Story of the Week (DR):JP Morgan's news weekThe Lurid Lawsuit, Salami Scandal and Trash-Can Thief Vexing JPMorgan's PR Department AND Meme of 'JPMorgan's HR Department in 2026' Has People in Stitches Amid Sex Scandal and Knicks Bin IncidentShe Stole a Knicks Trash Can Off the Street and Lost Her Job at JPMorganThe Trash Bin That Cost Her Career: Who Is Angie Báez? JPMorgan DEI Executive Fired After Viral Knicks Parade VideoThe Trash-Can Thief: Angie Báez, an Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement at the bank, was captured on a viral video during the New York Knicks championship parade emptying a public trash bin onto a Manhattan sidewalk so she could steal the limited-edition, blue-and-orange Knicks-themed container.The Resolution: JPMorgan quickly terminated her employment after the video went viral. Báez eventually returned the trash bin and was issued $175 in sanitation fines.But what kinds of thing DON'T get you fired and get you fined?In 2023, JPMorgan Chase agreed to a $290 million (1,657,143x) settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit from survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. The bank was accused of actively ignoring glaring red flags and helping bankroll Epstein's sex-trafficking operation for 15 years.Internal documents and later congressional probes revealed that the bank processed roughly 4,700 suspicious transactions totaling $1.1 billion for Epstein. They failed to file a single Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) until after his death.Who Kept Their Job? Mary Erdoes: The Head of Asset & Wealth Management was fully aware of Epstein's status as a high-risk sex offender, reviewed his account, and was directly implicated in internal communications regarding his status. She faced zero professional demotions and remains one of the top candidates to eventually succeed Jamie Dimon as CEO.In 2020, JPMorgan Chase entered a deferred prosecution agreement and agreed to pay a record $920 million (5,257,143x) to settle federal charges of market manipulation.For nearly a decade, traders on JPMorgan's precious metals and U.S. Treasuries desks engaged in "spoofing"—placing tens of thousands of fake, deceptive orders to artificially move market prices and maximize their own profits. The FBI stated that traders "openly disregarded U.S. laws."While a couple of mid-to-high-level traders (like Michael Nowak and Gregg Smith) were later criminally convicted and sentenced to prison, the executive leadership team responsible for supervising them and implementing compliance programs suffered no casualties. Top management stayed perfectly secure, chalking the multi-million dollar fraud up as the work of a few "bad apples."The Salami Scandal: Veteran wealth manager Brent Bodner was fired by JPMorgan in 2024 after he expensed a $642.50 deli platter (containing wings, sandwiches, and salads) for a Super Bowl gathering at his Beverly Hills home. The bank accused him of intentionally misclassifying a personal party as a pre-approved business meeting.Bodner counter-sued, jokingly dubbing the controversy the "salami incident." He argued that the event was a legitimate client-acquisition dinner that only two prospects ended up attending, and that the minor coding error was used as a pretext to push him out.The Resolution: A FINRA arbitration panel sided heavily with Bodner, ruling that JPMorgan acted preemptively out of paranoia that brokers were leaving for rivals. The panel ordered JPMorgan to pay Bodner $4.25 million in damages.The Lurid Lawsuit: Chirayu Rana, a former vice president on JPMorgan's leveraged finance team, leveled highly salacious allegations against his female supervisor, Executive Director Lorna Hajdini. Rana's lawsuit alleges he was subjected to a campaign of racial discrimination, severe harassment, and forced sexual relations under the threat of having his career sabotaged.The Resolution: Rana rejected a $1M settlement offer, countering with a demand for up to $22 million before escalating the fight to court. Both Hajdini and JPMorgan strongly deny the allegations as entirely fabricated, and the legal battle is moving toward a highly publicized trial.JPMorgan Chase promotes Petno, Rohrbaugh to copresidents, setting up two more successors for DimonThe Wait to Replace Jamie Dimon Keeps Getting Longer: Another potential successor, Marianne Lake, is leaving JPMorgan, as the longstanding chief executive enters his third decade atop the bank.How JPMorgan went from 3 female CEO contenders to an all-male succession raceJPMorgan named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh, current co-heads of the bank's commercial and investment bank, as co-presidents, setting them up as the frontrunners to succeed longtime CEO Jamie Dimon. Their promotions, the bank said in a press release, "are part of the Board's ongoing succession planning process."Petno and Rohrbaugh were among a handful of powerhouse candidates poised to succeed Dimon, including Jennifer Piepszak, chief operating officer, Marianne Lake, CEO of the commercial bank, and Mary Erdoes, CEO of asset and wealth management.Marianne Lake, a Potential Dimon Successor, Leaves JPMorganOne-time Retention and Continuity equity awards to the following Operating Committee members:Doug Petno, Co-President and CEO of the Commercial & Investment Bank, and Troy Rohrbaugh, Co-President and CEO of Consumer & Community Banking, in the amount of $30M each;Mary Erdoes, CEO of Asset & Wealth Management, and Jennifer Piepszak, Chief Operating Officer, in the amount of $20M each.JPMorgan Chase unveils $50 billion buyback, Goldman Sachs raises dividend after Fed stress testA 6 year study shows which CEOs are pushing RTO mandates: The ones with the biggest egosFortune 500 bosses demanding staff return to the office share one trait: narcissism, research findsA six-year study tracking corporate executives revealed that strict return-to-office (RTO) mandates are heavily driven by narcissism and executive ego, rather than actual employee productivityWharton organizational psychologist Adam Grant noted that researchers used reliable corporate proxies to quantify CEO narcissism, including the oversized scale of their compensation packages, the size of their signatures, and the prominence of their photos in company annual reports.The data showed that leaders with highly inflated self-opinions consistently coveted maximum power and status, making them the most aggressive opponents of remote work.Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan pushed hard for a 5-day-a-week return to the office. Why they're now letting employees work from homeGameStop CEO Cohen spurns $35 billion pay plan to focus on plan to buy eBayGameStop CEO on His eBay Pursuit: ‘I'm Not Going to Stop, I'm Not Going to Go Away'GameStop unveiled a compensation package worth roughly $35B for Ryan Cohen ​in January, hinging on a turnaround that requires him to lift the struggling company's market value more than tenfold and sharply boost its profit.In May, Cohen surprised Wall Street with an unsolicited offer to buy eBay for roughly $56 billion in cash and stock to ‌turn the e-commerce company into ⁠a bigger competitor to Amazon.EBay's board rejected the proposal, calling the offer "neither credible nor attractive."Cohen argued that he doesn't want the package ⁠so that GameStop's leadership can fully focus on its operating performance and the planned acquisition.SpaceX handed lowest possible ESG rating by MSCI: Triple C score puts Elon Musk's company on par with Russia after 2022 invasion of UkraineMusk 'most obvious risk' following SpaceX's lowest possible ESG rating“Board of Directors: The SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES board currently has an independent majority, which enables it to more effectively fulfill its critical function of overseeing management on behalf of shareholders. The company has failed to split the roles of CEO and chairman, which may limit the board's independence from current management interests. Split CEO and chairman roles are characteristic of 67% of companies in this market.”Welltower CFO's $167 million pay package sets new recordWelltower's Tim McHugh is the new highest-paid finance chief among the biggest U.S. companies. His $167 million pay package in 2025 not only dwarfs that of his CFO peers but also outpaces the compensation of many CEOs.McHugh's pay at Welltower, a real-estate investment trust focused on rental housing for seniors, surpasses the $139 million compensation package received by Tesla's Vaibhav Taneja in 2024. This puts him more than $135 million above Alphabet's Anat Ashkenazi, the next highest-paid CFO in 2025. And it secures him a spot in the club of executives making $100 million or more, a group that remains rare.Here's what the article DID NOT MENTION: CEO Shankh Mitra: $821MGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Scientists Say New Method Turns Coffee Grounds Into High-Potency Renewable FuelAccording to a press release from South Korea's National Research Council of Science and Technology, a team of researchers at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) have developed a method to convert spent coffee waste into high-quality charcoal, known as biochar.While that's a feat in and of itself, the kicker is the method's blistering speed: it takes just 90 seconds from start to finish, with no drawn-out drying process or oil separation required. According to the release, the new technique solves a major issue in extracting the latent energy potential of spent coffee beans.DR: Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate DR MMThe bill would incrementally increase the minimum wage from its current rate of $7.25, with the first jump to $12 an hour in the first year of enactment. Major corporations would have six years to work up to a $25 minimum wage, while smaller employers would have a 13-year runway. The legislation would also do away with subminimum wages for tipped workers, such as restaurant servers, youth workers and workers with disabilities. Nearly half of the American workforce makes less than $25 an hour.DR: Federal judge blocks new law aimed at ESG, DEI investing decisionsA federal judge has blocked Kansas from enforcing a new law that requires institutional investment advisers to make certain disclosures when recommending against company management on issues, including environmental, social and governance principles.U.S. District Judge Holly Teeter on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction halting enforcement of law enacted last session that two major national institutional investment advisers said was unconstitutional because it discriminated based on speech.MM: MacKenzie Scott alone accounted for one-third of America's $19.2 billion in megagifts last yearAssholiest of the Week (MM):CEO SPEED ROUND - ONE HEADLINE, ONE CEO, ONE LINERTim Cook - It's pretty sweet to quit your job and let the new guy fight the union: Apple closed America's first unionized store and blocked workers from transfers — now the union is fighting backJamie Dimon - It was easy - we just pointed to the ones with boobs and said “Not you”: How JPMorgan went from 3 female CEO contenders to an all-male succession raceZuck - The best thing about being a little man king with no accountability is I can randomly change and unchange and rechange my mind… about people's lives: Meta pauses an AI training program that tracks employees' keystrokes after an internal leakLarry Fink - Have you SEEN the size of my signature???

