

We talk to the man of the hour - PABLO TORRE joins the show to further explain his findings and Kap asks some great questions, including what could this mean for Kawhi and the Clippers?

Kidoz Inc. (TSXV: KDOZ | OTCQB: KDOZF) is scaling its mobile gamer engagement platform, serving America's blue-chip brands such as LEGO, Mattel and McDonald's.The company has delivered CAD $57M in revenue over the last three years (2022–2024) and reported record first-half 2025 revenue of $7.28M, reinforcing its strong growth trajectory.“Kidoz has recorded the highest first-half revenue in the Company's history, and we are confident that H2 will put us into record territory for the year.” said Jason Williams, CEO.WHY THIS MATTERS NOWAs regulators tighten rules on data use for minors, brands need scale without personal data. Kidoz operates a Google-certified, Apple-approved network that reaches over 1 billion mobile gamers worldwide across tens of thousands of apps, providing safe, high-impact access for leading brands including LEGO, Mattel, and McDonald's.COMMERCIAL MOMENTUMBuilding on $57M over the past three years, Kidoz is accelerating growth through Q2 Sales & Marketing, increasing spending by 95% YoY and non-capitalized R&D by 48% YoY to strengthen product and pipeline while maintaining disciplined execution.PRODUCT ADVANTAGEThe platform's Kite IQ engine enables contextual targeting in real time, matching ads to game and app environments without relying on personal data. This supports both performance and compliance objectives for global advertisers.THE OPPORTUNITYMobile gaming is a global pastime, yet brand ad spend in the channel remains early relative to audience size. With scale, safety credentials, and new AI-driven tools, Kidoz is positioned to convert agency tests into larger, multi-market programs.Bottom Line: Kidoz has established itself as a leader in safe mobile gamer engagement. The combination of record H1 revenue, blue-chip partnerships and continued investment in sales and technology underpins a strong case for growth.

Aaron has built BRĒZ in public, posting monthly breakdowns of the company's financials, subscriber counts, customer acquisition costs, and more.In this episode, Aaron shares:Why BRĒZ is a functional platform, not just a THC beverage — and why that distinction mattersHow the brand scaled to 8 million cans and achieved $28M in revenue in less than 24 monthsWhy DTC was the launchpad — but retail is now the growth engineThe inside story behind BRĒZ's formulation, branding, and “ancient-future” designHow Aaron uses his background as founder of Lucyd, the largest cannabis advertising agency, to win on Meta, TikTok Shop, and AmazonWhy audience psychographics > demographics — and how BRĒZ appeals across generationsThe playbook behind Total Wine sellouts, 87% DTC revenue, and hitting 10,000+ subscribersLast Call: Join Caroline, Scott, and Erica as we dive into the Areni Global report, Rethinking Wine Education, to unpack the massive gap between what's taught in formal wine certifications — and what the modern wine industry actually needs.Don't miss our next episode, dropping on April 16.For the latest updates, follow us:For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Man Says He Visited Heaven, Met Jesus During Near-Death Experience Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/3FQmcCFZ8Ng?si=x4U0Eezqh21CuDDg CBN News 2.28M subscribers 123,685 views May 16, 2024 Randy Kay's "afterlife" experience still leaves him visibly emotional as he recounts details of visiting heaven, meeting Jesus, and returning to share his harrowing journey. Kay, author of the book, "Heaven Stormed: A Heavenly Encounter Reveals Your Assignment in the End Time Outpouring and Tribulation," told CBN News he was once a denier of near-death experience claims — until he faced his own purported heaven journey. He recalled his own afterlife experience, which began with a sore calf. At first, he thought he had strained a muscle, but while working out and going on a bike ride, his calf began to swell. "I was able to make it back home and then went to the doctor to get an anti-inflammatory prescription, and lo and behold, when I pressed my heel into the floor as the doctor had suggested, I collapsed," Kay said. "And I was rushed to the emergency room." It turns out, the pain and swelling were due to seven blood clots that had formed. He then contracted Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacteria. "The doctor said I was a walking dead man," Kay said. "And then the septic shock which entered into my body caused a traffic jam in my vessels, my vascular system." The chaos landed Kay in a dire situation — one that he believes sent him to heaven. "Everything went dark initially and the next moment of recall, I was looking down on my body," he said. "I was being pulled by this light. I know that sounds cliche, almost, but it's absolutely true." Kay continued, "I was in a kind of very vague, ethereal space initially where I saw these figures in front of me, and they were warring against each other. There's no other way of putting it." After his return from his after-death experience, Kay discerned he was watching spiritual warfare play out. Regardless of what people choose to believe, Kay's physical body was dead at this point, making these memories and claims quite fascinating. "My heart had stopped," he said, noting that hospital records indicate he was clinically dead for 30 minutes and 49 seconds. During that time, Kay believes he was experiencing heaven, noting he was aware that her was himself but suddenly was seeing and visualizing the world quite differently. "I was seeing things, hearing things beyond which I would be able to do otherwise in my body," he said.

