What does it really take to lead with courage in the nonprofit sector—especially when growth, complexity, and crisis collide?In this powerful conversation, Jon and Becky sit down with Glenda Testone, CEO of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab and co-host of Nonprofits Are Messy, to explore what it means to lead with integrity, accountability, and heart. With more than 14 years as Executive Director of New York City's LGBT Community Center—where she tripled the budget, led a $9M capital campaign, and guided the organization through transformational change—Glenda brings lived experience and hard-earned wisdom to the mic.Together, they unpack:How trust is built through transparency, vulnerability, and doing what you say you'll doWhy accountability isn't about fear management—but about strengthening mission and relationshipsThe mindset shift from “trying not to disappoint anyone” to deciding who you're willing to disappointPractical tools for prioritizing when everything feels urgentThe power of community—and why going it alone is a leadership trapIf you're navigating growth, wrestling with hard decisions, or feeling the weight of leadership, this episode is a reminder: you don't have to do this alone.

This week, Ashley is in Sydney with Annabel Hay, founder and CEO of CLUTCH Glue and one of Shark Tank Australia's most talked about contestants. Not yet 30 and already having pivoted from construction management to building a global consumer brand, Annabel breaks down what happens after virality, from manufacturing and logistics to retail expansion, fundraising strategy, and the operational systems required to scale.CLUTCH Glue started with a simple problem. A night out, failing fashion tape, and one thought: “It would be so much easier if I could just glue myself into my clothes.” Annabel built an alternative to body tape that lets you glue, rather than tape, clothes to your body.Four years of R&D later, CLUTCH is patented, sweat resistant, water soluble, hypoallergenic, non toxic, and designed to wash off when you are done.Virality came fast. A 10 second TikTok hit 9M views overnight and sold out the first 5,000 units. Then the real work began, scaling manufacturing, tightening operations, and turning attention into a repeatable business.Shark Tank was strategy, not luck. Annabel spent six months and more than 100 hours preparing, then landed the strap moment that made the product instantly click on camera. The clip later became one of the show's most viral moments and introduced CLUTCH to a global audience.Retail came later. DTC first for margin and data, then founder led outreach to get ranged. CLUTCH hit Priceline shelves and became the number one best selling product within a week.

