Podcasts about 3M

What does it take for a corporate scientist with zero direct reports to land on a list dominated by business school professors and bestselling authors? That's the question Jayshree Seth had to answer for herself when she was named to the Thinkers50 Radar in 2025 — and her answer became a framework. In her third appearance on the show, Jayshree Seth, 3M's Chief Science Advocate and now-published trilogy author, returns to catch listeners up on a remarkable stretch: a Thinkers50 keynote, a panel alongside Amy Edmondson, an HBR collaboration on trust and AI, and the release of her third book, The Heart of Science: Engineering Blueprint. The conversation moves through several of Jayshree's signature acronym-driven frameworks. There's METRICS-OPTICS-RUBRICS-ENERGETICS, born from reflecting on how she — an engineer with no traditional management credentials — ended up on a list built for management thinkers. There's the "three Cs" that block innovation: copy-pasting, catchphrositis, and cherry-picking, delivered as her Thinkers50 keynote. And there's VIABLE, her personal-branding framework built around voice and visibility, image and impact, backstory and behaviors, and experience and exposure. Beyond the frameworks, this is a conversation about the mechanics of building a reputation from inside a technical role. Jayshree traces the specific chain of relationships — a mention in David Epstein's book Range, an introduction to Rita McGrath, an eventual collaboration with Amy Edmondson on psychological safety and "intelligent failure" applied to human-AI trust — that turned an internal 3M scientist into an external voice cited in Harvard Business Review and Fast Company. Bill and Jayshree also dig into what it means to write a book for three different audiences at once — emerging thought leaders, established experts, and Hall of Fame-level veterans — and why friction in that process is often a sign you're doing it right. The episode closes with a reflection on responsibility: once you have an audience, thought leadership isn't a hobby, it's a discipline that has to coexist with a full-time job. If you've ever wondered whether your expertise "counts" as thought leadership because it didn't come with a traditional credential, this one's for you.     Three Key Takeaways: • Being different can be your competitive advantage, not a liability. Jayshree's METRICS-OPTICS-RUBRICS-ENERGETICS framework argues that outsiders to a field — like an engineer among management thinkers — don't need to conform to existing rubrics. Changing the measurement, the framing, and the energy you bring can alter who gets to lead a conversation. • Reaching out to "inaccessible" experts is a discipline, not a gamble. Jayshree's collaborations with Amy Edmondson, Rita McGrath, and others didn't start with credentials — they started with cold outreach after reading an article or hearing a podcast. The lesson: most thought leaders are more accessible than they appear, and it's okay if they say no. • A personal brand for thought leadership rests on delivery, not image. Her VIABLE framework (voice/visibility, image/impact, backstory/behaviors, experience/exposure) puts the emphasis on tangible results and consistent values over aesthetics — visibility only amplifies a brand that already has substance behind it.   This episode isn't just an interview — it's a live example of the ideas in Bill's brand-new book, The Thought Leadership Handbook, co-written with Peter Winick and Naren Aryal. Jayshree's journey — from in-house corporate scientist to Thinkers50 Radar honoree — is practically a case study for the book's core idea: that thought leadership follows identifiable patterns, not luck. In fact, the book itself draws on more than 700 conversations from this very podcast, and organizes those stories into five thought leadership "avatars" — Jayshree's path as an In-House Expert turned public voice fits right into that framework. If her VIABLE branding model resonated with you, the Handbook goes deeper into exactly how experts like her make that leap from personal effort to public influence. Pick up The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas — And How You Can Too, by Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal, wherever books are sold — including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Amplify Publishing Group's website.

In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with David Glover of 3M to preview what attendees can expect from 3M's booth at PACK EXPO, taking place October 18–21 in Chicago. David shares his 14-year journey at 3M — from product specialist to global sales trainer to portfolio marketing manager — and explains why he considers himself a "tape nerd." The conversation covers 3M's long history of packaging innovation, the growing challenge of sealing high-recycled-content corrugate, and the new products 3M is bringing to PACK EXPO to help customers meet sustainability goals without sacrificing performance.Key Topics Discussed:David Glover's career path at 3M: product specialist, converter markets, packaging territory sales, global sales trainer, and now portfolio marketing manager for box sealing tapesWhy packaging is the "last line of defense" for manufacturers and the cost of getting it wrong3M's history of innovation: invention of Scotch Brand tape in 1929 (Richard Drew and William McKnight) and the case sealer in 1969The rising challenge of sealing boxes made with higher percentages of recycled content, including reduced flexural stiffness and inconsistent fiber surfacesThe "chemistry vs. physics" framework David uses to evaluate any packaging applicationNew product launches debuting at PACK EXPO: RC Plus tape head — designed for consistent sealing on lightweight, highly recycled-content boxes, with bolt-on attachments for customization571 Plus sustainable paper tape — a high-performing adhesive that bonds to up to 100% recycled materialWhere the packaging industry is headed on sustainability: custom-printed tape, recycled content, and evolving state and global legislationThe scale of PACK EXPO International — roughly 48,000 attendees at Chicago's McCormick PlaceChapters: 00:35 Introduction to Sustainable Packaging01:07 Introduction to Sustainable Packaging and David Glover's Background04:14 The Importance of Packaging in Manufacturing07:15 3M's Innovation and History in Packaging12:02 Upcoming Innovations at Pac Expo International15:10 Sustainability Trends in the Packaging Industry18:08 Future Directions in Sustainable PackagingResources Mentioned:PACK EXPO International3M Booth: N57203M3M RC Plus + Sealing SystemContact:Attendees can visit 3M at Booth N5720 at PACK EXPO International to see the equipment and new products in person.Closing Thoughts:Cory and David highlight how 3M's century of innovation continues to evolve alongside the packaging industry's shift toward recyclable, reusable, and more sustainable materials — and invite listeners to stop by the 3M booth in Chicago to see it firsthand.Thank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!Support our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- FOREST-PKGhttps://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedhttps://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

