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.

It's kevin27wrld back with another absolute banger of an episode, and we have a packed lineup today. Grab your drinks, get comfortable, and let's jump straight into everything popping off in pop culture and the MCU right now.​Avengers: Endgame “Encore” Trailer DropsMarvel Studios just dropped the trailer for Avengers: Endgame - Encore, hyping up tickets going on sale for its theatrical re-release on September 25th. The trailer gives us all the nostalgia—the portals opening, Cap lifting Mjolnir, Tony's ultimate sacrifice—remastered for "Infinity Vision." But the big hook here? They're teasing 4 minutes of brand-new, never-before-seen footage. Marvel is officially framing this re-release as a crucial bridge linking the Infinity Saga directly to Avengers: Doomsday. You already know we're going to be dissecting every single frame on the show!​Spider-Man: Brand New Day Keeps Breaking RecordsThe web-slinger simply cannot be stopped. Spider-Man: Brand New Day just crossed a historic milestone, pulling in a wild $858.4 million at the domestic box office. 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

We got the guy to blame for all the chaos in the Wisconsin primary election in studio to defend why he chose not to run for governor. Attorney General Josh Kaul played along with the bit that his decision not to run caused multiple people to drop out of the Democratic primary, before David Crowley got back in and eked out a win over Francesca Hong. Kaul was also asked how many times he’s sued Donald Trump and, while his answer was alarming, the AG got into some of those lawsuit “wins,” (that hit home over PFAS and homelessness) along with explaining another high-profile fight over Elon Musk’s $1 million voter giveaways — and why La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke ended up taking the lead as special prosecutor on the case. Key Topics: Suing Trump & Local Impact: How federal lawsuit victories over funding freezes safeguard local projects, including housing dollars tied to La Crosse's Pathways Home initiative. The Elon Musk Lottery Case: Why the legal challenge over Musk's $1 million voter giveaways landed on the desk of La Crosse County DA Tim Gruenke as special prosecutor. PFAS & Industrial Contamination: Holding polluters like Tyco and 3M accountable in places like Marinette, and how local suits connect to the widespread cleanup on French Island. CDL Privacy & Tech Guardrails: State pushback against federal attempts to access truck driver data, local concerns over Flock license plate cameras, and the push for statewide data center standards. Following His Mom's Footsteps: Reflecting on the actual day-to-day scope of the Wisconsin DOJ and serving in the same AG role his mother held in the early 2000s.

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!

To demonstrate how the modern bankruptcy system often feels prepackaged and inevitable, Brown Rudnick's Robert Stark compares the current state of Chapter 11 to a trip to the local bureaucracy: “We could do everything that is being done now by setting up bankruptcy at a DMV, go cut your deal in the back room, bring your $60 check, stand in line, and get a rubber stamp by the DMV.” Stark and Houlihan Lokey's Saul Burian join Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Negisa Balluku and Phil Brendel to explore the increasing friction in today's bankruptcy courts, including the consequences of judge-led mediation, the rise of aggressive DIP financing features like roll-ups and post-reorg equity packages, and the debate over the true neutrality of “independent” directors. The podcast concludes with a look at the restructuring outlook and a discussion about the surprising return of “dumb frauds” catching major Wall Street institutions off guard. Cases mentioned include First Brands Group, Multi-Color Corp., Del Monte, J&J, BlockFi, 3M and American Tire.

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!

