Happy Monday, y'all — and welcome back to The Work. December is here, the sleet is falling, and we're kicking off the final stretch of the year with a whole lot happening behind the scenes.This week, Greg and I dive into Thanksgiving recaps, starting with a massive shout-out to Marty, our UPS driver who surprised the whole crew with the most unbelievable keto barbecue spread. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork — all dialed in, Savage-certified, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. Watching Marty dive into keto, lose weight, and get fired up about the lifestyle is exactly the kind of ripple effect I always hoped this business would have.Speaking of meat, I somehow managed to stumble into field-dressing a deer in my running shorts minutes before a business call. Only here, folks. The deer had been hit and was suffering, so Clancy and I stepped in, processed it, and now we've got a freezer full of venison. Not how I planned to spend my Wednesday morning, but sometimes life hands you a responsibility… and 40 pounds of protein.Back at the homestead, Thanksgiving brought deep-fried turkey cooked in grass-finished tallow - next-level stuff. Total game-changer for the family. But pigs? Different story. We got back from the holiday only to discover our new pigs had intestinal worms, despite being told they were clean. Definitely frustrating when you're doing everything as naturally and intentionally as possible. Luckily, we've got a regenerative protocol lined up — diatomaceous earth, pumpkin seeds, garlic, apple cider vinegar — to get everything back on track without resorting to pharmaceuticals.We also recap our Black Friday/Cyber Monday launch. We didn't discount the bricks — margins don't allow it — but we did hook folks up with a killer value: free high-end cooler bags and access to the Savage System when they stocked up. Those cooler bags are insane, by the way. Yeti-level, maybe better, and my cousins took them through mud, rivers, and gun ranges to put them to the test.Then we shift gears into 2026 planning. We're working hard to lock down the venue for the next Natural State Savages. Tons of people are already asking, and yes — it is happening. As soon as the venue gives us the green light, the date will be set.We've also finalized the core details for the next Savage Retreat: Tough Mudder weekend — Feb 28–March 1 — with Dr. Jamie Seeman as our keynote speaker. Three days, a shared Airbnb, a mud run, mountains of barbecue, and one heck of a good time. Tribe members get a discounted rate, but either way, we're pricing it just high enough to cover costs and make it an unforgettable experience.We close by touching on training — both Greg and I are seeing strength climbing across the board. Calories steady, recovery solid, and deep into grow-mode as I gear up mentally for the 2027 prep season. Eddie set the bar high at Worlds this year… and I'm coming for that standard.December's here, momentum's up, and we're grinding all the way into 2026. Let's get to work.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