In this deep, wide-ranging conversation, host Tom Alverez sits down with acclaimed Indianapolis actor and arts leader Ryan Artzberger to explore a life shaped by theater, family, and community impact.From the Midwest to Juilliard (and Back Again)Ryan shares his journey from growing up in Cleveland to studying at Juilliard, encouraged by a tough-love professor who saw his raw talent. After graduating in the mid-90s, he chased work in New York—waiting tables, walking miles to jobs, soaking up the city's creative energy—before finding long-term artistic roots in Indianapolis.A Pillar of Indiana Repertory TheatreRyan reflects on nearly three decades with the Indiana Repertory Theatre, including 63 productions and 23 performances of A Christmas Carol. He talks about standout roles (especially John Proctor in The Crucible), working with renowned directors, and how IRT became his artistic home.Acting Philosophy: Truth Over TricksRather than forcing emotions, Ryan believes in surrendering to the moment—embracing the unexpected, letting chaos create authenticity, and trusting impulse. Whether on stage or on camera, his approach centers on honesty, listening, and humanity.New York vs. IndianapolisThough he once thought he'd “die in Brooklyn,” Ryan explains how Indianapolis became the home he never knew he wanted—offering balance, family life, and a vibrant (often underrated) talent pool.Indy Shakes & Shakespeare for EveryoneNow Executive Artistic Director of Indy Shakes, Ryan discusses free Shakespeare in the Park at the Taggart Memorial Amphitheater in Riverside Park. He breaks down the $9M restoration project, the picnic-friendly, come-as-you-are vibe, and why Shakespeare was never meant to be elitist.Equity, Access & Community EngagementA major focus of the conversation is inclusion—expanding opportunities for artists of color, building partnerships with Latino and Riverside neighborhoods, creating internships and apprenticeships, and rethinking who theater is for. Ryan is passionate about making Shakespeare reflect the full community.What's Next: “ADO” at the Phoenix TheatreRyan previews “ADO” (Feb 12–March 1), a new commissioned play by Lavina Giovanni that reclaims Much Ado About Nothing—giving Hero voice, agency, and a story beyond her public shaming. Tickets start at $17.Family, Fulfillment & LegacyRyan opens up about his wife Marina, their two grown children, and choosing meaningful work over chasing fame. His definition of success? Great work, strong community, and stories that matter.Final NoteThis episode is a thoughtful, passionate look at how theater can be a refuge, a mirror, and a bridge—and how one artist is helping make Indianapolis a more inclusive, world-class arts city.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Logan Naidu runs Kernel Global-a multi-brand recruitment group with 200 people across London, Hong Kong, Charlotte and New York.We first spoke in April 2021. He had 180 people. The market was about to explode.2021: £7 million EBITDA. 2022: £10 million EBITDA. Headcount doubled to 300.Then March 2023 hit. Logan closed a second PE deal. Paid out over £30 million to staff. The biggest individual payout? Multiple millions.One month later, he started making cuts."I remember talking to my father-in-law saying I'm really embarrassed by this. I've just taken on a load of money from new investors and we're already talking about making cuts and the business shrinking."By the end of 2023, Logan had cut 100 heads—a third of the business.But here's what makes this story different: he saw it coming.December 2022. Their Christmas party. Logan stood up and said: "I think we've forgotten how hard this industry can be. We've had a record year, but we're cutting corners. We're taking clients for granted. That's going to bite us if we don't get back to it really quickly."It was poorly received. Then 2023 happened.This week on The RAG Podcast, Logan breaks down the full story.We cover:Scaling from £4.9M to £10M EBITDA in three years during the boomWhy he warned his team in December 2022 that they'd "forgotten the basics"Closing a PE deal on a Saturday morning hours before Silicon Valley Bank collapsedMaking 100 cuts across two waves (and why the second wave was harder)The criteria he used to decide who stayed: character, work ethic, client treatmentWhy his sleepless nights dropped from 2–3 per week to 2–3 per yearRebuilding to 2022 levels by 2025 with a completely different foundationHis approach to AI, offshoring, and why he won't chase every new toolWhy he still hires graduates despite the cost and cultural shiftsThe plan to double the business again by 2029This isn't about avoiding pain.It's about a founder who moved fast, made hard decisions early, and came out the other side with a business built to last through cycles.If you've ever wondered how the best operators stay level when everyone else is drinking their own Kool-Aid, this episode is the blueprint.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: Remote RecruitmentHiring shouldn't be slow, stressful, or expensive.

A story about building market leadership by saying no to obvious growth—on purpose.This episode is for SaaS founders chasing international expansion—and questioning if dominating locally first makes more sense.Most SaaS companies chase international markets early. Get traction locally, then expand globally fast.Jim Whatmore, CEO of Joblogic, walked away from that playbook. He spent three years attending HVAC shows in the US, picked up customers, then stopped. He saved his marketing budget for UK and Ireland only. He turned down international revenue to dominate his home market first.From 11 people and £500K revenue in 2013 to 500 people today. Ten-year grind to £9M, then quadrupled in two years through four strategic acquisitions. Vista Equity Partners betting £100M+ on the execution.And this inspired me to invite Jim to my podcast. We explore how geographic restraint and strategic patience create market dominance. Jim shares his thinking about why he walked away from US customers, how staying trade-agnostic opened entire markets, and why he spent four years completely rebuilding his cloud platform while competitors kept betting on their old stack. And you'll discover why he bought competitors instead of trying to outbuild them.We also zoom in on three of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:Acknowledge you cannot please everyone – UK and Ireland only, walking away from US revenue Focus on the essence – Field engineer workflows are similar regardless of trade Master creating momentum – Quadrupled revenue in two years after a decade of patient buildingJim's story is proof that dominating your home market beats chasing global reach too early.Here's one of Jim's quotes that captures why geographic focus matters:"Our tagline for job logic is growing job logic, for us, it's personal, and it's personal because of the tenure of a lot of my team have been with us for a long time, and a lot of our customers have been with us for a long time. And there's a lot of value in that, that we're present and that we're on the ground, and that we know our customers, and that's more difficult to achieve in a different geo without a bulletproof strategy."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why walking away from international revenue accelerates home market dominanceWhen staying trade-agnostic beats vertical specialization in field serviceWhy acquiring competitors with legacy tech accelerates customer base growthWhat patience actually looks like when rebuilding platforms under competitive pressureGuest InfoFor more information about the guest from this week:Guest: Jim Whatmore, CEO at Joblogic Website: joblogic.com

