Health Insurance is Rigged & Controlled by the Big Companies w/ Donvan Ryckis of Ethos Benefits   - AZ TRT S06 EP10 (272) 6-15-2025              What We Learned This Week Health Insurance is primarily run by the Big 4 - BUCA: Blue Cross United Healthcare, CIGNA, Aetna To Insurance Co's – Premium = Revenue, and they are not going lower profits, so no incentive to lower costs Health insurance employer group plans can be broken down into 4 Parts Network PPO is what people typically think of when they think of health insurance There have been revisions to the Healthcare Act passed in 2021   Guest: Donovan Ryckis, Ethos Benefits https://ethosbenefits.com/   https://ethosbenefits.com/documentary/ https://businessofbenefitspodcast.com/   Our Ethos is Simple: Fiduciary First. Act in the best interest of those we serve—no matter the cost. ‘Ethos' represents the guiding principle, character, or spirit of a person or organization. It's the ‘why' that drives decision-making and fuel's purpose. Our Ethos is deeply rooted in the story of our Founder, Donovan Ryckis. Over a decade ago, Donovan, a fiduciary Series 65 securities advisor specializing in retirement and pension planning, was approached by a client facing a dire situation. The client's publicly traded broker claimed there was no solution for a staggering 37.5% health insurance renewal increase—a cost that threatened the business and its employees. With no prior experience in health insurance markets but guided by his unwavering fiduciary principles, Donovan took on the challenge. The result? He mitigated the risk entirely, delivering a solution 12% below the current rate. This allowed the business to thrive and ensured hundreds of employees wouldn't have to choose between basic necessities and skyrocketing health premiums. That moment sparked a revelation. The fraud, waste, and abuse Donovan had fought in retirement planning paled in comparison to the challenges in healthcare. He saw an opportunity to bring transparency and fiduciary principles to an industry in desperate need of change. Donovan pivoted his career, becoming one of the first fee-based health insurance advisors in the nation. By removing all conflicts of interest in broker compensation, he laid the foundation for what is now the leading innovative employee benefits agency in the country, delivering higher quality care at a significantly lower cost to employers nationwide.       Notes:   Ethos Benefits deals with employee benefits, with a primary focus on group health insurance   Per Donovan ‘Employee benefits are rigged'   Insurance company premium equals revenue. There is no incentive to lower cost, as it would lower profits.   ACA Obamacare passed in 2010, and it capped profits for insurance companies at 20%   Insurance Co's are working to expand their pool to make more profit   Health Insurance guarantees inflation keeps going up, so family of 4 could spend 35K a year   For a business, healthcare cost and employee benefits are a top 3 P&L expense   Ethos strategies can create a 30 to 40% reduction on premium impact to lower costs for a business   The HQ is in Florida, but they are a virtual office with agents and clients nationwide   Healthcare finance and delivery + Improving employee benefits     Seg 1   Donovan's bio, he was a financial advisor with a Series 65 license before he got into health insurance. Around 2014 he moved into health insurance seeing an opportunity for better service.   Typically you see agents who are working for the health insurance company and not really working for the employer companies they are selling to.   Health insurance is primarily run by the Big 4 – BUCA: Blue Cross United Healthcare, CIGNA, Aetna.   Health insurance employer group plans can be broken down into 4 Parts:   1.    TPA or third-party administrator 2.    Network PPO or HMO 3.    Pharmacy benefit RX 4.    Insurance that covers the caps the limits on the stop loss   PPO is your primary network and open on using referrals HMO is a non-preferred network typically has less offerings and tight on referrals   Ethos Benefits helps employers to break up the four parts of a group plan and customize   Network PPO is what people typically think of when they think of health insurance.   Network and the Big 4 health companies have a tighter deal with doctors and contract prices. A lot is pre-negotiated with a set of rates, which is the point of a PPO. This is where you get larger claims and they run in the system of healthcare.     