From packing bulky gear to ensuring cleanliness and safety, parents often find themselves overwhelmed. BabyQuip, led by CEO and founder Fran Maier, provides a simple, effective solution. BabyQuip connects traveling families with local providers of baby gear, offering a trusted marketplace for renting everything from cribs to strollers.Fran shared how her experience as a mother and Airbnb host inspired BabyQuip. “I did not want to buy, store, clean, take care of baby gear for guests,” she explained. Her entrepreneurial instincts led her to harness the gig economy, creating opportunities for over 3,000 providers—mostly moms—who deliver, set up, and clean the rented gear. “We're a marketplace, like Turo or Airbnb. We really harness the energy and dedication of our providers,” she added.This innovative model addresses a significant need in the $3 trillion U.S. travel industry. Parents flying with children no longer need to lug heavy gear or worry about availability at their destination. Fran noted, “It's an acute need, because it's something you need at a specific time in a specific place.”The company's success is evident. BabyQuip now operates in 28 countries, recently partnered with Vrbo, and has earned a Good Housekeeping award for innovative travel solutions. This year, the company expects to fulfill over 120,000 orders and even achieved profitability in Q3.BabyQuip is poised for further growth, with plans to expand into mobility equipment and international markets. To fuel this expansion, Fran is raising capital on StartEngine via a regulated crowdfunding campaign. “I have a brand that customers love. Crowdfunding lets me invite them to be part of the journey,” she explained.By addressing a real pain point for families and leveraging the gig economy, BabyQuip is redefining the travel experience for parents everywhere.tl;dr:BabyQuip solves the hassle of traveling with baby gear by connecting families to local providers.The company operates in 28 countries and has fulfilled over 120,000 orders this year alone.BabyQuip recently partnered with Vrbo and won a Good Housekeeping award for travel innovation.Fran Maier is raising capital on StartEngine to fund expansion into mobility and international markets.Fran's superpower is her visionary instinct for building trusted brands that solve real problems.How to Develop Visionary Instinct As a SuperpowerFran's superpower is her ability to “see things and get it” instinctively. She described how her entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by her knack for identifying potential in ideas and turning them into trusted brands. As Fran explained, “I've been the one who came in and looked at [ideas] and said, ‘Oh, I can do something with this.'” Her marketing background and experience enable her to see how businesses can grow, make an impact, and solve real problems for people.Fran's visionary instinct was on full display when she co-founded Match.com in the mid-1990s. At the time, the internet was in its infancy, and many doubted its potential. Fran, however, immediately recognized its transformative possibilities. “When I first saw the internet, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is going to change everything,'” she recalled. She joined Match to build a trusted brand, foreseeing the massive societal shift toward online dating that would follow.Tips for Developing Visionary Instinct:Trust Your Gut: Pay attention to your instincts when evaluating new ideas or opportunities.Immerse Yourself in Trends: Stay informed about industry shifts and emerging technologies to spot opportunities early.Practice Pattern Recognition: Look for recurring themes or challenges in your field that you can address.Build on Experience: Leverage knowledge from past successes and failures to inform your decisions.Think Big: Envision not just the product but the larger impact and scale it can achieve.By following Fran's example and advice, you can make visionary instinct a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileFran Maier (she/her):CEO and Co-Founder, BabyQuipAbout BabyQuip: BabyQuip is the leading global marketplace for renting baby gear, beach gear, pet gear, and mobility equipment—helping travelers avoid the hassle of hauling bulky items and enabling more families to travel with ease.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast, today we are joined by Christina Suter, a seasoned real estate investor, advisor, and educator. Christina shares her journey, starting with inheriting a paid-off house at 17, and explains why she views real estate as a vehicle for location, time, and choice freedom, not just money. Tune in as she discusses her shift from appreciation plays in California to high cash flow strategies like room shares , and how her "Live A Rich Life" coaching helps people find meaning and purpose beyond just achieving financial independence. In this episode, we chat about… The "Why" for Investing: Christina's core motivation for investing is to be a mom, allowing her time freedom. Investing Start: She began investing at 17 when she inherited the family's paid-off $200,000 house in LA. Money vs. Purpose: Achieving financial freedom in her thirties left her unhappy; she realized money brings freedom, but a sense of purpose brings peace. Shift from California: Christina moved her focus out of high-appreciation California due to poor cash flow and difficult tenant's rights laws. High-Return Strategy: She shifted from Airbnb to room shares, a strategy that can generate over $5,000 a month, or double the income of a long-term rental, on a $300,000 investment. Key Takeaways: Money gives freedom, but mindset is what brings peace. If you don't choose your direction, life chooses it for you. Cash flow and appreciation serve different stages of your financial plan. Room shares can outperform long-term and mid-term rentals in the right markets. Your "why" must be deeper than money, the money comes from living your purpose.

In this episode, Neil delves into the powerful principle of edification and how it can enhance your Airbnb hosting business. He explains why promoting others rather than yourself can lead to greater success and credibility. From the importance of genuine compliments to strategic guest interactions, Neil emphasises that building a community through the art of edification can significantly boost your bookings and reputation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Promoting others rather than yourself enhances credibility and likability. When you praise someone else, it builds trust and makes others more receptive to their words. Engage with guests to learn about their strengths and interests. This information can be used to edify them to other guests, creating a positive atmosphere and enhancing their experience. Encourage guests to leave small notes of appreciation on a designated wall or fridge. These micro-reviews serve as social proof and can influence future guests' perceptions. Foster a sense of community among guests by encouraging them to interact and share experiences. This not only enhances their stay but also promotes your hosting reputation organically. BEST MOMENTS "You can promote anybody except yourself. Promote yourself and it's bragging. Promote someone else and you're suddenly wise, warm, and mysteriously likable." "Praise from a third party is pure gold to you. The principle works in any walk of life, not just in business." "If you tell your guests that you run a brilliant Airbnb, they'll just raise an eyebrow. If someone else who stayed last night tells them, they'll believe them long before they believe you." "When you praise someone sincerely in front of others, you give them status and people repay status with loyalty, kindness, and glowing reviews."