In this episode we're joined by Todd Pooser, author of A Systems Approach to Public Administration and Social Equity and founder of The Virtual Commonwealth. Listen in to hear the scientific justification for the foundations of our work to create an equitable and sustainable society. Job seekers may use these frameworks as they evaluate the work and the approach of potential employers. As we aim to solve intractable problems we need more than opinion, we have scientific models, derived from living systems, that can guide us. Todd uses General Systems Theory to answer this big question: What's the elegant solution that solves all of our inextricably entwined problems?To discover the solution we need to recognize our interdependence and interconnectedness. Then we have 2 sets of 3 rules to follow. 3 Rules of Systems-Based EthicsHuman Health and Environmental Health are One and the SameThere is No Such Thing As ThemIt's Bigger than Physical Things. We have non-material needs. 3 Rules of a Systems-Based Social Contract Establish a Physical Steady StateCreate central mandates while preserving the individual's right to chooseReconcile Price and CostWe use a discussion of Congestion Pricing as a policy that reconciles price and cost. Noting that there is a 0% chance of political systems creating the ideal situation, Todd introduces The Virtual Commonwealth which is a model for collective action where individuals form investing and purchasing communities because throwing our financial weight behind our beliefs is as critical as our voting weight is to our democracy.About the Guest:Todd Pooser is the founder and CEO of the Virtual Commonwealth. Todd's book, A Systems Approach to Public Administration and Social Equity, uses cross-disciplinary science to formulate “The Plan” – a series of social policies that if enacted, will enable humanity to live in the best possible world given the conditions of our existence. The Virtual Commonwealth is the commercial application of the concepts advanced in the book, which has been published by Emerald Publishing as part of a series on sustainability and social equity. As COO of an Ad Tech startup, Todd has raised $9M from both public companies and high net worth individuals.

In this episode, the hosts dig into a $6.9M luxury transportation company in Dubai featuring Rolls Royce limos, juicy cashflow, and an ultra-regulated moat — but uncover big risks tied to politics, licensing, and the challenges of operating in a tightly networked Emirati ecosystem.Business Listing – https://synergybb.com/listings/established-and-synergistic-luxury-transport-operations-uae/Welcome to Acquisitions Anonymous – the #1 podcast for small business M&A.