Seg 2   Pay more for healthcare in the U.S. than the rest of the world   The biggest pharmaceutical companies are in the US Pharmaceutical companies in flight prices, and also set the prices They make money through spread pricing   Employers can actually pick up their own Pharma benefit and get the rebates that the big health insurance companies are not giving them   Healthcare system is a rigged game The fraud waste and abuse extremely high in health   401(k) and retirement benefit industry is actually tighter with more disclosure than the healthcare industry   Regulated better since the creation of the Securities Act in the 1930s and updates that ran through the 1970s and beyond with things like ERISA   There have been revisions to the healthcare act passed in 2021 - started in Jan.2022   Actions had 3 disclosures: ·         Brokers comp and bonus ·         Data with gag, clauses, and full access to data upon request ·         Benchmarking for drug cost     Further Notes via Google:   The revisions you are likely referring to are part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA). While the CAA was passed in late 2020, many of its provisions, including those related to transparency in healthcare, became effective on January 1, 2022.  The three key areas of disclosure you mentioned are directly addressed within these regulations: 1.            Broker's Compensation and Bonuses: The CAA amends ERISA Section 408(b)(2) and requires service providers, including brokers, to disclose specific information to group health plan fiduciaries. 2.            Data Transparency (Gag Clauses and Full Access to Data): The CAA prohibits gag clauses, which prevent plans from providing access to their data. It also requires health insurance carriers to attest annually to their compliance with this prohibition. Moreover, the Health DATA Act, a proposed bill, would further reinforce the right of employers to access their data and hold service providers accountable for non-compliance. 3.            Benchmarking for Drug Costs: The CAA includes provisions regarding pharmacy benefit and drug cost reporting, which aims to provide greater transparency and potentially lead to better benchmarking of drug costs. The Build Back Better Act, a separate piece of legislation, also included provisions for Medicare to negotiate drug prices, further impacting drug costs and potential benchmarking.  These revisions aim to increase transparency in healthcare pricing and empower consumers and employers to make more informed decisions about their healthcare coverage.    Seg 3   Ethos works with Employers to create business plans usually with a 3 to 5 year time horizon. The goal is long-term to lower healthcare cost.   Example would be a company with 100 employees with 50 to 80% of them on the health plan (does not include dependents).   Ethos wants to keep the demands of a company low, easy transition.   Ethos handles employee Qs and healthcare navigation. Ethos is full service.   Risk handled 1 of 4 ways - Reduce, avoid, retain, transfer - Transfer to insurance   Broker wants to transfer risk Company can control costs Careful not to have too much disruption with a switch to a new company   Ex - start with pharmacy part NDC National Drug Code Run report vs costs   Pharmacy benefit mgr   Pre packaged health plan Gets co approved pharmacy benefit Save 5 - 15% on costs (30%)   Separate - parts of group plan     Seg 4   Brokers comp - incentives from big insurance companies   Opening move - edit pharmacy benefit piece   State by state - regulators and rules   Employers / employees Know the network and PPO   Nationwide covers insurance part – Stop-loss Insurance   30-40 major stop loss companies Ex: Allstate Met Life Sun Life   Stop-loss insurance for group health plans acts as a financial safety net for self-funded employers, protecting them from large, unpredictable medical claims. It is a form of additional insurance.   Healthcare risk is incredibly predictable on group basis   Overall predictable w stats, actuarial analysis   Gag clauses look at dataset from current carrier   Prescription database sets   3rd party admin are less of a concern, lots of claims   Average of 18 claims per employee per year, includes dependents   Data - review AI Claims analytics software   AI claims analytics software is transforming how insurance companies handle claims by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze data, automate tasks, and improve decision-making.    30 - 40% reduction in premium w Ethos     Further Notes via Google: Group Medical Plans Breakdown of the common components of a comprehensive employer group health plan, particularly within the context of a self-funded model.  Here's a more detailed explanation of each part: 1.            TPA (Third-Party Administrator): A TPA is a company that provides administrative services for self-funded health plans. This includes processing claims, handling enrollment, and managing other administrative tasks that would typically be done by an insurance company. 2.            