Key Topics Covered The Quality vs. Accessibility Debate Pro Church Tools' Position: High-quality livestreams require dedicated mixing boards and professional expertise that most churches lack Matt & Jake's Pushback: 85-95% quality is achievable with proper fundamentals and doesn't require professional-level resources The Real Issue: Sometimes poor livestream quality stems from poor source material (musicianship, room acoustics) The Hard Truth About Audio Quality Matt's Honest Take: "Your livestream mix is not good because your musicians are not good" The Growth Mindset: Every great musician started as a not-so-great musician Foundation First: Master musicianship, room acoustics, and basic mixing before investing in expensive gear Who's Actually Watching Your Stream? Key Statistic: 35% of online church attenders are retirement age (12 points above average) Implications for Ministry: Need to consider accessibility, content relevance, and viewing habits Snowbird Effect: Many older viewers are traveling members staying connected to home church The Purpose Question What are we streaming for? Marketing tool for church visitors Connection for homebound members Seasonal/traveling member engagement Accessibility for those who can't attend in person Production Philosophy Start with fundamentals: Musicianship, room acoustics, basic mixing skills, proper lighting Avoid the gear trap: Don't buy expensive equipment without mastering the basics Quality target: Aim for "good enough" that serves your actual audience, not "perfect" that impresses other tech people Notable Quotes Jake: "You can compress a jackhammer, but it's still going to sound like a jackhammer." Matt: "If you're the sound guy trying to get an online mix that sounds good from a band that doesn't sound good in house, then good luck." Jake: "There's something magical that happens when you're in person in the room at worship every Sunday." Matt: "The top four pages on church websites are always: homepage, about us, staff, and livestream." Action Items for Churches Audit your fundamentals before investing in new gear Understand your actual livestream audience (hint: it might be older than you think) Optimize for accessibility - text size, audio levels, clear announcements Invest in musical training for your team Remember the goal: Complement, don't compete with, in-person worship Tools & Resources Mentioned Waves Real Tune plugin for pitch correction Importance of proper room acoustics Front-of-house mixing consoles for dual-purpose mixing Website analytics for understanding visitor behavior Discussion Questions Who is your church's livestream actually serving? Are you starting with the right foundational skills? How do you balance quality aspirations with realistic resource constraints? What role should livestreaming play in your overall ministry strategy? Related Topics for Future Episodes Room acoustics basics for churches Building a volunteer tech team Church website optimization Generational differences in worship preferences Cost-effective lighting solutions for churches This episode was a reaction to Pro Church Tools' video about online church. While we respectfully disagree on some technical points, we appreciate Brady and Alex for raising these important strategic questions about church technology.

In Day 3 of the Shift with CJ podcast, this episode helps you understand what inflammation really is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, how it impacts fat loss and hormones, and what you can start doing today to heal from the inside out.What You'll Learn:What Inflammation Actually Is CJ uses simple metaphors to explain how acute inflammation is a healing signal from the body (like when you stub your toe), while chronic inflammation is like an unwanted houseguest who refuses to leave—and slowly wrecks the place. Chronic inflammation messes with hunger hormones like insulin and leptin, making fat loss harder and hunger constant.Top Causes of InflammationProcessed seed oils (canola, sunflower, peanut)Sugar and its hidden forms (e.g., high fructose corn syrup)Refined carbs (pastries, bread, sugary snacks)AlcoholProcessed meats (bacon, sausages)CJ's Approved Cooking Fats For cooking, switch to stable fats like coconut oil, ghee, or butter. When eating out, ask for food cooked in olive oil or ghee instead of vegetable oils.Foods That Heal Inflammation and Burn Fat Nature has given us plenty of inflammation-fighting, fat-burning foods:Avocados: rich in healthy fats that support metabolismBerries: full of antioxidants that stabilize blood sugarApples & pears: fiber-rich for satietyGrapefruit: helps reduce appetite via GLP-1Sweet potatoes: steady your blood sugarCruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower): loaded with nutrientsChili peppers: boost metabolismWild-caught salmon & fatty fish: loaded with omega-3sApple cider vinegar: improves insulin sensitivityMatcha and green tea: rich in antioxidantsGreek yogurt (if tolerated): supports gut healthNuts like pistachios and macadamias: nutrient-dense, but best kept to 10 per servingKey Takeaways:Inflammation is a signal, not the enemy. Acute inflammation heals. Chronic inflammation harms.What you eat matters. Cooking oils, added sugars, and processed foods are major inflammation triggers.Hormones are involved. Chronic inflammation distorts hunger and fullness signals, making it harder to lose weight.Nature has answers. Whole foods with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats can dramatically reduce inflammation.Bloating is a symptom. If you feel gassy, heavy, or inflamed, your gut and metabolism are asking for a reset.5 Things to Start Doing Today:Audit your pantry. Remove seed oils, processed meats, and sugary snacks. Replace them with clean alternatives.Switch your cooking oils. Use ghee, butter, or coconut oil at home and ask restaurants to avoid vegetable oils.Add inflammation-fighting foods to your meals. Aim for at least 3 from CJ's list each day (e.g., berries, salmon, cruciferous veggies).Start your meals with a shot of apple cider vinegar and lemon. Do it 20–30 minutes before eating to stabilize blood sugar.Track what you eat for a few days. Reflect on how foods make you feel—bloating, mood, energy—and start connecting the dots.Final Thought: Inflammation isn't the enemy—it's a signal that your body needs support. Start listening to it, nourishing it, and healing it one choice at a time

Here's the truth most people don't want to hear: the secret to balanced hormones isn't in a miracle pill or trendy hack. It's in the boring basics. As a women's health and hormone expert, I want to make sure you're doing these three simple things consistently. Prioritize Protein & Real Food If you're skipping meals, cutting carbs, or living off coffee and snacks, your hormones are running on empty. Your body needs steady fuel to support hormonal and metabolic functions. Aim for protein with every meal Avoid processed and sugary foods Eat consistently throughout the day I don't overthink it—sometimes I prep meals myself, and sometimes I grab healthy options from a local meal service. And I always have a backup in the fridge or freezer, because life happens. My kids have definitely eaten the lunch I was planning to save more times than I can count.  Get Serious About Sleep Sleep is a hormonal reset button. If you are up late scrolling or surrounded by bright lights, your body struggles to regulate essential hormones like cortisol and melatonin. Wind down with dim lighting Read a real book (not a screen) Only use sleep support after you've established a good routine Move (But Keep It Gentle) Forget “go hard or go home.” Your nervous system doesn't always want a 90-minute bootcamp. When I'm feeling fatigued or overwhelmed, I focus on: A 10–15 minute walk Stretching or restorative yoga Listening to my body and resting when I need it Movement isn't punishment—it's a privilege.  The final layer to these basics:  Seed Cycling A natural way to align with your cycle using food. → Download My Free Seed Cycling Guide Targeted Tinctures Like Estro Balance, Progesterone Balance, Adrenal Balance, and Sleep Support.

