Social media can make us believe that everyone has it all figured out, except you. You are the lone exception to the rule, and you are the only one who is experiencing unexpected disasters. That is the furthest thing from the truth! Which is why I want to highlight this week's guest, who bounced back from an unexpected business disaster and was all the better for it.  After sailing across the Caribbean for 4 years, Andrea moved back to Miami, sold her e-commerce business, and bought a landscaping company with an SBA loan. Five days after closing, the previous owner stole $7,000 and disappeared. The manager quit and told all 12 employees to leave. Revenue dropped from $70K to $40K a month. With a toddler, a newborn, and a half-million dollars in debt, quitting was not an option. She and her husband rebuilt the business, working 80-hour weeks. When the workload became unsustainable, she taught herself AI from YouTube. Within weeks, AI was answering calls, booking appointments, collecting overdue payments, and sending post-service photos. Her husband went from getting home at 6 pm to 3 pm. Fridays became family days. They turned down a $750K buyout offer. Now she runs Crewless, helping service business owners implement the same AI systems so their kids get the best of them, not what's left.   In this week's episode, we're talking about how she lost everything 5 days after closing and built it all back with AI! Life and business are not about never dealing with adversity. It's about pushing through, discovering what you're capable of, and learning new skills to make your business even better!    Tune in to hear what went wrong in Andrea's new business venture and how she dug her way out of it with AI!  Resources Mentioned: Click here to claim your Manifest Your Marca bot!   Follow Andrea on: Instagram: @andreapalacio    TikTok:@ai.andreapalacio   Website: andreapalacio.ai  YouTube: @ai.andreapalacio  LinkedIn: Andrea Palacio   Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Sign up for the Courage Driven Latina program here!

Here's how Chris Roberts turns a $300 light switch call into a $100,000 job. Chris Roberts isn't a salesman. He's an electrician who learned to sell — and last year he closed $5.1M in electrical, $2.3M in plumbing, and $500K in HVAC personally. The plumbing total happened in roughly one month. He's the first double Crown Champion in CertainPath history. Chris runs sales for Bailey Plumbing, Safety First Electric, and Comfort Heating and Cooling — three companies operating under one roof out of San Jose and Morgan Hill, California. Chris started in the union, watching his electrician's check stay flat while his family kept growing. When the union got slow, he took what he thought was a short-term gig at Safety First Electric — installing, not selling. A few weeks in, the owner asked him to go run a sales call. He brought back $7,000 in signed work. By the end of his first month in sales, his check rewrote his understanding of what was possible. He called his wife and said, "I'm not going back to the union." In this episode, Chris walks Bob Houchin through the exact playbook — every word he uses, every door he opens, every shirt he wears — for turning a single service call into a six-figure multi-trade job. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $7.9M sales reveal — and why most of the plumbing total came in roughly a month • Why Chris never says the word "finance" on a sales call (and what he says instead) • How a $300 light switch call becomes a six-figure rewire, re-pipe, and drain job • The "Two Costs and One Price" framework that crushes "I need to think about it" • Why Chris wears a different shirt on Day 2 — and what it sells • The 4-option pricing system that lets Bailey charge $70K for a rewire (when competitors price it at $25K) • Why he won't sell a re-pipe to a customer who doesn't need one — and why disqualifying like this builds trust  Whether you're a sales tech trying to break $1M for the first time, a sales manager building a multi-trade playbook, or an owner trying to understand what makes one rep close $7.9M across three trades — Chris's process is a masterclass in stacking trades without losing trust. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

If you've ever fantasized about packing up your life, leaving the US, and actually doing the damn thing — this episode is your sign.