The higher the score, the more likely a CEO was to publicly oppose remote and hybrid work and seek additional status (like a board chairmanship).

What's the number nobody talks about? For boutique fitness studio owners, it's the sale price. But this episode isn't just for owners preparing to sell. It's for anyone who wants to build a studio that is more valuable, more transferable, and less dependent on them carrying the whole business. Shay and Barry sit down with Mitch McGinley, founder of Boutique Fitness Broker and author of The Number Nobody Talks About: How to Prepare, Price, and Sell Your Boutique Fitness Studio. Mitch helps yoga, Pilates, and boutique fitness studio owners prepare for successful exits. After buying and selling his own yoga studio with his wife Karson, he became the person other studio owners turned to when they were ready to sell. Since then, he has helped close 70+ studio transactions totaling $30M. In this conversation, we talk about what buyers are actually looking for, why owner-dependence creates risk, how systems and team training build confidence, and why a strong brand is not just a marketing asset... it's an operational asset. Whether you want to sell in two years, ten years, or never, this episode will change the way you think about the business you're building.

In this episode, I break down exactly how I went from running smaller businesses to acquiring a company at scale without giving up control. I share how I built my audience, why I went all in on Somewhere instead of cashing out, and how I structured a nearly $30M deal where investors got paid first but had zero decision-making power. I talk about the pressure of using other people's money, what I look for in massive opportunities, and why global hiring completely changed how I think about building companies. I also give my honest take on AI, where it's overhyped, where it's actually useful, and how I'm preparing for what's coming next.

Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview trial lawyers Bill Horton and D'Arcy L.R. Rapp about their Dallas trial of Davis v. NCAA, arising from SMU lineman JT Davis's repeated head impacts from 1955–1959, his later dementia, and a postmortem Boston University diagnosis of stage four CTE after his 2016 death.   CASE SUMMARY: They discuss securing a $140 million verdict ($30M compensatory, $110M punitive), the NCAA's historical knowledge of concussion risks through decades of medical literature and internal documents (including a 1933 medical handbook), and how the team simplified complex science and governance evidence using timelines, boards, and themes like control, competitive disadvantage, and “recommendations vs rules.” They address defenses including Alzheimer's, vascular factors, APOE4 genetic predisposition (framed as eggshell plaintiff), statute-of-limitations discovery issues, and trial strategy, cross-examinations, and damages presentation. (READ MORE)   GUEST BIOS BILL HORTON: Bill Horton has spent his career fighting for people who the system often overlooks—delivering results that stand among the largest in his field, including a $140 million verdict against the NCAA. Since earning his law degree in 2001, Bill has helped clients across Arkansas and the country secure justice against corporations, insurers, and powerful institutions. His work spans catastrophic injury, wrongful death, trucking litigation, class actions, and complex cases where the stakes are highest. Raised in Van Buren, Arkansas, Bill's path into law was shaped early. “Growing up poor, it became clear that the system wasn't fair for folks like me—and I wanted to change that,” he says. That perspective still drives his work today. (READ MORE)   D'Arcy L.R. Rapp: D'Arcy L.R. Rapp is an attorney at Shrader & Associates, LLP.

If you want the aggregate info of all the numbers, meaning the net worth, spending, income of 50+ founders ranging from $10m to $1 billion: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrOk, so let's talk David Royce, today's guest:He built the same pest control company four times — $13M, $30M, $135M, $1.5B — and says the first exit was the most life-changing.David Royce sold four pest control companies — Moxie, Eco First, Altera, and Aptiv — each bigger than the last, culminating in a $1.5B sale of Aptiv when it was doing $508M in annual revenue. He kept 100% equity through the first three, gave 25% of the last one to his employees, and personally walked away with hundreds of millions across the run. He's now on an indefinite sabbatical, investing through Iconic (the firm that manages Zuckerberg's and Dorsey's money), with half his net worth in S&P 500 and the rest in private equity, direct deals, and alternatives — including multiple Anthropic investments.This episode covers the exact mechanics of each asset-sale exit, why David kept restarting instead of holding, his full portfolio framework (including the 4-year cash buffer strategy), the "the answer is just a little more" moment that hit every entrepreneur in the room, and the story of flying his dying father on a private jet from a New Orleans hospital to Cedars-Sinai at 2am — made possible only by one call to a CEO WhatsApp chain.Timestamps:00:01:39 — David's full intro: four companies, four exits, what actually happened with the money01:55 — First company (Moxie): nearly went bankrupt the first year, how a cash flow crisis taught him "cash was king"03:14 — The asset-sale strategy: selling customers and technicians to Terminix while keeping the sales operation04:57 — "Pretty close" — David confirms Forbes' reported $13M and $30M exit figures05:37 — Why he gave 25% of Aptiv to employees and stepped back as chairman06:23 — Aptiv was doing $508M in revenue; Daniel and David settle on $1.5B as the sale range07:13 — What he actually took home: cap gains, California taxes, "hundreds of millions"08:37 — Net worth today: "do the math backwards and figure it out"09:09 — Portfolio breakdown: 4-year cash buffer in fixed income, S&P 500 with tax-loss harvesting, alternatives11:31 — "I just invested in Anthropic — three different times in the last year and a half" via Iconic14:35 — "The one that was life-changing was the first one" — $13M from nothing hits differently than $1.5B17:46 — Why pest control?

