Don and Tom take listeners on a wild ride through the booming (and frequently disastrous) world of leveraged ETFs. They break down how these funds promise double or triple the excitement but mathematically bleed away returns through volatility decay. A few listener questions follow, covering retirement cash buffers, negotiating advisory fees on large portfolios, and comparing IRTR vs AOM for a near-retiree allocation. Humor, subtle self-mockery, a Jonas Brothers detour, and a reminder that gambling is not investing. 0:04 Opening banter and the thrill-seeker pitch for leveraged ETFs 1:29 Leveraged single-stock ETFs explode from zero to $40B 3:26 MicroStrategy example: stock up ~30%, 2x ETF down ~65% 5:03 How volatility decay quietly destroys leveraged returns 7:36 5x ETFs and the “go to zero in one day” problem 9:01 When leverage stops being “investing” and starts being gambling 11:38 Listener question: Should retirees hold a bigger cash buffer to avoid selling in downturns? 14:37 Listener question: Should a $4M managed client negotiate fees?

In this episode, we sit down with Micah Anderson, CEO of LEEF Brands (CSE: LEEF | OTCQB: LEEEF), to break down the company's Q3 2025 financial results and what's driving its turnaround story.LEEF delivered a standout quarter with revenue up 24% year-over-year to $8.4M, gross margins doubling to 45%, and the company generating positive adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow for the first time. We discuss the key drivers behind that performance — from the first successful harvests at Salisbury Canyon Ranch in California to the rapid launch of LEEF's extraction lab in New York.Topics we cover:• The execution behind Salisbury Canyon Ranch and New York — LEEF's two 2025 strategic goals — and how they are reshaping cost structure and margins.• The operational levers behind a 23-point margin expansion: how much came from vertical integration vs. new market mix.• How LEEF is maintaining cost discipline with operating expenses down 12% YoY while growing topline performance.• The company's approach to managing 280E taxes and its stance on accruing vs. paying UTP.• Why LEEF added Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, and how Micah views Bitcoin allocation versus other growth investments like expansion or scaling SCR.• Plans for the next phase: expanding cultivation at Salisbury Canyon Ranch to 187 acres, scaling production in New York, and evaluating new state entries every 12–24 months.After Micah joins, we broaden the discussion with a look at the Q3 earnings season across cannabis, including Verano and Jushi. We dig into trends like margin compression, limited catalysts until 2026+ in key states, and how efficiency and vertical integration are separating strong operators from those treading water.A grounded, data-driven discussion on execution, cost control, and strategy in a tough market — plus a look at where real growth may come next.

Tune in to today's explosive edition of Joe Untamed, where we dive into the chaos tearing at America's fabric—from radical gender insanity invading women's safe spaces to jihadist plots thwarted just in time to save Halloween bloodshed. A California Gold's Gym mom gets blacklisted for daring to protest a man lurking in the women's locker room, exposing the trans agenda's war on privacy and sanity. But the real nightmare? In Dearborn, Michigan—ground zero for open-border fallout—FBI heroes under Kash Patel's watch dismantle an ISIS-wannabe "pumpkin" massacre targeting Ferndale's LGBT scene, with young Muslim plotters stockpiling AR-15s and plotting a Paris-style slaughter. How many more near-misses before we seal the borders and deport the threats? Plus, Chicago's invading hordes form a "union" to dodge rent and ICE—entitled squatters demanding handouts while real Americans foot the bill. And don't miss Mark Levin's fiery RJC rant, baying to "cancel and deplatform" right-wing truth-tellers like Tucker Carlson over Israel critiques—why fracture MAGA when unity is our superpower?Buckle up for a no-holds-barred showdown with geopolitical powerhouse Halsey English, the Substack sensation and Patreon insider who's decoding the shadows sabotaging Trump's triumph. From deep-state burrows in State and Defense leaking poison to divide his cabinet. Is the ultimate divide-and-conquer, baiting us into forever wars while real nationalists get branded traitors? Halsey's raw takes on institutional resistance, globalist vs. nationalist clashes, and purging the infiltrators will arm you to protect the movement before it's too late.We pivot to a gut-wrenching global wake-up call: the genocide unfolding in Nigeria, where 7,000+ Christians slaughtered this year alone by Boko Haram butchers—raped, beheaded, buried in mass graves—while woke influencers and MSM stay criminally silent. Trump's Truth Social thunderclap demands justice, echoing Bill Maher's roast of media cover-ups and a chilling montage of moms with babies beaten bloody. Pastors plead for intervention as caskets stack like cordwood—62,000 dead since 2000—and the Pentagon drops a stark warning to these faith-killers. Then, in our fiery reaction block, we unleash the ultimate taxpayer revolt: a blistering Fax Blast to Congress exposing Democrats' SNAP scam, where illegals gorge on $2.4M fraud rings and 59% welfare abuse via anchor babies, surging costs 40% under Biden's border betrayal. Demand the SNAP Integrity Act now—strip benefits from invaders, enforce work rules, and prosecute the grifters—or watch America starve while sanctuary scum feast. This is your battle cry—join the fight, fax your reps, and reclaim our nation before the swamp swallows us whole!

