When Beav Brodie was handed his wife's purple diaper bag to carry around town, he knew something had to change. As a tattooed, custom car-building dad, that bag just didn't fit. So he did what any problem-solver would do—he grabbed his sewing machine and made his own. That side project turned into Tactical Baby Gear, a thriving eCommerce brand that's become the go-to for dads who want gear that's as functional as it is badass. In this episode, Beav shares his journey from knowing absolutely nothing about eCommerce (including what a UPC code was) to building a product line that customers trust and keep coming back for. He also pulls back the curtain on navigating the chaos of 2025—from Meta auction issues to tariff headwinds—and why he's betting big on Amazon and YouTube as his growth channels for the year ahead.—Sponsored by OMG Commerce - go to (https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact) and request your FREE strategy session today!—Chapters: (00:00) Opening & Introducing Beav Brodie(04:45) 2025 Headwinds, Tariffs & Personal Life Challenges(08:45) Becoming a Real Operator: Systems, SOPs & Founder Mindset Shifts(12:00) Origin Story: From Custom Cars to Tactical Baby Gear(17:00) Manufacturing Realities: COVID, Price Creep & Moving Abroad(24:38) Recover hidden Amazon revenue with Threecolts(25:33) Meta Constraints & The Founder Bottleneck in Content(29:30) UGC, Influencers & Why Authenticity Beats “Pretty” Content(36:25) Offers, Acquisition & The Realities of Low-Repeat Categories(42:10) Brand vs Discounts: Community, Trust & True LTV(47:00) Channel Expansion & Product Philosophy(50:19) PostPilot: Direct mail that prints money.—Connect With Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrettcurry/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@omgcommerce Website: https://www.omgcommerce.com/ Request a Free Strategy Session: https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact Relevant Links:Tactical Baby Gear: https://tacticalbabygear.comSponsor Offer | Threecolts: http://threecolts.comSponsor Offer | PostPilot: http://postpilot.com/Past guests on eCommerce Evolution include Ezra Firestone, Steve Chou, Drew Sanocki, Jacques Spitzer, Jeremy Horowitz, Ryan Moran, Sean Frank, Andrew Youderian, Ryan McKenzie, Joseph Wilkins, Cody Wittick, Miki Agrawal, Justin Brooke, Nish Samantray, Kurt Elster, John Parkes, Chris Mercer, Rabah Rahil, Bear Handlon, JC Hite, Frederick Vallaeys, Preston Rutherford, Anthony Mink, Bill D'Allessandro, Stephane Colleu, Jeff Oxford, Bryan Porter and more

Dans cet épisode, Laurent reçoit à nouveau Lucas Lefebvre, cofondateur de La Fourche, le magasin bio en ligne le moins cher de France. Trois ans après son premier passage, il revient nous expliquer comment La Fourche a affiné son modèle, renforcé son ADN et accéléré sa croissance, alors même que le marché du bio vivait ses pires années. Car si La Fourche superforme dans un écosystème en chute libre, c'est grâce à son modèle d'adhésion : un pilier qui lui permet de casser les prix des produits en réduisant drastiquement les coûts publicitaires. Résultat : l'entreprise a enregistré +76% de croissance en 2023, alors que le marché du bio reculait d'environ -10%. Sa marque propre compte désormais 400 références et représente plus de la moitié des ventes.

This week on Business Buying Strategies, we bring you something different — a behind-the-scenes recording of a live seminar where Jonathan Jay walks an audience of ambitious entrepreneurs through his proven approach to buying and growing businesses without using their own cash. If you've ever thought, "Surely this can't be possible?" — this episode will challenge everything you think you know about business growth, retirement planning, and personal freedom. Here's what you'll learn: Why acquisitions can fast-track your business goals more effectively than organic growth The single deal that changed Jonathan's life — and how one deal could change yours too The timeline and mindset needed to buy, build and exit a business in just 36 months How to create your own "capital event" every year — even if you've never bought a business before Different acquisition strategies (competitor, supply chain, sector expansion, buy-and-build) How to buy property as part of your deal — and use it as a long-term wealth engine Why most people overpay — and how to avoid the #1 mistake new dealmakers make Why buying a business is not the same as buying yourself a job (unless you do it wrong) Jonathan's honest take on distressed businesses, franchises, and due diligence risks How to build a bulletproof acquisition plan — and position yourself as a credible buyer from day one Whether you're a first-time buyer, a business owner looking to scale, or someone seeking a smarter path to retirement, this episode is packed with practical insight and inspiring case studies. You'll also hear: ✅ What to say when sellers ask, "Why do you want to buy my business?" ✅ How to negotiate like a professional — and avoid paying more than you should ✅ Why systems, marketing know-how and Trade Mastermind strategies give you an edge ✅ The importance of aligning deal structure with your goals, personality, and strengths "You are one deal away from everything you want." Jonathan's message is clear — but the strategy has to be right. If you're serious about buying a business – and avoiding the mistakes Jonathan outlines – book a free Clarity Call with one of his team:

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore how Salesforce's acquisition of Informatica strengthens its foundation for delivering trustworthy, agentic AI.Highlights00:04 — A few years back, when I was covering the cloud data management firm Informatica on a regular basis, the rumor mill was rife with speculation that the company was set to be acquired by Salesforce. It didn't happen right away, but ultimately, that's what transpired.00:22 — Now, Salesforce has announced that the acquisition is complete and Informatica is now part of the company — and it makes perfect sense. Informatica emerged as one of the most creative and forward-thinking cloud data management platforms out there.00:39 — The company was quick to adopt generative AI with its CLAIRE GPT tool and soon embedded this enhanced functionality across its Intelligent Data Management Cloud, or IDMC. And now Salesforce has all of this capability within its own ecosystem, and it's an enviable place to be.00:59 — Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has been quick to highlight how the integration of Informatica will benefit Salesforce customers in their agentic AI journey, saying: “You have to get your data right to get your AI right ... Informatica is the trusted platform that turns fragmented enterprise data into context so every agent can reason, act, and deliver outcomes with precision."01:43 — Benioff is spot-on with that opening line: You have to get your data right to get your AI right. And with Informatica's tech supporting a scalable data foundation, Salesforce is enabling just that. If, like Salesforce, you can provide not only the tools to develop an agentic AI ecosystem but also the data foundation to support it, you find yourself in a very strong position indeed.

Continuing its global expansion plan, and its commitment to the African continent, Integrity360 has acquired Redshift, a well-established and highly regarded cyber security services company operating out of Johannesburg in South Africa. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition comes on the back of Integrity360's considerable investment in the region following the 2024 and early 2025 acquisitions of the Grove Group and Nclose. The acquisition brings Integrity360 resources in South Africa to a team of over 230 employees serving the needs of customers across Africa. Integrity360's operations in Johannesburg and Cape Town also serve as key locations for its integrated "global SOC" (Security Operations Centre) operation which delivers a comprehensive suite of managed services, including EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), XDR (Extended Detection and Response), and MDR (Managed Detection and Response) solutions for both local and international customers. Founded in 2015, Redshift has developed a reputation for service excellence amongst its customers, specifically for cyber security testing but also a selection of other specialised activities including cyber crime investigations, anti fraud advisory, scammer group takedowns, cyber intelligence, and a focused range of managed services. Redshift adds approx. 50 customers including many leading South African finance, banking and telecommunications organisations, and an additional team of approx. 40 employees to the group. Redshift will serve as a regional centre of excellence for the group for cyber security testing, and also be connected up with the existing Integrity360 cyber advisory and managed services teams operating in the region. Integrity360 will invest in the development and expansion of the business utilising the considerable resources across the group. Redshift customers will benefit from access to Integrity360's highly extensive and complementary cyber services portfolio encapsulating cyber risk and assurance, highly comprehensive 24/7 incident response and forensics services, infrastructure and technology services, PCI compliance, OT (operational technology) consulting and solutions, and a highly comprehensive range of cyber security managed services ranging from managing cyber infrastructure, to Managed SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), Managed CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management), and a full suite of innovative XDR/MDR solutions. Integrity360's innovative range of services have been recognised five times in a Gartner market guide, most recently for Incident Response and Forensic services. Ian Brown, Executive Chairman at Integrity360 commented: "We are very excited to be welcoming Sean, Cailan and the entire Redshift team to Integrity360. The reputation and expertise they have developed since their formation in 2015 is highly impressive and we are looking forward to helping them provide an enhanced set of services to their customers and expanding further in the African market over the coming years." Sean Howell and Cailan Sacks, Directors of Redshift, commented: "This is a significant moment for us, and we could not be more delighted that Redshift is joining Integrity360 and continuing the growth and development of the business that was initially started by Sean a decade ago. Thanks to the support of our customers and employees, Redshift has grown enormously during that time, and having spent considerable time with Ian, and the wider Integrity360 leadership team, we are confident will continue to do so being part of the Integrity360 group.

