Sometimes a book-to-film adaptation tiptoes onto the big screen and politely asks for your attention — and then there's THE HOUSEMAID, which in late 2025 kicked down the door, winked at the audience, and became a runaway hit. What began as a novel marketed squarely to women suddenly transformed into a blockbuster for, well, anyone over 18 with a taste for psychological chaos and Sydney Sweeney giving the camera that “I know something you don't” stare. Amanda Seyfried joined the party, too, because why not make things even more deliciously unhinged.IMDB sums it up with admirable restraint: Millie, a struggling young woman, becomes a live‑in maid for a wealthy couple, Nina and Andrew, and promptly finds herself in a mansion stuffed with secrets, manipulation, and psychological games. In other words, it's less “dust the shelves” and more “try not to get emotionally vaporized by your employers.” The house itself practically deserves its own billing — every hallway feels like it's whispering, “Turn back now,” but of course Millie does not.Directed by Paul Feig — yes, the same Paul Feig who gave us Bridesmaids and apparently woke up one day and chose psychological warfare — and written for the screen by Rebecca Sonnenshine, the film also stars Brandon Sklenar as the male lead who may or may not be part of the problem (spoiler: he is). With a modest $35M budget and a swaggering $400M box‑office haul, the movie charmed critics, thrilled audiences, and probably made Freida McFadden, the author of the novel, do a very happy victory lap. Now your cohosts dive into the madness and share their thoughts, hopefully without getting pulled into any dangerous relationship dynamics themselves.

