The Minister of Agriculture and Forestry has announced a half a million dollar support package from government and industry for flood-affected farmers, growers and foresters in the Tasman region. It comes as the district-wide clean up continues, with Mayor Tim King estimating the total repair bill has already exceeded $100 million, alongside a warning more heavy rain is expected in the coming months. Samantha Gee reports.

Love is mysterious, and the death of love even more so: it's complicated, sticky, and heart breaking. When there are children impacted, as was the case with Marvin and Anna Gaye, and Richard and Linda Thompson, the emotional brutality can resonate for generations. Is it worthy compensation if the anguish produces great art? Life is short - Art is long, and isn't that what every artist hopes for, that their art will endure beyond the grave? Who can weigh that balance?Today's cuts illuminate couples in crisis: In the case of the Thompsons, they were dissolving a recording and performing team; in Marvin's, he was being ousted by the sister of the man who gave him his break. Neither scenario is pretty, but the resultant music remains divine.HERE MY DEAR / MARVIN GAYEAnna Gordy Gaye wanted a million dollars as a divorce settlement from Marvin. She took out a warrant for his arrest for failing to pay alimony, and put a restraining order on him. Check. So, a deal was struck: in exchange for $600K (1/2 in advance; half to be taken out of royalties), Marvin would produce a new album to get her paid. Check mate.Initially intending to make a quick knock off, Marvin became fascinated with the project, devoting himself to making it a passionate sacrifice, detailing the death of love. It was a critical and commercial failure upon its release, but has since been reconsidered, and is now thought of as one of his finest achievements. The title cut that introduces the album disturbingly cuts off in mid-phrase - a distinctly telling gesture.WALL OF DEATH / RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSONLinda was pregnant with Richard's third child when producer Joe Boyd got them into the studio to record the album “Shoot Out the Lights” - a record which Rolling Stone designated as #9 on its list of the “Best Albums of the 1980s”.  They were supposed to tour immediately after to promote the record, but unfortunately, this had to be delayed to allow Linda to give birth. In the interim, Richard, who had fallen in love with another woman, dropped the bad news on her as they set out on tour.After being together for 10 years, and Linda converting to Sufi Islam for Richard, renouncing worldly pleasures, she was now trapped inside a loveless, commercial obligation, ironically, to promote their finest collaboration.Wall of Death, which closes the album, depicts love as a dangerous carnival ride in which you take your chances at calamity, but still want to go back to ride, again and again.  