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Rodric sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and financial literacy coach Angela Goodman to unpack the truth behind “money problems.” Angela shares the hard-won lessons from leaving corporate HVAC, surviving (and choosing to exit) the restaurant world, and coaching business owners who are great at their craft but broke on paper.They dig into discernment, boundaries, self-worth, and communication—and why most entrepreneurs don't actually have money problems… they have people problems and self-valuation problems. You'll also hear about fearless experimentation (including cutting into a dream hot rod to learn welding), human design, and why you wouldn't desire the thing if you weren't capable of doing the thing.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy Angela walked away from corporate America and bought a restaurant she'd “never do again.”How short-term rentals, multifamily, and restaurants can make you question humanity—and what those experiences taught her about boundaries.The link between communication, self-worth, and cash flow (and why it's almost never “just the money”).How to become radically picky about clients and partnerships—and why Angela tests people before they know they're being tested.Rodric's Four Futures framework and the moment you hit “no more” and never go back.The real cost of refusing to invest in help, even when you're leaving millions on the table.What human design and spiritual work have to do with business, money, and why you're on earth.A simple but powerful reframe from Channel Panel: “You wouldn't desire to do the thing if you weren't capable of doing the thing.”About Angela GoodmanAngela describes herself as “just a girl from Virginia,” but the resume is a little bigger than that:Started in commercial HVAC, one of the few women in the industry.Climbed into leadership managing large teams and a $25M business.Left corporate to buy into a restaurant franchise, grinding 24/7, surviving COVID, and ultimately choosing to exit.Invested in multifamily and other ventures that taught her hard lessons about partners, discernment, and trusting the wrong people.Today she works with business owners on financial literacy, communication, and culture, helping them stop being “poor entrepreneurs” and start running profitable companies aligned with who they really are.You'll find her speaking to rooms of accountants, trades, and entrepreneurs on money, leadership, and communication—then heading off to Antarctica and beyond for bucket-list adventures.Key Moments & Timestamps00:00 – Antarctica, Easter Island & Lifetime Trips Rodric and Angela open with travel talk: Antarctica, Machu Picchu, Easter Island, tennis majors, and why Angela wants to go where nobody else has been.03:23 – “I'm Just a Girl from Virginia” – Angela's Origin Story Angela shares how she went from commercial HVAC to buying a restaurant franchise, and why she's now exiting to focus on helping business owners “figure out their sh*t.”06:36 – Restaurants, Airbnbs & Questioning Humanity They compare war stories: restaurant guests, short-term rentals, multifamily tenants… and how certain businesses can make you seriously rethink how much you like people.08:49 – Learning Discernment the Hard Way Angela talks about bad partnerships, being owed hundreds of thousands of dollars, and realizing she trusted the wrong people....

He fought an extremely rare form of cancer bravely, but in the end, his heart couldn't keep up the fight anymore. He went fast with no prolonged suffering. We want to thank all of you who have kept him in prayer. Please know that those prayers were not in vain. Our son lives with Jesus now.We are now updating this campaign to reflect our financial need for his remaining hospital bills, funeral expenses, and housing for our family. For those who don't already know, we have had to evacuate our home due to a very serious mold issue. It was caused by a pipe bursting last November; our renters sent out a team to fix it, but apparently they did not do it properly and when the warm weather came earlier this year, the mold started to grow. This is what the mold report found out. It is now unlivable. Because of this, our entire family has had to live in Airbnbs for the last several weeks. We are essentially homeless. On top of that, our renters informed us that they will continue charging us rent until we can move all of our things out. Because of the mold, we have had to throw away a lot of our things, such as beds, furniture, clothes, and anything else the mold has ruined. House rent, Airbnb rentals, hospital bills, funeral expenses, many new household items, clothes, and everything else we need to keep our family of us and our four remaining children is, as you can imagine, piling on quite a bit. As most men, I do not enjoy asking for help. However, as most fathers and husbands can relate to, there isn't anything I won't do for my family. In light of that, I wanted to first ask all of you to pray for us.Also, because of the overwhelming expenses that inevitably come from all these things happening at the same time, if you feel led to help us financially, there's a couple different ways you can do that:GiveSendGo: http://www.GiveSendGo.com/NathanTheBravePayPal: http://PayPal.me/JoshPeckDisclosureOr send in your donation to:P.O.

