The work is done. Now the mind takes over. The day before your big moment isn't about doing more—it's about thinking better. Show Notes: In this pre-race reflection, Baylor Barbee unpacks the hidden power of the day before. Whether it's a competition, a pitch, or a personal milestone, success isn't built on last-minute hustle—it's built on calm, clarity, and controlled energy. Drawing from his preparation for a 50K ultra trail run, Baylor explains why mental rehearsal is just as important as physical reps. He reveals how visualization, recovery, and contingency planning give you an edge when the real moment arrives—and why being “unproductive” the day before is actually one of the most productive things you can do. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the day before is often harder than the event itself How to use calm and stillness as peak preparation tools The neuroscience behind visualization and mental reps Why your mind can't tell the difference between imagined and real practice How to create a contingency mindset that keeps you ready for anything Featured Quote: "When you visualize it vividly enough, your mind counts it as a rep. So when the big moment comes, it's not the first time you've done it—it's just the first time others see it."

Sustainable Digital Advertising: How Purpose-Driven Brands Can Reduce Their Carbon Footprint and Boost PerformanceDigital advertising powers much of the online economy, but it comes with a hidden cost: a significant environmental impact. In a recent podcast, Josh Elledge spoke with Avril Tomlin-Hood, CEO & Founder of boa, a strategic sustainable digital media buying agency. They explored how brands can take meaningful action to reduce emissions while improving ad performance, offering practical strategies for purpose-driven marketing.Making Digital Advertising Sustainable Without Sacrificing PerformanceAvril explains that digital ads consume energy across servers, data centers, and real-time bidding platforms, creating “scope 3” emissions that many brands overlook. She emphasizes the importance of auditing campaigns, measuring emissions, and eliminating waste in the media supply chain. By optimizing targeting, frequency, and placements, companies can reduce unnecessary impressions and improve return on ad spend.Choosing sustainable partners and platforms is another key step. Boa encourages brands to prioritize agencies and publishers that use renewable energy and have verified carbon reduction goals. Communicating these efforts authentically—through case studies, blog posts, and social media—helps brands build trust and demonstrate real commitment to sustainability.Finally, Avril highlights the growing role of AI and the challenges of “walled gardens” like Google and Meta, which can complicate planning while increasing energy consumption. She advises marketers to stay agile, evaluate environmental impact alongside campaign effectiveness, and start with small improvements that scale over time. Sustainable advertising isn't just responsible—it's often more efficient and profitable.About Avril Tomlin-HoodAvril Tomlin-Hood is CEO & Founder of boa, a strategic sustainable digital media buying agency. With a focus on purpose-driven brands, she helps businesses reduce their digital carbon footprint while optimizing advertising performance and audience engagement.About boaBoa partners with companies to deliver eco-conscious media buying solutions that prioritize both performance and sustainability.

Retiring early is the ultimate dream... so when Brooke casually dropped that she’s on track to do it by 35 (without the Bank of Mum and Dad), you all screamed a collective “HOW?!” So of course, Victoria had to get her back in the studio to spill everything... and more importantly, share what the rest of us can steal from her strategy without living on two-minute noodles. Turns out, it’s not magic, she started on a $50K salary and built it dollar by dollar with smart habits, steady investing, and a money plan that’s more about options than obsession. Think of this as your crash course in Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) for people who still love a little bit of fun money. Because the real flex isn’t retiring early, it’s having the kind of financial independence that lets you choose what your dream life looks like.Inside this ep:

Paul Schatz thinks the Dow will hit 50K in 1Q26 and argues that there isn't a bubble. He does expect a pullback of 1%-3% soon, but no bear market or recession. “Momentum begets momentum, strength begets strength.” He is excited about deregulation and thinks the job market will start to improve from here.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In a recent episode, Josh Elledge interviewed Esther Weinberg, Founder & Chief Leadership Development Officer of The Ready Zone, who shared actionable strategies for building resilient leadership, cultivating strong culture, and preparing teams for sustainable growth. Drawing from her experience across entertainment and international development, Esther provides a practical roadmap for leaders navigating fast-growing organizations.Building Leadership Depth and Organizational ResilienceEsther emphasizes the “Three Ts”—Talent, Traction, and Technology—as the core pillars of scalable leadership.

Founders cannot do it alone; mid-level and senior leaders need development, clear expectations, and accountability frameworks. Esther advises using structured approaches like the Five A's—Aware, Accurate, Acquire, Accountability, and Action—to empower leaders to reflect, learn, and implement change systematically.Practical application of these principles is critical.

