Hunter, Jadiim, and Blasto are here for a roundtable discussion that had to be divided into two parts because it would have been a five hour long episode. It's tier list week over here at SCPT and we've decided now is the time to tackle all the generic technology. This wide ranging discussion is full of solid takes on the state of the game and the importance of tech overall. In this episode we tackle all the Level 0 and 1 tech of every color and we talk about Carrier 2, Fighter 2, Infantry 2, and Space Dock 2. Also if you like Magen Defense Grid we've got some content for youuuuu! Come the Kansas City Tournament (June 5-7): SCPT Intergalactical Kansas City Music provided by Ben Prunty.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, she's speaking with Daniel Coyle about his new book, Flourish, The Art of Building Meaning, Joy and Fulfillment.  What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy?  Daniel Coyle has spent the last few years trying to crack this code.  He talks about the transformation that happened during the famous story of the 33 miners trapped 2000 feet underground in a mine in Chile.  It turns that the key to survival was a leader who was willing to let go of control.  You can't command and control your way to flourishing--or surviving in a crisis.  Background on Daniel Coyle: Daniel is the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code, which was named Best Business Book of the Year by Bloomberg, BookPal, and Business Insider. Coyle has served as an advisor to many high-performing organizations, including the Navy SEALs, Microsoft, Google, and the Cleveland Guardians. His other books include The Talent Code, The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects, which was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves. Coyle was raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and now lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, during the school year and in Homer, Alaska, during the summer with his wife, Jenny, and their four children.

George C. Parker was an infamous con man. He sold the Brooklyn Bridge countless times. He sold Ulysses S. Grant's tomb. He sold Madison Square Garden. He sold the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He even sold the Statue of Liberty! Most often, the victims of his schemes were new immigrants who didn't speak English and were unfamiliar with America's public property laws. …but… was George C.

Chase Sue Wonders attended her first-ever Met Gala in a lilac Alexander McQueen gown inspired by ancient Roman wall murals she encountered on a trip to Pompeii. Her “Fashion is Art” look was layered with Tiffany jewels she says cost more than her life and a bodysuit underneath to keep the entirely sheer skirt camera-appropriate. The evening's highlights were countless. Emily Blunt freed her from a hedge after her dress got caught.. A bathroom visit resulted in an encounter with Tessa Thompson, who was loudly ripping off her synthetic nails and throwing them in the trash. On the dance floor during Stevie Nicks's surprise performance, Sui Wonders caught up with A$AP Rocky, a recent collaborator, who then stepped on the train of her dress. Hosts Chloe Malle and Chioma Nnadi brought their own reports from the night. Nnadi sat beside Margiela creative director Glenn Martens, who was fielding a steady stream of Rihanna fitting updates on his phone. Malle wore a persimmon gown by young American designer Colleen Allen, loosely inspired by Frederic Leighton's Flaming June. All three agreed: first stop after the gala, the GQ party; second stop, wherever the night leads. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Dr. Paul Conti is a psychiatrist, trauma specialist, and author whose work centers on one deceptively simple idea: that understanding yourself is the most powerful thing you can do for your mental health. In this conversation, we explore how the unconscious mind quietly sets the boundaries for how we think, feel, and move through life, and how much of what we assume is just "who we are" was actually formed long before we had the words for it.What struck me most in this conversation is Paul's insistence that looking inward doesn't have to be frightening. He introduces the concept of the generative drive, the part of us that moves toward creativity, altruism, and genuine contribution, and makes a compelling case that this is what separates a life that feels full from one that simply accumulates. We also get into the myths we build from isolated facts, why the traditional psychiatric model falls short, and what it actually means to bring compassionate curiosity to yourself.BiOptimizers - Best magnesium to enhance your sleephttps://www.bioptimizers.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off at checkoutTry LMNT & get a free sample pack https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro02:05 Assessing Mental Health Like Physical Health03:04 The Unconscious Mind and Its Hidden Influence06:30 How Identity Forms in Early Childhood08:23 Compassionate Curiosity as a Practice11:02 Empowerment, Agency, and the Healthy Self15:34 The Assertion, Pleasure, and Generative Drives24:26 What Humility Actually Means27:09 Ad: BiOptimizers28:18 Shame, Feelings, and the Lessons We Carry35:10 How Memories Build the Myth of Self42:32 Ad: LMNT43:41 Waking Up vs. Growing Up48:10 The Limits of Diagnosis-Driven Psychiatry51:07 What We're Really Striving For58:18 Self-Worth and External Achievement1:02:12 Anxiety as Adaptive and Maladaptive1:09:52 Defense Mechanisms and How They Shape Us1:16:51 Tools for Self-Inquiry and Lasting Change1:25:52 Repeated Patterns and Relational Wounds1:29:45 Hard-Won Growth and Gratitude1:32:12 Paul's Personal Story: Loss and the Path to Medicine1:37:17 Presence, Suffering, and the Art of Helping1:41:35 Closing Message: Your Mind Is Your Friend___________Episode Resources: https://www.drpaulconti.com/https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-Right-Powerful-Optimizing/dp/1538776049https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

