This week, Nachi Gordon sits down with philanthropists Yossi Hoch and Simcha Shain to talk about the world of tzedakah, from the pressure donors carry to the changing psychology of giving. They open up about what has shifted since their parents' generation, how technology and platforms like Charidy have reshaped fundraising, and why some of the most established organizations now struggle to compete with flashier, newer causes. Along the way they share candid stories about donors who quietly write six figure checks and others who give up their Shabbos soda money, and why both matter equally. The conversation turns personal as Yossi and Simcha discuss the hidden shame that comes with losing the ability to give, the toll of unfulfilled pledges, and what it really means to give with a full heart rather than a full wallet. They also dig into Shuvu, the organization educating thousands of children across Israel, including former hostage Bar Kuperstein, and share the story of how each of them first got involved. It's a wide ranging, honest look at what tzedakah costs, what it gives back, and why every dollar, no matter the size, counts.

Rent To Retirement: Building Financial Independence Through Turnkey Real Estate Investing
In this special episode, Rent To Retirement founder Zach LeMaster joins the Lifestyle Dentist Podcast to share how he went from practicing optometry to building a real estate portfolio that ultimately gave his family financial independence.Zach shares how he and his wife used rental real estate to gradually replace their active income, giving them the freedom to continue practicing healthcare because they enjoy it—not because they financially have to. The conversation explores passive income, long-term wealth creation, real estate tax advantages, cost segregation, leverage, and how busy professionals can invest without turning real estate into another full-time job.
We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.He manages $1.5 billion for other people — and still tracks his own spending in a paper checkbook.Glenn Ullmann is a former Air Force pilot who left the military at 29 with a couple hundred thousand dollars, cold-called 200 strangers a day out of a Ponte Vedra phone book, and built Ullmann Wealth Partners into a $1.5 billion RIA that has never had a down year — including 2008. He stopped worrying about money somewhere north of $20 million. Now 63, he spends $30–40K a month, flies his own $1.25M Cirrus, gives more to charity than he can deduct, and still shows up to the office every day.This episode gets into the tension between saving and actually living: why Glenn tells clients with health issues to fly private before their kids do it with the inheritance, how a $10M portfolio pays you $300K a year in "rent" whether markets are up or down, and why he thinks stocks are a bad word. We also cover how he gave up 80% of his own firm to keep his partners, the paper ledger that runs his life, the client who started at $100 a month and now takes the best trips on earth, and why he'd tell a 20-year-old to study English or history instead of finance.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public."