In early May 2026, transport vans rolled out of Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, carrying beagles toward new lives—grass under their paws, sunlight on their faces, and homes instead of stacked wire cages. Nearly 1,500 beagles were purchased by rescue organizations like Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Beagle Freedom Project after years of documented suffering at one of the nation's largest commercial beagle breeders for biomedical research. This outcome marks a rare, tangible win for animal advocates. But it came only after daring direct-action raids, mass protests met with tear gas and rubber bullets, a special prosecutor's investigation, and persistent legal pressure. Even now, roughly 500 dogs may remain behind as Ridglan winds down its commercial breeding operations by July 1, 2026. The Ridglan story is not just about one facility. It exposes deep, systemic failures in U.S. law that leave millions of animals in laboratories with minimal protections—and even those “covered” by federal rules often receive little meaningful relief. The Raids That Forced Change On March 15, 2026, activists from groups linked to the Coalition to Save the Ridglan Dogs breached fences and buildings at Ridglan Farms. They removed around 22–30 beagles. Some were successfully rehomed; others were recovered by police. However, an estimated 2000 beagles remained in captivity, potentially subject to additional horrific experimentation. Our guest, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, was one of these activists. A second, larger action on April 18 drew roughly 1,000 protesters to rescue the remaining beagles. Law enforcement responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. No additional dogs could be rescued that day. Dozens of protesters were arrested, including our guest on The Breggin Hour, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, a San Francisco Bay Area-based animal rights activist and political organizer. He is co-founder of The Simple Heart Initiative—a nonprofit dedicated to advancing species equality through open rescue, impact litigation, undercover investigations, and activist training. With over eight years in nonprofit advocacy, Dean has recruited and trained hundreds of activists and is one of the lead organizers of the Ridglan campaign. He now faces serious felony burglary charges—potentially up to 12 years in prison—along with several co-defendants for the first March 15, 2026, rescue effort. Further charges may be pending. As a top priority, we urge that the charges be reduced or dropped to reflect the vastly important ethical basis of the actions of these animal advocates. How to Help Dean Dean reports that the best way to assist him with legal costs is to become a paid subscriber to his Substack at Urbananimal.substack.com. To support ending the breeding of dogs for lab testing, go to Save the Dogs, make a donation, and join over 111,581 others who have already signed the petition to end breeding of dogs for laboratory use. These weren't the first efforts to expose and stop the abuses of these dogs. Ridglan had faced scrutiny for years, including earlier investigations. The raids amplified public outrage and accelerated negotiations between rescuers and Ridglan Farms. In late April, rescue groups announced they had reached a deal to acquire ~1,500 dogs. Transports began in early May, with many “frosted face” seniors (older dogs with graying muzzles) now adjusting to life outside the facility—initially flinching at touch but quickly learning to wag tails and play. Decades of Alleged Cruelty at Ridglan — and Why It Is Winding Down Ridglan Farms operated for decades as a major supplier of beagles for testing. Former employees and state inspections described windowless warehouses, stacked cages over waste pits, high ammonia levels, rusted wires causing injuries, and routine surgeries (including eye procedures and devocalizations) performed without anesthesia or proper pain relief—sometimes by non-veterinarians. In 2025, Wisconsin's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) cited Ridglan for hundreds of violations. A judge found probable cause for animal cruelty. Special Prosecutor Tim Gruenke was appointed to investigate. Rather than face criminal charges, Ridglan chose to wind down. In a negotiated settlement in late 2025, the company agreed to surrender its Wisconsin commercial dog-breeding license by July 1, 2026. This effectively ends its large-scale commercial breeding and sales of beagles to external laboratories. In exchange, the state dropped the threat of felony animal cruelty prosecutions. This agreement was driven by years of accumulated citations, whistleblower testimony, undercover investigations, and intense public and activist pressure. While Ridglan can still conduct limited on-site research under its federal USDA licenses, its days as a major commercial beagle supplier are over. Parallels with Envigo and Other Scandals Ridglan is far from isolated. In 2022, a major scandal erupted at Envigo's breeding facility in Cumberland, Virginia. PETA's undercover investigation revealed severe neglect: inadequate food, veterinary care, housing, and staffing; dead puppies were left among litters; and unqualified staff performed invasive procedures. The U.S. Department of Justice intervened, leading to the rescue of over 4,000 beagles—the largest such seizure in U.S. history. Envigo (and its parent company Inotiv) later pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the Animal Welfare Act and the Clean Water Act, agreeing to pay a record $35 million+ in fines and shutting down the breeding operation. From the Beagles to the Breggins, Senator Bill Stanley Sought Justice for the Underdog At a state level, key Virginia state legislators were involved in advocating for stronger animal welfare regulations in response to documented Animal Welfare Act violations, poor conditions, and high puppy mortality in the facility. Sen. Bill Stanley (R-Franklin County) was a leading champion at the state level. He visited the facility multiple times, co-sponsored several “Beagle Bills” in 2022 (e.g., SB 87, SB 88, SB 90, SB 604) to increase oversight, close loopholes for research animals, require adoption offers before euthanasia, and penalize repeat violators. He adopted two Envigo beagles (Daisy and Dixie) and worked on adoptions/rescues. We are especially happy to acknowledge Sen. Stanley's contributions because, among several attorneys we contacted to defend us against Robert Malone's lawfare defamation suit against us for $25 million, Bill was the first attorney willing to seriously pursue our case, which ended in the presiding judge throwing Malone's case out of court. From the beagles to the Breggins, Senator Stanley has sought justice for the underdog. The Sand Fly Experiments and High-Profile Scandals Public outrage over government-funded beagle suffering peaked in the early 2020s with revelations about NIH-funded experiments under Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). One widely criticized study involved beagle puppies in Tunisia exposed to sand flies carrying parasites (to study leishmaniasis). Reports described dogs having their heads locked in mesh cages filled with infected sand flies, being used as live bait in desert cages overnight, and in some cases undergoing cordectomies (vocal cord removal) to silence barking. The experiments sparked bipartisan congressional criticism and intense media coverage. The Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and partners filed habeas corpus petitions seeking court recognition of the Ridglan dogs' right to freedom from cruelty and immediate remedies. While initial petitions faced dismissal, appeals continue for the remaining animals. Why U.S. Law Fails Experimental Animals The core federal statute is the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) of 1966 (and its amendments), enforced by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). It sets minimum standards for housing, feeding, veterinary care, and handling of certain animals. Critical Limitations Include: Massive Species Exclusions: Rats, mice, and birds bred for research—accounting for roughly 95% of lab animals—are explicitly excluded. Cold-blooded animals and others also fall outside coverage. Weak Standards for Covered Species: Even for dogs, cats, primates, etc., the AWA permits painful procedures if deemed “scientifically necessary.” There is no outright ban on specific types of experiments. Self-Regulation via IACUCs: Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees—dominated by researchers at the institutions they oversee—review protocols. Approval rates hover near 98%, with limited external oversight. Enforcement Gaps: Under-resourced inspections, reliance on self-reporting, and modest penalties limit impact. Ridglan itself had passed many USDA inspections despite state-level findings of serious issues. Property Status: Animals remain legal property. Novel habeas efforts like the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) challenge this but face significant judicial hurdles, as courts have historically rejected animal “personhood” claims. For those of us who learned in childhood about unconditional love from our dogs, they are not only of equal value to people, but they seem on a higher spiritual level in the love they have given to us. Other frameworks, such as the Public Health Service Policy, apply only to federally funded research and offer even less robust enforcement. The 2022 FDA Modernization Act opened doors to non-animal alternatives, but broader statutory mandates for the “3Rs” (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) remain limited. Reform efforts often stall due to powerful research lobbies, congressional agriculture committees' oversight, and public support for medical research that can overshadow welfare concerns. Broader Context and the Path Forward Ridglan and Envigo show that systemic problems persist despite occasional rescues and fines. Millions of animals continue to be used annually in U.S. labs, yet positive developments exist: growing adoption of alternatives (organ-on-chip, AI modeling, human cell cultures), increased rehoming programs, and shifting public opinion favoring stronger protections. The Ridglan victory shows that sustained pressure—investigations, lawsuits, public protest, and direct rescue—can force change where law falls short. Yet relying on activists risking felony charges is not sustainable. Meaningful reform requires: Expanding Animal Welfare Act coverage to all vertebrates. Stronger, independent oversight and enforcement with real penalties. Mandatory consideration and funding for non-animal methods. Judicial tools (like effective habeas relief) to address cruelty in licensed facilities promptly. A Call to Readers The beagles now tasting freedom represent hope—but hundreds may still face uncertainty, and systemic issues persist for countless others. Share their stories. Support reputable rescues and organizations like The Simple Heart Initiative, the Nonhuman Rights Project, Beagle Freedom Project, and others working on legal and legislative fronts. Contact your representatives and demand real modernization of the Animal Welfare Act. Persistence works. Now we must translate outrage into lasting legal change—so no more facilities like this exist in the first place. What are your thoughts on balancing research needs with animal welfare?