The business is asking $12 million on approximately $4.1 million of revenue and $3.4 million of listed seller discretionary earnings, while claiming gross margins above 95%. Its core product is a patented reusable steel cassette system that allows two, three, or four vehicles to be efficiently loaded into standard 40-foot shipping containers. The company has 11 active patents, says its equipment has helped transport more than 2.5 million vehicles across 30+ countries, and makes money primarily through multi-year equipment leases.But there's a mystery hiding behind those numbers: the company currently has 6,501 fully paid cassettes available for new contracts, equipment originally built for roughly $6.3 million. Why is so much capacity sitting unused? The hosts debate whether the company is simply at the bottom of a cyclical shipping market, facing a new competitor or substitute technology, dealing with expiring or weakened patents, or experiencing a significant decline that isn't obvious from the listing. They also question whether the headline cash flow adequately reflects the business's CapEx requirements and the cost of building a competitive sales organization.

Alex Hormozi is back on the show, and I'm telling you right now, this may be my favorite conversation we've ever had together. I believe Alex is one of the best business minds in the world today, but what makes him different is his ability to take incredibly complex ideas and make them immediately actionable. We get into everything from productivity and AI to leadership, leverage, risk, and why some entrepreneurs explode through barriers while others stay trapped at the same level for years. One of the biggest ideas we unpack is something I believe every entrepreneur needs to hear: the risk that got you where you are may not be enough to get you where you want to go. Alex explains why so many entrepreneurs get trapped between $1 million and $3 million in revenue. You've finally made enough money to become comfortable, and now the very thing that helped you survive starts working against you. You become protective. You stop making the bets that got you there. But if you want another level, your capacity for risk has to expand alongside your capacity for opportunity. We also go deep on effort, focus, and leverage. Alex challenges the obsession with complicated morning routines and explains why your best cognitive hours should be protected for your most important work. He breaks down his philosophy that "work is the goal," why winning against other people eventually becomes too low of a standard, and why some of the most successful people measure themselves against what they were truly capable of giving. And his take on AI absolutely stopped me. Too many entrepreneurs are using AI to do the wrong things faster instead of asking whether those things should be done at all. Sometimes the greatest leverage isn't doing something more efficiently. It's eliminating it completely. But underneath all the business strategy is something even bigger. Alex talks about becoming a father, thinking differently about legacy, redefining what a great day actually looks like, and asking a deceptively simple question before taking a risk: What will this actually change about my day? We talk about why fear lives in the vague, why failure builds the pattern recognition that eventually makes success repeatable, and why great entrepreneurs eventually stop "building" businesses and start assembling them. If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or someone who knows there's another level in you, this episode will challenge the way you think about work, risk, success, and what you're actually building your life for. Key Takeaways: • Why your risk tolerance has to increase as your success increases• The $1M to $3M "swamp" that keeps entrepreneurs stuck• Why "work is the goal" can completely change how you measure success• How to protect your highest cognitive hours and eliminate unnecessary routines• Why focus is subtraction and doing less can create more leverage• The biggest mistake entrepreneurs are making with AI right now• How failure creates pattern recognition and makes future success faster• Why great entrepreneurs eventually stop building businesses and start assembling them• How Alex evaluates risk by asking what it will actually change about his daily life This one is packed with ideas I'll personally be thinking about for a long time. If you know an entrepreneur who feels stuck at the same level, send them this episode. It might show them exactly what's been holding them back. MAX OUT.

Story of the Week (DR):Tim Cook Could Still Out-Earn Apple's New CEO John Ternus Under a Special Pay ArrangementApple set John Ternus's fiscal 2027 salary at $3M and his annual equity award at $55M, giving him a calculated fiscal 2027 salary-and-equity package of $58M.Cook will receive a $2M salary and a $45M annual equity award as executive chair, giving him a calculated salary-and-equity package of $47M.Almost all of the value in both packages comes through Apple shares rather than salary. Ternus has 75% of his equity award tied to performance, while Cook has 50% tied to performance.That structure gives Ternus greater exposure to performance, for better or worse. If Apple performs strongly against other S&P 500 companies, Ternus could receive more from his equity award. If the performance-based awards pay little or nothing, Cook could receive more from salary and equity even though he is no longer CEO. Cook also has a retirement provision that Ternus does not have.Volkswagen Supervisory Board Approves Plan To Slash Models & Reduce Workforce By 100,000In June, Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume had a plan to close four factories in Germany and eliminate 100,000 workers, both in Germany and around the world, by 2030. It said the plan would be made public at a company board meeting on July 9. July 9 came and went, and the plan did not get the approval from the board of directors that Blume expected. The vote was 12 against and only 7 in favor of Blume's vision.Then, on September 3, 2026, Volkswagen Group announced that the plan submitted in June had been approved unanimously by the supervisory board.CEO Oliver Blume: “The Supervisory Board has unanimously approved the Executive Board's Future Plan presented today. This is a strong sign for the future of the Volkswagen Group.