We just had our biggest financial leap ever, a $310,000 increase in our net worth in just one quarter. In this episode, I take you behind the curtain to reveal exactly how we did it. But this isn't just about our win—it's a blueprint for how you can do it too. I'm sharing the exact system we use (and teach inside Budget Dog Academy) that's changing lives and stacking net worth gains for hundreds of our students.   I'll show you how simple financial tools—like a balance sheet, budget, and roadmap—when automated and aligned with your values, can completely transform your financial life. Whether you're in debt, overwhelmed, or just looking for next-level results, this is your episode.   Timeline Summary: [0:00] – Introduction [0:41] – Our $310K Q2 net worth increase and why this framework is different [3:07] – Real-life student success stories and their massive net worth jumps [4:59] – Core drivers behind our growth: cash flow optimization, investing, and business valuations [5:26] – The 5-document system: balance sheet, budget, amortization schedule, roadmap, and cash flow goal worksheet [10:01] – How tracking quarterly net worth can change your mindset [13:01] – Why automation beats emotion when managing your finances [20:05] – Turning your goals into monthly cash flow targets [23:36] – The 3 pillars of financial fitness: education, automation, and community [27:39] – The myth of “more income equals clarity”—what really solves financial anxiety [29:34] – My personal “why” and how financial freedom saved our family   5 Key Takeaways:   Automation is key. Your system should run itself with minimal input—30 minutes a month is all it takes. Clarity trumps income. You don't need more money—you need a better plan for the money you already have. Track it or lose it. A quarterly balance sheet is like stepping on the financial scale—you can't improve what you don't measure. Your roadmap should reflect your values. Build a system that funds your goals, not someone else's idea of success. Community and education drive momentum. Surrounding yourself with the right tools and people accelerates your financial journey.   Quotables: “More income is speed—not clarity. If you're leaking at $60K, you'll be leaking at $600K.”   “If you can't commit to 30 minutes a month, you're not ready to win financially.”   “Automation eliminates the human limitations holding you back from wealth.”   “Net worth is the scoreboard, but freedom is the real win.”   “I don't just build systems—I build legacies.”   Links & Resources:   https://bookwithbudgetdog.com/ped   If this episode gave you clarity or motivation, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1090: Toyota leads with heart in Texas, Redwood supercharges old EV batteries for AI, and deepfake fraud hits a chilling milestone. Show Notes with links:Following catastrophic flooding, Toyota is stepping up big for its home state, pledging over $600,000 in aid to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and various on-the-ground recovery efforts.TMNA is joining forces with Toyota Financial Services, Gulf States Toyota, Southeast Toyota, and dealers nationwide.On top of the $600K, TMNA will match contributions up to $10,000 for eligible Toyota and Lexus dealers donating to flood relief charities and will double all U.S. team member contributions directed to disaster relief.Relief includes financial assistance, donation drives, and payment relief for impacted customers.“When disasters like this occur, it's important to help our neighbors and communities in their time of need,” said TMNA CEO Ted Ogawa.Redwood Materials, led by former Tesla co-founder JB Straubel, is giving EV batteries a second life—this time fueling the AI revolution with renewable power.In the Nevada desert, Redwood built a 12 MW/63 MWh microgrid from 792 repurposed EV battery packs from automakers like Toyota, GM, and VW, which is enough to power 4,000 homes continuously for about 5 hours.The system powers an AI data center using only a 33-acre solar array—no grid connection, no permits, no backup generators.With AI data centers projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028, second-life batteries are gaining traction as scalable, fast-to-deploy storage.Redwood expects to deliver over 5 GWh of repurposed storage capacity in the next 12 months.“You can deploy this very fast,” said Straubel. “We'll absolutely see much larger deployments of this.”(Since they are powering an ai data center…speaking of ai)A new wave of AI voice cloning fraud has hit an alarming milestone: impersonating a U.S. Secretary of State. The attack duped global leaders—and required just seconds of audio.In June 2025, a cloned voice of Marco Rubio was used to contact five officials via Signal.Victims included a U.S. governor, a member of Congress, and three foreign ministers.FBI warnings have cited a surge in AI-driven impersonation scams since April.Past heists include $243K from a UK energy firm and $35M from a UAE bank.Deepfake losses could hit $40B by 2027.

