I'm thrilled to share this deeply moving conversation with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. Sun Yong's journey from a disabled orphan in South Korea to a successful options trader and entrepreneur in America is a testament to the power of resilience, taking action despite fear, and never giving up on your dreams. In this episode, Sun Yong opens up about her early childhood in Korean orphanages, learning to walk at age six, being adopted by an American family, and working her dream job as a medical assistant for 33 years. But here's where her story takes an incredible turn - at age 54, she made the bold decision to retire early with only $10 in her checking account and teach herself options trading as a "hobby." What happened next will inspire you: Sun Yong developed her own trading system and turned that hobby into a six-figure income in her first year. She shares the practical details of her journey, from using virtual money to practice, to taking a home equity loan to fund her real trading account, to eventually turning her husband's $164,000 retirement fund into over $600,000 in just 11 months. This conversation is packed with wisdom about taking calculated risks, the importance of financial education, and how money can be a tool for creating the life you truly want. Sun Yong's earnestness and integrity shine through every moment of our discussion.   Key Topics: 1. How childhood trauma shaped her money mindset and resourcefulness 2. Leaving her "dream job" after 33 years to pursue financial independence 3. Learning options trading at age 54 with zero tech experience 4. Using virtual money to master trading before risking real capital 5. Turning $164K retirement funds into $600K in 11 months 6. Managing multiple revenue streams in minutes per day 7. Taking action despite fear and imperfect timing 8.

Ep 225 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping food safety, viral culture, and wellness misinformation — with their usual dose of snark and sincerity. First up: A Florida mom's devastating lawsuit after raw milk labeled "not for human consumption" allegedly sickened her toddler and led to miscarriage. The hosts unpack the regulatory gray areas, the role of wellness influencers, and why "it's safe until it isn't" captures the raw milk debate perfectly. Then, Arizona's viral dance crew takes center stage. These young girls from Mesa's Impact Dance company danced their way to internet fame with "Tulsa Time" and scored a dream moment on stage with Lainey Wilson. The hosts celebrate age-appropriate representation and genuine talent in a world of overly sexualized youth performance. Next, they taste-test Lady Gaga's viral wine and Diet Coke combination (spoiler: Tara's not impressed). What started as a trendy drink reveal turns into a cultural lesson about Spanish cocktail traditions and how American influencers often miss the mark on cultural context. And finally, a deep dive into GMO cheese misinformation. When a wellness influencer with 600K followers claims Pfizer is secretly putting GMOs in 90% of US cheese, the hosts break down the science behind fermentation-produced chymosin and why fear-mongering about food processes helps no one. BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for their disco debrief on Ballerina Farm's new brick-and-mortar store in Utah, plus sponsor shoutouts that'll have you stocking your pantry with heritage flour and farm-fresh everything.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Would you ever run two agencies at once? What if splitting your brand was the smartest way to protect and grow both? Today's featured guest spotted a booming opportunity in a regulated market—but knew that advertising those services alongside his work for conservative and tech clients could hurt his existing agency. His solution? Launch a separate brand. The move paid off as the regulated market surged during the pandemic. He shares what it's like to manage rapid growth, why he built a true people-first culture from day one, and how he stays optimistic even when agency life gets messy. Greg Peters is the founder of 4B Marketing and Hybrid Marketing in Denver, Colorado. 4B focuses on tech, energy, and government sectors, while Hybrid serves regulated markets—most notably the cannabis industry. A former tech sales pro turned serial entrepreneur, Greg's journey into agency ownership may have been accidental, but what's not accidental is how quickly he scaled. They hit $1M in revenue in their second year — and his people-first philosophy became the secret weapon behind his rapid growth. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why he chose to run two agencies. Growing to $1 million in just two years. Growing during the pandemic thanks to a controversial niche. Staying positive when agency life gets messy.