Visit today's blog post here. Last month, I crossed a new income ceiling—bringing in over $70K in just a little over a month—and it was the easiest launch I've ever had. Which, honestly, is both exciting and a little maddening. Because the truth is, the more ease and alignment I've felt in my business, the more success seems to follow… and I know how frustrating that can feel when you're not there yet. At the same time, behind the scenes, I was navigating some unexpected health challenges that forced me to slow down in a way I couldn't ignore. "Slow" has been my word of the year—and this month really asked me to become the version of myself who could actually live it. In this episode, I'm sharing the surprising connection I noticed between panic and stillness, and how I'm learning to step into a deeper, more intentional kind of quiet… one that feels safe, grounded, and expansive instead of frozen. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Want a FREE Business Audit Quiz? DM Me Biz Audit on either my Instagram or IFCA's Instagram! If you've been posting consistently (content, stories, reels, DMs) working 50 hours a week, maybe even running ads... and you're still under $50K a month? There is a very specific reason for that. And it has almost nothing to do with how much content you're producing. The coaches I watch break through — like really break through, $70K, $100K, $200K months — they're not outworking you. They're not more talented. They don't have bigger followings. They fixed their math. And most coaches never fix their math because they don't even know which number is the problem. That's what today is about. If you're a coach somewhere between $10K and $40K a month and you feel like you're working WAY harder than your income reflects — stay with me. In this episode I'm going to walk you through the 5 numbers that determine whether you scale or plateau, the 3 archetypes of stuck coaches and which one you are, and the single number in YOUR funnel that's costing you the most right now.   Time Stamps:   (0:45) Why You're Under 30k A Month (6:50) Archetypes (8:35) DM Me "Biz Audit" ----------------

In this episode, Andrew Warner, founder of Mixergy, host of over 2,500 founder interviews, and creator of The Next New Thing, reveals why the most exciting business opportunity in AI right now isn't building another chatbot or SaaS tool. It's building for AI agents as customers. Andrew shares how one founder went from $3K to $70K/month by simply pivoting his social media tool to serve AI agents instead of humans, why Jason Fried at Basecamp is now adding agent-first features, and what this means for every entrepreneur and operator watching the AI wave. Andrew breaks down his own AI tech stack (Claude Code, VS Code, Atlas Browser, OpenClaw), why he keeps a separate laptop just for AI agent work, and the brutal honesty about how much time we're all spending "playing" with AI vs. actually building revenue-generating products. He and Liam go deep on the "SaaSpocalypse" debate, whether intelligence becoming a utility makes audience and distribution the only real moats, and why the agent-to-agent economy, where software sells to other software, might be the biggest shift since mobile. Key Topics Covered How Andrew built a $30M/year email newsletter business in his 20s and what he learned about monetization The origin story of Zapier: Andrew was their first paying customer before they even had a product Why AI's "shiny object syndrome" is the biggest trap for builders right now Andrew's daily AI tech stack: Claude Code, VS Code, Atlas Browser, Claude Desktop, and WhisperFlow How Postiz went from $3K to $70K/month by becoming the social media tool for AI agents The agent-to-agent economy: why your next best customer might not be human Is SaaS dead? Andrew's nuanced take after 2,500+ founder interviews Why audience and platform stickiness are the only real moats when intelligence becomes a utility Liam's Claude automation workflows: auto-generating guest research, marketing