In another lively episode of The Chad and Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman, Chad Sowash, and J.T. O'Donnell blend humor with industry insights. The show tackles a grim industry shake-up: CareerBuilder and Monster's job board business is being sold to JobGet amid Chapter 11 bankruptcy. JobGet's gobbling distressed assets like Snagajob, but Chad questions the strategy, as these “misfit toys” boost revenue without growth. Unsecured creditors, like Jobverse ($2.7M) and TextKernel ($2.2M), are owed $25.5M and may see little, while Apollo's insulated. J.T. urges job boards to innovate or perish. Dice's layoffs (100+ in sales and engineering) reflect a revenue plunge (Q4 2024 down 14%, Q1 2025 down 18%). Chad blames Dice's failure to evolve, stuck in an innovator's dilemma like Monster. Automation shines (kinda): Tesla's Austin robotaxi launch ($4.20/ride) had hiccups, while Walmart's robots unload trucks at 580 boxes/hour, easing grueling jobs. Yet, displaced workers face risks, and new remote roles could fuel infinite workday burnout. A YouTuber's In-N-Out lawsuit underscores brand risks, emphasizing HR's need to adapt with quality-focused, streamlined talent management in a turbulent market.

Stephen Petasky is the founder and CEO of The Luxus Group, a hospitality and development firm specializing in luxury vacation homes, global restorations, and high-end resort communities. Over nearly two decades, he's raised more than $100 million, facilitated 20,000 vacations, and partnered with brands like Four Seasons to deliver premium lifestyle experiences through real estate. His business journey spans from fractional home ownership to international development, all driven by a passion for design, family travel, and scalability.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Stephen started Luxus by solving his own problem—traveling with young kids—and turned that into a $100M global vacation home portfolio. Raising capital gets easier when the investment includes a dual purpose, like lifestyle use alongside financial return. Scaling a business requires building it “back to front”—start with the exit goal, then reverse engineer every step. Real estate and development success takes patience; some ventures took 7–10+ years to turn profitable. Subject matter expertise becomes a valuable asset after years of refinement, leading to higher-impact, lower-risk projects.     Topics How a Personal Travel Need Became a Syndicated Real Estate Venture Started Luxus to create a family-friendly alternative to hotels or inconsistent vacation rentals. Solved the problem of predictability, comfort, and flexibility by imagining ownership of 30 homes—then invited others to co-invest. Raised $3.5M to purchase three homes; word-of-mouth demand led to $100M+ raised and 50 properties acquired. Dual-Purpose Investing: Lifestyle + Returns Investors received lifestyle benefits—discounted nightly rates—alongside capital preservation. These vacation privileges created real financial savings, boosting total return beyond simple IRR metrics. Stephen compares the model to a “golf club that sells at the end”—with liquidity and upside built in. How to Make Raising Capital Easier Dual-purpose investments or vendor-aligned capital (e.g., landowners or contractors investing) make raises more compelling. Giving investors experiential or operational upside increases buy-in—even when the financial returns are moderate. Partnerships built on aligned interests are more resilient over time. Scaling With Clarity and Hindsight Luxus' new business model was built “back to front,” starting with a $100M valuation target and working backward to day one. Planning for bottlenecks—legal, financial, tech, or operational—can reduce future breakdowns. AI tools now help model scalable pathways and highlight structural weak points before launch. New Ventures: Management, Development, and Restorations Luxus now manages luxury short-term rentals it doesn't own, applying hotel-like service and strategy. Stephen is a core partner in the Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas ($1.3B sellout). The company also restores centuries-old Tuscan estates for North American and European clients—12 years in, with a waitlist.

