Podcasts about 6M

In this episode we answer emails from Jon, David, and Trevor.  We discuss teaching teens personal finance without boring them and learning by doing, an early retirement checkup for a high-saving household confirming a $3.6M portfolio can support retirement plans, getting granular on expenses and planning for health care costs, asset location basics, and a useful managed futures white paper.Links:If You Can Book:  Microsoft Word - If You Can.docSet For Life:  Set for Life: An All-Out Approach to Early Financial Freedom: Trench, Scott: 9781947200807: Amazon.com: BooksFIRE For Dummies:  Amazon.com : fire for dummiesSo Good They Can't Ignore You:  So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love: Newport, Cal: 9781455509126: Amazon.com: BooksMeketa Managed Futures Paper:  MEKETA_Trend-Following.pdfBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Most money advice for teenagers boils down to three lines, yet somehow it still doesn't stick. We dig into why that happens and how to fix it with a simple shift: stop treating personal finance like a reading assignment and start treating it like a hands-on skill. With no-fee trading, fractional shares, and AI tools that can summarize any classic finance book on demand, the real edge is helping young investors build confidence by actually using accounts, placing trades, and watching what happens.We share book recommendations that still earn a spot on the list, including a short starter PDF that delivers the core principles fast, plus a more modern early-career path-to-financial-independence perspective. Then we make the case that the most important “money book” for many teens isn't about investing at all. It's about building skills and career capital so earning, saving, and investing become possible in the first place.Next, we answer a detailed listener question from a burned-out attorney with $3.6M saved who wants to know if he's basically at the finish line. We walk through how to sanity-check retirement readiness, why expense tracking and health care planning matter, and how to think about asset location for tax efficiency. We also tackle the mortgage decision as the personal part of personal finance, and discuss liquidity options like HELOCs and low-rate brokerage margin as tools to keep flexibility.We close with a listener-shared managed futures and trend following white paper and why managed futures can diversify both stocks and bonds in a resilient portfolio.

Off the top of the podcast, the voice of Overdrive's August Trucker of the Month Dee Zeeman, in a business partnership with wife, Bev, in the back office and hauling for now close to a decade now with authority as White Pine Transport. The name's a combination of a couple different horse farms he remembers from his youth growing up in Utah, and as he tells up top, a name that just worked. Yet for this installment of our Trucker of theYearr contenders' series of podcasts, we'll emphasize, of course, that's there's much more to a one-truck business than the name. The Zeemans have made real strides as independents in this their second such tour through business following their first in the 1990s. They truly follow through on promises made, doing the hard work and doing it right, in spite of all the challenges the business and life itself throw at them. "We've developed a reputation, and we really try to get stuff there when it's supposed to be there," Bev noted. If there is ever a problem, "we're old-school," Dee said. "We believe in commuinication" early and often. Challenges have been real over what's been a roughly 6M-mile, 40-plus-year career behind the wheel for Dee since he got his chauffer's license in the early 1980s. Roughly six years ago, he suffered what would ultimately be a mild stroke, in fact, and attributes a quick recovery, back on the horse in just several days, to more than the fact that Bev got him to the hospital near immediately. "Intestinal fortitude," he said. "I wasn't going to let it get me down. To put it simply, I cowboy'd up and fought through it." It wasn't the first time the pair have worked together through a big life change,as you'll hear in their story. The Zeemans were named Overdrive's August Truckers of the Month, the recognition putting them in running for the 2026 Overdrive Trucker of the Year award.

Sean Emory, Founder and CIO of Avory & Co., discusses Oura's planned IPO and argues it signals the accelerating consumerization of healthcare. He highlights Oura's scale and financials, $1.2B in revenue, 74% growth, GAAP profitability, 5M paying subscribers, and 3.6M rings sold in the past 12 months, while emphasizing the story is bigger than "the next Fitbit."He frames the shift as driven by cheaper and smaller sensors, consumers paying more directly for health through higher deductibles, GLP-1s, and cash-pay services, and AI making health data more usable. Using Oura's S-1 cohort data (72% women, 73% age 45 or younger, 63% earning $100K or more, over half with a chronic condition), he explains why Oura won by targeting finger-based wearables, improving signal quality and wear time, and pairing hardware with subscriptions. He runs Oura lightly through Avory's 6M framework and flags retention and churn as the key unknown until more cohort data is public.Chapters00:00 Oura IPO Snapshot01:10 Channel Intro and Approach02:03 Why Oura Matters Now03:56 Big Tech Health Moves04:51 Three Forces Driving Change07:04 Who Uses Oura09:56 Winning the Finger13:31 Subscription and Engagement Loop16:06 6M Investor Lens19:59 What Comes NextMore from Avory & Co.Newsletter (Investing with Data): www.investingwithdata.com Website: avoryfunds.comInformational only.