Network (PPO or HMO): This refers to the group of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers that the health plan contracts with to provide services to its members. The network defines where employees can go to receive care and often dictates the level of coverage they will receive (e.g., in-network vs. out-of-network benefits). ·                                             PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): Offers more flexibility, allowing members to see out-of-network providers, though with higher out-of-pocket costs. ·                                             HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): Typically requires members to stay within the network for covered services, except in emergencies.                 Pharmacy Benefit (RX): This component manages the prescription drug coverage for the plan. It includes negotiating drug prices, processing claims for prescriptions, and managing the plan's formulary (list of covered drugs).                 Stop-Loss Insurance: This is a crucial element for self-funded employers. It protects the employer from catastrophic claim costs. If an individual employee or the entire group's claims exceed a certain threshold (the "attachment point"), the stop-loss insurance kicks in to cover the excess costs, limiting the employer's financial liability.  Additional Considerations: ·                     Data Access: Self-funded plans often provide employers with greater access to claims data, which can be used to analyze healthcare costs, identify trends, and implement strategies to improve employee health and manage costs. ·                     Benchmarking: Employers can use claims data and industry benchmarks to compare their plan's performance to similar organizations and negotiate better rates with providers and other vendors. ·                     Wellness Programs: Some employers offer wellness programs to encourage employees to adopt healthy behaviors and potentially reduce healthcare costs. ·                     Essential Health Benefits (ACA Compliance): Group health plans must comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which requires them to cover a list of essential health benefits, such as outpatient care, emergency services, hospitalization, and prescription drugs. ·                     Other Benefits: Group plans can also include other benefits, such as dental, vision, life insurance, and long- and short-term disability insurance.  Understanding these different parts is essential for employers to effectively manage their group health plan, control costs, and provide valuable benefits to their employees.      Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Struggling to grow your business or hit $1 million during a recession or stagflation? Discover the proven $1M Business Blueprint that works even in challenging economic downturns! In this insightful video from the Sales Show with Simon Severino, learn the easy way to build a profitable business that's fun to run, avoids bureaucracy, and can generate seven-figure income under any condition. Drawing on 22 years of experience coaching entrepreneurs, Simon reveals common mistakes to avoid and a step-by-step strategy for success. In this video, you'll discover: Why most businesses fail: The critical mistake of starting with low-ticket, low-profit products (like a $49 subscription requiring 666 clients annually) that push you into "hard mode" from the start. The "Easy Mode" 3-Stage Blueprint to $1 Million: Stage 1: Start with High-Ticket, One-on-One Work. Begin by offering a transformative, high-ticket main program (e.g., $25,000 to $27,000 per client) that significantly reduces costs or increases revenue for your clients. You only need 13 clients per year (approximately one per month) to achieve your first $330,000 with 90%+ profit margins. This foundational stage builds crucial traction, aiming for $30,000-$35,000 in monthly revenue before moving on. Stage 2: Add Hybrid & Group Offers. Once your main program has traction (around $35K/month), unbundle parts of what's working into a second, group-based or "done-with-you" offer (e.g., weekly group coaching at $1,000/month, paid upfront for higher profitability). This adds another $330,000(needing about 27 clients per year), bringing your total to $660,000 – creating an amazing lifestyle business for a one-founder business with a small team. Stage 3: Introduce Low-Tier Digital Products (Optional). The final, optional step involves adding a low-tier digital product like a paid community or software subscription. This stage, while generating the final $330,000 (requiring 666 clients), is the "toughest" and requires a team to manage the volume and administration, ensuring your lifestyle isn't compromised. Beyond the Million: Learn how to differentiate your income by stacking 5 to 7 additional income streams, including options, compounding portfolios, dividends, licensing, IP, and book royalties. The Sprint Club Advantage: This blueprint is the core of the strategies taught in the Sprint Club, designed to add over $200K to your life by helping you implement these diverse income streams.