I can take a simple company that does shit that people need and is boring and make FULL CRYPTO DUDE!”His name is Milton Ault, and he buys nearly 230,000 shares on the market in late 2024 and cons JLA Realty - an actual real estate company who owned 8% of UUU in early 2025 - to give him the shares to vote in late 2024Milton Ault III, who sounds like he's struggled deeply in life, is the founder of “Hyperscale Data” and “BitNile” who loves to buy majority stakes in companies and then force them to do crypto and AI data centers - you know, all the stuff cool kids doHe gets an MOU and appointed to the boardBy mid 2025, he has the company start a new subsidiary called Universal DeFi that generates AULT coin - so now their annual report and proxy says “we make a bunch of outlets, oh and now we do AULT coin crypto defi whatever!”“we marketed a line of residential smoke and carbon monoxide alarms… We also market door chimes, ventilation products, ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI's), and other electrical devices… We also exhibit and sell our products at various trade shows, including the annual National Hardware Show.”... NEXT PARAGRAPH“In July 2025, we formed Universal DeFi LLC as a new venture to diversify the business and explore new paths for revenue and stockholder value. Universal DeFi is pursuing two lines of business. First, Universal DeFi is developing and intends to own and operate a tokenization platform, which has not yet commenced operations. Tokenization is the process of representing ownership of real-world or financial assets as a digital token recorded on a blockchain, which is a shared digital record-keeping system maintained across many computers simultaneously, with no single controlling authority. The platform will provide technology and infrastructure for issuers to tokenize their assets. Second, subsequent to the last fiscal year end, Universal DeFi has acquired and commenced limited operations running licensed nodes and a validator on the Ault Blockchain, as described under “Ault Node Operations” below.”In the 2026 proxy, Ault forces the company to issue Class B shares issued after special meeting The new class of common stock would consist of 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of our Class B Common Stock would generally have terms identical to a share of our Class A Common Stock, except with respect to voting power. Stockholders would be entitled to twenty-five votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held by them compared to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock, when voting together on matters presented to our stockholders. - the 25 vote petty tyrant premium!Then, INVESTORS APPROVE ITI just wanted to buy the stock of a simple light socket company and I can't even fucking do that without a tech crypto bro with a goatee making it horrible - I sold my shares after a proxy solicitor called me to ask “how do you think you'll vote on this?”Enphase Energy DRDo your best to ignore Enphase Energy's absurd series of events:Longest tenured and Class II director Benjamin Kortlang, director since Obama was in his first term (16 years), along with three of his colleagues (Jamie Haenggi and Richard Mora) comes up for election in the May annual meeting.Said election is not without import – the classified board means a Kortlang election victory would take him to 2029 before he sees another vote, guaranteeing him a near 20 year tenure at a company where he's produced a pure mediocre 0.538 TSR (where 0.500 is median for all peer directors) and a not-so-great 0.348 CEO pay ratio (he likes approving pay that's higher than average relative to peer median).The vote happens on May 13, the results are released on May 15, and the 8K shows Kortlang got 43% approval – the rare non majority for the sleepy, passive American proxy voters – with only 36m shares in approval versus 48m shares withheld. Kortlang's fellow classmates got a more respectable 84% and 94% approval – maybe Kortlang being chair of the nominating committee with a 16 year tenure on a classified plurality board was just one straw too many.On June 11, Enphase increases the size of its board and adds a new Class I director, Shanker Trivedi, who is added less than a month after the AGM and won't see an election until 2028 for the first time. So even as investors want directors OUT, Enphase shrugs and gives another director immunity from a vote for 2 yearsIt takes Enphase until August 10 – THREE FULL MONTHS since the AGM – to respond to the investor vote against Kortlang, in which they say the board “unanimously voted to retain Mr. Kortlang as a member” based on the report of the nominating committee (Kortlang recused himself to avoid the appearance that he could influence the people on the committee he chairs who have less tenure and experience than he does). They reject the vote, but issue the following: ‘“The Board approached this review with great care and took the stockholder vote seriously," said Steve Gomo, chair of Enphase Energy's Board of Directors. "We concluded that Mr. Kortlang's experience, judgment, independence, and contributions remain valuable to the Board and the company. We also believe Mr. Malchow is well positioned to lead the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as we continue to strengthen our governance practices.”'GASLIT: At this point it's worth asking whether this gaslight is necessary? Can we dispense with it? His “independence” after 16 years, and guaranteeing 19 years with the classified structure? “Strengthen our governance practices,” says the company that expanded the board LESS THAN A MONTH after shareholders reject their structure and director, only to add a new director who can avoid a vote for 2 years? A board where only TWO directors are tagged as having merit on paper? Where Kortlang is one of two directors who are considered entirely deferential to management? While this is another new excuse?SEC Chair Paul Atkins and the snowflake corporate nanny stateJust “clarified” 13G (passive investor) engagement rules, and had some riveting thoughts of what investors (THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY) can do:Investors can generally participate in discussions initiated by an issuer about its views or voting decisions.Like the Bumble of corporate engagement, the company must swipe first and ask “why did you vote that way?”The SEC went on to say that “participation” in those discussions will not “by itself” disqualify you as passiveThen this: investors will be able to approach issuers to seek clarification about information in company filings, including proxy materials, without automatically losing their Schedule 13G statusHe just told investors what they can ask about - you can only ask about what got printed in our filing that says how great we are - no questions about the news, investigations, actual real world risks…OR, you could go with a normal asshole speed round:Anthropic Wants Governments to Stop 'Catastrophic' AI Models Before They Are DeployedDude who makes and sells models wants someone to stop him from making and selling modelsTrump dismisses warnings that AI could wipe out humanity, saying China is the real AI riskNot American Corporate China: Zuck, Altman, Musk, Sergey/LarryMajor Seattle CEOs demand 100-day action plan on public safety from socialist Mayor Katie WilsonSatya Nadella and Brian Niccol are demanding that the lady who's been in office for 8 months fix PUBLIC SAFETY in the next 100 days having nothing to do with the fact that she's a lady and a progressiveLetters were not penned to former mayors…Ed Murray, resigned due to multiple allegations of child abuse, rape, and sexual molestationBruce Harrell, who in 1996 pointed a gun at a man, his mother, and his pregnant wife, in a Council Bluffs casinoPeople are comparing the letter to OTHER lady mayor Jenny DurkanUber's CEO says you could see lower ride prices as a result of its layoffsRemember that every ride: you are taking someone's payHumans need to 'surf the wave' of AI rather than get swallowed by it, Chesky says at CommunacopiaAmazon is being sued for allegedly firing and denying breaks to pregnant warehouse workersIsn't peeing in a bottle enough of a break?Headliniest of the WeekDR: Ryanair CEO disputes report that injured passenger was partly sucked out window: “He wasn't partially out the window.