Offense vs Purdue Starts at :57 This podcast starts out telepathically but then Brian's intrusive thoughts got telepathed so it had to stop. Dave introduces the Snack of the Week. Would you rather talk about this game or Dunkaroos? Bryce Underwood - not good in the first half. A fumble on the sideline is usually harmless unless it involves the silliest rule in football. His scrambling was good but you can't build a business in this industry by scrambling, that will get you killed against Ohio State. Too many missed passes, he doesn't really settle in. By the Georgia game, JJ was probably where Bryce is now - many mistakes but you can see the talent. On the flip side, the offensive line had a great game. Purdue loaded the box but Jordan Marshall rushed for 185 yards anyways. You can't tackle him with just one guy, he will emerge from piles. This is the fourth straight game where Sprague has been incredible. Bryson Kuzdzal had some nice runs on the game-sealing drive. Tight ends were fine, more catches by Zack Marshall. There's not a lot of separation between Marshall and Klein. Semaj had way fewer snaps, Goodwin saw more time. You have six 2nd or 3rd year players on this offensive line that can absolutely play in this conference. The future of the offensive line is bright.  2. Defense vs Purdue Starts at 41:43 How do we even feel about the defensive performance? We've seen Purdue all season be an offense that moves the ball down the field but can't score. That happened but it felt bad. Cam Brandt was too far upfield on a couple big run plays. Why are the good defensive ends not on the field for 70% of the snaps that they should be out for? Why are the starters rotating out so much throughout the game? Assuming he's healthy, do you put Jaishawn Barham at DE or LB against Ohio State? Michigan didn't commit to a position for him and it's hurting his play. Way fewer three defensive tackle sets, yay. If your name is going to be "Michael Jackson" you need to go by "Mike". Jyaire Hill got sealed a couple times but was otherwise fine. The endzone DPI was DPI. Metcalf got sucked in during the touchdown.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:06:04 Takes hotter than the amount of trouble Jason would get into if he did the Hot Takes voice at a golf tournament where he was during recording. Michigan has not been good at Special Teams Things, why are they running kickoffs out of the middle of the endzone? Another punt that Semaj didn't field that gave up 20 yards. Did Jay Harbaugh have a heat map for punting? We've never had to talk so much about shield punting positioning but now we have to. Clock management at the end of the first half was pretty on-point. Purdue's 4th down decision making was aggressive which you do if you want to try to win the game. Shout out to Michigan fans for feeding energy back into the team in the 4th quarter. The students did the shirtless thing that's become a college football thing. Also shout out to Barry Odom for getting the Purdue bench fired up.  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:28:22 Indiana 55, Maryland 10 This is a typical Indiana game these days. Indiana's offense is a machine. The defense is... also a machine?? Every week, Indiana has some weird defensive stat that's historical and worth tracking. Mendoza threw and interception on his first play, the game was wobbly for about a quarter.  Ohio State 38, Penn State 14 Briefly competitive in the 2nd quarter. Penn State is the first top five team in the history of college football to lose five straight games. Julian Sayin had 14 yards per attempt. Ohio State finally catches a break and gets an obvious targeting call to not get enforced.  Minnesota 23, Michigan State 20 (OT) MSU benches Aidan Chiles for Alessio Milivojevic. The Spartans lose this game despite outgaining Minnesota by about 160 yards. The final two minutes of this game are worth watching. Northwestern QB Aidan Chiles?? Alessio had a better EPA than Chiles any other game this season. USC 21, Nebraska 17 If you like offense, don't look at this game. We are suddenly having feelings about Wink Martindale. Dylan Raiola is done for the season and USC is able to grind out a win. Raiola's backup went 5/7 for 7 yards.  Illinois 35, Rutgers 13 A solid victory for Illinois, most of Rutgers' yards are when it was 35-6. Bert: "I put us as good as any 6-3 team out there. That doesn't mean anything." Bowl eligible in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2011. Illinois is the new Wisconsin.  MUSIC: "On & On"—The Marcus King Band "Husbands"—Geese "Don't Forget That I Love you"—Pale Jay “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Michigan Progressive House candidate for the state's 7th Congressional District, William Lawrence, held a vigil and and food drive for his fellow working class citizens, who had their food benefits ended on November 1st, thanks to the MAGA Republican Government Shutdown.  Current MAGA Congressman for the 7th District, Tom Barrett, refused to help-out during the vigil, and instead cried about "vandalism" after someone wrote some non-offensive words in chalk on his district office building in Lansing.  While Barrett complains about chalk while rubber-stamping Dear Leader Trump's entire economic failings, over a million Michiganders--and over 40-million Americans--are in danger of losing their food benefits.  We're in the new Gilded Age, but this time, it's backed by an authoritarian government.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Congressional candidate hosts food drive and vigil outside Rep.

In this episode of Five Minute Friday, I get fired up about something that far too many orthodontists overlook: occlusion fundamentals. Not just cuspid rise vs. group function, but how to recognize when a case needs to be treated in CR, how to make a full-coverage splint, and why even a simple occlusal equilibration can radically improve a patient's quality of life. I share what I learned from my three-year gnathological residency at the University of Washington, and why I believe every orthodontist should have this level of working knowledge — especially if you're restoring full arch cases with aligners or fixed appliances.I also float an idea I've been on the fence about: a day-and-a-half live course on occlusion — practical, clinical, and built for orthodontists who want to elevate their diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcomes. If you've ever seen a post on group function and wondered, “Is this OK?” — this episode is your wake-up call. It's time we stop treating occlusion as an afterthought and start embracing it as foundational to our profession.QUOTES"For many of you out there, you're burning the candle on both ends… That's not a consulting problem.

How does a former Westpac mortgage broker become the #1 auction agent in the Belle Property network? Norman So, Principal and Agent at Belle Property Strathfield, has recently been named Belle Property's #1 auction agent and ranks #7 among all NSW agents. His journey from bank employee to one of Belle Property's top performers — now targeting $4M+ in annual GCI — demonstrates the power of market specialisation, innovative marketing, and systematic team building. Norman didn't just change careers; he transformed real estate marketing in Sydney's competitive western corridor. Starting with apartments in Homebush and quickly dominating Strathfield, his record-breaking $16.6 million sale redefined the suburb's price ceiling.

He believes that if your business doesn't work for you, then it's not working.

