Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Analytic Dreamz investigates the chilling September 8, 2025, discovery of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's severely decomposed remains in a bag inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising singer d4vd (David Anthony Burke, 20). Missing since April 5, 2024, from Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, the 5'1" teen with wavy black hair was last seen heading to a movie with her brother. Identified September 11 by Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, she wore a tube top, black leggings, yellow bracelet, and stud earrings—plus a "Shhh…" tattoo on her right index finger, matching d4vd's own ink, sparking intense speculation.LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division leads the ongoing homicide probe, cause of death deferred pending toxicology. The abandoned Tesla, towed from Hollywood Hills after 72+ hours on a public street (not reported stolen), belongs to d4vd among his fleet, reportedly used by multiple people. No suspects or arrests yet; d4vd, Houston-born TikTok sensation with 3.8M followers, 2M+ on Instagram, and "Romantic Homicide" surpassing 1B Spotify streams, was touring abroad on his Withered World Tour—cooperating fully with police, per reps. Seattle's September 10 show canceled; San Francisco's September 19 at The Warfield proceeds, with LA September 20 and overseas October 1 legs intact. Post-Coachella 2025 debut album buzz, backlash hits: Crocs and Hollister dropped campaign ties amid fan grief and online theories.Analytic Dreamz unpacks the tragedy's ties to d4vd's fame, family devastation—Celeste's mother flagged the tattoo match to TMZ—and LAPD calls for no speculation as forensics continue.

If you missed it live, don't worry… we've got you covered.

Most recruitment firms stall at $1M revenue. Greg Fischer broke through by building a high-retention offshore team, embedding himself inside client organizations with RPO, and using LinkedIn commenting as a smarter BD strategy. As Co-Owner of AMI Network, Greg scaled from $1M to $4.2M revenue and $1.4M profit sustaining 30–40% margins. His model: hire offshore staff directly, integrate them as equals, and use a 2:1 sourcer-to-recruiter ratio to free recruiters to bill more. Alongside that, he mastered RPO pricing, transforming a $30K placement into a $1.5M account. Today, as founder of Well Oiled Machine, Greg helps other firms replicate this approach. In this episode, he shares how to structure offshore teams for 85%+ retention, qualify RPO opportunities, and win clients through LinkedIn commenting. Episode Outline and Highlights 6:42 From solo founder's first hire to 40-person team. 7:40 Breaking the $1M ceiling with offshore hiring after failed BPOs. 12:37 Why sourcing was the first offshore function and how it lifted billings. 23:18 Landing a $50K/month RPO by reframing a client's hiring challenge. 28:07 How that grew into an $80K/month RPO account with 30–40% margins. 30:45 When to pitch RPO: the minimum job volume that makes it viable. 33:47 The “open + close” fee model that stabilized cash flow. 36:23 How a 2:1 sourcer-to-recruiter ratio frees recruiters to bill more. 39:08 Why most agencies fail with offshore—and how to do it right. 47:19 Choosing the right country: Mexico vs Philippines vs South Africa. 54:51 Greg's daily LinkedIn commenting routine that built an inbound pipeline. Key Takeaways Offshore Done Right Fuels Scale Greg's agency was stuck at $1M for four years. BPOs failed, freelancers flaked. The breakthrough came when he hired offshore staff directly, trained them thoroughly, and treated them as equals. Within three years, AMI scaled to $4M+ revenue with 30–40% profit margins and 85% retention. Offshore wasn't a cheap fix; it was the lever that freed recruiters to focus on revenue-driving work. The RPO Question That Unlocks Recurring Revenue A referral asked for an internal recruiter. Greg's partner asked: “Why now?” The answer—50 hires in six months—turned a $30K placement into a $50K/month retainer that ran three years, worth $1.5M. His rule: RPO only works with 5–10 requisitions/month and $15K+ revenue. Anything less is contingent search. Over time, he moved to an “open fee + closed fee” model that kept revenue flowing and profit margins at 30–40%. LinkedIn Strategic Commenting Works Greg built AMI Network through cold outbound. For Well Oiled Machine, he went another route: commenting daily on posts from 60 recruitment thought leaders. Thirty minutes before posting, thirty minutes after. The results? Comments hitting 20,000+ impressions—often outperforming original posts. On LinkedIn, comments are content, and for agency owners this is a repeatable, low-cost BD strategy that beats cold calling. Greg Fischer Bio and Contact Info Greg is the former Co-Owner of AMI Network, a healthcare recruitment agency that did $1.4M in Profit on just $4.2M in revenue. His secret? 18 of his 40 team members were Offshore high-performing employees, with annual retention over 85%. Now his firm, Well Oiled Machine recruits Offshore & Nearshore staff for Recruitment Firms & Staffing Agencies.