Today we're talking about the Death of a Pastor's Wife documentary, which, with it's religion, cyberstalking, and marital control themes, got us going down a dark path. We hear about the scammer, Daejon Love, who convinced 26 women he was the star player for the 49ers, and got them to give him $1.3M. We learn about "Baby Jessica's" recent run-in with the law, and while we don't condone her actions, we can see how someone could resent having their identity hinge on being infamous from their toddler years. We discuss a man who hiked Mt. Fuji with his 7yo, and after the boy started whining, he left him there with only a snack as he continued his hike for hours. We talk about the Lindsay Clancy trial, the conspiracy theories, and why her case is about the need for postpartum care, good therapy, and good doctors. We debate a recent conversation we had about how long one should keep their undies. And we find out what a 3,000 year old mummy smells like, and what scholars are doing to keep the smell alive.00:00 - Autumn Anticipation, Rocky Mountains, and Flea Infestation08:39 - Unpacking the Dark Truth of a Pastor's Wife20:24 - Love: Scamming Women as a Fake 49er29:36 - Baby Jessica's Infamy and Domestic Violence Arrest44:24 - 3000-Year-Old Mummy Smells and Underwear Debate53:24 - Join Our Patreon and Candy Club Book DiscussionsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodHead to https://cozyearth.com and use our code BRAINCANDY for up to 20% off home and sleepwear.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

We start with some follow-up on Joe's chicken coop, which apparently looks amazing—and we may even get a little into the mechanics behind it. Dave looks at the growing scam crisis in the U.S., including how victims are often targeted a second time by recovery scammers after losing money in the first scam. Joe covers a massive identity-theft operation allegedly offering more than 153 million stolen driver's license records for sale on the dark web, with investigators working to determine where the data came from. Maria explores a multimillion-dollar romance and investment scam in which a man allegedly posed as an NFL player, using fake identities, relationships, and phony investment accounts to defraud at least 26 women.

James Anderson, Chairman & CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V: GSVR) (OTCQX: GSVRF), joins us for a comprehensive update on Q2 2026 financials, year-to-date operations trends, the 16,000 meters of underground development work underway, and the key initiatives for their ongoing 75,000 meter drill program at each mine.   Guanajuato Silver produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, the San Ignacio mine, and their recently acquired Bolanitos Gold-Silver Mine. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.  In addition to these 5 producing mines, the Company also has 3 past-producing exploration and development projects in their portfolio at the El Horcon Mine, Pinguico Mine, and Cebada Mine.    Q2 2026 Highlights   Revenue of $42.5M was consistent with the previous quarter, where revenue totalled $43.0M. Over 95% of revenue in Q2 was derived from the sale of precious metals. Net income remained positive in Q2 at $557,000; and $6.3M for the first half of 2026. This was the Company's second consecutive quarter of net positive income. Silver production of 347,481 ounces represents a 2% increase over the previous quarter. 57% of revenue for Q2 was generated from silver sales. The gold-rich Bolanitos Mine remains in the process of ramp-up and full integration. The Company's debt was substantially reduced in Q2; a total of 3,029 ounces of gold were paid down on the Company's gold loan with Ocean Partners UK Ltd; this accelerated repayment eliminated all future monthly payments at a significant discount to the current gold price. The Company now has only one final payment due in April 2028.  Positive mine operating income for the quarter; the Company earned $9.1M in Q2 and $23.4M from operations for the first half of the year. Adjusted EBITDA* was also positive for the quarter at $5.8M and $20.6M for H1 2026. 300 ounces of gold sales per month were hedged at the fixed price of $5220/ounce; this hedge began at the beginning of the quarter and will run until December 2026. This hedge represents approximately 25% of current gold production. 20,000 ounces of silver sales per month were sold forward at the fixed price of $84.50/ounce; this hedge began in February and will run until September 2026. An additional 20,000 ounces of silver sales per month were hedged using a collar with a minimum price of $80/ounce and maximum price of $93 per ounce; this hedge began in April and will run until December 2026. Combined, these hedges represent approximately 34% of current silver production. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $19.9M at the end of the quarter.   We reviewed how the All-In Sustaining Costs were affected not just by currency fluctuations and a large investment back into the 5 mines, but also due to shifts in the gold:silver ratio, and how that skews the silver equivalent metrics.   James outlines the key ongoing 2026 initiatives with the ongoing 16,000 meters of underground development work paired with the 75,000-meter drill program, currently utilizing 8 drill rigs to augment exploration initiatives. This is largest exploration program the company has ever deployed, with some areas getting the first meaningful resource expansion in many years.     If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

