Dr. Tim Tenneriello started out as a high school athlete who wanted to coach… which turned into a career running schools, then buying and scaling companies, then rebuilding wealth management practices from the inside.Through his career journey , he learned nobody actually cares about your resume if you can just help them get from point A to point B.That mindset took a struggling school to the top of its portfolio in four years, grew a company from $5M to $9M in his first year, and eventually led him to Procyon, where he now helps a team of 85 people do the same thing for their clients.In this episode of The Dillon England Show, we covered: → Why buying an existing business can beat starting one from scratch → The imposter syndrome that doesn't actually go away → What a rising tide needs to work, and what a sinking one does too → What Procyon does for business owners, from family office services to M&A supportThe big takeaway: the money follows the growth of people… Every.

Day 5 of 50 Days for Freedom, hosted from @Swan after Cory's handle hit tech trouble. Swan's buy fee sits at 50 basis points through Labor Day. Framing doc: swan.com/battle. Cory on disagreeing well. Three summers of shows with Vlad Costea despite splitting on layer twos and drivechain. A lot of people we think we oppose actually love Bitcoin, and privacy is common ground. UK digital ID scrapped, sort of. Suz reports the £1.8B scheme killed after a 2.9M-signature petition and cross-party opposition. Her warning: canceling a brand name is not abandoning the architecture. The back door is already open. GOV.UK One Login covers 122 services, with all central government services slated to join by 2027. Age verification, employment checks, and the Online Safety Act converge on the same result. America's version, differently packaged. No single federal portal yet, but Real ID, mobile driver's licenses, and digital age checks add up. Federalism is a partial brake. Panel consensus: very close. Fear plus convenience is the playbook. 9/11, COVID, now the FATF travel rule reframed as national security. Suz: "you can make a scared man do anything." Bitcoin's answer is separating money from the identity gateway. Fourth Turning, with an exit. Brady's case: institutions are collapsing on schedule, but this cycle has Bitcoin and Nostr already built. Freedom tech that math makes un-co-optable. Cory's version: ten million US Bitcoiners, the race to avoid the war. Education is the whole mission. Lyn Alden's Seven Misconceptions, Vijay's 2018 Bullish Case article, Yan Pritzker's Inventing Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin Season documentary. Cory: understanding earns you the right to own more. ETF buyers who skipped it get lettuce hands. Swan versus Coinbase, box by box. Swan Sovereign, Swan Vault multisig, Swan Safe Plus with live video withdrawal confirmation, buy fees under Coinbase's advanced exchange, and Swan covering network fees. Plus Steve's scarcity chart: 60 million millionaires, 21 million coins. Agentic commerce wants Bitcoin. Scott's Machine Economy project, Buzz, Lightning Labs' Wavelength, and HTTP 402 finally getting built. An agent needs only a keypair. Cory also set the BIP110 policy: not daily here, but a moderated debate is coming.

Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.Here is the link to the TechMoat Consulting.Here is the link to our Tech Tours.Why I like AgiBot:Has rapidly expanded into a full suite of robotsGoing after all the humanoid industries and use casesBuilding an almost full AI tech stack. Everything except chips.Founded and run by Huawei executives. Moving very fast.A good strategy. It appears similar to Huawei.AgiBot's strategy is to flood the market with affordable humanoids while growing the entire ecosystem with open datasets and open models. They are scaling fast in manufacturing, usage and training.They mass-produce the hardware at scale so thousands of identical robots can collect real-world data in homes and factories.At the same time they open-source the entire stack: the million-trajectory AgiBot World dataset, the GO-1 foundation model, the training tools, and the GenieSim simulation twin—so researchers and developers can build skills and applications on top without paying anything.AgiBot's affordable humanoid platform as infrastructure. Hardware sales and ecosystem services become the revenue, not software licensing.Now in the top 1-2 in humanoid sales.AgiBot shipped approximately 5168 humanoid units in 2025. ---------I am a consultant & keynote speaker on how to increase digital growth and strengthen digital AI moats.I am the founder of TechMoat Consulting, a consulting firm specialized in increasing digital growth and strengthening digital AI moats.

