Title: Why High Earners Stay Broke (and How to Escape the W-2 Trap) with Rich Fettke Summary: On this episode of Raise the Bar Radio, Seth Bradley welcomes Rich Fettke, co-founder of Real Wealth, to share his incredible journey from a life-threatening cancer scare to building a real estate empire. Rich explains how his wife's pivot to real estate investing during his health crisis led to the creation of Real Wealth, which has since helped over 70,000 members acquire more than $1.2 billion in assets. Together, Seth and Rich dive deep into the mindset shift required to escape the grind, the importance of clarity and vision, and why hard assets like real estate are the key to sustainable wealth, freedom, and major tax advantages — especially for high-income professionals like attorneys and doctors. Rich also breaks down the difference between passive and active investing, explaining how Real Wealth offers vetted markets and property teams for investors who want a more hands-off experience. He shares insights from his book The Wise Investor, which is designed to inspire readers to take control of their financial futures through compelling storytelling. Wrapping up, Seth and Rich emphasize the power of passive income in creating freedom, reducing stress, and ultimately living life on your own terms without sacrificing health, family, or personal passions.

Andrew bootstrapped Wrike and grew it from 0 to a $2.2B exit by doing the exact opposite of what every startup book tells you. No pivots. No talking to customers before launch. No narrow niche. Just 17 years of relentless focus on one problem while everyone else was pivoting every 18 months. In this episode, he breaks down exactly why bootstrapping saved his company (and why VC would have killed it), why he ignored customer development and just built in a bunker, and how manning the support phones himself became his secret product development weapon. Now building Zencoder (AI coding agents), he shares why the future isn't about replacing developers but making every human "superhuman" at their job. This is mandatory listening for any founder questioning conventional startup wisdom.Why You Should Listen:Grew to $2.2B with no pivots for 17 years while competitors kept "failing fast"How he doubled revenue every year from $0 to $100M+ ARRWhy manning support phones himself was better than any customer development processWhy copycats helped Wrike grow fasterThe future of AI agentsKeywords:Wrike, Andrew Filev, bootstrapping, 2 billion exit, product market fit, SaaS, Zencoder, AI coding agents, no pivot strategy, collaboration software00:00:00 Intro00:03:30 Moving to Silicon Valley from Russia to build for millions00:10:06 Going all-in after previous side projects failed00:11:27 Why he never pivoted once in 17 years00:18:47 Launching without talking to customers first00:24:12 Manning support phones and discovering the real roadmap00:29:01 When Microsoft Project, Basecamp, and Jira were the competition00:34:31 The only job definition—double the business every year00:54:16 Why Developers won't be replaced, and become superhuman01:01:57 The $2.2B exit and making employees' dreams come true01:04:36 Finding product-market fit at Zencoder vs Wrike01:06:55 Focus on people—everything traces back to themSend me a message to let me know what you think!

Are you building your customer data strategy around your goals, or are your goals constrained by your data platform? Agility in today's marketing technology landscape isn't just about speed—it's about flexibility. Brands need data architectures that adapt to their needs, not the other way around. And with the right approach, that agility can fuel personalization, better customer outcomes, and real business value. Today we're going to talk about composable customer data platforms and how AI is enhancing decision-making to increase customer lifetime value.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Tejas Monahar, co-CEO and co-Founder of Hightouch.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1119: Ford's factory revamp signals a new EV era, GM doubles down on autonomy without the taxi business, and AI takes over lesson plans as teachers lean into technology's potential.Show Notes with links:Ford will invest $2B to transform its Louisville, KY plant into a high-efficiency hub for an affordable, tech-packed electric pickup—aiming to rival low-cost Chinese EVs when it launches in 2027.The new process cuts parts count by 20% with large single-piece aluminum castings.Parallel assembly lines replace traditional conveyors, boosting efficiency by 15%.Lighter, shorter wiring harnesses save weight and simplify assembly.Ergonomic workstations improve build quality while reducing labor strain.“This is a bold and difficult undertaking to compete with the best in the world,” said Doug Field, Ford's Chief EV & Digital Systems Officer.From Cliff Banks on LinkedIn “One tiny fact -- that is big news, in our opinion -- that came out of Ford's second earnings call: Ford reduced the per-vehicle loss on its EVs from $44k to $22k last quarter. Keep that up, and its Model E division will be profitable much faster than expected.”After shutting down its Cruise robotaxi unit, GM is reigniting its autonomous ambitions—this time targeting personal-use driverless cars instead of fleet services.The new program starts with hands-free, eyes-free driving while a human is in the vehicle, progressing toward fully driverless capability.Sterling Anderson, former Tesla Autopilot chief is building a team by hiring new talent and inviting former Cruise employees back.GM is deploying lidar-equipped, human-driven test vehicles to log data and train simulation models that guide development.On GM's Q2 earnings call, CEO Mary Barra named autonomous tech, expanding the domestic supply chain, and battery innovation as “our clear priorities.”Three years after ChatGPT's public debut, many K-12 educators are moving from banning generative AI to using it as a tool for critical thinking, creativity, and tailored instruction.About 60% of teachers now use AI for lesson planning, grading, and parent communication, saving an average of 5.9 hours weekly.Early bans led students to hide AI use; now some districts are forming committees to guide ethical adoption.Teachers also use AI for individualized lessons, translation, accessibility, and real-world project design.Concerns remain about bias, privacy, and over-reliance, but advocates say benefits outweigh risks when guardrails are in place.“Educators are starting to realize that AI isn't going away—and that it's better to teach their students how to use it, rather than leave them to their own devices,” said a Drexel University professor.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
