Hi, this is Bob, VK4BOB up in the tropical paradise of Cairns. Ten hams from Cairns Amateur Radio Club travelled up to Cooktown in Far North Queensland on 14 August 2026 to operate the next day, Saturday, from the carpark by the Grassy Hill Lighthouse using the club's call VK4GrassyHillLighthouse. But first, on Friday evening many of us enjoyed a sunset cheese and bikkies cruise on the river and into the mangrove swamps. On Saturday a few of us also activated POTA locations including the Grassy Hill Lighthouse State Heritage Area, Endeavour River, Endeavour River National Park, and Black Mountain National Park. For some of our newer members these were their introductions to this part of our hobby. Much of the day up on Grassy Hill seemed to be spent socialising rather than playing radio, especially with hot dogs for lunch then later spag bol and curried rice for dinner plus snacks and freshly brewed coffee throughout the day. Just after sunset however we saw on the weather radar a rather nasty stretch of rain heading up the coast towards us. We had the large gazebo, cooking gear, tables, chairs, antenna, radio, batteries and all the other stuff packed away in record time just as the first drops of rain hit us, so unfortunately there went the evening's chances of some good DX. Cairns Amateur Radio Club stepped up and the callsign was transferred to us. We'll be back there next year for sure and visitors will be welcome. So start planning now! Well Hi - it's Sunday 23Aug and time for a bit of a look at what's coming up for the Darling Downs Radio Club and other things. Almost sounds like the title of a song. The Management Committee met last Sunday and decided... ooh, lots of important stuff, which will be detailed in a note to members and others shortly. We're only just out of the blocks from the AGM, and already setting up meetings for the coming year and working towards our big goal of a permanent clubhouse. Congratulations to Perry, VK4PER, who joins us as a member of the Management Committee. Perry gained his Australian licence earlier this year using the club's assessment team, and hasn't looked back. If you're in the Downs area and would like to get or upgrade your licence, we're here to help. There's no charge for assessments or coaching; that's how keen we are to give you a start or improve your skills. And there are no gender or age barriers. Many of our members have had a licence since their teens, and intend to keep going until... well, just keep going. Gotta love this hobby. Our next club meeting is on Monday 14 September, and we're touring radio station 4DDB. Community radio is such a great training ground, where you can learn all kinds of skills that are useful in the big world, and give back to help others create content. The tour will show you what goes into a radio station to make it work, and how signals move around. Come and learn about balanced lines, circular polarisation, and audio interfaces. All stuff that you can use around the shack to improve what you do on-air. Monday 14 September, at 4DDB in Toowoomba and details are on the website at ddrci.org.au Last Sunday we ran our first full weekly-2m-net using the refurbished repeater - now improved with Echolink. Getting on Echolink as a user sounds intimidating, but is easy once you have the steps in place. We've put a guide to doing that on the website, cleverly hidden as a calendar entry on the rotator - just go the homepage and wait until the obvious words come around, then click. Simples!

