Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay get into the war between em dashes and artificial intelligence. Back in 2024, what started as a developer question became an all-out grammar war, with the use of em dashes becoming a possible indicator that something was written using ChatGPT. In the past week alone, several writers have published their defenses of the em dash and how we shouldn't let ChatGPT ruin our favorite keyboard shortcut. However, the em dash may be a symptom of a bigger issue: have our AI detection skills gotten worse? Or, are we all doomed to be tricked by a hyphen or two? Get more of ICYMI with Slate Plus!

Guests: Rob & Melissa Stephenson — Founders of Flea Market Flipper, full-time eBay resellers and educators Getting Started in Flipping: Rob began flipping nearly 30 years ago, inspired by his parents selling yard sale finds in the newspaper classifieds—long before eBay existed. Melissa joined the business 17 years ago after marrying Rob, initially unsure but quickly realizing the side hustle's earning potential as Rob “always found a way to pay for everything.” What began as a part-time venture became their full-time business in 2016, jumping from ~$42,000/year (part-time) to $133,000 in their first year full-time. Making the Leap to Full-Time: A turning point came when a change in Rob's day job benefits forced them to decide whether to search for another job or go “all in” on flipping. Committed to scaling, they switched from low-value, high-volume items to a high-profit, low-volume model—focusing on big-ticket items with $1,000–$2,000 profit per sale. How They Source and Sell: They look for high-retail-value used goods—commercial appliances, gym equipment, cooktops, and other hard-to-find, high-end items—that are undervalued in local markets but sell quickly on eBay to a national/global audience. Classic finds include a $5,000 parking lot security tower bought at auction and flipped for $25,000, and a $500 bus wash resold for $14,500. They source from Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, local auctions, garage sales, and thrift stores, then leverage eBay (global reach) for sales. Education & Flea Market Flipper: In 2015, Rob & Melissa launched their blog and eventually the Flipper University course to teach others their system. Their community has grown to over 1,500 students; many members have built part-time or even full-time incomes through flipping. Top Advice for Beginners: Start by flipping unused items around your house to get a feel for platforms and shipping without any risk. Build 50+ positive feedbacks on eBay with smaller items before jumping into high-ticket sales. The “secret weapon”: Learn to fix/repair items with YouTube or local help—often a simple repair makes an item much more valuable. “The money is made in the buy”—always look for great deals, not just selling skills. Industry & Business Model Insights: COVID and Gary Vee's embrace of flipping brought a surge in public interest, but the space is much more competitive and “noisier” now. Rob & Melissa focus on high-touch, high-value flipping to keep their business defensible against both AI/digital disruption and cheaper/lower-value competitors. Flipping teaches valuable life skills: negotiation, logistics, shipping, sales, research, and business management. Connect with Rob & Melissa: https://fleamarketflipper.com/
Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for tips on making better decisions? In this episode of the Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux explores the latest in AI and marketing. He demonstrates the AI agent "Comet" for workflow automation, discusses tracking cryptocurrency investments, and reflects on business decision-making inspired by Jeff Bezos' “two-way door” concept. Tyson talks about the AI agent, Comet that can be used for workflow automation. It is a great tool that helps you with your tasks and can act as a thinking partner. A great aspect of this tool is that it can build you a workflow which Tyson provides a demonstration for. You can ask Comet to create things for you, such as providing you a rundown of your monthly calendar. Tyson also speaks to the limitations of the platform, which can cause frustration. Tyson shares Amazon's “two way door” concept for making fast decisions. The concept is that if you walk through a door and don't like what you see, you can walk out. If something works for you, that is great. But, if something doesn't, you can stop doing it. As it relates to law firms, this is an important concept. If you are using a tool or process in your firm that does not work, it is completely fine to stop using it and find a better option.Listen in to learn more!1:16 Discussion about the Comet AI browser agent6:34 Observations on Comet's speed and limitations15:24 Amazon's “two way door” concept for fast, reversible decisions16:20 The two way door concept and its relevance to his firm's decision-makingTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Abbie shares her personal journey—from falling in love with music inspired by artists like Joni Mitchell and Taylor Swift, to navigating the challenges of the industry. She opens up about her songwriting process, the influence of her family and life experiences, and how technology is transforming the way we create music. Most importantly, Abbie emphasizes the importance of staying true to yourself and embracing your individuality. Don't miss her latest track, "Live from Onie's House," available on Spotify. Join us as we chat about music and creativity on this episode of Recording Studio Rockstars. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Abbie Griffin, an engineer, singer, guitarist, and bassist, and a student of Recording Arts and Production at Montclair State University in NJ, where she studies audio engineering, post-production, and live event audio. At just 22 years old, she's already been performing for nearly two decades. She loves making music and recently released her first record, Live from Onie's House, inspired by Joni Mitchell. To quote her greatest inspiration—her musical grandmother—Abbie is “the saddest yet happiest songbird you'll ever meet, with that smile.” I met Abbie at NAMM when she came to a meetup for Recording Studio Rockstars. The first thing she said to me was that she was a fan of the podcast—and so was her dad! It's so cool to hear how the podcast is reaching a younger audience and inspiring those just starting out in their music and audio careers. Today, we're going to find out what it's like to be a young student of recording aspiring to be a musician and songwriter.