Subscribe to TFN https://www.youtube.com/@TheFootyNetwork?sub_confirmation=1 We are back with an absolute bombshell of a transfer update as Wolfie dives deep into the shocking rumours surrounding Dan Ndoye's future at the City Ground! Reports out of Italy are suggesting that after a incredibly frustrating debut season in the Garibaldi under Vítor Pereira, the Swiss winger is already being actively shopped around to Serie A giants like AS Roma, Inter Milan, and Napoli. With Forest allegedly slapping a massive €35m-€42m price tag on his head, Wolfie breaks down whether the club is genuinely trying to cut their losses and clear out the £35M man, or if his agents are just playing games behind the scenes to try and force a move away. Is it time to say "return to sender" and bank a massive fee to reinvest in the squad, or does Ndoye deserve a proper pre-season to finally find his feet in England? Wolfie gets stuck into the tactical reality of his tough season, the massive transfer links, and what this means for our summer spending plans under Evangelos Marinakis. Get involved in the comments below, Reds—are you ready to pack Ndoye's bags and wave him off back to Italy for that kind of money, or would selling him now be a massive mistake?

Send us Fan MailDana Wilkey from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had insider tea on Russell Brand being a predator in early 2023 — well before the Channel 4 documentary, well before Sunday Times broke it, and well before anyone was talking about it publicly — and today she's sharing those receipts alongside a full breakdown of Russell Brand's viral Piers Morgan Uncensored interview that nobody else is covering the way she does. The tea came from inside the UK comedy circuit including a WhatsApp group set up among female UK comics specifically to warn each other about Russell Brand — and when you hear what was being said back then you're going to understand why this interview with Piers Morgan hits so differently. Russell Brand is currently facing charges of rape and sexual assault involving four women and Dana breaks down exactly how he spends the first ten minutes of the Piers Morgan interview psychologically setting up the entire conversation before a single real question is asked — and the parallel she draws to how Jeffrey Epstein operated with powerful people is something you genuinely will not hear anywhere else. Then there's the Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate connection to what Russell Brand is doing rhetorically in this interview that nobody is talking about — and Dana breaks down exactly what he's doing and why it should concern you. Plus Katy Perry's 2013 Vogue interview where she reveals she has a deep dark secret about Russell Brand locked in her safe for a rainy day — and what could that possibly be given everything we now know? The Edinburgh Fringe Festival culture is also covered — including Hardeep Singh Kohli charged with rape and Tom Binns convicted of 35,000 child images — and why Dana thinks that environment matters to understanding Russell Brand's behavior. Then we tease what is an explosive Patreon exclusive deep dive on PK Kemsley where Dana has figured out the real story behind how PK built his old wealth — and it involves a disgraced banker, a $35 million self-dealing accusation from his own partners, and a financial pattern he has repeated on every woman in his life including Loretta Gold and Dorit Kemsley — and the Florida trust that Dorit almost certainly doesn't know exists.

This single property created more than $10M in value, but it was the most complex real estate deal we've ever done. We had to put a million dollars at risk to even start the transaction—and it was non-refundable. Multiple buyers, a cross-collateralized property in receivership with a parking lot, a hotel, and office space. This wasn't going to be easy, but it definitely paid off.  Today, I'm peeling back the curtain, showing you the full numbers and story of this commercial real estate case study that proves if you put in the work, the reward is there—and it could be an eight-figure payoff.  I'll walk through how we got this off-market, underpriced property sent to us, how we found buyers to take over the parts of the property we had no interest in, the substantial non-refundable earnest money we had to put down to close, and the hiccup at the eleventh hour that almost completely killed the deal. Plus, I'll share exactly what we did to take this parking garage investment from $31M to $35M to now being worth north of $40 million. This is how we did it. Insights from today's episode: A full real estate case study of the most complex deal we've ever done  Why I put a seven-figure non-refundable deposit on a property that had low chances of closing  How we immediately walked into $4 million of equity from purchase  The value-add improvements we made to grow this property's value by over $10 million  The #1 reason why a broker sent this off-market deal to us before anyone else  How we subdivided and sold parts of the property while we were buying it  Our exact loan structure (LTV, debt, terms) to reduce risk  — Investing in Parking Lots: Real Estate's #1 Overlooked Opportunity | Ep. 977 Charlotte Parking Facility Case Study  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

