With a fresh multi-trillion-dollar bill that Trump wants signed on July 4th—because of course—the dollar's tanking, the debt's exploding, and inflation isn't done with us yet. Ray Dalio's math says we're headed for “big painful disruptions.” Gerardo and Nick explain why that's bullish for gold, copper, and popcorn (seriously—$89 buckets are coming).Market Takes - Copper's still above $5, lithium is quietly waking up, and platinum just had its best monthly move in 40 years. The NASDAQ and S&P are calm, but don't confuse quiet indices with a healthy economy. Gerardo and Nick are eyeing the real signal. “It's not a complicated thesis,” Gerardo says. “You just have to know what you own.” A new copper deal is dropping next week. Nick and Gerardo walk through the behind-the-scenes work it took to secure an unusually favorable structure: strategic investors, a 12-month lock-up, over $100M in potential partner funding, and a massive land position in Australia's Macquarie Arc. This is the kind of deal where legends like Rick Rule are writing checks—and it's coming to subscribers first. Join Private Placement Intel to participate in the deal next week. Details here: https://bit.ly/44jFjqmBizarro Banter - From AI anime YouTube channels with 30M followers to Google buying nuclear fusion power that doesn't exist yet, the guys riff on the weird intersection of technology, media, and energy. Nick also drops a righteous rant on local politics, semantics, and why Spokane's city council should stop serving hot dogs and calling them hamburgers. Gerardo weighs in on the Lia Thomas ruling and says what most people are thinking but too afraid to say: you can respect someone's identity and still want fairness in women's sports. Nick breaks it down with Pew poll data, Orwell quotes, and a reminder that logic is not bigotry. “You're born either male or female. That's not politics—it's biology.”Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

EIP‑7825 proposes a protocol‑enforced cap of 30 million gas per transaction, regardless of the overall block gas limit, to prevent individual transactions from consuming excessive block resources. This cap aims to improve network stability and guard against denial‑of‑service risks, especially as Ethereum evolves toward higher block gas limits and more complex transaction patterns. It also helps enhance parallel execution and rollup batching, ensuring that a single oversized transaction doesn't bottleneck block processing.EIP‑7934 proposes adding a protocol-level cap on the RLP-encoded size of execution-layer blocks, currently set at 10 MB plus a 512 KB margin, to prevent oversized blocks that strain network infrastructure. This cap addresses risks around network instability, such as slow block propagation, increased validation times, and potential consensus issues or DoS threats. While Ethereum already limits block processing by gas, explicitly bounding block bytes improves predictability and resilience in high-throughput scenarios or when adjusting gas limits upward.

You know you're in for a wild ride when Tyler brings back the Trey Lewellen—e-commerce madman, viral offer wizard, and occasional chaos wrangler. In this electric follow-up to his first appearance in 2019, Trey drops back into BizNinja Radio from literal paradise (yes, St. Thomas) to catch us up on scaling flashlights to $30M in 2.5 months, surviving lawsuits, and now running a lean empire off nothing more than a smartphone and a solid Telegram group.Trey breaks down the “market-first” method that flipped his e-comm game upside down—building audiences before building products. Forget warehouses full of dead inventory. Trey's strategy: ask what people want, sell it to them first, then fulfill. Oh, and he's doing it all with zero employees, freelancers who outwork traditional hires in a quarter of the time, and affiliate partners who move mountains (and a whole lot of product). The guy's basically playing 4D chess with a Shopify store.And if you think that's wild, just wait—Trey's now tackling TikTok Shop, WhatsApp, and Discord as the new frontier for selling. He's ditching email and SMS (too old, too risky) and betting on micro-influencers, direct-to-niche strategies, and building real communities. Oh, and spoiler alert: He's launching a free challenge to help you build your own $28K/month recurring revenue machine. Buckle up. This one's a masterclass in modern entrepreneurship. Key TakeawaysBuild audiences first, products second. Let your market tell you what to sell.Freelancers > full-time staff: scale smarter with lean teams.Affiliate partnerships can explode your growth—find the right players and pay them well.Email and SMS are dying—Discord, TikTok Live, and WhatsApp are the future.Always plan for scale. $30M months sound fun... until the lawsuits roll in.Aim for 1,000 subscribers at $28/month.