In this engaging episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee shares insightful parallels between a recent round of golf with his friends and various life and career strategies. As he reflects on playing alongside more talented golfers, Baylor emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with individuals who inspire growth and push personal boundaries. Exploring themes of patience and timing, Baylor reminds listeners that success isn't always about being first; sometimes the greatest opportunities come from waiting for the right moment. Using his golf outing to highlight the concept of collaborative competition, Baylor illustrates how friendly rivalry and mutual support can drive a team toward collective success. He discusses the value of asking specific questions when seeking to improve skills, advocating for a learning mindset. Additionally, Baylor covers the theme of expansion and not playing small, stressing the importance of pursuing ambitious goals and seeking environments that encourage one to unleash their full potential. Key Takeaways: Surrounding yourself with skilled individuals challenges you to improve and reevaluate your approach to both personal and professional endeavors. Success isn't always about being first; sometimes patience can place you in advantageous positions. A collaborative, competitive environment fosters mutual growth, inspiring each team member to perform at their best while supporting one another. Asking specific, insightful questions is crucial when learning from those more experienced in order to grow and succeed. Aim to associate with individuals who encourage you to pursue ambitious goals instead of playing small. Notable Quotes: "The best way to build a team... is to have a collaborative, competitive mentality." "Be sure that you're surrounding yourself... with people who individually want to do great, but collaboratively want to do even better." "The fastest way to grow is to be around, immersed with somebody that's doing exactly what you want to do and doing it at a high level." "Surround yourself with people that don't encourage you to play small." "There's no gold medals in the losers bracket, right?"

This one's a masterclass in modern entrepreneurship. Key TakeawaysBuild audiences first, products second.

“ It's a core tenant of who we are, and it's called put people first. We take care of our people.” Derek De Salvia, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Hilton Grand Vacations, joins Dan today to dive into the world of vacation ownership. The discussion covers the personal and professional aspects of hospitality, the evolution and benefits of the vacation ownership model, and how Hilton Grand Vacations differentiates itself in the industry, especially as one of Newsweek's Top Most Loved Workplaces. Derek shares insights into customer education, the impact of multi-generational ownership, the importance of team member engagement, and the adaptability of vacation ownership through economic cycles and evolving customer needs. The episode concludes with advice for potential customers and an invitation to experience Hilton Grand Vacations firsthand.Takeaways: Train your team to understand the difference between basic service and true hospitality. Aim for over-delivery on guest expectations.Highlight the importance of creating lasting memories for families, which can be a significant selling point for returning customers and multi-generational travel.Ensure guests are well-informed about how to maximize their memberships or stays through tutorials, seminars, and resources available on member pages.Foster a culture of hospitality among team members. When employees feel valued and cared for, they are more likely to pass on that sentiment to guests.Consider the long-term benefits and memories that owning a timeshare can create for your family across generations, rather than just focusing on the upfront costs and annual fees.Continuously gather and act on feedback from guest surveys and team member inputs to refine services and address any issues promptly.Quote of the Show:“We couldn't talk about hospitality and what that means to people if we didn't share that love and warmth of hospitality to our team members.” - Derek De SalviaLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-desalvia-m-s-5a2b5521/ Website: https://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/ Shout Outs:0:59 - Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/ 3:32 - Hilton https://www.hilton.com/en/ 7:59 - Danny Meyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Meyer 18:21 - Great Wolf Lodge https://www.greatwolf.com/ 18:25 - Blue Green Vacations https://www.bluegreenvacations.com/ 18:27 - Bass Pro https://www.basspro.com/home 

Sit to Stand Test & Surgical Vitality PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this week's PODCAST* Tame the “Brain-on-Fire” ProblemRunaway neuro-inflammation accelerates multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Prioritize lifestyle tactics that cross the blood–brain barrier—sleep, anti-inflammatory diet, and stress control—while watching developments in next-gen brain-penetrant drugs.* Ice Is Medicine: Use Cold Exposure to Re-Route Energy Away from InflammationBrief, controlled cold stress (a 90-second cold shower in the morning, progressing to 3–5 min ice baths or cold plunges 2–3×/week) forces the body to burn calories for heat, starving inflammatory pathways and even improving auto-immune outcomes in animal models. Always clear major cold work with your physician first.* Move Before You Medicate for Depression & AnxietyA meta-analysis of 26 RCTs (>2,500 participants) shows exercise rivals—or beats—pharmacotherapy for mood disorders. Aim for a baseline of 30 min brisk walking or resistance work most days; any movement is better than none, and mixed aerobic + strength routines offer the strongest mental-health bump.* Inflammation in Your 20s Predicts Brainpower in Your 40sAn 18-year cohort study linked consistently high—or even slowly rising—CRP levels with poorer mid-life cognition. Action: get a baseline CRP, track it yearly, and deploy weight control, resistance training, and nutrient-dense, time-restricted eating (“eat less, eat less often”) to keep levels low.* Double-Down on Purpose & Gratitude—They're Biological Anti-InflammatoriesA strong life purpose lowers IL-6 and CRP, while daily gratitude practice calms the amygdala and drops TNF-α. Practical micro-habit: each week thank five people (voice or face-to-face), and block 15 minutes on Sunday to revisit your “why.” Pair with twice-weekly strength training to release anti-inflammatory myokines and boost BDNF for memory.Listen to the full podcast to learn more and please leave your comments below.