James Anderson, Chairman & CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V: GSVR) (OTCQX: GSVRF), joins us for a comprehensive update on Q2 2026 financials, year-to-date operations trends, the 16,000 meters of underground development work underway, and the key initiatives for their ongoing 75,000 meter drill program at each mine.   Guanajuato Silver produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, the San Ignacio mine, and their recently acquired Bolanitos Gold-Silver Mine. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.  In addition to these 5 producing mines, the Company also has 3 past-producing exploration and development projects in their portfolio at the El Horcon Mine, Pinguico Mine, and Cebada Mine.    Q2 2026 Highlights   Revenue of $42.5M was consistent with the previous quarter, where revenue totalled $43.0M. Over 95% of revenue in Q2 was derived from the sale of precious metals. Net income remained positive in Q2 at $557,000; and $6.3M for the first half of 2026. This was the Company's second consecutive quarter of net positive income. Silver production of 347,481 ounces represents a 2% increase over the previous quarter. 57% of revenue for Q2 was generated from silver sales. The gold-rich Bolanitos Mine remains in the process of ramp-up and full integration. The Company's debt was substantially reduced in Q2; a total of 3,029 ounces of gold were paid down on the Company's gold loan with Ocean Partners UK Ltd; this accelerated repayment eliminated all future monthly payments at a significant discount to the current gold price. The Company now has only one final payment due in April 2028.  Positive mine operating income for the quarter; the Company earned $9.1M in Q2 and $23.4M from operations for the first half of the year. Adjusted EBITDA* was also positive for the quarter at $5.8M and $20.6M for H1 2026. 300 ounces of gold sales per month were hedged at the fixed price of $5220/ounce; this hedge began at the beginning of the quarter and will run until December 2026. This hedge represents approximately 25% of current gold production. 20,000 ounces of silver sales per month were sold forward at the fixed price of $84.50/ounce; this hedge began in February and will run until September 2026. An additional 20,000 ounces of silver sales per month were hedged using a collar with a minimum price of $80/ounce and maximum price of $93 per ounce; this hedge began in April and will run until December 2026. Combined, these hedges represent approximately 34% of current silver production. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $19.9M at the end of the quarter.   We reviewed how the All-In Sustaining Costs were affected not just by currency fluctuations and a large investment back into the 5 mines, but also due to shifts in the gold:silver ratio, and how that skews the silver equivalent metrics.   James outlines the key ongoing 2026 initiatives with the ongoing 16,000 meters of underground development work paired with the 75,000-meter drill program, currently utilizing 8 drill rigs to augment exploration initiatives. This is largest exploration program the company has ever deployed, with some areas getting the first meaningful resource expansion in many years.     If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

In this episode, I sit down with Robbie Sturgess and Martin Doig, co-founders of Verto People, to unpack how they shrank the business from 20 heads back to 14 to fix a culture and standards problem, then rebuilt it into a business on track for a £6M year.We dive into the BD playbook that rebuilt their sales culture, the DISC-based hiring filter that's pushed probation pass rates to 90%, and the EMI equity scheme built with Tom Glanfield that could put an £18.9M pot in the team's hands.Connect with Robbie here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbiesturgess/Connect with Martin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-doig/-------------------------Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FA0qdHFJicE-------------------------Podcast Sponsors: Claim your exclusive savings from our partners with the links below:Sourcewhale - Check Out Sourcewhale & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.Atlas - Check Out Atlas & Claim Your Exclusive Offer HereRaise - Check Out Raise & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.-------------------------Want more content like this?The Wednesday Debrief is our free weekly newsletter for recruiters who take their craft seriously.