Buckle up for an eye-opening episode where Jaryd Krause is joined by powerhouse entrepreneur and investor Justin Williams—a man who’s navigated everything from crippling six-figure debt to building and selling a multimillion-dollar business. Justin’s journey is far from ordinary. After dropping out of college, he and his wife, Tara, left their careers to pursue financial freedom. Their first business left them $120,000 in debt, living in a shared house with a newborn. Instead of quitting, they shifted to real estate, flipping over 100 houses a year and launching House Flipping HQ, a real estate education company that helped thousands succeed. Justin revealed how he sold his real estate education business for over $3.5 million—covering the why, when, and how. They dive into the unconventional yet strategic deal structure when selling to an operator already in the business. Then he delved into wealth building through business and real estate. Justin explains if he’d buy an online business, how he’d finance it, and the math behind buying a $2M business, hiring an operator, and earning $300K net profit annually without running it himself. Gain insights on: ✔️ When is the right time to sell your business?✔️ The differences between investing in real estate vs. digital businesses✔️ How to build sustainable wealth without burning out✔️ And most powerfully—how Justin got through the lowest points of his journey. If you're looking for real talk about business, money, mindset, and freedom, this is the episode for you. Don’t miss this raw, high-energy conversation that’s packed with strategy, real numbers, and heart. Whether you're planning your first acquisition, prepping for a sale, or just needing motivation to keep pushing, this one will hit home. Episode Highlights 03:00 – The journey to selling a $3.5M+ online business and lessons learned 08:20 – Using SBA loans to buy businesses vs. buying without them – pros, cons, and examples 10:50 – Buying businesses you don’t operate: how Justin makes it work and what to look for 17:35 – How Justin handled $120K in debt and overcame early financial struggles 23:40 – Managing expectations: The reality behind case studies and quick success stories 28:20 – Balancing ambition with lifestyle: Prioritizing family, health, and business growth 38:50 – Building habits and mentality for consistent progress versus just grinding Key Takeaways ➥ Everyone’s journey is different—don’t let case studies make you feel behind. ➥ Selling his $3.5M business was a strategic move to gain freedom and shift into a new season of life. ➥ A clean, simple business model and solid financials were critical in structuring a successful sale. ➥ SBA loans can be powerful tools for acquiring businesses, but creative financing is often just as effective. ➥ You don’t always have to operate the businesses you buy—systems, leadership, and delegation are key. ➥ Real estate offers stability while business offers higher returns—knowing when to lean into each is crucial. ➥ Long-term vision and emotional resilience helped Justin overcome $120K in debt and build real wealth. About Justin Williams Justin Williams dropped out of college with a bold vision, convincing his wife, Tara, to leave her teaching job so they could start their first business. But their million-dollar dream quickly turned into a $120,000 debt nightmare. Determined to turn things around, they hustled out of debt and pivoted to real estate, eventually flipping 100 houses a year. Their success led them to launch House Flipping HQ, helping others build thriving real estate businesses. After selling the company, they took time off to focus on investments and new ventures.Now, as the founders of Millionaire University, their mission is simple: help people "graduate rich, NOT broke."

Goodbye Postcode Restrictions ... & Hello Distance Restrictions! Big changes (again) are reshaping NDIS lending landscape, and in this episode, Debbie sits down with Paul Grant from Axis Lending to unpack the latest finance requirements for NDIS property investing, from their perspective as a Mortgage Manager.This episode only relates to Origin, the largest wholesale NDIS lender across Australia, and this information discussed doesn't apply to other lenders in this SDA space.Late last year in 2024 we saw significant tightening of eligibility criteria, including new income thresholds ($250K+ household income or $2.5M+ net assets for "sophisticated investors") and geographic restrictions. But as of this week (23rd June 2025), the rules have evolved again - with major implications for investors and participants alike.Key changes include:✔️ Postcode restrictions replaced by distance-based rules (50km from Sydney CBD, 25km from other capitals)✔️ Lending based on 100% alternate use value in major cities (80% in larger regional centres)✔️ Stronger focus on owner-occupiers and families, who may now qualify for better terms - possibly even standard home loans✔️ Stricter SMSF requirements, including mandatory upfront Statements of Financial Advice✔️ Compulsory Due Diligence reports for all purchasesWhy does this all matter? These changes reflect a maturing market - one that prioritises sustainable investments while ensuring quality housing for participants. While investor activity has slowed, the focus on sophisticated buyers and owner-occupiers points to a more stable future.