Mark Flickinger shares his journey from engineering and building small businesses to working in private market investing at BIP Capital, where he helps both entrepreneurs and high-net-worth investors achieve their goals. He explains that private markets have grown as many high-quality companies remain private longer, creating opportunities for alpha that are less available in public markets, especially as IPO thresholds have risen. Flickinger highlights trends in alternatives, noting that while AI attracts attention, compelling private businesses can now be accessed at lower entry costs. We discuss... Mark Flickinger combines his engineering background with investment expertise to support both business owners and high-net-worth investors. Private markets have grown in importance as alternatives, moving beyond hedge funds to include a wide range of private companies. Value creation that once happened in small-cap public stocks is now largely occurring in private companies. Only one out of ten U.S.-based companies with $100 million or more in revenue is public, leaving most growth in private markets. Entrepreneurs increasingly stay private due to regulatory burdens and the ability to grow without going public. Business development companies (BDCs) were created to simplify private market investing for U.S.-based companies and investors. Entrepreneurs are increasingly using a hybrid approach of equity and debt to raise capital without overly diluting ownership. Taking on a partner or investor is worthwhile if they bring expertise and add significant value to the business. Debt can be advantageous if the business grows faster than the interest cost, making leverage an effective tool. Capital should be taken strategically to overcome growth hurdles, not just for the sake of raising funds. Many business owners excel in specific phases of growth and benefit from focusing on their strengths rather than the CEO role. The private credit market is likely to expand further, while banks continue to reduce direct lending to businesses. A robust AI plan is now a key factor in evaluating a company's long-term potential, beyond just naming conventions.

We step into the world of independent film with the release of Director's Cut, a project close to home, reflecting the passion, risks, and creative struggles that define the industry. Along the way, we explore the evolving landscape of streaming, AI, and the art of telling stories that stand out in an oversaturated market. One of the highlights of this milestone episode is our conversation with the multi-talented Louie Lombardi. Known for his memorable roles on screen, Louie brings equal passion to his latest venture: Ava Lou's pizza truck, which he runs with his daughter Ava. With humor and heart, he shares the lessons of family entrepreneurship — from teaching financial savvy across generations to navigating the cultural quirks of language, tradition, and taste. In a twist that bridges past and present, we also reveal new developments surrounding the Italian American Civil Rights League, adding another layer of cultural and historical significance to this episode. No celebration would be complete without reflecting on the craft of filmmaking itself. We discuss the collaborative spirit required to bring independent visions to life, the strategies behind modern marketing, and personal stories from our own creative journeys.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Today, we're breaking down the MIT study claiming 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing - and why this headline is misleading the entire market. The report, based on just 52 interviews and 150 survey responses, has been cited as a reason for AI stock crashes, but the methodology is deeply flawed and the findings are being wildly misinterpreted. What the study actually reveals is that while individual employees are getting massive value from AI tools (90% use LLMs regularly vs only 40% of companies buying subscriptions), organizations are struggling with implementation - not because the technology doesn't work, but because of leadership buy-in, poor change management, and organizational dysfunction.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Google's Pixel 10 delivers the AI phone features Apple promised but never shipped. While Apple continues to struggle with delayed and underwhelming AI rollouts, Google has just launched its most AI-integrated smartphone yet, featuring Magic Q (an agentic assistant that searches through your apps), visual overlays for live camera AI queries, tone-detecting Gemini Live, and advanced photo editing capabilities. The device runs on Google's new Tensor G5 chip with a 60% more powerful AI core, allowing all features to run on-device, making this a complete overhaul of their flagship to be truly AI-first. This launch represents Google's aggressive move to capture the mobile AI market while Apple falls further behind in the smartphone AI race.