Eddie Hartman co-founded LegalZoom with a simple but radical idea: legal documents are just information, and information belongs online. Despite facing an industry of lawyers who wanted to sue the company out of existence, Eddie pushed forward to help launch one out of every four small businesses in California. Today, as a partner at Simon-Kucher, he advises global giants like Uber and Airbnb on pricing strategies, proving that the secret to success isn't just building things people want—it's building things people want to pay for.In this interview, Eddie sits down with Ryan Atkinson to deconstruct the psychology of the founder mindset. He explains why entrepreneurs need to be "insane in a specific way" to overcome the fear of failure and how to avoid the "single engine trap" of leaning too heavily on your natural strengths. Eddie breaks down the critical difference between chasing market share versus wallet share and explains how to become a "profitable growth architect" rather than just another business owner with a cool idea.If you are struggling to monetize innovation or wondering if your business model is built to last, this episode is a masterclass in strategy. You'll learn how to price your product to get to "yes," why you should embrace the fear of failure, and the specific steps you need to take to scale your business from a startup concept to an industry disruptor.Takeaways:- Build for Payment: Don't just build what people want; build what they are willing to pay for.- The Single Engine Trap: Avoid over-relying on your natural strength (like sales) while neglecting other business needs.- Growth Strategy: Successful companies chase market share and wallet share simultaneously.- Founder Psychology: You need "specific insanity"—the fear of failure combined with the certainty of success.- Price First: Validate the price point and willingness to pay before you build the product.- Strategic Packaging: Don't offer one price; create tiers to capture different customer segments.- Fear as a Shield: Use high barriers to entry (like fear of lawsuits) to keep competitors away.- Sales vs. Customers: A one-time transaction (especially a discounted one) is not a loyal client.- Stamina Over IQ: Success is often determined by the ability to "not stop" rather than raw genius.- Leverage Imposter Syndrome: Use the fear of not being good enough as fuel to outwork everyone else.Tags: Startup, Entrepreneurship, Pricing Strategy, Business Mindset, Small Business, LegalZoomResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Eddie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddie-hartman

Entamoeba histolytica nearly ended Ron Blutrich's scientific career. Instead, it pushed him to rethink how we protect people in multi-family buildings, senior facilities, and dense urban centers from invisible microbiological risks in their drinking water. In this episode, he joins host Trace Blackmore to unpack what whole-building UV can (and can't) do for Legionella, biofilm, and real-world water safety. When One Bad Cup of Water Redefines a Career In the middle of his PhD in molecular genetics, Ron drank from an under-sink reverse osmosis tap at an Airbnb and contracted Entamoeba histolytica. The infection triggered more than three years of severe gastrointestinal symptoms and a 100-pound weight loss, despite being "clinically cured." That experience—and the lack of clear answers—led him to dig into how governments, utilities, and buildings actually manage microbiological risk in water. He discovered that even in urban centers, there is "a lot left to be desired" in monitoring, guidelines, and the epidemiology of waterborne disease. UV at the Point of Entry: Why Medium Pressure Matters Ron explains why he chose UV as the primary disinfection tool for CLEAR's whole-building solutions. He contrasts conventional filters (carbon, RO, media) that remove contaminants but do not kill biology with UV systems that directly target DNA and other cellular structures. He walks through the differences between low-pressure and medium-pressure UV, including temperature independence for hot water recirculation and the broader wavelength spectrum that can damage DNA, proteins, membranes, and even DNA repair enzymes. That same technology is being used for multicellular control in marine environments, ballast water, and mollusk control, and Ron argues it is uniquely suited to domestic hot water systems facing Legionella and biofilm. Legionella, Biofilm, and the Limits of "Good Enough" Drawing from CLEAR's field work, Ron describes how often Legionella shows up in single homes, condos, and new buildings, and how standard practices typically focus on remediation and short-term clearance instead of long-term prevention. He highlights the gap between ASHRAE 188's recommendations for hot water temperatures and real constraints in senior housing, where anti-scalding concerns keep tanks too cool to reliably control Legionella. He also shares stories of property managers and public agencies reluctant to test because they lack cost-effective treatment options or don't want to confront what the data might show. Scaling UV from Towers to Single Homes Ron walks through why conventional media and RO systems don't scale well to large towers—footprint, cost, and pressure loss—and how CLEAR instead installs inline UV systems at the point of entry. These systems can handle up to roughly 2,000 gallons per minute, require minimal head loss, and are designed as a single point of installation and service. From there, he explains how his team layered on monitoring and a tenant-facing dashboard so that properties can see UV dose, transmittance, and flow in real time, and service can be triggered based on performance instead of fixed schedules. He also discusses emerging opportunities in UV LEDs and next-generation media that could make fully comprehensive point-of-entry treatment feasible in more buildings. For leaders responsible for building portfolios, senior living, or high-density residential properties, this conversation offers a rigorous look at what it really takes to move from "we hope the water is fine" to a defensible, data-backed stance on microbiological safety.

It turns out that Legionella is extremely susceptible to UV. Legionella can be reduced almost 6 logs with most conventional UV systems" - Ron Blutrich "So, at this point, our UV systems, it's an inline system. It's basically a section of pipe that happens to disinfect the water going through it. It's a single point of installation, a single point of service.
