I met him at Kevin King's, $1 Billion Seller summit, and he's going to have a lot of knowledge to share with us. I'm going to dive in like immediately to what was mentioned in your bio. You had your account suspended. You had you ran into 400 K of debt and loans, but you've kind of come out the other end and you're you're crushing it right now on Amazon. So tell me, Brad, what happened with the account suspension?Brad 00:00:33  So I, I was doing, retail arbitrage and I got, I got really into it. it it was actually kind of unique. It started off, where I was, I, I was really into eBay growing up, so I was always selling stuff, just like as a kid throughout the house, whether it was mine or not. I was grabbing, like, antiques from the basement and, like, selling stuff out of the garage. And I think that's where I got kind of, you know, introduced to e-commerce and kind of obsessed so that that kind of was always on the side.Brad 00:01:11  And I was doing that through grade school, high school, and then into college. And I learned about Amazon FBA and I think 2012. and as an eBay guy, it was like blew me away because I was, you know, the guy waiting in line at the, at the post office and having to deal with customers. So the fact that you could just send a bunch of items in and Amazon will ship it and take care of customer service was very appealing to me. So I started, I just started watching videos and the easiest way to start, which I don't know how many people really started out like this, but I'm sure some. But I was going into, you know, odd lots and Walmarts and just buying toys or whatever I could find. And essentially I was just kind of learning that process. so, you know, that was a good way to, like, get my feet wet into Amazon FBA. and then, you know, life kind of happened where that was put off to the side.Brad 00:02:19  I was in the corporate world for a while. not doing very well. I just, was not very passionate about what I was doing, and, I got a call from a buddy. I was living in South Florida. I'm from Ohio originally, and, I got fired from one job. You know, I was working for good companies. They were, like, fortune 500 companies. And I kind of noticed right away that the people that were successful were extremely passionate about the company, and they had just drank the Kool-Aid. And I just did. I just didn't care, really. I thought our products were overpriced, which is not the mentality that you want to have when you're trying to sell something. so I was just kind of, just doing enough not to get fired. And my friend, in Columbus had called me and said, hey, I just bought this epoxy coating company. So what we're doing is we're installing, like, showroom floors in garages. You know, the the garages in Columbus or the Midwest are all cracked and spoiled.Brad 00:03:34  so, you know, this was December and he was like, hey, I can't pay you that much, but, you know, this will be our company. and I'll share profits with you. So I wasn't really doing much. You know, in terms of growing personally or professionally, although I was in South Florida, which was pretty cool for for an Ohio guy. Sure. I took him up on it, and I remember it was December. I go from this cushy sales job in South Florida. Even though I didn't like it. And then all of a sudden, I am installing, garage floors in the suburbs of Columbus. In December, we're using, like, heaters to keep ourselves warm. And the funny thing was, I actually was enjoying it more, because it was ours. So that kind of, like, turned on the light that, you know, the way that I'm going to be successful is if I'm doing something for myself, like, or as a team. And that kind of drew me back to this e-commerce stuff.Brad 00:04:36  and like I was saying, I had learned about, the Amazon FBA and I had a this background in eBay. So I just kind of I remember in one of your podcasts, you were talking about how after work, you would go home and just watch videos. yeah. Because you, you know, you kind of saw that as a way out. But, you know, what you have to do is you have to put in the time. You know, even after a long day of work when most people are just watching TV or they want to decompress. I was just drawn to just scanning eBay, you know, looking at Amazon. And I was like, I was wondering if there was an opportunity for products that I could buy on eBay and flip on Amazon. And I kind of just somehow stumbled upon this, category of high end skincare. And I was noticing that there was these really, like, high end brands that were selling for, you know, almost nothing on eBay because, li...