Side Hustle with Soul | BUSINESS | ENTREPRENEURSHIP | PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT | CREATING A SIDE HUSTLE
Episode Description What if choosing a niche isn't limiting your freedom—but actually the thing that could help you make more money? In this episode, Dielle Charon kicks off her Million Dollar Niche series by sharing how niching down took her from making $10K as a life and career coach to $40K as a side hustle coach, $300K as a general business coach, and eventually millions of dollars as a sales coach for women of color. She breaks down why a niche is simply a specialty—not a cage or an identity—and why getting more specific helped her grow her audience, get clients better results, and make more sales. Dielle also gets into the deeper reason so many entrepreneurs resist choosing a niche: making a decision can feel like giving up the freedom you became an entrepreneur to have. She shares why your resistance to niching may have nothing to do with your business, why constantly changing what you sell can create uncertainty for buyers, and how becoming a more decisive business owner can help you finally move forward. This is Part 1 of the Million Dollar Niche series. If you've been stuck between multiple niches, afraid you'll choose the wrong one, or wondering whether you even need a niche anymore, start here.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Monday's session in the Lindsay Clancy trial belonged to the defense, as attorney Kevin Reddington took apart prosecution rebuttal witness Dr. Avram Mack piece by piece. Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense rests on an insanity argument built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington's cross covered a lot of ground fast. He brought up past cases where Mack was found not credentialed enough to testify, then asked about money — Mack said expert testimony nets him several hundred thousand dollars a year. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he'd exhibited it evaluating Clancy; Mack said no. Mack testified his own evalua
Dr. Derek Williams paid off $300,000 in dental school student loans within twelve months of graduating — then got accused of faking it. In this episode, he addresses every criticism head-on and walks through exactly how it happened. Fresh out of dental school in 2016, Derek bought a practice doing $570K at 50% overhead after evaluating close to 100 practices. In his first year of ownership, he nearly doubled production to $1.3 million — not through one big move, but through hundreds of small operational decisions: fixing the practice's visibility with a digital sign, going comprehensive with patient care, training an underdeveloped team, and bringing extractions, grafting, and implants in-house. He's honest about the cost, too — the emotional weight of a brutal first three-to-six months, dropping his daughter at a new school with no friends or family nearby, and questioning whether he could even do it. Derek also breaks down the tax timing that freed up early cash flow, the psychology behind choosing to pay off debt over investing, and how he rolled the momentum into real estate. The takeaway: paying off the loans wasn't his best investment — learning to build an exceptional practice was. The debt disappearing was just the first visible result.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing insanity, pointing to postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.If Wednesday morning belonged to the defense, the afternoon belonged to the prosecution — and they came in swinging at the credibility of Dr. Paul Zeizel, the defense's clinical psychologist. The cross started with his resume, with prosecutors pressing on whether his past evaluations were done for the Commonwealth or for defense teams, then landing on a number designed to stick: roughly $300,000 a year in fees for his consulting work. From there it got more specific. Zeizel testified that when he first met with Clancy, he let her use his phone to call her husband — and that when she made that call, she didn't ask about her children. The prosecution also zeroed in on the voices Clancy reportedly heard, which she allegedly described to family, to Patrick, and to a hospital chaplain, but apparently never mentioned to any of her actual treating psychological professionals. And then came the hospital records — notes from Tewksbury pulled from the anniversaries that would gut anyone: her kids' birthdays, the date of the killings. Pleasant. Participating in activities. Taking her medication. No self-injurious behavior. Make of that what you will. The prosecution closed by accusing Zeizel of bias, pointedly referring to Clancy as "his patient."Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened and now lives in Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

DEATS with Deanna: Discussions around Food & Entrepreneurship
What if the business you're building could make more money, create a bigger impact, and give you more freedom with your family? When Megan joined my Online Entrepreneur Academy, she was working full-time as a dietitian for first responders while building a side business that had already started gaining traction. But there was no real structure behind it. She was creating offers, speaking, and making money, but she knew that if she wanted to turn her side hustle into something bigger, she needed support, strategy, and a vision for what the business could actually become. In this episode, Megan shares how she went from making $35K in her side business to $55K, then $85K, $175K, and now being on track for a $300K year. We talk about the decision to leave a six-figure full-time job, why she waited until the timing and finances were right, and the shifts that helped her move from $6K months to $25K–$30K months. Megan also opens up about being diagnosed with autism as an adult and how understanding her neurodivergence changed the way she approaches business. Instead of forcing herself into strategies that drain her, we've built around her strengths, created stronger boundaries, and found marketing and sales strategies that actually work for the way she operates. We also break down how she diversified beyond traditional one-on-one coaching through speaking, workshops, digital training products, brand partnerships, and B2B contracts. Megan shares why having an incredibly specific niche helped her become a sought-after expert, how she turned speaking engagements into content that builds authority, and why she's now thinking beyond being a dietitian and stepping into the role of CEO. In this episode, I cover: How Megan grew her side business from $35K to being on track for $300K a year Why she continued investing in coaching even after her business started making significant money How her adult autism diagnosis changed the way she works and runs her business Why you don't have to force yourself into marketing strategies that work against your strengths How Megan knew when it was finally time to leave her six-figure full-time job Why she built a financial cushion before making the leap into full-time entrepreneurship The content and sales shifts that helped take her from $6K months to $25K–$30K months How a highly specific niche helped Megan build authority and create opportunities Why speaking became one of the biggest revenue streams in her business How she diversified her income beyond one-on-one coaching Why building a product suite can create opportunities to move clients up and down your offers The difference between thinking like a practitioner and thinking like a CEO Why reinvesting in coaching, specialists, and support has been essential to her growth How Megan is building a business that could eventually become an agency and create jobs for other dietitians Why consistent "messy reps" matter more than waiting until you have everything figured out How entrepreneurship has given Megan more flexibility and time with her daughter What she's changing as she works toward a $500K year and, ultimately, a seven-figure business Connect with Megan: Instagram: @rescue.rd Website: https://www.rescuerd.com/ Listen to our previous episode: Landing Speaking Gigs and Breakdown of an $85k Year To receive my weekly newsletter with more business, marketing, and entrepreneurship insights, send me the word "newsletter" in a DM.