BioHarvest Sciences CEO Ilan Sobel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone — a strategic Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization agreement with Saffron Tech, an agritech leader pioneering advanced and scalable saffron cultivation. The collaboration is focused on developing and commercializing saffron-derived botanical compounds using BioHarvest's patented Botanical Synthesis™ platform. Under the partnership structure, Saffron Tech will own 75% of any newly developed saffron compositions and their associated IP and commercialization rights, while BioHarvest will retain a 25% stake. Sobel explained that once development is completed, BioHarvest plans to leverage its large-scale production capabilities to manufacture the compound for a new line of saffron-based nutraceutical products, sold directly through its consumer channels. These formulations will aim to harness saffron's well-established functional benefits, including support for cognitive performance, eye health, mood balance, and antioxidant activity. Saffron Tech brings a groundbreaking production model to the partnership. It is the first company to successfully produce multiple cycles of premium-grade saffron year-round, rather than relying on traditional seasonal farming. This innovation is especially impactful given saffron's market dynamics — it is widely known as the world's most expensive spice, commonly priced above $10,000 per kilogram due to high labor intensity and limited global supply, with Iran accounting for more than 80% of current production. Alongside the partnership announcement, Sobel provided a business update, reporting preliminary unaudited Q3 2025 revenue guidance of approximately $9.1 million, aligned with management expectations. Unaudited adjusted EBITDA is projected between ($0.7M) and ($0.4M) for the quarter, while cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 total approximately $11 million, supporting continued operational and commercialization progress. Sobel emphasized that the collaboration with Saffron Tech marks an exciting entry into a new, high-value market segment and further demonstrates BioHarvest's ability to apply its Botanical Synthesis™ technology to multiple natural compounds with strong consumer demand and health-driven applications. #proactivinvestors #nasdaq #bhst #pharma #biotech #hearthealth #BioHarvestSciences, #IlanSobel, #Vinia #SportsNutrition #Resveratrol #InformedSport #AthleteWellness #FunctionalFoods #DailySupplements #BloodFlowSupport #HydrationMarket #PlantBasedInnovation #SaffronTech #SuperSaffron #BotanicalSynthesis #Nutraceuticals

What if a health system could be massive and still feel local to every patient it serves? We sit down with Dr. MaCalus Hogan, chair of orthopedic surgery at UPMC, to unpack how a hybrid model—academic, community-employed, and private partners—can deliver scale without sameness. Dr. Hogan shares the leadership habits that shaped his path (mentorship, humility, listening first) and how those habits translate into practical decisions that align surgeons, hospitals, and health plans around value.We pull back the curtain on horizontal integration—building trust and shared standards across regions—before moving into vertical integration that connects financing, bundles, post-acute care, and data. Dr. Hogan explains how UPMC leveraged CJR-era lessons to create surgeon-built programs for quality and cost, mirrored within a 4M+ member health plan. Expect clear insights on center-of-excellence designations, optimizing post-acute spend, and the realities of TEAMS participation. We also dig into consolidation with eyes wide open: comparing contracts, unlocking economies of scale, and reinvesting savings into community access points like ambulatory surgery centers and subspecialty services where patients actually live.Looking 15–20 years ahead, Dr. Hogan argues the big will get bigger, but winners will collaborate, not copy-and-paste. Markets differ, payer mixes shift, and culture matters. The future favors systems that listen locally and act decisively—standardizing where it helps, flexing where it counts. If you care about orthopedic leadership, bundles, payer alignment, and how to grow without breaking what works, this conversation offers a grounded playbook.Enjoy the episode? Follow, share with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what's one integration move your market needs next?

Offense vs Michigan State Starts at 1:05 They watch games in Craig's garage but to be clear it's a very nice garage. This game means different things based on if you're from Michigan or not. This game is like "Jerry Springer: the Rivalry". Michigan went back to the 2023 "we can just run the ball and get away with a win" gameplan. 'Road Bryce' seems to be a real thing. Every time they show Jonathan Smith he looks like he doesn't want to be there. Should there be an ingrained hatred of Michigan if you're going to be the head coach at Michigan State? Bryce doesn't have a good game but both backs go for over 100 yards. Bryce looked great last week, what happened? Or is this just the case of a true freshman in a road environment again? Sprague and Guarnera had great games, El-Hadi maybe not so much? The pieces for the 2026 offensive line may already be in place. Let's talk about Semaj... We're mostly out on Semaj, do you bench him now for his own good? Jordan Marshall: runs through guys and runs through guys. The Crippen high snap was unfortunate. Can anyone play fullback better than Max Bredeson?  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Michigan State Starts at 59:04 We've been down on Wink but this was a good game for the defense. You can't take much on this based on the performance of the opposition. Chiles was awful in a vacuum, Michigan was not forcing his problems. Hillman had a really good game, he's been given a lot of criticism but this was a chaotically good game. Jimmy Rolder was a little bit of everywhere, he's a playmaker now. Derrick Moore is pretty good, he should start! Everything around the defensive tackle position is fine but we're used to a defense designed around great defensive tackles. Defensive backs should have as equal right to the ball as wide receivers.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:26:57 Takes hotter than the bacteria and/or virus that really got up in Brian's business this week. Glue the hat and pants on, Michigan State's not getting the trophy back. Some of us don't think that guy was off-sides... or was he? The hold on Crippen is not even remotely a hold. If that's a hold then we need to talk about Jaishawn Barham. Why are we accepting a fair catch on the 20?? We are out on J.B. Brown as special teams coordinator. Hollenbeck had a nice game at least. Semaj gets run over by Goodwin?! Should they have taken a shot in the endzone before the end of the half?   4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:51:10 Rutgers 27, Purdue 24 The Purdue QB catches his own pass and spectacularly hands the game over to Rutgers in dramatic fashion. Rutgers gets yards, not points. Purdue wins a game they probably shouldn't have. This game kind of saved Rutgers' season, they could potentially compete with Penn State for bowl eligibility.  Nebraska 28, Northwestern 21 Northwestern outgains Nebraska and Dylan Raiola was un-inspiring. That said, Raiola was still the better QB. Northwestern always seems to find the worst QB in the portal. Nebraska seems to think they can solve their offensive line problems with the portal but they can't.  Indiana 56, UCLA 6 There was a pick-six a minute into the game and that's all she wrote. Last year Indiana was a fun story, this year THEY'RE SCARY.  Washington 42, Illinois 25 Road Washington is a thing. The worst roughing the passer call we've ever seen is in this game. Could Oregon be a play-in for a playoff spot for Washington??  Oregon 21, Wisconsin 7 Wisconsin doesn't get shut out three games in a row! All things considered, the Wisconsin defense is playing their hearts out.  Iowa 41, Minnesota 3 Iowa had 274 total yards. How do you get 41 points on 274 total yards? It's Iowa. We need a Floyd of Rosedale pose on touchdowns in this game. Playoff Iowa??? No, that's silly.  MUSIC: "Chokkan Way"—Haku "My Girlfriend Doesn't Worry"—Jeffrey Lewis "Nausea"—Jeff Rosenstock “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra   