This week we're doing something a little different, and honestly — something really special. For the first time ever, the original team behind my Chevelle build all sat down together to revisit the journey from 2011–2013. This wasn't a “sponsored” build or a corporate project. It was a leap of faith between friends who believed we could pull off something big long before we knew how. We started in basements and small shops, fought rust, deadlines, wiring headaches, and fatigue — and somehow ended up rolling into SEMA together. In this episode you'll hear Jeff Allison, Danny Giustino, Zip Simons, Kirk Hansen, and producer Bernie all share their side of the story — the wins, the failures, the sleepless nights, the road trips, and the moments we'll never forget. If you've ever dreamed of doing something way beyond your comfort zone, this one is for you. It's a reminder that passion + good people can move mountains…and cars. The post TMCP #634: The Ultimate Reunion // How 6 People Who Never Met Built a $400K Chevelle for SEMA on Friendship, Grit, and Faith! first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

Divorce is already brutal. But when the money is handled wrong, it stops being “emotional pain” and turns into “your future just got cut in half.” In today's 12 Days of Giving episode, Jamie Lima is back—and we walk through a real case where a woman was about to sign a settlement that would have effectively given away $300K–$400K she didn't need to lose and forced her to sell the home she desperately wanted to keep for her and her special needs daughter. Jamie breaks down how this client—Mary—came to him at the tail end of her divorce. Attorney in place. Settlement basically done. Everyone “felt” like it was fair. But the numbers didn't smell right. Once Jamie dug into the pension valuation, the 401(k), the house, and the way the QDRO was being handled, it became clear: the math was wrong, the tax advice was off, and she was about to pay the price for other people's blind spots.We get into the uncomfortable truth: most divorce attorneys are not money people. They're experts in law, not in pensions, actuarial tables, tax rules, or QDROs. Yet millions of people just nod along and sign whatever's in front of them—because they're exhausted, emotional, and just want it to be over. That's exactly how life-changing mistakes get locked in for the next 20–30 years.You'll hear how a simple 30-day “divorce clarity” review turned a $2,000 investment into a $400,000 problem avoided, allowed Mary to keep her house, protect her daughter's future, and avoid an unnecessary tax hit that her original advice would have triggered. This isn't theory. This is what it looks like when someone who actually understands the numbers steps into the process.If you're going through a divorce—or you know someone who is—this episode is your wake-up call. Get a second opinion. Stop letting emotions and fatigue make permanent financial decisions. And stop pretending your attorney is your financial planner.

In this episode of the Growing Pains series, I walk you through what happens when your consulting business reaches this stage, where scalable operations, stronger systems, and early full-time hiring become essential. You'll hear the stories of two fictional consultants, Riley and Jean, who both begin this phase in the low four hundreds but experience very different outcomes. Their experiences illustrate why some consultants get stuck here and what helps others move forward with clarity and stability. What I share on the podcast is a just a tip of the iceberg of what my clients get access to! Better Together!

In this RISE Files session, I take you behind the scenes of how I went from $9K months to $50K–$60K cash months and locked in $400K+ of recurring revenue for 2026 — not through journaling, affirmations, or “being the energy”… but through capacity work most coaches never teach. I share the identity mechanics and decision-making that actually collapsed time for me:• why “be, do, have” kept me stuck for years,• what capacity really means (hint: it's not holding more — it's dropping emotional weight fast),• how I built speed, neutrality, and self-trust while navigating motherhood, money fear, identity loss, and inconsistency,• the $50K investment that was 75% of my monthly income and why I made it anyway,• and how I repeatedly blew past my nervous system ceiling to normalize numbers I never could've imagined a year earlier. I'm walking you through the exact behind-the-veil decisions, ruptures, and recalibrations that allowed my business to explode — not because I felt ready or regulated, but because I acted before I ever became the woman who could hold it.If you're done flirting with your vision and you're ready to actually become the version of you who scales ... this one is it.Get into our private Q1 immersion:3 months. $333/mo or $1000 pay-in-full.A space that's not open to the public yet, only to RISE Files attendees & podcast listeners.

