Join Here: ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz explores the artist background of Tame Impala, the psychedelic rock/psych-pop project led by Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker. Since 2008, Parker has written, produced, and performed most material solo under the Tame Impala moniker.The sound evolution traces from garage-psych roots on Innerspeaker (2010), to polished pop-infused textures on Currents (2015), groove/pop hybridization on The Slow Rush (2020), and the latest genre blend of psychedelic, disco, house, and pop on Deadbeat, released October 17, 2025. Deadbeat debuted at #4 on Billboard 200, #4 on Official U.K. Albums Chart, and #2 on ARIA Chart.Tame Impala boasts numerous Grammys, ARIA, APRA Awards, and one BRIT Award, with massive streaming success—e.g., “The Less I Know the Better” exceeding 2.2B Spotify streams—yet waited nearly two decades for a first Hot 100 entry.Focus shifts to standout single “Dracula,” released September 26, 2025, as the third from Deadbeat. This third single delivers a bouncy, disco-leaning groove with a “party-until-dawn” narrative using vampire metaphors for nightlife embrace. Praised for its infectious groove, earworm chorus, and Halloween-adjacent energy, it drew mixed reviews (e.g., Medium 6.5/10) but strong community response in outlets like Atwood Magazine.“Dracula” marked Tame Impala's breakthrough: first Billboard Hot 100 entry debuting at #55 (October 2025), peaking at #30; #1 on Alternative Airplay (January 2026, returned #1 February 7 chart); #2 Adult Alternative Airplay; #23 Rock & Alternative Airplay. It ranked #3 in Triple J Hottest 100 (2025), amassed ~221M Spotify streams by February 2026, with debut week U.S. metrics of 6.5M streams, 1.7M radio impressions, and 1K digital sales. It peaked Top 40 on UK Singles Chart over 16 weeks.An early February 2026 remix featuring BLACKPINK's JENNIE added new vocal layers, verse content, and lyric nods to Parker, blending K-pop with psych-pop. Released post-Parker's JENNIE merch sighting at the February 1, 2026 Grammys—where Tame Impala won Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “End Of Summer” (second consecutive in category)—the remix boosted visibility, demographic reach, and chart momentum, sparking follow-up Hot 100 entries like “Loser” (#91) and “My Old Ways” (#56).Analytic Dreamz analyzes “Dracula” as a streaming-driven radio crossover, U.S. chart gateway, and cross-genre platform linking psych-pop and K-pop ecosystems, reinforcing Parker's hybrid legacy amid a 2026 European tour (April 4–May 13, covering major markets like Madrid, Paris, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Dublin).Tune in for in-depth insights on Tame Impala's evolution, breakthrough success, and strategic significance in modern music.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesPrime Video unveiled the first trailer for Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading TV role as Ben Reilly—a name change from the Peter Parker version he voiced in Into the Spider-Verse—a down-on-his-luck 1930s New York private investigator forced to reckon with his past as the city's only superhero. The trailer also teased multiple villains and concluded with the tagline With No Power Comes No Responsibility. The eight-episode series is set to launch May 27 as a full binge release with each episode available in both black-and-white and color versions.Lucasfilm dropped the first full trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu Tuesday morning, setting up Star Wars' return to theaters after seven years with Din Djarin and Grogu enlisted by the New Republic to combat scattered Imperial warlords. The May 22 release directed by Jon Favreau and co-written with newly promoted Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni features Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver as former Rebel pilot Colonel Ward, and Jeremy Allen White voicing Rotta the Hutt, with footage showcasing Coruscant, Hoth, gladiator fights, and action sequences far bigger than the Disney+ series. Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights capitalized on Valentine's Day weekend with $83M globally ($37.5M domestic, $45.5M international), marking Warner Bros' ninth consecutive number one opening. Sony's GOAT overperformed with $35.1M domestic; the best opening for an original animated film since Pixar's Element, while Amazon MGM's Crime 101 stumbled with just $16.3M domestic against its $90M budget. The romantic drama skewed heavily female with 76% of audiences and represents record openings for both Fennell and Jacob Elordi, though the holiday boost may be short-lived as GOAT already beat it on both Sunday and Monday.Jason Momoa will star in Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' film adaptation of Helldivers, directed by Justin Lin, set to hit theaters on November 10, 2027. The film is based on the popular video game franchise in which an elite unit of soldiers called Helldivers battle alien creatures threatening the fictional planet of Super Earth, with Helldivers 2 having sold more than 12 million units in its first four months after its 2024 launch.Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Behaviour Interactive have tapped David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Alexandre Aja to write the feature film adaptation of the horror video game Dead by Daylight. Aja will not direct the film as he is committed to directing Under Paris 2 for Netflix, so the companies are beginning the search for a director, with James Wan, Jason Blum, and Stephen Mulrooney serving as producers.James Van Der Beek, the actor best known for playing Dawson Leery on the hit teen drama Dawson's Creek, died on February 11, 2026, at age 48 after battling Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Van Der Beek was diagnosed with the disease in 2023 and made his diagnosis public in November 2024, with his family confirming he passed peacefully and met his final days with courage, faith, and grace.Apple has acquired the IP and all rights to Severance from producer Fifth Season in a deal worth just under $70 million, with Apple Studios now producing future seasons in-house while Fifth Season remains as an executive producer. The series has been renewed for Season 3 with a fourth season considered a lock, and showrunner Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller are open to expanding the franchise with prequels, spinoffs, and foreign versions to keep fans engaged during gaps between seasons.Lionsgate and Saber Interactive have announced a AAA John Wick video game in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Keanu Reeves reprising his role providing the character's look, voice, and involvement in production alongside franchise director Chad Stahelski.

Systematizing Growth: Scaling to Eight Figures with Daniel StrohliIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Daniel Strohli, the Founder of ProfitsX, about the specialized strategies required to bridge the gap between mid-sized success and massive scale. Daniel shares his expertise in helping companies in the $5M to $15M revenue range move beyond scattered, founder-dependent operations and into the world of repeatable, process-driven machines. This conversation offers a deep dive into the "connective tissue" of business—the processes that empower people and products to perform at their peak—while providing a masterclass in diversifying lead generation and reclaiming ownership of your audience in an unpredictable digital landscape.Transforming Operational Chaos into Scalable Marketing MachinesThe transition from a successful small business to a systematized mid-sized enterprise often fails because founders overlook the critical handoff between marketing and product delivery. Daniel explains that while most businesses in this revenue bracket already possess exceptional people and high-quality products, they lack the robust processes necessary to insulate the company from human error or market shifts. By mapping out every step of the customer journey—from the very first lead touchpoint to long-term client retention—leaders can identify the bottlenecks and redundancies that silently bleed profit. Systematization, in this context, is not about creating rigid bureaucracy; it is about building a measurable framework that frees the team to focus on high-value innovation rather than repetitive troubleshooting.A major vulnerability for many growing firms is an over-reliance on a single lead generation channel, whether that be referrals or a dominant social media platform. Daniel advocates for a "rule of three" approach, where businesses pilot and maintain at least three reliable, independent lead streams to protect against algorithm changes or platform instability. This diversification requires meeting the customer exactly where they spend their time, which necessitates a commitment to iterative testing and channel research. Whether it is LinkedIn for B2B outreach or Instagram for consumer engagement, the "right" channel is a moving target that requires constant observation and the agility to adapt marketing spend based on real-time ROI data.Amidst the noise of modern social media, Daniel identifies email marketing as one of the most underrated and high-leverage assets a business can own. Unlike social media followers, who are essentially "rented" from third-party platforms, an email list is a portable business asset that facilitates the 20 to 40 touchpoints often required for a high-ticket sale. By segmenting lists based on behavior and automating value-driven follow-up sequences, entrepreneurs can build a level of trust and direct access that algorithms cannot disrupt. For a business to be truly scalable and resilient, it must prioritize owning its audience and treating its email database with the same strategic care as its primary product line.About Daniel Strohli:Daniel Strohli is the Founder of ProfitsX, where he serves as a strategic consultant for businesses looking to optimize their operations and scale their revenue. With a focus on process-driven marketing and lead generation, Daniel is known for his ability to translate complex founder visions into streamlined, repeatable business models.About ProfitsXProfitsX is a business consultancy that specializes in systematization and growth strategies for mid-sized companies.

