Johnny Mac recaps comedy news, led by Stephen Colbert returning to TV the night after The Late Show ended by guest-hosting the Monroe, Michigan public-access show Only in Monroe, featuring guests/cameos including Jack White, Byron Allen, Eminem, Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Daniels, plus local food bits; Colbert previously hosted in 2015. Paramount/CBS issued copyright takedown notices after uploads appeared online, then told Variety it was standard practice against unauthorized posts and waived further enforcement. The Late Show finale drew 6.74M viewers vs Letterman's 13.76M final and Colbert's 2015 premiere 6.55M; Mac says the finale and Colbert's run had little impact on him. The Times of London argues Tim Dillon represents an internet-era successor to late-night, citing younger audiences and cost/format challenges, plus comments about YouTube economics and an upcoming Ben Gleib YouTube show. Other items: Chelsea Handler backlash over calling Shane Gillis' roast joke “worse than rape,” Robbie Hoffman criticized for dismissive celiac comments, and sightings of Kevin Hart in Vegas, Adam Sandler in Vancouver filming Time Out, John Oliver in Baltimore, and Drew Carey attacking LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt. 00:18 Colbert Goes Public Access02:52 CBS Colbert Takedowns Explained03:58 Late Show Finale Ratings04:23 Host Reacts to Finale05:16 Tim Dillon as Successor06:09 Late Night vs YouTube07:03 Chelsea Handler Roast Backlash09:50 Robbie Hoffman Celiac Controversy11:09 Gossip Corner Celebrity Sightings Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening. $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

Interview with Xin Yan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sign, a sovereign-grade digital infrastructure for national systems of money, identity, and capital. By Selva Ozelli Esq., CPA, Author of "Sustainably Investing in Digital Assets Globally" Xin Yan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sign, a sovereign-grade digital infrastructure for national systems of money, identity, and capital. Under his leadership, Sign has raised a total of $55 million. Other major backers include YZi Labs, IDG Capital, Sequoia and Circle. Trends to watch with Xin Yan An electrical engineer by profession, before co founding Sign in 2021, Xin served as an investor at Huobi Group. What started as an e-signature tool (EthSign) Sign has expanded into Sign Protocol, an omni-chain attestation protocol, and TokenTable, a platform for managing and distributing tokenized assets that bridge the gap between traditional legal agreements and blockchain technology. Yan advocates digital identity and sovereign technology, arguing that the next stage of blockchain adoption will be driven by real-world utility and revenue rather than just speculation. He often refers to the community and movement surrounding the protocol as the "Orange Dynasty". Xin's work currently centers on digital sovereignty, onchain verification, and building infrastructure for nation-states, including digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Yan is actively working with governments (e.g., in the UAE and Sierra Leone) to implement blockchain-enabled national infrastructure. Tell us about your educational and professional journey leading up to co-founding Sign. I was an electronic engineer by training, secured over 10 patents at school before dive-dropping into crypto by building my own mining rigs. That hands-on experience led me to a leading VC, where I spent three years as an investment manager and engineer backing cornerstone projects like Polkadot and Avalanche. In 2021, I combined that technical grit with my VC insights to co-found Sign. Tell us about Sign Sign builds secure infrastructure for digital money, identity, and capital. Sign has five years of production deployments and has reached a valuation of $1.3billion. Its systems support governments and regulated institutions in delivering secure, large-scale digital transformation, reaching more than 50 million people in production. Sign works with countries like UAE, Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, Barbados and Sierra Leone. Most recently, Sign partnered with the Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi and has raised over $55M across three funding rounds. Your work at Sign currently centers on digital sovereignty, on-chain verification, and building infrastructure for nation-states, including digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Which countries are you actively working with? Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, Barbados and Sierra Leone The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a leading global cryptocurrency hub, currently ranked third globally in crypto adoption behind only Singapore and Hong Kong. Its status is defined by a "pro-innovation" regulatory environment, zero personal income tax on crypto gains, and the presence of over 1,800 crypto companies as of early 2026. The UAE's central bank digital currency (CBDC) project, known as the Digital Dirham, has transitioned from an experimental pilot to a formal legal reality as of early 2026 with the Digital Dirham officially recognized as legal tender under Federal Decree-Law No. 6 of 2025. Managed by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), this initiative is a core pillar of the nation's multi-year Financial Infrastructure Transformation (FIT) program. How is Sign involved with UAE's CBCD project? Sign and ADBC recently partnered to accelerate sovereign blockchain infrastructure in Abu Dhabi. In 2026, the tokenization of the world financial market is rapidly advancing through stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which function as programmable, on-chain cash for ...