Joshua Altman, founder of Beltway Media and former multimedia journalist at The Hill, joins Jeff Mains to unpack why "volume isn't a strategy" in PR and communications. Drawing on his experience seeing pitches from both the journalist's and strategist's side, Joshua explains why unsolicited press releases get ignored, how to target the right publications instead of chasing tier-one press, and why becoming "the signal, not the noise" matters more than shouting louder. The conversation dives deep into the fractional Chief Communications Officer (CCO) model, his Story-Narrative-Brand framework and Four Languages model (Read, See, Hear, Experience), how to measure something as intangible as trust, what makes a press release newsworthy, and how to build (and rehearse) a crisis communications plan before you ever need one.Key Takeaways4:41 — Unsolicited press releases have an open rate under 1%; solicited pitches (people who signed up for your list) get opened.5:20 — "Be the signal, not the noise": better targeting and relevance beat catchy subject lines.6:03 — Why front-page news is usually bad news, and why inside pages/push alerts are actually where you want to be.6:22 — Regional and trade publications (San Jose Business Journal, Austin Business Journal) often deliver better ROI than USA Today or the New York Times for 10–100 person, $2–25M companies.10:52 — Clients push back most on patience — results take 6+ months, not overnight.12:16 — The two things a fractional CCO focuses on: shaping perception and building/maintaining trust.13:14 — How to actually measure trust: ask "Would you refer us?" instead of "Do you trust us?", and analyze the tone of support complaints.14:58 — Buyers now need 30+ touchpoints to convert (up from the old 7–14), and most of those touchpoints get zero attribution credit.18:10 — What a CCO owns that a CMO doesn't: internal comms, investor relations, crisis comms — the "conductor" of the whole orchestra.27:05 — The Story-Narrative-Brand framework: story is what you tell friends at a bar, narrative connects the dots and gives the "why," brand is every touchpoint.28:52 — The Four Languages model: Read, See, Hear, Experience — and why founders should build all four from day one.31:26 — Why "Joe Smith is joining our board" isn't news, but "Elon Musk is joining our board" is — most founders overestimate what counts as newsworthy.35:00 — The ER wait-time app example: turning a feature ("we tell you wait times") into a story ("we've saved lives") by giving it a human frame.39:06 — Build your crisis communications plan like a fire drill — practice it quarterly, and always loop in lawyers and your insurance company from the start.42:02 — "It's not the crime, it's the cover-up" — say something fast, then use strategic silence only after your initial statement.45:40 — The question every founder should ask: "Are we building trust, or are we eroding it?"Tweetable Quotes"Be the signal, not the noise.""There's a reason they say, 'If it bleeds, it leads' — you don't want to be on the front page.""Every buying decision comes back to trust. No matter what business you're in, it comes back to trust.""It's not the crime, it's the cover-up.""Are we building trust? And follow that up with, are we eroding trust?""You could be putting out a lot of ads, but if you're spamming people, you're unintentionally eroding the trust you think you're building.""Story is what you tell your friends at the bar. Narrative connects the dots. Brand is every touchpoint people interact with."SaaS Leadership LessonsVolume isn't strategy. More press releases and louder shouting don't build trust — being worth paying attention to does.Target precision beats reach. A niche trade or regional publication read by your actual buyers often outperforms a national outlet.Measure trust indirectly. Use referral likelihood and complaint tone as proxies since trust can't be measured like an ad click.Build communications infrastructure early. Start with even 5 hours/month of fractional CCO support before you're at $3M+ revenue playing catch-up on your narrative.Every announcement needs a "why." A product update isn't news; connecting it to a larger story (industry trend, human impact) is what earns coverage.Plan your crisis response before you need it. Involve legal and insurance from day one, rehearse regularly, and always say something quickly rather than going silent.Guest ResourcesJoshua@beltway.mediabeltway.mediahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuaialtman https://www.instagram.com/thecommschief/https://x.com/thecommschiefEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

He helped grow MHI from $3M to $17M in four years before selling the company.So I sat down with Jon Broce and asked a simple question:Looking back, what would you do differently?His answer turned into a great conversation about the mistakes that slow growth, cause chaos, and reduce profitability.Watch this new video to discover:How Jon worked backwards from production capacity instead of asking, “How much can we sell?”The simple “dollars per day” calculation that helped them decide which services to cut.Why having the right playbook isn't enough... and what actually separates roofing companies that execute from those that stay stuck.If you're trying to build a simpler, more profitable roofing company without reinventing the wheel, I think you'll get a lot out of this one.P.S.

The New York Times reports that his office has been harassing the family of Justice Juan Merchan, who presided over Trump's false business records case in Manhattan. Merchan's daughter worked for a political firm in Illinois, and so Boutros decided he would use this as a lever to try to shake loose all kinds of political communications.

We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.A $3 billion founder's money advice: keep driving the Chevrolet. Here's why the richest guests all say the same five things.After 100+ episodes of Moneywise, the same five spending refusals kept showing up — from a $3B founder who's never sold a company, a guy who lost 95% of his net worth and won't buy his own socks, and Bryan Johnson, who spends $2M a year on his body and almost nothing on anything else. None of them read the research. There's 50 years of it, and they all landed in the same place anyway.This episode covers all five: first class, new cars, meaningless stuff, angel checks, and kids' comfort — plus the study behind each one (lottery winners, the MIT Celtics auction, the marshmallow test follow-up). Then Anne Mahlum, who sold SolidCore for nearly $100M and forces herself to spend $200K/month, tears the whole list apart. The episode ends with a 10-minute exercise using two questions that decide what stays on your card statement.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public."