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

Business Growth Do's and Don'ts with Carolyn Lowe   Scaling Smarter – How Carolyn Lowe Uses Profit First to Power High-Growth Amazon Brands Are your people profitable—or just payroll? In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we're diving deep into the often-ignored truth of agency growth: labor isn't your biggest expense—it's your biggest risk. Carolyn Lowe, founder of ROI Swift and a fierce advocate for Profit First, reveals the real math behind scaling service businesses profitably and sustainably. Carolyn isn't just another agency owner. She's scaled brands from $30K to $600K/month profitably on Amazon, lived the corporate gauntlet at Dell, and now advises brands on how to grow without burning through their cash. From Fortune 100 boardrooms to scrappy startup trenches, she's seen it all—and she's here to break down what works. If you're serious about growing your business without losing your sanity or your margins, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why overstaffing is the silent killer of service businesses—and how Carolyn avoids it with a simple ratio. How ROI Swift uses labor efficiency ratios to guide every hiring decision. The surprising connection between lean teams and explosive profit margins. Why Profit First is a must-have playbook in low-margin, high-volume industries like Amazon services. How Carolyn applies EOS-style thinking to team structure and profitability.   Key Takeaways: 85% of expenses = people. In a service-based agency, margin management begins (and ends) with smart staffing. Labor Efficiency Ratio (LER) is Carolyn's north star. For every $1 in wages, her team must generate $2–$3 in revenue. Profit First is not optional. Even in hyper-growth, ROI Swift sticks to its allocations to avoid chaos and cash crunches. Growth ≠ headcount. Carolyn scaled a brand 20x by improving systems—not just hiring more people. If your profit is shrinking, look at your payroll first. Staffing bloat is the most common margin killer in scale-stage businesses.   About Carolyn Lowe: Carolyn Lowe founded ROI Swift in 2015 after seeing too many small brands overpay for underwhelming agency results. Her mission? Help 500 emerging brands grow profitably on Amazon. With a track record of turning brands from red to roaring—in one case from $30K/mo unprofitable to $600K/mo profitably in under 2 years—Carolyn walks her talk. She's also the author of Business Do's and Absolute Don'ts, distilling wisdom from her work at Dell, Costco, Amazon, and multiple startups. Oh, and fun fact? She's a licensed pilot (though these days she's too busy helping brands take off).   Conclusion: Growth is a Math Problem—So Do the Math Carolyn Lowe doesn't scale businesses by guessing. She uses math, metrics, and Profit First to create profitable growth without chaos. If you're tired of hiring ahead of revenue—or watching your payroll eat your profit—this episode gives you the blueprint.   Links: Website: https://roiswift.com LinkedIn ROI Swift - https://www.linkedin.com/company/roi-swift/   LinkedIn Carolyn Lowe – https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolynbyronlowe/   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 talk about what makes a home “A-grade” beyond land size and location, how to avoid overcapitalising, and why things like natural light and flexible layouts matter more than fancy finishes. We also break down the reality of rentvesting with a family and whether that under-$600K “positively geared” investment still exists. Here’s what we break down in this episode: Zoning changes are reshaping Sydney’s character suburbs—some areas will win, others could lose. Future-proofing your build matters: think layout, street appeal, and long-term resale. High rental yield doesn’t always mean better—capital growth still does the heavy lifting. Rentvesting only works if it fits your long-term goals and lifestyle. Don’t chase trends. Understand why the property market is shifting before you buy. If these are the questions keeping you up at night, or at least making you pause, this episode’s worth a listen. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:49 - How will zoning and development changes affect Sydney’s heritage suburbs? 11:44 - What should I consider when building a home to maximise resale or rental value? 18:50 - Are three-bedroom apartments really being bought by first home buyers? 22:41 - Should I focus on capital growth or rental yield while building my portfolio? 34:03 - Is it still possible to buy a positively geared property under $600K? 43:56 - Should we rentvest or try to buy in an area we’ve been priced out of?