The Detroit Red Wings remain firmly in the Atlantic Division race — and this week proved why. Detroit delivered two massive statement wins, blanking the red-hot Montreal Canadiens 4–0 on the road and gutting out an overtime victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, another Eastern Conference heavyweight. Those weren't flukes — they were games where the Wings showed structure, composure, and the ability to shut teams down. Detroit's 3–0 loss to the Boston Bruins looks ugly on the surface, but context matters. This was the second night of a back-to-back after an emotional overtime win against the Carolina Hurricanes, followed by travel from Detroit to Boston. The third period turned into a possession nightmare, and it was clear the legs were gone. Not a great performance — but not a true reflection of who this team has been all season. Sometimes fatigue wins, and this felt like one of those nights. We also dig into trade chatter after Elliotte Friedman reported on 32 Thoughts that Detroit is among the frontrunners for Rasmus Andersson. His raw numbers don't jump off the page, but when you factor in his workload as Calgary's No. 1 defenseman, the fit in Detroit — behind Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson — gets very interesting. Nex, we discuss the unexpected name surfacing around the league: Dougie Hamilton. After being scratched in New Jersey and trade noise picking up, does his offensive upside outweigh the $9M cap hit and term? And would Detroit even want to commit long-term? Looking ahead, Detroit gets a chance to reset with games against the San Jose Sharks and the Ottawa Senators. After handling Ottawa on the road just a week ago, the question now is simple: do the Senators come in desperate for revenge, or does Detroit continue to assert itself as the more complete team? These are the kinds of games that matter in the standings — opportunities to bank points, control pace, and prove that the Wings belong in the top tier of the Atlantic. Big wins, smart context, and real trade talk — let's rant. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This episode opens with the Aave DAO civil war: a CoWSwap integration that allegedly routed swap fees to Aave Labs/Avara instead of the DAO, igniting “stealth privatization” claims, a “poison pill” push to seize Aave IP/brand, and a bigger fight over who really owns Aave.com and the protocol's front door. Next, the crew unpacks the Flow hack (a $3.9M mint exploit) and the wild rollback talk that followed — plus why forks and bridges make rollbacks dangerous, turning bridges into accidental custodians and breaking old security assumptions. Finally, they break down Coinbase's System Update and the “Everything Exchange” strategy — stocks, tokenization, perps, prediction markets, stablecoin rails — and whether this approach can win against Robinhood. DAO wars, chain chaos, and super-app ambition — let's get into it. Show highlights

He made £9M from ONE YouTube video. No ads. No sales team. Just a strategy that works. And he revealed it all live at the very first BusinessMania event in London. Most YouTube creators obsess over short-term hacks.  Jason Graystone did the opposite - he built a long-form tutorial so valuable it triggered millions in revenue, daily leads, and a 96% profit margin.  Now it's the biggest video in his niche and his business runs without needing to "sell". This session unpacks the strategy behind Jason's £9M YouTube engine.

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens Episode 361 barely able to speak. Area code 361, is a surprisingly stacked Corpus Christi résumé — from Farrah Fawcett's iconic poster-era fame to Eva Longoria, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Lynyrd Skynyrd's longtime keyboardist Billy Powell. The college football playoff drama continues, Notre Dame spent weeks ahead of Miami in the rankings only to get leapfrogged on a Saturday when neither team played — and then "boycott" bowl season in peak Irish fashion. From there they pivot to the Seahawks' 26–6 win in Atlanta, breaking down Sam Darnold's Jekyll-and-Hyde day (ugly first half, near-perfect second), Rashid Shaheed finally becoming a real factor in the passing game, and rookie safety Nick Emmanwori looking like a heat-seeking missile on an already elite defense. Rick breaks down a wild Selection Sunday, starting with the baffling late flip that dropped Notre Dame behind Miami despite neither team playing — a move he believes was driven more by ACC politics than football. He argues Alabama should've been penalized for an awful SEC title game showing, outlines why championship games now feel meaningless, and even says this version of Alabama "has no chance." Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 37–9 dismantling of the Falcons, a performance highlighted by back-to-back games without allowing a touchdown and the defense's most dominant two-week stretch since 2014. Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori delivered superstar-level days while the returns of Julian Love and Jarran Reed stabilized the unit even further. On offense, Sam Darnold shook off a miserable first half and exploded for 182 yards and three touchdowns after halftime. Mitch brings Brady and Joe back together for the first Mariners No-Table since the season ended in Toronto, diving straight into Seattle's early offseason headline: the five-year, $92M Josh Naylor deal — a rare moment where the Mariners actually did what "everyone agrees they should do." The guys break down why the front office moved so fast, whether it was an overpay, and what it signals to the clubhouse and the league. From there, they examine the next dominoes (Polanco, bullpen additions, third base uncertainty), debate Cole Young's floor vs. ceiling, unpack the Harry Ford trade, and even entertain the dream-but-unlikely scenario of trading for Tarik Skubal.   GUESTS   Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, OVer-Slot Substack   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch battles through a shredded voice, celebrates Corpus Christi's unexpected celebrity roster, and resets the stage for a massive week of Seahawks, CFP, and MLB offseason storylines. 9:10 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 12:43 | Notre Dame gets ghosted by the committee, Miami sneaks in from the couch, and the Seahawks finally wake up in Atlanta behind Sam Darnold, Rashid Shaheed, and a filthy defense. 27:02 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Committee chaos, Notre Dame's last-second flip, Alabama's free pass, and Rick's early read on who can actually win the 12-team playoff. 43:18 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Another defensive clinic, a second straight touchdown-free game, and an offense that finally woke up when it mattered. 1:05:10 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners lock up Josh Naylor, weigh Polanco's future, debate Cole Young's readiness, and navigate a pivotal offseason window. 1:32:50 | Other Stuff Segment: George Pickens vs Richard Sherman Instagram drama, early bowl games (LA Bowl timing), Washington State Cougars losing their coach to Iowa State, WSU coaching turnover history, Doug Gottlieb chair-throwing incident after UW-Green Bay loss, Hannes Steinbach breakout freshman season at Washington, UW basketball freshman class strength, comparing Steinbach to Dirk Nowitzki/Detlef Schrempf/Christian Welp, Utah Tech vs Santa Clara fight after poster dunk, anger over being posterized in the social-media era, Rancho Santa Fe mansion listed by Russell Wilson & Ciara for $54.9M, Liberace's historic LA home with piano-shaped pool for sale, Joey Chestnut wins 2025 wing-eating championship (242 wings in 10 minutes), Tyler Herro hit in groin by referee's errant pass, Seahawks vs Colts upcoming matchup, Huskies vs Boise State bowl game preview RIPs former NASCAR driver Michael Annett, former NBA big man Elden Campbell, former Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks HEADLINES man swallows stolen jeweled Fabergé-style egg and passes it naturally, Paris Hilton seen vacationing in St. Barts, Canadian geese attack Texas woman causing broken pelvis and internal bleeding, China ends condom tax exemption and adds fortunes inside wrappers