Check out e2msolutions.com/smartagency and get 10% off for the first three months of service. Running Two Agencies for Two Very Different Worlds Greg didn't set out to run two agencies. The split happened because of the cannabis side of the business. 4B's conservative government and tech clients wouldn't exactly appreciate a cannabis case study on the homepage. So Hybrid was born to serve the regulated, fast-growing cannabis market without spooking the more traditional side. This approach also positioned both agencies to thrive in their respective niches without brand confusion. For agency owners wondering when is it time to create new brands, separate brands aren't always about chasing new markets—they can be about protecting existing ones. If your positioning or client mix creates brand tension, a spin-off can give you room to grow in both spaces. From Accidental Agency Owner to $1M in Two Years Greg's path was a mix of corporate burnout and entrepreneurial curiosity. After years in tech sales and a detour into solar energy, he realized the big-company grind wasn't for him. So he launched a go-to-market consultancy for telecom.. Once creative work started flowing in—and his team started growing—he embraced the agency model. The real jump happened when he let go. In year two, Greg went from $600K to $1M by putting the right people in the right seats and empowering them to run their own “business units” within the agency. This is a shift most agency owners agree is vital to see true growth. However, it's usually uncomfortable and it takes time to make the decision to go all in. Greg made the leap quickly inspired by Richard Branson's philosophy in The Virgin Way. Years before starting the agency and as he read the book, he had already decided his mantra as a business owner should be putting people first and thus the people will put the client first. The result was a faster scale without burning out. The Pandemic Pivot: Cannabis Keeps Growing While many agencies hit pause in 2020, Greg's cannabis clients went into overdrive. With consumers stuck at home (and shopping local), demand spiked. That meant more competition, and suddenly the different cannabis providers needed more marketing to stand out. Hybrid Marketing doubled down on local search, “near me” campaigns, and brand differentiation—keeping clients top-of-mind while the industry boomed. For agency owners, this is a masterclass in following the growth. Greg didn't predict cannabis would save the year, but he positioned his agency to move quickly when the opportunity showed up. Sometimes the best growth strategy is staying close to your clients' markets and being ready to ride the wave. When the Org Chart Backfires Not every growth move is a win. One of Greg's biggest lessons came from rolling out an org chart he thought would streamline things—only to find it created confusion for clients and tension among the team. It was a gut punch, but also a turning point. He learned to check himself and remember this is only his first agency and there's still much to learn. Luckily, he was quick to strip out the toxicity created by that moment because culture eats strategy for breakfast. The goal isn't just to have a structure, it's to have one that actually works for your team and your clients. Staying Positive When Agency Life Gets Messy Greg has always naturally found himself on the more optimistic side of life. But his optimism isn't naive—it's built on grit, a strong support system, and relentless curiosity. From his wife's early encouragement (“It'll be okay,” even when the bank account said otherwise) to his own belief in learning every day, Greg credits mindset as much as skill for his success. For Greg, your network truly is your net worth and the more you can talk to people with the aim of creating a positive impact—whether that is on the financial business or helping somebody find a job or connecting them to a resource that'll help them—you put a lot of good stuff out into the universe without expectation, you'll get it back. Finally, curiosity is the most valuable trait an agency owner can have. Read widely, talk to people in and outside your industry, and always be asking, “What if?” It's that curiosity that fuels innovation, keeps you ahead of trends, and helps you navigate the inevitable ups and downs.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. MiG-21 Retires After nearly 60 years in service, India's iconic MiG-21 is flying into history. Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh marked the farewell with a formation flight alongside No. 23 Squadron, led by Sqn Ldr Priya. Official retirement comes on September 26, closing a legendary chapter in IAF history. Trump Targets India From the Oval Office, Donald Trump praised China while warning India. He spared Beijing but pressed ahead with a 50% tariff on Indian imports, citing New Delhi's sharp rise in Russian oil purchases—from under 1% before the Ukraine war to 42% after. Half the tariff is already in place; the rest lands this week. MAGA vs Trump Trump also stirred his base by saying the US would welcome 600,000 Chinese students. Supporters erupted online, calling it a betrayal of “America First.” With 277,000 Chinese students already in US universities and new visa restrictions announced earlier this year, his comment struck many as contradictory.

228: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I talk with David Hansen, Arturo Paturzo, and Emanuel Wijkhuisen, three real estate investors who teamed up to take on a high-stakes land entitlement project in Alabama.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/228)This deal was originally meant to be a simple land flip, but they quickly pivoted into a full-scale platted subdivision. They faced many challenges: a shady real estate agent, a ghosting engineer, hidden wetlands, last-minute developer surprises, sewer quotes jumping by $150K, and even a paved road that mysteriously appeared just before closing.We dive deep into their process, what they learned, and how they turned a risky $250K investment into nearly $600K in profit without building anything.If you're curious about how land entitlement deals work, how to work with builders and developers, or want to hear a wild real estate story packed with lessons, this one's for you!

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.