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We were live from AGM's RIA Field Trip at Franklin Templeton's New York office in Madison Square Park with Franklin Templeton's Head of Private Markets - Americas Wealth Management Dave Donahoo to discuss the nuances of serving the wealth channel.Dave brings the perspective of someone who has seen the wealth channel handle multiple market cycles and an understanding of both traditional and alternative asset management, while always keeping the outcome for the end investor in mind.Dave started his career in the depths of the 2008 financial crisis at T. Rowe Price, where he worked with individual investors. He rose up the ranks of T. Rowe Price and then joined Blackstone as a Principal in the firm's Private Wealth Solutions business before moving to Franklin Templeton as Head of Private Markets - Americas Wealth Management.Unpacking nuances in private markets, Dave discussed why he believes a “family of specialists” with a “narrow scope” is critical for a private markets investment platform and how a traditional asset manager can approach building brand in private markets. We had a fascinating discussion, covering:How Dave's background starting his career working with individual investors has informed how he approaches creating solutions for the wealth channel.Why LPs want to do more with fewer partners and what this means for GPs.Specialists vs. generalists.Why RIAs have “cold call fatigue.”What RIAs want from a product perspective and why differentiation, trust, and proactive client service are top of the list.How asset managers can approach brand-building.The product innovation roadmap and what the path to 401(k) and DC products might look like.Thanks, Dave, for sharing a fascinating window into the wealth channel and for your passion, expertise, and dedication to providing private markets solutions to the wealth channel.Show Notes00:04 Live from Franklin Templeton RIA Field Trip00:07 Meet Dave Donahoo02:31 Lehman Day One Story03:15 Thrown Into the Phone Queues03:37 Teacher Call and Investor Fear04:53 Start With the End Client05:26 From T Rowe to Blackstone05:53 Blackstone Wealth Playbook07:18 Why Franklin Was the Fit08:09 Traditional Manager Advantages09:09 Platform Synergies in Wealth10:16 Challenges of Going Private10:36 Brand Transformation Story11:44 Internal Alignment and Change12:16 What the Brand Should Signal12:50 Specialist Managers Philosophy13:44 Building Perpetuals the Right Way14:13 Defining the Right Structure15:44 Evergreen Structure Depends16:09 Secondaries Structure Choice18:10 Infrastructure Partnership Model20:02 Preserving Investment Cultures21:50 Data and AI Cross Collaboration24:17 Macro Insights Across Platforms25:47 Product Innovation Roadmap27:06 Private Markets in 401k Plans27:53 What Model Portfolios Mean29:06 What RIAs Want Most30:21 Client Service and HonestyA Word from Our Sponsor, UltimusThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus, the full-service fund administrator and transfer agent powering asset managers in private and public markets.

In Episode 3 of our Rolling Smooth series, Doug Simcox sits down again with Stan Cromlish of Wandering Gypsy RV Life to talk about one of the biggest challenges on the road: power.From crowded rodeo grounds with questionable electrical hookups to keeping the air conditioner running on a hot summer day, Stan breaks down what RV owners, rodeo families, horse trailers and travelers need to know about soft-start systems, generators, inverters, converters and batteries.We also talk about maintaining your RV air-conditioning system, improving cooling performance, AGM versus lithium batteries, and a few lessons learned the hard way from years of traveling.Because when you're miles from home, parked at a rodeo ground and everybody is plugged into the same power pole, you definitely don't want to be the guy who shuts everybody down.Rolling Smooth is about practical lessons from the road — keeping your rig safe, reliable and ready for the next adventure.Listen, follow, subscribe and share.

In this conversation, they explain what it actually takes to put one jet in the air, how a young maintenance team learned under pressure, why the flight hours downrange ran far past anything they see at home, and the airman who did not get to work the night of the strike. Before Iran, the 55th Fighter Squadron fought over Yemen in Operation Rough Rider, a sustained air campaign against Houthi surface-to-air threats. What they learned there is the reason the F-16 Block 50 and the AGM-88 HARM were part of the strike package on June 21st, 2025. These interviews were recorded between December 2025 and January 2026 and preserve firsthand accounts from pilots, maintainers, intelligence officers, and logistics airmen who were there. 0:00 Getting the Jets Out the Door 7:03 Maintainers Working Across Airframes 9:49 Rough Rider and a Young Maintenance Team 15:54 The Configuration Changes That Tipped Us Off 18:07 What It Takes to Generate One Sortie 20:36 Maintenance Roles During Midnight Hammer 25:09 The Airman We Benched on the Super Bowl Have a story?

A year ago, I estimate this website would have cost me $50,000. I built it in one weekend with Claude and Codex, using no human production team — and a few thousand dollars in AI credits and tokens.This is not a step-by-step coding tutorial. In 5 minutes I break down why asking AI to "build me a better website" is not enough, and what I actually did instead: fed it raw files, had it build me an accept-or-reject board so I could approve or reject every image, video, and graphic, then directed the result. I cover where Codex and Claude each performed best, how I handed work back and forth between them when one got stuck, and how Vercel and Cloudflare fit into the finished site.The real advantage is not a single AI tool. It is your ability to think, communicate, make creative decisions, and direct the tools toward a clear result.See the finished AGM website: https://agmagency.com/See my finished website: https://manuelsuarez.com/Building with AI right now?