Boy I love BIN NIGHT! It's a weekly (or regular at least) opportunity to declutter rubbish from around the house. However your rubbish is removed, whether it's a communal apartment bins, curbside pickup or tip drop off, what a gift it is!! I encourage you to take full advantage of your rubbish removal - walk around your house with a rubbish bag and collect as much rubbish as you can. Aim to full the rubbish bins before each pick up - whatever you can remove from your house is automatic decluttering.And in this episode I explore the idea of having rubbish bins located in many places throughout your house - in your home office, in the bathroom and even in the lounge room if you need. If there are places where rubbish tends to accumulate in your home, pop a rubbish bin in that space and reduce the clutter of displaced rubbish.Listen NextRecycling Holding ZoneJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

This Podcast Is Episode 634, And It's About Financial Red Flags Your Construction Company Can't Afford To Ignore As a construction bookkeeper, I've had a unique vantage point, watching countless projects unfold from the first bid to the final payment. While the hammers and blueprints are the visible signs of progress, it's the numbers behind the scenes that truly tell the story of a company's health. And let me tell you, those numbers often whisper warnings before they start screaming.   Small business owners in the construction industry are incredibly busy. You're juggling bids, managing crews, dealing with permits, and ensuring client satisfaction. It's easy for subtle financial warning signs – what I call "red flags" – to get overlooked until they become critical problems. However, ignoring these signals can lead to severe cash flow issues, stalled growth, and even business failure.   Based on what I've observed, here are five common financial red flags that you absolutely cannot afford to ignore, along with practical steps you can take to address them. Red Flag #1: Constant Cash Flow Crises Despite "Profitable" Projects This is the most puzzling red flag for many owners. You look at your profit and loss statement, and it shows a healthy profit. Yet, your bank account is always running on fumes. You're constantly chasing payments, delaying supplier invoices, or juggling funds to make payroll. Why it's a problem: Profit is a theoretical measure of what you've earned over a period; cash flow is the actual money moving in and out of your business. In construction, where you often incur significant costs upfront (materials, labor for the first phase) and payments come in installments (often with retainage held back), it's entirely possible to be profitable on paper but cash-poor in reality. This constant stress impacts your ability to take on new projects, negotiate better deals, and even pay your team on time, leading to low morale. How to fix it: Implement Robust Progress Billing: Don't wait until a project is 50% or 100% complete. Structure your contracts to allow for regular progress payments tied to specific milestones (e.g., foundation poured, framing complete, rough-ins finished). This ensures a steady stream of cash. Aggressive Accounts Receivable (A/R) Management: Send invoices promptly as soon as milestones are met. Have a polite but firm follow-up process for overdue invoices. Don't be afraid to make phone calls. Negotiate Favorable Payment Terms with Suppliers and Subcontractors: While you want to pay your bills on time, try to secure longer payment terms (e.g., Net 30 or Net 45) from your vendors whenever possible. This helps you collect from your clients before your payments are due. Manage Retainage Proactively: Thoroughly understand the retainage clauses in your contract. Track how much retainage is outstanding for each project and aggressively pursue its release as soon as the contractual conditions are met. This money is yours; get it! Build a Cash Reserve: Even a small percentage of profit set aside each month into a dedicated savings account can create a vital buffer for lean times. Aim for 3-6 months of operating expenses. Red Flag #2: Consistently Inaccurate Project Estimates (Leading to Underbidding) Do you frequently find projects ending up significantly over budget, eating into your expected profit margins, or even becoming a loss? Do you often need to inform clients about additional costs? This points directly to issues with your initial estimating process. Why it's a problem: Inaccurate estimates mean you're consistently underbidding, leaving money on the table, or worse, taking on jobs that will inevitably lose you money. This directly impacts your profitability and, by extension, your cash flow, as you're funding the gap with either the cash from other projects or your capital. It also damages client trust when costs unexpectedly balloon. How to fix it: Implement Detailed Job Costing: This is a non-negotiable requirement. For every project, meticulously track all expenses, including labor hours (with specific tasks), material quantities and costs, subcontractor invoices, equipment rentals, permit fees, and miscellaneous expenses. Learn from Past Projects: Conduct a post-mortem analysis after each project. Compare your actual costs to your estimated costs. Where were the discrepancies? Was it materials? Labor hours? Unexpected site conditions? Use these insights to refine your estimating formulas. Categorize and Standardize: Develop a comprehensive system of cost codes for materials, labor types, and activities to ensure accurate and consistent tracking of costs. This consistency makes it easier to track and compare data across projects. Build in Contingency: Always include a contingency fund (typically 5-15% of the total project cost) in your estimates for unforeseen issues, changes in material prices, or minor scope creep. Use Estimating Software: Even simple estimating software can help streamline the process, ensure all line items are considered, and integrate with your accounting system. Red Flag #3: Uncontrolled Material Waste & Loss Are materials constantly going missing or getting damaged on site, or are you consistently buying more than what was initially estimated? This is a direct drain on your project's profitability and your company's cash. Why it's a problem: Every piece of wasted or lost material is money directly out of your pocket. It means you're paying more than you bid, leading to cost overruns. It can also cause project delays while you wait for replacements. How to fix it: Implement Strict Inventory Control: Secure Storage. Designate secure, organized storage areas on job sites for materials when not in use or overnight. Material Tracking System: For larger projects, consider a simple log or spreadsheet to track materials received and used. Regular Site Cleanliness: A clean, organized job site naturally leads to less waste and makes it easier to spot missing items. Careful Material Handling: Train your crew on proper handling and storage techniques for various materials to minimize damage and ensure optimal safety. Accurate Take-offs: Ensure your initial material take-offs (the process of determining the quantities of materials needed) are precise to avoid over-ordering or multiple trips to the supplier. Return Unused Materials: Establish a process for returning unused, undamaged materials to suppliers for credit, where possible. Red Flag #4: Inefficient Labor Utilization & Unaccounted Time Labor is often the most significant cost for a construction company. Suppose your crews are standing around, waiting for materials, traveling excessively between job sites without proper tracking, or simply not as productive as they could be. In that case, your labor costs are likely to be increasing significantly. Why it's a problem: Every idle hour or misspent minute costs you money. Inefficient labor directly reduces your profit margins and can cause projects to fall behind schedule, leading to client dissatisfaction and potential penalty clauses. Unaccounted time can also lead to compliance issues with wage and hour laws. How to fix it: Accurate Time Tracking: Implement a robust system for tracking employee time. This could include mobile apps with GPS features, biometric time clocks, or even detailed paper timesheets, as long as they are managed in a meticulous manner. Ensure all hours (including travel, breaks, and specific tasks) are accurately recorded. Optimize Scheduling & Workflow: Plan daily tasks meticulously. Ensure materials, equipment, and instructions are ready before the crew arrives. Minimize downtime from waiting or searching for tools. Cross-Training: Train your crew members on various tasks. This provides flexibility and prevents delays if one skilled worker is absent or busy elsewhere. Daily Huddles/Toolbox Talks: Begin each day with a brief meeting to review tasks, identify potential roadblocks, and ensure everyone is aware of their role. Regular Performance Reviews: Identify bottlenecks or areas where productivity can be improved. Provide training or reassign tasks as needed. Red Flag #5: Lack of Financial Visibility & Untimely Reporting Are your financial reports always weeks or months behind? Do you rely on gut feeling more than actual numbers to make business decisions? Do you only look at your bank balance at the end of the month? This means you're flying blind. Why it's a problem: Without up-to-date and accurate financial information, you cannot make informed decisions. You won't spot cash flow issues, cost overruns, or unprofitable projects until it's too late. This lack of visibility prevents strategic planning and proactive problem-solving. How to fix it: Invest in Good Accounting Software: QuickBooks Desktop or Online, Foundation Software, or other industry-specific solutions are essential. They automate data entry, generate reports, and track job costs. Maintain Clean Books Consistently: Don't let your bookkeeping pile up. Enter invoices, payments, and expenses regularly, ideally on a daily or weekly basis. This provides a real-time picture. Review Key Reports Regularly: Cash Flow Statement - Review it weekly or bi-weekly to track where your money is going and coming from. Job Costing Reports: Review weekly to compare actual costs against your budget for each project. Accounts Receivable Aging Report: Review weekly to see who owes you money and for how long. Work Closely with Your Bookkeeper: A good construction bookkeeper isn't just a data entry specialist; they are your financial partner. They can provide valuable insights, flag potential issues, and help you understand your numbers, enabling you to make informed, profitable decisions. Identifying and addressing these financial red flags isn't about adding more burdens to your plate; it's about building a stronger, more resilient construction business. By taking proactive steps and staying on top of your numbers, you can turn those red flags into green lights for growth and lasting profitability. Don't let hidden financial issues undermine your hard work on the job site – empower yourself with clarity and control.   About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington.