Unlocking the Power of Email & SMS Marketing for E-Commerce: Expert Insights from Nikita VakhrushevIn the fast-paced world of e-commerce, many brands focus heavily on acquisition channels like TikTok, Google Ads, and Instagram, often overlooking one of their most valuable assets: their existing customer list. In a recent episode, Josh Elledge spoke with Nikita Vakhrushev, CEO & Chief Strategist of Aspekt, about how e-commerce businesses can maximize revenue and retention through smart email and SMS marketing. Nikita shared actionable strategies to engage warm audiences, optimize backend flows, and leverage design and segmentation for scalable growth.The Value of Backend Marketing for E-CommerceFocusing on existing customers is often more profitable than constantly chasing new ones. Nikita emphasizes that a well-maintained warm list—subscribers who have opted in—can drive repeat purchases and boost engagement. By auditing current flows, segmenting audiences, and sending value-driven communications, brands can increase revenue while fostering long-term loyalty.Modern email and SMS marketing also demands careful attention to privacy, consent, and deliverability. Platforms must respect double opt-ins, frequency preferences, and regulatory compliance to maintain subscriber trust. Nikita recommends staying current with evolving regulations and testing messaging to optimize engagement.Finally, leveraging strategic agency support can multiply results.

Send us a textWhat if the best prep for a world-stage 50K isn't altitude at all—but rock, root, and relentless decision-making? That's the case Ben Robinson makes as we dive into his Grindstone 50K win, an OCC qualifier that doubled as redemption after a brutal DNF during a rabies vaccine saga the year before. From Pennsylvania's Roxylvania series to Alaska's Mount Marathon chaos, Ben maps a season where the Northeast's technical terrain becomes a training edge, not a compromise, and where joy beats pressure as a performance tool.We trace Ben's arc from Lock Haven long runs to short-trail evangelist, race director, and community builder. He breaks down what makes PA special—Heiner's culture, Boulder Beast's car-sized rocks, and Miller Mountain's steep, clean design—then gets specific about permitting, landowner trust, and why a cookout can be the most important gear choice of race day. We go deep on Mount Marathon strategy (cliffs vs roots), how to commit on snowfields and scree without blinking, and why downhill skill is often the true separator. He explains the switch from pro-contract pressure to free agency freedom, how self-coaching lets him fit training around a full-time job and board roles, and how rebuilding his why—love of the sport, service to others, growth through difficulty—made him faster.We also zoom out. Cirque Series growth in the Northeast? Good for the sport when courses stay honest. UTMB structure vs the Olympics? Keep the edges sharp and the terrain real. World Championships takeaways? Technical venues reveal depth; surprise performances are a feature, not a bug. Ben's near-term path points to OCC, a Javelina 100 experiment, and a Skyrunner Series return, plus bucket-list aims like Transvulcania and Western States—not as résumé items but as pilgrimages worth the work.If you're into East Coast grit, skyrunning energy, and practical insight on training, race directing, and building a life that can hold it all, this one's for you.

Send us a textWhat does it take to race at a world-class level when running itself isn't an option? We sit with Meikael Beaudoin-Rousseau to trace a brutal knee injury—down to bone—and the long, confusing road back: tendon thickening, scar pain that burns like hot iron, false starts, and a fitness base built on a handbike, arms-only swims, and an elliptical. Meika is candid about uncertainty and the daily choice to believe that today could be the first day of the comeback. Then we go deep on what that mindset looks like on the start line, from a med-tent finish at Pikes Peak to a podium at the Rut VK, and how trail racing rewards whole-body fitness even when mileage is scarce.We widen the lens to the life that makes the athlete. Meika's a tri-citizen (United States, France, Canada) who grew up in California splitting time between ocean and Sierra, now based in Boulder's running community. He talks gardening, ocean kayak fishing with whales and dolphins, and the grounding joy of catching and cooking his own food.