RI1FJ – Franz Jozef Land - The RI1FJL DXpedition team in Franz Josef Land reports a very weak internet connection, causing log uploads to be slow, fragmented, and unreliable on the first attempt. The team has settled into a work routine but is tired. Propagation has been unstable, with strong signals often fading quickly. Weather has been mostly favorable, though windy, with temperatures around freezing. All of the team are doing well and they will continue to operate for another 8-9 days. 5W – Samoa - SP5AEQ, Jacek, will begin operating as 5W0AF on September 21 from a location near Apia. The operation will cover the 10–40 meter bands using SSB only, with a possible attempt on 80 meters during the final days of his three-week stay. QSL requests should be sent via SP7DQR, and logs will be available online with uploads planned at least once per day. OQRS will also be available, with bureau and LoTW free; LoTW uploads are expected a few weeks after the trip concludes. C5 – The Gambia - C5R, Lui, says he is starting to pack his bags “slowly, slowly,” for Africa. He leaves Milan, Italy for Banjul, The Gambia, via Casablanca, Morocco, arriving in Banjul October 1, for a stay until November 4. He says F5RAV and M0NPT will join him for the CQWW SSB weekend and they plan all bands CW, SSB, FT4, FT8 and satellite, during their days there.

Led by N4ML, Max Freedman, eight young hams from the United States, Lithuania, Japan, and Malawi will plan, build, and operate the expedition themselves, with veteran DXpeditioners W6IZT, Gregg, and W0GJ, Glenn, serving only as advisors. In partnership with YOTA and supported by a Northern California DX Foundation equipment grant, VK9XY will also allow 30–40 additional young operators worldwide to gain remote DXpedition experience through NexGenRiB2 stations. Donations help cover every team member's travel and operating expenses so cost does not keep talented young operators from participating, and donors receive a personalized Certificate of Appreciation at vk9xy2026.com.

But the real edge is not simply getting funded. It is having a repeatable process, controlling risk, and surviving the losing streaks that blow up most accounts.In this reaction, Christopher looks at the quant-finance principles behind the strategy, the role of probability and expectancy, and the risk-management rules that matter far more than a single big payout. He also explains what stock and options traders can take from a systematic approach, even if they never trade a prop-firm account.In this video, you'll discover:Why prop-firm rules change the way you must manage riskThe math every trader needs before increasing position sizeHow a rules-based strategy reduces emotional decisionsThe difference between a strong process and a great-looking resultWhat to watch for before risking money on any trading systemWatch JJ Simon's original video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMGhHCjYG5c

We started this podcast last week espousing how crazy the last several hours had been for this fanbase, and it has not slowed down one bit.  One thing you can be sure of, there are no more bored gifs in the discord being posted lamenting SKC's lack of action.  Now, that doesn't mean there hasn't been action that led to a “not like this” response, but David Lee and Co have been active, and continue to be as the clock ticks down on this summer transfer window.Andre Luiz arrived on Sunday, visa in hand and ready to get to work, and in most cases you'd think that would be the big story of the week!  But no, it was actually 48 hours earlier, when Fabrizio Romano of all people reported that Sporting KC was in negotiations to send leading goalscorer Dejan Joveljic to the Seattle Sounders in a $6M cash trade!  To say that it caught a lot of us off guard would be putting it mildly.  We will dig into the details of this deal and why we think SKC made it, as well as what it means for the next week as the club continues to look to re-tool.There was also a player arrival announced, as Owen Wolff was announced as the club's newest U22 initiative signing, coming from Austin FC in a $4.5M cash for trade that could rise as high as $7.6M if all performance bonuses are met.  Wolff was in the top 5 of MLS' annual 22 under 22 ranking last year, and brings immediate MLS quality to the roster with lots of potential upside.In Potpourri this week Pablo Maurer reported on what appears to be the new MLS playoff structure to go in place at the end of the first fall-spring season, and it mirrors that of a sport you probably wouldn't expect.  The Current continue to give up early leads and have to battle back while having notably poor set piece defense, what we liked in MLS this week as well as a quick preview of Vancouver coming to town this weekend.