snyopsis- Challenging the narrative on Palestine in this edition of our monthly Meet the BIPOC Press series : "The Encampments" documentary,  and its creators aim to push back against the dominant narrative on Palestine, highlighting the difference between the corporate media coverage and those who have no allegiance to money or corporations, and sparking a wider conversation about the world's first live streamed genocide. “The Encampments” co-produced by Macklemore, brings viewers into the anti-Gaza war protests at Columbia University and gets up close and personal with leaders including Mahmoud Khalil, the student negotiator currently detained by ICE in violation of a court's order. In this special episode in our series Meet the BIPOC Press, Laura sits down with Sueda Polat and Grant Miner, two of Khalil's colleagues in the encampments, who were suspended and expelled, respectively, as well as the film's co-director, journalist Kei Pritsker of BreakThrough News to discuss how the film came to be, and where the situation stands today as well as what's missing and who is misrepresented in commercial news. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on Columbia University's move to suspend four college journalists “being too close to the action.”“I don't really participate as a Jewish person, I participate as an activist and a person of conscience that is Jewish . . . There's a very insidious narrative that was basically, ‘If you're not Jewish and you're not Palestinian, then talking about this is strange. Having an opinion on this conflict is strange and you should just stop talking about it because you're probably only motivated by antisemitism.' I want to push back and say that anybody can have an opinion on this. It's the world's first livestreamed genocide.” - Grant MinerGuests:• Grant Miner: Columbia University Student Activist, The Encampments; President, SWC-UAW 2710• Sueda Polat: Columbia University Student Activist, The Encampments;  Graduate Student Human Rights• Kei Pritsker: Co-Director, The Encampments, Journalist, BreakThrough News Watch the special report released on YouTube May 23rd 5pm ET; PBS World Channel May 25th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Their meditations on grief, art, breath and more are beautifully woven together as the film poses the question, how do you keep breathing amidst the chaos? Catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the police killing of George Floyd, Gund and Woodson tap into our shared existence. The artists featured in the docu-poem, with a haunting soundtrack by Meshell Ndegeocello, work through questions of race, political violence, resistance and identity — so much of what shapes our lives and relationships. “This is not a love letter to this country but to us inside this country,” says Woodson in the film. “We see us. We love us. We make eye contact and nod to us”. In this conversation with Laura Flanders, the trio of longtime friends discuss the film from Aubin Pictures, the losses they experienced in the 80s, and how the arts and poetry can compel us to enact change. Can we reclaim the “meanwhile”?

In this episode, I got to sit down with the amazing Mandi Woodruff Santos—host and executive producer of the award-winning Brown Ambition podcast and the powerhouse behind Mandi Money Media. We talk about everything from humble beginnings and financial trauma to building a multi-six-figure career and helping other women of color do the same.Mandi's story is real, raw, and deeply inspiring. From growing up with a single mom and tight finances to getting laid off just three months into her "dream" job in NYC, she shares how she turned those challenges into fuel for creating financial security—and eventually, financial freedom. Now, with nearly a decade of podcasting and millions of listeners behind her, she's using her voice and experience to empower others.What we cover in this episode:How Mandi turned her love of books and storytelling into a journalism careerThe financial trauma that shaped her drive to build wealthWhy getting laid off early in her career was a blessing in disguiseThe myth of stability and how it keeps women stuckMandi's journey from $35K to $300K a year—and how she helps others do the sameThe importance of negotiating, pivoting, and betting on yourselfWhy now, more than ever, women of color need financial autonomyThis isn't your typical finance chat. Mandi keeps it 100% real about the emotional weight of money, how to take back your power, and how she's creating generational change—not just for herself, but for her kids and her community. Whether you're mid-pivot, dreaming of more, or just tired of feeling stuck, this conversation will light a fire under you.Mandi Woodruff-Santos is sought after personal finance expert and career coach. Most famously, she