What if carbon dioxide could offer beekeepers another way to control Varroa mites? In this episode, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman talk with award-winning high school researcher Aakash Manaswi, whose multi-year research project investigates using carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a treatment against Varroa mites. Aakash traces his interest in honey bees back to a childhood visit to an apiary, where a beekeeper explained how Varroa was affecting his colonies. That encounter eventually led Aakash to ask whether there might be another way to tackle the parasite. Aakash explains the development of his CO₂ treatment prototype—a hive-top device that distributes carbon dioxide throughout a colony. His research progressed from laboratory testing of different CO₂ concentrations to prototype development and field trials comparing the approach with existing treatments. He discusses the 30% CO₂ concentration used in his research, treatment timing, effects on phoretic mites, and some of the important limitations that still need to be investigated. The conversation also explores Aakash's AI-based system for counting Varroa mites on sticky boards, his work with mentors at 3M, USDA, and the University of Florida, and where he hopes to take the research next. Aakash's work earned first place in Animal Sciences at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair and the Peggy Scripps Award for Science Communication. Before the interview, Jeff and Becky answer a listener question about another emerging tool for beekeepers: artificial intelligence. They discuss where AI can be genuinely useful—and why beekeepers should still question its answers, check its sources, and remember that sometimes the best answer in beekeeping remains, "It depends."

In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Crystal Bayliss, Executive Director of the U.S. Plastics Pact, to unpack a pivotal year for the organization. Crystal shares how a sustainability sign on an office water cooler sparked her personal journey from food and ingredient procurement into packaging sustainability, and how that path led her to the Pact — first as a member representative, then as a program manager, and eventually to the organization's top leadership role. Cory and Crystal dig into the departure of major member companies ahead of the 2025 targets, why the original goals were always meant to be a "blank sheet of paper" starting point, and what comes next as the Pact rolls out new, more flexible ways for companies to engage. The conversation also covers the recent leadership transition at the Pact, the case for voluntary industry action paving the way for smart regulation, and the newly released Film & Flex Circularity framework tackling one of packaging's most contentious materials.Key Topics Discussed:Crystal's path from procurement into plastics sustainability and up through the U.S. Plastics PactWhy major brands (Walmart, Mars, Mondelez, Nestlé) stepped back from the Pact ahead of the 2025 deadlineThe reality behind the 2025 targets: only ~50% of packaging reusable/recyclable/compostable and 11% recycled/bio-based content achieved, against 100% and 30% goalsNew, more flexible engagement tiers coming soon for Pact members with narrower packaging portfoliosThe recent CEO transition and Crystal's move from Director of Strategy & Engagement to Interim CEO to Executive DirectorVoluntary industry action vs. mandatory regulation, and how the Food Safety Modernization Act offers a precedentCalifornia's SB 54 and the Pact's role advising policymakersThe new "Journey to Film & Flex Circularity" framework and the unique challenges of flexible film packagingAtlantic Packaging's circular stretch film recycling system in North CarolinaWhat gives Crystal hope for the future of sustainable packaging amid regulatory uncertaintyResources Mentioned:U.S. Plastics PactJourney to Film & Flex Circularity: A Framework of Necessary Design, Collection, and End Market LeversCalifornia SB 54, Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility ActFDA Food Safety Modernization ActEllen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy InitiativeContact:Listeners interested in learning more about the U.S. Plastics Pact or its upcoming membership options can visit usplasticspact.org.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/Thank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!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!

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."

The business includes prepared foods, sandwiches, charcuterie offerings, and a long-established reputation dating back to 1925, with the seller offering financing as part of the deal.What initially appears to be a straightforward specialty food acquisition quickly turns into a mystery. The listing contains conflicting details about the facilities, mentions a "home-based" operation despite having a retail presence, and leaves major questions unanswered about multiple locations, revenue allocation, and the role of its gift basket and catering operations. The hosts discuss why poor presentation can scare away buyers—even when the underlying business may be stronger than it appears.The conversation expands into restaurant economics, succession planning, seller financing, and the challenge of buying legacy businesses with thin margins. While everyone agrees the brand carries real value, they debate whether a buyer could successfully expand it through packaged consumer products, franchising, or additional locations—or whether this is simply a demanding retail operation with limited upside.Key Highlights- 100-year-old Washington, D.C. specialty food business listed for $950K with $205K EBITDA on $3.3M revenue- Seller is willing to provide financing, suggesting flexibility but also shifting post-close risk- Confusing listing raises major diligence questions about locations, facilities, and operating structure- Hosts discuss leveraging a historic local brand into packaged consumer products or multi-location growth- Great example of how a poorly written listing can hide a potentially interesting acquisition opportunitySubscribe 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?