This is Allan VK4HIT with news from Ipswich and District Radio Club. We're into August already which means its annual general meeting time for the club. This will be held on Saturday August 22 at 10am. This month's business meeting is once again on the same day as the AGM. A reminder that annual dues need to be up to date to vote at the AGM. July's business meeting noted in the WICEN report that the Lake Manchester event has been cancelled by the organisers. The next WICEN event is the Mt Glorious Trail on November 8. There was plenty to talk about in general business, so members are urged to check their emails for the minutes. The next contest is the Remembrance Day contest on August 15 – At July's meeting Di VK4DI explained it was a good opportunity for all clubs to engage in a social activity and play radio. The club now has a new online dashboard, providing one central location for viewing the status of our digitally linked repeaters. The dashboard includes access to information for the club's DMR, P25, D-STAR, YSF and newer AllStarLink repeaters. Greg VK4GJW has started yet another Foundation course with six candidates in what is a busy year of training for the club's training officer. And two new members were welcomed last month – Matilda Walker and Craig Burnett. Hi from the Darling Downs Radio Club for week beginning Sunday 9 August, and lots of stuff happening this week. I'm John VK4JPM Club Secretary. The AGM was wonderful; we easily made quorum and had lots of people attending remotely. Good on you! The important motions were carried unanimously after vigorous discussion. Our new rules are on the website for you to check, and all the reporting has been submitted to Fair Trading. So now we wait for a bit. Tomorrow night is the club's monthly meeting, and lots of stuff happening. Firstly, we're encouraging a bit more social stuff so come along for the natter and we'll be providing tea, coffee and tim-tams.. and maybe a bit more. We had cheese and bikkies at the AGM, and that went pretty well. The meeting detail is on the website right now at ddrci.org.au, but here's a taste of what we're doing: with the updated repeater and controller now in service, come and see some of the backup hardware and learn what it takes to make a repeater work. there will be a bit of experimenting and guidance for IRLP and Echolink so that you can see how that works if you've got something interesting - either old or new - bring it along for show-and-tell there will be further update on how we're doing with the clubhouse project and * we have a massive amount of gear for sale on-site, and it's a good chance to come and peruse before the good stuff goes. Well, it's all good stuff, but that item you really want - the reverse-threaded low-impedance high-current medium-voltage twelve-pin Z-FET might be snaffled up by the time you get back. Don't say we didn't warn you. The WIA has offered a $50 subsidy for club members to join the WIA or renew your subscription. If you're under the pump financially, or maybe retired and on a tight budget, please drop us a line. Don't be bashful: your WIA membership allows the club to get a good rate on insurance, which is massively important to the club. Application is through the club, not to the WIA directly. If you'd like to follow up, send a note to secretary@ddrci.org.au. And speaking of membership, if you haven't renewed your club membership now would be a good time. The AGM kept the rates at the same level for the coming year, so we're still one of the best-value clubs in Australia. Go to the website and click the big red join/renew button to make things happen.