If your revenue has stalled despite strong demand, this playbook shows how numbers, systems, and leadership, not bigger ad spend, restart explosive growth. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Karl Maier, Founder of Abunden, an experienced CEO and business advisor who has played a key role in doubling sales at 5 companies in just 2 years. In this conversation, Maier explains how installing a 13-week cash forecast, building repeatable operating systems, and developing leaders unlock capacity so growth sticks. He also shares his Abundant Framework, insights from his book Surfing Economic Chaos, and what actually changes when you scale from $10M to $100M. Key Takeaways: → Why growth stalls after early success, and how shifting from heroics to repeatable systems and delegation restarts momentum. → The 13-week cash flow cadence: a simple weekly forecast that prevents surprises and fuels confident decisions. → When marketing isn't the first lever: fix finance, ops capacity, and delivery so sales gains don't break the machine. → “Every time you double, everything breaks”—what to upgrade (process, tools, roles) before pressing the gas. → The hardest part of $100M isn't spreadsheets, it's people, alignment, and leadership bench strength. Karl Maier is the founder of Abunden, where he helps CEOs transition from survival mode to achieving predictable, profitable growth. Specializing in energy-related companies, Karl turns financial blind spots into powerful growth engines, guiding both organic and acquisition-led expansion. He has extensive experience in private equity, family office roles, and capital raises, including supporting a $10M fracking water cleaning project and raising debt and equity for a $192 million EV private equity acquisition. Karl's expertise spans mergers and acquisitions (M&A), including buy-side support for international expansions and a $45 million B2B distribution company. He has also been instrumental in turnaround situations, such as guiding a healthcare services company to 40% growth and helping a coffee company pivot to hand sanitizer during COVID, generating $400K in just five months. With global CFO experience, Karl has led teams across Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia.

If your consulting business is between $200K and $400K, it may look successful from the outside but feel surprisingly unstable on the inside.  In this episode, I break down why Phase 2 is one of the most challenging stages of growth and why so many consultants feel stretched thin, busy, and at the edge of their capacity.  You will also learn what needs your focus in this phase so your business can become more predictable and less dependent on you. This episode will help you understand what is normal, what to expect, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

In April 2025, we bought a small 6-unit property for $400K, put $68K into CapEx, tightened operations, filled every unit, and had it under contract at $650K within five months. We were days away from closing. Buyers locked in. No renegotiation. Clean inspection. A true home run. And then… two days before closing… a 17-year-old driver crashed into one of our tenant's cars, launching it straight into our standalone studio apartment. The entire facade caved in. The tenant had to vacate. And the deal we had lined up fell apart instantly. In this episode, I walk you guys through everything that happened — the lender delays, the accident, the insurance process, the missed deadlines, the backup buyers that vanished, and the financial pressure we're now navigating. This is the real side of multifamily that nobody posts about. We talk about: – How the accident killed the sale – Why insurance and permits slowed everything down – The cash flow and holding-cost punch we're dealing with – The impact on our partners' liquidity – How time destroys IRR in a flip scenario – What we're doing next to stabilize, re-lease, and relist – Why operators earn their keep in moments like this If you're thinking about becoming a GP, or you already operate deals, this is a must-listen. This is the part of multifamily nobody glamorizes — and it's exactly why you need the right systems, the right expectations, and the right team. Want tools, templates, or to work with me?

Jack Savage, Founder & CEO of Everyday Dose, built a 400,000-subscriber functional coffee brand from his dad's garage—but not before spending years as "the dumb kid" who needed extra time on tests, wore a suit on planes hoping to meet someone important, and cycled through ADHD medications that left him with facial tics and shame. In this conversation, Jack opens up about the scarcity mindset he inherited from watching his father's business collapse, the $500K investment deal that fell through at the last second (leaving him in tears), and why discovering he had the CYP1A2 gene—which makes 50% of us caffeine-sensitive—changed everything about how he formulated Everyday Dose. He also gets real about the unglamorous parts of scaling: living in his dad's garage at 33, battling a massive counterfeit crisis that cost the company customers and reputation, getting rejected by VCs who made him question his worth, and learning that friendships (even in business) have to be earned, not assumed. Through it all, Jack kept returning to one framework: Dharma. Are you good at it? Are you passionate about it? Are you making an impact? Does it make you money? This conversation is about finding that alignment—and what happens when you finally do. Key Takeaways & Topics Jack's early experiences with ADHD, shame, and overcompensating through ambition Why taste and clinical dosing became Everyday Dose's differentiator Building supply chain and formulation knowledge from scratch Moving into his dad's garage and bootstrapping the first version of the brand VC rejection, self-worth, and learning to scale without outside validation The emotional toll and operational cost of battling large-scale counterfeit products How Jack defines dharma and why alignment is a founder's most reliable compass Retention as a strategy: treating existing customers better than new ones Why "you can do anything, but you can't do everything" His weekly retro practice with 35 team members: what's going well, what's not, what needs to change The hidden gene that affects 50% of us and why Jack built a coffee specifically for slow caffeine metabolizers The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