Kevin joins David Phelps to explain why a $5-6M balance sheet can mean less security than a well-planned $3M, why "sequence of returns" can make or break retirement, and the one candid truth he admits doctors get wrong in their own lives — even as they master caring for everyone else's.

What can 101 years of life teach us about faith, resilience, service, and staying positive? Jeff Gould, America's Storyteller, sits down with 101-year-old Bill Kruschel for an unforgettable conversation spanning nearly a century of American history. Born in 1925, Bill grew up during the Great Depression, worked on a farm without running water or electricity, and served as a Navy corpsman attached to the 1st Marine Division during World War II. He remembers Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, the end of the war, and returning home to begin an extraordinary life and career. With only 11 grades of formal schooling, Bill went on to spend 37 years at 3M, working in mechanical engineering during the rise of magnetic tape, computers, and floppy disks. He also devoted years to the Boy Scouts of America and advocating for children with special needs. At 101, Bill still rides his electric tricycle, sings every week, and approaches life with remarkable faith, gratitude, humor, and optimism. And stay to the end—Bill's rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” is something special.

Alyssa Rosenheck was one of the only Jewish kids in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when a classmate stood up in class, pointed at her, and said, "The Jew took it." She pushed the girl down. Her dad's response: "My daughter has my permission to deck anyone who offends her family or faith."  That courage runs hrough everything that followed: a tennis scholarship, a decade in corporate medical sales, a thyroid cancer diagnosis that scared her into finally living, a camera she picked up to heal, and a divorce that hinged on one line from her husband she "can't unhear." After October 7th, Alyssa lost a book deal, got labeled part of a literary boycott, and co-founded Artists Against Antisemitism instead of going quiet. Her new book, White Blonde Jew, is what she wrote instead.   In this episode:   (02:00) Growing up one of the only Jews in Tulsa — and the classmate who pointed at her and said, "The Jew took it" (08:55) Chasing financial security after an unstable, alcoholic childhood — tennis scholarship to 3M to spine sales (11:15) The thyroid cancer scare that became her first real "life pivot" (13:33) Picking up a camera as therapy — and building a 14-year photography career from it (15:55) Her advice for anyone raised by an alcoholic parent (18:15) The marriage, and the line from her husband she "can't unhear": "He did not want to have Jewish children" (22:43) The New Southern — accidentally writing the most inclusive design book in the industry (24:45) Her 2021 "light bulb moment" on Israel, BDS, and October 7th (27:00) Losing a book deal 10 days into speaking out — and co-founding Artists Against Antisemitism (29:08) Fighting BDS resolutions in Nashville (31:26) Inside White Blonde Jew — out August 18 (40:15) The Kashariyot, and why being underestimated is a weapon  Quotes "I really allowed my haters to title the book. If it offends you, great, I wrote it for you. And if it doesn't, and you feel seen by it, I also wrote it for you." "Cancer gave me so much more than it took away." "When you get pushed down, you have to double down in the very thing that they don't want you to do." "It was a little bit like digital Ozempic." — on losing friends and followers after speaking out "My skin color would not have insulated me or protected me on October seventh, nor would it have protected me against the Nazis." "This project serves as historical insurance." "You can't create when you're stressed. You can't create when you're in chaos. You can't create when you're in fear."