Guy spent 2 years and $4M building Snyk to $100K ARR. Thousands of developers loved the product. They just wouldn't pay.Then he figured out the problem: he had product-user fit, but not product-buyer fit. Developers loved Snyk. Security teams (the actual buyers) didn't care about it. The distance between user and buyer was killing him.So Guy spent a year building governance features, reporting, and enterprise capabilities—all the stuff developers didn't care about but security teams needed to write checks. Four months later, Snyk hit $650K ARR. A year after that, $4.5M. Then $19M. Today it's over $300M ARR.This episode breaks down the brutal reality of PLG when your user isn't your buyer, why Guy thinks the worst outcome for a founder is getting stuck (not failing), and how he's now raising $125M for his next company Tessl.If you're building PLG, selling to enterprise, or wondering why your users love you but won't pay—this is required listening.Why You Should Listen:Learn why thousands of users loving your product means nothing if they won't payDiscover the difference between product-user fit and product-buyer fitUnderstand why the worst outcome isn't failure—it's getting stuck in the grey zoneMaster the art of anchoring in the future instead of just filling today's gapsKeywords:startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, PLG strategy, product-user fit vs product-buyer fit, developer tools, security startup, enterprise sales, bottoms-up GTM, Snyk founderChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:37) The first start up :Blaze.io"(00:06:16) The Beginning & Concept of Skyk(00:15:27) Why use Snyk(00:23:41) The Product Led Growth for Snyk(00:33:08) Raising for Snyk(00:38:58) The Beginning & Concept of TESL(00:46:39) Raising for TESL(00:48:52) Finding PMF(00:49:26) One Piece of AdviceSend me a message to let me know what you think!

Sports Cards Live episode 287, Part 1. Jeremy sits down with Joe Poirot to kick off the night, then Leighton Sheldon jumps in for a deep dive on the headline sale of the 1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth that just hammered around 4M after a prior 7.2M comp. We unpack why rare does not always equal iconic, how schedule issues compare to Goudey Ruths, and what “value” means when a card trades so infrequently. From there we zoom out to the auction landscape: shill bidding realities, house bidding on behalf of consignors, and reserves—how they work, where they are disclosed, and how buyers can protect themselves. Jeremy shares a Classic Auctions mail day, completing a 1952 Parkhurst “flight” with Rocket Richard alongside Gordie Howe, Terry Sawchuk, and Tim Horton, plus a fun pickup of game-used Mats Sundin gloves. We also touch on Probstein moving off eBay to SNYPE, Fanatics vault strategies, and using Card Ladder to sanity-check comps. What you'll learn Why the Baltimore News Ruth can lag iconic appeal despite extreme rarity How auction house reserves and house bids can affect bidding behavior Practical tactics to limit shill exposure set a ceiling price and stick to it How “flight collecting” works as a middle path between set and type collecting Vintage hockey targets in 1951–52 Parkhurst and why they resonate Learn more about your ad choices.

With $4 million to invest, should you secure a high-end condo or stretch into the landed segment? Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers uses the Buying Power Triangle to explore how price thresholds, buyer profiles and exit potential interact in today's property landscape. The $4.5 million mark emerges as a critical pivot—especially for those aiming to future-proof their real estate decisions.   Cooling measures like the 60% ABSD for foreigners have reshaped transaction volumes, pushing local buyers to the forefront. Melvin examines how this shift impacts the buyer pool, resale strategies, and why understanding the aspiration ladder matters more than ever when planning your next move.   If you're navigating property investment around the $4M mark, this episode offers grounded thinking on strategic positioning and long-term exit planning.   0:00 - Teaser 0:54 - Q&A Time - If I have $4 mil, Condo or Landed? 1:13 - Intro to 3 Mechanisms 1:31 - Mechanism 1: Who are the Buyers 1:38 - Chart: New Sale Non-Landed Homes by Foreigners & PRs 2:54 - Chart: Resale Non-Landed Homes by Foreigners & PRs 3:25 - Understanding Buying Power Triangle 3:35 - Element 1: Affordability 5:12 - Element 2: Sweet Spot Pricing 7:30 - Element 3: Who are the Buyers 8:23 - Every Singaporean's Aspiration 10:20 - Finding the Sweet Spot 11:18 - Conclusion & Outro