What does it take to transform a 500-person staffing company and restore profitability while maintaining high engagement and renewed purpose? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, you'll hear how one leader rebuilt culture and strengthened organizational performance through people-first leadership, without sacrificing values or authenticity. After joining the company as a trainee in 2001, Matthew Wragg eventually became CEO in 2022. In this conversation, he shares the inside story of the business transformation at Gattaca PLC: removing executive offices, tying leadership bonuses to employee engagement, and launching a new cultural framework that turns values into specific, observable behaviors. We also dive into his personal lessons from two decades in recruitment, including the wins and mistakes that shaped his approach to growth, leadership, and resilience. Episode Highlights [05:46] How Matthew got into recruitment and why he stayed with one company [14:23] From trainee to CEO: lessons in ambition and internal branding [22:00] The £30M deal they lost—and how they won it back [30:55] Using culture and values to improve employee engagement [46:01] Removing executive offices and linking pay to engagement scores [49:48] How “Changing Up the Game” became a strategic reset during COVID [52:18] Aligning the team around clear, behavioral definitions of company values [59:29] How Gattaca is thinking about AI adoption Losing a £30M Dealand Using It to Win Future Business Matthew shares how Gattaca lost a £30M contract despite having the experience, pricing, and capability. The reason? They didn't take the time to understand the client. He took responsibility, re-engaged with the customer over 12 months, and eventually won the deal back—this time at a 70% higher price. This loss prompted a shift in sales culture: more discovery, less assumption; more trust, less volume. It was a turning point in how Gattaca approached strategic selling. How Culture and Values Fueled Gattaca's Turnaround When Matthew stepped in as CEO, the company was struggling with flat growth and low engagement. His first move was to prioritize people. He eliminated glass offices to flatten hierarchy and increase visibility. He began weekly internal video updates and tied 10% of leadership compensation to employee engagement. He personally reviews hundreds of anonymous employee comments each month—starting with the negatives. Over two years, this helped shift Gattaca from 58% detractors to 58% promoters, even in a tough market. How Gattaca's “DNA Deck” Turned Culture into Performance To make values actionable, Gattaca launched a “DNA deck” that defines specific behaviors tied to each value. These are reviewed quarterly and fully integrated into performance management—alongside sales and effort metrics. One example: “Be brave enough to tell the truth, but kind enough to say it the right way.” Each principle includes examples of “what good looks like” so there's no ambiguity. No one can top-score on performance if their behavior doesn't align with the culture. Matthew Wragg – Bio & Contact Matthew Wragg is CEO of Gattaca PLC with 23+ years in recruitment. Starting as a trainee in 2001, he progressed through senior leadership roles before becoming CEO in 2022. He has led Gattaca through an organizational reset focused on purpose, vision, and values—prioritizing sustainable growth, employee engagement, and cultural clarity.

You ever felt like the rules of government contracting change before you can even understand them? In this episode, I sat down with Emily Murphy—former GSA Administrator and current head of Government Procurement Strategies—to break down everything you need to know about the FAR Rewrite and how it impacts small businesses, AI, commercial solutions, and contract consolidation. We're talking about sweeping changes being implemented within 24 hours, missing references to small businesses in key parts of the FAR (yes, even the Rule of Two!), and the major shift toward modular IT procurement and AI oversight. If you think the FAR rewrite is just another bureaucratic update, think again. Emily didn't just drop buzzwords—she revealed why small businesses might be squeezed out if they're not proactive, how a $10K change in micro-purchase thresholds could save $30M, and what this means for the future of contracting officers, procurement strategies, and vendor access. We also dove into the executive orders pushing these changes, what consolidation under GSA means for your pipeline, and why contracting delays are costing your business more than you think. This is essential listening for every BD lead, small business owner, or contractor trying to survive FY25.