The podcast of people working in and working with visitor attractions, and today you join me in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. I am actually in the shadow of HMS Victory at the moment, right next door to the Mary Rose. And I'm at the Association of Independent Museum's annual conference, and it is Wednesday night, and we're just about to enjoy the conference dinner. We've been told by Dominic Jones, CEO of Mary Rose, to expect lots of surprises and unexpected events throughout the meal, which I understand is a walking meal where we'll partake of our food and drink as we're wandering around the museum itself, moving course to course around different parts of the museum. So that sounds very exciting. Paul Marden:  Today's episode, I'm going to be joined by a I don't know what the collective noun is, for a group of Maritime Museum senior leaders, but that's what they are, and we're going to be talking about collaboration within and between museums, especially museums within the maritime sector. Is this a subject that we've talked about a lot previously? I know we've had Dominic Jones before as our number one most listened episode talking about collaboration in the sector, but it's a subject I think is really worthwhile talking about. Paul Marden: Understanding how museums work together, how they can stretch their resources, increase their reach by working together and achieving greater things than they can do individually. I do need to apologise to you, because it's been a few weeks since our last episode, and there's been lots going on in Rubber Cheese HQ, we have recently become part of a larger organisation, Crowd Convert, along with our new sister organisation, the ticketing company, Merac.Paul Marden:  So there's been lots of work for me and Andy Povey, my partner in crime, as we merge the two businesses together. Hence why there's been a little bit of a lapse between episodes. But the good news is we've got tonight's episode. We've got one more episode where I'll be heading down to Bristol, and I'll talk a little bit more about that later on, and then we're going to take our usual summer hiatus before we start the next season. So two more episodes to go, and I'm really excited. Paul Marden:  Without further ado, I think it's time for us to meet our guests tonight. Let me welcome our guests for this evening. Matthew Tanner, the Vice President of AIM and an Independent Consultant within the museum sector. You've also got a role within international museums as well. Matthew, remind me what that was.Matthew Tanner: That's right, I was president of the International Congress of Maritime Museums.Paul Marden: And that will be relevant later. I'm sure everyone will hear. Richard Morsley, CEO of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust. I've got Hannah Prowse with me, the CEO of Portsmouth Historic Quarter, the inimitable chief cheerleader for Skip the Queue Dominic Jones, CEO of Mary Rose Trust.Dominic Jones: Great to be back.Paul Marden: I expect this to be the number one episode because, you know, it's got to knock your previous episode off the hit list.Dominic Jones: Listen with guests like this. It's going to be the number one. You've got the big hitters, and you've even got one more to go. This is gonna be incredible.Paul Marden:  Exactly. And I've got Andrew Baines, the Executive Director Museum Operations at the National Museum of the Royal Navy. That's quite a title.Dominic Jones: He loves a title that's a lot shorter than the last.Paul Marden: Okay, so we always have icebreakers. And actually, it must be said, listeners, you, unless you're watching the YouTube, we've got the the perfect icebreaker because we've started on Prosecco already. So I'm feeling pretty lubed up. Cheers. So icebreakers, and I'm going to be fair to you, I'm not going to pick on you individually this time, which is what I would normally do with my victims. I'm going to ask you, and you can chime in when you feel you've got the right answer. So first of all, I'd like to hear what the best concert or festival is that you've been to previously.Hannah Prowse: That's really easy for me, as the proud owner of two teenage daughters, I went Tay Tay was Slay. Slay. It was amazing. Three hours of just sheer performative genius and oh my god, that girl stamina. It was just insane. So yeah, it's got to be Tay Tay.Paul Marden: Excellent. That's Taylor Swift. For those of you that aren't aware and down with the kids, if you could live in another country for a year, what would Dominic Jones: We not all answer the gig. I've been thinking of a gig. Well, I was waiting. Do we not all answer one, Rich has got a gig. I mean, you can't just give it to Hannah. Richard, come in with your gig.Richard Morsley: Thank you. So I can't say it's the best ever, but. It was pretty damn awesome. I went to see pulp at the O2 on Saturday night. They were amazing. Are they still bringing it? They were amazing. Incredible. Transport me back.Matthew Tanner:  Members mentioned the Mary Rose song. We had this.Dominic Jones: Oh, come on, Matthew, come on. That was brilliant. That was special. I mean, for me, I'm not allowed to talk about it. It's probably end ups. But you know, we're not allowed to talk you know, we're not allowed to talk about other than here. But I'm taking my kids, spoiler alert, if you're listening to see Shawn Mendes in the summer. So that will be my new favourite gig, because it's the first gig for my kids. So I'm very excited about that. That's amazing. Amazing. Andrew, any gigs?Andrew Baines: It has to be Blondie, the amazing. Glen Beck writing 2019, amazing.Dominic Jones:  Can you get any cooler? This is going to be the number one episode, I can tell.Paul Marden:  Okay, let's go with number two. If you could live in another country for a year, which one would you choose? Hannah Prowse: Morocco. Paul Marden: Really? Oh, so you're completely comfortable with the heat. As I'm wilting next.Hannah Prowse: Completely comfortable. I grew up in the Middle East, my as an expat brat, so I'm really happy out in the heat. I just love the culture, the art, the landscape, the food, the prices, yeah, Morocco. For me, I thinkMatthew Tanner: I've been doing quite a lot of work recently in Hong Kong. Oh, wow. It's this amazing mix of East and West together. There's China, but where everybody speaks English, which is fantastic.Dominic Jones:  I lived in Hong Kong for a few years, and absolutely loved it. So I do that. But I think if I could choose somewhere to live, it's a it's a bit of cheating answer, because the country's America, but the place is Hawaii, because I think I'm meant for Hawaii. I think I've got that sort of style with how I dress, not today, because you are but you can get away with it. We're hosting, so. Paul Marden:  Last one hands up, if you haven't dived before, D with Dom.Dominic Jones: But all of your listeners can come Dive the 4d at the Mary Rose in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, as well as the other amazing things you can do here with our friends and National Museum of Portsmouth Historic Quarter, he will cut this bit out.Paul Marden:  Yeah, there will be a little bit of strict editing going on. And that's fair. So we want to talk a little bit today about collaboration within the Maritime Museum collective as we've got. I was saying on the intro, I don't actually know what the collective noun is for a group of Maritime Museum leaders, a wave?Hannah