CannCon and Zak Paine open GART week with a Monday show full of political fireworks before Deadwood. Trump called it on Truth Social over the weekend and it happened: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns, becoming the seventh British leader in ten years. Zak connects Starmer's tenure to the Jimmy Savile prosecution he buried and the Pakistani rape gang cases he never brought. Colombia elects Trump-backed political outsider Abelardo de la Espriella in a razor-thin vote, and CannCon flags the remarkable connection: de la Espriella was the attorney for Alex Saab, the Maduro associate who briefed the Trump administration on Central American cartel corruption, making his election look like the Venezuela playbook in one more country. Chuck Schumer goes on MSNBC and inadvertently confirms 25 to 30 million people would come off the voter rolls under the SAVE America Act. Politico drops a hit piece on Ruben Gallego's PAC spending covering Disney trips, a St. Barts birthday, an au pair, and Super Bowl attendance with Eric Swalwell, and CannCon says something big is coming. Ilhan Omar's husband goes from a $30M net worth to negative $95,000 in one year. A federal judge clears the DOJ to hand Biden's audio tapes to the Heritage Foundation. And the Iran deal continues its on-again-off-again cycle as Trump threatens to take over the Strait of Hormuz entirely.

In this episode, I'm getting into the thing that's quietly running your cortisol, tanking your hormones, and keeping your body in a permanent state of survival mode, and it's happening in your own home.Why codependency shows up in your body as stubborn fat, high insulin, and hormones that won't cooperate How the resentment you're carrying in your relationship is literally keeping your nervous system too dysregulated to lose weightThe difference between feeling safe at home and feeling safe in your body Why fixing your relationship patterns does more for your body than any protocol, plan, or hormone therapy aloneThis isn't relationship coaching. This is root cause. And this is the conversation nobody in the health and fitness space is having.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App.$30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

In this episode of the Org Design Podcast, Amy Springer talks with Jacob Chase, founder of The Infin, about one of the hardest questions in org design: how do you fairly value what a person actually contributes? Drawing on his background as an investment banker and hedge fund investor — and his experience scaling a 150-person, $30M real estate business — Jacob shares how a single underpaid 'rock star' employee sparked his search for a better way to measure impact. The answer came from an unexpected place: the stock market. Jacob explains how he built an internal 'market' for attributing credit, where every team member's peer feedback aggregates into a live, dynamic picture of contribution. The result is a more credible, less political, and more transparent approach to performance — one that decentralizes accountability, surfaces hidden leadership (and hidden problems), and ultimately connects each person's contribution to fair compensation. 00:00 Welcome & introducing Jacob Chase (The Infin) 00:19 From Wall Street to org design 01:34 Investor vs. operator: why people drive returns 04:10 Transferable skills from Wall Street: thoroughness & rigor 05:29 The underpaid 'rock star' and the problem of measuring contribution 07:07 How a broader impact became visible 08:37 Why the classic HR review model falls short 09:30 Borrowing from stock markets: a market for value 11:26 Decentralizing accountability & removing politics 12:47 Surfacing hidden leadership and underperformance 15:22 Smoothing performance anxiety in an uncertain world 19:42 Connecting contribution to the 'pie' and compensation 21:54 Who brings this to their org (CEO-led) 22:43 Final thoughts: get people the right inputs The Org Design Podcast https://www.functionly.com/org-design-podcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/company/orgdesignpodcast/ Functionly https://www.functionly.com /https://www.linkedin.com/company/functionly/

Sid Yadav is the CEO and co-founder of Circle, a community platform trusted by creators like Jay and thousands of others to build membership businesses. Today, Circle has ~280 employees and has raised around $30 million.

A conversation with Trevor Muir -- leadership coach, keynote speaker, poet, and co-founder of SurePoint, the Alberta-based company he helped scale from $4 million to over $120 million in revenue while holding on to its people through a near-bankruptcy and a pandemic. This is not an episode about farming or fuel prices. It is a conversation about what happens when you get everything you thought you wanted and still feel empty on the bathroom floor of a condo you own. It is about terminal uniqueness -- the belief that nobody could possibly understand -- and the slow, expensive way most of us learn it isn't true. Trevor and I met earlier this year in a leadership course he was teaching with Corliss Russell. I broke down in the intro. A room full of oilfield and farm guys went there with me.

