Big Sal from Peshtigo has had ENOUGH — and on a Sunday morning, no less. The Green Bay Packers just handed Sean Rhyan $33 million guaranteed for a man with nine career starts at center. NINE. Spotrac had his market value at $6.5 million a year. Green Bay paid $11. That's not a signing — that's a charity event. And while they were handing out money like that, Tyler Linderbaum walked out the door. Sal breaks down the Rhyan deal in brutal detail — $11M per year vs. a $6.5M market value, a 6-game PED suspension on his record, and nine career starts at the position he's now being paid to anchor The offensive line gets the full Sal treatment: Morgan (question mark), Banks ($19M for "serviceable"), Belton (zero NFL snaps), Tom ($22M) — over $50M per year at three spots surrounding a center with no track record Elgton Jenkins — four-time Pro Bowler who could play every position on the line — was released to make room for the backup who filled in when he got hurt The Dale's Deck analogy lands perfectly: a beautiful structure with a center that cannot hold the weight — and Sal is watching this offensive line the exact same way Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with every Packers fan staring at their phone in disbelief right now.

"Send me a text"You've loaded your product page with third-party certifications, clinical studies, doctor endorsements, and detailed ingredient sourcing. Your credibility is bulletproof. So why isn't anyone buying?Because credibility without desire is just noise. And trust without hope is completely irrelevant.Most supplement brands build their entire marketing strategy around proving they're trustworthy, leading with certifications, studies, and credentials. They think: "Once they trust us, they'll buy." But here's the problem: If customers don't want what you're selling first, they don't care how credible you are.In this episode, we reveal why leading with credibility kills sales and show you the exact sequence that actually converts. You'll learn where trust fits in the buying journey, when to introduce your scientific proof, and how credibility amplifies the forces that come before it, but can't replace them.You'll discover:Why customers bounce from pages loaded with certifications and studiesThe psychological sequence: Desire → Hope → Trust → Belief (and why order matters)How leading with credibility activates the analytical mind before emotional buy-inWhat "accelerated trust" means and why you need it before "gradual trust"The exact moment in the copy when scientific proof becomes helpful vs. harmfulReal examples of brands killing sales with premature credibility playsHow to position certifications and studies to support hope instead of replacing itWhy your competitor with less impressive credentials is outselling youStop leading with what makes you credible.

Bill Powers interviews Adrian O'Brien of Midnight Sun Mining at PDAC in Toronto about the company's copper discovery in the Zambia–DRC copper belt amid competing US- and China-backed rail corridors to access regional copper. O'Brien recounts the company's transformation from a ~$20–25M market cap to ~C$300M after regaining 100% ownership of its flagship Dumbwa target, raising C$10M and later C$30.5M, building institutional support, and hiring COO Kevin Bonel (formerly Barrick) to apply a Lumwana-style exploration approach. Midnight Sun is drilling its 20 km Dumbwa target soil anomaly systematically on a grid with multiple rigs, targeting a large near-surface basement-dome copper system, awaiting many assays, and positioning as an explorer aiming for eventual M&A while also monetizing an oxide resource. https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF 00:00 Intro 00:28 Meet Midnight Sun 01:34 From Microcap to Funded 03:29 De Risking the Story 05:14 Africa Copper Hotspot 07:41 Rail Corridors Clash 09:33 Why First Quantum Missed 12:14 Basement Dome Geology 14:37 Valuation and M&A Benchmarks 16:10 Kevin Bonel Joins 18:45 Grid Drilling Like a Major 21:34 Assay Backlog Reality 23:08 Explorer to Sale Strategy 24:12 Data Room Interest 25:09 Methodical Not Boring 26:55 Geology Twists and Bornite 28:29 What Makes a Great Hole 29:56 Lens Model and Grades 31:42 Treasury and Drill Costs 33:42 Financing Discipline 36:22 Assay Turnaround and Visual Core 37:50 Tickers and Contact Info Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Last episode, Ron and Marcus made predictions. This episode, they brought the receipts. A journalist built an app with vibe coding and got hacked on live television.  A social network built entirely by AI (not a single line of human code!) exposed 1.5 million authentication tokens and private messages between agents.  And 88% of organizations have already had an AI security incident, while barely 14% of deployed agents ever saw a security review.  The warnings from last episode aged fast. Marcus J. Carey is back to talk about what that actually means for the people building right now, not the people theorizing about it. Ron and Marcus are in the code themselves, and this conversation is what that experience actually looks like: OpenClaw running loose on your machine, agents racking up API bills, and why guidance, not prompts, not tools, is the real skill that separates builders who thrive from builders who ship disasters.