It said the plan would be made public at a company board meeting on July 9. July 9 came and went, and the plan did not get the approval from the board of directors that Blume expected. The vote was 12 against and only 7 in favor of Blume's vision.Then, on September 3, 2026, Volkswagen Group announced that the plan submitted in June had been approved unanimously by the supervisory board.CEO Oliver Blume: “The Supervisory Board has unanimously approved the Executive Board's Future Plan presented today. This is a strong sign for the future of the Volkswagen Group. We are taking responsibility for our entire team, for our partners and for industrial jobs worldwide.”A record 47% want stronger unions. Labor's challenge is turning support into power. DCNERDY ESG STUFF (CARES/DON'T CARE)Tim Cook Could Still Out-Earn Apple's New CEO John Ternus Under a Special Pay Arrangement CApple set John Ternus's fiscal 2027 salary at $3M and his annual equity award at $55M, giving him a calculated fiscal 2027 salary-and-equity package of $58M.Cook will receive a $2M salary and a $45M annual equity award as executive chair, giving him a calculated salary-and-equity package of $47M.Almost all of the value in both packages comes through Apple shares rather than salary. Ternus has 75% of his equity award tied to performance, while Cook has 50% tied to performance.That structure gives Ternus greater exposure to performance, for better or worse. If Apple performs strongly against other S&P 500 companies, Ternus could receive more from his equity award. If the performance-based awards pay little or nothing, Cook could receive more from salary and equity even though he is no longer CEO. Cook also has a retirement provision that Ternus does not have.Good Good's CEO and president are out after ad debacle CCo-founder Matt Kendrick said that he didn't view the ad before it ran and that the marketing team oversaw it.Co-founder Nahid Giga will step in as interim CEO“Matt has decided to step down as CEO of Good Good”No mention of adSEC sues ISS as Trump administration ramps up scrutiny of proxy advisers CThe Securities and Exchange Commission sued Institutional Shareholder Services, seeking to force the influential proxy adviser to turn over information as the Trump administration steps up scrutiny of firms that help investors decide how to vote their sharesAI STUFF (CARES/DON'T CARE)Data Center Spending to Reach $31.6 Trillion by 2050 on AI Boom CMeta Hit With Sweeping New Claims That Its AI Glasses Violated the Consent of “Millions” of Bystanders in Searing Lawsuit DC"No bystanders anywhere had any opportunity to, much less in fact did, consent to having their faces, bodies, voices, and personal information captured, reviewed, labeled, and embedded into Meta's AI systems."Zohran Mamdani Bans AI for NYC Public School Students Up to Eighth Grade COpenAI Is Now Facing Over 50 Consumer Harm and Wrongful Death Lawsuits DCOpenAI Chief Scientist Warns AI Is Beating Humans at Key Tasks: 'No One Is Prepared' DCBLOWHARD INDEX (SHUT UP/PREACH)Sam Altman says he doesn't like smart glasses: 'I find it very uncomfortable talking to people with a camera and a light' SHUT UPSam Altman says he's 'a mega Apple fan boy' and is sad they are suing OpenAI SHUT UPDollar General CEO says its core customers are in distress PREACHCEO Todd Vasos 432:1Billionaire Warren Buffett Says He's ‘Impressed' His 3 Kids Want to Give Money Away Rather Than Spend It on Themselves Or ‘Build Huge Office Buildings' ' SHUT UPVivek Ramaswamy takes credit for "calling out the epidemic of woke capitalism, educating the country on that" PREACHDUMB STUFF (DUMB/NOT DUMB)Target is under fire over another Halloween costume just weeks after apologizing for the last one DUMBTarget, Walmart, and Amazon have pulled a “German Army Soldier Adult Costume” from their websites that resembles the uniforms of Nazi soldiers during World War II.Halloween chocolate eyeballs sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls recalled over hidden milk allergen NOT DUMBGerman Far Right Party AfD Wins Regional Election, Thanks Musk for Support NOT DUMB26% of Gen Z Investors Include Sports Betting in Their Financial Strategy DUMBZoom Appoints Former Oracle CFO Jeff Epstein to Board of Directors; Jonathan Chadwick to Retire DUMBHumanoid Robot Fights Back After Getting Shoved DUMBA viral CCTV video shows the individual lightly shoving what appears to be a Chinese Unitree G1 humanoid robot.

Most painting contractors don't start a painting business for 90-hour weeks — they start it for time and money freedom. So why do so many end up doing estimates at 9 PM, taking customer calls on weekends, and covering jobs when a painter doesn't show?In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore — founder of Elite Business Advisors and owner of a residential painting company — breaks down the Buyback Principle: the framework Elite Business Advisors has used to help hundreds of painting contractors remove themselves from the daily grind and run their painting company like a CEO instead of its hardest-working employee.You'll hear the real story of a painting contractor who went from 4 employees, $500K in revenue, and 80-90 hour weeks — taking home about the same as his own painters — to scaling toward $1.3M by fixing his job costing, pricing, and delegation.What you'll learn in this episode:How to calculate your Buyback Rate (and your ideal Buyback Rate)Why a simple 2-week time audit reveals exactly what to delegate or hire forHow to reinvest freed-up time into the high-value work only you should be doingWhy "I can't afford to hire for this" is the myth keeping painting contractors stuckThe job costing and pricing fixes that unlocked growth for one painting companyThis episode is for painting contractors and painting company owners across the U.S. and Canada who are ready to build a business that runs without them — not one that runs them into the ground.

Send us Fan MailKeith and Brendan sit down with Pamela Stephens, who's spent over a decade shaping influencer and content strategy at 3M — the $25 billion company behind everyday staples like Post-it, Scotch, Command, and Scotch-Brite. Pamela shares how influencer marketing has evolved inside a massive, multi-brand organization and what it takes to get executives to invest in creator partnerships.News catchup covers Meta's landmark $12.2 billion youth safety settlement (with new age verification, screen time caps, and curfew rules for under-18 users on Instagram and Facebook), YouTube's shift to counting a view the instant a video starts playing, and the platform's push to lock in top creators with exclusive deals.Plus this week's Creator of the Week and Brand of the Week picks — including Germany's "Opa Werner," the ongoing Bricks & Minifigs LEGO drama, and a trio of brands (Lovesac, Callaway/Good Good Golf, and Neutrogena) that all learned the hard way what happens when you lose control of the narrative around your marketing.