This Day in Legal History: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Joins the CourtOn August 10, 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, becoming the second woman—and the first Jewish woman—ever to serve on it. She had been confirmed by the Senate just a week earlier by a lopsided 96 to 3, a margin that is almost unimaginable for a Supreme Court nominee today, and she took the seat vacated by the retiring Justice Byron White.Ginsburg reached the Court after one of the most consequential legal careers of the twentieth century—much of it spent, as a litigator, dismantling sex discrimination brick by brick. In the 1970s, as head of the ACLU's Women's Rights Project, she argued a series of cases before the very Court she would later join, persuading an all-male bench to recognize that treating men and women differently under the law often rested on nothing but stereotype. She was strategic and incremental, sometimes choosing male plaintiffs to show that gender lines cut both ways. On the Court, she became known for landmark majority opinions like United States v. Virginia, striking down the male-only admissions policy at the Virginia Military Institute, and, later, for pointed dissents that made her an unlikely cultural icon.The significance of August 10, 1993 is a fitting frame for today's news, because it raises a question the Court is wrestling with right now: when justices come and when they go. Ginsburg famously declined to retire during President Obama's second term, confident she could outlast the political moment; when she died in September 2020, President Trump filled her seat, shifting the Court's balance for a generation. That episode turned “strategic retirement” from an academic debate into a live and painful one—and it's the exact debate hanging over our second story today. Ginsburg's life is a reminder both of how much a single justice can shape the law, and of how fraught the timing of a lifetime appointment has become.The Senate has confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general, ending one of the most bruising cabinet fights of Trump's second term with a razor-thin 50-49 vote taken overnight on Saturday. We've followed this saga from the beginning—the tense confirmation hearing, the stalled committee vote, the eleventh-hour deal to rescind the anti-weaponization fund—and this is where it lands. Two Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, broke ranks and voted no, citing concerns ranging from the Epstein files to that $1.8 billion fund; Senator Bill Cassidy provided the decisive vote, saying Blanche was the best option the president was likely to offer. Blanche, you'll recall, was Trump's personal criminal defense lawyer before joining the Justice Department, and that's the heart of why this was so contested: the concern that the nation's top law-enforcement officer would serve the president personally rather than the law. The significance is twofold. First, the margin itself—a single vote, with defections from the president's own party—signals just how uneasy even some Republicans were about Blanche's independence. Second, remember what it took to get here: Blanche had to formally dismantle a controversial initiative to win confirmation. But as Democrats pointed out, that was an executive-branch promise, not a law, and the same executive branch can revisit it. So Blanche takes office as attorney general having made a concession whose durability is genuinely uncertain—confirmed, but on the narrowest possible terms and with the questions about his independence very much unresolved. Senate Republicans narrowly confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general | ReutersNPR · Washington PostJustice Samuel Alito has put an end to a summer of retirement speculation, confirming that he intends to stay on the Supreme Court. “Obviously, I'm here for another term,” the 76-year-old justice said in an interview published in the Wall Street Journal's editorial pages. The speculation had reached a fever pitch back in June, when a veteran Supreme Court reporter's pre-written retirement story was published by mistake and then quickly retracted—but the talk never fully died down. What makes Alito's statement legally and politically interesting is what he pushed back on. He explicitly rejected the suggestion that he should time his retirement strategically—stepping down now, while President Trump is in office and Republicans control the Senate, so that a younger conservative could be confirmed to replace him and hold the seat for decades. And that is exactly where today's Ginsburg anniversary comes crashing in. Justice Ginsburg made the opposite bet: she declined calls to retire while President Obama could name her successor, and when she died in 2020, a president of the opposite party filled her seat and reshaped the Court. That history is precisely why so many now urge aging justices to retire strategically. Alito is declining to play that game—at least publicly. The significance is that this keeps a reliably conservative vote on the Court for now, but it also spotlights an uncomfortable feature of our system: lifetime tenure means the timing of a single retirement can shape constitutional law for a generation, and we increasingly expect justices to make that intensely personal decision with one eye on the electoral calendar. Justice Alito says he is staying on Supreme Court for another term | ReutersABC News · FortuneAnd finally, a federal judge has approved more than $2.5 billion in settlements that New Jersey reached with DuPont, Chemours, Corteva, and 3M to resolve claims over contamination from PFAS—the “forever chemicals” that have become one of the biggest environmental-liability stories of the decade. Chief U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb signed off on Friday, ending a legal battle that began back in 2019. A quick primer: PFAS are a family of synthetic chemicals used in everything from nonstick coatings to firefighting foam, and they're called “forever chemicals” because they essentially don't break down in the environment or the human body, and they've been linked to serious health harms. New Jersey sued under a natural-resource-damages theory—the idea that these companies polluted the state's shared resources, its water and land, and must pay to restore them. The numbers are substantial: DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva will pay $875 million over 25 years, clean up four former industrial sites, and fund a $1.2 billion remediation account; 3M will pay up to $450 million. The judge called the deal “fair, reasonable and adequate” and even an “impressive windfall” given the risks of taking such a case to trial. The significance is that this is one of the largest state PFAS recoveries yet, and it fits the mass-tort pattern we've watched all summer—from talc to Roundup—where companies, facing enormous litigation exposure, choose certainty over trial. But this one has an environmental twist: beyond the money, it forces the actual cleanup of contaminated sites, and it gives every other state attorney general eyeing PFAS litigation a $2.5 billion data point to bring to their own negotiating table.