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Guest: Scott Leese — Fractional CRO, 12 unicorns, 13 exits, six-time sales leader, five-time founder, three-time author, major LinkedIn community builder, newsletter publisher, and creator of multiple businesses. Early Days & First Hustles Grew up in a non-entrepreneurial household; sold baseball cards as a kid, had entrepreneurial “side hustles” in college. Spent much of his 20s battling and recovering from a life-threatening illness. Four years hospitalized, nine surgeries, struggled with painkiller addiction, read hundreds of books — which planted the seeds for future business curiosity. How He Got Into Sales & Startups First tech sales job at 27, encouraged by a friend who noticed Scott's resilience, competitiveness, and leadership. Sales led to VP/CRO roles at high-growth startups, where Scott built and scaled revenue teams, eventually leading to multiple exits and unicorn valuations. Lessons on Sales as a Career Sales is a pure meritocracy: “If you produce, you get paid. If you don't, you're cut — just like athletics.” Outproducing others shouldn't just lead to the same pay — sales rewards top performers more than most fields. Why Just Being a High-Paid Employee Isn't Enough Even top execs at successful startups rarely see transformational wealth (example: after a $500M+ exit, the founder gets $20M+, a C-suite leader gets $500K). True wealth comes from moving from “employed” to “owner” — writing books, building communities, conferences, consulting, investing in real estate, launching multiple income streams. The Coming Disruption & Opportunity from AI The rise of AI means most entry-level sales/tech/white-collar jobs will disappear or change radically. The era of corporate security is ending; individuals must think entrepreneurially, diversify income, own their brand, and quickly adapt. Future sales: Only high-level, complex, relationship-driven roles will survive; all “boiler room”/transactional sales will be automated or handled by agents. As commerce increasingly digitizes, the most acute personal/professional needs will be (1) “inner work” (purpose, mental/spiritual health) and (2) experiences/community. Optimism & The New Wave Exponential growth in personalized medicine & health/longevity businesses (AI-powered diagnostics, genetic-driven treatment, biohacking). Massive new opportunities for anything that promotes genuine human connection or personal growth (retreats, mastermind events, experiential learning, spiritual/purpose-driven work). In an automated world, experiences and community will be more valuable (and defensible) than ever. Scott's Personal Projects & Where to Connect https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottleese/

The global pet industry has long been riddled with problems. From low-welfare breeding practices to online scams, the darker side of pet rehoming often goes unchecked. But what if there was a way to combine animal protection with a sustainable, profitable business model? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Axel Lagercrantz, co-founder and CEO of Pet Media Group, the company behind platforms like Pets4Homes in the UK and Lancaster Puppies in the US. Axel shares the story of how two friends with backgrounds in finance and tech came together to rethink what ethical pet ownership and commerce should look like. Since 2018, PMG has been working to remove anonymity and reduce fraud across pet marketplaces by embedding ethical standards directly into their platform's infrastructure. We explore how PMG uses custom-built AI to scan tens of thousands of images every day for signs of mistreatment, as well as to flag suspicious documentation and chat messages. Axel explains why ID verification, device fingerprinting, and real-time fraud detection are essential to maintaining user trust, especially in a high-emotion, high-value market like pets. He also talks through the company's expansion model, which focuses on acquiring local leaders and embedding PMG's standards from the ground up. With operations now spanning six countries and a 50 percent EBITDA margin, PMG's approach proves that protecting animals and scaling a business are not mutually exclusive goals. What stands out most is Axel's clarity of purpose. PMG isn't trying to digitize pet sales for convenience alone. The mission is to create a global infrastructure that prioritizes the welfare of animals and builds lasting trust between buyers and responsible breeders. If you care about technology that delivers real-world impact, this conversation will change how you think about one of the most overlooked parts of the digital economy.