In this episode of the Unapologetically Rich Show, Shamina Taylor takes you inside Day 1 of her live Quantum Click Masterclass, the proprietary 8-stage framework she developed while helping 368 women break through their income ceilings and hit their highest cash months, almost always at the exact same point: 56 days. Want to catch day 2 + 3 replays? Click here to sign up for it: https://link.shaminataylor.com/the-quantum-click  Shamina opens with her own story, the version of her life that looked picture-perfect on the outside while she was unfufilled inside. Running a successful law practice, checking every box, achieving every milestone, and feeling absolutely nothing. Until her son drew a picture of her at school, laying horizontal on the couch, and she had to face a truth she'd been too busy surviving to see. That's where this episode begins. With the invisible ceiling. The lens you've been wearing so long, it doesn't feel like a lens anymore, it just feels like reality. And Shamina breaks down exactly why that lens, not your strategy, not your offers, not your work ethic, is the only thing standing between you and your next level. She walks through the full 8-stage Quantum Click methodology, from the invisible ceiling and the awakening, through the unraveling and the rewire, to the identity shift, the click, the wealth shift, and the embodiment, and explains the brain science behind why 56 days of consistent new behavior is the exact threshold at which the brain stops requiring willpower and the new way of seeing becomes automatic. In this episode, you'll discover: The 8 stages of the Quantum Click framework and how they map to your own ceiling Why strategy, funnels, posting daily, and hiring coaches won't move the ceiling, and what actually will How your nervous system has been calling survival mode "ambition" without you knowing it Why the scarcity lens is not a financial condition, it's a perception problem that even eight-figure earners carry How Christina went from $1M to $6M to $14M, and is now slated for $35M, after the lens shifted What the University College London research says about breaking old patterns and locking in new ones The one homework question Shamina leaves every woman with at the end of Day 1 If you've ever had a big cash month and immediately started calculating where it was all going, felt fear instead of excitement when a dream client reached out, or wondered why doing more keeps producing the same result, this episode is going to show you something you haven't been able to see yet. And once you see it, everything changes.

Zion Williamson future Pelicans news is heating up as reports reveal the New Orleans Pelicans are considering a new contract extension for Zion Williamson this summer.Big Q breaks down:

Key Takeaways:Main Deal ConclusionThe auto garage near downtown Nashville is overpriced at $2.6M (~$480/sf).Even after lowering price and rehab assumptions, the numbers don't work at realistic market rents.Tyler's verdict: pass on the deal unless the price comes way down or there's major zoning upside.Why the Numbers FailConcept: convert 6 bays (~900 sf each) into micro retail.Realistic rent assumption: ~$30/sf NNN.At those rents, NOI is far below debt service, creating large negative cash flow and DSCR below lender minimums.Only at extremely high, unrealistic rents ($50–$80/sf NNN) does it begin to pencil, which the market likely won't support.Value & Pricing InsightFor this kind of building and location, Tyler thinks $200–$250/sf (~$1.0–1.35M) is more reasonable than $480/sf.LP/GP Structure TipsCharge reasonable fees (e.g., 1% acquisition, ~2% asset management) to cover costs.Simple structure he likes:7–8% preferred return to LPsThen a 70/30 or 80/20 LP/GP split, no complex waterfalls.Salt Ranch Hotel UpdateTyler's Salt Ranch Hotel in Nashville has soft-opened (April 1).They're adding a limited swim-club membership as an unmodeled but attractive new revenue stream.Liquor license process was slow; they opened with beer first, full liquor coming online now.

NFC North Roundtable: Draft in 15 Days, Dexter Lawrence Trade Buzz, and the NFL's Push for 18 Games — Hosts from Fans First Sports Network's NFC North roundtable show “Who Will Be King” preview the NFL Draft (15 days away) and share plans for multi-day livestream coverage, with discussion of the Vikings' draft preparation under interim GM/cap guru Rob Brzezinski. They debate trade rumors around Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (“Sexy Dexy”), including reported Bears interest, potential draft compensation (first-round pick discussed), and a $27–35M per year extension, while noting cap implications for each NFC North team and Lawrence's interior pressure impact. The Lions' possible link to Joey Bosa and offensive line depth with Larry Borom are also covered. The show shifts to broader NFL topics: a proposed 18-game season targeted for 2027, a likely second bye, Super Bowl timing, more international games, and union/CBA negotiations over pay and benefits. They also touch on the Bears' ongoing stadium saga before closing with network plugs. 00:00 NFC North Anthem Intro 01:44 Wrong Show Cold Open 02:24 Draft Countdown Plans 03:52 Packers Jabs And Smoke Season 04:50 Vikings Draft Without GM 06:27 Lions Linked To Joey Bosa 08:03 Dexter Lawrence Trade Rumors 14:34 Division Fits And Cap Math 22:04 Would You Trade A First 28:00 Break And Bears Stadium Saga 31:15 Stadium Plan Stalls 33:14 Soldier Field Logistics 34:19 Politics And The Bears 36:34 18 Game Season Talk 37:57 International Games Expansion 40:24 Europe Team And Travel 40:47 Supersonic Flight Idea 43:19 Product Dilution Concerns 44:54 CBA Money And Benefits 49:41 Bad Football Tradeoff 51:34 NFL Grabs More Calendar 52:45 Show Plugs And Signoff FAN WITH US!!!  Follow us on Twitter ✖️ for more updates… Pay @TheRealPayday, host of Frustrated Chicago Sports Fan Channel, June @asgjune & M Foster @Mbrfosterchild, hosts of the Bleachers To Speakers [Lions] podcast, and Dave Stefano @Luft_Krigare, from @Vikings1stSKOL.