Episode Summary: It's Episode 105, and I'm calling this the Tony Womack episode—a tribute to a player I got to know personally while he was coaching my son's high school team. Womack brought incredible energy to the game, and I hope this episode captures some of that as we dive into all things Cubs. The Cubs are off to a hot 9-2 start in spring training, and while wins don't mean much in March, it's been exciting to see young players step up. Today, I tackle a listener mailbag, covering everything from bullpen battles, underrated hitters, and the Cubs' roster depth, to whether the front office made the right moves this offseason. Plus, I'm giving away five Cubs PS Plus hats to some lucky listeners! Key Topics Covered:

Interview with Eric Zaunscherb, Chairman & CEO of GR SilverOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gr-silver-mining-tsx-v-grsl-time-to-restructure-and-rebuild-3878Recording date: 29th of November, 2024GR Silver Mining (TSXV:GRSL) is poised to capitalize on the resurgence of Mexico's mining industry under the new administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum. With its flagship Plomosas silver project in Sinaloa, strengthened balance sheet, and strategic vision for consolidation, GR Silver offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain leveraged exposure to rising silver prices.The Plomosas project encompasses the past-producing Plomosas mine and the highly prospective San Marcial area. The Plomosas mine, which boasts 7.4 km of underground development, is fully permitted and represents a near-term monetization opportunity through a potential partnership. However, the real excitement lies in San Marcial, where GR Silver has delineated a 134 Moz silver equivalent resource across indicated and inferred categories.San Marcial hosts a unique geological model with wide, high-grade silver mineralization in hydrothermal breccias and feeder structures. Drilling highlights, like the 102m intercept grading 308 g/t Ag, showcase the potential for further resource growth. GR Silver's geological team, led by President and COO Marcio Fonseca, is confident in the potential for low-cost, bulk underground mining at the project.Over the past year, GR Silver has executed an impressive financial turnaround, eliminating a $28M working capital deficit by divesting a non-core asset. The company now has positive working capital, no debt, and a modest cash balance to resume exploration. Management is confident in its ability to raise additional funds as needed, given the compelling investment thesis.Beyond exploration, GR Silver is actively seeking opportunities to participate in the ongoing consolidation of the Mexican silver industry. The company's ideal acquisition target would have existing production, a development-stage project, and exploration upside. With a disciplined approach to M&A and a focus on value creation, GR Silver is well-positioned to build a leading silver company in the region.The macro backdrop for silver is also highly supportive, with demand from the solar industry expected to grow from 16% to 19% of total supply in 2024. As Mexico's new government takes a more pragmatic approach to mining, the combination of rising silver prices and increased investor interest should drive a re-rating of GR Silver's valuation. Currently trading at just $0.65/oz in the ground, in line with Mexican peers, the company offers an attractive entry point for investors seeking exposure to the silver space.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gr-silver-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The two brothers running it are looking to exit, though one may stay on for a transition.Thanks to this week's sponsor:Acquisition Lab and their team have been longtime supporters of the pod.Acquisition Lab exists to help people buy a business and navigate all the complexities of the process, as well as provide a trusted framework, tools, and resources to support you from search to close.If you are serious about buying a business, check out acquisitionlab.com or email the Lab's director Chelsea Wood, chelsea@buythenbuild.com and mention us ;) At A GlanceBusiness Type: Theatrical supply and constructionLocation: WisconsinRevenue: $28M (2024 projected)EBITDA: $1.3M (2024 projected)Employees: 74Established: 1981Customer Base: Theaters, casinos, schools, TV studios, and theme parksOwners: Two brothers, one ready to fully retireWhat We Thought:Red FlagsInconsistent EBITDA over the years—especially the 2020 peak during COVID.Margins are razor thin for a business with $28M revenue.Large employee headcount could be a drag on profitability.Owners possibly running personal expenses through the business.Inventory management could be difficult with old or obsolete equipment.Green FlagsStrong, diversified customer base, from casinos to schools and theme parks.The business is rebounding after COVID, with steady revenue projections.Potential for growth with AV companies needing high-end lighting and rigging.One owner is open to staying on for a smooth transition.The VerdictMichael likes the business and thinks it's the right type of specialty contracting company, but there's likely something odd under the hood. The inconsistencies in EBITDA and odd financial behavior raise red flags. Heather gives it a thumbs down, particularly from a lender's perspective, as the unpredictable margins and unclear financials would make financing a nightmare.Subscribe to weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking here Do you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?