Topics:Pre-LOI: How Independent Sponsors Win DealsLOI Execution: Structure, Risks, MistakesGood vs. Bad Post-LOI DiligenceWhat Attracts and Repels Capital...and so much more.Top TakeawaysRollover is your edge against strategics. Strategic buyers often can't offer it. Independent sponsors can—that's your edge. Typical range is 10–40%, and when structured well, the second bite can be worth more than the first. It aligns incentives, keeps sellers engaged, and shows you're building with them instead of just buying them out.An LOI isn't a victory if it's not fundable. Signing an LOI with mispriced risk, unrealistic earnouts, or soft terms might feel like a win, but it's not fundable. Capital partners will walk, and worse, re-cutting terms after signing can fracture trust with the seller. John's advice: pressure-test your LOI with capital providers before it reaches the seller's desk. Call out red flags early—or risk killing the deal later. Strong diligence starts with a clear timeline, experienced advisors, and structured checkpoints to raise red flags before they become roadblocks. John warns that bad diligence often means avoiding tough conversations about risk. If you're not surfacing problems early, you're setting yourself up for failure post-LOI.Stay exit-ready from day one post-close. Even if you're planning to hold for five years, act like you'll sell in two. That means clean financials, documented systems, and clear growth metrics. You never know when the perfect buyer will come knocking. The sponsors who are prepared are the ones who cash in early.Choose advisors who know the IS model, not just deals in general. John shares that many first-time independent sponsors make the mistake of hiring advisors who don't understand the nuances of independent sponsor deals, like capital stack structuring or running a capital raise alongside diligence. Look for professionals who have worked on multiple independent sponsor transactions and understand the pressure points before and after the LOI.About John KoeppelJohn Koeppel is a Partner at Lippes Mathias, where he leads the firm's Private Equity and Independent Sponsor practice. With 25+ years of experience, John has structured and closed 250+ deals ranging from $5M to $250M+. His work has earned recognition from Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA, and Super Lawyers.About Lippes MathiasLippes Mathias is a full-service law firm that advises independent sponsors, family offices, and institutional investors throughout the full lifecycle of a transaction—from LOI to exit.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for June 18th Publish Date:  June 18th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, June 18th and Happy Birthday to Paul McCartney. I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Marietta Approves Data Center on Bells Ferry Cobb County Protesters Flood the Streets for 'No Kings' Protests 6-Year-Old Injured in Smyrna Vehicle Shootout; Two Men Arrested All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: Marietta Approves Data Center on Bells Ferry The Marietta City Council approved a data center on Bells Ferry Road, sparking mixed reactions. Atlanta-based MMM Acquisitions plans a $100M campus with two buildings and a substation. Attorney Kevin Moore emphasized its role in supporting AI and digital services, generating $71.5M in tax revenue over 10 years. Critics, including residents and protesters, raised concerns about energy use, environmental impacts, and limited job creation. Moore countered that advanced cooling systems would minimize water consumption and disruptions. Supporters, like Mayor Steve Tumlin, hailed the project as a win for Marietta's growth. The 31-acre site will include buffers to shield nearby neighborhoods. STORY 2: Cobb County Protesters Flood the Streets for 'No Kings' Protests Marietta saw hundreds protest as part of the nationwide "No Kings" movement opposing President Donald Trump. Organized to coincide with Trump’s birthday and military parade in D.C., protests in east Cobb and downtown Marietta attracted diverse participants advocating for issues like LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, and equity. Protesters carried handmade signs and received honks of support from passing cars, though negative comments also arose. Demonstrations at the Cobb Courthouse and Johnson Ferry remained peaceful, with no arrests reported. Participants, including educators and families, criticized Trump's policies, calling for justice and empathy while rejecting the idea of centralized power.