What happens when you build a $20M business... and then lose it all? Stephen Diaz didn't just survive — he rebuilt from scratch using the exact same playbook that got him there the first time. Stephen started as a wedding photographer. After discovering the power of funnels and the challenge model, he and his wife Chelsey built Rainmaker Family into one of the fastest-growing coaching companies in America — 120 employees, $3M months, Inc. 5000 #148. Then three things hit at once: a public disparagement campaign, their Instagram account got taken down, and tariffs tanked demand in their market overnight. He went from $20M/year to $1M in debt, laying off 100 people in the process. What he did next is the whole point of this episode. In this conversation Stephen breaks down: How he found the ClickFunnels playbook and scaled to 8 figures with a challenge funnel The three punches that nearly bankrupted a $55M business What it was like to lay off 100 people — and have 44 of them volunteer to come back for free How he rebuilt an entirely new business in under a year using AI The "earlier is better" funnel principle that doubled his opt-in rate His 30/30/30 rule for keeping margins healthy as you scale Why he believes the same funnel framework works in any market This one is raw, honest, and packed with real numbers. If you're building something right now — or rebuilding — this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Niche Pursuits podcast, Jared sits down with Jamie I.F. for a brutally honest look at the Helpful Content Update and how a ~40% traffic and revenue drop torpedoed a $1.55M site deal mid-sale. He shares what it felt like watching peak months near $100K turn into a much smaller baseline, and why he stopped chasing an SEO recovery and chose focus instead. Jamie explains how a single customer saying they'd pay $2,500/month for an "affiliate finder" feature led him to spin it into affiliatefinder.ai, then grow with cold outreach (including ~1,000 emails) and paid ads.

Send us a textIn this episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, host Tim Gerdeman and technology analyst James Kisner are joined by Nikolas Bullwinkel, Founder and CEO of Circus SE (Frankfurt: CA1). Bullwinkel previously co-founded quick commerce company Flink, scaling it to a multi-billion Euro valuation before launching Circus to bring full autonomy to the trillion-dollar food service industry. The CA-1 robot replaces entire canteen operations in hospitals, airports, and corporate environments—producing 100 meals per hour with integrated AI, sensors, and the proprietary Circus OS software platform. Bullwinkel highlights the company's razor-blade business model, with each robot adding approximately €100k in annual recurring revenue. Defense applications are accelerating as armed forces seek to modernize logistics infrastructure, with Circus's container-based CA-M deploying in minutes versus hours for traditional field kitchens. With 800,000 meals tested, 40 patents, production partner Celestica ramping capacity, and an order book exceeding 500 units, Bullwinkel characterizes 2026 revenue guidance of €44-55M as conservative and outlines a long-term vision for building a global nutrition intelligence platform.
Send us a textWhat if the difference between stalling at $8M and exiting at $55M wasn't luck, but a set of repeatable choices about people, process, and stage-fit hiring? That's the jump Ryan Hogan made, and we unpack exactly how he did it—from the hard lessons of a viral zombie race that crashed to the systems and recruiting moves that helped Hunt A Killer scale fast without losing its soul.We start with the foundation most founders skip: vision, mission, and values that actually drive decisions. Ryan explains why talent sits on top of that foundation—and why mis-hires rarely come from bad resumes, but from poorly defined problems and vague expectations. We dig into the mistake of hiring a leader from a $100M company to run a $25M org, and how to find operators who have done the exact jump you need right now. You'll hear how to set roles by outcomes, not titles, run a blank-slate org chart to reveal gaps, and reset expectations with early hires as the company evolves.Then we get tactical on recruiting. Real recruiting isn't posting and praying; it's outbound sourcing, targeted outreach, and selling a meaningful mission to candidates who aren't looking. Ryan shares why small and midsize companies need expert, stage-aware recruiting to win, how structured interviews and reference loops beat gut feel, and how EOS and peer groups like Vistage create the cadence and accountability to keep teams aligned as complexity grows. The result is a blueprint for building teams that scale, stay aligned, and deliver measurable outcomes under real-world constraints.If you're a founder, operator, or hiring manager who wants compounding growth without the cultural hangover, this conversation gives you the playbook: hire for the stage you're in, design the org you actually need, and treat recruiting like the competitive advantage it is. If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a builder who needs it, and leave a quick review—tell us the one hiring move you'll change this quarter.Support the show

Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ What if physicians could co-invest in $55M industrial parks alongside a $12B family office without $100K consultants or high-risk leverage? In this insightful episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming interviews Jonathan Spitz from Lightstone Direct, the new direct-to-investor arm of 40-year-old powerhouse Lightstone Group. Jonathan shares the firm's vertically integrated model (25K apartments, 12M sq ft industrial, 5K hotel keys), why they commit 20% of their own capital first (5-10x industry norms), and how physicians can diversify beyond stocks or DIY rentals. He breaks down direct vs. passive CRE, asset class pitfalls (office flops vs. industrial wins), and red flags like inexperienced managers or 85% debt. With examples like their Greenville industrial deal, Jonathan proves alignment and conviction drive better outcomes empowering busy doctors to build legacy wealth safely. If you're a high-income physician eyeing real estate for tax efficiency and passive income, this is your guide to investing like institutions without the headaches. Three Actionable Takeaways: Decide direct vs. passive: If time-strapped, skip hands-on rentals for platforms like Lightstone Direct, vet managers on track record, cycles navigated, and skin in game (aim for 20%+). Passive reduces risks like tenant concentration; focus on assets like industrial for steady returns over volatile office or retail. Qualify and evaluate: As accredited (200K/300K income or 1M net worth), request decks/PPMs/operating agreements. Ask: Debt levels? Exit strategies? Risk mitigation? Compare projected IRRs realistically—avoid 20%+ promises tied to high leverage. Prioritize alignment where sponsors invest heavily first for shared incentives.

Bicycle touring numbers feel like they're down—fewer loaded panniers on the road, Adventure Cycling Association facing major financial headwinds, and a lot of long-time tourers quietly aging out. But is touring actually in decline, or is it just shifting into something that looks different—like bikepacking, gravel, and shorter, more flexible trips? In this episode I dig into Adventure Cycling's recent membership and financial update, talk through generational and economic trends, and explore whether we're seeing the end of an era… or just the end of one version of it. Is Bicycle Touring in Decline? What the ACA Letter Tells Us Recent email to ACA membership on a vote regarding selling their building in Missoula Membership down from almost 40,000 in 2023 to about 18,000 today. Donations down. Demand for guided tours has softened. Sales of maps/routes have dropped with free digital tools and GPS routes everywhere. Their diagnosis Members aging out of cycling. Some people don't feel enough value in a paid membership. Travel patterns are changing; inflation and costs are up; maybe fewer people committing to long guided tours. The building sale piece: ACA can sell their big, underutilized Missoula headquarters for ~$2.55M, then lease back just the space they need. The goal is to buy a "runway" of a few years to rebuild membership and modernize programs (digital experience, routes, tours, events). This is serious—membership halving in a couple of years is not a blip. But this is one institution. It's a single data point, not the whole story. Is ACA's Crisis Proof That Touring Is Dying? Possible "touring is in trouble" interpretation: If the biggest U.S. touring org is shrinking, maybe demand really is falling. Fewer people willing to pay for routes, maps, and guided tours could indicate less interest in traditional loaded touring. Alternative explanations: Value perception problem: If you can download GPX routes for free, people might not feel like they need a membership. Younger riders may not connect with a membership model or a print magazine in the same way. Business model problem vs. touring problem: Guided tours and paper maps are specific products. Those can decline even if DIY touring thrives. If a streaming-era kid doesn't buy DVDs, it doesn't mean movies are dead—just that the business model changed. Same question here: is ACA Blockbuster, or are movies in trouble? The Aging Out Effect The ACA explicitly mentions aging out of cycling. Talk through generational dynamics: A lot of classic touring energy came from the boomers and older Gen X. Long, multi-week tours require time, health, and often retirement or very flexible work. People aging out doesn't necessarily mean the activity is dying, but: If younger generations aren't replacing those numbers, you get a visible decline. Touring can look intimidating: expensive gear, big time commitments, safety fears. Possible barriers for younger riders: Student debt, unstable housing, fewer long chunks of vacation, higher baseline anxiety around traffic and climate disasters (heat, smoke, extreme weather). The Rise of Bikepacking and Off-Road Travel Ttouring may just be changing costume: More folks are drawn to bikepacking and gravel: lighter gear, off-road routes, "adventure" branding. Social media and brands push a certain aesthetic: frame bags, dirt roads, epic photography. Contrast vibes: Classic touring: fenders, racks, panniers, highways, small towns, campgrounds. Bikepacking: singletrack/doubletrack, BLM land, forest roads, more "expedition-y", often shorter but punchier trips. If someone is out for five days with bags on their bike, sleeping outside and moving every day… and we're calling that bikepacking instead of touring… did touring really decline, or did it just get relabeled? Is bikepacking now the umbrella term for bike adventuring? Is It Just a (pardon the pun) Cycle? Historical perspective: There was a big touring boom in the 1970s and again mini-waves around the early 2000s . We thought the 2020 COVID bike boom would impact things, but did it? Outdoor sports often rise and fall with the economy, culture, and media stories. Economic cycle: High inflation, higher travel costs, and general uncertainty can make long trips harder. At the same time, travel has become more fragmented: people take 3-day trips instead of 3-week odysseys. Cultural cycle: Right now, gravel and ultra-events (Unbound, etc.) get the headlines. Touring is slow and unsexy by comparison. Slow unsexy things tend to look "dead" for a while… until the next backlash against all the hype and burnout. We might be in the hangover phase after the COVID bike boom and a big cultural swing toward short, 'epic' experiences. Other Factors That Make Touring Feel Smaller Safety and traffic fears: distracted driving, speed, road rage, social media amplifying every horror story. Climate and weather extremes: heat domes, wildfire smoke, storms—touring has always danced with weather, but now the dice feel loaded. Information overload: paradoxically, infinite online info can make people freeze and not choose any tour. Shift to micro-touring: overnighters, weekend campouts, credit-card touring instead of epic cross-country runs. That looks less visible on the ACA radar but might be the real growth area. What ACA's Plan Signals About the Future Positive outlook: Selling an underused building to buy time to modernize could be a good sign. It's a choice to adapt instead of slowly bleed out. They're explicitly planning to invest in: More routes and route updates Digital and website improvements Stronger advocacy tools Expanded tours and member events The big question: Can an organization built around old touring models reinvent itself for a world of bikepacking, GPS, and dispersed, remote communities? Will they pivot toward being the hub for all forms of bike travel, not just pannier touring? Final Take: Is Touring Actually in Decline? Yes, in the classic sense. Fewer people paying for memberships, maps, and guided pannier tours. The touring demographic that built ACA is shrinking and aging. No, if you widen the definition. Bikepacking, mixed-surface, overnighters, and "ride-to-your-Airbnb" trips are essentially touring by another name. People are still traveling by bicycle; they're just doing it with different gear and routes. Mostly, it's in a messy transition. Legacy institutions and business models are under intense pressure. New formats (digital communities, route-sharing platforms, YouTube, social media) are where a lot of the energy lives now. The story isn't "touring is dying"—it's "touring is migrating." Go on any kind of bike trip—overnight, credit-card, dirt, paved, doesn't matter. Support whichever orgs, creators, or communities actually help them get out the door (ACA, local groups, creators, etc.). If you're an ACA member, vote on the building sale by November 24. Whatever side you land on it seems like this will likely define things for ACA for the next several years. •Bike touring has always been a niche. The question isn't whether the niche survives—it's what form it takes for the next generation. And we all get to shape that.