CQ CQ this is VK4KSS Victor Kilo Four Kilo Sierra Sierra calling CQ and standing by, Over. On Thursday the 30th of July, The Kairi State School Radio Club, Using the callsign VK4KSS, had an on-air practical session as part of their ham radio studies for their grade 5 and 6 enrichment class. Under the guidance of Stu VK4SDD the students made contact with many stations across VK4 on 40 Metres under trying conditions. This time on air aids them in achieving a foundation licence and is good practice for the CQ Worldwide SSB Contest coming up in October. This has been Ben VK4 Yankee Tango for the Tablelands Radio and Electronics Club. Proud Supporters of the Kairi State School Radio Club. Hi there: it's Sunday 2 August; the moon is half gone; our club's AGM has happened, and a loud buzzing noise appeared from the nation's mobile phones last Monday. I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club and this is QNEWS from the club for this week. The Club's repeater - VK4RDD at Preston - is getting a further makeover.Work on blueprinting the audio has resulted in a massive improvement of sound quality. We're now working on the hamsters that power the Controller, which is on the bench getting a thorough refresh. We've been talking to the manufacturer and we hope to have a few bugs ironed out by next weekend. Meanwhile if you do come up and want information, one of us will be happy to give you the time or temperature, with or without DTMF tones. On the fundraising front, we have advance notice that our entry in the great Bunnings Raffle was successful, and the club is scheduled to cook snags on 19 December. Write down that date: 19 December, and let us know if you're available. What did you think of the Ausalert test? Do you have one of those phones that are non-mainstream? Apparently if your phone runs Graphene OS, the message would have been a "presidential alert", and that text can't be changed at the moment. More importantly, the test showed that 94% of towers broadcast the alert, which means that 6% didn't broadcast it at all. In a real disaster, you would want to be listening to your local community radio station or ham radio repeater as well. We definitely have a role to play in emergency communications. The HamChallenge.org people updated the website over the weekend and we now have challenges through to week 43. The one we missed last week is fascinating, and you can still have a go: it's "Make a QSO using Greyline Propagation". This is literally the twilight zone of HF, where just before sunrise or just after sunset mystical and wonderful things can happen to the bands. I've popped an interesting link in the text edition of this bulletin, which you can download from the WIA or find on our website at ddrci.org.au. Also on our website at ddrci.org.au you'll find details of the next club meeting on Monday 10th of August, news from the AGM about your newly elected committee, and a reminder that memberships are still due and you can renew very quickly online using the big red button. That's it for this week. If you have news or other info that you'd like to get to Darling Downs Radio Club members, drop a line to secretary@ddrci.org.au, I'm John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club. 73 until next week

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We sat down with Kyle Kniffen, Managing Director, Global Head of Alternatives, Third Party Wealth at Goldman Sachs. We were live from Berlin, which becomes the “capital of private capital” in June as private equity industry leaders make the annual pilgrimage to the city for one of the marquee private equity conferences, SuperReturn Berlin.With Prosek Partners and former Bloomberg TV journalist Deirdre Bolton as my producer, along with her team, we took over a Tiny Space cabin to hold big conversations with some of the industry's leading alternative asset managers.A little over two years ago, I wrote on AGM about how, at $456B in AUM in alternatives, Goldman Sachs was a “sleeping giant” in private markets. In reality, Goldman is anything but a sleeping giant in private markets, having started its private equity business in 1984 and earning the distinction of being a top-5 alternatives manager by AUM across both traditional and alternative asset managers.Today, Goldman has grown its alternatives business to over $625B in AUM.The firm has expanded its platform with the acquisition of Industry Ventures and a partnership with T. Rowe Price to deliver public and private markets solutions to the wealth channel, and, most recently, the creation of its Alternative Investment Platform to provide HNW clients with direct access to private companies.The evolution of Goldman's Alternatives business reflects a thoughtful, measured approach to understanding the needs of wealth channel investors and finding the utility and purpose of strategy, product, and product structure.That was much of the focus of the conversation Kyle and I had in Berlin. We discussed the objective and utility of private markets in a portfolio. We covered:The growth of evergreen funds.Why evergreens are the product structure of choice.Why are evergreens also appealing to institutional allocators, insurance companies, and UHNW investors?How GPs and LPs are approaching LP composition to evergreen vehicles.The next wave of product innovation.The build, buy, partner framework Why Goldman is so excited about the GeoWealth partnership and what the future of model portfolios look like.What is not known but should be known about the Goldman Alternatives franchise.BioKyle Kniffen is a managing director in the Client Solutions Group within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. He serves as global head of Alternatives for Third Party Wealth (TPW), overseeing client strategy for the firm's TPW clients globally, delivering the power of the Alternatives investing platform to a broad set of individual investors through our partnerships with financial intermediary clients and their advisors, including Private Banks, Broker-Dealers, RIAs and other distribution platforms. Kyle partners closely with leadership across our Alternatives franchise to develop products that meet our clients' evolving needs. He is also co-chair of the AWM Global Distribution Working Group.Prior to this role, Kyle was in Alternative Capital Markets (ACM), serving as head of ACM for Goldman Sachs Ayco and leading coverage for One Goldman Sachs financial sponsors globally. He joined Goldman Sachs in 2018 as a vice president in ACM and was named managing director in 2021.Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Kyle led a variety of distribution and product management teams for Bank of America's Alternative Investment Group within their Global Wealth and Investment Management division.Kyle is a board member for the Institute of Portfolio Alternatives (IPA), and a member of The Economic Club of New York. Kyle earned a BA from Gettysburg College.Thanks, Kyle, for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion about private markets and serving the wealth channel.Show Notes00:00 AGM Live from SuperReturn Berlin00:22 Meet Kyle Kniffin01:10 Wealth Meets Private Markets01:37 Big Pools Little Allocation02:24 Alt Strategies Explosion03:04 Lessons from Hedge Funds03:34 Start with Client Goals03:53 Risk Liquidity Tradeoffs04:10 Portfolio Utility First04:25 Holistic Private Markets04:44 Fit and Terms Matter05:07 Setting Expectations05:32 Product Innovation Shift05:52 Evergreens and Flexibility06:10 Monthly Access and Tactics06:39 Evergreen Growth Rates06:45 Education and Dispersion07:15 Why Evergreens Exist07:41 Diversification Lower Minimums08:04 Operational Simplicity08:21 Evergreen Nuance Phase One08:47 Goldman in Third Party Wealth09:26 Institutions Buying Evergreens10:31 LP Mix and Liquidity Caps11:36 Institutionalizing Wealth Platforms13:29 Goldman Platform Advantage14:46 Feeding the Evergreen Engine15:13 GeoWealth and Model Portfolios15:45 T Rowe Price Collaboration16:12 Build vs Buy Partner Balance16:42 Industry Ventures Acquisition17:33 Goldman Alts Heritage18:35 Pioneering GP Stakes19:45 Secondaries Since 199820:12 Apex of Private Markets21:08 Will Secondaries Be Core21:48 Max Flexibility for Wealth22:42 Customization vs Scale23:16 Flagships Then Bespoke23:49 Lessons from Private Wealth25:10 Broader Menu of Privates25:34 Closing Thoughts 