is the Host and Executive Producer of the very popular and award winning podcast Brown Ambition, the first money and career podcast for women of color by women of color. She is also the founder of the growing Mandi Money Media LLC which provides coaching and training on careers and negotiating those paychecks. Her mission with both is to empower women of color through financial and career education. Before all of this, Mandi started off as a journalist, but it was being laid off her job three months in trying to make ends meet that led her to vow to really teach herself about building a financial safety net and personal wealth and that was the beginning of a personal and professional journey that led her to the businesses she runs today.Need career coaching or help negotiating your salary for a new job or raise? https://www.mandimoney.com/And if you somehow haven't check out Brown Ambition podcast on Apple/Spotify and major streaming platforms. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brown-ambition/id1039708229

In a chilling conversation with Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, the co-authors unpack their Guardian essay on "End Times Fascism," exposing how today's billionaires and right-wing leaders aren't just profiting from global crises—they're actively accelerating them. As they delve into the apocalyptic ambitions behind Trump 2.0's economic agenda, the discussion asks: can we counter this death-drive with a bold, life-affirming vision for the future?ARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Find out why, in this chilling conversation with Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, co-authors of a revelatory essay on "End Times Fascism" in the Guardian. “Today's rightwing leaders and their rich allies are not just taking advantage of catastrophes, shock-doctrine and disaster-capitalism style,” write Klein and Taylor, “but simultaneously provoking, planning and seeking to profit off apocalypse.” These are deeply dangerous times, Taylor and Klein argue: “Trump 2.0's economic project is a Frankenstein's monster of the industries driving all of these threats—fossil fuels, weapons, and resource-ravenous cryptocurrency and AI.” As the Right prepares for the end of life as we know it, can we build a movement to counter their apocalyptic, fascist ideology? What about a vision of love and compassion for people and the planet? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on Elon Musk's recently privately-incorporated Tesla town in Brownsville, TX. “These people are preparing for the end of the world. They are abandoning this place. They are traitors. And so we respond to them in part by committing to where we are and by being committed to other people. And it sounds very simple, but I think there's something really fundamental and profound about that when you realize the scale to which these folks have decided to embrace this politics of contempt and abandonment.” - Astra Taylor“Under colonialism, the creation of nation states is pretty arbitrary. Guy with book decides to form country. That's what they see in Israel  . . . The idea that you can have a kind of an apartheid state, wealthy, high-tech fortress as a way to weather the storms that you yourself are unleashing. Israel's become a kind of a beacon for both the tech bros and the Theo Bros.” - Naomi Klein Guests:• Naomi Klein: Columnist, The Guardian; UBC Professor of Climate Justice; Co-Author, The Rise of End Times Fascism; Journalist & Best-Selling Author, Doppelganger, The Shock Doctrine, No Logo, This Changes Everything & On Fire• Astra Taylor: Author & Organizer; Co-Author, The Rise of End Times Fascism; Co-Founder, Debt Collective & Author, The Age of Insecurity, Co-author, Solidarity: The Past, Present, and Future of a World-Changing Idea Watch the special report released on YouTube May 9th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel May 11th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Según lo que proponían reputados coaches, en episodios anteriores asumimos tres reglas: (1) en las semanas pico, acumula el doble de kms de lo que será tu carrera, (2) busca que tu tirada larga sea el 60-70% de lo que será tu carrera, (3) si haces ultra-distancia, ajusta esto a la baja cuanto sea necesario. Entendimos que, para proponer eso, se basaban en el sentido común: acumula todo el volumen posible que pueda encajar tu cuerpo/ tu agenda sin comprometer el proceso de entrenamiento (y el resto de facetas de tu vida). Pues bien, hay al menos dos estudios que aportan algo de respaldo a las mencionadas reglas. Sendos estudios evidencian la importancia de doblar (o casi) la distancia de carrera en las semanas pico y de que tus tiradas largas representen el mayor porcentaje posible de tu carrera (por ej., tiradas de 35K para maratón).