Break: TOP TECH_FINAL STORY 4: Safety, Literacy and Cell Phones: Rivera Reflects on Marietta School Year Marietta Superintendent Grant Rivera reflected on the 2024-25 school year, celebrating literacy advancements, safety upgrades, and student success. About 586 students graduated at Northcutt Stadium, a proud moment for Rivera. The district expanded its Literacy and Justice for All initiative into middle grades, backed by a $1.1M grant, aiming to improve reading skills at all levels. Controversy centered on cellphone policies, with debates leading to a new high school pilot limiting device use in class. Security was bolstered with detectors and AI surveillance. Despite budget constraints, Marietta maintained programs and approved raises, reinforcing its commitment to students and staff. STORY 5: Leashing Dogs at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area welcomes dogs on its trails but stresses a key rule: dogs must always be on a six-foot leash. With over three million annual visitors, leashes ensure safety for pets, people, and the environment. Past incidents with unleashed dogs have led to plant damage, injuries, and confrontations, highlighting the importance of this rule. Leashing also protects dogs from dangers like snakes, coyotes, and unsafe water. To promote responsible pet ownership, CRNRA offers the B.A.R.K. Ranger program, teaching leash etiquette and trail safety. Participants can earn certificates and make their dogs official B.A.R.K. Rangers. Break: INGLES 5 STORY 6: Drug trafficking investigation nets 11 arrests Law enforcement in Middle Georgia recently concluded Operation "Westside Wakeup," targeting gang-related crimes. The Bibb County Sheriff's Office, assisted by Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr's Gang Prosecution Unit, arrested 11 individuals on charges tied to drugs, guns, and violence. Authorities seized 17 pounds of marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy, fentanyl, firearms, and $110,000 in cash, highlighting the connection between illicit drug operations and organized crime. Sheriff David J. Davis stressed the need to combat such activities, while AG Chris Carr vowed accountability for violent offenders. Federal agencies, including the FBI and DEA, played key roles in the investigation's success. STORY 7: Georgia Power completes hydrogen fuel test Georgia Power and Mitsubishi Power completed a groundbreaking test using a 50% hydrogen and natural gas blend at Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Smyrna, cutting carbon emissions by 22%. This world-first trial follows a 2022 test with a 20% blend. Natural gas, accounting for 40% of Georgia Power’s energy, remains crucial for flexibility and baseload power. The company’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan proposes hydrogen-capable turbines at Plant Yates to further reduce emissions. While this innovation marks progress, environmental groups remain critical of Georgia Power’s reliance on natural gas and coal. The plan awaits a PSC vote on July 15. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: TOP TECH_FINAL Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Sasha Plavsic, Founder of ILIA Beauty, the clean cosmetics brand known for redefining performance makeup, opens up about what it took to build a $100M business from a garage and a $25,000 line of credit. In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Sasha shares how a deeply personal quest to heal her skin led to the creation of ILIA, a brand that went on to help define the "clean beauty" category alongside industry giants like Sephora. But behind the brand's success story lies an untold reality of burnout, identity loss, and a literal health collapse that forced her to reckon with the cost of carrying it all. From almost closing ILIA's doors to hiring a CEO and eventually selling a majority stake to the Courtin-Clarins family, Sasha walks us through the most defining and difficult moments of her journey.  Whether you're bootstrapping your first venture or navigating scale, Sasha's story is a powerful reminder that success should never come at the cost of your health or your joy.   Key Takeaways and Topics: How Sasha built ILIA Beauty from a garage with no outside funding for the first 7 years The personal skin struggles that led her to question conventional beauty products Why she rejected the “all natural” label and pioneered a hybrid formulation model Early setbacks, including being told labs couldn't make the products she envisioned The pivotal moment she considered shutting ILIA down—and what saved it The decision to hire a CEO and why it was the best move for the brand and her health How ILIA scaled from $5M to $100M, eventually catching the eye of the Courtin-Clarins family The physical collapse that forced Sasha to finally slow down—her kidneys started shutting down How hustle culture and perfectionism nearly cost her life, and what she's doing differently now The guilt and double standards faced by working mothers and women founders How Sasha protects her energy today: boundaries, executive coaching, and saying “no” Her advice to founders: trust your gut, delegate what drains you, and stop trying to do it all   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