Prowse: A desperation?Paul Marden: Let's start with we've talked previously. I know on your episode with Kelly, you talked about collaboration here in the dockyard, but I think it's really important to talk a little bit about how Mary Rose, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the National Museum of the Royal Navy all work together. So talk a little bit for listeners that don't know about the collaboration that you've all got going. Dominic Jones:  We've got a wonderful thing going on, and obviously Hannah and Andrew will jump in. But we've got this great site, which is Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We've got Portsmouth Historic Quarter that sort of curates, runs, owns the site, and I'll let Hannah come into that. We've got the Mary Rose, which is my favourite, amazing museum, and then we've got all of the museums and ships to the National Museum of the Royal Navy. But do you want to go first, Hannah, and talk about sort of what is Portsmouth Historic Quarter and the dockyard to you? Hannah Prowse:  Yeah, so at Portsmouth Historic Quarter, we are the landlords of the site, and ultimately have custody of this and pretty hard over on the other side of the water. And it's our job to curate the space, make sure it's accessible to all and make it the most spectacular destination that it can be. Where this point of debate interest and opportunity is around the destination versus attraction debate. So obviously, my partners here run amazing attractions, and it's my job to cite those attractions in the best destination that it can possibly be.Matthew Tanner: To turn it into a magnet that drawsDominic Jones: And the infrastructure. I don't know whether Hannah's mentioned it. She normally mentions it every five seconds. Have you been to the new toilets? Matthew, have you been to these new toilets?Paul Marden: Let's be honest, the highlight of a museum. Richard Morsley: Yeah, get that wrong. We're in trouble.Hannah Prowse: It's very important. Richard Morsley: But all of the amazing ships and museums and you have incredible.Paul Marden: It's a real draw, isn't it? And you've got quite a big estate, so you you've got some on the other side of the dockyard behind you with boat trips that we take you over.Andrew Baines:  Absolutely. So we run Victor here and warrior and 33 on the other side of the hub with the Royal Navy submarine museum explosion working in partnership with BHQ. So a really close collaboration to make it as easy as possible for people to get onto this site and enjoy the heritage that we are joint custodians of. Paul Marden:  Yeah, absolutely. It's amazing. So we're talking a little bit about museums collaborating together, which really is the essence of what we're here for conference, isn't it? I remember when we had the keynote this morning, we were talking about how important it is for everybody to come together. There's no egos here. Everyone's sharing the good stuff. And it was brilliant as well. Given that you're all maritime museums, is it more important for you to differentiate yourselves from one another and compete, or is it more important for you to collaborate?Richard Morsley: Well, from my perspective, it's there is certainly not competitive. I think there's sufficient, I was sufficient distance, I think, between the the attractions for that to be the case, and I think the fact we're all standing here today with a glass of wine in hand, with smiles on our face kind of says, says a lot, actually, in terms of the collaboration within the sector. And as you say that the the AIM conference today that for me, is right, right at the heart of it, it's how we as an independent museum sector, all come together, and we share our knowledge, we share our best practice, and once a year, we have this kind of amazing celebration of these incredible organisations and incredible people coming together and having a wonderful couple of days. Matthew Tanner: But if I could step in there, it's not just the wine, is it rum, perhaps. The maritime sector in particular is one that is is so closely knit and collected by the sea, really. So in the international context, with the International Congress, is about 120 museums. around the world that come together every two years into the fantastic Congress meetings, the connections between these people have come from 1000s of miles away so strong, it's actually joy and reminds us of why we are so excited about the maritime.Paul Marden: I saw you on LinkedIn last year. I think it was you had Mystic Seaport here, didn't you?Dominic Jones: We did and we've had Australia. We've had so many. It all came from the ICM conference I went with and we had such a good time, didn't we saw Richard there. We saw Matthew, and it was just brilliant. And there's pinch yourself moments where you're with museums that are incredible, and then afterwards they ring you and ask you for advice. I'm thinking like there's a lady from France ringing me for advice. I mean, what's that about? I passed her to Andrew.Hannah Prowse: I think also from a leadership perspective, a lot of people say that, you know, being a CEO is the loneliest job in the world, but actually, if you can reach out and have that network of people who actually are going through the same stuff that you're going through, and understand the sector you're working in. It's really, really great. So if I'm having a rubbish day, Dom and I will frequently meet down in the gardens outside between our two offices with a beer or an ice cream and just go ah at each other. And that's really important to be able to do.Dominic Jones: And Hannah doesn't laugh when I have a crisis. I mean, she did it once. She did it and it hurt my feelings.Hannah Prowse: It was really funny.Dominic Jones:  Well, laughter, Dominic, Hannah Prowse: You needed. You needed to be made. You did. You did. But you know, and Richard and I have supported each other, and occasionally.Richard Morsley: You know, you're incredibly helpful when we're going through a recruitment process recently.Hannah Prowse: Came and sat in on his interview.Richard Morsley: We were rogue. Hannah Prowse: We were so bad, we should never be allowed to interview today. Paul Marden:  I bet you were just there taking a list of, yeah, they're quite good. I'm not going to agree to that one.Hannah Prowse: No, it was, it was great, and it's lovely to have other people who are going through the same stuff as you that you can lean on. Richard Morsley: Yeah, absolutely.Dominic Jones: Incredible. It's such an important sector, as Matthew said, and we are close, the water doesn't divide us. It makes us it makes us stronger.Matthew Tanner: Indeed. And recently, of course, there's increasing concern about the state of the marine environment, and maritime museums are having to take on that burden as well, to actually express to our puppets. It's not just about the ships and about the great stories. It's also about the sea. It's in excess, and we need to look after it. Paul Marden: Yeah, it's not just a view backwards to the past. It's around how you take that and use that as a model to go forward. Matthew Tanner: Last week, the new David Attenborough piece about the ocean 26 marathon museums around the world, simultaneously broadcasting to their local audiences. Dominic Jones: And it was phenomenal. It was such a good film. It was so popular, and the fact that we, as the Mary Rose, could host it thanks to being part of ICM, was just