assets in 5 minutes Vibe video editing and the future of AI-powered content production Episode Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction and welcome 00:28 - Andrew's background: building a $30M email newsletter empire 02:00 - Selling the business in his mid-20s and traveling the world 06:19 - Starting Mixergy and doing 2,500+ founder interviews 09:39 - The founders Andrew admires most: Wade Foster and Zapier's origin story 12:07 - How solving problems for free changes your career 12:51 - AI's shiny object syndrome: building for fun vs. solving real problems 14:36 - Andrew's mission: helping AI builders find real revenue 17:45 - Andrew's AI tech stack: VS Code, Claude Code, Atlas Browser, WhisperFlow 22:32 - The ideal future of work with AI agents 24:31 - What's most impressive and most underwhelming about AI right now 25:20 - Building a social listening tool with AI 27:08 - The SaaSpocalypse debate: can you vibe-code your own tools? 36:12 - Postiz: from $3K to $70K/month by selling to AI agents 38:17 - The agent-to-agent marketplace future 40:06 - Liam's Claude automation: auto-generating guest research briefs 43:19 - Real-time AI workflows with WhisperFlow and Claude 48:02 - Why investing time in AI compounds exponentially 50:05 - Creating marketing assets in 5 minutes with Claude 51:27 - Vibe video editing: the next frontier for content creators 53:42 - Thought experiment: what's defensible when intelligence is a utility? 55:39 - The bread maker analogy: why SaaS won't actually die 58:01 - What makes software defensible: switching costs and stickiness 01:00:47 - Postiz deep-dive: the agentic social media scheduling tool 01:03:26 - Agent-first businesses: newsletters, chat apps, and tools built for agents 01:08:51 - Where to find Andrew and closing thoughts Andrew's Socials: LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewwarner/ Website — https://thenextnewthing.ai Partner Links Book Enterprise Training — https://www.upscaile.com/ Subscribe to our free newsletter — https://www.theaireport.ai/subscribe Get free AI resources: https://community.theaireport.ai/checkout/the-ai-report-welcome-gift?coupon_code=WRTH Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the WIIRE podcast, we dig into practical, real-world ways female real estate investors are using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to save time, money, and stress—without losing the human touch that makes real estate a relationship business. We start with the ethics: why you should always be transparent about using AI, why you must verify everything it produces (especially legal, tax, and financial content), and how to keep building your own skills instead of outsourcing your thinking to a bot. You'll hear specific examples from women in the WIIRE Community who use AI to draft clearer, kinder tenant communications, translate for Spanish-speaking tenants, summarize confusing contractor explanations, and turn Loom videos into SOPs. We also cover using AI to read zoning ordinances and city codes, compare construction budgets and bids, analyze complex invoices, build simple financial analysis spreadsheets, and even negotiate inspection repairs—like one member who used AI-generated reports and photos to secure a $70K price reduction on a triplex.  On the creative side, we talk about AI for rental design and furnishing checklists, direct mail marketing campaigns, investor pitch decks, and even rough revenue models for potential campground or glamping sites. You'll also hear how one investor used AI to calculate her exact FIRE number and design her ideal snowbird lifestyle. Finally, we touch on real estate–specific tools like TurboTenant's AI maintenance bot and how AI can help with insurance questions and refunds, positioning AI as your smartest “employee” that doesn't need a W2—but always needs your oversight.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Check out Steadily for all your rental property insurance needs Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