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson is joined once again by Ethan Wright from Service Scalers to answer a big question: what would you do with a million-dollar marketing budget?Together, they unpack how $1M breaks down between demand capture (LSAs, PPC, SEO, lead partners) and demand generation (TV, radio, social, branding) — and why the first priority is always the lead. John and Ethan talk about beating proven channels until they're maxed, why operators get in trouble by spreading budgets too thin, and how the fastest-growing companies scale one or two channels to $100k+ a month.You'll also hear their frameworks for deciding budget allocation, the hidden crossover between capture and brand, and the real numbers John looks at daily to keep the board full. Whether you're running $2M or $20M, this conversation shows how the principles of lead generation never change — only the scale does.

EP 259.5The cybersecurity and technology threat landscape is accelerating in scale, sophistication, and impact. A convergence of AI-driven offensive capabilities, large-scale supply chain compromises, systemic insecurity in consumer devices, corporate data abuses, and state-level spyware deployment is reshaping digital risk. At the same time, new innovations—particularly in open-source, privacy-centric AI and smart home repurposing—highlight the dual-edged nature of technological progress.AI-Accelerated ExploitsAttackers now harness generative AI to automate exploit creation, compressing timelines from months to minutes. “Auto Exploit,” powered by Claude-sonnet-4.0, can produce functional PoC code for vulnerabilities in under 15 minutes at negligible cost, fundamentally shifting defensive priorities. The challenge is no longer whether a flaw is technically exploitable but how quickly exposure becomes weaponized.Massive Supply Chain AttacksSoftware ecosystems remain prime targets. A phishing campaign against a single npm maintainer led to malware injection into packages downloaded billions of times weekly, constituting the largest supply-chain attack to date. This demonstrates how a single compromised account can ripple globally across developers, enterprises, and end users.Weaponization of Benign FormatsAttackers increasingly exploit trusted file types. SVG-based phishing campaigns deliver malware through fake judicial portals, evading antivirus detection with obfuscation and dummy code. Over 500 samples were linked to one campaign, prompting Microsoft to disable inline SVG rendering in Outlook as a mitigation measure.Systemic Insecurity in IoTLow-cost consumer devices, particularly internet-connected surveillance cameras, ship with unpatchable flaws. Weak firmware, absent encryption, bypassable authentication, and plain-text data transmission expose users to surveillance rather than security. These systemic design failures create enduring vulnerabilities at scale.Corporate Breaches and Data AbuseThe Plex breach underscored the persistence of corporate data exposure, with compromised usernames and passwords requiring resets. Meanwhile, a federal jury fined Google $425.7M for secretly tracking 98M devices despite user privacy settings—reinforcing that legal and financial consequences for privacy violations are escalating, even if damages remain below consumer expectations.Government Spyware DeploymentCivil liberties are increasingly tested by state adoption of invasive surveillance tools. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement resumed a $2M deal for Graphite spyware, capable of infiltrating encrypted apps and activating microphones. The contract proceeded after regulatory hurdles were bypassed through a U.S. acquisition of its Israeli parent company, raising alarms about due process, counterintelligence risks, and surveillance overreach.Emerging InnovationsNot all developments are regressive. Philips Hue's “MotionAware” demonstrates benign repurposing of smart home technology, transforming bulbs into RF-based motion sensors with AI-powered interpretation. Meanwhile, Switzerland's Apertus project launched an open-source LLM designed with transparency and privacy at its core—providing public access to weights, training data, and checkpoints, framing AI as digital infrastructure for the public good.The digital environment is marked by intensifying threats: faster, cheaper, and more pervasive attacks, systemic insecurity in consumer technologies, corporate and governmental encroachments on privacy, and the weaponization of formats once considered harmless. Yet, the emergence of open, privacy-first AI and the creative repurposing of consumer tech illustrate parallel efforts to realign innovation with security and transparency. The result is a complex, high-velocity ecosystem where defensive strategies must adapt as quickly as offensive capabilities evolve.Conclusion