How do you scale a consulting business from £2M to £30M without losing culture, customer focus, or entrepreneurial energy?In this episode, Joe O'Mahoney speaks with Stuart Packham, Group CEO of Alchemist Group, about scaling professional services businesses through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions, operational rigor, and people-first leadership. Stuart shares lessons from building a private equity-backed buy-and-build platform across leadership development, sales training, and experiential learning.The conversation explores the realities of integrating acquired firms, managing founders during M&A transitions, and balancing infrastructure with entrepreneurial culture. Stuart also discusses how consulting firms should think about AI, both as a customer-facing capability and as an internal scalability lever, while avoiding “technology for technology's sake.” The discussion also covers private equity partnerships, the importance of financial discipline and operational infrastructure, and why culture and sales enablement become critical as firms grow internationally.Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(03:20) Building a Buy-and-Build Consulting Platform(07:50) AI's Impact on Consulting and Sales Training(15:50) Scaling from £2M to £30M Revenue(19:40) Infrastructure, Systems, and Operational Control(26:00) What Private Equity Really Changes(33:20) Culture, Retention, and Integration in M&A(39:30) Common Sales Mistakes in Boutique ConsultanciesFollow Stuart on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuartpackham Alchemist Group Website:https://thisisalchemist.com RAIN Group Website:https://www.rainsalestraining.com Send us Fan MailProf. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit. Follow Joe on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeomahoney/Follow Joe on Twitter:https://twitter.com/joeomahoneyVisit Joe's Website:https://www.equitysherpa.com

Dr. Mark Grether, SVP and General Manager of PayPal Ads, joins Phillip from PayPal's Manhattan offices to argue that the merchant storefront is migrating off owned websites and into LLMs. This may make the mechanics of customer experience and loyalty a bit murky, but Mark explains how PayPal's "transaction graph,”  built on real purchases across 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers, acts as the deterministic identity layer that the post-cookie ad world has been missing.  We also cover the evolving world of commerce media, from zero-click commerce and CTV attribution to PayPal Ads' newest product, Storefront Ads, which transforms the creative into the checkout.  The Cart Cartographer Key takeaways: Consumers now start product discovery on LLMs, not search engines or merchant sites. PayPal's transaction graph spans 30M merchants and 400M consumers, representing real purchases, not just clicks. Deterministic payment identity beats cookies and probabilistic IDs for cross-channel attribution. Storefront Ads turn any ad into a one-click, pre-populated checkout. Creators run two businesses: generating consumer data, then monetizing it. [00:04:03] "We're not just seeing behavior, we're actually seeing the real transactions. We know what people are purchasing — not whether they search for something or browse for something. We actually see what they are buying." – Mark Grether [00:11:00] "The trick about our identity is it was built from a finance perspective, meaning I need to understand that you are you and not your twin brother. Our identity has to clear a much higher bar compared to probabilistic IDs or cookies." – Mark Grether [00:13:40] "The idea of Storefront Ads is that the creative itself becomes the shop. You're getting exposed to the sneakers, and with one click, you can actually make the purchase. We already know who you are, we know your bank account, we know your address — everything is pre-populated. From a consumer perspective, it becomes super easy to finish a transaction."

Tim Hammond opens with one frame: most buyers are reactive. The phone rings, the land is available, they start figuring out whether they can buy it. Tim's position is that question should have been answered two years before the call. The prepared buyer already has the number. The unprepared buyer watches somebody else close it. Wade walks the Four Ds from the buyer's seat -- Define (kitchen table, ambitions, logistics), Discover (compile, blueprint), Design (three options, pros/cons, recommendation), Deliver (execute). Tim notes the process is not linear; in practice they cycle back to Define as new information surfaces. The container for all of it is the war room: accountant, lender, lawyer, and real estate advisor in the same room at the same time. Poll 2 found zero percent of the audience had done this. Tim was not surprised. The second half opens the capital question. Wade is working a live deal where a seller with a $70M holding is willing to retain $30M to make the transaction possible for a buyer who cannot finance the full amount. Tim names the industry horizon: not enough capital exists in the system to transition all the farms that need to move in the next two to three decades, and creative structures -- tranches, seller retention, equity partnerships -- will become the standard, not the exception. Two topics flagged for future episodes: right of first refusal (common, well-intentioned, six-figure exit consequences if set up wrong) and the young farmer entry question (Joshua from Lethbridge, land at $20K-$30K per acre -- Tim's answer: start the conversation before you think you need to). KEY TOPICS - Poll 1: 55% said biggest barrier is structure (no entity or plan); 33% said finding land; 9% financing; 0% timing - Poll 2: 0% have a war room with all advisors at the table; 40% partially; 30% no; 10% did not know that was the move - Poll 3: 33% actively looking or in a deal; 8% positioned and waiting; 17% thinking about it; 25% harvest mode; 17% advisors here for the framework - Four Ds applied to the buyer: Define, Discover, Design, Deliver -- not linear, frequently cycles back to Define - The war room: accountant + lender + lawyer + real estate advisor in the same room at the same time - Most expensive mistake in 30 days: buying land that doesn't fit your operation (Wade: "You've just spent $500K to $1M on a quarter you shouldn't have bought, and now when the right one shows up, you might not be able to") - Seller retaining $30M on a $70M deal: creative structure enabling the deal to close for a buyer who can't finance the full amount - Capital supply gap: not enough capital in the system to transition all farms needing succession in the next 2-3 decades - Saskatchewan: average farmer owns 2/3 of the land they farm -- highest ratio in the world (US is 40%, Europe is 10-20%) - Cap rate gap: investors require 2.5-4%; farmers outbid investors because they capture both land return and operating return - Right of first refusal: flagged as common-but-misunderstood tool with major exit consequences -- future episode - Young farmers question: Joshua from Lethbridge, land at $20K-$30K per acre; Tim's answer: start the conversation before you think you need to CONNECT - Tim Hammond and Wade Berlinic: hammondrealty.ca - growingthefuture.ca Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.