Bitcoin keeps running into a wall of selling above $70K — roughly $20M/hour in profit-taking — and now that wall has geopolitical weight behind it after the Islamabad peace talks collapsed, Iran's Strait of Hormuz stays effectively closed, and Trump ordered a naval blockade of Iranian ports starting this morning. That's pushing oil toward $100/barrel and forcing tanker traffic into a full reroute away from the Gulf, which benefits US energy exports but hammers Japan, South Korea, and India hardest. Meanwhile the dollar's long-term slide continues — now just 46% of global FX and gold reserves, a 26-year low — even as M2 keeps expanding at 4.8% YoY, and central bank gold holdings have officially eclipsed US Treasury holdings for the first time since '96. And on the crypto side, the WLFI vs. Justin Sun feud is turning into a full legal brawl over a $75M loan dispute, backdoor token blacklisting, and accusations flying both ways — exactly the kind of circus that undermines crypto's push for institutional credibility.

Matt opens by cutting through the noise. Bitcoin is still sitting in the $70K range, Ethereum around $2,100, and the total market cap hovering near $2.4 trillion. In his view, the market itself hasn't meaningfully changed, despite the constant swings in sentiment between fear and hype. What has changed is the underlying behavior around the space — and that's where the real story is.He highlights a major security failure involving a fake Ledger app on Apple's App Store, where a user lost roughly $500,000 after entering their seed phrase into a malicious interface. Matt is blunt: this should not happen, and platforms like Apple should bear responsibility if fraudulent financial apps pass their review systems. For him, this is a core reminder of the risks still present in crypto — not in price action, but in user behavior and infrastructure failures.From there, he shifts into what he sees as a much bigger issue: World Liberty Financial. The project, tied to President Trump's family, is raising serious red flags. Matt walks through the mechanics — locked investor tokens, governance controlled by a handful of wallets, treasury buybacks at a loss, undisclosed conflicts, and frozen holdings — painting a picture of a system where retail participants are stuck while insiders benefit. His takeaway is clear: this is exactly the kind of structure that demands scrutiny, not blind participation.That leads directly into his skepticism around the push for the Clarity Act. With Treasury officials urging Congress to move quickly on crypto regulation, Matt questions whether the timing is coincidental or connected to projects like World Liberty Financial. He doesn't claim definitive proof, but he makes it clear he sees a pattern worth paying attention to.Beyond that, the market remains mixed. Altcoins are still capable of explosive speculative runs, institutional flows are uneven but supportive at times, and macro pressures — like oil surging past $100 — continue to influence crypto as a risk asset. But again, Matt's core message doesn't change: the price is stable, the structure is not.He closes by pointing listeners toward deeper research — specifically the Ledger app incident and commentary around World Liberty Financial — urging critical thinking over passive consumption. The numbers may look the same, but the behavior behind them is shifting, and that's where the real signal is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Megadeth exists because Dave Mustaine got fired from Metallica in 1983 and spent forty years proving a point. Faster, more technical, more aggressive, the early run—Killing Is My Business, Peace Sells, Rust in Peace—defined precision thrash and political edge. The band moves in cycles: Countdown and Youthanasia bring mainstream success, Risk abandons identity and fails, the 2000s reset with System Has Failed and Endgame restores credibility, then Super Collider drifts again. Dystopia and The Sick, The Dying… and the Dead! reestablish control. That pattern holds: when Megadeth commits to itself, it works.In 2026, they release Megadeth, album seventeen, produced by Mustaine and Rakestraw. No experimentation, no genre drift—tight, modern thrash. It debuts #1 (~70K units), with mixed-positive reviews citing consistency over innovation. Built as a final statement, supported by a farewell tour, it consolidates the catalog rather than expands it.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Gabriella, 36, and Chris, 40, a married couple from Pennsylvania with four kids, zero savings, and $32,000 in credit card debt. They both work multiple jobs. Chris travels all week and picks up extra shifts on weekends. Gabriella juggles three income streams while running the household alone. And yet their fixed costs sit at 109% of their income and the debt keeps growing. What Ramit uncovers goes much deeper than the numbers. For years, Gabriella has been managing everything alone, building budgets Chris never looks at, covering purchases she never agreed to, and quietly losing hope. Chris has been avoiding the conversation entirely. And buried underneath it all is something neither of them mentioned in their application: they've been here before. They filed for bankruptcy. And now, with four kids in tow, they're on the exact same path. In this episode we uncover: Why two incomes and two extra jobs still aren't enough when your fixed costs are 109% The treadmill purchase that broke Gabriella's trust What Ramit means by "95% of your money relationship is in the shadows" The bankruptcy reveal that changes everything Why Chris can't give a straight answer and what it's costing the marriage The moment Gabriella admits she stopped doing everything just to see what would happen How Gabriella's new $70K job changes the numbers overnight The Florida plan and why Ramit says it won't fix anything What it looks like when a couple finally starts working as a team Chapters: (00:00:00) "I've never not worried about money in our marriage" (00:07:10) Do you have trust issues around money? (00:15:18) "What if you just stopped doing it all?"

This week on Group Chat, Zach White returns and the crew goes deep on Nike's earnings disaster and why the brand has become culturally irrelevant. From losing China to getting outpaced by Salomon and Arc'teryx, the guys break down what went wrong and whether the Swoosh can recover. OpenAI just acquired TBPN, a tech podcast, for a reported $200M+ after only 18 months. The crew breaks down why 70K viewers of the right people is worth more than millions of the wrong ones, and what it means for the future of media acquisitions. Kanye sold out two nights at SoFi for the first time in LA since 2019. 45 songs, Lauryn Hill, Travis Scott, and $18M on night one alone. Is cancel culture officially dead? The crew debates what it means when the most controversial artist in the world sells out the biggest venue in the city. Plus: the Artemis moon launch, the moon landing conspiracy debate (the crew votes), a GCP fan builds a SaaS product from a pod tip, Dee builds a baseball swing analyzer on a Duffy boat, and Venice is the new West Hollywood.