A writer's room where creators cross-edit each other's scripts. Hair, makeup, and wardrobe walkthroughs before anyone hits record. This is what organic content looks like at Kiyoko Beauty (kiyoko.ca), the curated Asian beauty retailer that hit 8 figures in 5 years, bootstrapped, while all three co-founders kept their full-time jobs.Gillian Liu walks through the whole machine, from a part-time student's 3M-view TikTok to a production calendar planned a month out.If you run content, growth, or a retail business on thin margins, this episode is worth a notebook.What's inside:The full production process: concepts and formats planned a month ahead, scripting against a reference hook library, a writer's room because "sometimes you're in it too much by yourself," script read-throughs with talent, then batch shoot days. "It's not vibes at all."Her comparison for why the pros post consistently: comedians who have joke-writing down to a science.The hiring filter for content roles: "What's your screen time? Show me." Her most recent hire clocks 8 hours a day. Gillian's reaction: "That's it?"Where it started: a student with 1,000 followers, found via Instagram DM, told to post three times a week with no direction. Three months in, one video hit 3M views on a niche product only Kiyoko carried, and site sessions 10x'd overnight.Platform roles: TikTok reaches strangers, Instagram converts them through stories and community, YouTube Shorts reposts overperform, and Red Note gets Gillian recognized on the street by the Chinese Canadian community.The math forcing all of this: retailer margins. A Meta top-of-funnel ad runs ~$10 CPM; organic works out to under a dollar. Paid has been bottom-of-funnel Google only for five years.The curation model itself: pay brand premium on COGS, then harvest demand created by other people's marketing budgets.Merchandising by data: Amazon US/Canada volume, Korea's top sellers, brand heads-ups on strategic SKUs, and Shopify's "search queries with no results" report.Brands as partners: one runs a 50/50 ad split with Kiyoko, others commission content monthly and pay in inventory value.The early jank: a $2,000 first order, a free Shopify theme, shipping from a co-founder's basement, and buying out-of-stock items from the Asian grocery store down the street.Why three co-founders kept their 9 to 5s (cash flow first, risk second), plus two warehouse moves in five months and the new California fulfillment center.Who this is for: content leads and founders doing organic at scale, and any operator whose margins can't support paid top of funnel.What to steal: her writer's room.

Key TakeawaysCommercial underwriting is conceptually simple but operationally complex with spreadsheets. Residential back-of-the-napkin math doesn't translate well to commercial deals because you must track many variables (NOI, cap rate, DSCR, loan terms, rent escalations, etc.). Traditional Excel models work but are error‑prone, formula‑heavy, and intimidating for most new investors.The new analyzer software replaces complex spreadsheets with guided, structured workflows. Instead of hunting through cells and formulas, users upload the offering memorandum, let AI pull in key deal data (price, NOI, cap rate, lease term, rent, square footage), and then move through clearly labeled tabs that walk them step by step through assumptions and scenarios.A real industrial deal example shows that “easy to analyze” is not the same as “a good deal.” Tyler underwrites a $2.3M industrial, absolute net lease in Tupelo in under 10 minutes. Even with different down payment levels, rent assumptions, and price negotiations, the deal struggles due to high purchase cap rate vs. exit cap rate, limited growth, and weak equity multiple. The tool makes it fast to see that a stabilized, low‑yield asset often won't hit aggressive return targets.The software teaches users how to ‘read' a deal, not just calculate outputs. The interface explains metrics (e.g., NOI, expense ratio, DSCR) and shows where numbers come from. It models lease structures (triple net vs. absolute net), rent bumps, vacancy, operating expenses, reserves, and exit assumptions so students learn how each lever affects cash flow and overall returns.Tax strategy and capital structure are integral to evaluating returns. The tool includes cost segregation modeling to estimate year‑one tax deductions and potential savings, plus structures for ownership, GP/LP splits, waterfalls, and preferred returns. Tyler notes that many investors justify lower nominal returns on stabilized NNN deals when factoring in tax benefits and hands‑off management.Integrated tools streamline the entire acquisitions workflow. Beyond the analyzer, the software includes a deal desk (pipeline management from lead to closing) and a cost estimator that adjusts renovation budgets by city and scope. This lets users quickly estimate renovation costs, attach them to deals, and track all documents, tasks, dates, and notes in one place.Core mindset shift: underwriting speed and clarity unlock more deal flow and better decisions. By making underwriting faster, more visual, and less spreadsheet‑dependent, more members in Tyler's mastermind are submitting and evaluating deals. The emphasis is on quickly determining whether a deal is worth deeper pursuit, rather than getting bogged down in technical modeling.