Amy and Deanna recap The Valley reunion part two and a fiery Next Gen NYC episode. They discuss Jesse and Lacey's dynamic, Jesse's reaction to learning Lacey won't financially support him, and Andy pressing Jesse about a $300K loan and unpaid insurance, with Michelle calling him out using texts and sharing she felt abandoned after having a baby. They touch on Zach still lacking furniture and speculate about cast pay and representation costs, plus Lala and Randall co-parenting via a “high conflict” app. They break down Kristen and Luke's troubled relationship, Luke's desire to leave LA, and his reported message about doing Watch What Happens Live without Kristen. On Next Gen, they note heavy fourth-wall breaking around BravoCon, Deanna's background cameo at a restaurant, Ava/Rachel Roy, Georgia/Charlie/Amira fallout, and Ariana choosing to sit with Liam on a flight.This episode is sponsored by:TUMBLEMachine Washable Rugs, Made Better.

In this packed episode, host Jeff opens with his regular word-of-the-day game, then dives into a long-form discussion about the controversial Candace Owens vs. Andrew Wilson debate (including the reported $300,000 debate offer) and the ongoing investigations and theories surrounding the death of Charlie Kirk. Jeff covers a wide range of related topics: allegations of military and intelligence involvement (with references to Fort Huachuca), claims of government and media corruption, excerpts from a contentious parody clip about the Tyler Robinson trial, and concerns about foreign aid and destabilizing influence. Jeff also critiques public figures and influencers—mentioning Jamie Walden and John Brisson's exposé—while airing skepticism about mainstream narratives and discussing alleged ties between intelligence services and domestic actors. Throughout, he intersperses humor, clips from online sources, and audience interaction via chat. In the second half, Jeff introduces a new recurring segment tied to his upcoming discipleship book, Rebel Hearts Redeemed, and its companion workbook and journal. He explains the structure of the book (chapter axioms, practical applications, prayers), shares sample reflection questions about salvation and identity, and invites listeners to volunteer as early reviewers on Amazon. He closes with community announcements, support requests, and a preview of future live study groups.
Chris and Jake Yap were two weeks from shutting down. A billion-dollar retailer had copied every product they launched and sold them for one tenth the price, then put it in the news - buy this coffee table from us for $499, or from them for $49. They'd burned their business savings, their personal savings, and taken out personal guarantee loans chasing speed. Jake was telling his wife he wasn't sure he could make rent. Then in those two weeks they made one switch that changed everything: instead of testing designs, they started testing problems. Little Lively launched last October, grew 30% compounding month on month, went worldwide in the same month it launched, and now spends around $600,000 a month on Meta. In this interview, Chris and Jake break down the exact testing framework that found their winning product, why they killed 700 SKUs to bet everything on one, and how they built an internal AI agent that runs across their entire company. What you'll learn in this interview: • The switch from testing designs to testing problems - and why it saved the business in two weeks • How they turned $10 wireless chargers off Alibaba into $300K cash in their first year • The Abundance Framework: testing up to 1,000 designs a week before ever committing to production • Why fast-fashion-style furniture drops became a vicious discount cycle that nearly killed them • How suppliers with 60-day payment terms effectively became their investors - and the relationship approach behind it • The 60 ROAS launch: what happens when you actually solve a real problem • Why they now welcome copycats - and how being 4-5 years ahead on the roadmap makes competitors into free marketing • Why they launched worldwide in the same month instead of proving one market first • "Australia is small and hard, the US is big and easy" - the contrarian take on market selection • Caesar: the company-wide AI agent living in their Slack that their team used to build an entire ERP system from scratch If you're running a DTC brand, drowning in SKUs and discounts, or trying to figure out how to find the one product worth betting everything on, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about focus, product testing, and what it takes to come back from the brink.