In today's episode of Milk Road, we break down the two forces that are controlling Bitcoin and the entire crypto market right now, and why nothing else matters until they resolve. Bitcoin is hovering around $70K… but this isn't strength. It's uncertainty. Behind the scenes, a massive macro story is unfolding: a global energy shock, rising geopolitical tensions, and one of the biggest shifts in financial markets in decades. At the same time, crypto is waiting on regulatory clarity that could reshape the industry.~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, Travis sits down with Shawn Nelson, founder and CEO of Lovesac, the innovative furniture brand that grew from a college side hustle into a publicly traded company nearing $1 billion in annual sales. Shawn shares the raw, behind-the-scenes journey of building a business—from sewing bean bags on his parents' living room floor to surviving bankruptcy, navigating massive economic shifts, and leading through uncertainty. With a focus on resilience, adaptability, and long-term vision, Shawn offers powerful insights for any entrepreneur looking to build something that lasts. On this episode we talk about: How Lovesac started as a college side hustle and evolved into a major brand The importance of taking action—even when you don't have a clear plan Navigating failure, including bankruptcy and major economic downturns Why commitment and long-term thinking create freedom in entrepreneurship How to manage stress, uncertainty, and high-pressure decision making as a leader Top 3 Takeaways Action beats perfection—starting (even with a “dumb idea”) can lead to massive opportunities if you keep going. Resilience is built through adversity—failures, setbacks, and uncertainty are the greatest teachers in business. Embracing uncertainty is a superpower—those who can operate without needing guarantees are best positioned for success. Notable Quotes "Chapter one is simple: just do something." "At every level—$70K, $7 million, $700 million—you still feel vulnerable." "Entrepreneurs thrive in uncertainty. If you can handle that, you have a shot at outsized rewards."

This solo episode is a full breakdown of Chris Lopez’s 2026 real estate investment deals. He covers every position closed in Q1 and the active pipeline he’s evaluating right now. That includes a hotel conversion buying at roughly $30,000 a door and a Denver office deal at a 12 cap with 6.5% debt in place. The shift from common equity to debt isn’t accidental. Chris walks through three Q1 investments: a Canadian debt fund, a preferred equity position in Western Ohio multifamily, and a fund acquiring non-performing loans. All three reflect a strategy focused on income and downside protection. The episode also tackles a harder question. Should you stay focused on known asset classes or follow the numbers into new territory? The 2026 real estate investment deals on his radar include a bank-owned distressed multifamily portfolio in Denver and Colorado Springs, a niche Denver industrial deal with owner carry, and a 300-unit hotel-to-multifamily conversion. He’s also tracking an indoor kids entertainment private equity fund paying mid-to-high teens cash on cash. The final segment covers debt fund due diligence. Chris explains why he now does on-site audits before writing a check. That means reviewing loan files, checking appraisals, verifying LTV compliance, and tracing bank account activity to reduce fraud risk.

In this Crypto Town Hall episode, the panel discusses Bitcoin's surprising resilience amid escalating geopolitical tensions and market volatility, with BTC holding steady around $70K while gold and silver saw sharper drops. They explore the decoupling of crypto from traditional risk assets, the monumental regulatory progress on tokenization (SEC/CFTC guidance and Clarity Act momentum), and why price action feels stagnant despite massive behind-the-scenes shifts toward tokenized markets, 24/7 trading, and blockchain efficiency. The conversation highlights MicroStrategy's buying strategy, stablecoin developments, and the broader macro uncertainty driving liquidity flows into crypto.

Bitcoin rebounds above $70K after heavy liquidations and oil shock volatility, outperforming stocks amid Iran tensions. Major exploit crashes Resolv stablecoin by 70%+, while tokenization takes center stage in upcoming House committee talks and SEC guidance. Strategy adds more BTC, fraud claims swirl at CoinDCX—markets modestly up with focus on macro risks and regulatory clarity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The best part of doing a live car show from a mega meet is that the day keeps changing under your feet, and the conversation goes with it. We're set up at Team Gillman with cars rolling in and out, then we kick things off with a straight-shooting review of the 2025 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. We dig into what the GT Premium feels like as a real daily driver, from the lined cloth top and cabin tech to the stiffer performance ride, tire noise, and the big headline numbers: a 5.0-liter V8 with 480 horsepower and an as-tested price that can rocket into the $70K range.Then Mike brings a list that's made for anyone who collects memories instead of merch: seven underrated U.S. racetracks worth visiting. We talk Road America, VIR, Laguna Seca, Sebring, Mid-Ohio, Barber, and Road Atlanta, with a focus on what makes a track worth the trip: elevation, access, sightlines, and that gritty old-school atmosphere you can't fake.The live setting brings surprises too, including a quick chat with Ethan, a young car photographer and videographer working to grow his crew through events and consistency. We also squeeze in a 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige AWD review, then pivot to our Hemmings sold car price game and the auto news you can use, including an FTC warning aimed at misleading dealership advertised prices and required fees. If you care about cars, car buying, car culture, and where the industry is heading, this one stays moving.