Bob Verlaat and Nick Nijhof are Amsterdam-based entrepreneurs and Co-Founders of Hears, the fast-growing hearing protection brand redefining earplugs through premium design and industry-leading sound clarity. Prior to Hears, the duo successfully scaled luxury sleep wellness brand Dore & Rose to $30M in revenue, building deep expertise in branding, Ecommerce, and consumer behavior. Their entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by creating products that solve real consumer problems while building emotionally resonant brands. After Bob experienced hearing damage and persistent tinnitus from loud music, the pair became increasingly aware of the global problem of noise-induced hearing loss and the lack of earplugs people actually wanted to wear. Existing products compromised sound quality, looked unattractive, and failed to fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles. Driven by that personal frustration, Bob and Nick spent 1.5 years researching and developing Hears from scratch, investing in patented filter technology and an award-winning heart-shaped design focused on preserving natural sound while protecting hearing. Since launching in 2024, Hears has generated $7M in first-year revenue, won the Red Dot Design Award, and partnered with globally recognized brands and venues including Yves Saint Laurent and Pacha Ibiza.

Cara came to me in 2020, thinking she needed to lose weight. She was 52, stuck in survival mode, and convinced her best years were behind her. She'd given up. But what happened over the next six years wasn't about macros or meal plans. It was about rebuilding her identity from the inside out.Today she's 58, leading one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the country, and proving that your life doesn't end just because you're not 25 anymore. If you think it's too late for you, this one's gonna hit different.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App.$30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

I'm done watching fitness coaches rob women blind with the same recycled bullsh*t that never works long-term. After 16 years in this industry, I'm finally saying what no one else will: your weight, your hormones, your energy issues aren't about macros or meal plans or another $8,000 hormone panel. It's the survival mode you've been living in for so long you don't even know you're in it. In this episode, I'm ripping the curtain back on why everything you've tried has failed, why rest feels unsafe, why you can't keep results even when you get them, and what actually moves the needle when you're ready to stop pissing money away and start healing the real issue. If you've been spinning your wheels and burning cash on programs that don't stick, this one's for you.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App.$30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

Thinking about gifting money or assets to your kids or other family members? Before you write that check or transfer that stock, there are some important tax rules and planning pitfalls you need to understand.In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, Nate, Evan, and Polly break down everything you need to know about lifetime gifting — from the 2026 annual gift tax exclusion ($19,000 per recipient) to the lifetime gift tax exemption ($15 million individual / $30 million for married couples). They explain when you need to file Form 709, what types of assets you can gift, and why gifting appreciated stock can actually backfire thanks to the step-up in basis trap.The conversation goes beyond tax rules into the real-world side of gifting that most people overlook. How do you talk to your kids about receiving a large gift? What happens to your child's college financial aid if you gift them money at the wrong time? And why does relinquishing control over the gift matter more than most people realize?They also cover custodial accounts vs. 529 plans, the tax implications of gifting real estate, and the most common pitfalls advisors see when clients try to gift without a plan. Whether you're thinking about helping your kids with a down payment, funding a grandchild's education, or simply passing along wealth while you're alive to see it enjoyed, this episode gives you the framework to do it the right way.Topics covered:- What assets you can gift (cash, stock, real estate, and more)- 2026 annual gift tax exclusion ($19,000) and when to file Form 709- Lifetime gift tax exemption ($15M individual / $30M married)- The step-up in basis trap when gifting appreciated stock- Real estate gifting considerations- Why communication with gift recipients matters- How gifting affects college financial aid and FAFSA- Custodial accounts vs. 529 plans- Why relinquishing control is essential- Where to start before you gift- Common gifting pitfalls to avoidCheck out the related blog post for additional information - https://walknercondon.com/blog/gifting-to-family-members-what-to-know-before-you-give/ Chapters:0:00 – Introduction & Evan's CFP Journey1:49 – Polly's Milestone: First Tooth & the Tooth Fairy Economy3:03 – What Assets Can You Gift?4:50 – 2026 Annual Gift Tax Exclusion ($19,000) & Form 7096:13 – Lifetime Gift Tax Exemption ($15M Individual / $30M Married)6:50 – Gifting Stock: The Step-Up in Basis Trap9:04 – Real Estate & Other Asset Gifting Considerations9:57 – Why Communication with Recipients Matters11:37 – Impact on College Aid & FAFSA12:41 – Custodial Accounts & 529 Plans14:52 – The Importance of Relinquishing Control15:47 – Where to Start Before You Gift18:13 – Common Gifting Pitfalls to Avoid21:16 – Best Gifts We Ever Received21:56 – Closing Thoughts & Contact InformationSubscribe @walknercondon Visit our website for more financial planning resources and educational information: https://www.walknercondon.com ————————————————ADD US ON:LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/walkner-condon-financial-advisors-llc Facebook: https://facebook.com/walknercondon