The following timely commentary by Laura Flanders aired on GritTV in the summer of 2014. At the same time as the Iraq Sinjar crisis, Gaza was experiencing the 2014 Gaza War (Operation Protective Edge), a 50-day conflict  between Israel and Hamas that began in July 2014. The war involved intense Israeli airstrikes and a ground invasion in response to Hamas rocket attacks, resulting in over 2,000 Palestinian deaths (mostly civilians) and significant destruction in Gaza. Israeli casualties included 67 soldiers and six civilians.  The US response in Gaza was primarily diplomatic. URGENT REQUEST TO OUR FOLLOWERS: Support independent media in the fight against authoritarianism.

I will not compare death to death. I will not compare I will not compare… “Welcome to my morning mantra.It's been a long hot news summer and it's important to remember the rules. Under prevailing US media law, you may not compare a killing to a killing. You may not say the word Palestinian for example and then in the same sentence, say Yazidi.You may not compare. You may not compare… The rules are very clear, especially when it comes to the Middle East.I, for example, may not compare destruction to destruction. It is best, in fact, if I do not even contemplate or wonder about men and women and children trapped without food and medicine and drinking water under siege on a mountain top, and at the same time, contemplate or wonder about men and women and children trapped without food and medicine and drinking water under siege on a place near a beach.A mountain under siege is not to be compared to a beach besieged. That's simple enough. After all, a mountain is very different from a beach.I will not compare. I will not compare… In particular I will not compare a destroyed mosque in Mosul with a destroyed mosque in Khuzaa. And I absolutely will not compare the motivations of the uniformed soldiers whom I hear laugh and cheer on a videotape out of Gaza as they explode that mosque in Khuzaa, with the motivations of any men anywhere committing war crimes.- Even if I can't get that laughter and cheering out of my head.I may not compare, I may not compare. Why? Because comparisons are odious, of course, and politics is complicated.You heard the president, the U.S. "cannot and should not intervene every time there's a crisis in the world.”Some require the U.S. to act to help the people besieged. Some require the US to act to help the people doing the besieging.To compare is to risk blurring the differences and the differences are all important.To recap the rules: it is wrong to compare.You can not say: a life is a life.You can not say words like oil and money and markets.You can not ask what's the difference between a mountain and a beach.I'm Laura Flanders. Today's commentary is dedicated to the late great poet June Jordan.

Synopsis:  Is Authoritarianism Here?: Gessen and Stanley discuss the shift in America's self-understanding, from democratic ideals to a self-identity based on loving the US for its past greatness, and warn that this is not a democratic project, but rather a fascist one, similar to what Putin is doing in Russia. ARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“Trump has proposed a revived empire, a return to an imaginary past. The Democrats have proposed the way things are now, which are deeply unsatisfying and horribly anxiety provoking for a very large number of people. So we need a vision of a future that is more appealing than the imaginary past.” - Masha Gessen“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason Stanley• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Music Credit: “America” by Sylvan Paul, courtesy of Wolf+Lamb Records.  "Steppin" by Podington Bear.

Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason StanleyGuests:• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Watch the special report released on YouTube May 2nd 5pm ET; PBS World Channel May 4th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Synopsis: Learn the history behind May Day, or International Workers' Day. The holiday commemorates the 1886 Chicago workers' strike known as the Haymarket Affair, where laborers demanded an eight-hour workday. The protest turned deadly and several activists were martyred—marking the day as a symbol of the ongoing fight for workers' rights.Description (Rewind- Origin Date May 2016): Laura and Peter Linebaugh discuss the origins of May Day, also known as International Workers' Day, the subject of his book, "The Incomplete, True, Authentic, and Wonderful History of May Day." Linebaugh is professor emeritus at the University of Toledo, and the author of many books, including the Magna Carta Manifesto; Stop Thief, The Commons, Enclosures and Resistance. Laura also shares her F-Word commentary on the intersectional feminism of 19th Century Anarchist Lucy Parsons. "The changes can happen very quickly, very quickly. Thinking of James Connolly, and the Easter Rebellion, very quickly, audacity, audacity . . . that's the rule of social change." Guest: Peter Linebaugh, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toledo, AuthorARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Drew joined Profitable Designer less than six months ago. Since then, he's grown his Australian native and sustainable landscaping business from scratch to consistent five-figure months — including a $35K month in his third month — all while still on his first holiday as a business owner. But what's more impressive? He did it by sticking to the process, building relationships, and trusting himself.In this episode, we walk through Drew's rapid rise from leaving his design job to building a self-funded, highly in-demand landscape design consultancy. You'll hear how his past in marketing, content creation, and sustainable design intersected to give him a head start — and how he still credits self-belief and the Uplevel system as the driving forces behind his traction. He talks about learning how to set bigger goals, trust his pricing, shift his identity from designer to business builder, and how the "tap" of marketing is now something he can turn on or off at will.If you're trying to figure out how to attract better clients, scale your design work, and build a life that supports freedom and creativity — this is the one to tune into.Want help building a more profitable design business?