What if you could ditch expensive booking platforms and turn your brand into a magnetic force that drives real revenue—directly? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Tori Bolt to unpack how she and her husband transformed Airbnb listings into a luxury treehouse empire—without relying on OTAs. Tori shares the pivotal moment that changed everything—and how one bold decision led them to walk away from traditional booking platforms and build a direct-booking model that fuels every reservation they now receive. With zero hospitality background, they leaned into passion, persistence, and purpose to build something unforgettable. We dive deep into the intentional design behind guest experiences that spark connection, the mindset shifts that turned them from beginners into industry leaders, and the radical clarity it took to say no to the wrong customers so they could say yes to the right ones. Tori opens up about the real challenges, the strategic moves that kept 100% of booking fees in-house, and how they built an Instagram following of over 600,000 by focusing on content that converts, not just entertains. This isn't just another marketing episode—it's a blueprint for breaking free from conventional business models and building a brand that's driven by purpose, not just profits. If you're ready to reclaim your bookings, grow with intention, and turn your business into something guests can't stop talking about—this episode is your launchpad! HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS: [01:16] A short introduction about our guest Tori Bolt and her journey of founding and scaling Bolt Farm Treehouse, a mountaintop luxury glamping retreat in Tennessee [03:32] What was the original spark that ignited Tori's journey to begin Bolt Farm Treehouse [07:27] Tori talks about the intentionally crafted environment at Bolt Farm Treehouse and how it fosters presence, connection, and the flow state [10:15] How the decision to embrace an adults-only policy at Bolt Farm Treehouse clarified their brand and strengthened guest satisfaction [18:36] Tori's approach to mastering delegation in order to scale the business, reclaim time, and focus on high-impact leadership tasks [22:44] Tori explains Bolt Farm's bold shift to 100% direct bookings and the importance of owning your platform [30:04] Tori reveals what is Bolt Farm's channels for customer acquisition for brand awareness and direct bookings [30:54] Tori's three-part formula for growing a 600K+ Instagram following and driving meaningful business result [35:14] The mindset shift from going it alone to investing in mentorship—and how it radically transformed their business [40:51] Tori shares how she and her husband now host hands-on workshops at Bolt Farm, offering a full-access experience to a small group of entrepreneurs in the short-term rental space [44:07] The lightning round Golden Nuggets: “Be true to yourself, your brand. Know your brand and your brand identity; your goal is not to make everybody happy.” “It's absolutely necessary to delegate. If you want to scale and if you want to grow your team, you cannot do everything yourself.” “As soon as you can build trust, you can get people to go direct; and just highlight the reasons why they should go direct.” “I truly believe that mindset is everything. It's the foundation for success. Because the only way that you can truly fail is if you quit.” “If you believe in yourself and believe in what you're looking to build, I believe one of the fastest and best ways to get there is to surround yourself with other people who have been there, because, again, you can plug right into them and not have to reinvent the wheel or live with the mistakes.” This episode is brought to you by StayFi — the easiest way to grow your direct bookings! ⁠⁠http://stayfi.com/STRSisterhood⁠⁠ Use the code “SISTERHOOD” at checkout for 50% off your first 3 months.

Stupid News 5-22-2025 6am ...Police Officer received over $600K for a Head Injury she didn't suffer from …Latest Online Trend that Could Kill You …"Spike" the Bearded Dragon is now a Fire Fighter

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with seasoned investor Mark Zawaideh and strategic partner Curt Shewell to unpack what every real estate agent must understand about wealth, leverage, and building a portfolio that will lead you to true financial freedom. Mark shares how he scaled from broke agent to owning over 40 properties—and how one key mindset shift turned $600K in equity into $30M in assets. Together, they break down the dangerous myths agents believe about wealth, why owning a team is not a retirement plan, and how to start thinking like an investor starting today. Key Topics Covered The Scarcity Trap vs. Investor Mindset How Mark's early money beliefs kept him stuck (and how he broke free). The critical difference between “saving” and “scaling” through leverage. Why paying off properties early can actually kill your momentum. Using Real Estate As a Wealth Vehicle Why selling more homes won't build lasting wealth—and what will. How Mark scaled from 1 house to 43 rentals in under 10 years. Turning equity into cash flow: the power of 1031 exchanges and strategic refinancing. How to Make the Shift from Agent to Owner to Owning $100M Portfolio  The real risk: owning just 1-2 rental properties and no game plan. Why scaling to 30, 50, or 100+ doors creates less risk, not more. How to use your real estate business to find deals, not just earn commissions. Building Wealth Through Depreciation & Tax Strategy Why depreciation alone could be worth six figures in tax savings. How Mark paid zero in taxes—and got a refund—while earning 7 figures. The difference between earning more… and keeping more. Scaling Beyond Single-Family into Commercial & Multifamily How Mark turned four homes into a 48-unit apartment complex. The mindset shift from “buy and hold” to “scale and grow.” Multifamily vs. single-family: pros, cons, and what most agents miss. Why Real Estate Teams Are Not an Exit Strategy The hard truth about brokerage valuations and “team” exits. Why most teams become burdens, not assets, without investment income. Using your team to unlock opportunity—not just production. The Investor Mastermind & What's Coming Next How Mark and Curt are creating a community for agents ready to build wealth. Why most agents don't lack opportunity—they lack strategy and proximity. What to expect from their upcoming course, community, and coaching framework.