Don and Tom tackle investor “magical thinking,” especially the belief that private equity, non-traded REITs, and other illiquid “exclusive” investments offer hidden superior returns. They walk through Jason Zweig's recent reporting on a Florida pension fund that locked up money, paid higher fees, and earned under 1% a year. The conversation underscores why liquidity, transparency, and diversification matter far more than complexity or exclusivity. The episode also features listener questions on retirement withdrawal sequencing for a $9M portfolio, evaluating cash balance plans, and deciding between traditional vs. Roth 401(k) contributions.

Send us a textJoin me for ep 260 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6 Episode 8 gossip drop where I'm investigating the origins of that explosive TikTok video about Seth Marks allegedly cheating on Meredith, and wait until you hear how Bravo presented it versus what actually happened. I tracked down the influencer who made the video and discovered it was crowd gossip from a comment section, not a firsthand account like Bravo made it seem, and there's a reason why none of the best sleuths in the Bravo landscape could find this video. Then Angie Katsanevis drops a bomb about Todd Bradley allegedly making out with someone in New York who said he smelled like beans, and we discuss my deep dive into Todd's entire history including his previous marriage, his time at Hewlett-Packard, a fraud scandal, and court documents that reveal he and Bronwyn were living in separate states for years. There's a pattern emerging about Todd's behavior and whereabouts that makes this cheating allegation seem very possible. I'm also breaking down the RHOBH trailer and the new girl Amanda Frances McKinney who may have a criminal background nobody knew about, plus I found her arrest details and I'm exposing what appears to be a massive course scam similar to RHOSLC indicted Jen Shah involving high-priced life coaching classes. People are saying they spent thousands and got information available free on YouTube, and Amanda's response to being called a scammer on the show is wild. Plus Denise Richards got her restraining order against Aaron Phypers and he's facing deportation, and I'm continuing my deep dive into Virginia Giuffre's book where she reveals how Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell tracked her down in Australia to threaten her, how her father was allegedly paid off by Epstein, and the legal strategy that finally allowed her case to move forward despite the settlement agreement.TIME CODE HIGHLIGHTS:

Now his 18-year-old daughter, Lila Stines, has taken to TikTok (1.9M views) to address wild rumors linking her to the judge — rumors she says intensified her grief.

It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means?

So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault?