Most people think a quantum leap is fast. A collapsed timeline. Something significant appearing with minimal effort.This episode is about the other kind.The quantum leap that unfolds across decades. The one that changes not just your life but your children's lives and their children's lives. The one that is so deeply rooted it has no option but to grow — like a tree whose roots go so deep the height becomes inevitable.I have never heard anyone speak about quantum leaping in this way. And yet it may be the most powerful form of manifestation available to us.In this episode:— Why the manifestation backlash is happening — and what it reveals about frequency levels and how we've been taught to manifest from the wrong place— The quantum leap that takes decades, and why that's not a limitation but a superpower— How a small recurring community — built around your natural gifts — can become a $30M portfolio over 37 years through the compound effect alone— Why manifesting quickly can land on quicksand — and how slow, rooted intention creates the foundation for something that actually sticks— The daughter thread: what it means to light the path for the next generation rather than leaving them to find their own way in the dark— Purpose as the thing that keeps us alive — a conversation with a 75-year-old woman that stopped me completely— Why human beings are built for long communities, not short transactions — and what it means to be witnessed by the same people across decadesThe numbers that stopped people in their tracks:333 members. $150 a month. Half invested for 10 years at 10% growth.You stop investing after year 10. The portfolio keeps compounding on its own.By year 37 — without a single new pound going in — that becomes $30M.That is the quantum leap. Not a lucky break. Not a viral moment. Architecture.This episode is for you if:You are done with urgency as a spiritual practice. You are building something real, slowly, from your actual frequency — and you want to understand what that looks like across the full arc of a life.Join Spiritualised — The MembershipThe slow, curated, deeply interior space for the woman building a quiet business so she can live a deeply interior life.Film nights.

They walk through why "insurability is a currency," how convertible term lets you shield tens of millions from estate tax without consuming your exemption, and why the conventional advice to move everything out of your estate is often wrong.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment01:55 – Why estate planning is unique to every family 04:25 – The Last Will and Testament: pros, cons, and the guardianship rule 09:35 – The "title test": what goes in the will vs. the trust 12:30 – Probate, public record, and Robin Williams 18:10 – Revocable trusts: what they actually do 25:40 – Frankenstein trusts and the funding problem 27:55 – Pour-over wills as the catch-all 33:25 – Why vague language kills directives 41:30 – Financial power of attorney and conservatorship 44:20 – Why banks demand their own POA forms 48:50 – Why the four documents stay separate 51:35 – Estate tax vs. income tax 01:01:00 – A real case: $6M policy, the irrevocable fix 01:04:00 – Insurability is a currency 01:11:50 – The Rockefeller Method: IBC on the kids 01:17:25 – Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts 01:23:50 – Why the IRS allows hot-swapping assets 01:35:15 – Apocalyptic optionality: how IBC creates options 01:37:35 – Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways:Every American needs the big four documents: a will, a revocable trust, a medical directive, and a financial power of attorney. The will is non-negotiable if you have kids because it names guardians, and a trust cannot.Insurability is a currency. Every healthy year you don't lock in coverage is wealth left on the table, and convertible term placed in an irrevocable trust consumes $0 of your $30M estate tax exemption.The contrarian play is to keep assets in your estate, not out of it. Preserve the step-up in basis on appreciating assets, then use massive life insurance death benefit (owned irrevocably) to pay the inevitable tax bill tax-free.Whole life beat the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index in 9 of the last 10 years after tax. The 15-year return on the broadest bond index is 2.21% taxable versus roughly 4.5-5% tax-free for dividend-paying whole life, with a death benefit on top.The Rockefeller Method scales this across generations. Start max-funded IBC policies on the kids, keep them in your estate, and create cascading multi-generational liquidity where each generation gets a step-up and tax-free death benefit to pay the next round of taxes.