Deepti shares practical guidance for integrating AI, overcoming technical challenges, and maximizing the value of AI-driven workflowsThe Role of Real-Time Data in AI Agent SuccessAI agents are transforming how businesses operate, but their effectiveness hinges on real-time, accurate data. Deepti explains that AI is only as strong as the data it consumes, and fragmented or outdated data can lead to poor outcomes. Enterprises face challenges integrating AI into existing infrastructures, bridging gaps between AI teams and operational systems, and maintaining data security and freshness.Snow Leopard AI provides a platform that abstracts these infrastructure complexities, allowing AI teams to focus on business logic instead of plumbing. By connecting AI agents directly to operational data sources—ranging from SQL databases to SaaS APIs—companies can automate workflows, improve decision-making, and unlock insights that were previously siloed.For organizations beginning their AI journey, Deepti recommends starting with high-impact, low-risk use cases such as customer support, internal knowledge agents, or finance operations. Once proven, the deployment can expand to more complex workflows, leveraging both structured and unstructured data to maximize AI's value.About Deepti SrivastavaDeepti Srivastava is the Founder and CEO of Snow Leopard AI and a seasoned expert in AI infrastructure.

Why your first big loss might be the best thing that happens to you — and how to bounce back stronger. The exact steps Jeff and Megan used to scale from one trailer-parked house flip to a diversified real estate empire.

OIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS SEPTEMBER 26 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSome astro transits are fleeting but all are part of a cycle—astrology is, after all, the study of cycles! The one that's most prevalent right now is clearly represented by the repercussions of the recent Mars in Scorpio third quarter waning “crisis in consciousness” square to Pluto in Aquarius which perfected on September 24. The repercussions triggered by this Mars/Pluto square are clearly upon us now, especially here in the U.S. Don't forget that when you put Mars & Pluto together—whether its through aspects between the two or aspects between planets in their ruled signs of Aries & Scorpio—you can pretty much be assured the energies are going to be about one or more of the following subjects: money, power, control, secrets, sex, anger, &/or violence.That's why astrologer Rob Hand defines this square in his book “Planets In Transit” as a time that heralds “a serious conflict between individual energies & the energies of a group.” This becomes more obviously prevalent now because Pluto is in Uranus-ruled Aquarius, the sign of groups. “Transit cycles involving Pluto have a strange way of producing total destruction of your own ends if you take illegitimate shortcuts,” Hand continues. However, “the consequences of your deceptive actions will not be apparent until the next time transiting Mars either conjoins or opposes Pluto.” Hand is, of course, speaking of the transit of Mars to one's natal Pluto. However, I have found his description of aspects between transiting planets often to be as accurate in energetic terms as a transit to a natal chart planet. At the least, he captures the essence of the potential manifestation of archetypal aspect combinations be they solely in the sky or affecting the natal.And don't forget astrologer Michael Lutin's teaching that whenever an aspect in the sky echoes one in your individual chart, you will experience a “recurrence” of that energy.I can pretty much guarantee that there are plenty of Mars/Pluto frictional aspects in the natal charts of sexual abuse victims, such as those trafficked by sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, though there are likely other astrological indications specific to each as well. Anybody recognize how a recurrence of Mars/Pluto energy entered the collective since a number of his victims spoke out about his abuse on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. recently? And how this week's election of a new Congresswoman in Arizona put the Epstein issue front & center back in the news?According to The Hill publication on Sept 25: “Lawmakers in both parties fighting to force the Trump administration to release all the federal files on Jeffrey Epstein took a big step closer to their goal this week. Adelita Grijalva's victory on Tuesday in a special House election in southern Arizona sends another Democrat to Capitol Hill — and secures the deciding 218th signature on a discharge petition designed to compel the Justice Department to disclose the still-concealed documents related to the late child sex offender.”THERE WERE INCIDENTS & ACCIDENTS, HINTS & ALLEGATIONSRegardless, since this Mars/Pluto square—which represents the waning third quarter “crisis in consciousness” portion of the Mars/Pluto synodic cycle which began with their conjunction at 0'46” AQ on Feb 14, 2024—we've seen numerous related incidents that reflect its energies pretty accurately.“Incidents” that cannot be ignored here in America if we are to preserve our democratic system of three independent branches of government which are currently now being dissolved & destroyed under the U.S. Pluto return's ongoing energies, along with that of the current Saturn/Neptune conjunction & its cycle in Aries.Incidents such as U.S. president's statement “I hate my enemies” at Charlie Kirk's funeral, which clearly invites others to do the same. Incidents like governmentally-driven suppression of free speech & the decision by the CDC to recommend Covid vaccines ONLY to anyone over 65 or with a verifiable health issue. And then there's the agency's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) panel vote to restrict children's access to a measles-mumps-rubella vaccine known as MMRV. The panel also postponed a vote on whether all newborns should get the hepatitis B shot. Incidents such as the DoJ's indictment of former FBI director James Comey on charges even the DoJ says won't stick. Incidents such as the FBI dropping its bribery case against the now immigration czar Tom Homan who last year secretly accepted a bag filled with $50K in cash in return for “favors” when he entered government in 2025.Incidents such as learning the Secret Service dismantled a covert telecommunications network spread across five locations in the New York area that contained a system also used to transmit assassination threats against senior U.S. officials during the gathering of the world's dignitaries at the United Nations in New York City this past week.And, neither last nor least, incidents such as the looming U.S. government shutdown on October 1 based on the inability of Congress to do the “Libra thang” & negotiate & compromise to avoid such a catastrophe. Mars square Pluto doesn't compromise, after all…it's about power and those who get hurt in the process be damned…THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALLWe arrived at the first Mars/Pluto waxing first quarter “crisis in action” square on June 11, 2024, & it was July 1, 2024, when the Supreme Court granted U.S. presidents “immunity from criminal liability for…official acts,” according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU.) Thus began the time of “a serious conflict between individual energies & the energies of a group,” as Rob Hand puts it. On November 3, 2024, the day before the U.S. presidential election, Mars made its first exact opposition to Pluto. Because of Mars' retrograde period, these two opposed again late on January 2/early Jan 3, 2025, & then one more time on April 26 of this year.Rob Hand describes a Mars/Pluto opposition thusly: “If you are tempted to gain control over others, be very careful. Eventually you might find yourself opposed by everyone whom you have ever tried to rule.” Certainly sounds like something that ultimately manifested as the massive “No Kings” protest rallies around the nation, no?Meanwhile, the next time Mars & Pluto conjoin to begin a new synodic cycle will be at 3'34” Aquarius on January 27, 2026. So it's between now & then that we'll be experiencing the waning quarter of this current cycle between the two which, again, denotes a time of conflict between those in power & the energies of a group.The U.S. Pluto return brings us back to the origins (read: birth) of America, which clearly did not happen without a fight. Taxation of the colonists by the British monarchy clearly helped ignite the American Revolution, which began in 1775 & lasted until peace was formally declared in 1783.It then took the colonists' "founding fathers" until 1789 to construct a constitution, create three co-equal branches of government, inaugurate the first U.S. president & seat the first Supreme Court justices. As we look at what's happening now, especially the repercussions of the waning square of Mars in Scorpio to Pluto in Aquarius those who are paying attention can clearly see the handwriting on the wall…The question becomes: Do we want to be puppets on a string, or stand up & fight back? Even if it took something as seemingly superficial as the censoring of a late-night talk show comedian to wake the masses up, it nevertheless sparked a revolution against suppression of our democratic rights. The waning portion of this Mars/Pluto cycle advises: Don't let that spark die as the winds of suppression try to snuff it out…   Tune in to all of this & more Astro News You Can Use starting today @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingincluding the upcoming September 29 first-quarter lunar monthly square & Mercury in Libra's cardinal square to Jupiter in Cancer October 1, as we wax toward the exact Eris/Chiron conjunction in Aries October 9!