Terry Rich went from farm kid to national TV, led a zoo from near-bankruptcy to success, then uncovered the biggest lottery fraud in U.S. history. But it wasn't luck or gimmicks that made him a turnaround expert—it was a relentless mix of creativity, calculated risk, and an unshakable ethical compass. When handed a $600K deficit at a failing zoo, he didn't raise millions—he sold poop. Literally. Then raised $15M. At the state lottery, he scaled profits from $58M to $100M—and when a $16M fraud threatened everything, he said no to pressure, exposed the scam, and protected public trust. Now, he teaches leaders how to spot fraud before it happens, engage teams with “no judgment” idea culture, and turn failure into their biggest asset. This episode is packed with real-world lessons from one of America's boldest business troubleshooters. Terry shares: Why failure is the first step to success (and his Tonight Show story proves it) The wild story behind selling lion poop—and how it saved the zoo Why internal fraud really happens—and the 3 signs to watch for The C.O.T. method he created to drive innovation in risk-averse teams How to create a speak-up culture that protects your business What it really takes to lead multi-million-dollar turnarounds Why he believes success is like cocaine—and how that fuels entrepreneurs Key Lessons Failure Fuels Innovation: Terry's greatest business ideas came from flops, not wins—and he teaches you how to leverage yours. Zoo Brew & Poop Sales: Sometimes the craziest ideas (like alcohol at a zoo or selling manure) are what save a business. Fraud Detection Culture: Spotting fraud isn't about luck—it's about culture. Terry shows how he trained teams to speak up early. The $16M Ethical Stand: Under immense pressure, Terry chose integrity—and the result built public trust (and boosted lottery sales). Entrepreneurial Grit: From MTV to municipal zoos to state lotteries, Terry's story proves resilience beats resources every time.

In this episode, we dive into the viral video of a white woman calling a Black child the N-word—and the jaw-dropping fact that she made over $600K in donations afterward. We unpack what this says about whiteness, dehumanization, and the selective empathy that shields white perpetrators while abandoning Black children. We also talk about the staggering global indifference to the suffering of children in Gaza and the disturbing patterns in white responses to harm—especially when the victims aren't white.But it's not all heavy. We also share some real, raw, and hilarious tales from our own parenting lives—because raising kids while trying to raise consciousness means you've got to find the humor somewhere. Join us for an episode that holds both outrage and tenderness, grief and laughter, all at once.

The BRRRR strategy is arguably the fastest way to build wealth with real estate. Just ask Leka Devatha, a Seattle-based investor. She's got ONE BRRRR property this year that could make her $600,000 in profit. And that's ONE home, not an apartment complex. So what is the BRRRR strategy, and why do so many investors write it off instead of trying it in 2025? Are they missing out? Absolutely! BRRRR stands for buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. The basic formula is this: buy a house that needs some improvement, renovate the home (to a scale you're comfortable with), rent out the home to tenants now that it's fixed up, and refinance it. Now that the property is worth more, you may be able to get the bank to pay YOU back your initial down payment and renovation costs due to the increase in equity. Then…repeat until you're financially free. How do you pull off a BRRRR in 2025 with high interest rates, high home prices, and rising renovation costs? Dave and Leka are walking through their own BRRRR deals, showing you how to successfully BRRRR and do it without using ANY of your own money (seriously!). In This Episode We Cover: The BRRRR strategy explained and whether it still works in 2025 Leka's BRRRR deals making her up to $600K! The best property types for BRRRRing to get more cash flow, higher appreciation, and bigger returns  How to use other people's money (OPM) to fund your BRRRR investments  The “DADU” strategy that could skyrocket your home price with one savvy addition  And So Much More!