Demolish Your Comfort Zones This week on A New Direction, Coach Jay Izso welcomes elite performer and Fortune 500 coach Art Turock to discuss his transformative book, Demolish Your Comfort Zones. We aren’t just talking about “stepping outside” of where you feel safe; we are talking about a total demolition. Art argues that conventional self-improvement tools like basic goal setting and time management are often “watered down” to fit within our existing comfort zones, making them effective for modest gains but useless for bold breakthroughs. If you feel like you've been “trying hard” but staying stuck, it's likely because you've unknowingly prioritized short-term comfort over long-term results. Art will reveal how comfort zones act as a ceiling on your potential, killing more dreams than failure ever could. During the show, we will dive into the “Colossal Deception”—the internal rationalizations we use to avoid the discomfort necessary for growth. By shifting from mere “interest” to “no matter what” commitment, you can begin to dismantle the barriers that keep you from your absolute best effort. This conversation is designed to disturb your current mindset and replace it with extreme accountability, ensuring your comfort zones no longer dictate the boundaries of your success. To truly crush your hidden limitations, you must be willing to pay the “price of freedom,” which is temporary discomfort. Art’s approach is born from over 1,200 self-experiments and his own journey as a championship sprinter who began at age 55. We will explore how to identify the “Guy/Gal on the Couch”—that voice in your head advocating for “reasonableness”—and how to use tools like the Freedom Log to rehearse the mindset shifts needed to stay ahead of your comfort zones every single day. Whether you are a business leader, an athlete, or someone looking to reignite a personal passion, this episode will provide the 90-day blueprint you need to stop negotiating with bad habits. Join Coach Jay and Art Turock as they teach you how to live a life where your comfort zones simply cannot survive. It's time to stop dreaming and start achieving by learning to embrace the very situations you've been trained to avoid. And for all my A New Direction listeners here is your link to a FREE complimentary coaching call with Art. Coaching – Art Turock Art Turock’s book, “Demolish Your Comfort Zones: 6 Unconventional Practices to Crush Your Hidden Limitations” is a book that is not for the faint of heart.  Let’s be honest with each other, change is difficult.  To change ourselves is even more demanding.  It requires not just a change in behavior, but a change in mindset. So often we think and act in a “victim” mindset.  We don’t even realize the words that we use on a daily basis actually have us thinking that we have no control over our life, change, or being better.  We don’t’ even know that we have stopped ourselves before we have even tried. But what is even more daunting for many of us is the idea of what it will take to make change. And that’s the point of Demolish Your Comfort Zones.  It is going to take work.  It is going to take time.  It is going to take consistency.  It is going to take practice, and ultimately it is going to take discipline.  But if we will do the work we experience freedom! What you and I do not realize is that we have set up our own prisons, from a combination of nature and nurture. We have allowed ourselves to simply go with the status quo.  Say it is good enough.  And for most of us we never pursue, or worse yet have given up on our dreams. Demolish Your Comfort Zones, challenges our notions of success, improvement, and high performance.  The 6 Keys that Art Turock lays out, if we will do them, will change any doubts and fears we have about success. This is a book filled with practical wise guidance.  It is a book that will be a life changer for those who have the courage to take it on.  The book is fantastic!  Isn’t it time you should live your best free life?  Then this book is for you!

The old DTC playbook is dying. And most brands don't even realize it yet.In this episode, Nik sits down to talk about how DTC has evolved, why lean and profitable is the new thing, and what the next five years of ecom will actually look like. Nik explains the shift toward what he calls performance branding, where brand and measurable performance work together instead of competing for budget. They break down the real growth ceilings brands hit at $5M, $20M, and beyond - and why performance marketing alone eventually stops working. They also cover tariffs, shipping arbitrage, hidden 3PL fees, inventory risk, app bloat, Shopify's evolution, and why context and operator skill will matter more than ever. If you're building a brand in 2026 and beyond, this episode is a blueprint for staying lean, fast, and culturally relevant in a world where everyone has access to the same tools.

What makes a small business attractive to buyers? In this episode, Bill Gallagher sits down with Phil Risher, founder of Flash Consulting, to unpack how service businesses can grow quickly and become attractive acquisition targets. Phil shares how he helped scale a home service company from $2.7M to $5M and sell it within two years by focusing on marketing systems, data, and repeatable customer acquisition. They explore why recurring revenue, strong margins, and systems that remove the owner from operations dramatically increase company value(05:47) You Don't Need a $10M Business to Sell*Many founders believe they must reach $10M in revenue before selling.*But smaller companies can still sell for strong valuations.*Bill shares an example of a company under $4M in revenue selling for around $21M.(18:20) Why Most Service Businesses Lose Leads*Many companies lose potential customers simply because they fail to follow up.*If someone fills out a form or calls but doesn't answer the first callback, the lead often disappears.*A simple system of texts, emails, and follow-up outreach dramatically improves conversion rates.(33:03) The “Key Person Risk” That Kills Business Sales*One of the biggest obstacles to selling a company is owner dependence.*If the owner is the primary salesperson or operator, buyers see risk.*Building a professional sales team and documented processes increases valuation.(36:50) Systems Turn a Job Into a Sellable Company*A business becomes valuable when it runs on systems instead of the founder.*Marketing, sales intake, follow-up, and operations must be documented.*When the owner steps back and the company still grows, buyers become interested.Thanks to Phil Risher for being on the show!Connect with Phil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philrisherLearn more about his work: https://phlashconsulting.com/about-phlash-consulting/Bill Gallagher, Scaling Coach and host of the Scaling Up Business podcast, is an international business coach who works with C-Suite leaders to achieve breakthrough growth.Join Bill in the Growth Navigator Coaching Program: https://ScalingCoach.com/workshopBill on LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/BillGallBill on YouTube: https://www.YouTube.com/@BillGallagherScalingCoachVisit https://ScalingUp.com to learn more about Verne Harnish, our team of Scaling Up Coaches, and the Scaling Up Performance Platform, which includes coaching, learning, software, and summit.