Bitcoin is stuck around $70K as macro pressure builds and cracks begin appearing across traditional finance. Oil prices are spiking on geopolitical tensions, while major banks like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are quietly restricting withdrawals and tightening lending in private credit markets as investors rush for the exits. With liquidity tightening and financial stress rising, the key question is whether Bitcoin is simply trapped in macro chop or preparing for its next major move as the system starts to strain.

In this Crypto Town Hall episode, the panel explores Bitcoin's resilience near $70K amid geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility, with MicroStrategy's STRC product enabling aggressive BTC accumulation while paying high yields. Speakers debate the banking lobby's resistance to stablecoin rewards and DeFi, the rapid rise of AI agents and machine-to-machine economies, and how legacy finance is fighting disruption rather than adapting. The discussion highlights real utility emerging in crypto, the risks of over-leveraged treasury companies, and why Bitcoin remains a strong long-term hedge despite short-term noise.

Bitcoin remains range-bound below $70K as markets await US CPI data and navigate geopolitical risks, while Ripple pushes regulated expansion in Australia and enforcement actions target scams. ETFs show inflows, AI tokens rally, and regulatory scrutiny continues on prediction markets. Prices modestly up across majors—focus on inflation prints and macro cues ahead.Sources:https://www.coindesk.com (BTC price action, Iran uncertainty, Ripple acquisition, Senate bill, central bank previews)https://cointelegraph.com (Arthur Hayes comments, ETF inflows, Bitcoin network milestones)https://decrypt.co (DOJ forfeiture, Ripple license, prediction markets ban)https://coinmarketcap.com & https://www.coingecko.com (prices, market cap, movers) Hosted on Acast.

I had a student making $100K+ a month. Taking home less than $15K. Her Enough Number was $20K. She was running a "scale" strategy when she should have been running a lifestyle strategy. Her low-ticket funnel was burning $70K+ a month in ads—cash flow that was sitting right there the whole time. I killed the funnel. She replaced it with three things: content, monthly activation campaigns, and sales calls. That's it. Your stop-doing list might be the most valuable thing you create this year. Your homework: Write your stop-doing list. Find at least one thing that doesn't serve your Enough Number and ask: What if I just stopped? Want my full training on funnel alignment? DM me on Instagram, tell me you heard this episode, and I'll send it free. Leave a 5-star review if this saved you from burning money.

Most physical therapy clinics market the wrong thing.They promote visits, treatments, and techniques — but patients don't actually want those things. What they want is the outcome: getting back to running, lifting, sports, or living pain-free.In this episode, Jimmy McKay and Dave Kittle explore how PT clinic owners can shift from transactional care to transformation-based care.Drawing insights from thinkers like Seth Godin, Gary Vee, Rory Sutherland, Chris Voss, and Chris Do, they explain how better positioning, marketing, and communication can turn a one-time patient into a long-term relationship.They also discuss why selling programs beats selling packages, why vanity metrics like social media views don't build clinics, and how the first phone call with a patient may determine whether they ever become a client.If you're a clinic owner trying to grow revenue, improve patient engagement, and create a stronger brand, this episode will change how you think about your business.What You'll Learn• Why patients buy outcomes — not treatments• How to position your clinic as a transformation machine• Why social media views don't equal patients• How to turn a $10K client into a $70K lifetime relationship• The difference between selling programs vs packages• Why the first phone call determines patient conversions• The importance of asking better intake questionsGuests & ResourcesDave KittleWebsite: https://conciergepainrelief.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedavekittleshow/featuredTony MaritatoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MedicareBillingSponsorsSaRA Health — https://sarahealth.comEMPOWER EMR — https://empoweremr.comU.S. Physical Therapy — https://usph.com