Join Emile Donovan for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Guyon Espiner, Holly Bennett and Tracey Martin. They discuss the latest with rising star Opportunity, including National's supposed plan to rule out working with them. Then, the Greens came out swinging at their AGM, calling for a moratorium on new consents for AI data centres. And the story that mystified a nation: an arrest of a man in Russia, accused of spying for New Zealand.

Send us Fan MailYour boat can have plenty of motor and still feel slow, unstable, and hard to drive and the culprit is often the water, not the horsepower. We pull up Tim Scott's Facebook clips and walk through what we're seeing behind the transom: how water leaves the hull, when a jack plate starts dragging, and why “clean water to the prop” is the difference between a boat that fights you and a boat that runs like it's on rails. We dig into H22 and HB22 jack plate design, transom angle, and trim range, using real examples from duck boats and bass boats. If the bottom of the jack plate interferes with the flow, it creates turbulence, adds air to the water, and spikes prop slip. That leads to over-trimming, RPM loss, and that sketchy feeling when the boat hits chop or starts walking. We also talk through why the TikTok tilt looks dramatic but can be inefficient, loud, and abusive on the hull when you're forcing lift instead of earning it with balance and clean release. From there we get practical: setback as leverage, four-stroke weight realities, counterweight limits, and why swapping AGM batteries for lithium batteries can help you shift the balance point and improve holeshot and midrange. We call out common hidden drags like power pole and anchor brackets sitting too low, and we explain what a tight, low rooster tail says about bite and efficiency. If you want more speed and a safer, easier drive, listen through, then subscribe, share this with a buddy who's chasing setup issues, and leave us a review.

