Black women are leaving the workforce and it’s a warning sign for the entire economy. From media to tech, more than 300,000 Black women have left their jobs in the last year. What’s driving this exodus, and what does it reveal about the state of work in America? Bridget speaks with: Anna Gifty, economist and author of the fascinating new book The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged, and Underpaid, and sociologist Marianne Cooper, Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University's VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab, about the economic pressures, pay gaps, and burnout pushing Black women out and why their exit should concern everyone.

How I Use Storytelling And AI To Build A Newsletter That Converts You know that moment when something in your business just clicks, like you've finally found your thing? That's exactly how I feel about my newsletter right now. What used to be a quick weekly email to promote my podcast has become one of my favorite (and most profitable) parts of my business. And trust me, as someone who never considered herself a “storyteller,” I did not see this coming. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I completely reimagined my newsletter from a basic email to a storytelling-driven, data-backed strategy that brought in over $300,000 during my most recent launch. I share exactly how I structure it, how I use AI as a creative partner (without losing my voice), and why writing it myself reconnected me to the heart of my message. If you've ever wondered how to breathe life into your email list or build stronger connections with your audience, this episode will show you what's possible when you blend storytelling, strategy, and heart. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Your Newsletter Can Be A Business Growth Engine – When I stopped treating my newsletter like a checklist task and started treating it like a relationship builder, everything changed. It became more personal, more valuable, and (surprisingly!) more profitable. 2️⃣ Storytelling Builds The Strongest Connection (And The Best Conversions) – Every newsletter I send starts with something real from my life that ties back to a business lesson. It's the bridge between what I teach and what my audience feels, and it's why people actually look forward to opening my emails. 3️⃣ AI Can Help You Find Clarity, But Connection Still Takes Time – I use ChatGPT as a creative partner to refine my stories and find the meaning behind them. But I still write every word with intention because automation can't replace authenticity. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Join my newsletter to get real strategy, zero fluff, and plenty of behind-the-scenes magic in your inbox every Tuesday! amyporterfield.com/newsletter Catch up on Episode 8 with Jay Schwedelson: How to Write Subject Lines That People Actually Notice Learn more about my Made to Scale Mastermind Check out Kit's Creator Network and Substack MORE FROM ME Follow me on Instagram @amyporterfield SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

If you are feeling stuck after you launch your business - maybe around $40 - $60K - it's very likely a fear of success that is holding you back, not a fear of failure. Sneaky thoughts like "I'm not good with money" or "no one could ever sell as good as me" or "I'm the only one who can make my product" or "I'm not good at managing people" are likely keeping your business small so that you can avoid the things that often come with success. On today's podcast I share with you some fears that came from CPG founders just like you on a recent Master Your Business call and what do to about them so you can get to the next level in your business.

