Ready to find out how I made $158K in just five days? And no, this isn't another "look how amazing I am" story—this is me pulling back the curtain on the exact Black Friday strategy that's been game-changing for my business and hundreds of my students.I'm spilling all the tea on my 5 Days of Deals method that I literally invented back in 2019 when I was desperately trying to figure out how to make Black Friday work for course creators. Back then, I had exactly two products and was in the middle of pivoting my entire business. Fast forward to last month, and this same strategy brought in $158,584 in revenue with 246 buyers.But here's what makes me proud—this method I created out of desperation is now being used by big names across the industry. Ellen Yin, Dallas Travers, and countless others have adopted my 5 Days of Deals approach. The problem? Most people are copying the surface-level stuff without understanding the real psychology behind why it works.In this episode, I'm breaking down the complete strategy—from my humble $8K beginnings to last year's $158K success. I'll walk you through each day of my recent campaign, share what my students are doing with lists as small as 800 subscribers, and explain why this isn't just about the sales you make that week.What you'll learn:The exact breakdown of my $158K Black Friday campaign (day by day, offer by offer)Why I created the 5 Days of Deals method and how it became industry standardThe three key elements most people miss that make or break these campaignsReal case studies from students who've made $10K-$100K with small email listsWhy audience priming matters more than audience sizeHow strategic email sequencing drove 50% of sales in the final 6 hours each dayWhy Black Friday is really about validation, momentum, and list-building (not just sales)The psychology behind urgency and exclusivity that makes this strategy workGET BLACK FRIDAY IN A BOX: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridayBLACK FRIDAY CASE STUDY: HOW I MADE $158K IN 2024 (FREE): https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/casestudy  Support the show

Brett and Naveen break down how GenX escapees can use AI to work faster, earn more, and de-risk the leap from corporate. You'll learn where AI actually helps (and where it doesn't), how to turn your experience into simple, repeatable, AI-enabled services, and why singles (small wins) beat swinging for enterprise home runs when you're solo. Think: micro-SaaS, productized services, and month-to-month offers that business owners can say “yes” to quickly.Key TakeawaysGenX Advantage: We've lived analog → digital → internet → mobile. We know how to train people—now we train AI. We also know when outputs are “off.”AI as Fractional Workforce: Treat AI like your on-demand researcher, analyst, designer, scheduler, and SDR. One subscription, many “roles.”Start with Singles: Stop chasing six-figure whales out of the gate. Package $1–5K/month services that solve one need deeply, repeat it across clients.Outcome > Hours: Price the result (clean CRM, personalized outreach engine, faster proposals), not your time. AI compresses hours into minutes—that's the point.Productize the Process: Turn your workflow into a mini system: inputs → AI-assisted steps → valuable output. Reuse 80%, customize 20%.Risk Wins Deals: Month-to-month + clear ROI beats open-ended fractional promises for most SMBs.Practical Use Cases We Cover • Lead gen & personalized outreach at scale • CRM cleanup & contact enrichment • Proposal/slide creation (e.g., Gamma) • Research & meeting prep “briefings” • Contract review & red-flag summaries • Agents & light automations (only after nailing the manual workflow)Simple Monetization Paths (Examples)$2–5K/mo: “Done-for-you” outbound engine (200 targeted emails, replies routed, CRM updated).$1–3K flat: CRM cleanup + enrichment + basic dashboard.$1–2K/mo: Founder research briefs + talk tracks before key meetings.$3–8K setup + $1–3K/mo: Build a lightweight, repeatable micro-SaaS/workflow (pricing, content kits, hiring screens) for a niche.Timestamps • 00:00 Intro & why AI is a GenX superpower • 03:30 From big-corp AI to solo/SMB impact • 06:10 Training people vs. training AI (and knowing “good”) • 11:20 AI as your fractional team: practical tools & roles • 16:45 Thought partner use case (Brett's real examples) • 23:30 Singles over home runs: structure simple wins • 29:45 Value pricing when AI compresses your time • 34:20 Risk, ROI, and easy “yes” offers for SMBs • 38:45 Partnering to productize (stack skills → stack revenue) • 42:50 Action plan & where to find NaveenMemorable Lines • “AI is the great equalizer—your fractional workforce in one subscription.” • “Don't sell AI—sell a solved problem that AI helps deliver.” • “GenX knows what ‘good' looks like. That's the edge 20-somethings can't fake.”Resources Mentioned • Explained Consulting: explained.consulting • Gamma for slide/proposal generation