In this throwback episode, we sit down with Elizabeth Thompson, Senior Manager of Social Media at National Geographic, who leads strategy for one of the largest social ecosystems in the world — over 400 million followers across platforms. Elizabeth shares the career journey that took her from Army brat and freelancer to running social for one of the most iconic storytelling brands, including how she grew Nat Geo's Instagram from 250M to 270M followers and TikTok from 2.5M to 9M. We unpack how a 137-year-old brand stays culturally relevant today, how her team uses UGC, reactive content, and new platform features to reach global audiences, and what creators and marketers can learn from building social strategy at scale. This one is packed with timeless frameworks — worth a relisten or a first listen if you missed it.Key Takeaways:// How to grow a legacy brand on social: The relevance, resonance, and risk framework Nat Geo uses to decide which cultural moments are worth jumping on — and which to sit out.// The power of UGC at scale: Why Nat Geo Your Shot was reimagined as a creative community, not just a content bucket — and how it drives belonging, not just reach.// Building strategy for massive audiences: How Elizabeth approaches content for 400M+ followers across seven platforms, and why an always-on strategy and engagement plays both have to coexist.// Career lessons for social pros: How internships spanning PR, journalism, and email marketing — plus a freelance business and a master's degree in Germany — shaped her path to Nat Geo.// Team building and cross-functional alignment: What transparency, flexibility, and proactive communication actually look like inside a large, matrixed organization.// The timeless principles that will outlast every algorithm shift: Authenticity, community, and adaptability — and why these three things will always matter no matter what the platforms do next.____Join the MHH Collective!

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 40. Matthias Schmidt-Lehr (AMPOWER, Executive Partner) joins Danny for this episode and we are very thankful to have him back. In Episode 40, Danny and Matthias approach markets and deals largely with AI in mind. AI is a huge enabler for the 3DP/AM industry, but in different ways for different parts of the industry. First, Danny and Matthias discuss the desktop 3DP/AM market with respect to industrial users and of course also with respect to AI. Then the discussion shifts upstream to industrial 3DP/AM applications of AI. Along the way, there are some very topical 3DP/AM deals and financings to reference. Finally, Danny and Matthias manage to exhaust the limits of AI, with respect to 3DP/AM deals anyway. So, they dive in for a few laps of more general deal analysis. Throughout this episode there are a lot of reference to past deals and episodes. Historical references are made to Backflip, Axial3D, Euler, Interspectral, Freeform, Seurat, VulcanForms, Alloy Enterprises, Metal Powder Works, 6K Additive, and more. We mentioned Matthias' past appearance on Printing Money, but also a heads up to stay tuned for some more great AMPOWER content coming to 3DPrint.com soon. Please enjoy Episode 40 and check out our previous episodes too. This episode was recorded July 14, 2026.

This week's live session breaks down our government‑backed real estate playbook — the programs that lower down payments, guarantee rents, and make commercial deals possible for beginners. Peter simplifies the financing tools, the loan guarantees, and the housing voucher systems that turn Section 8 into reliable, stress‑free cash flow.Student Spotlight: You'll also hear how Ken used these steps to acquire a 24‑unit property, raise its performance, and grow it from a $1.2M purchase to a $2.9M valuation — building roughly $1.7M in wealth in three years using government support. He'll walk through the government program he used and how he applied the playbook from start to finish.
Pokémon Go removed the paywall from its biggest event of the year and made more money than any paid version in half a decade. That's the monetization masterclass of the week — and it's just one of five stories that matter.Matej Lančarič flies solo for the news segment, and it's a heavy week. Pokémon Go hit its 10th anniversary with over $9B in lifetime revenue, then ran GoFest 2026 as its first-ever free, no-ticket event — triggering a $15.1M single day, the game's highest in five years, and a 17-position leap to #2 in monthly revenue. Love and Deepspace is unfolding into the most instructive disaster of the year, with a cancelled love interest, a 230,000-signature petition, funeral flowers and cow dung sent to the studio, and a pulled Bilibili World appearance. Microsoft cut 4,800 jobs with Xbox facing roughly 3,200 over the next year — about 20% of the division — with King in the blast radius and a memo admitting the business "is not healthy" at ~3% margin. AppLovin opened Axon to global self-serve and the stock ripped from the mid-$440s to $564 in two weeks. And Meta shipped Muse image plus new AI-ad labeling that puts a visible tag right next to "Sponsored" if your creative features a photorealistic AI person.Five stories, one theme: the old assumptions about paywalls, scale, and trust are all breaking at once.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Cold open 00:30 Pokémon Go's free GoFest monetization masterclass02:30 The Love and Deepspace catastrophe05:00 Xbox cuts 3,200 — King in the blast radius07:00 AppLovin opens Axon to self-serve08:30 Meta's Muse image and the new AI ad labels10:00 Quick hits — UK job losses, Netmarble takes 40% of WeMade━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Joe Biden just announced his new memoir, "Promise Me, America" — and Larry breaks down the announcement video line by line. From the eerie echo of his "Promise Me, Dad" book about Beau (written while Hunter was allegedly on a crack binge), to everything conveniently missing from the "achievements" reel: the border crisis (6.9M+ apprehensions), the inflation Democrats denied in real time, and the Afghanistan withdrawal. Plus, Lindsey Graham's unforgettable nickname for Biden, and the worst decision of his presidency — before he even took office.