At 18, Harry became a dad. By his mid-twenties, he was running a growing marketing agency, working with big clients and living what looked like success from the outside. But in 2024, his business was hit hard, losing over $300,000 in a matter of months. It forced him to rethink everything he thought he knew about business, success, and happiness. Now, Harry is rebuilding from the ground up with In-House Academy, a marketing school built from the lessons of his failures and his drive to help others do things differently.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KIn this Notorious Mass Effect segment, Analytic Dreamz delivers a comprehensive analysis of Rosalía's groundbreaking 2025 single “Berghain” featuring Björk and Yves Tumor, the lead track from her upcoming album Lux, releasing November 7 via Sony Music. Clocking in at 3:26, the Nicolás Méndez-directed video amassed 3M+ YouTube views in 24 hours and 6M+ by October 29, hitting #2 globally on Trending while debuting Top 5 on Spotify Spain and trending in Germany, Iceland, and Latin America. Filmed across Berlin and Barcelona, the multilingual masterpiece in German, English, and Spanish blends organ, choir, synth bass, and London Symphony Orchestra strings conducted by Daníel Bjarnason. Analytic Dreamz dissects symbolic scenes—from Catholic iconography and a wounded heart jewel to Snow White animal motifs, a dissolving sugar cube nod to Kieslowski's Three Colors: Blue, and a white dove ascension signifying rebirth post-heartbreak with subtle Rauw Alejandro references like the fox and garnet medallion. Fashion highlights include archival Alexander McQueen Fall 2002 shredded dress, Spring 2003 rosary sandals, Givenchy Spring 1997 fringed top, and Balenciaga Spring 2004 cutout piece, curated by José Carayol to evoke holiness and reincarnation. Lux's 18-song, four-movement structure features collaborators Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz, and shifts from Motomami's urban edge to orchestral spirituality, with 300K+ pre-saves and 1.2M+ Instagram likes signaling massive impact. Analytic Dreamz explores lyrics like “Ich halte viele Dinge in meinem Herzen” and Björk's “divine intervention” bridge, positioning “Berghain” as Rosalía's boldest evolution yet.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week: the FCC vote, DJI drone and payload leaks, and a California homeowner is facing a massive $300,000 fine based on drone surveillance. Let's get to it.First up, in a 3-0 vote, the FCC granted itself the authority to retroactively ban equipment from companies on its "Covered List." This new rule was driven by Chinese communication equipment issues and it closes two major loopholes. First, it prohibits the authorization of any new devices that contain components from a Covered List company. Second, and this is the big one, it allows the FCC to revoke previously authorized equipment if national security concerns arise. As I said, this was motivated by huawei and other Chinese telecom equipment. Why does it matter to the drone world?DJI and Autel could end up on the FCC Covered List by the end of the year if an audit of their technology is not completed by the US government. If/when they get added, then the FCC would have the authority to do what they just voted on. There is technically a notice of proposed rule making coming up on this to follow, but as of this recording, it is NOT public.Next up, DJI has a few rumored releases including the Neo 2, which is rumored to be released by the time you're watching this recording! Some notable upgrades include forward-facing LiDAR, 2 Axis Gimbal, possible sensor upgrades, and the battery, reportedly offering 15% more capacity for a flight time of around 19 minutes. But that upgrade comes at a cost—leaked Australian pricing shows the new battery will be $129, which is more than double the original's $59 price tag. DJI Enterprise is teasing a new payload for all the surveyors and mappers out there. The company has announced a launch event for November 4th at 7 AM EST for what is almost certainly the new Zenmuse L3 LiDAR payload. The teaser tagline is "See Through, Far and True," which gives us some big clues. "See Through" likely points to improved vegetation penetration, which is critical for forestry and terrain mapping. "Far" suggests a longer detection range than the Zenmuse L2's 450 meters. And "True" implies even better accuracy, which would be impressive since the L2 already boasts 4cm vertical and 5cm horizontal accuracy.Leaked photos show the L3 payload in a rugged Pelican-style case, and it features a distinctive pink and purple display screen that matches the teaser video. This is the logical successor to the Zenmuse L2, which was launched back in October 2023. DJI has been a game-changer in this space, bringing the cost of aerial LiDAR down from over $100,000 to something much more accessible. Fourth this week, a homeowner in Stanton, California, is facing a staggering $300,000 fine after a drone owned by the City allegedly recorded illegal fireworks being set off at his property on July 4th. The city claims its drone documented approximately 300 explosions, and they're fining him $1,000 for each one. The homeowner insists he wasn't even home at the time.And next week at this time, we'll be in Las Vegas for the Vegas Drone Meetup! We'll be teaching a few in-person courses on select Part 107 topics and on photography and cinematography. If you're in the area, check it out and we hope to see you there!

Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com━I sat down with Tyler Purcell, who owns four laundromats while also running a wealth management firm managing over $250 million. We talked about how he grew The Laundry Spot brand into a multi-million dollar operation that's put 11 competitors out of business, and how he's modernizing an old, forgotten industry. Tyler shared the full economics of the laundromat business, how much it costs to open one, what they net per location, and why he calls it a “bulletproof” business. We broke down his grand opening strategy that ramps stores to $500K revenue month from day one, his approach to commercial laundry and residential pickup, and why he believes laundromats are still years behind the car wash industry in innovation.You can find Tyler on X at https://x.com/TylerPurcell24 and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerpurcell-balancewealth/.Enjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkLearn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cofFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---
BT & Sal kick off the segment with a fiery update on the $300,000 in NFL fines levied against the Giants organization and Brian Daboll (a whopping $100K personally!) for violating the concussion protocol, with fullback Cam Skattebo also tagged for $15K. The main event is the BT N Sal's Perfect Parlay Picks for NFL Week 8, where the hosts and Hoff—the current leader—make their against-the-spread selections. Hoff defends his 150-point lead with a four-team parlay, while Sal chips away with a two-team bet featuring the Broncos -3.5 and the Titans +14.5. BT—desperate to snap his "ice-cold" streak—rolls with a big-favorites parlay, laying huge numbers with the Pats -7.5 and Colts -14.5. The segment culminates with the Live Call of the Day from a listener demanding that Hoff quickly repeat his winning picks for them to write down! The hosts wrap up by making their straight-up predictions for the Jets and Giants games.
In this Meaningful People episode, financial advisor Moshe Alpert and community advocate Shmuly Hartstein unpack why many frum “middle‑class” families earning $200–300K still feel underwater—tuition that rivals a salary, yom tov and camp costs, seminary and simcha expectations, and the quiet creep of credit‑card debt. They debate income‑based tuition and communal funding versus personal responsibility, and share practical moves: make a real plan, build a budget, ask for a raise or start a side hustle, prioritize local schools in tzedakah, consider lower‑cost simchas or out‑of‑town living, and protect your family with insurance and a will. A candid, solutions‑oriented conversation about money, values, and making frum life sustainable.