The power of niche A ‘Langpreneur' I know spent $35K on an event ran by a world class entrepreneur that you know from social. Someone I also look up to. And yes, loved the event. They studied his business. Their key insight; his conversion rates were too low. Then he came to our event for creators in the language space. And so he asked us how to increase his conversion rates. And then he told us what his conversion rates were. We were surprised! They were high… for a business in our niche.. We could tell, because we've been working with language businesses for over a decade. Suddenly, the conversation changed. It wasn't about conversion rates anymore. After some digging, we discovered another way for him to grow his business. Something only someone with a deep understanding of our niche would have noticed. Now it's still too early to say wheter these insights will actually grow his business. But the point is clear. There is a lot of power in creating solutions for a very specific customer avatar. Online language entrepreneurs in our case. That's the power of picking a niche. Join our events: www.creatorempires.com

Shoot us a Text.Today, we're talking about how the White House lawn became a Tesla dealership yesterday. Plus, we're covering Ford's investment into EV charging for its drivers and how Southwest is ending its longstanding free bag policy.President Donald Trump, long an opponent of Joe Biden's EV push, threw a political curveball on Tuesday by inspecting—and even considering purchasing—a Tesla at the White House. The moment was seen as an olive branch to Elon Musk, a vocal supporter of Trump's administration and a key player in the EV industry.Despite campaigning against Biden's EV mandates, Trump praised Tesla's technology and price points at the event.His appearance with Musk comes amid protests and boycotts of Tesla by liberal groups unhappy with Musk's alignment with conservative policies.Tesla's stock, which saw its worst day since 2020 on Monday, rebounded slightly after the event.While admiring Tesla's tech, Trump drew the line at a new model lacking a steering wheel, saying, “I'm going to pass on that.”An eagle-eyed photographer at the event noticed that the President's handwritten notes looked a lot like a sales pitch for Tesla, with phrases like “Teslas can be purchased as low as $299/month or $35K.”Ford has officially delivered over 140K NACS adapters to its EV customers. This move grants Ford EV drivers access to Tesla's vast Supercharger network, marking a major step toward simplifying public charging and expanding infrastructure options.The milestone follows Ford's 2023 announcement to integrate Tesla's Supercharger network into its ecosystem.Ford EVs now have access to over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers—up from 15,300 last year and Ford's BlueOval Charge Network has  over 180,000 chargers at over 50,000 locations, making it North America's largest public integrated charging networkIn February, Tesla Superchargers accounted for nearly 20% of Ford EV charging stops.Plus, Ford EV drivers using Apple CarPlay can now plan Tesla Supercharger stops directly in Apple Maps EV Routing, eliminating the need for a separate app.Southwest Airlines is making a major shift, announcing that starting May 28, it will charge for checked bags—ending its long-standing “bags fly free” policy. The change aims to boost profitability but may alienate loyal travelers.Only Rapid Rewards A-list members and business fare passengers will still get free checked bags.CEO Bob Jordan framed the move as part of an effort to attract new customers and improve profitability. Southwest has also announced plans to introduce assigned seating by 2025, revamp its fare structure, and expand its international routes to stay competitive.Southwest previously touted free checked bags as a key reason customers chose the airline.Delta CEO Ed Bastian sees an opening to attract Southwest passengers, saying, "Those customers aHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