Feeling like healthcare makes early retirement impossible? It's a common belief, but often fixable with thoughtful income planning. Premium tax credits under the ACA aren't vanishing; the enhanced credits are scheduled to sunset after 2025, and the pre-2021 rules (including the ~400% FPL income cap) are slated to return in 2026 unless Congress acts. The takeaway: managing MAGI matters.In this episode, Ari Taublieb, CFP®, walks through a practical, illustrative case: a 60-year-old couple with ~$1.55M spread across taxable, pre-tax, and Roth accounts. You'll see how the source of withdrawals (e.g., harvesting from taxable accounts vs. large pre-tax distributions) can change MAGI—and therefore subsidy eligibility—potentially lowering Marketplace premiums materially. You'll also learn key HSA rules after age 65 (non-medical withdrawals are taxed as income but no 20% penalty) and what's changing for HSAs in 2026: Bronze and Catastrophic ACA plans are slated to be HSA-eligible, expanding access to tax-advantaged saving.You'll leave with a playbook: align cash-flow needs with tax brackets, plan around the 400% FPL threshold, coordinate Roth/pre-tax/taxable withdrawals, and revisit the plan annually as laws and income shift.

Join the FFTV Discord server for free - https://discord.gg/xG436HXuch Wolfie is back on Forest Fan TV with a fresh transfer update, bringing a major twist in the Morgan Gibbs-White saga with Tottenham Hotspur. Reports today suggest Spurs are contemplating upping their bid to £65M for the England midfielder, despite Forest's legal threats over an alleged illegal approach and the £60M release clause already triggered. Wolfie dissects this latest development—will the higher offer sway Forest, or will Marinakis dig in deeper to keep MGW? Dive into the latest with us! The transfer carousel spins on with updates on Yoane Wissa, Forest's long-term target from Brentford, whose future remains uncertain amid interest from multiple clubs, including Newcastle and Spurs. Wolfie breaks down how Wissa's potential move could impact Forest's attacking options, especially with Anthony Elanga's £55M exit still fresh. Plus, there's exciting news on a potential deal for Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey, with talks reportedly heating up—could the versatile midfielder be the replacement if Gibbs-White departs? Get the full scoop here! This is your chance to weigh in—drop your thoughts in the comments on whether £65M will seal the Gibbs-White deal, where Wissa's future lies, and if Ramsey is the right fit for Nuno's squad. Wolfie shares his take on Forest's transfer strategy and reacts to the day's breaking news.