Why do some recruiters struggle to break $300K while others hit seven figures in their third year? My guest, Tito Caceres, spotted a $160 billion industry that most recruiters have never even thought about. And he built a thriving business there with nothing but a credit card and relentless hustle. Tito grew up in his family's landscaping business and swore he'd never work in that industry. Ironically, that's exactly where he found his million-dollar niche. After building a career in sales and recruitment, he recognized an opportunity that others had completely missed. In 2021, he launched Bloom Talent Solutions and went all-in. First year? $600K in billings working solo with no agency pedigree. This year, he's on pace for $1.6 million. In this episode, you'll hear how Tito scaled fast by going retained-only, building a transparency system that keeps clients loyal, and creating new income sources beyond placement fees. You'll also hear why he fired clients to achieve clarity, how he packages candidates better than any resume ever could, and what it really takes to dominate a niche market. If you've ever wondered how far focus and follow-through can take a solo recruiter, this is your playbook. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: How Tito went from despising the landscaping industry to building a million-dollar recruiting business in it First year billings: $600K working solo with no pedigree Why Tito walked away from contingent work in year two (and never looked back) The transparency system that keeps clients coming back: weekly reports, bi-weekly meetings, and QBRs Performance sheets: the mandatory tool that packages candidates better than any resume How Tito built AI-driven recruiting systems that put him miles ahead of other recruiters The subscription model that turns relationships into reliable income before placement fees even come in Hiring misfires, family challenges, and the painful lessons that led to clarity Revenue share partnerships with industry consultants that generate referrals on autopilot CONNECT WITH TITO CACERES: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tito-caceres/ Bloom Talent Solutions: http://getbloomtalent.com RESOURCES MENTIONED: Clay.com Lemlist Recruitment Coach Live Summit Claire Ackers on LinkedIn CONNECT WITH MARK WHITBY: Get your FREE 30-minute strategy call: https://www.recruitmentcoach.com/strategy-session/ Mark on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwhitby/ Mark on Twitter: https://twitter.com/markwhitby Mark on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRecruitmentCoach/ Mark on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/recruitmentcoach/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RESILIENT RECRUITER This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to scale a high-profit, low-overhead search firm.
Here's a question that'll keep you up at night: How do you take a company from $300K in annual revenue to $1.5 million in 18 months, then scale to $3-5 million within five years? That's the challenge facing Greg Hirschi from Colorado. He's the new executive leader of an 18-year-old company selling ethics assessment services to professional licensing boards. They've expanded from an entrepreneurial model to a small team with one salesperson and one customer service person. The goal is aggressive growth, and Greg needs to know where to focus his limited resources to get the biggest bang for his buck. If you're nodding your head right now because you're in a similar situation, pay attention. Because the mistakes you make at $300K will haunt you at $3 million. The Resource Reality Check Let's be brutally honest about what a $300K revenue company means: You have no money. You have a razor-thin budget. You have one salesperson and one leader trying to do everything. At this stage, you have exactly one priority: REVENUE. You don't have the luxury of fixing operations, perfecting your tech stack, or building elaborate systems. You need to sell. Period. But here's where most small companies screw this up. They think selling means taking anything with a pulse. If it can fog a mirror, they'll do business with it. That's a death spiral disguised as growth. The Operator's Dilemma Greg comes from an operations background. He's analytical, process-driven, and systematic. Those traits are incredible assets for building a business, especially when the goal is to scale fast. But they can also be a liability when managing salespeople. Here's what happens: Operators think in systems and logic. Salespeople think in relationships and emotion. Operators want everything organized and predictable. Salespeople throw deals on the table that are messy and unpredictable. If you're an operator trying to lead sales, you need to understand this fundamental tension. Your salesperson is out there getting hammered with objections every single day, building narratives in their head about why people won't buy. You're thinking, "Just brush it off and do it again. What's wrong with you?" They're thinking, "You have no idea what it's like out here." This is why reading New Sales Simplified by Mike Weinberg is non-negotiable if you're an operator managing sales. You need to learn how salespeople think, how they operate, and how to lead them effectively without losing your mind. Start With Your ICP or Die Trying The single most important thing Greg needs to do right now to scale is get laser-focused on his Ideal Customer Profile. Not kind of focused. Not "we have a general idea." I mean obsessively, precisely, ridiculously dialed in on exactly who they should be selling to. Here's why this matters so much at $300K: Greg's salesperson has a $600K pipeline and will close 50% of it. Sounds great, right? But if half those customers churn because they're the wrong fit, requiring constant re-education and hand-holding, Greg's salesperson will get stuck in account management mode. They'll stop prospecting for new business because they're too busy re-selling existing accounts. That's how you stay stuck at $300K forever. Your ICP drives everything. It determines your messaging, your marketing, your presentation materials, and which stakeholders you need to reach inside target organizations. It helps you build relevant social proof stories. It allows you to coach your salesperson on handling specific objections instead of generic brush-offs. Most importantly, it gives you guardrails. You can ask your salesperson in pipeline reviews: "Tell me the strategic reason why we should chase this account. How does it fit our ICP? Why is this worth our limited resources when our singular goal right now is growth?" When you're running a $300K company with one salesperson and one leader, you cannot afford to chase every deal.