What happens to a rock band's legacy when the touring stops forever?  When Pophouse acquired the KISS catalog, brand, name, image, and likeness rights, they didn't just buy music. They bought the blueprint for keeping one of rock's most iconic bands alive indefinitely through digital avatars, biometric data, and AI-driven live experiences. This deal, built on the success of ABBA Voyage and developed in partnership with Industrial Light and Magic, may be the most forward thinking music IP acquisition ever negotiated.  In this episode, Dmitri unpacks it all with Spencer Klein, chair of Morrison Foerster's Global Mergers and Acquisitions Group, who represented KISS co-founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley in the deal. Together, they explore how music catalog valuation is expanding beyond audio rights into merchandise, transmedia storytelling, and immersive concert experiences. They also dig into what this means for the broader music industry as artificial intelligence and digital avatar technology begin reshaping how artist IP is valued, monetized, and preserved for future generations. Whether you follow KISS, entertainment law, or the future of artist brands, this episode offers a rare inside look at how the music industry is evolving beyond the limits of what any band can do in a lifetime.    The news Mogul says it has tracked $1.5B in music royalties, raised $5M in funding | TechCrunch Neptune Raises $1.5 Million to Scale Digital Music Education in the UAE AI Sample Generator Just 4 Noise Closes $1 Million Round   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

The Broad Arrow Amelia Auction 2026 is coming up soon, and there's a ton of interesting cars to pick apart. But given an unlimited-budget, what five cars would you pick from this year's lot? In this episode, Jason and Derek explore just that. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before picking favorites, Derek goes over some of the highlights of this year's listing - starting most notably with the Black over Red 2003 Ferrari Enzo, estimated to hit $12-16M. The Ferrari Monza SP2 is also a big deal, as it is one of the first publicly sold examples to exist. And of course, the 1988 Porsche 959 Sport is estimated to make a big splash with a $4.25-5M estimate. Jason and Derek then discuss their five picks, aiming to surprise each other with their choices. Jason unexpectedly chooses a number exotics, including the 1991 Testarossa, the F40, the Ford GT Heritage Edition, and the 1973 Dino 246 GTS. Derek is a bit more predictable - choosing some lesser known cars like the Siata 208S, the Lancia B24 Spider America, and the “Rote Sau” recreated Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 with a 6 speed manual.

In this episode of the Real Estate Investing School Podcast, Joe Jensen sits down with Melissa Nash—a real estate investor, educator, mother of four, and wealth strategist who built a $5M+ rental portfolio using what she calls The Lazy Investor Method. After losing her business in the 2008 crash, Melissa went searching for a safer, more predictable path to financial freedom. She found it in buy-and-hold real estate—modeling the quiet generational wealth her husband's grandmother built by steadily acquiring rentals over decades. In this conversation, Melissa breaks down the early failures that taught her what not to do, the power of out-of-state investing, and the systems that allowed her to scale past 50+ deals without ever swinging a hammer, managing contractors, or even visiting most properties in person. Melissa also shares how she leverages turnkey teams, vetted property managers, creative lenders, new builds, cash-out refi strategies, and a network she carefully built over ten years to acquire properties with minimal friction—sometimes with as little as $6–7K all-in. From avoiding bad contractors to choosing landlord-friendly markets, from building tax-saving structures to combining appreciation and cash flow strategically, Melissa reveals how everyday people can create freedom through simple, repeatable systems. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by real estate, this episode is a masterclass in how to start small, stay consistent, and build a portfolio that truly supports your life—not the other way around.

"Send me a text"Episode Description:Your customer has tried four different supplements for their problem. Every one had a solid mechanism explanation. Every one failed. Now they land on your page, see your mechanism explanation, and think: "This sounds like everything else that didn't work."