Ajay Prakash, Co-Founder & CEO of Rinse shares his story getting raising $70M and how they launched to hit product-market fit! 03:06 – Ajay explains how he wasted three months pitching Series A firms for a seed round. 05:03 – Don't try to predict who will write a check — talk to everyone qualified, but do it in a tight time frame to keep momentum and focus. 06:03 – Their first capital came from a rolling friends & family round — with no set close — raising ~$500–600K before institutional funding. 07:04 – Ajay's co-founder saw declining traffic at his parents' dry cleaning store — they tested an idea within two weeks and got paying customers. 09:02 – Rinse didn't solve one big issue — it solved many small ones. That made the case for building a better, end-to-end dry cleaning experience. 12:14 – Unlike Uber's urgent need, laundry is a chronic pain. Rinse focused on reliability and consistency, not instant gratification. 15:22 – They focused their launch in three SF zip codes to manage operational complexity and ensure quality service before scaling. 16:04 – Ajay and James only began paying themselves once the $2.5M seed round closed in December 2014. 20:07 – He spent Spring 2014 chasing Series A investors with no success — a misalignment that wasted valuable time and delayed their seed raise. 29:06 – Don't let VCs drag things out with vague interest. You need clarity to survive as an early-stage startup. Rinse is creating a seamless dry cleaning & laundry experience for our customers through a combination of technology, incredible customer service, and strong back-end partnerships. www.rinse.com

Berlin is losing its publicly-funded Nextbike system. What does it say about the city's deflating civic status? Also we meet the artistic director of the Doxumentale film festival to hear why they've added an X to their name. And the founder of Give Something Back to Berlin will tell us about how beauty parlours are places of feminist empowerment.  Nextbike has lost its €1.5M annual public funding to run a discounted shared bicycle system across Berlin. The CDU-led city-state government says it is too broke to fund the scheme, which ran since 2017, and reached 4 million journeys last year. Joel explains what's behind its demise. Days before the start of Berlin's Dokumentale documentary and non-fiction festival, the organizers received a legal threat over their name. Instead of fighting, they've changed their name to DoXumentale. We meet the festival's artistic director Anna Ramskloger-Witt, who explains why the new name is better. She tells us about program, including a nature film about gay animals, a profile of a Berlin undertaker and more. DoXumentale runs until June 28. Find a screening or watch online at https://www.dokumentale.de/ What goes on behind the doors of beauty salons? NGO founder Annamaria Olsson decided to take a microphone to meet women in these safe spaces, and found a world of womens' empowerment. Beauty salons give women jobs and help them overcome domestic violence. Annamaria has travelled to Morocco, Georgia, Bosnia and Kosovo to record audio for her project.

And when should Pittsburgh finally start developing a young QB for the future? The Dead End Sports crew breaks down the move, what it means for the AFC North, and how the Steelers should play this new era. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode: The benefits of long-term capital gains tax rates and how to qualify The impact of the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax (often called the “Obamacare tax”) The key differences between long-term and short-term capital gains New increases to the standard deduction for 2025 A proposed tax-advantaged “Trump Account” for children under age 8, including contribution limits and withdrawal rules The House-passed bill's broader context, including its 100+ tax provisions still awaiting Senate approval Why it's important to wait for legislation to be finalized before planning around it In this episode, our guest, Debora Gorman, dives into Maryland's sweeping tax changes for 2025, aimed at closing a $3.3 billion budget gap—while giving entrepreneurs a crash course in how these changes will hit their bottom lines. If you own or operate a business in Maryland (or sell into it), this is your cheat sheet to staying compliant and tax-savvy in the face of some major shifts. What You'll Learn: New High-Income Tax Brackets: Maryland has introduced two new tax tiers for top earners—up to 6.5% for individuals making over $1 million and joint filers over $1.2 million. Business owners should reassess employee withholdings and estimated tax payments now. Capital Gains Surtax: A new 2% surtax applies to net capital gains for individuals with federal AGI over $350,000. Some exceptions apply (think retirement accounts and primary residences under $1.5M), but high-income entrepreneurs will want to revisit their investment strategies and tax planning. Standard Deduction Boosts: Maryland has raised its standard deduction significantly. It could tip the scales for some taxpayers, especially small business owners juggling itemized deductions. Gorman urges entrepreneurs to run both scenarios before filing. New 3% Sales Tax on Digital & IT Services: Starting July 1, 2025, certain digital subscriptions and tech services will be taxed. This includes cloud storage, custom software, and IT consulting under specific NAICS codes. If you're selling these services, you'll need to start collecting and remitting the tax. If you're buying, plan for increased costs. Out-of-State Sellers Beware: If your company sells into Maryland and hits $100K in revenue or 200 transactions/year, you're likely on the hook for sales tax collection—even without a physical presence. Custom Software No Longer Exempt: With the expansion of what's taxable, the custom software exemption is gone. If it's tied to taxable IT services, it's now subject to the 3% rate. Help Is Available: Gorman highlights resources like MarylandTaxConnect.gov and the Comptroller's legislative updates page, which includes step-by-step videos, withholding calculators, and FAQs. Bonus: There's no underpayment penalty for 2025 if your miscalculation is due to the new rates. This episode delivers exactly what every entrepreneur needs: clarity, direction, and tools to stay ahead of the changes—without the legalese. Stay sharp and compliant, Maryland business owners. July's coming fast.