See if you qualify for our 100% Done-For-You YouTube service: https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/youtube?el=growpractice-youtubeIf you're growing your practice on referrals alone, you're one dry spell away from struggling.The #1 way to grow a private practice in 2026 has nothing to do with networking, Google ads, or Instagram.It's YouTube. And most practitioners are completely ignoring it.I've been building health businesses online for 20 years. My first was built on a 300,000-subscriber YouTube channel. It helped half a million people, led to a NYT bestselling book, and put me on The Doctors and Dr. Oz. As CEO of Healthpreneur, I've helped thousands of practitioners scale to 6, 7, and 8 figures. Here's why I'd go all-in on YouTube if I were starting a practice today.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 The #1 way to grow your private practice in 202600:37 Why referral-dependent practices become the best-kept secret00:57 The trust recession: why patients don't know who to trust01:40 Reason #1: How YouTube builds trust faster than any other platform02:43 YouTube vs. Instagram/TikTok: 40-minute sessions vs. 15 seconds05:11 The best expert doesn't win. The best known expert does.06:56 Reason #2: YouTube users have the highest household income of any platform07:50 The stats: 87% of US YouTube users earn $70K to $100K per year09:03 Reason #3: The YouTube Health Source Certification advantage10:47 How the certification gives licensed practitioners priority in search12:41 Why Google AI and Gemini reference YouTube as the #1 health source14:23 How YouTube videos compound into a 24/7 patient acquisition flywheel❓ QUESTIONS ANSWEREDQ: How do I grow my private practice without relying on referrals?A: Build a YouTube channel around the conditions you treat. Patients searching for those problems will find you and trust you before they ever reach out. (01:40)Q: Why is YouTube better than Instagram or TikTok for a health practice?A: YouTube sessions average 40 minutes vs. 15 seconds on TikTok. No one chooses a practitioner from a short reel, but they will after watching several of your videos. (02:43)Q: What is the YouTube Health Source Certification for practitioners?A: Licensed practitioners who reach 1,500 watch hours can apply for a verified badge. It gives their content priority over unqualified influencers in health searches. (09:03)Q: Are YouTube users actually good prospects for a health practice?A: Yes. 87% of US YouTube users earn $70K to $100K per year and 89% hold a college degree. It's the most educated, highest-income audience on any social platform. (07:50)Q: How long does it take for YouTube to start bringing in patients?A: It builds like an asset. Early videos get little traction, but over time they create a 24/7 flywheel of patients finding and trusting you. (14:23)

Are you losing sales in the first 7 seconds? In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, we break down four simple adjustments that can dramatically increase your close rate — especially if you're new or still finding your rhythm in telesales or final expense. After a high-production bootcamp (60 apps, $70K in 2.5 days with 21 agents), we noticed patterns. The difference between agents who struggle… and agents who stack "fat stacks"… often comes down to clarity, confidence, and control.   Here's what we cover: ✅ How to get past the first 7 seconds without getting hung up on ✅ The #1 communication mistake new agents make (speed kills) ✅ How to sound confident — even if you're naturally introverted ✅ Why having clients write things down increases closes ✅ The fastest way to erode trust (and how to avoid it) ✅ Mastering the 5-step sales framework: Belief → Trust → Stakes → Option → Solution   If you're putting clients on hold, rushing your script, or sounding unsure — this episode is for you.   Remember: It's not about being loud. It's about being clear. It's not about being pushy. It's about being principled. Help more clients. Serve with confidence. Then go make those "fat stacks."  

Crypto News: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon talks stablecoin yield and crypto level playing field. Bitcoin moves to $70K showing signs of strength.Brought to you by

Bitcoin just ripped to $70K on rumors of a market structure bill. But speculation is not liquidity and hope is not a catalyst.