You'll learn the difference between explaining your mechanism (which sounds like everything else) and explaining the gap (which creates new possibility).You'll discover:Why "supports relaxation" or "promotes energy" kills sales even when accurateThe two-part Unique Mechanism framework: Why others failed + What was missingHow to identify the gap that creates hope in your specific categoryReal examples of hope-killing vs. hope-creating mechanism explanationsThe missing piece narrative structure that makes customers believe "this time is different"Why this matters more as markets mature and customers have tried more solutionsHow to rewrite your product page to acknowledge past failures before explaining your mechanismIf you have solid science, quality ingredients, and good formulations but your conversion rates are stuck, it's not your product. It's that your mechanism explanation sounds exactly like what already didn't work for them. This episode shows you how to fix it.Hope answers the question: "Why will this time be different?"

What happens when a technology-minded New Yorker stumbles into Hollywood and ends up reshaping how the industry makes trailers, title sequences, and motion graphics for the next three decades? This week, Eric Ladd joins the show to talk about his winding path from floppy disk drives and Bank of America to running Novocom, building Pittard Sullivan into a global powerhouse, and founding Picture Mill, one of the most influential design and motion graphics companies in entertainment marketing history. Now he's doing it again with Ignite XR, creating AR and social content tools contracted by TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. Along the way, the conversation covers how Picture Mill got its name (in a single impulsive moment at a lunch meeting), the deal that fell apart and sent half of Pittard's leadership out the door to start their own companies, and how Eric pioneered digital before the industry even had a name for it. He also shares what it was like to shoot the Mandalay tiger in Hawaii, fly to Edwards Air Force Base with a first-time solo pilot to blow up a quarter-scale hotel, and pitch George Lucas on a Star Wars re-release trailer using a clip of Apocalypse Now on VHS. Key Takeaways Confidence Is a Skill Before leaving Pittard, Eric had already grown Novocom from two people to sixty. That track record gave him the credibility to walk into Aspect Ratio's Citrus lunch meeting with an $8.5M business plan he'd written in two hours — and walk out with a credit line and the name Picture Mill. The People You Work With Are the Real Portfolio When asked about favorite campaigns, Eric sidestepped the question entirely: "I have favorite people." The relationships formed in those early years, including editors, designers, producers, directors, are what he actually carries forward. Know When to Leave, and Who Should Replace You At Pittard, Eric not only knew when his time was up, he named Anne Epstein as the person who should take the job. Succession thinking and generosity with credit have been constants throughout his career. Bleeding Edge Requires a Tolerance for Uncertainty Whether it was scanning and comping an entire Spike Lee trailer in the early days of digital, pioneering AR filters on Snapchat before the platforms knew what to do with them, or landing a contract with ByteDance by simply delivering a working product without being asked, Eric's approach has always been to figure it out first and explain it later. AI Is a Tool, Not a Threat... If You Have Ideas The conversation about AI cuts to the heart of what this show is about. Eric's view: "It all comes down to ideas." AI can execute, but someone still has to direct it. The people who will struggle are those who were already functioning as tools themselves. Notable Quotes "I went over there at five o'clock and Ed and I were there till ten. We just clicked." "I said, 'You can't afford me.' He said, 'How much do you want?' Six months later my paycheck just went WHOOSH." "When we came back from lunch, we'd hired every one of those people in the waiting room." "It all comes down to ideas. AI can give you ideas, but it lacks what humans can do with them." "A lot of being successful has to do with wherewithal. If you can hang in there long enough, you can be successful doing anything." "When we're gone, those stories are gonna be gone with us." "Not anymore. They're on the record!"

Tommy Mello hosts a Super Bowl day episode of The Home Service Expert with Ismael Valdez, founder of VE and NextGen (Anaheim), discussing how to scale home service businesses through disciplined marketing, sales process mastery, and operational execution. Ishmael explains how he would evaluate investing in a $20M company by first assessing the energy and leadership of the C-suite/upper management, then reviewing data systems like CRM/ServiceTitan and financials, contrasting this with smaller $4 - $5M owner-driven businesses. They discuss the importance of competitiveness, infrastructure, and recruiting, and Tommy's focus on lead generation and funnel math (booking rate, cancellations, conversion rate), including capacity planning, overstaffing with outbound to fill boards, and lowering cancellations driven by response time. Ishmael emphasizes three core departments: marketing, sales, and operations/customer fulfillment, and argues many operators underperform in marketing and sales. 00:00 The Importance of Client Empowerment 06:03 Marketing as the Foundation of Success 11:53 Managing Seasonality in Business 14:59 Investment Strategies Post-Exit 22:28 Creative Financing and Collaboration 31:14 Market Entry Strategies and Performance Metrics 36:27 Marketing and Brand Recognition 39:06 Sales Techniques and Customer Engagement 49:19 The Power of Personal Branding 55:16 Sales Strategies and Growth Goals