Joel Friedland calls himself the most risk-averse real estate investor in the United States, and he has the scar tissue to prove it.In 2008 he was carrying $70 million in personal guarantees across 50 buildings. Ten of them were going to have to be sold at a loss. He sat his wife down and told her, and he watched her fall back in her chair. What followed was months of depression he describes without flinching in this conversation. He came out of it with a conclusion most investors never reach: the problem was not real estate, it was the way he was structuring the deals.Today Joel and his team at Brit Properties buy small single-tenant industrial buildings in Chicago, and they buy three out of every four of them with no debt at all. The ceiling is 30% loan-to-value. That boundary is not a strategy so much as a mental health requirement, and he is refreshingly blunt that it costs him upside.He is also one of maybe five syndicators in the country doing it. He does not know who the other four are.This is Joel's second appearance on the show. After the first one, Ed changed how Clark St underwrites deals. That is not a marketing line, it is what happened.What we get into:Why Joel compares over-leveraged real estate investors to gamblers, right down to the part where they hide the risk from their spousesThe 2008 collapse in his own words, and the boundary he set on the other side of itThe buy box: single-tenant only, 7,000 to 30,000 square feet, no flex, no multi-tenant, and specific dock, ceiling-height and parking requirementsHow 20 towns out of 200, and 700 buildings out of 17,000, makes the pipeline small enough to actually work, and why his team still knocks on doors to find dealsThe secret-sauce exit: 77 of Joel's 82 sales went to owner-occupants who pay a premium over cap-rate buyers, not to investorsA live deal he is in the middle of on Stern Avenue, bought for $1.9M with $400K into the rehab, and the neighbor across the street who wants itThe Keebler building: bought for $6M, sold for $17M, a 40% IRR over a 15-year Comcast lease, and why that grand slam required the leverage he now avoidsWhy his 250 investors, averaging roughly $20 million in net worth, are not looking to get rich, and are looking for somewhere that is not the casinoReshoring, tariffs, and the honest math on why manufacturing is not all coming backThe batter who never strikes outLightning round: the mentors (the Podolsky family, and 99-year-old Nate Wagner, who Joel has bought breakfast nearly every Saturday for 15 years), the deal he wants back, the book on his nightstand, and how he defines success.Connect with Joel FriedlandBrit Properties: britproperties.comBook mentioned1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin: find it on AmazonConnect with Ed Mathews and Clark St CapitalWebsite: clarkst.comNewsletter: Underground InsightsSubmit a deal: clarkst.com/submit-your-dealElevista - Speed as a Service™Elevista Connect is the first AI-powered lead conversion system built for real estate investors.

This week's podcast is about the emergence of agentic commerce. This is a big change to traditional omnichannel.Plus, there is a bit more of a rant about the recent Anthropic and OpenAI ban. My prediction is the future of AI outside of the USA is now:Open source, downloadable and non-embargoable models plusLow cost, tech agnostic AI architectureWhich probably means China. And probably Nvidia.You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.Here is the link to the TechMoat Consulting.Here is the link to our Tech Tours.The 5 steps to get into agentic commerce are:Start building a council of LLMs.This means a couple of frontier models and lots of open source (a symphony of models). The net is a composable model with a router than directs all queries. The key AI and agents need to be able to code. That is their superpower.Get to the tipping point where an end-to-end workflow has agents and AI, with no humans in the loop. Then you can scale up to 100-200 agents.This means fixing the quality problems before you scale.Get to the tipping point where agents create agents (an agent factory). This gest you to thousands of agents.This includes onboarding, training and oversight of agents.Centralize enterprise data and context for AI and agents.You need updated centralized data that your enterprise AI can access.

Real homie talk, in these NFL streets the price of the brick only goes up. AFC North GMs back up the Brinks truck and lock down your drafted talent before the market resets. Pittsburgh, stop playing. Peezy Jr.'s rookie deal is ending, his stock is going to the moon with Elon Musk, and his pops ain't letting him get shorted. Ring'em up at $27M–$30M, basically just get it done. Cleveland, you better rework Denzel Ward's $16.9M base before that cap hit bleeds your books. Cincinnati, D.J. Turner just had a monster 2025. Bag that boy for $16M–$20M per, before that thrift-store pricing ain't so thrifty. Baltimore, your WR1 Zay Flowers wants to move on up like the Jeffersons. Is he worth $35M per? Tough decision, it's time to cut the checks. Word of advice from homie to homie: pay 'em now, because the market never stops and the prices never drop.