Today, we dissect Little Farm Story Idle Tycoon — SayGames' latest farming-idle hybrid that feels like a mashup of Dreamdale, My Perfect Hotel, and Idle Breaker.Key insights:Gameplay Loop:Clearing grass → unlocking fields → harvesting → selling resources.Heavy reliance on ads for progression (resources, boosts, even eggs).“Annoyance monetization”: progress gates force you to watch ads or buy “No Ads” pack.Monetization:~$67–70K/day in revenue.~53% from ads, ~47% from IAP.Ad breakdown: ~$24K rewarded, ~$10K interstitials, ~$500–700 from banners (“why bother?”).“Remove Ads” pack is likely the top IAP — players pushed into it by frustration.Design Choices:Map expands with resource conversions (tomatoes → ketchup, chickens → eggs, wood → upgrades).Inventory/capacity upgrades disguised as RPG-like gear, but tied to ad rewards.Cosmetic shop + IAP items scattered on map.UA & Creatives:Ads mirror Township / Playrix resource ads and Century Games' UA tricks (suction devices, backpacks).Low-poly art style keeps CPIs down, but LTVs capped.Playables + AI-generated UGC, but “Township-from-Wish” vibe.Heavy interstitial cross-promo inside SayGames portfolio (even multiple in a row).Market & Scaling:Currently SayGames' #1 title by IAP revenue.~$2M monthly run rate, growing but not viral like Dreamdale or My Perfect Hotel.Audience skew: ~63% US revenue, Tier 1 heavy.Takeaway: Little Farm Story is a polished ad-driven idle hybrid, but its top IAP being “Remove Ads” caps its growth potential.PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Bart sits down with co-founder John Koborowski to rapid-fire update the portfolio—especially assets tied to Neighborhood Ventures' Opportunistic Fund: Asset #1 (acquired Jan ‘25): Occupancy jumped from 72% → 85%+ as tenant quality improved and maintenance was brought in-house; Google reviews surged from ~2.5★ to 5★ under on-site leadership. Venture on 52nd (closed mid-March): Now 94% occupied with 12 new leases and 15 renewals trending to market. Light CapEx (sound-dampening doors on Thomas-facing units, new semi-private patios) is boosting NOI and rental appeal. Venture on 12th Place: Strategic refinance converted $2M debt → $2M equity, locking in fixed financing and positioning a well-renovated, high-occupancy asset for a stronger hold. Venture on Maryland (under contract): 78 units in Central Phoenix at a compelling basis with lender-backed reno dollars; plan is staged interior upgrades and bringing ~$1,100 one-beds toward ~$1,500 market rents. Venture on Country Club: City-driven life-safety upgrades (sprinklers, egress, signage) slated to start September with tenants in place—stabilizing operations in a “buy-don't-sell” market. Clear takeaways: disciplined ops, targeted CapEx, and cycle-aware buying are driving occupancy, NOI, and long-term positioning across the NV portfolio.