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss! Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today.Banyan Gold (TSXV: BYN | OTCQB: BYAGF) — Yukon drill momentum + fourth rig Banyan hit multiple near-surface gold intercepts at the AurMac Project's Powerline deposit, including 1.90 g/t Au over 17.3m and 2.69 g/t Au over 11.8m (with peaks up to 33.0 g/t and 29.3 g/t). Backed by a $31.4M strategic investment, the program is upsized to 40,000m with a fourth drill rig now turning. Management says the high-grade zones are open in all directions, supporting growth and potential conversion of ounces to higher confidence categories.ATEX Resources — Record copper-gold hit kicks off Phase VI in Chile ATEX's first Phase VI hole at Valeriano delivered its best intercept to date: 164m @ 2.72% CuEq, including 40m @ 4.73% CuEq, within a broader 528m @ 1.32% CuEq. Six rigs are active in a ~25,000m program targeting B2B Zone expansion and new B2B-style discoveries. Some assays remain pending, but results suggest potential grade upgrades and a starter operation concept.GreenLight Metals (TSXV: GRL) — High-grade copper-gold in Wisconsin + winter drill next GreenLight reported a standout 22.24m @ 3.02 g/t Au & 2.03% Cu (5.27% CuEq) at the Bend VMS deposit, with visible gold at 290m. Phase 1 (six holes, 2,037m) wrapped on schedule on private mineral lands, and a 5,000–6,000m winter program is planned. Hole B25-006 assays are pending. The company also engaged Bunt Capital for investor relations to broaden market outreach.Amex Exploration (TSXV: AMX | OTCQX: AMXEF) — Record grade supports feasibility work at Perron A geomechanical program in the Champagne Zone returned the property's highest-ever grade: 1,106.50 g/t Au over 0.50m, within 213.11 g/t over 3.75m and 25.19 g/t over 32.80m. While designed for mine-design data (not grade hunting), results reinforce strong continuity as Amex advances a Phase 1 Feasibility Study and evaluates toll milling to speed time-to-first-ore.Cartier Resources (TSXV: ECR; FSE: 6CA) — Shallow high-grade expands at Cadillac's NCZ Cartier's latest batch from the North Contact Zone includes 11.0 g/t Au over 9.0m with 30.2 g/t over 2.5m, plus additional hits up to 27.1 g/t over 1.0m. Mineralization now spans ~400m strike by ~300m depth, open in all directions, near surface (thin overburden) and ~250m from road access—supporting scenarios for efficient, near-term development within a fully funded 100,000m program.Like this fast, facts-first small-cap roundup?Follow AGORACOM for more breaking small-cap news and real-time updates.And don't miss a beat—subscribe to the AGORACOM podcast for quick hit interviews and market movers!

2 hour and 10 minutes The Sponsors Thank you to Underground Printing for making this all possible. Rishi and Ryan have been our biggest supporters from the beginning.

Our associate sponsors are: Peak Wealth Management, Matt Demorest - Realtor and Lender, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, Sharon's Heating & Air Conditioning, The Sklars Brothers, Champions Circle, Winewood Organics, Community Pest Solutions, Venue by 4M where record this, and Introducing this season: Radecki Oral Surgery, and Long Road Distillers. 1. Offense vs Washington Starts at 1:05 Pay no attention to the background noise from the drag show at Venue. This game was vanilla and we like that. Bryce Underwood had a fabulous day despite losing about 50 yards from drops. There seems to be a big difference between Road Bryce and Home Bryce. Michigan didn't take many deep shots because the short stuff was working great and Washington has tall corners. The remaining road games shouldn't be nearly as threatening as the previous three. The game is over but they have a designed run for Bryce? Jordan Marshall isn't Justice Haynes but he gets a lot of yards after contact. He's still working on re-gapping but overall an excellent first start for him. Jasper Parker looked fine. Under Harbaugh not much changed between offensive coordinators, but with Chip Lindsey a lot has changed already. He was dealing in the first touchdown drive. When's the last time we came out of a game thinking "oh wow they nuked the defensive coordinator?" How do we feel about going for it on 4th down and passing it to Mr. Dropsies? Running it up the middle is probably a 70% conversion, throwing it to Semaj is also a 70% conversion but for different reasons. Evan Link looks to be done for the year. Bryce's first scramble was Frazier getting knocked backwards, he seems fine but doesn't quite have the oomf that Evan Link does. Zack Marshall had a great game, what happened to the starting tight ends? Overall the offensive line was fine.  2. Defense vs Washington Starts at 34:40 The defense only gave up seven points but everyone is still a little mad. Michigan runs a pretty vanilla defense and it works nicely because college quarterbacks are going to make mistakes. Oden did intercept the ball but uhh... it was not because of his performance. Washington shot themselves in the foot but also Jaishawn Barham was much more responsible. Wink is not forgiven but it was nice that this game plan was simplified and it was fine. A lot of defensive tackle rotation but not everybody is a play maker. Is Lou Esposito the one rotating the tackles so much? Maybe part of the chaos on defense is you don't get used to playing next to the same guy every snap. This will not be a -33 RPS day. Jyaire Hill is not getting targeted very much.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 58:19 Takes hotter than the bangin' drag show going on during the recording of this podcast. Brian apologizes once again for changing "AHHH YOU PUT IT THROUGH THE UPRIGHTS" and disrupting the cosmic balance. Zvada misses another field goal but gets the game sealer. Punting was a 35 yarder and then a rocket. No major complains about Semaj on punt returns except that he hit the spin button at the wrong time. The 4th and 1 drop to Semaj was unfortunate. What about the 4th and 2 on the 6? The whistle blew too early. Max Bredeson's holding call is the worst holding call since that Northwestern holding call. Stadium vibe: some people could actually use their phones! It should not take nine minutes to get a $9 coke, the athletic department doesn't pay close attention to the small things. Apparently concession people at Yost don't get paid but the athletic department can finally install cell phone towers at Michigan Stadium after 11 years under Warde.  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:26:57 Iowa 25, Penn State 24 The nicest thing you can say about Penn State is that a lot of big programs are in collapse. Drew Allar's career is over, Ethan Grunkemeyer throws for 93 yards and throws two interceptions. Iowa threw for 68 yards but ran for 245 yards, Iowa should just run the triple option!  UCLA 20, Maryland 17 You gotta respect Maryland's commitment to one Army drive and then not doing a thing after. UCLA looked like the better team all game. This was a Big Ten [wild wild] West game. This is Maryland's third straight heartbreaking loss, they can't finish games with a freshman QB. There's still a path to a bowl.  Indiana 38, Michigan State 13 Shout out to everyone who listened to this on Spartan Radio. Indiana's offense was extremely efficient. Fernando Mendoza was 24/28 for 332 yards and four touchdowns. Indiana football fans were mad that they weren't winning by more. Did Indiana give up enough passing yards to be concerned with playoff implications for the Hoosiers? Northwestern 19, Purdue 0 Northwestern gets one 76 yard scoring drive and that's about all the scoring in this game. Don't let the score fool you into thinking that Northwestern has figured something out.  Notre Dame 34, USC 24 USC takes a 3rd quarter lead followed by Notre Dame getting a kickoff return. Then USC just falls apart in the 4th quarter. This was frustrating to watch as a Michigan fan.  Ohio State 34, Wisconsin 0 134 total yards for Wisconsin and that's generous. Oh god they play Oregon next weekend. Minnesota 24, Nebraska  Dylan Raiola is sacked nine times, that's too many times. Nebraska had just entered the top 25 and has now exited the top 25. A left tackle was ejected for targeting! Shout out to Minnesota fans for really filling the stadium on a Friday night.  Oregon 56, Rutgers 10 14 different Oregon players went for at least 10 yards on a play. Oregon was very upset about their Indiana game. Somehow there wasn't a rutger.

