What does it mean to bring light to the darkest seasons of life and faith? In this deeply moving post-Father's Day episode, Mike Donehey, lead singer of the reunited Tenth Avenue North, shares the heart behind their new album “Learning to Trust.” As a social Type 4 married to a Type 2, Mike demonstrates the courage to go to those dark feelings, sit with them, and grapple with them honestly—both in his music and his marriage. The album, which explores “the midnight hour in a person's faith,” was born from personal family struggles, including his 12-year-old daughter hitting rock bottom with anxiety and his own journey of learning to trust God when you can't see the path ahead. Mike opens up about how their lead song “Running with You in the Dark” captures the essence of moving forward with faith through uncertain seasons, and how influences like Jay Stringer's work on sexuality and faith have shaped their music. Whether you're walking through your own dark season, supporting your spouse through difficult times, or learning what it means to trust when life feels uncertain, this conversation offers both vulnerability and hope, with beautiful songs and timeless truths to guide you through.

Amanda Wolfe built a 300K+ community from her bedroom—but that's not where her story starts. Growing up in poverty, with parents addicted to drugs, Amanda moved 12 times before sixth grade. She became the first person in her family to graduate college, only to discover that a salary alone wasn't enough to build financial security. In this candid conversation, Amanda reveals how staying at her first job for 12 years became her biggest financial mistake, how she finally doubled her income, and why most people are financially stuck—even with “good jobs.” Kendall and Amanda break down why financial literacy is the real ABCs of adulthood, and how anyone can start building true financial freedom—without waiting for the perfect moment. They unpack the toxic comfort zones keeping people stuck, why obsessing over specific financial goals changes everything, and how to prepare financially before making a career pivot. Plus, Amanda shares the unfiltered truth about side hustles, social media income myths, and why most influencers don't make real money from followers alone. In this episode, we discuss: What should you do if you feel financially behind in your 30s? How much should you really save in your emergency fund? Is it worth staying at a job just for comfort? How to overcome fear when changing jobs or negotiating salary?

How do you grow a high-margin recruitment business without hiring a big team—or chasing every lead? And what happens when you go all-in on yourself, right before a global pandemic? In this episode, I'm joined by Jordana Matsos, founder of Higher Equity, who shares how she launched a solo sales recruitment agency with no prior agency experience—and grew it into a $500K+ business by being radically transparent, highly organized, and boldly direct. We discuss why blunt messaging often works better than polished sales talk, how Jordana systematized her entire operation to run lean, and the lessons she learned after scaling too quickly. She also shares how she created an online academy for job seekers, turning inbound candidate traffic into an additional revenue stream. Episode Highlights: [03:43] From sales leader to recruiter: Jordana's career pivot [11:16] Building the business: pricing, tools, and tech stack [14:28] Leveraging video and short-form content to attract talent [21:58] What went wrong when she scaled too fast [28:45] Creating the HireQuity Academy to serve job seekers [40:46] SOPs and templates that saved time and ensured consistency [45:48] Business development: blunt pitches, smart triggers, and warm referrals [58:30] Why transparency builds trust with both clients and candidates Blunt Messaging That Converts Jordana's “blunt honesty” approach is one of her biggest differentiators. She shares full job details upfront—company name, comp, and expectations—which earns her 55–70% candidate response rates. For clients, her pitch deck goes out in the first message, including fee structure and recent placements, eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth and building immediate trust. Systematizing Solo Success Coming from a corporate sales background, Jordana knew she had to create repeatable, efficient processes. She templatized everything—from client onboarding to follow-ups and outreach. Tools like Google Sheets, Taplio, Otter.ai, and Aspect helped her automate and scale as a solo operator. Lessons from Scaling Too Fast After a strong first year billing nearly $300K solo, Jordana hired a full-time recruiter, BD rep, and sourcer. But expenses skyrocketed, margins plummeted to 20%, and client relationships suffered. She course-corrected by downsizing, letting go of low-margin clients, and doubling down on her niche—bringing her gross margins back to 60%+. Creating a Revenue Stream with Purpose Unable to serve every candidate personally, Jordana built the HireQuity Academy—an online course that gives job seekers an inside look at how recruiters think. With templates, interview prep, and real-world advice, it helps candidates stand out—and gives Jordana an additional income stream without trading time for money. About Jordana Matsos Jordana spent 15 years leading sales teams before founding Higher Equity in 2021. She now helps companies hire high-performing sales talent while running the HireQuity Academy to support job seekers.