On this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, the team introduces Venture on Maryland, a 78-unit multifamily property in Central Phoenix acquired at a significant discount. Purchased for $10.7M (down from $17M in 2022), the property will undergo $2M in renovations to modernize units and boost rental demand in one of Phoenix's most desirable neighborhoods. Jason and Heidi walk through how NV sourced the deal, why the seller was motivated, and how strong lender alignment secured favorable loan terms—including 100% of renovation costs financed. They also share the renovation strategy, timeline, and exit plan, while explaining how this acquisition fits into the broader Opportunistic Fund alongside other distressed assets. For investors, it's a behind-the-scenes look at why now is the time to buy in Phoenix's multifamily market—and how NV executes its buy-renovate-stabilize strategy for long-term value.

What happens when growth changes a company?We've all seen it—your favorite restaurant expands and suddenly the quality slips. The connection feels lost. But does growing always mean losing what made you special?At Root, we think about growth differently. We use “anti-goals” to define what we never want to become, with checks in place so expansion never overshadows client experience or team wellbeing. That's why we recently lowered our minimum investment from $2M to $1M. It wasn't a quick decision. It came after expanding our team to ensure service stays exceptional.Like Patagonia, we measure success by more than profit. For us, it's about advisor engagement, client satisfaction, and building a place where our team wakes up energized to serve.If you're curious how companies can grow without losing their soul, we'd love to hear what brands you feel most connected to and why. - Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

News and Updates: Waymo begins robotaxi testing in New York City, deploying up to eight vehicles in Manhattan and Brooklyn with safety drivers until Sept. 2025. While Alphabet hails it as a milestone, critics like former mayor Bill de Blasio and union leaders slam the move as unsafe and job-killing. DOT insists safety rules will keep pedestrians protected. Waymo is eyeing Dallas, DC, and Miami for 2026 after logging 10M+ rides nationwide. IRS offers EV buyers last-minute relief ahead of the Sept. 30 sunset of the $7,500 federal tax credit under Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Buyers only need a signed contract and payment in place by the deadline—delivery can come later. Newly eligible models for 2025 include Tesla Cybertruck, Kia EV6/EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 5/9, and Cadillac Vistiq. Losers include Rivian, Nissan Leaf, VW ID.4, and Chevy Bolt. Melania Trump is rebranded the “First Lady of Technology” by the NY Post, launching the Presidential AI Challenge for K-12 students. Inspired by her own use of a deepfake to narrate her audiobook, she says AI can “ignite innovation” in schools. The contest offers up to $10,000 prizes and national recognition in June 2026. Critics point to risks of kids bonding with AI chatbots—72% of teens already use them, some with disturbing outcomes. Data centers face growing backlash over water use. A Lawrence Berkeley Lab report warns U.S. facilities consumed 17B gallons of cooling water in 2023, projected to double or quadruple by 2028. Google and Meta disclosed that ~95% of their water use comes from data centers. Communities in the Great Lakes, Texas, and abroad are raising alarms as companies eye water-stressed regions to build AI server farms. Google shares first-ever environmental footprint of Gemini AI prompts. A single text query uses the energy of watching TV for 9 seconds, five drops of water, and emits 0.03g of CO₂—33x more efficient than last year thanks to software and renewable energy. However, the report excludes image/video generation and AI training. DOE projects U.S. data centers could eat up to 12% of electricity by 2028. Bloomberg warns AI is draining water in drought zones. Roughly two-thirds of new U.S. data centers since 2022 are in high water-stress areas, including Texas and Arizona. A 100MW facility consumes 2M liters daily—equal to 6,500 households. Microsoft and OpenAI are experimenting with closed-loop and immersion cooling, but most of the industry still relies on water-intensive evaporative cooling. Protests have erupted in Chile, the Netherlands, and Uruguay over water use.