#celticfc #celticsoul #podcastGlasgow Journalist Michael Pringle joins More than 90 Minutes Editor, Andrew Milne for their weekly chat about all things Celtic.The Bhoys look ahead to the Celtic v Middlesborough game. 9000 visiting away fans are expected but there are questions over how many Celtic fans will turn up as frustration grows with the lack of activity in the transfer window with Flag Day and a Champions League qualifier only around the corner with some decent teams waiting. They also chat about the pre-season games in Dublin and Faro and the two players who have signed Duran and the Ox who looks like he enjoyed his summer off the pitch. Celtic CEO Michael Nicholson met along with Brian Wilson and Martin O'Neill with members of the AICSC recently at their AGM and did not cover himself in glory with his answer to why we have not signed players blaming others for his failings. The situation with Saracchi sums up those failings. Music is always up for discussion and this weeks Michael chats about his visit to Doof in the Park dance event hosted by Hannah Lang. Michael's mate DJ & Producer David Forbes was on the bill which leads the bhoys to DJ tales from London and Ibiza where so many young DJ's cut their teeth. The lads look back at the World Cup semi-final and preview the final from the comfort of their armchairs. Memory lane takes Michael to London for a game v Arsenal in Highbury when Police only expected a couple of thousand Celtic fans but 14,000 fans turned up for a testimonial with half of the support only getting in at half time.

A listener asked about power systems, so Jimmy and Tyler break down every option: dual battery AGM, single and dual lithium, power stations, and the hybrid setups that combine them. Covers why lead acid batteries don’t belong in an off-road vehicle, why AGM never delivers its full rated capacity, why lithium gets you roughly double the usable power in the same size battery, and where AGM still wins (cold weather, sustained winching). Plus a breakdown of power station tech, and a $5,000 RedArc system that converts between a vehicle dual-battery setup and a portable power station, and a cautionary tale about frying a 40-amp alternator at a Jeepers Jamboree airdown.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We were live from AGM's RIA Field Trip at Brookfield's New York office at Brookfield Place with Oaktree Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager Danielle Poli to unpack why private credit is at a crossroads and why dispersion is growing. Danielle has a unique perch to form a developed view on the current state of private credit. She sits at the intersection of public and private credit, providing her with perspectives on where opportunities and risks lie across the liquidity spectrum. Danielle is a founding member of Oaktree's Global Credit strategy and its Investment Committee, which was established in 2017. She's been an important contributor to its growth into a scaled multi-asset credit platform. She previously led Oaktree's product specialist group, which she helped build into a global team supporting credit, private equity, and real estate. She joined Oaktree in 201 and has nearly two decades of experience in private markets. She has been named to Barron's list of the 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance. Danielle and I had a fascinating conversation about the current state of private credit, where cracks might be emerging and where to find pockets of opportunity amid the dislocations. We covered:Why is boring beautiful in private credit?Where are we in the credit cycle?Why it's important to have a contrarian mindset.Where, why, and how dispersion is rising in credit.How to underwrite software investments post-AI. Why asset-backed finance can be a diversifier.Why now could be the time to prepare for opportunistic and rescue lending opportunities, as maturities are fast approaching.How to balance public and private credit investing. Thanks, Danielle, for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion about private credit. Show Notes00:00 Live Podcast Intro00:06 Meet Danielle Poli00:17 Contrarian Mindset 00:34 Our Sponsor, Ultimus Fund Solutions01:32 Where Private Credit Stands Today02:22 Bifurcation and ABF Rise02:59 Liquid vs Private Convergence03:36 Danielle's Career Background04:13 Why Liquidity Matters04:39 Dislocation Advantages05:10 Risk Return Tradeoffs05:18 Liquidity Premium Compression05:41 Covenants and Complexity06:01 Not All Private Credit is Equal06:34 Corporate vs Asset-Backed07:05 Why ABF Diversifies07:30 How Allocators Fund ABF07:49 Credit Taking Share from Equities08:49 Tough Direct Lending Vintages09:22 Rates Shock and Leverage09:43 AI Disrupts Software Credit10:41 Oaktree Software Underweight12:01 Underwriting Software Post AI12:57 Inside the Investment Committee13:57 Selling Rallies and Positioning31:30 Closing ThoughtsA Word from Our Sponsor, UltimusThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus, the full-service fund administrator and transfer agent powering asset managers in private and public markets.