Why Data Became Like a Religion Back when Chris and I first locked ourselves in a tiny Atlanta room for a workshop, Rankings.io was barely peeking over the $1M mark. He was still deciding who to serve and how. Fast forward about 8-9 years to today, and he says there's no bigger reason for his success than his top-to-bottom data obsession. Most agency owners track just enough to feel busy: a few pipeline numbers, maybe close rates if they're fancy. But Chris tracks everything. He knows the lifetime value of a client paying $5K a month versus $10K a month. He knows exactly how each account manager's retention rate impacts revenue. He even scores sales reps like a fantasy football league. And it's not just vanity metrics. If an account manager is great at keeping clients but terrible at preserving the original retainer size, they fix it. If time tracking shows poor utilization? They fix it. It's relentless. The big unlock for him was getting a real CFO to build this machine — and shifting from QuickBooks to more robust systems like Sage. No more flying blind or hoping for the best. If you don't know your LTV, churn, win rates, and retention by the exact dollar, you're leaving growth up to luck. How AI Became His Secret Weapon (and Why You Should Care) Most agency owners dabble in AI: a blog here, a few prompts there. Chris has gone full cyborg. Every single month, his team uploads their entire reporting package into ChatGPT. They don't just glance at dashboards — they get an AI board of advisors that points out trends, flags issues, and even suggests campaigns based on sales funnel leaks. If they have clients applying but not booking, the AI says: launch a re-engagement sequence. If they're not sure why the expense spike looks off, the AI will cross-check it with your event calendar. Chris used to hate looking at financials — now AI does the heavy lifting. When it comes to AI agents, they're not doing as much and prefer to use AI assistants for content, link building, and optimization. He even has an AI board of advisers with different personalities. This isn't replacing people. It's leveling them up. It's like strapping a rocket to every role — so you can do more without burning out your team. If you're not leaning on AI for context and next steps, you're probably making slower (and worse) decisions than your competitors. The CEO's True Job: Gotta Catch ‘em All Now that he's running an agency pushing $40M in service revenue (not pass-through, real revenue) Chris defines his role as: “Playing people Pokemon. Gotta catch ‘em all. I get the clients, and my president keeps them.” He sets the vision, runs point on marketing and sales, hosts the podcast, and stays the face of Rankings.io. Meanwhile, his right-hand man, Stephen, owns retention and delivery. This split lets Chris hunt big opportunities without getting bogged down in fulfillment fires. It's the perfect example of how an owner's role must evolve. If you're still stuck in the weeds, wearing every hat, and calling that “leadership” — you're capping your agency's growth. The goal isn't to do everything. It's to build a team that does everything better than you ever could alone. And Chris's story is living proof. The Hidden Growing Pains Nobody Warns You About Ever heard of the dreaded “no man's land” for agencies? For Chris, it began after he crossed the $8M to $10M mark and things got painfully awkward fast. In this stage, you're forced to hire the roles that don't directly bring in revenue: HR, finance, middle managers. Suddenly, your once-scrappy margins start leaking everywhere. It feels counterintuitive, all these new salaries, and yet no extra billables. But here's the catch: this is the awkward but necessary step that'll set you up with the infrastructure to move from $10M to $15M, $20M or beyond. This is generally the zone where you feel like an imposter CEO — one foot in the hustle, one foot in the corporate world you swore you'd never build. The truth is, every growing agency owner faces this inflection point. And if you get it right, you build a structure that can handle scale. If you get it wrong, you risk staying stuck at the same revenue ceiling year after year. You Can't Turn It Off — And Maybe That's Okay Most founders agree they find it difficult to turn their business brain off, and honestly, they don't want to. Business is the hobby. While their kids are at soccer practice, their brain is rewriting the service agreement or tweaking a proposal. Sure, there's a cost. Vacations come with podcast episodes in the car. Weekends sometimes mean scanning P&L spreadsheets. But, as Jason and Chris admit: the key to staying sane isn't to “balance it perfectly” — it's to have the right partner who gets the obsession. Because when you're building a business that supports dozens, even hundreds of families, switching it off just isn't realistic. So you find the support system that lets you go all in and come home for dinner. Why Core Values Actually Matter Early on, you might roll your eyes at “company core values.” Chris admits he did and saw it as just a lot of fluff. But once you're managing 50, 100, or more people, vague values don't cut it — you need a shared language to protect the culture. His agency now runs on three non-negotiables: Excellence (do great work, always) Execution (don't just talk, get it done) Grit (stick with hard things for the long haul) While he used to rely on platitudes like “team player” — he sees now that the wrong person will be weeded out fast as long as the core values are clear. He also bails at the mention of “work-life balance” in an interview. Because for this team, the culture is built for people who like working hard. The Surprising Key to Client Happiness Think your killer case studies will keep clients happy forever? Think again. Client happiness is very subjective and your biggest churn risk isn't bad work — it's bad relationships. Sure, you can track Net Promoter Scores all day. But real retention comes from catching early warning signs, which Chris calls “saves”. A client going quiet, missing calls, or hinting they're not vibing with an account manager should be signs to take action, if you start tracking them, as he has. And here's the overlooked move more agencies need to revive: visit your clients in person. Everyone's got Zoom fatigue. Booking a flight and breaking bread goes a long way toward making you not just a vendor, but a trusted partner. How In-Person Hustle and Outbound Hunting Keep You on Top Even with all the fancy dashboards, AI copilots, and mega forecasting tools, Chris and his president still jump on planes to shake hands with clients. They even budget for it. When you're running a high-ticket service where each client can be worth $125,000 or more over their lifetime, dropping a couple grand to show up in person is a no-brainer. It's how you show you care more than the next guy who's sending templated emails and hiding behind Slack. Chris's take is simple: Want to stand out? Do what you say you're going to do. Show up. Make your clients look like heroes. When a big-name CEO flies out to see you — even if you didn't sell them the deal — you remember that. Big relationships should get the handshake treatment. Using AI for Confidence in an Agency Acquisition Chris didn't buy another agency until he was already pushing $30 million, while most owners pull that trigger way earlier to leapfrog plateaus. Why wait? According to Chris, he didn't have the confidence to do it. Until AI changed that. He used ChatGPT to run diligence questions, draft the LOI, check for financial holes, and sanity-check the entire earnout structure. Sure, he has a great CFO — but that AI second brain made the whole thing faster and way less intimidating. Now that he's got the first deal under his belt, he's hungry for more. That's how scale works: get clarity, take the shot, rinse and repeat. Pro tip: If you're scared to buy, partner, or hire, dump your numbers into AI. Ask it what it would worry about if it were buying you. It'll show you every skeleton in the closet — so you can fix them now. Why Outbound Sales is Your Insurance Policy Chris used to be very resistant to doing outbound but now it is saving him from the Google rollercoaster. Inbound is sexy when it works. But we all know it can be feast or famine. Algorithms change. Referrals dry up. And you're stuck hoping this month's pipeline looks like last month's. After getting tired of hoping, Chris built an outbound team that's now about 30 people deep. He's got BDRs making 50 high-quality calls a day, sending out handwritten notes with books, running multi-channel outreach, and gifting prospects to cut through the noise. Each practice area has its own sales enablement rep feeding lists, building sequences, and arming the closers with context. It's consistent and it means Rankings.io can hunt, not just fish. Big lesson: if you don't control at least three lead sources (inbound, outbound, and strategic partners), your agency's growth is on borrowed time. Don't put all your eggs in Google's basket. Outbound is insurance. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