In this episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Kiko Zang, business executive, tech founder, and opinion leader building human-centric consumer products. Kiko is the Founder & CEO of Chomp, a social game that rewards honesty instead of punishing it and she's on a mission to fix what she calls the "performative internet." Kiko opens up about her path from boarding school in China to New Zealand and the United States, the anti-authoritarian streak she carried as a kid, and the long road to understanding her own identity across cultures. The conversation gets candid as she discusses her experience with open relationships and how it reshaped her views on love, trust, kindness, and loyalty then turns to the bigger picture: why social media rewards performance over authenticity, why women in particular self-censor online, and why honest human belief may be the scarcest, most valuable data in the age of AI. Kiko also shares her founder journey from COO at Orca (one of Solana's largest decentralized exchanges, where she helped raise $19M and grow the platform to $1B+ in 24-hour trading volume) to building Chomp, which drew 50,000 beta users sharing millions of honest answers and raised $3.6M from backers including BlueYard, JSquare, and Accomplice placing her among the 2% of female-led startups to raise venture capital. Chomp launches on iOS in 2026. Equal parts personal memoir and founder story, this episode covers identity, relationships, resilience, the loneliness epidemic, the funding gap for female founders, and what it takes to build something real in a "dead internet" full of bots and AI slop. Keywords: Kiko Zang, boarding school identity, open relationships podcast, cultural identity, female tech founder, women in venture capital, social media and authenticity, dead internet theory, Chomp app, Solana Orca DEX, honest opinions app, read the room, loneliness epidemic, Better Call Daddy podcast, Reena Friedman Watts

Andrew and Amelia just took a Central Park West apartment to market that hadn't been touched in 55 years. Everyone expected it to sell way below ask, and they got multiple offers OVER ask, on a place needing over a million dollars in work. Their read: this is a brand new thing that's happening. Six months ago, estate-condition apartments sat. Right now, if you have the right address and light, they're going to multiple bids. "The market is not the market. It's the Upper West Side. It's the Upper East Side. It's Tribeca. It's West Village, where you almost can't overprice too much because there's no inventory at any point in time." Noah Rosenblatt and John Walkup sit down with Andrew Phillips and Amelia Gewirtz, top-producing team at Brown Harris Stevens with over $1 billion in career sales, top 1.5% of all brokers nationally, and the team that sold out 155 West 68th, the fastest-selling new development building in NYC at 200 units in 18 months. What you'll learn: Estate condition just flipped in NYC. Six months ago they sat. Today they're getting multiple offers over ask, even needing $1M+ in work. Andrew and Amelia's read on why, and what makes an estate apartment sellable right now. Parents are buying apartments for their kids. "You can't live in your stock portfolio." Rentals are so high that parents are buying instead. Real segment of the market right now. The pied-à-terre effect they're actually seeing. Buyers walking in for $5M three-beds and downsizing to studios, one-beds, and two-beds to duck the tax. Not fewer buyers, just smaller purchases. The Walmart staging hack. $200 couches, $75 coffee tables, glass tables, modern chairs. Direct Walmart and Amazon links to sellers. No rental time limits. Buyers have literally asked to buy the coffee tables. Plus the inflatable-bed-with-headboard trick for empty bedrooms. The staging move most sellers miss. Get rid of your curtains if you're not staying. Post-COVID buyers care about light and views above almost everything else. The market is not the market. West Village has zero inventory at any point in time and you almost can't overprice. Upper East is different. Tribeca is different. If your read isn't neighborhood-specific, it isn't a read. How to actually challenge an appraisal. Amelia's won these. Her method: document the exact "view break" floor with photos of the floors above and below. Actionable if you've ever felt cheated by an appraisal. How they win listings. Andrew checks every dinner-party attendee's address and last building sale beforehand. Ten minutes of prep looks like ten years of expertise. Amelia's first $6M all-cash sale. A referral from a poor musician who worked for a rich person. "Even the hotdog man knows people." A rethink of what "sphere of influence" actually means. The song hack. Amelia wrote a song for a Greenpoint wreck at 146.5 Java. 17 offers. The winning bidder's kids sang it back in their offer email. For independent pricing intelligence on a specific NYC deal, UrbanDigs Advisor gives you the read with no broker incentives in the way.