Defense vs USC Starts at 1:00 Seth reads off an ominous message from Brian from earlier last week. USC's success rate was typical of a good offense against a MAC team. This was the dumbest game plan we've ever seen a Michigan defensive coordinator execute. Wink Martindale coaches like he looks down on college and Brian is officially done with him. Is Wink just Charlie Weis?? What happened between The Meeting from last year and this year? Mike McDonald made a lot of the same mistakes in his first four games but he was able to adjust to what was around him, Wink can't change. Would things be better if they fired Wink Martindale and just made Rod Moore the defensive coordinator? His answer to the question "are you spilling or setting the edge" was "it depends on the playcall" which raises a red flag. How much actual player development is being done? They're playing their subs in the first quarter, Brandt had more snaps than Derrick Moore. USC was running a lot of really easy stuff but they may legitimately be one of the best offenses in the country. Why are they subbing so much against such a good offense? His buyout is head coach money to be one of the worst defensive coordinators in the Big Ten. It's not just younger guys making mistakes, it's older guys, too. At some point you gotta think "maybe this is a tunnel screen?" USC had a 66% standard downs success rate.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Offense vs USC Starts at 40:07 There was a limited number of drives in part because USC ran the clock a lot. Bryce Underwood just wasn't quite up for it in this one. His deep passes were too flat but he had some good moments too. Denard talked about how in big games we was so amped that he couldn't hit his targets, maybe Bryce is still a little nervous in big games. USC's nickel is nicknamed "the angry giraffe" because he's so tall. Andrew Marsh is getting better rapidly and is becoming the next best option #2, maybe that's why the tight ends got fewer targets. The pieces of a solid offense are there, they're still developing. The tackles weren't getting whipped consistently. Despite the issues, Bryce is developing as expected for a freshman, he has a lot of added pressure when the defense can't stop the opposing offense. Based on limited snaps of Jadyn Davis, maybe you can't run Bryce as much to risk injury. El-Hadi was back and looked fine.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:04:56 Takes hotter than the eternal flame in the Los Angeles Coliseum (which does get put out at the conclusion of the game). The game might've been going a bit fast which caused the false starts. The OPI was a bad call. Michigan drew a holding call!! A lot of extracurriculars went uncalled. Hollenbeck's punting started promising but eventually resulted in a 28 yarder. Do you punt or try for a 60 yard field goal? That two point conversion is apparently the thing you do now? The USC cheerleaders were on the field when Michigan was running a play!  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 128:41 NOTE: This was recorded just before James Franklin was fired. Indiana 30, Oregon 20 This was a defensive masterclass from Indiana. This is how 2023 Michigan would've beaten Oregon. How the hell does Indiana have one of the best defenses in America?? This was really the first game all year where Dante Moore was under pressure and didn't seem to know what to do. Indiana has signs of... a championship winning team?! Penn State 21, Northwestern 22 Drew Allar is out for the season. This wasn't a fluke, Northwestern just outperformed Penn State. Linebacker U has completely fallen apart and Jim Knowles doesn't seem to know how to be aggressive with this roster. Will... Penn State win a Big Ten game?? James Franklin was fired immediately after this recording so there's still speculation on what to do with this situation. The situation at Penn State just seems toxic all around.  UCLA 38, Michigan State 13 Michigan State scores on their first drive and then that's all, folks. October UCLA is the opposite of October Maryland. Michigan State can't move on from John Smith for stability reasons... can they? What do the Spartans do well? What Big Ten teams would swap their QB with Aidan Chiles? Nebraska 34, Maryland 31 Nebraska had control of this game down-to-down but Dylan Raiola threw three interceptions. October Maryland can't get out of their way again. Raiola isn't quite there yet but has a shot at it next year.  Ohio State 34, Illinois 16 Ohio State was never really threatened. Illinois outgains Ohio State 295 to 275 but three of Ohio State's first four drives started in Illinois territory.  Iowa 37, Wisconsin 0 Sim to basketball season. This wasn't even an Iowa offensive explosion, Wisconsin threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. You can't fire Fickell but you also can't afford not to? Washington 38, Rutgers 19 A fun first half but Washington blows the doors open in the second half. Total yards were 590 to 493. Rutgers is 0-3 in the Big Ten but had a halftime lead in each of those games.  Purdue 20, Minnesota 27 Minnesota is outrushed 253 to 30 rushing yards but Purdue throws three interceptions and loses a fumble. If you rewatch this game, we will have to call 911.