Interview with George Salamis, President & CEO of Integra Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/integra-resources-tsxvitr-developer-transforms-into-cash-flowing-gold-producer-7094Recording date: 9th June 2025Integra Resources has successfully completed its transformation from a gold developer to a cash-flowing producer, marking a pivotal shift in the company's eight-year trajectory. The Nevada-focused mining company now operates the Florida Canyon mine, which began production six months ago and serves as the financial engine for developing two additional projects in the state's prolific Great Basin region.President and CEO George Salamis emphasizes that many institutional investors still perceive Integra as a developer rather than a producer. "The concept of Integra actually producing gold and having cash flow is new," he explains. "About two-thirds of the funds that we're meeting this week don't know Integra as a gold producer - they know Integra as a gold developer."The company controls a substantial 10 million ounce portfolio across three Nevada projects, targeting 300,000 ounces annually when all assets reach production. This scale would position Integra among mid-tier gold producers, representing a significant step-change from typical junior developer models.Florida Canyon's restart has generated impressive financial results, with $60 million in treasury and cash margins of approximately $1,000 per ounce. This financial strength enables self-funded development of the DeLamar and Nevada North projects without dilutive equity financing. "Six months ago we would have been not contemplating going fast this year on Nevada North," Salamis notes. "Now with the cash balance that we have and the money that we're generating from Florida Canyon, we can afford to go much faster."The company benefits from favorable regulatory tailwinds under the current US administration, which has designated gold as a critical mineral and promised 30-day permitting turnarounds. Integra sits among the top three projects in the US permitting queue, positioning it advantageously in a sector with limited new development opportunities.Despite operational progress, Integra trades below typical producer multiples, creating a valuation gap that management expects to close through consistent quarterly performance and market education efforts.View Integra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/integra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Jerome met Trump, Trump yelled "Cut Rates," and Powell clutched his “Data Dependent” sign like a life raft. In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil dissect the political theater behind a rare Oval Office showdown between the Fed Chair and the former President. Spoiler: Jamie Dimon's lurking in the background muttering “I told you so,” and Uncle Elon's possibly staging a PR divorce from Trump just to win back California Tesla buyers. The guys break it all down — from media optics to real economic implications — with sarcasm, stats, and side-eyes.➡️ Plus, the housing market's got more cracks than your uncle's drywall job. A record-breaking gap between sellers and buyers has the guys asking if affordability is even real anymore, or just something we say to feel better. Sprinkle in some hard truths about wage stagnation, a cameo from Saied's son Adam (who steals the show), and a breakdown of why “the American dream” now requires a $300K salary and a therapist. This one hits hard — and hits funny.
Visit today's blog post here. What happens when someone doesn't show up to my sales call? I recorded this podcast—with my sweet daughter on my lap instead. It might sound wild, but no-shows don't bug me at all. And in this episode, I'm sharing exactly why. This mindset is 100% the reason why I'm able to make money year-round, while building a sustainable heart centered business, and feeling REALLY GOOD about it. This is also the mindset that keeps so many women stuck in corporate making $75K a year feeling “good”, when they could be making $300K with half the effort—if they can just tolerate this one shift I'm going to talk about today. It's a deep conversation, so buckle your seatbelt and get ready for a breakthrough. And don't miss the fairytale my daughter and I tell at the end. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In this deeply personal episode of Money on My Mind, I walk you through the emotional and financial rollercoaster that followed what seemed like the perfect move for our family. We left everything behind to relocate for our daughter's specialized medical care—only to discover our dream home was poisoning her. A hidden mold and mycotoxin issue triggered severe health setbacks and cost us nearly $300,000 in recovery expenses. From dealing with a rare epilepsy diagnosis to losing almost all our possessions and scrambling to relocate again, this episode is a raw, transparent look at how fast life can shift. More importantly, I talk about the mindset and financial preparation that allowed us to move quickly and decisively—and how this experience completely redefined my understanding of wealth. Timeline Summary [0:00] - Why our dream home nearly destroyed our health and finances [1:10] - Our daughter's diagnosis with Dravet syndrome [1:54] - Relocating to Texas for expert care and a miraculous 8-month stretch [2:50] - Seizures return, triggering deeper investigation [4:07] - Blood and urine tests reveal shocking mold exposure [5:56] - Emergency travel to Iowa for treatment amid chaos [7:19] - Realizing we had to abandon our home and everything in it [8:52] - Financial pressure mounts as we scramble to protect our daughter [10:00] - How years of financial planning helped us weather the storm [14:04] - Losing 99% of our belongings due to contamination [15:12] - The breakdown of the $300K cost: housing, health, and recovery [16:46] - What money can't fix—and what really matters [18:46] - How this crisis reshaped my perspective on wealth [20:25] - Preventative measures we've taken to safeguard our new home [21:37] - What are you putting off that's costing you peace of mind? Key Takeaways Prepare financially for the unexpected. You never know when a crisis will hit. Building financial flexibility gave us the ability to make life-saving decisions without hesitation. Health is the real wealth. No amount of money is worth more than your family's well-being. Prioritize health investments now before you're forced to later. Don't wait for crisis to force change. If something is causing you low-grade stress or health concerns today, deal with it now—because the cost of waiting can be far greater.