You can have great content, a great product, and even a great offer, but if your funnel is broken, people are going to drop off before they ever become customers.In this video, I break down what a funnel actually is, why most funnels fail, and how to identify the exact step that's costing you sales.Every step matters. From the ad, to the landing page, to the follow-up, to the thank you page… small improvements can completely change your results.Funnels are not “set it and forget it.” They are systems that need constant attention, testing, and improvement.When you understand the numbers and fix the weak points, everything starts to grow.#salesfunnels #digitalmarketing #entrepreneurship #businessgrowth #marketingstrategy #leadgeneration #funnel #marketing #businessgrowth #sales ---------------About Manuel Suarez:Manuel Suarez, known as the Marketing Ninja and a best-selling author of Marketing Magic, leads Attention Grabbing Media (AGM), a marketing agency honored three times on the Inc 5000 list.

Most people want results… but they don't want the process.They post a few videos, don't see results, and stop. Then they think others just got lucky. That's not how it works.In this video, I break down what it really takes to go from zero attention to real momentum, what happens behind the scenes, and what it takes to stay in the game long enough to win.It's not fast. It's not pretty. It's not linear. It starts small… and then it compounds.The difference is simple: consistency.Keep showing up, improve your message, and stay committed.This is not about going viral. It's about building something that lasts.#contentcreation #entrepreneurship #socialmediagrowth #digitalmarketing #consistency #businessgrowth #contenttips #socialmediamarketing ---------------About Manuel Suarez:Manuel Suarez, known as the Marketing Ninja and a best-selling author of Marketing Magic, leads Attention Grabbing Media (AGM), a marketing agency honored three times on the Inc 5000 list.

Tonight on The Wednesday Week, we take a deep dive into the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust AGM and the hugely encouraging words from new CEO David Bruce as a new era begins at Hillsborough.We discuss Bruce's vision for the club, the state Sheffield Wednesday was left in behind the scenes, recruitment plans, fan culture, infrastructure issues and what supporters can realistically expect from the 2026/27 season under David Storch's ownership.We also tackle the biggest talking point to emerge from the AGM — the proposal for a Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust representative to join the club's board. Is it a progressive step forward for fan representation in football, or does it risk compromising supporter independence?Join Dan Fudge, Ash, Stevie and Charlie live as they analyse one of the most important weeks for Sheffield Wednesday in recent memory.#SWFC #SheffieldWednesday #EFL #LeagueOne #WAWAW Hosted on Acast.

The problem is NOT your product.Most businesses think they're not getting sales because of what they sell, but that's not it. The real issue is how the process is built and how the message is being communicated.Marketing is about perception. If people don't clearly understand what you're offering, what problem it solves, or what to do next, they won't buy. Not because they don't want it, but because the path isn't clear.In this video, I break down a real example of how a campaign improved by changing the message, simplifying the offer, and making the next step obvious. No complicated strategies. Just clarity.Here's the truth: if people can't find the price, don't know where to click, or have to work too hard to take action, you're going to lose them every single time.Your job is simple: guide them step by step, remove confusion, and make every action obvious. Because when you do that right, everything changes.#DigitalMarketing #SalesStrategy #Entrepreneurship #MarketingTips #BusinessGrowth #Advertising---------------About Manuel Suarez:Manuel Suarez, known as the Marketing Ninja and a best-selling author of Marketing Magic, leads Attention Grabbing Media (AGM), a marketing agency honored three times on the Inc 5000 list.

Most businesses rely on social media to grow, but they don't actually own the audience they're reaching.You can post content, get views, and gain attention. But if you don't have a way to contact those people directly, you're depending on platforms you can't control.That's why lead magnets are so important.A lead magnet is a simple way to turn attention into real contacts, like emails or phone numbers, so you can follow up and build a relationship.Without this, your growth depends on algorithms that change all the time.In this video, I explain what a lead magnet is, simple options that work best, and how you can use AI to create one fast.You don't need anything complicated. A short guide, a checklist, or a simple resource is enough to get people to take action.The goal isn't just to get attention... it's to turn that attention into something you can actually use to grow your business.#LeadGeneration #DigitalMarketing #AIforBusiness #Entrepreneurship #MarketingStrategy #leadmagnets ---------------About Manuel Suarez:Manuel Suarez, known as the Marketing Ninja and a best-selling author of Marketing Magic, leads Attention Grabbing Media (AGM), a marketing agency honored three times on the Inc 5000 list.