Offense vs Wisconsin Starts at 1:00 Are Michigan fans turning beet red or was it just hot? This game looks better on rewatch and followed the preview fairly closely. Bryce Underwood took a leap forward in this game, he has the occasional accuracy issue and isn't testing the middle of the field, but he's starting to hit guys downfield. Andrew Marsh and Donaven McCulley also took a huge lea. This is encouraging considering Goodwin was barely targeted, Semaj has been having catching issues, and Frederick Moore is off the team. You can rotate most positions but not the wide receivers. Russel Bellamy has been getting unfairly judged for the receivers. Wisconsin has a very good rush defense and Michigan put up pretty good numbers. Underwood needs to get the ball out a little quicker. Sprague will grade out negatively but he generally does it well when he knows the right assignment. The offensive line is young, they need some time to get better. Lindsey plays off the screen game really well. Has Michigan gotten a holding call all year on defense? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Wisconsin Starts at 39:33 10 points from the opposition but three came from a sad field goal. They barely got to 200 yards of offense until "kill the clock mode". Rod Moore being back instantly makes this defense much better. Don't rotate him and just keep him on the field all game? Zeke Berry is back from injury, he missed a tackle but was otherwise fine. This defense seems like they miss a lot of tackles but we're comparing it to the best defense in recent school history. Jimmy Rolder was in his element, one time he almost picked up a fullback and threw him. Michigan goes cover zero in a situation that makes no sense. Everyone in the stands keeps turning towards Seth when this happens. Brandyn Hillman is reckless which is helpful sometimes, sometimes it hurts you. Please don't be weird against USC. 3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:05:20 Takes hotter than Michigan Stadium this Saturday. Michigan missed a 27 yard field goal, was it the hold? They did (just barely) block a punt and almost blocked a second one. Hollenbeck was blasting them in this game. What is up with Semaj's punt returns? Is he being told not to take any chances? Should you run a QB sneak on 4th and inches near your own red zone? Luke Fickell is Brady Hoke. They weren't trying to win the game in the 4th quarter, you can't have a six minute field goal drive in this situation. Seth is about to start charting an umpire's spatial awareness. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:34:02 UCLA 42, Penn State 37 UCLA has been awful all season but they looked like the #7 team in the country in Pasadena. James Franklin partially blamed the travel. Coming into this weekend, UCLA never led in any of their four games. In this game they never trailed. Tim Skipper has as many wins over top 10 teams as James Franklin. Penn State was a playoff team but now they have to beat Ohio State to have a chance, Was this the biggest Big Ten upset ever?  Nebraska 38, Michigan State 27 In most weeks this would be the funniest game of the week. Michigan State ran for 2.3 YPC and Chiles threw two interception into Nebraska chests. Their backup looked pretty good so is there a QB controversy?  Washington 24, Maryland 20 Maryland took a 20-0 lead but road Washington dominated October Maryland. Washington is still without their best defensive end, linebacker, and defensive back. Mike Locksley is 0-10 coming out of bye weeks.  Illinois 43, Purdue 27 The Purdue offense is actually functional. Each QB threw for over 300 yards.  Northwestern 42, ULM 7 One day we'll have something to say about Northwestern, but not today. Ohio State 42, Minnesota 3 They let Julian Sayin cook.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this raw Dropping Bombs episode, Justin Georgopoulos—founder of Trade Launch—shows how he went from butcher-shop shifts to a $6M+ painting company and a seven-figure-a-month GC by 27. He hands you the blueprint most contractors ignore: own demand with simple ads + door-knocking, present quotes at the kitchen table (not by email), price with production standards, and use AI renderings on the spot so buyers see the result and say yes. Most contractors lose deals by emailing quotes. This is how you stop working in the business and start running an asset built on sales, systems, and discipline. Then he gets ruthless about scale: train estimators who close $2–4M/yr, stack selfie-style Facebook ads with canvassing, pre-qual hard, and run tight SOPs/KPIs so jobs deliver without you. You're not a roofer, painter, or GC—you're a sales & marketing machine that happens to build world-class work. If you're stuck on the tools, this is your wake-up call to leverage AI, own the demand, build the machine, and cash out big.