The traditional Labor Day holiday honors the history of the 40-hour work week, but the ultimate goal for modern investors should be achieving an Ownership Day. This episode breaks down the transition from trading time for money to building a portfolio that covers your true lifestyle needs through passive income. The conversation explores real-world commercial real estate strategies, specifically how high-income earners can use cost segregation to accelerate tax depreciation, offset ordinary income, and keep more capital deployed in active investments.Beyond tax strategies, the discussion outlines a four-decade framework for wealth building, starting from betting on your skills in your twenties to giving generously in your fifties. Listeners will also learn how to weigh the emotional and financial ROI of paying off a low-interest mortgage versus deploying inherited capital into higher-yielding debt funds and index funds. This comprehensive guide provides actionable steps for achieving financial peace of mind while scaling an all-inclusive lifestyle.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED01:01:21 The history of Labor Day and the shift toward celebrating Ownership Day01:10:14 Achieving 100% passive income to cover true lifestyle needs01:16:10 How commercial real estate treats owners differently through accelerated depreciation01:17:09 Utilizing cost segregation studies to pull tax deductions forward to year one01:20:20 When to avoid cost segregation due to short hold periods and recapture risks01:28:16 Analyzing the emotional versus financial ROI of paying off a low-interest mortgage01:31:29 Diversifying inherited wealth across primary residence paydowns, the Imagos Income Fund, and index funds01:37:50 The four decades of investing: building skills, buying assets, deploying capital, and giving generouslyKEY TAKEAWAYSYou don't get your time back by negotiating shorter hours; you get it back by owning assets that pay you whether you show up or not.A dollar of tax deduction today is vastly more valuable than a deduction in 30 years, making cost segregation a powerful tool for commercial real estate owners.Cost segregation is highly effective for long-term holds but can trigger severe depreciation recapture penalties if the asset is sold too quickly.Peace of mind is a legitimate financial return; paying off a primary residence might not optimize a spreadsheet, but it can eliminate major stress.The twenties are for building income and skills, the thirties for converting income to ownership and prioritizing health, the forties for passive compounding, and the fifties for generous giving.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONDiscover luxury home ownership in Orange County with exceptional value from the $600s to $3M at Skyline OC: Visit skylineocresidences.comAccredited investors seeking steady cashflow through first position asset-backed lending with a target 10% return can text "INCOME" to 844-777-1434 for the Imagos Income Fund presentationWant unbiased advice on your investment goals?

Every resuscitation is different. Different patients, different teams, different environments, and often very different outcomes. But one thing remains constant: every clinical encounter has the potential to teach us something. The challenge, particularly in pre-hospital and acute care, is creating the time, space, and culture needed to turn those experiences into meaningful learning and sustained improvement. Debriefing is often viewed as something that happens after the event, a chance to review what happened, identify what went well, and consider what could have been done differently. But effective debriefing is far more than a post-event checklist or a quality improvement exercise. Done well, it can strengthen psychological safety, build trust, improve communication, and help teams develop the shared mental models and expertise needed to perform under pressure.In this episode, David and I are joined by Dr Bridgid Joseph, whose work across resuscitation practice, in-situ simulation, and interprofessional education has given her a unique insight into how teams learn in high-stakes clinical environments. She brings a practical perspective on what makes debriefing effective, and what prevents teams from getting the most from it. Together, we explore whether debriefing is simply a way of learning from what has already happened, or something much more powerful: a mechanism for developing better teams, improving performance, and ultimately delivering better care to patients.This episode is sponsored by PAX: The gold standard in emergency response bags.When you're working under pressure, your kit needs to be dependable, tough, and intuitive.

What does it take to go from $300K in student debt as a Harvard-trained cardiac electrophysiologist to raising $3.5M and partnering in over $60M of real estate assets in just two years? In this episode, Dr. Yasser Rodriguez, founder of Cardea Real Estate Investments, breaks down exactly how he built a fund-to-funds business while working full-time as a physician. He walks through why he chose the fund-to-funds model over syndicating directly — pointing to co-learning with experienced sponsors, reduced pressure, liability reduction as an LP, and time leverage as a busy professional — and shares the details of a med tech surgical blade opportunity with a 21-deal, 100%-success-rate track record that also offers investors tax-free qualified small business shares. Dr. Rodriguez also opens up about his own raising psychology transformation: after adopting the Hero Alliance approach, he went from raising $1.1M over a month and a half to raising $1.3M in just 18 hours, and reveals how a single YouTube video brought in $1M in soft commits within two hours of launch. If you want to understand how a physician with zero real estate background used smart partnerships and sharpened investor psychology to scale into eight figures of assets in under two years, this conversation is packed with the exact strategies to do it.5 Key Takeaways:Dr. Rodriguez raised $3.5M and partnered in $60M+ of assets across multifamily, med tech, and short-term/long-term rentals in just two years — starting with $300K in student debt and no real estate background.He favors the fund-to-funds model over direct syndication because it offers co-learning alongside experienced sponsors, reduced pressure, liability reduction as an LP, and time leverage for a full-time physician.One standout opportunity he's raised for is a med tech surgical blade deal with a 21-deal, 100% success track record, which also offers investors tax-free qualified small business shares.After adopting the Hero Alliance's raising psychology, his results transformed dramatically — going from raising $1.1M over 1.5 months to raising $1.3M in just 18 hours.A single YouTube video generated $1M in soft commits within two hours of launch, showing the power of content combined with techniques like the "three-minute miracle" investor touch-point and scarcity-based "layup allotment" psychology.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Join a free live roundtable at acquisitionlab.com/roundtables and tell them Acquisitions Anonymous sent you.This episode starts with Saltus River Grill, an established waterfront restaurant in the heart of downtown Beaufort, South Carolina. Saltus has been operating since 2003, generates roughly $3.55M in annual revenue, and occupies a prime Bay Street location for about $14K per month in rent. The restaurant has an asking price of roughly $1.1M and benefits from an established brand, waterfront setting, upscale menu, tourism traffic, and more than two decades of operating history.Then the deal gets more interesting: Michael and Mills discover that Hearth Wood Fired Pizza, located in the front of the same building, is also for sale. Hearth generates approximately $2.8M in revenue with an asking price of about $1.2M. Put the two businesses together and you're looking at approximately $6.3M in combined revenue for a ~$2.3M asking price, with combined rent of roughly $26K per month. The hosts debate whether the restaurants should effectively be treated as one acquisition given their proximity and likely operational overlap. Plums, another restaurant under the same ownership group, isn't confirmed to be for sale but creates an important diligence question around how integrated the group's employees, management, vendors, and other resources really are.The biggest risk may be the leases. A buyer needs enough lease runway to finance the acquisition, operate it successfully, and eventually have something transferable to the next buyer. Michael and Mills also dig into Beaufort's seasonality, staffing challenges, the apparent middle-management layer, landlord relationships, and the limited opportunity for explosive growth. Their conclusion is that these appear substantially more transferable than the typical restaurant businesses—but the buyer needs to make the economics work without assuming heroic growth or a huge terminal value.Key Highlights:- $6.3M in combined revenue: Saltus and Hearth are being offered for roughly $2.3M combined.- The lease is critical: Long-term lease terms and renewal options could determine the value of the entire acquisition.- More transferable than most restaurants: Both businesses have established brands, long operating histories, and a built-out management structure.- Shared operations matter: Staffing and management may overlap with Plums, making employee retention and operational separation key diligence items.- Limited growth upside: The hosts believe this deal should be underwritten around steady cash flow rather than aggressive revenue growth.Subscribe to  weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking hereDo you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?