Today's Headlines: Jimmy Kimmel is back in his late-night slot after Disney admitted last week's pull was over “ill-timed” jokes—but let's be real, the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN subscriber drop probably didn't help. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is floating Tylenol in pregnancy as a cause of autism (despite zero credible evidence) and RFK's FDA is eyeing vitamin B9 treatments. Trump's border czar Tom Homan was reportedly caught on tape taking a $50K bribe from undercover FBI agents—an investigation quietly shelved once Trump returned to office. At the FBI, a new plan could brand transgender people as “nihilistic violent extremists,” a threat category so broad it risks sweeping up activists and allies. The Department of Education teamed with Turning Point and Moms for Liberty for a “patriotic civics” initiative ahead of America's 250th. Abroad, the UK, Canada, and Australia recognized Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly, while Hamas may propose a ceasefire-for-hostages deal to Trump. On the tech front, the DOJ is trying (again) to break up Google over ad dominance, Amazon faces a jury trial for making Prime too hard to cancel, and Nvidia just dropped $100 billion into OpenAI for mega data centers.

Joey also explains “Investor DNA”—matching strategies to who you are—so you stop forcing deals that don't fit and start scaling what does.     - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

In this episode of What's New with ME, we dive into three of the most talked-about stories shaking politics, media, and public trust.