Is the Mormon Stories Podcast actually in trouble—or is it simply entering a new phase of its lifecycle? Over the past few years, Mormon Stories has been one of the most influential voices in the post-Mormon and faith-crisis space. But recent trends in subscriber growth, viewership, and organizational behavior have raised questions about what's really happening.In this video, we break down the numbers:* 2023: ~117K new subscribers, ~46.8M new views* 2024: ~57K new subscribers, ~35M new views* 2025: ~28K new subscribers, ~20M new viewsWe also explore possible reasons for the decline, including:* Controversies involving staff and public incidents* Criticism from former colleagues and community members* Increasing competition in faith-based and ex-Mormon content* Shifts in audience attention spans and content preferences* Cultural and societal trends affecting religious engagementFinally, we ask the big question: is this a real decline, or a natural plateau after years of rapid growth?

Stop Doing Everything Yourself: How AI and the 10-80-10 Rule Free Business Owners to Scale   "What if the secret to scaling your business isn't working harder, but systematizing smarter and leading with more humanity?     Today's guest has spent over 30 years doing exactly that, launching, building, buying, and selling businesses, raising more than $35 million in venture capital, leading organizations that generated billions in sales, and learning just as much from his failures as his wins. He's a finalist for the Ernst & Young Technology Entrepreneur of the Year Award, an Inc. 5000 Winner, a former Entrepreneur in Residence at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, a Fast Company Executive Board Member, and the bestselling author of four books, including BOS-UP and BOS-UP Moments. Today, he serves as Founder and CEO of Straticos and BOS-UP, where he coaches business leaders, invests in companies, and sits on boards — helping teams build stronger systems, culture, and performance."    Learning Insights  The 10-80-10 Rule: Business owners should focus the initial 10% on innovation and business development, let AI and systems handle the middle 80% of routine operations, and spend the final 10% on human connection, coaching, and culture.  Work-Life Harmony Over Balance: Balance is a static myth. Harmony is about integration, rhythm, and flow like music, where sometimes the treble is up, and the bass is down, or like Garrett's Chicago mix popcorn combining cheddar and caramel.  The CLEAR Framework for Leadership: Collaborative, Logical, Empathetic, Authentic, and Resilient, a standard for leadership communication and decision-making during high-stress moments.  Systematize the Predictable to Humanize the Exceptional: Quote from Isadore Sharp (Four Seasons founder), use systems to handle routine tasks so leaders can focus on high-value creative and relational work.  AI as Co-Pilot, Not Replacement: "You, it, never it alone." AI is an aggregator and accelerator, but human validation must always be applied before anything goes out.  Profit First Over Unicorn Status: Small businesses should seek free cash flow and stability rather than chasing unicorn status. Focus on leading indicators, not just lagging ones like bank balances.  Coach You Up or Coach You Out: Leaders should invest in developing their people, but if there's persistent pushback or misalignment, move them out to maintain organizational health.  Grace and Grit: The next generation should balance resilience and hard work (grit) with compassion and self-forgiveness (grace), using the hindsight of others as their foresight.  The ABC Mantra: Be the Architect (designer), Builder (executor), and Custodian (protector) of your leadership, business, and life.    Why This Conversation Matters  This conversation bridges the gap between rigid engineering systems and human-centric leadership. Scott Abbott challenges the traditional "work-life balance" myth and offers a modern framework for integrating AI and systems into business without losing the human touch. What makes this unique is his perspective from both sides; he lived through the dot-com crash after raising $15 million, learned profit-first discipline at a $32 billion corporation, and now teaches entrepreneurs how to scale smarter. The deeper message is that true success comes from using systems to protect and amplify humanity, not replace it. By systematizing the predictable, leaders are freed to focus on what only they can do: innovate, connect, and build culture. This isn't just about building better businesses; it's about building better lives through harmony, intentionality, and the courage to leverage both grace and grit.    Money Learning  Scott's financial mindset evolved dramatically from his early entrepreneurial rebellion to systemic discipline. Growing up with an engineer father who emphasized rigor, spreadsheets, and mechanics, Scott initially rebelled, leading to "dumb" spending decisions during the dot-com era when he raised $15 million for an internet services company. The psychological toll of losing up to $500,000 a month forced him to "check his ego" and learn financial stewardship. His time at Avnet, a $32 billion company with thin 8% margins, taught him to be "banshees on profit" and prioritize free cash flow over unicorn dreams. He advocates the Profit First philosophy, focusing on leading indicators rather than lagging ones like bank balances. His key money lesson: discipline equals freedom. By implementing rigorous financial systems, entrepreneurs can move from "living in the mess" to achieving harmony where the business serves their life, not the other way around. Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal,  but cash flow is king.    Key Takeaway  The most powerful insight from this conversation is that scaling your business isn't about doing more, it's about doing less of what doesn't matter so you can focus on what only you can do. Scott Abbott's 10-80-10 rule reveals that most business owners are trapped in the middle 80% of routine operations when they should be leveraging AI and systems to handle that work. By systematizing the predictable, you humanize the exceptional, freeing yourself to lead with empathy, authenticity, and resilience. Work-life balance is a myth that sets you up for failure; harmony is the reality that allows integration and flow. Whether you're just starting out or scaling to eight figures, the frameworks Scott shares, CLEAR leadership, profit-first mentality, and the ABC mantra of being an architect, builder, and custodian, provide a roadmap for building a business that doesn't consume your life but enhances it. Remember: leverage the hindsight of others as your foresight, embrace both grace and grit, and never let AI work alone, you, it, never it alone.    Bio  Scott Abbott is an architect, builder, and custodian of strong, resilient companies and leaders.