Let's talk about women in sports—and not just the headline-makers or the occasional viral moment. We're talking about the Olympians, the Paralympians, and the elite athletes around the world who are changing the game… even if you've never heard their names. In this first (but definitely not last) episode on the topic, we're shining a spotlight on the stories that deserve more air time. Because representation in sports matters—and so does who's telling the story. Jamie Mittelman is our guest today, and she's made it her mission to elevate women athletes on a global stage. She's the founder and host of Flame Bearers, the first international media platform dedicated to women Olympians and Paralympians. With a background in media, a Master's from the Harvard Kennedy School, and experience managing a $30M portfolio for Yahoo, Jamie is using her superpowers to amplify diverse, overlooked voices in elite women's sports. Because every time we tell these stories, we challenge outdated norms, push representation forward, and create a ripple effect for the next generation of athletes. And if you've been sleeping on women's sports… consider this your wake-up call. As the saying goes: Everyone watches women's sports. And everyone should.

Nate's Business Case Template One of the largest deals Nate (Co-Founder @ Fluint & Chief Growth Office @ Global Venture Network) ever closed—$30M—was won with a single, unbranded page. No logos. No design. Just black text on white paper. Why? Because it felt internal to the customer—not like a vendor pitch. The structure? Just 5 parts: 1. Priority-Driven Headline – Use the exec's own language 2. Problem Statement – Frame the problem in a way that aligns with what you uniquely solve 3. Recommended Approach – Highlight 3 key things only you can do differently 4. Target Outcomes – Flip the problem into clear, metric-driven results 5.