Study the daily lesson of Sefer HaMitzvos for day 275 with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, where he teaches the mitzvah in-depth with added insight and detail.
James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to highlight their recently announced transformational acquisition of the Bolanitos Gold-Silver Mine from Endeavour Silver, and to review the key takeaways from Q3 2025 operations and financials. We also end the discussion getting his technical outlook on the recent price action, and supply/demand fundamentals for silver. On November 24th Guanajuato Silver announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Bolanitos gold-silver located in Guanajuato, Mexico, from Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR) for total consideration of up to US$50 million, consisting of (i) upfront consideration at closing of US$40, which is comprised of US$30 million in cash and US$10 million of Guanajuato Silver common at a deemed price of US$0.2709413 (Cdn$0.3815) per share. (ii) In addition to the Upfront Consideration, Guanajuato Silver will make two contingent payments to Endeavour, each being US$5 million, upon achieving production of two million ounces of silver-equivalent and four million ounces of silver-equivalent, respectively. Each Contingent Payment will be satisfied 50% in cash and 50% in Guanajuato Shares. Bolanitos Acquisition Highlights Bolanitos will be Guanajuato Silver's 5th producing precious metals mine in Mexico. Upon the completion of the Transaction, the Company will operate three primary silver mines (Topia, Valenciana, and El Cubo) and two primary gold mines (Bolanitos and San Ignacio). 2024 Production at Bolanitos totaled 2,471,027 silver-equivalent (AgEq) ounces from 427,646 tonnes grading 39 g/t silver and 1.98 g/t gold for 452,627 ounces of silver and 25,230 ounces of gold. Silver and gold recoveries were 84.4% and 92.7% respectively. AgEq calculated at 80:1 silver to gold ratio (see Endeavour MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024). The acquisition of Bolanitos significantly increases Guanajuato Silver's resource base, adding in approximately 25 million silver equivalent ounces. The incorporation of the San Ignacio Mine into the Bolanitos Mines Complex is expected to rapidly generate improved economics and expanded mine life; mineralized material mined at San Ignacio will now be transported to the nearby 1,600 tonnes per day Bolanitos flotation plant; as Bolanitos and San Ignacio are contiguous to one another, this is expected to dramatically reduce transportation costs and increase utilization at the Bolanitos mill. The Transaction also includes the acquisition of the historic Cebada mine, which is located contiguous and to the north of theCompany's Valenciana Mines Complex (VMC). The Company intends to reactivate Cebada, which is currently on care and maintenance, as an important exploration and development project. Selected Q3 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights: Working capital improved over the quarter by $11.3M or 168% compared to Q2; working capital for Q3 2025 was $4.6M compared to negative $6.7M in Q2 2025. The Company reported positive operating cash flows of $3,065,567 for the first nine months of 2025; in Q3 the Company generated positive cash flow from mining operations of $712,271 with realized metal prices of $39.03 for Silver and $3,441 for gold. Production for the quarter of 457,525 silver-equivalent ounces (AgEq) comprising 245,369 ounces of silver, 2,025 ounces of gold, 597,269 pounds of lead and 741,595 pounds of zinc. Silver equivalents are calculated using an 87.70:1 (Ag/Au), 0.02:1 (Ag/Pb) and 0.03:1 (Ag/Zn) ratio for Q3 2025. Increased capital expenditures over the quarter are expected to generate improved efficiencies into 2026. Capital expenditures were 97% higher in Q3 over Q2. The investments included additions to the mining fleet, relining of Mill 3 at El Cubo, continued work to install a Falcon gravity concentrator at the Topia plant designed to further increase gold recoveries in concentrates, pre-development work at Pinguico, and dewatering programs at both Valenciana and El Cubo. Wrapping up James and I discuss the continued bullish technical setup in the silver price, closing this last Friday at an all-time high, and breaking well above long-term resistance at $50, and even more intermediate-term resistance around $54. James lays out the fundamental supply/demand environment for silver, and why the framework is there to keep seeing elevated silver prices moving forward. James also gives listeners an update on the gold:silver ratio, putting current pricing in the context of historical patterns.