There are moments in Scripture that feel bigger than history. The plagues of Egypt, the Tower of Babel, Mount Hermon, and the words of Jesus at Caesarea Philippi all point to a spiritual conflict that goes far beyond what most people realize. Egypt's gods were not powerless myths carved from stone but entities tied to darkness, rebellion, and deception. Every plague in Exodus became a public judgment against those powers, revealing the supremacy of God over every throne, principality, and false authority worshiped by man.From the Tower of Babel to Mount Hermon, mountains throughout Scripture became places connected with rebellion, false worship, and attempts to access supernatural power apart from God. Caesarea Philippi stood as one of the clearest declarations that hell itself would not overcome the Church of Jesus Christ.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode of The Green Grind Podcast, Kory and LeRoy sit down with operations expert Tommy Cole—a guy who's not just talking theory, but has lived it. From scaling a landscaping company from $4M to $30M to consulting businesses across the country, Tommy brings real-world insight into what it actually takes to run profitable, efficient operations. The conversation dives deep into one of the biggest gaps in the green industry: what happens after the sale. Tommy breaks down why most companies lose money before a shovel even hits the ground—and how poor handoffs, lack of planning, and weak systems quietly destroy margins.

You had me laughing on your description of the Brits. I am a Southern Belle married to a Brit - well, a Scot. Having lived in the UK and here, you nailed it in terms of their food, washing machines in the kitchen, and I could easily list a whole bunch of other stuff that is so different. The feelings that they (the Brits) are better than everyone else is real - until they marry an American and live here - quite the humbling experience for them. We live in central North Carolina and the hubs DIES every summer with the heat and humidity. Back to the food though, I'm also half Puerto Rican and so, we like a little spice to our food. This was a major adjustment for the hubs, but now, he's all about Southern comfort food and the Latino heat.

In this episode, Ryan Burke reflects on his journey from selling roofs in Colorado Springs to founding Bulldog Roofing at 23 and partnering with Shore Capital to help build Skycrest Roof. He shares how frustration with bad actors in the industry and a belief that customers and employees deserved better pushed him to take the leap and start the business out of his living room. Ryan discusses the rapid growth that followed, the chaos that came with it, and the hard lessons of moving from hustle to structure as the business scaled to sixty people and $30M in revenue. He talks candidly about his initial fears around private equity, why protecting his team of family and friends was his top priority, and how meeting the people at Shore shifted his perspective on partnership. Ryan highlights the importance of readiness, the value of building real processes and resilience into a business, and what Skycrest is looking for in the next generation of founders as it continues to grow.Key Takeaways:Frustration with bad actors and a belief that customers and employees deserve better can become the foundation for building a business with real integrity and lasting culture.Moving from hustle to structure is the hard but necessary work of scaling, where documented processes, defined roles, and clear procedures turn chaos into resilience.Readiness to partner is not just about age or financial outcomes, but about understanding what you want, knowing your team, and finding a buyer who treats your people and your legacy with care.The right partnership brings creativity to the deal, expertise to the table, and a shared commitment to growing the business without losing the culture and people that built it.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction02:51 – Founding Bulldog Roofing05:49 – From Hustle to Structure08:39 – Readiness and Finding Shore17:40 – Evolving as a Leader21:14 – Building Skycrest RoofListen to our podcasts at:https://www.shorecp.university/podcastsYou'll also find other Microcap Moments episodes, alongside our series Everyday Heroes and Bigger.

You feel it, don't you? That constant pressure to post more, create more, be more online — just to keep up. Meanwhile, your pipeline isn't moving the way it should. Here's what nobody's telling you: the top-producing loan officers I work with aren't stressing about their next post going viral. They're doing something different. Something that's been working since before social media existed. And it's making a massive comeback. In this episode, I'm going off-script to challenge the "post more" narrative that the gurus keep pushing. I'll share why IRL — in real life — local influence is outperforming the algorithm for the loan officers I coach. And I'll give you real stories from real LOs who've added $20M, $30M, even doubled their production — not by becoming influencers, but by becoming the go-to lender in their local market. You'll hear: → Why the "content creator" pressure is burning you out (and what to do instead) → The strategy that's landing LOs in front of 20-30 agents at a time → How one LO turned a single workshop into a spot on a national sales training call with 400+ agents → Why direct mail is working (yes, even with millennials) → Jeff Bezos's question that should change how you think about your business → Details on the Agent Referral Accelerator cohort launching May 21st If you're tired of feeding the algorithm and ready to build real relationships that generate real referrals — this one's for you.