Introduction What happens when you stop trying to make claims adjusters faster and instead redesign the entire workflow from first notice of loss? Most insurers are layering AI co-pilots on top of legacy processes, but Ravin AI is arguing for something more disruptive: a fully automated claims pipeline that collects evidence, detects fraud, applies business rules, and routes decisions before a human ever touches the file. In this episode, Eliron Ekstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Ravin AI, breaks down how their Ravin Inspect platform automates up to 80% of auto claims, and why the economics of full automation are fundamentally different from incremental efficiency gains. Guest Bio Eliron Ekstein co-founded Ravin AI approximately eight years ago out of Shell Ventures, where he led new business development in Shell's Digital Ventures unit in London. What began as a concept for scanning vehicles at petrol stations has grown into a $35M+ funded insurtech operating across multiple continents. Eliron holds an MBA from London Business School and has spent the past decade digitizing automotive and transportation workflows. Ravin AI now serves insurance carriers, fleets, and remarketing customers globally with its patented DeepDetect technology. Key Topics -Full Automation vs. Co-Pilot Augmentation — Why Ravin's "pilot, not co-pilot" approach delivers fundamentally different economics than AI tools that assist adjusters within existing workflows. -Ravin Inspect: End-to-End Claims Pipeline — How the platform gathers policyholder data, vehicle images, location, speed, and fraud signals upfront to build a complete claim file before human review. -80% Auto-Adjudication Target — The threshold at which automation rewrites carrier unit economics, from staffing models to cycle times to customer satisfaction scores. -Purpose-Built AI vs. Generic GenAI — Why domain-specific computer vision and decision logic outperform general-purpose large language models for claims adjudication. -Integration Without Disruption — Ravin's approach to plugging into existing core systems and claims platforms without requiring carriers to rip and replace. -International Market Entry — Lessons from expanding an Israeli-founded insurtech into the U.S. and Australian markets, including regulatory and go-to-market differences. -Fraud Detection as a Byproduct — How automated evidence collection at FNOL creates a stronger fraud signal than retroactive investigation. Notable Quotes "Our pilot is not a co-pilot — it will run the claim up until the very last minute where you have to give a final approval." — Eliron Ekstein, Co-Founder & CEO, Ravin AI "We can actually gather all the relevant data from you — images, location, speed, fraud detection — and build a complete file that already includes business rules according to which you can settle the claim." — Eliron Ekstein "This is more of a radical approach that results in significant benefits, significant speed." — Eliron Ekstein Resources Guest: Ravin AI: https://www.ravin.ai/ Eliron Ekstein on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elironekstein/ Host & Organization: Joshua R.

DEBUNKED: Exposing Every Lie In Ken Burns' New Anti-American Documentary. Today on the Matt Walsh Show we are going to take a close look at a piece of sophisticated anti-American propaganda just released by PBS and the documentary filmmaker Ken Burns. There is a neverending effort to make Americans embarrassed of their history, and to give credit for its achievements to people who don't deserve it. American history has been rewritten for this purpose. Today we will debunk the lies. Also, Pennsylvania just passed a law against hair discrimination. That sounds absurd, and it is, but it's even worse and more nefarious than you think.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1274: Today we unpack Carvana's push toward 3 million annual sales and what ADESA means for scale, a new study showing used EVs winning on long-term ownership math in a firm wholesale market, and Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro raising the stakes in the accelerating AI arms race.Carvana is doubling down on its bold goal of selling 3 million retail units annually by 2030–2035 — and ADESA is the engine under the hood. After a record 2025, the company says the runway is real.Carvana sold 596,641 vehicles in 2025, up 43%, with revenue jumping 49% to $20.3B. Net income hit a record $1.9B, and Q4 adjusted EBITDA reached $511M.CEO Ernie Garcia outlined a four-part plan: increase staffing, integrate retail production lines into more ADESA sites, build new lines, and eventually develop greenfield inspection centers.The company plans six to eight new ADESA integrations in 2026, with full buildouts costing $30–35M per site and adding 40,000 units of annual capacity each.We've got something a little tactical from this morning's Automotive State of the Union email: A new University of Michigan study says three-year-old EVs now deliver the lowest seven-year total cost of ownership in the U.S. And in today's firm Q1 wholesale market, that early depreciation story matters even more.Researchers reviewed 260,000 used listings across 17 cities, modeling price, depreciation, financing, insurance, maintenance, energy, and resale. In most cases, used BEVs came out cheapest to own.The key? Front-loaded depreciation. EVs drop harder in years one through three, lowering second-owner acquisition cost. After that, curves normalize — with battery warranty remaining as a major variable.With more off-lease EV volume coming, the opportunity is simple: buy where depreciation already did the heavy lifting and let the second buyer win on the math.Google just dropped Gemini 3.1 Pro, and early benchmarks suggest it may be one of the most powerful large language models yet. As the AI arms race heats up, the leap in “agentic” performance is turning heads across tech.Gemini 3.1 Pro is currently in preview, with general release coming soon. Observers say it's a significant jump from Gemini 3, which was already considered highly capable last November.On independent benchmarks — including Humanity's Last Exam — Google says the new model significantly outperformed its predecessor.Today's show is brought to you by ESi-Q.