The episode identifies an acute shift in liability and accountability across the software and AI supply chain, where risk increasingly moves from vendors to service providers and operators. This dynamic is illustrated through incomplete vendor patches, AI tool output, and changing regulatory structures. Companies like N-able experienced authentication bypass flaws in widely used remote monitoring platforms, while industry-standard software licenses continue to disclaim warranties and cap or exclude liability, leaving providers responsible for the consequences. A key development is N-able's N-central authentication flaw, wherein a patch issued for an earlier vulnerability proved incomplete according to the Federal Vulnerability Database, enabling attackers to exploit the same vector. The finalized fix arrived days after exploitation began, but all previous builds — including those labeled patched — remained exposed. Simultaneously, research from Anthropic and disclosures by OpenAI revealed AI models acting outside intended boundaries, with incident response often lagging behind real-world impact. Notably, neither affected vendor assumed material liability, and disclosure of the incidents was voluntary, not compelled by contract or regulation. Meanwhile, IBM's annual cost of data breach report found AI-driven attacks up 56% with average breach costs nearing $6M, further emphasizing financial exposure. These incidents exemplify a structural trend: vendors disclaim output, while client agreements with IT providers warrant monitoring, maintenance, and remediation, resulting in providers accepting risk not assumed upstream. Regulatory responses differ by geography — in the U.S., CISA's only binding obligation was for operators to remediate vulnerabilities by a set deadline, not for vendors to prevent or report them. The EU's forthcoming Cyber Resilience Act will require reporting of exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours and is expanding product liability to software, but these rules benefit consumers and regulators rather than business buyers and still stop short of assigning financial obligations to vendors. The operational effect for MSPs and IT service providers is increased contract risk, as provider promises to clients typically outpace the limited, warranty-free commitments of vendors. The rate and scope of vulnerabilities, amplified by AI-driven development and remediation, add volume and complexity without increasing the rate of effective outcomes. Providers are advised to reconcile their own service agreements with the actual commitments of software suppliers, clarify for clients where their true responsibilities lie, and prepare for a procurement environment where scrutiny of vendor warranties becomes the norm rather than the exception. 00:00 The Ones Who Patched Got Hit 04:16 Sold As Is, All The Way Down 08:02 The Only Enforceable Promise 11:47 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Pax8 LogMeIn

Guest: JB Anderton of the Doctor Who Gives a F#! podcast joins John and Jim, as he does for every multi-Doctor story, to make sense of the un-make-sense-able. Note: This is a hiatus episode from our Wilderness Years coverage, released early on the Patreon feed and arriving on the main feed August 9th to celebrate Doctor Who Podcast Day. A warm welcome to everyone joining us for the occasion! Love the podcast? Consider joining us on Patreon for early access, exclusive episodes, and the option to commission your own Doctor Who story. Show Notes: For the show's 30th anniversary in 1993, the BBC gave Doctor Who fans a two-part, 3D, charity crossover with EastEnders in which the Rani traps the Doctor's incarnations in a time loop and scrambles Doctors and companions together at random. It is, by common agreement among the hosts, the Doctor Who equivalent of the Star Wars Holiday Special—not to be taken remotely seriously, but a genuine curiosity worth seeing at least once, if only because it's one more chance to watch these beloved actors play these beloved characters. How We Even Got Here: The Ghost of The Dark Dimension Before there was Dimensions in Time, there was The Dark Dimension—an ambitious, Tom Baker-centered 30th-anniversary feature that collapsed months before it would have aired. The hosts (with JB drawing on John Pertwee's own memoir) untangle the competing accounts of what happened: budget mismanagement, pressure from the American rights holders, and a script that the other surviving Doctors felt reduced them to walk-on cameos. What emerged instead was a bargain-basement Children in Need special built on a standing EastEnders set, produced by John Nathan-Turner as if it were a real episode (production code and all), and shot around the soap's schedule for no fee. A Cast List That Astonishes—and the Gaps That Intrigue The hosts marvel at the sheer roll call of returning Doctors and companions, puzzle over who's conspicuously absent, and confront the parade of EastEnders faces that leaves them defaulting to "if I don't recognize them, they must be from the soap." There's the interactive phone-in twist that raised a small fortune for charity, the Noel Edmonds framing device, the rave-version theme, and Kate O'Mara gamely chewing the scenery as the third choice for the villain. Everybody's In Character (With Two Very Notable Exceptions) A running thread: nearly everyone slips back into their roles with real commitment—even in three seconds of screen time—which makes the two who don't stand out all the more. The hosts have plenty to say about a phoned-in performance from a certain fan-favorite Doctor reading off cue cards in a sound booth, and a beloved companion stranded in a costume and a barrage of technobabble that left one host cold (with a fair hearing of the very human, very practical reasons behind the wardrobe choice). Along the way: Susan's grandfather problem, the disembodied busts of two late Doctors, a monorail glimpsed in the background, and the eternal question of why the Seventh Doctor hauls all his equipment outside the TARDIS. A Menagerie Missing Its Most Famous Monster Why are there no Daleks among the Rani's captured specimens? The hosts dig into the rights tangle behind their absence—and what it might mean for the show's future as Doctor Who itself heads to tender in 2026. The Canonical Silver Linings Amid the chaos, the hosts find the moments worth preserving: the only on-screen meeting of the Sixth Doctor and the Brigadier, and Nicholas Courtney's Brigadier arriving by helicopter—giving the actor, if you squint, a claim to having worked with all seven classic Doctors. Production Details: Broadcast: November 26–27, 1993 (across Children in Need and the Noel Edmonds show) Production Code: 7R Format: Two parts, presented in 3D, with an interactive phone-in ending Villain: The Rani (Kate O'Mara, the third choice after two others) Setting/Crossover: EastEnders' Albert Square Predecessor Project: The Dark Dimension (cancelled 30th-anniversary feature) Charity: Raised over £100,000 for Children in Need on the phone-in alone 13.8M (part one), 13.6M (part two) — inflated by the EastEnders crossover Coming Up Next: Monday (Patreon Exclusive 183): A disco version of the theme, the Memory TARDIS, a look back at the first six Doctors, and the comics "The Grief" and "Ravens."