incredible. Have you seen it? Paul Marden:  I've not seen Dominic Jones: It's coming to Disney+, any day now, he's always first to know it's on. There you go. So watch it there. It's so good. Paul Marden: That's amazing. So you mentioned Disney, so that's a kind of an outside collaboration. Let's talk a little bit. And this is a this is a rubbish segue, by the way. Let's talk a little bit about collaborating outside of the sector itself, maybe perhaps with third party rights holders, because I know that you're quite pleased with your Lego exhibition at the moment.Richard Morsley: I was actually going to jump in there. Dominic, because you've got to be careful what you post on LinkedIn. There's no such thing as I don't know friends Exactly. Really.Dominic Jones: I was delighted if anyone was to steal it from us, I was delighted it was you. Richard Morsley: And it's been an amazing exhibition for us. It's bringing bringing Lego into the Historic Dockyard Chatham. I think one of the one of the things that we sometimes lack is that that thing that's kind of truly iconic, that the place is iconic, the site is incredible, but we don't have that household name. We don't have a Mary Rose. We don't have a victory. So actually working in partnership, we might get there later. We'll see how the conversation, but yeah, how we work with third parties, how we use third party IP and bring that in through exhibitions, through programming. It's really important to us. So working at a Lego brick Rex exhibition, an exhibition that really is a museum exhibition, but also tells the story of three Chatham ships through Lego, it's absolutely perfect for us, and it's performed wonderfully. It's done everything that we would have hoped it would be. Dominic Jones: I'm bringing the kids in the summer. I love Chatham genuinely. I know he stole the thing from LinkedIn, but I love Chatham. So I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll spend money in the shop as well.Richard Morsley: Buy a book. Yeah.Paul Marden: Can we buy Lego? Richard Morsley:  Of course you can buy Lego. Paul Marden: So this is a this is a magnet. It is sucking the kids into you, but I bet you're seeing something amazing as they interpret the world that they've seen around them at the museum in the Lego that they can play with.Richard Morsley: Of some of some of the models that are created off the back of the exhibition by these children is remind and adults actually, but mainly, mainly the families are amazing, but and you feel awful at the end of the day to painstakingly take them apart.Richard Morsley: Where is my model?Dominic Jones: So we went to see it in the Vasa, which is where he stole the idea from. And I decided to, sneakily, when they were doing that, take a Charles model that was really good and remodel it to look like the Mary Rose, and then post a picture and say, I've just built the Mary Rose. I didn't build the Mary Rose. Some Swedish person bought the Mary Rose. I just added the flags. You get what you say. Hannah Prowse: We've been lucky enough to be working with the Lloyds register foundation this year, and we've had this brilliant she sees exhibition in boathouse four, which is rewriting women into maritime history. So the concept came from Lloyd's Register, which was, you know, the untold stories of women in maritime working with brilliant photographers and textile designers to tell their stories. And they approached me and said, "Can we bring this into the dockyard?" And we said, "Yes, but we'd really love to make it more local." And they were an amazing partner. And actually, what we have in boathouse for is this phenomenal exhibition telling the stories of the women here in the dockyard.Richard Morsley: And then going back to that point about collaboration, not competition, that exhibition, then comes to Chatham from February next year, but telling, telling Chatham stories instead of. Hannah Prowse:  Yeah, Richard came to see it here and has gone, "Oh, I love what you've done with this. Okay, we can we can enhance, we can twist it." So, you know, I've hoped he's going to take our ideas and what we do with Lloyd's and make it a million times better.Richard Morsley: It's going to be an amazing space.Dominic Jones: Richard just looks at LinkedIn and gets everyone's ideas.Andrew Baines: I think one of the exciting things is those collaborations that people will be surprised by as well. So this summer, once you've obviously come to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and experience the joys of that, and then you've called off on Chatham and another day to see what they've got there, you can go off to London Zoo, and we are working in partnership with London Zoo, and we have a colony of Death Watch beetle on display. Paul Marden:  Oh, wonderful. I mean, can you actually hear them? Dominic Jones: Not necessarily the most exciting.Andrew Baines: I'll grant you. But you know, we've got a Chelsea gold medal on in the National Museum of the Royal Navy for collaboration with the Woodlands Foundation, looking at Sudden Oak death. And we've got an exhibition with ZSL at London Zoo, which I don't think anybody comes to a National Maritime Museum or an NMRN National Museum The Royal Navy, or PHQ, PhD, and expects to bump into tiny little animals, no, butDominic Jones: I love that, and it's such an important story, the story of Victor. I mean, look, you're both of you, because Matthew's involved with Victor as well. Your victory preservation and what you're doing is incredible. And the fact you can tell that story, it's LSL, I love that.Andrew Baines: Yeah. And we're actually able to feed back into the sector. And one of the nice things is, we know we talk about working collaboratively, but if you look at the victory project, for example, our project conservator came down the road from Chatham, equally, which you one of.Richard Morsley: Our your collections manager.Paul Marden: So it's a small pool and you're recycling.Andrew Baines: Progression and being people in develop and feed them on.Matthew Tanner:  The open mindedness, yeah, taking and connecting from all over, all over the world, when I was working with for the SS Great Britain, which is the preserved, we know, great iron steam chip, preserved as as he saw her, preserved in a very, very dry environment. We'll take technology for that we found in the Netherlands in a certain seeds factory where they had to, they had to package up their seeds in very, very low humidity environments.Paul Marden:  Yes, otherwise you're gonna get some sprouting going on. Matthew Tanner:   Exactly. That's right. And that's the technology, which we then borrowed to preserve a great historic ship. Paul Marden: I love that. Dominic Jones:  And SS Great Britain is amazing, by the way you did such a good job there. It's one of my favourite places to visit. So I love that.Paul Marden:  I've got a confession to make. I'm a Somerset boy, and I've never been.Dominic Jones: Have you been to yoga list? Oh yeah, yeah. I was gonna say.Paul Marden: Yeah. I am meeting Sam Mullins at the SS Great Britain next next week for our final episode of the season. Matthew Tanner: There you go.Dominic Jones: And you could go to the where they made the sale. What's the old court canvas or Corker Canvas is out there as well. There's so many amazing places down that neck of the woods. It's so good.Paul Marden: Quick segue. Let's talk. Let's step away from collaboration, or only very lightly, highlights