Contractor Cash Flow Fix — The 4 Numbers Every Subcontractor Must Track with Dustin Young   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com   Pay-When-Paid Cash Flow: How Subcontractors Survive Long Payment Terms    Subcontractors and GCs don't usually go broke because they don't have work—they go broke because cash timing, contract terms, and decision-making lag quietly squeeze them until payroll becomes a crisis. In this episode, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Dustin Young, a fractional CFO who works specifically with construction companies doing roughly $3M–$30M in annual revenue. Dustin shares the patterns he sees across contractors: "pay-when-paid" bottlenecks, contracts signed without understanding payment terms, books that are months behind, and owners stuck fighting fires instead of building systems.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why subcontractors often get stuck with "pay when paid" terms—and how to reduce the damage with cash forecasting and up-front negotiation before you sign.  The question Rocky asks that exposes a common blind spot: most contractors don't know payment terms before signing, and that can mean funding payroll for 90 days without cash coming in.  The 4 numbers Dustin wants contractors tracking consistently (weekly/monthly): cash, sales, gross profit, net profit—so you can make decisions based on reality, not vibes.  Rocky's gross profit mindset shift: top-line revenue can fool you, but gross profit tells you what size business you can actually run.  Why Dustin's "field + finance" background matters: construction companies often have a disconnect where field operations and accounting don't speak the same language, which leads to waste, margin surprises, and chaos.  The failure pattern Dustin sees: businesses die when they can't make decisions fast enough—especially when job margins are unknown and the books are months behind (he mentions a company six months behind that still "thinks" they did ~$40M).  Why the hardest bottlenecks aren't spreadsheets—they're people problems (trust breaks, safety incidents, long-time employees) and why owners delay decisions even when they know what has to happen.  The real cost of "tax advice" spending and shiny purchases (like the $120,000 truck example), plus how to pressure-test big spends (including marketing retainers) using a cash forecast before you commit.    The Big Takeaway: If you don't know your contract terms, don't measure job-level profitability, and don't keep your books current, you're not running a construction business—you're financing projects for other people and hoping you survive the wait. Forecasting and a few core numbers create the clarity to negotiate better, avoid cash traps, and make faster decisions before problems become payroll emergencies.   Bio: helps construction company owners get their lives back. Most contractors he meets are doing good with sales but are trapped—working 70-hour weeks, constantly putting out fires, missing their kids' games, and wondering why they built a business that owns them instead of the other way around. He knows because he's been there.   He grew up around construction and spent the last decade building and scaling construction companies—some successful, some that taught expensive lessons. He's been in the field getting projects through the finish line and in the back office building financial systems to make the whole thing work.   What he learned is this: revenue growth without the right systems just means you're working harder for less freedom. And freedom—time with family, the ability to step away, actually enjoying the business you built—that's what matters most.   Now, as a Fractional CFO for $3M+ construction firms, he helps owners build the financial clarity and systems they need to scale profitably and get their time back. Because hitting $5M or $10M in revenue means nothing if you're still drowning in cash flow problems and can't take a week off without everything falling apart.   Links: Website: https://www.raveninsights.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustinhyoung/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dustinhyoung/   Conclusion: Dustin's message is simple: construction businesses don't need more hustle—they need visibility. Know what you signed, know when cash actually arrives, and track the numbers that tell the truth. Then build systems so the owner isn't the firefighter, estimator, and bottleneck all at once.   Want to stop guessing and start running your business with real numbers? Listen to the full episode and then pick one action to implement this week: review your next contract's payment terms before signing, build a simple cash forecast for the next 13 weeks, or start tracking Dustin's 4 numbers consistently.   #ProfitAnswerMan #ProfitFirst #ProfitComesFirst #ConstructionBusiness #Subcontractors #GeneralContractor #CashFlow #CashFlowForecast #JobCosting #GrossProfit #NetProfit #ConstructionAccounting #FractionalCFO #ConstructionFinance #BusinessSystems #Operations #Leadership #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