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week.First, The Antigravity A1 drone by insta360 is out, we have some DJI Mini 5 Pro leaks, and AVSS has a new drone system for avalanche control.First up, Insta360, a name we all know and love for their 360-degree cameras, has incubated a new drone brand called Antigravity. And they've just unveiled their first product, the Antigravity A1. Antigravity is making a bold claim: it's the world's first drone with built-in 8K 360-degree capture. The A1 features a dual-lens camera system, with one lens on top and one on the bottom of the drone. This allows it to capture a complete spherical view with no blind spots. The software then stitches the footage together and even renders the drone itself invisible, which is a feature Insta360 is famous for.Now, what really sets this apart is the flight experience. It's designed to be fully immersive, using goggles and a "Grip controller” that responds to natural hand movements instead of traditional sticks. With their "FreeMotion" technology, you can freely look around in any direction using head tracking, completely separate from the direction the drone is flying. If you've ever wanted to look left while flying forward, this drone promises to deliver that. And because it's shooting in 360, you can reframe your shots in post, create Tiny Planet effects, and pull multiple shots from a single flight.Next up this week, we've got some major leaks, courtesy of Jasper Ellens over at DroneXL, about the DJI Mini 5 Pro. Let's talk specs. The camera is said to have a 1-inch sensor with a 24mm equivalent lens and a fast f/1.8 aperture, which should be fantastic for low-light performance. It can reportedly shoot video up to 4K at 120 frames per second and has a 48mm medium-telephoto mode. The drone is also said to feature forward-facing LiDAR for obstacle sensing. Next up, in a real-world drones-for-good story, Canada has given the green light to a new drone-based system for avalanche control. For nearly 80 years, safety crews have used risky methods like helicopter drops and even World War II-era artillery to trigger controlled avalanches. Now, a Canadian company called AVSS has a much safer and more efficient solution. Transport Canada has issued a nationwide Special Flight Operations Certificate, or SFOC, for the AVSS "SnowDart" system. This is a big deal because it opens the door for commercial use across the country.The system, called the Precision Avalanche Management System, uses a drone to fly to precise locations where it drops small, low-cost, and eco-friendly explosive devices called SnowDarts. These darts trigger controlled snow releases, preventing larger, more dangerous avalanches from forming. The whole mission can be planned and flown autonomously, keeping human crews far from any danger. This is a massive improvement in safety and its more flexible and cost-effective than traditional methods. On post flight, our show where we share our opinions, we'll be discussing all these stories, plus talking more about the Part 108 NPRM, which we finally finished reading, and just posted a video on! https://dronexl.co/2025/08/13/dji-mini-5-pro-leak-reveals-c0-label-secrets/https://dronedj.com/2025/08/11/drone-avalanche-control-canada-avss/https://www.antigravity.tech/us/drone/antigravity-a1

In recent years, I have publicly stated that I hate HMO property and it's an asset class that I no longer want anything to do with, however in the last 4 weeks, I have spent the thick end of £1 million going back into the HMO market.   This is for one clear reason, the fact that the price of HMO properties, for whatever reason, seems to be having a crash.   In this episode, I'm going to tell you where you might find these opportunities, the deals that I've recently done, pre and post auction, and how you can make over £300k in equity, and £50k a year income, with only a £30k refurb across two properties, bought pre and post auction in the last 30 days.   If you're looking for easy money in a challenging market, this is one podcast you do not want to miss.   Success and failure are both very predictable.   I hope you enjoy.

Morgan Stanley Research looks at how changes in demographics, ownership, and distribution can boost tech adoption to revolutionize the global sports industry. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Cesar Medina: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Cesar Medina, Morgan Stanley's Latin America Technology, Media, and Telecom Analyst. Today – we discuss what's driving the digital revolution in global sports. And what it means for fans as well as investors. It's Monday, August 11th, at 10am in New York.These days, watching a sporting event at home usually means streaming the big game on a large 4K HDR screen. Maybe even 8K for premium events. You might access real time stats from a supporting app or social media on a secondary device. Maybe even have a group chat with friends. But imagine a game with real-time personalized stats. Immersive alternate camera angles. Or even experiencing the match from a player's perspective—all powered by AI. These innovations are already being tested and rolled out in select leagues. Global sports generates half a trillion dollars in annual revenues. Despite all that cash, until very recently the industry was slow to embrace digital technology, lagging behind movies and music. Now that's changing – and fast.So, what's driving this transformation? Three powerful forces are closing this digital gap. One – younger, tech-savvy audiences demanding more immersive and personalized experiences. Two – new distribution models, with digital platforms stepping into the arena. And three – institutional investment, bringing capital and a push for modernization. You might ask – what does this all mean for fans, investors, and the future of entertainment? Let's start with fans. Today's sports fans aren't just watching—they're interacting, betting, gaming, and sharing. And younger fans are leading the charge. They are spending more time online and expect hyper-personalized content. They're more interested in individual athletes than teams, and they engage through social media, fantasy sports, and interactive platforms. Surveys show that fans under 35 are significantly more likely to spend money on sports if the experience is digital-first. Some leagues have seen viewership jump by 40 percent after introducing interactive features. Others are using AI to personalize content, boosting engagement and revenue. Digital transformation isn't just about watching games though—it's about reimagining the entire ecosystem. When it comes to live events, smart venues are using AI to adjust ticket prices based on weather, opposing team, and demand. Some are even using facial recognition for faster entry and purchases. Streaming platforms are making broadcasts more interactive, while combating piracy with predictive tech. As for engagement, fantasy sports, esports, and betting are booming. AI-driven platforms are helping fans make smarter picks—and spend more. Altogether, these innovations could boost global sports revenues by over 25 percent, adding more than $130 billion in value. While North America leads in monetization, Emerging Markets are catching up fast. In India, Brazil, and the Middle East, for example, sports franchises are seeing double-digit growth in value—sometimes outpacing traditional media. And here's the kicker: many of these regions have younger populations and faster-growing digital adoption. That's a recipe for serious growth. Meanwhile, niche sports and women's leagues are also gaining global traction, expanding the definition of mainstream entertainment. Of course, this transformation of the sports industry faces real hurdles—technical expertise, budget constraints, and cultural resistance among coaches and athletes. But the incentives are clear. And as more capital flows into sports—from private equity to sovereign wealth funds—digital transformation is becoming a strategic priority. So, what's the biggest takeaway? Global sports is no longer just about what happens on the field. It's about how fans experience it—on their phones, in their homes, and in the stadiums of the future. So whether you're an investor, a fan, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this is a game worth watching. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.