Seattle's full city council is heading to a vote on a $300,000 allocation from the Jumpstart Payroll Tax — the so-called Amazon tax — earmarked for LGBTQIA+ organizations. The pitch: a surge of "trans refugees" fleeing conservative states like Texas has overwhelmed local nonprofits, and the NGOs say they're out of money. Mayor Katie Wilson has gone a step further, floating a state-of-emergency declaration to accompany the ask.Sean breaks down what a "trans emergency" actually looks like in practice — and why the numbers behind it don't hold up. Seattle is already carrying a significant budget deficit, the state is in its own fiscal hole, and not a single verifiable figure has been offered to justify the spend. The "vulnerable population" framing is doing enormous heavy lifting with nothing behind it.The Fox 13 clip gets a full Sean Reynolds reaction: if you can't afford to get yourself to Seattle, a $300K municipal bailout funded by Amazon employees' paychecks probably isn't the answer.

We are joined by ad monetization guest Katerina to break down Smash Fest and the clone explosion surrounding it. We cover the physics-based cannon core (each ball is a move, run out and buy five more — match-3 logic on a physics engine), the detective work tracing it back to Toon Blast's "Cannon Fest" event (spotted by Game Refinery back in November 2024, and run by Peak as both playables and creatives — someone put two and two together and realized it worked), why Smash Fest was abruptly pulled from Google Play right as it scaled to ~300K downloads/day, and the seven-studio clone wave (Royal Smash by Cypher Games, Carnival Knockdown, Knockout, Knock Fever, Stack Smash by Tripledot, Carnival Blast, and more). Katerina digs into the monetization — Smash Fest's fairly basic setup (one rewarded placement, interstitial every fourth attempt) versus Royal Smash's smarter double-your-coins rewarded flow — with estimates landing around ~$130K/day in ads for Smash Fest, and the crew guessing the true total (IAP plus ads) could push toward ~$1M/day given a reported ~1M DAU. Then the UA reality: Smash Fest scaled ~300K downloads/day on ~50 creatives and essentially one great playable, ~90% AppLovin — while Royal Smash is catching up fast with 10x the creative volume, more channels, better LiveOps, and a monetization edge.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 A new physics-puzzle category — and the controversy03:00 The core loop — cannon physics, each ball a move07:00 The detective story — it's Toon Blast's Cannon Fest event10:30 Seven studios clone it in one month12:30 Why Smash Fest got taken down as it scaled16:30 The monetization breakdown — ~$130K/day in ads23:00 A new category: physics puzzlers take over from Angry Birds28:00 The UA reality — 50 creatives vs Royal Smash's 500This episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

How long does it actually take to turn $300K into $1M? It sounds like the question everyone wants answered, but it's the completely wrong place to focus. In this episode, I break down what real market returns say, why most people underestimate the power of compounding, and the one "secret accelerator" that can dramatically speed up your wealth without taking on more risk. Tune in to learn: How long it really takes to turn $300k into $1M using actual market returns. Why this is actually the wrong question to be asking. The "secret accelerator" that nobody realizes can 5-10x your investment growth. How one client used this to grow her net worth from $92K to $700K in just 3.5 years.

Send us Fan MailEver wonder if a product label is actually compliant, or are you just hoping it is? Stephanie's guest in this episode is Lauren Rockteacher, a food scientist and the founder of Proof & Panel, a label compliance agency helping food, beverage, and supplement brands navigate the regulatory maze of FDA, USDA and FTC with over 17 years in the industry.They dig into why brands should never send labels to print before a compliance review, the real differences between FDA and USDA requirements, and a protein-claim mistake that could get a product pulled off shelves. Lauren also breaks down what belongs on a PDP (they explain what a PDP is) and why a graphic designer isn't a brand's compliance expert.Their philosophy: facts combat fear. The more founders understand the actual requirements, the less overwhelming compliance feels, and the fewer costly surprises down the road.Download Lauren's label compliance checklist Learn more about Lauren and the services she provides at ProofAndPanel.comLaunch & Grow is hot out of the oven with a full update for 2026 and it's the only way you can join us inside the Fuel membership.