He points out that the reef is the most exposed location in the Baltic Sea, “more rock than island, more sea than shelter.” To be dealt with before the first QSO is made is the weather, landing conditions, antennas, power and constant wind and waves, he says. They plan 80-10 CW, SSB and FT8.This week, the DX Mentor Podcast will feature a discussion with two operators from the upcoming 2027 VP0SG DXpedition to the South Georgia Islands.

It's Fighting Back With an Army of Immunity LawsMore than a decade after investigations found that Exxon Mobil had known about the dangers of global warming since the 1970s but publicly downplayed the threat, lawsuits against oil companies have proliferated. There are nearly 40 of these cases pending across the countryIn the meantime, the industry has been mobilizing a counterattack against the lawsuits with the help of the Trump administration and Republican politicians.Republicans are trying to pass laws to grant oil majors immunity to these kinds of lawsuits, with success in several states so far.Utah, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have recently signed laws shielding fossil fuel companies from lawsuits related to greenhouse gas emissionsOil executives have also gotten help from the federal government, following an executive order from President Donald Trump last year directing the attorney general to prioritize blocking climate lawsuits by states.This May, the Justice Department responded to Minnesota's climate lawsuit against Big Oil with a lawsuit of its own, just as the state's case was moving into the discovery phase. It said Minnesota was undermining “American energy dominance” and attempting to regulate greenhouse gases, which should fall under the purview of federal law—echoing the oil industry's well-known argument.Elon Musk Is Quietly Turning to This Fossil Fuel to Power His AI AmbitionsSam Altman Announces That the Singularity Has Arrived: a hypothetical future point in time when technological growth becomes autonomous, uncontrollable, and irreversible, fundamentally transforming human civilization“We are now, like, in the singularity ...

In this episode, Jason and Jordan sit down with Neil Glatt of Neil Glatt Sales and Strategy for a deep dive into what it really takes to build a high-performing sales engine in the green industry. Neil shares his journey from selling Boy Scout popcorn door-to-door to helping grow a snow and landscape company from a single truck to $42M in annual revenue, and how that experience shaped his approach to B2B sales, process design, and scalable growth. The conversation covers the difference between B2B and residential sales, why most personality tests fail at predicting sales success, and how Neil uses sales-specific assessments to identify true "all-star" salespeople—including traits like money tolerance, handling rejection, and sales DNA. Jason and Jordan open up about their own businesses' growth spurts and slowdowns—from hurricane-fueled demand and drought-driven slumps to the challenges of hiring sales reps without overloading operations—and Neil unpacks concepts like fractional sales management, designing a compensation structure that doesn't cap top performers, and building a sustainable pipeline through relationships and referrals. Whether you're trying to go from $3M to $6M, hire your first salesperson, or finally get serious about commercial work and sales leadership, this episode gives you a clear, real-world look at how to build a sales system that actually scales. Connect with Jason and Jordan:

Maya Kadouri gets rental inquiries every couple of days on her sales listings. Not from buyers. From potential tenants. Trophy $10M+ owners asking "would the seller be open to just renting it?" That's what a rental exhaustion feeding frenzy looks like in Manhattan's luxury market in mid-2026. And it's just one of the signals Maya is seeing that the market is shifting under everyone's feet. "It's not about the number. It's about the trust. If you didn't do the early work of establishing that, the hard conversations later are a lot harder." Noah Rosenblatt and John Walkup sit down with Maya Kadouri, Douglas Elliman broker, top 3% at Elliman, 15-year veteran with over $2 billion in career residential sales, and former Director of Sales at The Belnord (yes, the "Only Murders in the Building" building). We get into the market shift she's seeing right now, how the pied-à-terre tax is quietly reshaping buyer behavior, the way AI is changing every consumer conversation, and the origin story that shaped her entire approach. What you'll learn: The market just shifted from trophy to $2-6M. Q1 and Q2 were carried by $10M+ apartments. The latest Olshan Report: 20 of 29 sales under $6M, only ONE trophy sale recorded. Maya's read on what's driving it. Luxury rental exhaustion is now real. Tenant inquiries on sales listings every couple of days. Prices running way above market. A feeding frenzy at the top of the market that mirrors what's been happening in the rental market all year. The pied-à-terre tax is changing behavior three ways. Some buyers pause their search. Some pull out of active deals. Some pivot to under $5M to sit below the threshold. The industry is still absorbing the two-phase rollout. Foreign buyers now show up with ChatGPT comp reports. The AI-vs-broker challenge is real, especially with international buyers. Maya's approach: use AI to check what buyers are hearing, then advise around what the model misses. It's an assistant, not a replacement. How Maya actually wins listings. Not the number. Not the marketing plan. Trust. Established early. So when the hard price conversation comes, and it always does, the seller takes your lead. The origin story that shaped everything. Maya got into real estate because she had a bad experience with a lender and thought consumers deserved a better-informed, more transparent advisor. That framing runs through her entire practice. The Only Murders in the Building effect. As former Director of Sales at The Belnord, Maya saw the show pull young buyers into pre-war NYC. Kids watching Hulu were the ones telling their parents to book showings. Ties directly into the co-op market comeback. The pre-war co-op comeback is happening. The luxury co-op market recently outpaced luxury condos. Value, inventory tightness, and pre-war aesthetic appeal are rotating this segment back to relevance.

Dr. Mark Costes presents the 2026 Golden Rhino Award case studies, honoring two standout transformations: Dr. Blake Hamlin and Dr. Collin Myrick, both UT Houston grads who joined DSI feeling successful but stuck and isolated. He walks through their application letters and financial scorecards, showing how each more than tripled their practices in three years—Hamlin from $1.6M to $5.37M, and Myrick from $2.2M to nearly $10M—largely by clarifying their model and vision before scaling. The two then join Costes on stage to unpack how they did it. Hamlin credits a relentless focus on a few core KPIs (reappointment rate, answering every call) and a marketing breakthrough, scaling spend from $5,000 to $45,000-plus a month to multiply new patients while holding overhead steady. Myrick points to vision, mission, and core values as his foundation, plus finding his integrator, Darcy, which freed him to lead as a CEO and say yes to rapid multi-location expansion across his rural Florida hometown.

Problems Scale Faster Than Revenue. Here Is the Fix with Nick Avaria   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/   You hired people so you could step back. Instead, you are more in the weeds than before, the business feels harder to run than it did at half the size, and profit is somehow lower despite the growth. That is not a people problem. That is the missing middle, and it has a structure, a cost, and a fix. Nick Avaria has bought and sold seven agencies, all profitably. He has watched founders hit this wall time after time at $3M, $5M, even $8M. And in this episode, he breaks down exactly why growth makes things worse before they get better, and what to do about it in the right order.   In This Episode: Why treating profit as a leftover instead of a design choice is the most expensive mistake in the $2M to $10M range The founder's premium: why you close sales at 10 to 20% higher rates than any salesperson you hire, and why delegating sales too early destroys revenue The missing middle: why scaling without a management layer sends businesses backward from $12M to $6M and costs 12 to 18 months to recover The specific order to replace yourself in your own business (and why most founders get it backwards) Why marketing is the hardest function to hand off and what a 3 to 9-month handoff really looks like Why the best executives do not work for founders, and what it takes to become the kind of leader they will work for AI as a win-more button: why it amplifies great people and makes mediocre work worse at speed   Key Takeaways: Profit must be designed in at the start. It is never a leftover. Your close rate as the founder is 10 to 20% higher than any professional salesperson you hire. That gap has a dollar value. Problems scale faster than revenue. A structural flaw at $2M is more expensive at $4M and potentially catastrophic at $8M. The delegation order: admin first, delivery second, marketing third, sales fourth, leadership last. The best managers and executives will not work for you while you are still operating as a founder. That shift is on you.   About Nick Avaria: Nick is a serial agency entrepreneur who has scaled multiple companies to 7- and 8-figure success, buying and selling seven agencies along the way. With firsthand experience merging leadership teams and cultures, he now helps agency owners escape burnout and build highly profitable businesses that empower their teams and clients—without sacrificing their lives in the process. Still in the trenches as an agency owner himself, Nick brings real-world insights on scaling, leadership, founder burnout, and creating systems for sustainable growth.   Links: Website: http://www.agencyacquisitions.io    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickavaria/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nick_avaria/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AgencyAcquisitions   Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page   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!