In this solo episode, Ron Phillips breaks down the data from the Atlanta Fed's Home Ownership Affordability Monitor and reveals why the numbers tell a bigger story about government intervention, construction costs, and market imbalance.

Hey Friend! Let me ask you something—how much time and money have you spent trying to fix the way you lead? Another book, another certification, another workshop promising the breakthrough you've been searching for? Here's what nobody tells you: every time you reach for another quick fix, you're not just spending money or time. You're staying stuck in the same patterns that got you here in the first place. I've been having this conversation on repeat with leaders at your level. The strategies that got you to VP, to Executive Director, to Founder—they're not broken. They're just not built for where you're going next. And that gap? It's costing you more than you realize. "When your leadership is misaligned with your true identity, even success feels heavy." Want to Go Deeper? Ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start leading from alignment? Book a Leadership Strategy Call—your blueprint to clarity, confidence, and impact.
In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Jay Sapovits, founder of Ink Stores, who shares how he transformed his business from a retail storefront into a thriving on-demand swag company during COVID. Starting with $300K in the first year and growing to mid-seven figures, Jay reveals the pivotal mindset shifts, the importance of resilience, and how consistency fueled growth. He also discusses scaling a team of nearly 30, building a strong culture, and why creativity and adaptability remain essential in the $27B U.S. merchandise industry. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jay Sapovits, the hardest thing in growing a small business is consistency. He explained that no matter how tough things get—whether you're “kicked in the teeth on Tuesday”—you have to show up again on Wednesday and keep going. Consistency, even through setbacks, is what makes growth possible. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jay Sapovits said his favorite business book is “How to Become a Rainmaker” by Jeffrey Fox. He called it “unequivocally, the best business book ever written” because it breaks down sales into simple, powerful concepts in short, easy-to-digest chapters that serve as a lifelong reference. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? While Jay Sapovits didn't name specific favorites, several great resources align with his focus on resilience, consistency, and growth. Podcasts like The How of Business, Masters of Scale, The $100 MBA Show, and The Disruptive Entrepreneur offer practical strategies and inspiring stories from entrepreneurs. Online learning platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning provide valuable training in sales, leadership, and team building—skills Jay emphasizes as essential. He also highlights the importance of community, so joining mastermind groups or business forums can help small business owners share challenges, learn from peers, and stay consistent in their growth journey. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? One tool Jay Sapovits says he “can't live without” is simple: email. Being super responsive, replying fast, keeping communication tight — that core tool / habit has been critical in how he grows trust, closes sales, and stays connected with clients. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If Jay Sapovits could give himself advice on day one of starting his business, he would say: “Take it easy on yourself.” He explained that his high expectations often created unnecessary stress, and he later learned to manage them better. He also emphasized that “comparison is the thief of joy,” urging entrepreneurs to stay focused on their own journey, support their peers, and not get distracted by competitors or external factors they can't control.