A few years into building Flashfood, Josh was $35K in debt with no money in his account. Just a few months earlier, he'd lost both the pilot customers he'd worked so hard to lock in. He'd worked for months to land them and had delivered what he promised.But both retailers told him the problem he was solving was not important enough.And then, he met Loblaws-- one of Canada's largest retailers. They loved the case studies he had. They tested it out and quickly launched it across 100% of their locations. "I was going to shut down the company." That's how close it came to failing completely. Instead, a year after meeting Loblaws he was doing $1.5M ARR and had raised a $3M seed round. Now, he does 10s of millions in revenue and will soon be profitable.Here's the story.   Why you should listen:Why startups often drive founder to near bankruptcy.Why you need to keep testing your startup until you hear 'no'.Why sometimes large customers might be easier to close than small ones.How to get champions to close enterprise deals. Why you might be a top priority for some customer sets and not others.Keywordsfood waste, grocery stores, app development, early stage founders, product market fit, sustainability, entrepreneurship, discount food, consumer behavior, environmental impact, enterprise sales, customer priorities, stakeholder buy-in, corporate culture, product-market fit, revenue growth, grocery industry, startup challenges, business strategy, environmental impactSend me a message to let me know what you think!

On today's  Daily Puck Drop, Jason  “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore jump into the disaster that was the Cougars this weekend against Boise State , and reflect on the Mariners' disappointing season and the decision not to hold a formal press conference .Jim wrote a satirical press conference on how the Mariners end of the season presser should have sounded and it's hilarious!  Go check it out at PuckSports.com, on the blog tab. Why do the Mariners find themselves so unaccountable and why do we as fans seem to put up with their behavior.  They had over 35K people a day there this past weekend. Why??. Both Puck and Jim love the Seahawks +3.5 tonight against Detroit and feel that Geno Smith will once again shine in Detroit.  As Puck likes to point out as a smarts, the team that wins the trenches will win the game! Thanks tips.  Jim wonders if he should write a column on Lee Corso and whey he thinks he should be taken off College GameDay.  Puck, the mature one :), tells Jim not to write the column. Finally, they both find it funny that GameDay will be at Cal this Saturday for the Bears home game against Miami! Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by for his final visit of the season.  They dive right into the Mariners failures this season and dissected what went wrong and how they could possibly fix it. Jim didn't like the decision for Jerry Dipoto not to do an official end of the year press conference and agreed that John Stanton, the owner should have been present to answer specific questions like why he decided to bring Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander back for another season. Despite Dipoto saying his outfield is set, Puck and Duquette wonder if they will still try and move Randy Arozarena in the offseason.  Duquette is convinced that they will shot Luis Castillo.  The move would free up $72 million and bring some young talent back. Dipoto claims that they will not have any financial restraints, but they owe a lot of money in arbitration to a number of players and that won't leave them a lot once they are finished with those players.  Rundown00:00 Jim and Puck lament to the Cougars loss…Mariners season being over and the Seahawks taking on the Lions tonight in MNF10:54 Cougars still can't tackle 16:41 Mariners show themselves as cowards this past weekend 30:50 Why won't ownership acknowledge the Dipoto extension. What are they afraid of?35:08 M's won't get any FA's…They owe their own players too much money 55:41 Seahawks and Lions MNF…Take the Hawks and points and over! 01:01:00 Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio joins for the final official time as he and Puck wrap up the 2025 Mariners and MLB season…..Will Luis Castillo be traded?  Holes all over the infield, who can they get to help?   Ownership not accountable.  Dipoto half-assed press conference.  Edgar Martinez future?  Who will play in the World Series and who do we want?