Everyone keeps coming up to me like they're attending my business's funeral. "How are things?" And I'm standing there like... everything's actually great? My business keeps growing. But I get it. There's no shortage of people online saying digital products are dead, courses are dead, the whole thing is over.Here's the thing: the market has changed. A lot. And if you have a digital product or course, you've probably felt it. Buyers are taking longer to make decisions, coming in with their guard up, asking more questions. But "harder" is not the same as "dead." After 10 years in this industry and $9M in digital product sales, I want to give you my honest take on what's actually happening, what's changed, and exactly what it takes to build and sell a digital product that still works in 2026 and beyond.In this episode, you'll hear…Why buyer skepticism is at an all-time high and what actually caused itHow the 2020-2021 online business boom (and AI) flooded the market with low-quality productsThe real reason information-only products are struggling, and what to do insteadSix things your digital product must do to succeed in today's economyWhy cold-audience funnels are suffering the most right nowWhat "long game trust" actually looks like, and why it's your biggest competitive advantageThe honest truth about how much work building a successful digital product takesClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Grab Sam's Book When I Start My Business, I'll Be HappyGrab The Ultimate Bundle® on sale through Friday, June 26th.Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER
Story of the Week (DR):Big Media Dictatorship Craziness MMJustice Department Decision to Allow Paramount Deal Surprised Staff Investigators and US approval of Paramount/Warner Bros. deal surprised DOJ lawyers and The UFC's Despicable Night at the White House Senior Justice Department officials suddenly closed an eight-month antitrust investigation and approved Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, shocking career staff attorneys who were preparing to recommend a lawsuit to block it.DOJ investigators worried the combined company's massive debt would prevent it from honoring its promise to release 30 movies annually. However, senior leadership dismissed the debt concerns, arguing the merger would beneficially create a stronger rival to streaming giants like Netflix.The unexpected approval has drawn intense criticism from lawmakers, notably Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who suggested the green light from the administration was politically motivated and stated the decision "reeks of corruption."The deal also faces regulatory hurdles at the FCC; despite Chairman Brendan Carr's support, the merger requires a special FCC waiver due to significant equity stakes held by sovereign wealth funds in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.While the federal government has stepped aside, the mega-merger still faces strict, ongoing antitrust scrutiny from the European Union and potential lawsuits from several state Attorneys General (including California) who insist the merger is not a done deal.Comcast Class A Shareholders Reject $107M Co-CEO Pay as Stock Slid 20%Brian Roberts 34% of vote42% no on pay with Roberts: 80% no without David Zaslav 2025 Pay Rejected By WBD Shareholders In Non-Binding Vote84% no for his $165MNo major shareholder: On the verge of being acquired by the EllisonsFox Corp to acquire Roku in $22B dealFox increased CEO/Chair Lachlan K.

The airline determined that the consumption occurred the day before departure and represented a breach of internal policy, escalating the matter from a single failed test to a wider compliance violation within the crew pairing on that layover."We sincerely apologize for the incident involving flight JL252 on May 23, which has severely damaged the trust placed in us. We take this seriously, recognizing it stems from structural weaknesses in our organizational monitoring. Moving forward, we are fully committed to ensuring safety and restoring trust by strengthening our inspection procedures and implementing company-wide reforms."Japan Airlines responded by implementing disciplinary measures affecting both frontline staff and senior management.CEO Mitsuko Tottori, the first female to lead the company after joining as a flight attendant herself in 1985, accepted a 30% reduction in salary for two months, while other executives also received temporary pay cuts as part of the company's internal accountability process.Safety manager Yukio Nakagawa and cabin services manager Junko Nakano will each take a 20% salary reduction for one month.Meanwhile, all other directors will receive a 10% pay cut over the same period.Alongside executive action, the airline introduced a stricter policy banning alcohol consumption during layovers for more than 6,000 flight attendants.

Blue Origin's latest rocket test ended in what the company called "an anomaly" — and what everyone else would call an explosion. Reed Albergotti (Semafor) explains why blowing things up is just part of the process and why the US Space Program is probably going to be fine. Then, Kyle Chayka (The New Yorker) pulls back the curtain on the shadow market for pre-IPO equity in OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX. It’s a mania where people are willing to take pre-IPO stock as payment for $2.9M houses. It's frothy out there. Finally, Taylor Lorenz (User Mag) digs into the concept of a ‘permanent underclass’ — the fear that letting AI run rampant could freeze everyone in their current economic position forever. Do we laugh it off or get serious about regulation? Additional Reading: Blue Origin and Amazon Had Momentum. Then Came the Fireball. | The New York Times A Booming Shadow Market of Sketchy A.I.