The Backcourt Starts at 1:00 Out: Tre Donaldson, In: Elliot Cadeau, who is a much better creator, and that's what this team needs. Cadeau and the general UNC'ness of North Carolina are hard to separate but he was a five-star who plays hot and should benefit from not having to fight for usage with RJ Davis. Defensively his size puts a cap on what he can do but he gets after it: more Xavier Simpson than Eli Brooks. LJ Cason is the backup point, we guess, though he may defer to Gayle as the on-ball player in those sets just because Cason is more of an off-ball threat than Roddy. Cason was a three-star because he was coming in unready, but could take that huge jump. This year is the freshman Jordan Poole year, not the sophomore Jordan Poole year, IE frustratingly forgivable. Gayle isn't going to shoot 9% in the Big Ten again, but he's what he is at this point: a guy who can get to the rim and create fouls/hit his free throws. We kinda want him coming off the bench since he can fill in for a lot of what any given starter leaves, but isn't a great fit with the other projected starting four. The other wild card is their new five-star. Trey McKenney lost 20 pounds in the offseason so he might not as much of a burly 2/3 as he seemed at OLSM. He's still Gayle at this point in his career, though with some big point upside. Not a one-and-done but should be ready by Tournament time. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes, Wings and Frontcourt Starts at 32:15 Starting at the three again will be Nimari Burnett, who is Nimari: a usage soak who is there to end good possessions not start them. He began to show a bit of creation late last season but that only got him from 90% points assisted to 84%. He is very good at what he does, and unlikely to do more. His backups are extra guards, and Winters Grady, who should be Just a Shooter at this stage, and more down the road. Oscar Goodman arrived midseason last year, but he's supposed to need another year of development. Patrick Liburd is the kind of guy we wish was 2 years older right now. At the four is Yaxel Lendeborg, the #1 player in the portal, who is going to be a cross between Danny Wolf and Johni Broome, though not better than either of them. He is very strong and impossible to stop once he has you off your feet, but he's coming from an offense where he had to be the alpha creator every play and he's better as the second option. Can he guard up to three? Probably in the Big Ten; there was some distance at the Combine between him and Wolf in the agility drills, but Yaxel came out like Johni: agile enough to be among the who can play the four in the NBA. Backup to Yax is Will Tschetter, the rarest bird in college basketball these days as a five-year player who stuck around despite the likelihood of less playing time than last year. They were working on making him a shooter on the move. He has to be hidden away defensively, but this lineup has plenty of defenders to do that. Frontcourt is two guys instead of 1.5 now. We are obsessed with the upside of Aday Mara, who is 7'3" with impossible length. He would have had the highest block rate in the country by some distance if he played enough to qualify; he didn't because he got sick (Mono?) but when he returned they had him playing 21 mpg and UCLA got much, much better. Then he got benched. Sometimes he plays soft—was that a sick thing, a Cronin thing? He's also got a soft touch and a good feel for passing. May be as good as Yaxel if he hits his ceiling. Mara's platoonmate, and the probable "starter," is Morez Johnson from Illinois, a crazy rebounder with great ups and shot-blocking ability. Offensively he's a finisher. Defensively there's some hope he can be switchable. Going to make it very hard to go inside and give Michigan an edge from the five that they haven't had since...? 3. How It All Fits Starts at 1:11:34 Can they play the bigs together? Matt D says the NBA is going back to three forwards, and Michigan's best attribute is they're Old North Carolina, where they're just going to out-size everybody. That's doable if they can get Mara to be the player we think he could be, since he can create and so can Yaxel, and you can get away with blow-bys when you have a guy like Mara who blocks shots without leaving the floor. Speaking of floor, this team at worst looks like a four-seed, with considerable upside if a) Mara can play more and maintain his numbers, b) Cadeau cuts down on turnovers, c) Gayle finds his shooting, d) Cason blows up, or e) McKenney blows up. Think they can cut down on turnovers from last year because Wolf just had a bunch that were unforced, and because instead of forcing everything to the rim they can shoot bad twos and rebound them. They also just have more room to pass to. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 2:02:19 Oregon 30, Penn State 24 Penn State could do nothing on offense until the 4th Q when they had went on an Oregon-is-exhausted march, then hit a great PA shot. The INT that ended it was that pyramid formation Lanning loves. Frames punted from the plus-36.  Ohio State 24, Washington 6 Went about how you might expect a team whose OL/DL are their issues would go against OSU, IE they got six points out of three red zone trips and then it was 17-6 in the 4th Q and they had to go for it on 4th down. OSU did a great job containing the QB run. Indiana 20, Iowa 15 I know that touchdown; that's the Anthony Carter play!  Iowa had chances to win this but lost their QB near the end and also went Cover Zero one too many times.  USC 32, Illinois 34 This felt like two good teams going at it, though USC was short on guys in the secondary and played bend-don't-break until they either broke or Illinois pulled out a Philly Special. Coulda been a blowout but Illinois fumbled in the endzone twice. Minnesota 31, Rutgers 28 Rutgers hits their program high when they have to play a Big Ten West schedule. Good solid quarterbacking until Athan Kaliakmanis had to face pressure, which is like Pedro Serrano trying to hit a curve. Northwestern 17, UCLA 14 Down 17-0 to Northwestern was probably UCLA's best shot at winning a Big Ten game this year.

On this week's episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews David Hrizak. With nearly three decades of experience across asset classes, David shares his evolution from Chicago broker to vertically integrated developer and investor. He recounts the pivotal $4M townhome project during the Great Recession, the sudden loss of his partner, and how relationships with community banks helped him pivot, survive, and ultimately thrive. David explains why he shifted from multifamily to commercial—highlighting the stability of long-term leases, the value of tenant credit, and how to structure triple-net leases that pass expenses through to tenants. He also stresses the importance of asking sponsors about their worst deals, vetting relationships, and learning from experienced partners before diving into commercial real estate.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if OnlyFans' millions hide a deadly trap no one escapes? In this bombshell episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Kelly Webb—a former OnlyFans star who raked in $4M before walking away from it all after finding God.   Kelly unveils the dark underbelly of the platform—sex tapes, exploitation, betrayal, and the spiritual void that left her feeling like she'd sold her soul. From childhood abuse and addiction to the tragic death of her fiancé, Oregon Ducks tight end Spencer Webb, Kelly carried trauma that fame and money couldn't heal. Then came the supernatural signs—like discovering she was pregnant during Spencer's memorial—that pulled her toward faith instead of destruction.   Now she's shutting down her OnlyFans and warning women everywhere: the platform lures with cash but delivers emptiness, ruin, and a soul-crushing price tag. No gimmicks. No filters. Just bombs about grief, God, and the truth behind “easy money.”