of today, what was your highlight talk or thing that you've seen?Richard Morsley: I think for me, it really was that focus on community and engagement in our places and the importance of our institutions in the places that we're working. So the highlight, absolutely, for me, opening this morning was the children's choir as a result of the community work that the Mary Rose trust have been leading, working.Dominic Jones:  Working. So good. Richard Morsley: Yeah, fabulous. Paul Marden:  Absolutely. Matthew Tanner: There's an important point here about about historic ships which sometimes get kind of positioned or landed by developers alongside in some ports, as if that would decorate a landscape. Ships actually have places. Yes, they are about they are connected to the land. They're not just ephemeral. So each of these ships that are here in Portsmouth and the others we've talked about actually have roots in their home ports and the people and the communities that they served. They may well have roots 1000s of miles across the ocean as well, makes them so exciting, but it's a sense of place for a ship. Hannah Prowse: So I think that all of the speakers were obviously phenomenal.Dominic Jones: And including yourself, you were very good.Hannah Prowse: Thank you. But for me, this is a slightly random one, but I always love seeing a group of people coming in and watching how they move in the space. I love seeing how people interact with the buildings, with the liminal spaces, and where they have where they run headlong into something, where they have threshold anxiety. So when you have a condensed group of people, it's something like the AIM Conference, and then they have points that they have to move around to for the breakout sessions. But then watching where their eyes are drawn, watching where they choose to go, and watching how people interact with the heritage environment I find really fascinating. Paul Marden: Is it like flocks of birds? What are moving around in a space? Hannah Prowse: Exactly. Yeah.Paul Marden: I say, this morning, when I arrived, I immediately joined a queue. I had no idea what the queue was, and I stood there for two minutes.Dominic Jones: I love people in the joint queues, we normally try and sell you things.Paul Marden: The person in front of me, and I said, "What we actually queuing for?" Oh, it's the coffee table. Oh, I don't need coffee. See you later. Yes.Dominic Jones: So your favourite bit was the queue. Paul Marden: My favourite..Dominic Jones: That's because you're gonna plug Skip the Queue. I love it.Dominic Jones: My favourite moment was how you divided the conference on a generational boundary by talking about Kojak.Dominic Jones: Kojak? Yes, it was a gamble, because it was an old film, and I'll tell you where I saw it. I saw it on TV, and the Mary Rose have got it in their archives. So I said, Is there any way I could get this to introduce me? And they all thought I was crazy, but I think it worked. But my favorite bit, actually, was just after that, when we were standing up there and welcoming everyone to the conference. Because for four years, we've been talking about doing this for three years. We've been arranging it for two years. It was actually real, and then the last year has been really scary. So for us to actually pull it off with our partners, with the National Museum of the Royal Navy, with Portsmouth Historic quarter, with all of our friends here, was probably the proudest moment for me. So for me, I loved it. And I'm not going to lie, when the children were singing, I was a little bit emotional, because I was thinking, this is actually happened. This is happening. So I love that, and I love tonight. Tonight's going to be amazing. Skip the queue outside Dive, the Mary Rose 4d come and visit. He won't edit that out. He won't edit that out. He can't keep editing Dive, The Mary Rose.Dominic Jones: Andrew, what's his favourite? Andrew Baines: Oh yes. Well, I think it was the kids this morning, just for that reminder when you're in the midst of budgets and visitor figures and ticket income and development agreements, and why is my ship falling apart quicker than I thought it was going to fall apart and all those kind of things actually just taking that brief moment to see such joy and enthusiasm for the next generation. Yeah, here directly connected to our collections and that we are both, PHQ, NRN supported, MRT, thank you both really just a lovely, lovely moment.Paul Marden: 30 kids singing a song that they had composed, and then backflip.Dominic Jones: It was a last minute thing I had to ask Jason. Said, Jason, can you stand to make sure I don't get hit? That's why I didn't want to get hit, because I've got a precious face. Hannah Prowse: I didn't think the ship fell apart was one of the official parts of the marketing campaign.Paul Marden: So I've got one more question before we do need to wrap up, who of your teams have filled in the Rubber Cheese Website Survey. Dominic Jones: We, as Mary Rose and Ellen, do it jointly as Portsmouth historic document. We've done it for years. We were an early adopter. Of course, we sponsored it. We even launched it one year. And we love it. And actually, we've used it in our marketing data to improve loads of things. So since that came out, we've made loads of changes. We've reduced the number of clicks we've done a load of optimum website optimisation. It's the best survey for visitor attractions. I feel like I shouldn't be shouting out all your stuff, because that's all I do, but it is the best survey.Paul Marden: I set you up and then you just ran so we've got hundreds of people arriving for this evening's event. We do need to wrap this up. I want one last thing, which is, always, we have a recommendation, a book recommendation from Nepal, and the first person to retweet the message on Bluesky will be offered, of course, a copy of the book. Does anyone have a book that they would like to plug of their own or, of course, a work or fiction that they'd like to recommend for the audience.Paul Marden: And we're all looking at you, Matthew.Dominic Jones: Yeah. Matthew is the book, man you're gonna recommend. You'reAndrew Baines: The maritime.Paul Marden: We could be absolutely that would be wonderful.Matthew Tanner: Two of them jump into my mind, one bit more difficult to read than the other, but the more difficult to read. One is Richard Henry. Dana D, a n, a, an American who served before the mast in the 19th century as an ordinary seaman on a trading ship around the world and wrote a detailed diary. It's called 10 years before the mast. And it's so authentic in terms of what it was really like to be a sailor going around Cape corn in those days. But the one that's that might be an easier gift is Eric Newby, the last great grain race, which was just before the Second World War, a journalist who served on board one of the last great Windjammers, carrying grain from Australia back to Europe and documenting his experience higher loft in Gales get 17 knots in his these giant ships, absolute white knuckle rides. Paul Marden: Perfect, perfect. Well, listeners, if you'd like a copy of Matthew's book recommendation, get over to blue sky. Retweet the post that Wenalyn will put out for us. I think the last thing that we really need to do is say cheers and get on with the rest of the year. Richard Morsley: Thank you very much. Andrew Baines: Thank you.Paul Marden: Thanks for listening to Skip the Queue.