But you're stuck thinking, “I only have like 347 followers and half of them are my mom's friends from book club.” Friend, this episode is about to blow your beautifully underappreciated mind. In this episode, we're talking about how to grow a small audience—and why that's actually all you need to start making real money online (yes, even if your biggest fan is still your dog's Instagram account). Here's what we get into: Why you don't need 10k followers, a viral dance reel, or a blue checkmark to get paid The moment I realized engagement > follower count (also known as “the day I stopped posting just to post”) The moment I realized engagement > follower count (also known as “the day I stopped posting just to post”) How one of my students made $300K in 10 months with no real online presence (true story, zero hype) The exact steps to growing a small, loyal, wildly profitable audience—even if you're starting from scratch And how to combine that small audience with the right digital offer to make big income moves Spoiler alert: micro-influencers (that's you!) get up to 60% more engagement than those giant accounts.

In this episode of PPC Live: The Podcast, host Anu chats with Greg Finn, co-founder of Cypress North, about the biggest mistakes he's witnessed in PPC and how they became learning opportunities. Greg shares two major f-ups: a Halloween costume company that accidentally set their monthly budget as a daily budget (spending $300K instead of $30K), and his own team's Microsoft Ads import error that sent one client's ads to a completely different advertiser's account.More importantly, Greg reveals how these disasters shaped his management philosophy and company culture, emphasizing transparency, open communication, and treating mistakes as growth opportunities rather than failures.On Mistake Management:Intent matters more than outcome - if someone is trying to do the right thing, the mistake is secondaryTransparency builds trust - own mistakes immediately, provide full documentation, and offer immediate refundsCreate processes after mistakes to prevent repetition, not punishmentOn Company Culture:Foster an environment where employees feel safe reporting mistakes immediatelyFocus on education and growth rather than perfectionTreat team members as teammates, not competitorsOn AI Usage:AI works best as an assistant, not a replacement for human creativityAvoid AI-generated content that looks obviously artificialMaintain authentic brand voice rather than relying on AI for everythingOn Conversions:"All conversions are not created equal" - optimize for sales-qualified leads, not just any conversionSync CRM systems with ad platforms to focus on actual business outcomesQuality over quantity when it comes to lead generationThe episode emphasizes that mistakes are inevitable in PPC, but how you handle them defines your success as both a marketer and a leader00:00 Introduction to PPC Live The Podcast00:50 Guest Introduction: Greg Finn of Cypress North03:01 Greg's Background and Expertise05:33 Discussing $300,000 worth and uploading to the wront account PPC Mistakes19:53 Owning Your Mistakes20:14 The Illusion of Perfection on Social Media21:42 Encouraging Open Communication in the Workplace25:44 The Importance of Team Mentality27:29 Mismanagement of Talent30:32 The Role of AI in Marketing35:03 Conclusion and Final Thoughts and LinkedInBook a coaching call with AnuPPC Live The Podcast (formerly PPCChat Roundup) features weekly conversations with paid search experts sharing their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.The next PPC Live event is on June 26th in Leeds, UKThe next PPC Live London event is July 31stFollow us on LinkedInFollow us on TwitterJoin our WhatsApp GroupSubscribe to our Newsletter