No one knows what the f*ck they're doing.Not me. Not the women you pedestal. Not the 8-figure hitters you drool over.The only difference?They had the balls to move with what they had.Meanwhile, you're sitting on your sh*t like it's a secret weapon that's gonna self-activate once you finally feel “prepared.”That's why you're not making the money you're already a match for.You're telling yourself you need another certification, strategy, course.You're writing 27 drafts of content you'll never post.You're watching people half as talented as you bank $50K+ months while you convince yourself you're “not credible with your audience yet.”And for WHAT?There is no finish line where you suddenly feel ready.I've built my entire business(es) multi-six figures & this one on track for half a million in 2025 by moving anyway.By deciding I had enough to take step one.By realizing “figuring it the f*ck out” is the strategy.Every big move I've ever made looked insane in the moment:⚡️ Starting my online business literally the day I had my son.⚡️ Dropping a 70-person live event out of thin air with no “plan.”⚡️ Pitching high-ticket containers when I didn't even have the backend built yet.Your brain will always try to keep you in the loop of “not enough, yet.”But the truth? That voice never leaves.You just stop listening to it.And when you get in rooms where women are building wealth, brands, & lives that only they could create .. they're not pyramids built off of eachother?You'll realize FAST that no one has it figured out.That you just have to be ballsy enough to move while it's messy.THIS IS WHAT NGF LIVE IS.Not surface-level hype.A room of successful badasses rewriting the rules in real time & forcing you to see how much more you're capable of.If you want certainty before you move, you'll be here another year saying the same sh*t.If you want ignition, this is your room.October 17–19. Toronto.Be in it.

How to Transition from 1:1 Coaching to Profitable Group Programs: Insights from Cailen AscherFeeling stuck trading time for money as a coach or consultant? In this episode, Josh Elledge interviews Cailen Ascher, founder of Success Made Simple, to explore how she transitioned from one-on-one coaching to scalable, high-impact group programs. Cailen shares actionable strategies to create transformational group offers, price them for profit, and attract clients ready to invest—all while reclaiming your time and building a business that supports your lifestyle.Why Group Coaching WorksCailen's shift to group programs was driven by a need for freedom and flexibility as a new mom. One-on-one coaching required constant client calls, leaving little time for family or personal pursuits. By designing group programs, she was able to serve more clients in less time, reclaiming 90% of her schedule while still delivering real results.Group programs also increase income potential without requiring more hours. With a structured curriculum, coaches can generate six- or seven-figure revenue while providing deeper transformation for participants. Peer learning, accountability, and community dynamics make group programs more impactful than individual coaching alone.To make the transition successful, Cailen recommends auditing your current 1:1 work. Identify tasks and content that can be systematized, define the transformation you provide, and design a framework that works for multiple clients simultaneously. Intentional program design is the key to scaling without sacrificing quality or client experience.About Cailen AscherCailen Ascher is a business coach and founder of Success Made Simple. She helps coaches, consultants, and service providers move from time-intensive one-on-one work to profitable group programs, emphasizing efficiency, leverage, and client transformation.About Success Made SimpleSuccess Made Simple is a coaching and training platform dedicated to helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses, streamline their processes, and design programs that generate both income and freedom.

What happens when you finish a 50K…but the official results say otherwise?That's exactly what happened to me back in May when I ran the Bloodroot 50K. I crossed the finish line. I've got the pictures & the Garmin data to prove it.  But a couple weeks later, a former client emailed me to say: “Not sure if you know this, but UltrasignUp has you listed as a DNF.”Cue five months of back-and-forth with Spartan (the race organizer), unanswered emails, dead ends, and more marketing emails in my inbox than I can count.And here's the thing: this isn't about me being salty that my UltrasignUp ranking shows a DNF. I've DNF'd before - no shame there. What frustrates me is what this says about how some race organizations are treating runners.Because if this had been your first 50K? If you put your heart, soul, and Saturday mornings into training…showed up nervous but ready…crossed that finish line…and then found out you were listed as a DNF? That would sting. Bad.In this episode, I'm breaking down:The messy reality of my Bloodroot 50K results sagaWhy I think some race organizations have lost sight of their runnersWhat this experience taught me as a coach (and former RD)Why you deserve credit for your work—especially if it's your first ultraI'll keep you posted on whether Spartan ever corrects this mistake. But in the meantime, if you've had something similar happen—don't give up. Keep asking for what you've earned. You deserve to be seen.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT

Mitch Ammons is living proof that small, steady habits can transform a life.Just a few years removed from barely jogging half a mile after rehab, the Austin realtor has run 2:16:01 in the marathon, joined Bat City Track Club, won his hometown half in 1:08:32, and even stood on the start line in Boston's Professional Open Men's Field–all without ever running in college.What's his secret? Nothing flashy.Mitch leans on simple, controllable routines, like stacking threshold-heavy weeks, looped courses to calm race-day chaos, and dialing in a fueling plan he trusts.In training, he's learning to check his old “race every rep” instinct, following coach Jeff Cunningham's mantra to stay in control and always leave one in the tank.And the big dreams still burn for him, like dipping under the 2:16 Olympic Trials Qualifier, a mark he missed by seconds on a circular “micro marathon.”He's also caught the ultra-marathon bug.From a last-man-standing test of grit, to his first-ever DNF after an ankle sprain, to the belief that marathon fitness carries into the 50K distance and beyond.Running is both anchor and amplifier for Mitch, as he believes PRs matter no matter the level, and embraces being “a little nuts.”Because in the end, loops, thresholds, and habits aren't just for racing...they're for living.Tap into the Mitch Ammons Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it.Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen.If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run-THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Most recruitment firms stall at $1M revenue. Greg Fischer broke through by building a high-retention offshore team, embedding himself inside client organizations with RPO, and using LinkedIn commenting as a smarter BD strategy. As Co-Owner of AMI Network, Greg scaled from $1M to $4.2M revenue and $1.4M profit sustaining 30–40% margins. His model: hire offshore staff directly, integrate them as equals, and use a 2:1 sourcer-to-recruiter ratio to free recruiters to bill more. Alongside that, he mastered RPO pricing, transforming a $30K placement into a $1.5M account. Today, as founder of Well Oiled Machine, Greg helps other firms replicate this approach. In this episode, he shares how to structure offshore teams for 85%+ retention, qualify RPO opportunities, and win clients through LinkedIn commenting. Episode Outline and Highlights 6:42 From solo founder's first hire to 40-person team. 7:40 Breaking the $1M ceiling with offshore hiring after failed BPOs. 12:37 Why sourcing was the first offshore function and how it lifted billings. 23:18 Landing a $50K/month RPO by reframing a client's hiring challenge. 28:07 How that grew into an $80K/month RPO account with 30–40% margins. 30:45 When to pitch RPO: the minimum job volume that makes it viable. 33:47 The “open + close” fee model that stabilized cash flow. 36:23 How a 2:1 sourcer-to-recruiter ratio frees recruiters to bill more. 39:08 Why most agencies fail with offshore—and how to do it right. 47:19 Choosing the right country: Mexico vs Philippines vs South Africa. 54:51 Greg's daily LinkedIn commenting routine that built an inbound pipeline. Key Takeaways Offshore Done Right Fuels Scale Greg's agency was stuck at $1M for four years. BPOs failed, freelancers flaked. The breakthrough came when he hired offshore staff directly, trained them thoroughly, and treated them as equals. Within three years, AMI scaled to $4M+ revenue with 30–40% profit margins and 85% retention. Offshore wasn't a cheap fix; it was the lever that freed recruiters to focus on revenue-driving work. The RPO Question That Unlocks Recurring Revenue A referral asked for an internal recruiter. Greg's partner asked: “Why now?” The answer—50 hires in six months—turned a $30K placement into a $50K/month retainer that ran three years, worth $1.5M. His rule: RPO only works with 5–10 requisitions/month and $15K+ revenue. Anything less is contingent search. Over time, he moved to an “open fee + closed fee” model that kept revenue flowing and profit margins at 30–40%. LinkedIn Strategic Commenting Works Greg built AMI Network through cold outbound. For Well Oiled Machine, he went another route: commenting daily on posts from 60 recruitment thought leaders. Thirty minutes before posting, thirty minutes after. The results? Comments hitting 20,000+ impressions—often outperforming original posts. On LinkedIn, comments are content, and for agency owners this is a repeatable, low-cost BD strategy that beats cold calling. Greg Fischer Bio and Contact Info Greg is the former Co-Owner of AMI Network, a healthcare recruitment agency that did $1.4M in Profit on just $4.2M in revenue. His secret? 18 of his 40 team members were Offshore high-performing employees, with annual retention over 85%. Now his firm, Well Oiled Machine recruits Offshore & Nearshore staff for Recruitment Firms & Staffing Agencies.