We would love to hear your feedback!News Links for Ep 289A tipping point is here for the gig economy, and we felt it the moment two verdicts landed: Uber facing an $858.5M judgment in a sexual assault case under “apparent authority,” and Instacart ordered to pay nearly $16M after a fatal crash. We unpack what these rulings actually mean—where platform liability starts, where driver accountability remains, and how this could finally force safety to become a real product priority instead of a press release.From there, we widen the lens. A delivery drone fails midair near an apartment window, sending parts and smoke to the ground. Waymo confirms that when its robotaxis get stumped, human “fleet response” agents—including teams abroad—provide guidance while the software “stays in control.” Meanwhile, Tennessee considers doubling sidewalk delivery robot speeds to 20 mph, raising obvious questions about risk to pedestrians. We talk about what responsible autonomy should look like, how to design failure modes that don't maim people, and why public trust depends on clear logs, not vague assurances.On the ground, the work gets messy too. One driver finds illegal pills tucked in a hollowed-out bun for a motel drop, a perfect snapshot of how courier features can be exploited. We share the right playbook—screenshots, immediate police contact, and no returns to sender—and outline the policies platforms should adopt to stop turning drivers into mules. There's levity as well—a parakeet “driving” a Waymo earns a TOS warning—but the point stands: when tech meets everyday chaos, design has to assume mischief.We close with a practical angle: sustainability for high-mileage drivers. If you really live on the road, EVs can beat gas on total cost of ownership—no oil changes, fewer brake jobs, and predictable energy costs—despite pricier out-of-warranty fixes. With real safety investment, better insurance architecture, and smarter autonomy rollouts, gig work can be safer and more sustainable for the people carrying the load.If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friePlease fill out the survey for a chance for a 25.00 Gift Card!   Support the showEverything Gig Economy Podcast Related: Download the audio podcast Newsletter Octopus is a mobile entertainment tablet for your riders.

Teenagers flipping houses? Bill Allen is teaching financial literacy and real estate investing to the next generation of entrepreneurs. In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Bill Allen to talk about building a $4M real estate business, navigating a $1.5M payroll when revenue went to zero, redefining what "scale" really means, and why he's now focused on helping kids build wealth through real estate instead of just leaving them an inheritance. We get into: - Scaling from 1 deal to 200+ deals per year - What COVID taught him about leadership and margins - Why "scale" can actually hurt your lifestyle - Teaching teenagers to flip houses - Legacy vs. leaving millions behind - The mindset that matters more than money Bill is the founder of Seven Figure Flipping and the creator of Teenage Tycoon and the TV show Kids Who Flip. He's built businesses in real estate, education, and media — and now he's helping the next generation think differently about money.

Will Caldwell started Snap after his first real estate software startup fizzled, pivoting from agent tools to regulated compliance data. He discovered lenders were required to buy hazard and flood certifications, and realized this was a "painkiller" product. He built Snap as a data and analytics platform for real estate and mortgage underwriting. Snap grew from a single California compliance product into a national flood data business, reaching $5M in revenue and 30 employees. The company charged per-loan transaction fees and embedded via API into mortgage software systems. With double-digit market share, Snap focused on customer experience, automation, and expanding wallet share inside lenders' workflows. In October 2024, Snap sold 51% of the company to Intercontinental Exchange, parent of ICE Mortgage Technology, at a double-digit revenue multiple. Will stayed on to scale the platform inside a much larger ecosystem. His key lesson: dominate a narrow niche, build a required product, and let strategic buyers find you. Key Takeaways Required Beats Optional – Legal compliance products create urgency and retention because customers must buy to complete revenue-generating transactions. Micro-Niche Entry – Starting in a narrow regulated segment let Snap win trust, then expand into much larger adjacent markets. API = Distribution – Embedding inside legacy systems turned Snap into a one-click button that scaled through partners' existing sales teams. Customer Experience Wins – In commodity data markets, faster, cheaper, simpler delivery became Snap's main competitive weapon. Quote from Will Caldwell, CEO and Co-Founder of Snap "You don't need to build a huge business to get a huge, life-changing exit. Just stay laser-focused. Don't chase shiny objects. I see many founders trying to boil the ocean. It is about staying focused on a single niche. "I think vertical SaaS has many great niches, and horizontal software is challenging. You need a lot of money to go after horizontal solutions across industries. However, with vertical SaaS products and niches, there is a lot of overlooked opportunity; the real estate vertical is one prime example."