Rajiv Sawhney spotlights crypto, explaining that many traders were expecting it to rally above $100K at the beginning of this year. With prices below $70K, it may be signaling a crypto winter instead. Dissecting the moves, he notes that it was more “orderly” than the last Bitcoin retreat, and they're seeing more moves in Blackstone crypto ETFs, perhaps a sign that traditional finance is playing a more significant role. Rajiv lays out a theory around hedge fund trading to explain Bitcoin's fall.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Andrew Wang covers the big picture on markets and crypto. Bitcoin fell below $70K and is down nearly 30% from its all-time highs; Andrew argues Kevin Warsh as the Fed nominee, Michael Burry warning of a “death spiral,” and Scott Bessent saying the U.S. wouldn't support the cryptocurrency are all pushing it lower. “Speculative excess is being wrung out of the system…number go up isn't necessarily a strategy.” Andrew likes pharma despite a bumpy earnings season and pushes for portfolio diversity.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

This week on Market Mondays, we kick things off with our Futures Trading Tip of the Week and a breakdown of the biggest investing mistake of the year. We dive into the shocking rebound of Carvana joining the S&P 500 after nearly going bankrupt — debating whether it's a true comeback story or a sign the market is getting reckless again. We also break down the massive bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery, who needs WBD the most to survive the next decade, and what this means for the future of media. Caleb Silver, Editor-in-Chief of Investopedia, joins us with expert data and insight throughout the discussion.We compare Paramount's heavy debt load to Netflix's growth and free cash flow dominance and question whether a Netflix–WBD deal would spark a new era of media consolidation or run into regulatory roadblocks. From there, we shift to AI and corporate strategy, analyzing IBM's $11B acquisition of Confluent and whether M&A is becoming the quiet force powering the next leg of the AI boom. We also cover holiday spending vs weak investor sentiment, whether investors should rotate into safer stocks, and what Wednesday's Fed decision could mean for markets heading into 2026.To wrap up, we go rapid-fire: the most attractive stocks currently dipping for LEAPs and swing trades, which companies are less likely to be corrupt or mismanaged, whether failed AI bets could force bailouts in tech, Bitcoin's next move toward $65K or $70K, Apple's potential talent crisis after losing multiple key executives, and if an oil collapse into the $30s could make the entire energy sector uninvestable. A packed episode with strategy, clarity, and expert perspective. #MarketMondays #EarnYourLeisure #CalebSilver #Investopedia #Investing #StockMarket #Bitcoin #OptionsTrading #AIStocks #MediaMergers #Carvana #Apple #OilPrices #WealthBuilding #FinancePodcast #EYLSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Market Mondays, we're breaking down the biggest moves in investing, crypto, and global markets. We cover the futures trading tip of the week, this year's most important investing lesson, and why Bitcoin's drop to $85,000 has traders in “extreme fear.” We debate whether the bottom is close, if a fall to $70K or even $65K is realistic, and why MicroStrategy trading below the value of its own Bitcoin may signal either a loss of institutional confidence or the best buying opportunity of the cycle. We also unpack whether Ethereum could fall under $2,000 and how December's market behavior might preview what 2026 looks like.We explore one of the most important conversations for any entrepreneur or investor: If you lost everything tomorrow, what are your first five moves? Ian and Rashad lay out the fastest, most realistic path to rebuilding from zero. We also break down whether to prioritize dividends or growth in today's economy, how much company stock someone at Microsoft should realistically hold, and whether $70K Bitcoin is still a real near-term target. On the macro side, Japan's 10-year yield hits 1.84% (highest since 2008), potentially signaling the end of the global carry trade — with major implications for U.S. stocks, tech, and crypto.We close with silver hitting $59 for the first time ever, posting a 100%+ yearly gain — is now the time to invest? Plus, we review new data revealing the minimum income needed to live comfortably in 2025, with rising housing, food, and healthcare costs reshaping what financial stability really means. And we're joined by Jason Gyama, Founder of the Quarter Zip Movement, bringing strategy, energy, and culture to the conversation.Market Mondays Cyber Monday Deal (48 Hours Only): https://marketmondaysdeal.com#MarketMondays #Investing #Bitcoin #Crypto #Ethereum #StockMarket #Silver #WealthBuilding #Finance #EYL #QuarterZipMovementOur Sponsors:* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