We're heading back to Vista Consulting Team's "A Seat at the Table" event for one of the best conversations Conrad and Gyi had there, and it's been sitting in the vault for a reason. Josh Porte, Partner and M&A Attorney at Holland & Knight, joins the guys to break down the ethics and mechanics of MSO deals, and with private equity continuing to move into law firms, this one's more relevant now than when it was recorded. Josh co-leads Holland & Knight's legal services transactions team and works both sides of these deals, buyers and sellers. He breaks down Rule 5.4 and Rule 5.3, the two rules that actually shape how an MSO can be structured and how money is allowed to move between the MSO and the law firm; plus transfer pricing, AI-native law firm structures, rollover equity instead of non-competes, and how EBITDA multiples drive valuation. Whether or not you're interested in dancing with the PE people, Josh makes the case for running your firm as if it's always ready to be sold.

Small federal contractors who refuse to cut their bid price and instead build bonding capacity through the federal mentor protege program can grow from $3 million to $25 million without sacrificing profit margins. David Rambhajan shares how he capped his personal indemnification at $250,000 inside a mentor-protege agreement with a $1.5 billion company, protected his bonding and retained earnings, and used a six-month payroll runway to wait out competitors racing to the bottom on price. The result was $25 million to $35 million in revenue, built on work won at the right margin, not the cheapest bid. Host: Eric Coffie, GovCon Giants / Federal Help Center.

That officially pushes it past Avengers: Endgame ($858.3M) to make it the #1 highest-grossing MCU film of all time domestically, and the #2 highest-grossing movie in domestic history behind The Force Awakens. Spidey is carrying the box office on his back right now, and we gotta talk about what this means for the future of the MCU.​Chris Hansen is Beefing with A24?!Finally, we have to touch on the weirdest Hollywood drama of the week: Chris Hansen vs. A24 over their upcoming film Primetime, which stars Robert Pattinson and dramatizes the To Catch a Predator era.​The Screening Walkout: Hansen went to an early private screening, but walked out after refusing to sign a contract that he claims forced him to sign away rights to his name, likeness, and legal standing. A24 claims it was just a standard non-disclosure agreement to stop plot leaks, but Hansen wasn't having it.​The Ad Hijack: Since he wasn't allowed to see how he's being portrayed, Hansen bought up pre-show ad space on screens playing Primetime to plug his own streaming network (TruBlu), reminding audiences they're watching a "fictionalized Hollywood version" of his real life work. Petty or justified? We're breaking it all down!​Hit that subscribe button, leave a review, and let me know your thoughts in the comments. Let's get into it!