Max Learmonth was a professional rugby player who fell into recruitment by accident. He answered one trainee ad at Robert Half, started two weeks later, and never looked back.He climbed fast. £180,000 in his first year, £300,000 in his second, then off the tools rebuilding offices for a global giant. But somewhere in the grind, he lost himself. 'I'd become an arsehole,' he says. 'A typical Wolf of Wall Street recruitment dickhead. All I cared about was what my P&L looked like.'In May 2023, with a young daughter at home, he finally made the move and started again from his kitchen table. He turned down over £500,000 of investment to keep it 100% his. The plan was narrow on purpose: finance and accounting recruitment in the North West, and nothing else.Three years on, Forge Talent is a team of 16 that did £2.4 million in net fee income last year, entirely bootstrapped, built on a single stubborn belief: relationships, not transactions.On this episode of The RAG Podcast, Max breaks down exactly how he did it, the one KPI his whole business runs on each week, and why he thinks the average recruiter is finished while the specialist is only getting started.Max is not building the biggest recruitment business in the country. He is building the most dominant finance and accounting firm the North West has ever seen, and he already has a date on the exit.The difference is that he is doing it in the open, on his own terms, with a team of 16 who all know exactly what the 10-year goal is.If you have ever wondered whether going smaller and more specific is actually the smartest way to grow in the age of AI, this episode is evidence of that idea working right now.The Season 9 finale with Max Learmonth of Forge Talent is available now.----------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time. That's why there's Atlas, a CRM that actually understands context.Atlas captures everything you say, hear, read and write. Every interview, every client call, every LinkedIn message, email and WhatsApp, automatically. Not because you typed it up, but because Atlas was listening. Then it goes one step further and tells you the next action to take.So when you need to fill a role, People Search ranks your best candidates and tells you why, no digging required. That same memory turns your BD into a shortlist of exactly who to chase and why, so you win more clients. And when you want to see your pipeline, you just speak to your dashboards and Atlas builds the view for you in real time, tracking only what you care about.Whether you place permanent or contract, Atlas covers both. Its Contract Suite means you never chase a timesheet again, with live margin visibility across every placement. And with its new MCP and API, Atlas plugs straight into your LLMs and the rest of your stack, so the low-value admin that keeps you from billing gets done for you.This is not theory. Atlas customers are seeing 50% higher candidate response rates, a 35% increase in new clients won, 15+ hours saved every week, and monthly billings jumping by 85%. Some agencies are hitting 130% of their annual revenue target after building their business around Atlas.So if you're thinking you need to bolt AI onto your CRM, don't bother. Take a look at Atlas instead.Head to https://recruitwithatlas.com/therag/ to find out more.----------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: HoxoEvery recruitment founder is investing in LinkedIn, but AI has turned templated posts and outreach into a commodity. When everyone sounds the same, the market stops listening. The recruiters winning now are the ones the market trusts.At Hoxo we help recruitment founders become the most influential name in their niche, using AI to multiply output while trust stays the product. Our clients turn their existing networks into £100K to £300K in new billings within months. Watch the free RAG listener training to see how: https://hubs.ly/Q03lBpYC0

But over an entire career, these tiny percentages can become six-figure decisions. This week, Pete reveals the flashy math hiding inside your company-sponsored retirement plan.

In this episode, I'm joined by Meagan Williamson, a Pinterest strategist who's been in this space since the early beta days and has built her entire business around the platform that most business owners are completely sleeping on. We're breaking down what Pinterest actually is (spoiler: it's a search engine, not a social media platform), why it works so differently from Instagram, what kind of content performs well, what a realistic timeline looks like, and how to build a funnel that converts cold Pinterest traffic into actual clients, including one of Megan's clients who makes between $300K and $600K in direct Pinterest sales in a single month. Here's what we cover:Pinterest isn't social media. It's a search engine. (And that changes everything.) The Pinterest content strategy that keeps working for years.How to turn Pinterest traffic into paying clients.The truth about how long Pinterest really takes.Pinterest views are a vanity metric. (Why accounts with 10 million views are making $0)Plus so much more…Resources:Connect with Meagan: Website: https://meaganwilliamson.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meaganawilliamsonPinterest: https://pinterest.com/rowhousenest