On August 4, Brian Szytel recaps a massive cross-asset rally as markets price hopes of a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz: oil fell 6% to $75, the 10-year yield dropped 7 bps to 4.61%, and stocks and bonds rose (Dow +907, S&P +1.8%, Nasdaq +2.6% led by semis/AI). He notes the market has become desensitized to Middle East risk and remains skewed upward with major indexes up 12.5%–14% YTD, but highlights unusually violent, bifurcated single-stock moves around earnings as investors struggle to discount AI impacts amid accounting and borrowing stresses. He warns leverage amplifies drawdowns, citing July deleveraging and a 4:1-levered AI hedge fund collapsing after a 67% drawdown. Economic data: job openings 7.3M (in line/slightly low), factory orders -0.3% vs +0.3% expected, trade deficit $73.3B. He answers a viewer question on inflation, explaining the Fed can influence money supply via its balance sheet but can't directly control velocity, relying on multiple tools including interest on reserves, and references efforts to shift narratives back toward market-set pricing. 00:00 Market Rally Recap 00:16 Oil Rates And Geopolitics 01:50 Year To Date Performance 02:10 Wild Stock Reactions 02:56 AI Accounting And Volatility 03:33 Leverage And Hedge Funds 04:41 Economic Data Check 05:26 Fed Money Supply Question 05:57 How The Fed Tools Work 07:47 Wrap Up And Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

In this episode, Neil breaks down a distinction most practice owners have never heard: PR, marketing, and sales are three different things, and they work like a pyramid. PR is the foundation, your reviews, your reputation, what people say about you when you're not in the room. Marketing sits in the middle, your ads, your website, your direct mail. Sales is the tip, and it starts at your front desk, not just with your therapists.In this episode:Why marketing is the first step in financial planning, not an afterthought. The three-part pyramid: PR, marketing, and sales, and why most owners only focus on the top. Why is the front desk one of the most critical hires in your practice? What separates a marketing coordinator from a marketing director, and when to hire one. Why does your website need a full rebuild every three years? How Google Jobs is quietly becoming a recruiting tool most owners don't know exists. The Grow, Hire, Profit framework for scaling past $1M, $3M, and $10M. Where AI fits into modern practice marketing, and where it doesn't.Will calls this one of the most transformative conversations of the entire CSM. By the end, you'll understand why.About Neil Trickett: Founder of Practice Promotions, working with PT, OT, and speech practices ranging from solo clinics to 200+ location organizations.

You didn't get cut from that real estate listing appointment objections conversation because you lack experience. You got cut because you froze on the response.Here's the part nobody talks about: when a seller looks at you and says "I want someone with more experience in this price range," that's not really about your résumé. It's a real estate agent objection handling 2026 gap, and it's fixable. I lived through this exact moment on my way from a $2.5M average sale price to $2.8M, then $3.3M, and I stopped treating it like a threat and started treating it like something to engineer.In this one I'm handing you the same luxury real estate listing scripts and real estate objection handling script 2026 I use to answer that objection before the seller even finishes the sentence, plus the bigger shift that actually gets agents invited into higher-priced conversations in the first place.✅ The word-for-word script I use to handle seller objections real estate agents run into most at higher-priced listing appointments✅ What to say when a seller says wants more experienced agent and you're standing in that room with nothing prepared✅ How to build a proof folder that answers the objection with evidence instead of confidence alone✅ A direct look at how to overcome experience objection real estate sellers bring up without sounding rattled or defensive✅ The real answer behind how to sell higher priced homes using proof instead of promises✅ Why how to get luxury listings has almost nothing to do with your years in the business✅ A clear, repeatable path on how to break into higher price point listings even if this is your first oneThis is the same sequence that took me from $2.5M to $3.3M average sale price and put a $5M listing under contract. If you keep losing real estate listing appointment objections before you even get to present, save this and run the script on your next appointment.