What if the biggest threat to your wealth isn't how much you make—but what you were never taught about keeping, protecting, and multiplying it?Marvin Mitchell returns to Inside the Vault with Ash Cash to break down the wealth strategies most people never learn in school, at work, or from the traditional financial system.After more than 20 years as a financial advisor, Marvin says the biggest shift is not always learning something new—it's unlearning the financial habits that keep people retirement rich but cash poor.In this episode, Marvin breaks down the difference between a debtor, saver, and wealth creator; why your money can't grow beyond your mindset; how wealthy people use leverage instead of constantly liquidating assets; and why high earners can still struggle with lifestyle creep.He also opens up about receiving a $1.3 million tax bill and says that after investing in high-level tax expertise, he was able to reduce the bill to under $200,000. Then the conversation turns to AI.Marvin says his coaching business generated $12 million without a single U.S. employee—using AI and overseas team members to keep payroll low while scaling operations. He explains why entrepreneurs should learn tools like ChatGPT, Grok and Perplexity, and why AI should be treated as an amplifier for your knowledge instead of just a shortcut. Marvin and Ash also discuss mentorship, real estate tax strategies, trusts, estate planning, infinite banking, protecting wealth across generations, and why the answer to your next level may not be “how”—it may be “who.”Learn more from Marvin: Instagram: @marvinmitchellofficial TransformYourWealthChallenge.comInside the Vault: @insidethevault InsideTheVaultShow.comHost: @iamashcash IAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 – AI, leverage & the wealth rules nobody teaches 02:17 – Welcome to Inside the Vault 03:23 – Marvin returns after the viral infinite banking episode 04:50 – Who is Marvin Mitchell? 05:48 – What people need to unlearn about money 07:13 – Retirement rich but cash poor 09:01 – Debtor, saver or wealth creator? 10:06 – The 3 money identities 11:05 – Opportunity cost & making money work multiple times 12:06 – Lifestyle creep 12:30 – Budget vs. spending plan 13:14 – Foundation, core & speculative wealth 13:48 – Emergency funds, insurance & protection 14:17 – Building the “boring” core 15:02 – Why YOU are the best investment 16:21 – Can you inherit wealth and keep it? 17:01 – Your money cannot grow beyond your mindset 18:35 – “If you want more, be more” 19:27 – How the IRS can destroy wealth 20:18 – Marvin's $1.3M tax bill 21:41 – Cutting $1.3M to under $200K 22:17 – What schools and jobs don't teach you 23:30 – Why Marvin believes in investing in mentorship 24:00 – The $80 paycheck that changed his thinking 25:10 – $100K mentorships and million-dollar returns 26:03 – The parable of the talents 27:23 – Why the master was the real wealth creator 28:27 – The answer isn't “how”—it's “who” 29:18 – How to avoid fake gurus 30:29 – Look at the fruit AND the infrastructure 31:59 – Should you pay for mentorship? 33:00 – Marvin's mission to become the “Black Dave Ramsey” 33:58 – The Transform Your Wealth Challenge 34:13 – Wealthy people leverage instead of liquidate 34:34 – Real estate tax strategies & cost segregation 35:16 – How the 5-day challenge works 42:54 – Giraffes, turtles & protecting big dreams 44:24 – How to take advantage of the wealth transfer 44:32 – Learn AI 45:02 – Using AI as employees 45:20 – $12M business with no U.S. employees 45:43 – “AI is not here to take your job” 46:42 – AI is an amplifier 47:07 – Marvin's AI business-planning prompt 48:08 – Is becoming your own bank still relevant? 48:49 – Revocable vs. irrevocable trusts 50:11 – Spendthrift, special needs & charitable trusts 54:05 – Why Compass Retirement is becoming Compass Wealth 55:05 – “Abundance is your birthright” 55:55 – Connect with Marvin 56:23 – Join the Transform Your Wealth Challenge 57:04 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Delegate Jackie Hope Glass of the Virginia House of Delegates to talk about the road that led her from community organizing to the statehouse, and what that experience has taught her about building real partnerships between policymakers and the packaging industry. Jackie shares how a habit of "minding other people's business" turned into a grassroots homework program for neighborhood kids, then a school board run, and eventually a seat in the General Assembly. She and Cory also dig into their shared experience at See Change Sessions in Vermont, the case for a national Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, and why she believes industry has a bigger role to play at the policymaking table than most people realize.Key Topics Discussed: Jackie's path from Navy veteran and community organizer to Virginia state legislatorThe origin story of her neighborhood "homework house" and how it led to public serviceReflections on See Change Sessions in Vermont and why the event felt different from a typical industry conferenceHow packaging and sustainability professionals can build real relationships with state legislatorsCalifornia's SB 54 and the challenges of getting states aligned on Extended Producer ResponsibilityWhy Jackie sees packaging waste as a design and systems issue, not a moral oneJackie's "6 Cs" framework for guiding her legislative focus (creative, circular, coastal resilience, crime aversion, care, and cyber)CitizenU, Jackie's summer civic education program and policy pitch contest for constituents of all agesThe realities of serving as a citizen legislator in Virginia's part-time General AssemblyChapters: 00:00 Introduction to Delegate Jackie Glass02:14 Journey to Politics: From Community Service to Delegate04:31 The Impact of C-Change: A Unique Policymaking Experience08:54 Bridging the Gap: Industry and Politics Collaboration11:19 The Six Cs: Guiding Principles for Policy13:34 CitizenU: Empowering Citizens Through Education15:55 Legislative Projects: Making a Difference in Virginia19:39 Extended Producer Responsibility: A National Perspective23:06 The Urgency of Environmental Action26:06 SSP intro animation v1.mp4Resources Mentioned:Delegate Jackie Hope Glass, Virginia House of Delegates, 93rd DistrictSee Change Sessions, Burlington, VermontPackaging Matters at See Change SessionsContact:Listeners interested in connecting with Delegate Glass's office about legislation, community programs, or CitizenU can reach out through her official Virginia House of Delegates page.Support our Sponsors:3M https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/packaging-shipping-fulfillment-us/applications/sealing-recycled-corrugate/ Specright: https://www.specright.com/ Forest: https://www.forest-pkg.com/https://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

Greg Roeder breaks down how he turned a pickle-ball league and community events into a steady stream of high-end, referral-only business. He explains the “invisible agent” problem and shares his 3M framework: mobilize your people, make content for your dream clients, and multiply your impact through systems and support. Greg walks through how he uses niche-specific newsletters, short-form video, and authentic signature events to become the obvious choice for $1M+ buyers and sellers. Greg also reveals how redefining success beyond being “on” 24/7 helped him scale from $12M to $40M in volume without sacrificing his personal life. “Join the launch list and grab the digital version of Getting to a Million for $1″ when it’s released on September 29th!

Are you prepared for the complexities of a high-value retirement? In this episode of Allworth's Money Matters, Scott and Pat break down real-world case studies for a $3M+ retirement, specifically focusing on the math behind long-term care, the tax implications of early inheritances, and a powerful framework for tax efficiency known as the "3 C's." In this episode, Scott and Pat discuss: The Long-Term Care Dilemma: They analyze a $3.7M case study where the caller is retiring abroad. Does she actually need long-term care insurance, or can she "self-insure"? Scott and Pat explain the "elimination period" strategy that could save thousands in premiums. Managing Early Inheritances: Using a $3.3M case study, Scott and Pat explore the pros and cons of buying a home for your children. They discuss how to manage early inheritances without creating family "real estate wars" or triggering unnecessary IRA taxes. The "3 C's" Strategy: Allworth partner advisor Ben Abraham joins the show to reveal a strategy for maximizing tax efficiency by balancing stock concentration and charitable giving to fuel massive Roth Conversions.   Join Money Matters:  Get your most pressing financial questions answered by Allworth's co-founders Scott Hanson and Pat McClain.