In this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by his producer Eric. Together, they break down some of the wildest viral success clips on the internet—from astrology-based basketball theories to Grant Cardone proclaiming you “can't live” on $400K a year—and explore the real lessons hiding underneath the noise. On this episode we talk about: Why absurd “success hacks” go viral, including the astrology clip about Michael Jordan The difference between motivation, marketing, and manipulation in the online guru world Whether Grant Cardone is right—or way off—when he says $400K isn't enough How polarizing personalities weaponize attention for growth What “thinking bigger” actually means (and what it doesn't) Top 3 Takeaways Viral guru content often succeeds because it's theatrical, not because it's true. Income numbers are meaningless without personal context—freedom math > flex math. You can embrace big thinking without adopting the extremes or gimmicks of online gurus. ✖️ ✖️ ✖️ ✖️

In this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, we begin with archery badass Antuan Yancy, who reveals how bows, arrows, and brotherhood build unbreakable men in a crumbling society.Then we go to Mark Levin, who just declared war on free speech inside MAGA: “If you reject Judaism, you reject America.” He's smearing anyone questioning Trump's Israel-first moves as anti-Semitic – even going nuclear on Tucker Carlson for daring to talk with Nick Fuentes. Levin snarls that your “stupid little podcast” won't change the world, but social media is EXPOSING the lies daily. Americans are waking up: marrying U.S. policy to Israel isn't “America First” anymore – it's corruption on steroids. The distrust is boiling over, and gatekeepers like Levin are torching the movement from within. Tonight we play the explosive clips and ask: why can you savage the USA but get canceled for criticizing Israel? This is the red pill the GOP doesn't want you to swallow.Meanwhile, the swamp is imploding in real time. Gavin Newsom's former Chief of Staff Dana Williamson was just perp-walked by the FBI on bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy charges – federal indictment in hand. Across the border in Arizona, Governor Katie Hobbs is literally sprinting from reporters as bombshell bribery and racketeering probes close in. Sunshine Residential Homes allegedly funneled $400K to Hobbs and AZ Dems for millions in state contracts. We've got the court docs, the dodge-and-weave video, and the tweets lighting up X. The same machine that called you “deplorable” is eating its own – and we're ringside with popcorn.