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my good friend Michael to talk about what's really happening behind the scenes in GovCon right now—and let me tell you, it's unlike anything we've seen before. From canceled contracts and government workforce cuts to the rise of unsolicited proposals and tax incentives in manufacturing, we dive into the new terrain contractors are navigating in 2025. Michael shares how his company is weathering the storm, what it takes to buy and build in uncertain times, and why being lean, agile, and real about your valuation is more critical than ever. We also get into the M&A landscape, private equity interest in $10–20M firms, and the cautionary tale of companies shrinking from $20M to $5M in one year. If you're thinking about scaling, selling, or simply surviving, this conversation is full of battle-tested wisdom. The game is changing—procurement cycles are stalling, FAR rules are shifting, and a lot of people are frozen in fear. But if you're ready to pivot, innovate, and lead, now is your time. Let's get into it.

“There is a pretty significant amount of track and field athletes for whom a college opportunity will only come through the participation of track and field. That is something we need to really educate the public around. Coining the term, ‘the opportunity sport,' encapsulates all of that. It's something I believe the broader public can get understanding around.”Starting July 1, NCAA Division I schools can directly pay athletes for the first time ever. This shift follows the House v. NCAA antitrust settlement, approved last week by Judge Claudia Wilken. The $2.8B deal doesn't make athletes employees, but it does allow them to finally receive a share of the billions in revenue they help generate. Schools will be able to offer up to $20.5M annually to student-athletes across all sports (amounts not required to be equal). It also tightens oversight of NIL collectives via a new clearinghouse that ensures deals are “fair-market value.” After major pushback over lost roster spots, the final version protects current and incoming athletes, though schools aren't required to restore those spots. Now, athletic departments are racing to implement these changes. Some are lobbying Congress for federal regulation, hoping this deal becomes a stepping stone toward nationwide legislation. Either way, college sports — and particularly cross country and track — will never look the same.Mentioned in this episode…Read: Track Is America's Opportunity Sport.

In life, you need the 3 Cs.    The first one is connection.    In business, if you're the go-to guy for anything from attorneys, to doctors, or other service providers, you'll never have to go make new friends.  They'll come to you as long as you're doing the right things.    The second C is Capital.  You need money to run your business. And yes, those who are worth $50 million dollars sometimes need capital.  In order to keep things rolling, you have to have capital.    The last and most powerful C is Coaching.  I don't coach anyone, but you need to have a mentor to help you navigate where you want to go.    I suggest finding someone who is above you in business. If you are grossing $5M a year, find someone who is doing $20-$25M to help you.    Pay them for their time and save yours in the process by expediting your learning curve.    Stick to the 3 Cs and you'll have everything you need.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