NY Giants rumors are heating up: is a Jaylen Waddle trade tied to a first-round pick swap worth the contract spike and what would it cost this roster?If you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, a quick 5-star rating and follow us. It helps a ton.We break down the Waddle smoke from every angle: moving from pick 5 to pick 11, the rumored player add-ons (Kayvon Thibodeaux or Darius Slayton), and why the money is the real issue once the cap number jumps into the $32M and $35M range after 2026. Then we react to the Travis Kelce-to-Giants chatter, why it feels like classic offseason noise, and what a short-term veteran TE swing would actually mean for the offense. We wrap with a cap-cut fit board at WR, TE, OL, and CB, focusing on which names make sense only if the price and medicals cooperate.Listener Q&A: Waddle trade: A) swap down to 11 or B) stay at 5 and spend elsewhere?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@2giantgoofballs?sub_confirmation=1Send a textSupport the show

Juan and Tim are back for a LIVE episode with Nachiket Mehta, an experienced data leader who has lived and breathed the “shift left”. In this episode we unpack how ontology, events and culture unlock enterprise AI. We discuss the gap between what your systems think is happening and what's actually happening on the ground and dive into real world examples: a trailer with expensive merchandise sat forgotten in a yard for weeks. $35M in delayed orders. The math added up, but nobody saw it coming. Why? Because we're obsessed with cleaning data and building dashboards, but nobody mapped the happy path vs. the exceptions actually happening on the ground. What is delivery when the customer isn't home? What's "lost in transit" versus "sitting in our own yard"? The solution? Send your ontologist to the fulfillment center. Build tiger teams. Shift your data teams left to act like software product teams. And most importantly: connect the five why's back to your OKRs, or you're just building features nobody needs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anne Ghesquière reçoit la Dre Lisa Mosconi, neuroscientifique, spécialiste de la santé cérébrale des femmes, elle a été reconnue par The Times comme l'une des 17 femmes scientifiques les plus influentes au monde. Et si la ménopause n'était pas seulement une transition hormonale mais avant tout une transition neurologique ? Pourquoi tant de femmes se sentent-elles soudainement anxieuses, épuisées, distraites ou perdues pendant la périménopause et la ménopause sans comprendre ce qui leur arrive ? Les femmes « perdent-elles vraiment la tête » ? Comment la ménopause affecte-t-elle la mémoire, l'humeur, le sommeil et la régulation émotionnelle ? Et que peut nous apprendre la science pour aider les femmes à mieux traverser cette étape cruciale de leur vie ? Le Dr Lisa Mosconi décrypte les effets de la ménopause et de la périménopause sur le cerveau des femmes afin de les aider à mieux comprendre et aborder cette période. Son dernier ouvrage, La Ménopause commence dans le cerveau, est publié en français chez Thierry Souccar Éditions. Lisa Mosconi est neuroscientifique, professeure à l'université de New York (Weill Cornell Medicine), où elle dirige un programme de prévention de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Épisode #668Quelques citations du podcast avec la Dre Lisa Mosconi : "La ménopause est une transition dynamique neurologique.""La ménopause ressemble à un projet de rénovation du cerveau.""La ménopause agit un peu comme un révélateur.

RedBird & Galaxy)• Use cases across gaming, fintech, health/fitness, hospitality, and more

Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com   From Bankruptcy at 24 to $35M: Building Profitable Business Through Discipline and Purpose with Mike Chaput   What if the worst business failure of your life became the foundation for 26 years of unbroken profitability?   At 24, Michael Chaput bought a business that went bankrupt. At 50, he runs a $35 million company that hasn't had a single unprofitable month in 26 years—not through 2008, not through COVID, not ever. In this episode, Michael shares the hard-won lessons from hitting rock bottom and how financial discipline, tough decisions, and the right philosophy about profit built a business that never bleeds red.   In this episode, you will learn: Why "caring too much" kills deals: How poor due diligence and bad leases destroyed Michael's first business and the bankruptcy lessons that changed everything. The 17% margin discipline: How Michael uses peer benchmarking to spot expense ratio problems (like rent at 20% vs. industry standard of 3-6%) and maintains profitability every single month. Why keeping poor performers is cruel: The science of play vs. economic pressure and why letting underperformers go is the kindest thing you can do for them and your team. Profit as constraint, not purpose: Michael's philosophy that profit is like staying in bounds in basketball—necessary, but not the point of the game. How operating systems create alignment: Using Rockefeller Habits and EOS to turn vision into action and inspire "play" instead of toil. The 1,000-book advantage: Why reading one business book per week for 20 years built the foundation for every major decision.   Key Takeaway: Profitability isn't luck—it's discipline and hard decisions made quickly. Michael Chaput's 26-year track record without a single red month proves that success comes from three non-negotiables: (1) knowing your numbers cold (benchmark expense ratios, target specific margins like his 17%), (2) making tough calls fast (letting poor performers go is kindness, not cruelty), and (3) treating profit as a constraint, not your purpose. Bad deals have long tails, so care enough to walk away. Build a clear vision that inspires "play" instead of just paychecks. And never stop learning—Michael read 1,000+ business books over 20 years. That's how you build a business that never bleeds red, no matter what the economy throws at you.   Bio: Mike Chaput bought his first company at 24 with borrowed money and no experience, a move that led to early failure and bankruptcy, but also ignited a lifelong drive to understand what makes businesses succeed. He took those hard-won lessons and built a new company from the ground up, scaling it to $35M in revenue with 140 employees, best-in-class margins, and a values-driven culture. With degrees from Columbia Business School and UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, Mike blends top-tier strategy with real-world execution. As a founder and the CEO of Endsight, as well as a board member and trusted advisor to multiple high-growth companies, Mike brings a grounded, operator's perspective to leadership, sustainable growth, and building resilient teams with purpose.   Links: Website: https://www.endsight.net/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelchaput/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechaputperspective/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thechaputperspective   Conclusion: Michael Chaput's journey from bankruptcy at 24 to building a $35 million company with 26 years of unbroken profitability isn't just inspiring—it's a masterclass in what separates businesses that thrive from those that merely survive. The lessons are clear: financial discipline beats hope, tough decisions beat comfort, and a uniting vision beats just working for a paycheck.   If you've been struggling with profitability, tolerating poor performers, or feeling like you're constantly firefighting, this episode gives you the blueprint to break free. Start by knowing your numbers, set your margin target, benchmark against your peers, and have the courage to make the hard calls. Remember: profit is necessary, but purpose is what makes the game worth playing.   #ProfitAnswerMan #Profitability #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Tonight on On Trial, Mark Radulich and Jesse Starcher put two divorces in the dock: Danny DeVito's The War of the Roses (1989) vs. Jay Roach's pseudo-remake The Roses (2025). DeVito's film—adapted from Warren Adler's 1981 novel, scripted by Michael J. Leeson and produced by James L. Brooks and Arnon Milchan—reunites Romancing the Stone stars Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, with DeVito as the couple's lawyer. A pitch-black farce of marital escalation, it cost about $26M and grossed about $160M worldwide. Roach and writer Tony McNamara retool the premise for modern resentment: Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, plus Allison Janney, Kate McKinnon, Andy Samberg, and Ncuti Gatwa, as careers invert and the gloves come off. Released Aug. 29, 2025, it opened around $6.3M domestically and has earned about $15.3M in the U.S./Canada on an estimated $35M budget.

Order NOW to get exclusive signed editions from BN.com  AND the Special Edition from Target!In the winter of 1980, wealthy socialite Martha “Sunny” von Bulow was found unconscious in the bathroom of the mansion she shared with her husband, Claus, in Newport, Rhode Island. An ambulance was called and Sunny was rushed to the nearest emergency room, but paramedics and doctors were unable to revive her and Sunny would remain in a coma until her death in 2008. At first, Sunny's coma was a mystery to doctors, but soon suspicion fell on her husband, Claus, who appeared indifferent to her condition and was openly carrying on an affair with another woman. The family launched a private investigation and eventually turned up strong evidence they believed implicated Claus in the attempted murder of Sunny, but, as they soon learned, believing it and proving it were two very different things.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1985.

In this episode, the hosts break down an absurdly profitable worm farm in rural California that claims $1.5M in cash flow and may be one of the best deals they've ever seen—if it's real.Welcome to Acquisitions Anonymous – the #1 podcast for small business M&A. Every week, we break down businesses for sale and talk about buying, operating, and growing them.

A few years ago, Triad members Dana and Tyler Dunkelberger were gathering $35M in new assets with a four-person team. And like most advisors, when growth started ramping up, they kept their foot on the gas.They ran 100+ dinner seminars a year, added clients as fast as they could, and tried to solve capacity issues by adding more advisors to the team.But the harder they pushed, the more obvious it became — their model couldn't keep up. They were growing, but it was completely unsustainable. They were building a service nightmare that was slowly swallowing their time, their energy, and their quality of life.Fast forward to today, and not only has their firm tripled growth, pacing for $100M in new assets, but they now have a 17-person team, clearly defined roles, and a model that actually scales. Dana is here today to walk through the steps they took, the hires they made, and the mindset shifts that turned an unsustainable business into one that scales with purpose and significance.3 of the biggest insights from Dana Dunkelberger…#1.) Why “Stepping on the Gas” Eventually Stops WorkingDana talks about how running 100+ seminars a year filled the pipeline fast — but also created more service work than he and Tyler could ever keep up with. The harder they pushed, the more buried they became. Adding another advisor didn't fix it either, because it just duplicated the same problem. The real issue wasn't effort… it was the model.#2) The Shift That Quietly Fueled Their $100M PaceFor a long time, Reliance looked like every other firm — same products, same conversations, same playbook. Then Dana and Tyler built a simple, repeatable framework that showed clients exactly how they work and what makes them different. That shift in structure and message made their meetings clearer, their value easier to understand, and became a major driver behind their growth.#3) The One Hire That Opened the Door to $1M+ ClientsDana didn't realize how much he was holding the business back by trying to build all the plans himself. Bringing on a dedicated planner changed everything. The plans got better, the advisors got to stay in their lane, and higher-net-worth clients suddenly saw a firm with real depth. It was the missing piece that finally allowed the business to scale.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/144FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.