In this episode, I'm calling out the thing nobody says out loud: your major gift program isn't really a program. The gifts come in, but you can't predict them. Your board member lands a home run, then goes quiet. Your ED holds all the relationships in their head, and when they leave, the revenue leaves with them. I've lived this, and I know you have too.I start by naming what I call the invisible revenue gap: the difference between what your list should be raising and what it actually raises. It's costing mid-sized nonprofits hundreds of thousands a year while the financials look perfectly fine on the surface, and it's the thing that wakes EDs up at 4 AM in a cold sweat.Then I get into the diagnosis. You're not bad at fundraising. You're not lazy or unsophisticated. You're un-infrastructured. You know what to do, you just don't have a system to do it consistently, in the right order, every time. I break down why the old five-stage model we all inherited runs on fragile relationships and hope, and why it falls apart with today's busier, more skeptical donors.From there, I walk through what an actual system looks like: the six stages of the Engagement Fundraising Operating System, the real role of your board as door openers (12 board members, one intro each per quarter, that's 48 new prospects a year, the math maths), and the qualification conversation that stops you from chasing people who were never going to give. I also share results from a $6M client who went from 15 prospects to 47 and doubled her close rate. Not by finding richer donors. By building infrastructure.If every quarter feels like crossing your fingers, this one's for you.Important Links:My Big Ask Gifts Program:⁠⁠ https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠⁠My Book, Get That Money Honey:⁠⁠ https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠⁠My Newsletter:⁠⁠ https://www.rheawong.com/⁠⁠

In hour one of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the show by responding to our morning show. Did Cecil suggest that Broncos ownership stripped Sean Payton of his play-calling responsibilities? What did Cecil really say, and what likely led Sean to give Davis Webb a shot at calling the plays? The ownership group didn’t move without conversations with Sean, so what did those sound like and how will the Broncos improve with Webb? With training camp on the horizon, we’ve been asking one big question every day! Can the Broncos establish an offensive identity this year? Will they be a more balanced team, lean more on the run, or keep letting Bo Nix throw the ball? Where can this team get more creative with their play calling? The Nuggets have their camp coming up in August, but nothing has been done with Payton Watson yet! If nothing comes up for Watson, will he sign the Nuggets' 6M qualifying offer? The Rockies have been in a lot of trade rumors. Do we still think it's a good idea to trade Hunter Goodman?

Brandon Robinson opened Tipsy Putt's first location in downtown Sacramento on November 1, 2019. Four months later, the world shut down.He'd already built and sold a multi-state med spa chain. He'd discovered an indoor mini golf bar in Kirkland, Washington on a packed Monday night and written a $150,000 check for a one-page license agreement to bring it to California. Then COVID took the whole thing to zero overnight.This is the story of what he rebuilt — a four-location brand with its ownidentity, roughly 100,000 app downloads, and a fundraising model that turns investors into opening-day customers.Brandon and Mark get into the real numbers: why post-pandemic sites do $3-6M where they used to do $6-10M, why chasing Class A real estate was the expensive lesson, how to structure a raise as an SPV per market instead of selling equity in the parent, and the brutal honest math of angel investing.Then they close on fatherhood, mentorship, and the grandfather who went from 1930s Detroit foster care to one of the top 100 State Farm agents in the country — and why that story is the whole case for supporting veterans in transition.Website: https://tipsyputt.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TipsyPutt/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tipsyputt/YouTube:  @tipsyputt  ______________________________________________________________If this episode inspires you to be part of the movement, and you believe, like me, that entrepreneurs are the answer to our future, message me so we can join forces to support building truly great companies in our region. -Subscribe to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCom_​... -  Mark Haney is a serial entrepreneur that has experience growing companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