With This Ring #69: King of the Ring 2000   Ryan and Cindy roll on, looking at the 2000 edition of King of the Ring. In this edition we once again see a very stacked, although shoddily booked tournament along with some other big time matches. Among the topics we discuss: Lot of talk about the PPV and tournament in general and how only 3 matches in the entire 32 person tournament lasts past 5 minutes. How by rebooking only slightly, you could have a much better tournament with the same 8 guys, or subbing two guys from the Fatal 4-Way tag match. We look at the end of peak Too Cool. The quick appearance of Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) in WWF and somehow led to a Hardcore Evening Gown match between Brisco and Patterson. Kurt Angle being the proper choice for King and how it helped give me my AIM screen name.    The main event being a good enough Sports Entertainment ga-ga match. The night after-Raw where Vince says he's going away to be a genetic jackhammer and how it was probably time to lower our McMahons for a little while. Mick Foley making his comeback and the WWF finally getting a fan friendly authority figure and what it leads to.     All this and much more. Enjoy!

In this solo episode, Tina Tower dives deep into the real-world strategies she uses to conquer procrastination, stay motivated, and take unstoppable action in her business and life. Tina offers 10 actionable techniques that are practical and proven, highlighting that success often comes down to consistent action—even when the feeling isn't there. Whether you're building a course, growing a digital business, or just trying to stay on track with your goals, this episode is packed with tangible tips to help you get out of your head, stop overthinking, and actually get things DONE. Key Topics Covered: Break Big Tasks Down: Tackle overwhelm by breaking large projects into bite-sized, actionable chunks. Use project management tools like Monday.com to list the small steps and work through them one at a time for a confidence boost. Pomodoro Timer Technique: Focus in short, timed sprints for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. This helps train your brain to focus, especially if you struggle with attention or frequently get distracted. Block Distractions: Use apps like Freedom or Opal to block social media, emails, and other time-sapping distractions so you can stay laser-focused on the task at hand. Stay Organized with Project Management: Tools like Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and Trello can systemize your workflow, help you brain dump ideas, and prioritize work so you know exactly what to focus on. Set Clear Work Windows: Time block your day and give yourself realistic, defined periods to work. Setting boundaries (like strict start and end times or sprinting to deadlines) builds urgency and momentum. Just Start—for 10 Minutes: Commit to working on tough tasks for just 10 minutes. Action often creates motivation; once you get started, you're more likely to find your flow and keep going. Reward Yourself: Celebrate milestones, even small ones! Whether it's a treat, a walk, or a bigger reward after a big project, pairing achievements with positive rewards builds self-trust and motivation. Done is Better Than Perfect: Don't let perfectionism become procrastination. Aim for excellence, but know when 80-90% is good enough to launch—improvements can come later! Visualize Success: Imagine your project, launch, or event completed successfully. Visualization transforms overwhelm into clarity and gives you an emotional boost to follow through. Celebrate Your Wins: Mark every achievement, no matter the size. Regularly acknowledging your wins (publicly or privately) keeps you energized and builds confidence. Tina reminds listeners that procrastination is normal and doesn't mean you're lazy or broken—you may just need better systems or clearer motivation. She encourages you to try any (or all!) of these strategies today. Don't let procrastination hold you back from building your dream business and life. The world needs what you have to offer!   Links & Resources: Monday.com Pomodoro Timer (free software) Freedom App Opal App   Where to find Tina: Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@herempirebuilder

Remember to make it a “no-brainer” for potential customers. ●      Repackage an Existing Asset: Look through your existing materials (like recorded webinars, handouts, or coaching questions) and package them into a low ticket offer. Aim to create something that provides value and can be easily sold, such as a workbook or an activity guide. ●      Ask For the Sale: After you create a clear offer, it's time to communicate it to your audience. Remember, people who have bought from you before are more likely to buy again. ●      Automate Your Sales: Consider exploring ways to automate the sales of your low ticket offers, such as through email marketing or online sales platforms, to generate income while you focus on other aspects of your business.

Interview with Gregory Martyr, Executive Chairman of Capital Metals PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/capital-metals-lsecmet-unlocking-value-in-high-grade-sri-lankan-mineral-sands-6384Recording date: 16th June 2025Capital Metals (LSE:CMET) has secured a transformative partnership for its Taprobane mineral sands project in Sri Lanka, marking a significant milestone in the company's path to production. The AIM-listed developer announced a 14% investment from Ambeon Capital, a Sri Lankan investment group that brings crucial local expertise and government connections to the high-grade deposit on the country's east coast.The Taprobane project distinguishes itself through exceptional resource quality, featuring 17% grade mineral sands among the world's highest concentrations. Recent aircore drilling has revealed even greater potential, with visual inspections indicating grades exceeding 60% in some areas at depths previously inaccessible through conventional hand auger methods. Executive Chairman Gregory Martyr emphasized the project's economics, noting mining costs of $20 per ton against revenue of $40 per ton, delivering a compelling 100% markup.The strategic value of the Ambeon partnership extends beyond capital injection. Founded by Australian-educated principals combining local market knowledge with international business experience, Ambeon provides direct access to Sri Lankan regulatory channels through its chairman's position on the Board of Investment. This connection proves critical as Capital Metals navigates government requirements for initial raw concentrate exports followed by mandatory value-added processing within two years.Capital Metals plans to commence operations with a $20.9 million concentrate facility utilizing 48 gravity spirals, targeting 125,000 tons of annual production. The company has structured a comprehensive $20 million funding strategy through a Sri Lankan exchange listing, with Ambeon contributing $10 million in equity and arranging $10 million in corporate debt through its banking relationships.The project benefits from established, low-risk processing technology requiring no blasting or chemicals, while the shallow 1.6-meter average depth minimizes operational complexity. With significant drilling inventory yet to be incorporated into resource calculations, the current 10-year mine life could potentially double, supporting the $155 million base case net present value and positioning Capital Metals advantageously in the mineral sands sector.View Capital Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/capital-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Are you letting fear hold you back from reaching your full potential in life and business? In this powerful episode of Real Estate Rockstars, we feature 2025 Mastermind speaker Matt King, who dives deep into the dynamic tension between faith and fear and how each shapes our decisions, momentum, and success. With vivid metaphors like standing at the edge of a river, Matt breaks down how invisible forces require conviction and how we can harness faith to move forward. He introduces the "Four Horsemen" that commonly stall progress: fear, limiting beliefs, resistance to change, and lack of self-awareness, and shares a practical framework, Aim, Begin, Compound, and Control (AB and double C), to overcome them. Packed with relatable stories, personal breakthroughs, and early insights from his upcoming book, this episode is both inspiring and deeply actionable. Listen now to start building unstoppable momentum in your life and career!