Freedom by Design: How to Build a Profitable Business That Serves Your Life with Michael Walsh   Most entrepreneurs start their journey with the dream of freedom—yet many quickly find themselves trapped by the very businesses they built. Revenue grows, responsibilities pile up, and the joy of entrepreneurship fades into overwhelm. In this Episode of the Profit Answer Man, I sat down with Michael Walsh, founder of the Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design, to unpack how business owners can create companies that support—not suffocate—their lives. Michael has spent over 30 years guiding business owners through the predictable “danger zones” of growth. His message is clear: profit and freedom come when you design your business around your life, not the other way around.   Key Insights from Michael Walsh:  Business Must Serve Life, Not Just Profit. Too many owners chase revenue milestones—$1M, $5M, $10M—only to find bigger problems waiting at each stage. Michael warns: if profit is your only motivator, satisfaction will always elude you. The companies that thrive long-term are those designed to support the owner's life and impact. Reflection: Is your business structured to fuel your life's goals—or is your life revolving around your business? Growth Brings Predictable “Danger Zones”. Michael outlined the common revenue milestones where owners hit walls: $1M–$1.2M → the “zone of hell” where you're too big for DIY systems but too small to afford enterprise solutions. $5M and $10M → structures and systems must evolve or growth stalls. $12M–$20M → the toughest chasm, where people complexity and outdated processes collide. Takeaway: Each new level requires reinventing systems, structures, and leadership—not just “working harder.” Systems Alone Don't Scale—People Do. Rocky and Michael both love spreadsheets, but Michael cautions: numbers tell the story, but people drive the result. A well-designed business empowers its people to excel rather than constraining them with rigid systems. Reflection: Are your processes freeing your team to use their strengths—or boxing them in like cogs in a machine? Freedom Comes from Teamwork, Not Control. Michael stresses that leaders must shift from command-and-control to building intelligent ecosystems. True management is about helping people think, thrive, and work together. When teams are supported—not micromanaged—2+2 can equal 6. Question: How much time do you spend training people how to work together, not just what to do? The Future Belongs to the Creative Business Owner. AI is transforming the business landscape, but Michael warns that owners who outsource thinking to machines lose their edge. The next era isn't the Information Age—it's the Age of Creativity. Those who combine human insight with AI tools will thrive. Action Step: Don't fear AI—learn to use it as a creative partner to free you up for high-value problem solving.   Key Takeaways:  Profit Alone Won't Bring Fulfillment. Chasing revenue milestones without purpose leads to burnout. Businesses built around life goals—not just profit—create more satisfaction and sustainability. Growth Has Predictable “Danger Zones”. Each revenue milestone ($1M, $5M, $10M, $20M) comes with hidden challenges. Systems, structures, and leadership must evolve at every stage, or growth will stall. Systems Must Support People—Not Control Them. Processes should free your team to use their strengths, not box them in like cogs. Businesses thrive when systems empower people to excel. Freedom Comes Through Teams, Not Micromanagement. Leaders must shift from command-and-control to cultivating intelligent ecosystems. Strong teamwork multiplies results and creates freedom for owners. The Next Age is Creativity, Powered by AI. AI won't replace entrepreneurs—but those who creatively combine human judgment with AI tools will have a massive advantage in the years ahead.   About Michael Walsh: Michael Walsh is the founder of the Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design: The Business Owner's Guide to Grow, Make an Impact, and Find Joy Again. For over 30 years, he has helped business owners in Canada, the U.S., and Europe scale profitably by aligning their companies with their life goals.   Links: Website: http://www.walshbusinessgrowth.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-walsh/   Conclusion: Freedom in business isn't about hitting the next revenue milestone—it's about designing a company that grows with you, supports your lifestyle, and empowers your team. Michael Walsh reminds us that profit follows purpose, systems must evolve with scale, and people—not spreadsheets—ultimately drive success. As the business landscape shifts into the age of creativity, those who align vision, systems, and people while leveraging tools like AI will unlock both profitability and freedom. Your business should give you life, not take it away. The choice to design it that way is yours.   Richer Soul Ep 440 The AI Driven Leader with Geoff Woods: https://richersoul.com/?s=Geoff+Woods   #ProfitFirst #BusinessGrowth #FinancialFreedom #SmartScaling #EntrepreneurLife #BusinessStrategy #LeadershipMatters #CashFlowFix #PurposeDrivenBusiness #CreativeEntrepreneur   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!