Mick Donaghy: How he built $1.4M from $7K (after his partnership collapsed) Mick Donaghy's mother died when he was in his twenties.Life's too short became his operating system.He left Ireland. Moved to New Zealand. Became a top-billing recruiter! A few years later, he got his shot at ownership. A partnership to launch an Australian business for the agency he worked. For many reasons, this partnership didn't work, so Mick paid back his business partner and walked away with $7,000 in his bank account.No business. No plan B.This time, he was doing it alone.GEDON was born - named after his Mum.Ultra-niche: quantity surveying and cost management. One discipline.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, everyone! The news is buzzing with President Trump's 50-year mortgage idea for housing affordability. While the media churns drama, on The Note Closers Show, we stick to numbers. And the numbers, ladies and gentlemen, never lie.We dug into this mortgage innovation with calculators (and a little AI!). Is a 50-year mortgage a brilliant strategy for real estate investors and first-time homebuyers, or an endless interest trap? Forget media drama; let's talk facts about interest rates, equity growth, and smart real estate investment in today's housing market, especially for Texas real estate.Here's what we uncovered in this episode:50-Year Mortgage: Lower Payments, Broader Access. We dissect payment differences across 15, 30, 40, & 50-year terms. Saving over $266/month on a $386K mortgage (at 6.25%) significantly boosts your debt-to-income ratio, opening homeownership doors to more.Flexibility is King: Strategic Wealth Building. The longer term offers financial flexibility. Use monthly savings (not just for takeout!) to aggressively tackle high-interest debt, invest for higher returns, or build emergency funds. This gives you control, empowering strategic real estate investment choices.Equity Growth: Appreciation Outpaces Interest. Debunking the "too much interest" myth: real estate appreciation is the true wealth builder. A $400K home, appreciating at 4% annually, can hit $526K in 7 years. Your equity grows faster than extra interest, proving property values are key, not fear-mongering.Renting vs. Owning: Build Wealth or "Not Own Sh!t." The rent-vs-buy debate continues. Renting seems cheaper, but 20 years of rent means missing massive home equity and wealth accumulation. Your home is your investment office; don't delay entry while property values soar.Strategic Homeownership: Get In, Grow, Recast. Your first home isn't forever. The strategy: enter an affordable property with a longer mortgage (e.g., in Austin, Texas). As income/market grow, refinance or recast. This leverages average 7-8 year homeowner moves, maximizing market advantage & avoiding mortgage debt pitfalls.This isn't endless payment; it's about getting in the game, building real estate wealth, and navigating life's curveballs. For real estate investors, homeowners, and anyone wanting informed decisions (math, not melodrama!), this episode is for you. Take action, buddy!

John Bunn recently launched his solo podcast "Shifting Focus" after years of co-hosting How to Film Weddings. Starting with over $400K in student debt, he's built a wedding business that now books $30K+ weddings and has his entire year's expenses covered by the first month. John shares the psychology behind premium pricing, why cash flow equals creative freedom, and how getting specific about your ideal client changes everything about your business. Key Takeaways When you don't need the money, you come across completely different in sales calls—clients can sense desperation vs. abundance Getting laser-focused on your ideal client (not just any client with money) is what allows you to charge premium rates Cash is oxygen for your business—sometimes picking up part-time work is the smartest move to take pressure off while you build Consistency in the right activities (not just any activities) is what creates long-term success in creative businesses About John Bunn John Bunn is a wedding industry educator and mentor who has dedicated his career to elevating professionals through practical, results-driven education. After starting his own wedding video business in 2007, Bunn went on to film and photograph over 550 weddings, gaining deep insights into what truly drives success in the industry. Since transitioning to education in 2018, Bunn has mentored and worked with tens of thousands of wedding professionals, focusing on what he calls "the things that nobody wants to talk about" — the fundamental business practices that create lasting success beyond fleeting trends. Bunn's approach is rooted in real-world experience and a belief that sustainable success comes from shifting focus to what actually matters. His passion for teaching stems from the countless success stories he's witnessed, from working mothers who've transitioned to full-time wedding businesses to professionals finally booking their dream clients. Known for his straightforward, no-nonsense approach, Bunn emphasizes that "trends come, and trends go, but those who shift their focus and put in the work are the true success stories." His mission is to help wedding professionals cut through industry noise and concentrate on the strategies that will genuinely impact their businesses and families. As both mentor and coach, Bunn brings over 15 years of hands-on wedding industry experience combined with a track record of transforming careers through focused, practical education.

A Texas pastor has a divine recruitment strategy—he's telling Christians to “Join ICE for Jesus.” We unpack his unholy mix of nationalism, cruelty, and theology while trying to keep their blood pressure in check. Also in this episode: • A preacher blames the wrong calendar for the rapture's no-show • Mormons raise nearly $400K for a shooter's family • Catholic preschools lose their anti-LGBTQ discrimination case • Florida high school gets “Witchy Wednesday” backlash • The ELCA names its first Black presiding bishop Then, we face off over a big question: Should atheists be anti-theists—or can religion still have a place in a secular world?