There are companies that sell shoes. And then there are companies that shape the way an entire generation experiences them. Eastbay was the latter... and most people have no idea how improbable the whole thing was.Art Juedes and Rick Gering started Eastbay out of a store in Wausau, Wisconsin. Two coaches with 16 years of combined college education, zero business courses between them, and a vision that shoe stores in this country were failing athletes. No one specialized. No one had inventory. No one knew what they were talking about when you called. So Art and Rick decided they would be the ones who did.What followed was one of the most consequential stories in sneaker history... one that most of us lived through without ever knowing the people behind it.In this episode of Outside The Box, Nick sits down with Art and Rick to talk about the moment Nike pulled 40% of their business overnight because Eastbay was too successful at mail order, how Shaquille O'Neal showing up to a Nike meeting in all Eastbay gear helped get them the exclusive back, the tent sales in Wausau where Air Jordans moved out of a parking lot and lines stretched for half a mile, Kevin Plank pitching Under Armour to them before Under Armour was anything, and why they invested $100,000 in a digital camera in 1989 so they could produce a catalog every three weeks while Phil Knight was asking how they did it so fast.Nick's personal connection to Eastbay runs deep... four siblings fighting over one catalog until his mom finally ordered a fifth. He built the original Eastbay Blog for Sole Collector. And this conversation is, as he puts it, probably one of the most important sneaker history conversations he's ever had on any show.Art and Rick's new book, The Book of Eastbay, is available now at BookofEastBay.com. All profits go to the Little Warriors Foundation, a childhood cancer charity.More Sneaker Business Insights at TheSneakerNewsletter.com

Hey everyone, it's Jack here. I'm still out in the camper van writing a travel book – I'm really excited to share more on this soon. At the same time, we've been producing live events and YouTube videos – so there's been a lot going on. We'll be sharing audio from the live shows soon, as well as recording an old school Panpsycast episode at the end of May. In the meantime, I'm excited to share another conversation I've had for the new YouTube channel with Jonny Thomson on the philosophy of Epicurus. I confront Jonny on my verdict that Epicurus is the worst philosopher ever; and he does a tremendous job of telling me why I'm wrong. It's a great conversation, which i'm excited for you to hear it. So without further ado: here it is! Links Jonny Thomson, The Art of Enough (pre-order now!) Jonny Thomson, Mini Philosophy Philosophy Minis (Instagram) Philosophy Minis (TikTok) Jack Symes, YouTube

Photographer, director, and producer Mitch Epstein joins PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss his storied career in photography, environmental activism, and artistic influences. From early inspiration by Garry Winogrand to guidance from John Szarkowski, Epstein reflects on how he evolved into a research-driven, project-based photographer focused on environmental issues. He also discusses his work in film as a production designer and co-producer on Mississippi Masala (1991) and Salaam Bombay! (1988), and shares insights on privilege, longevity, and sustaining a life in photography. https://www.mitchepstein.net Mitch Epstein has photographed the landscape and culture of America for half a century. A graduate of Cooper Union, he became a pioneer of 1970s fine-art color photography.  Epstein has been inducted into the National Academy of Design (2020) and was awarded the Prix Pictet (2011), Berlin Prize (2008), and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2002). His work has been shown and collected by museums worldwide, including New York's Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery in Washington DC, The Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Modern in London, Museum of Modern Art in Paris, Los Angeles's Getty Museum and LACMA, the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, TX, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Recent exhibitions include “American Nature” (photographs and multi-media installations) at the Gallerie d'Italia museum in Torino, Italy (2024-25); “In India,” (photographs and films) at Les Rencontres d'Arles in the Abbey of Montmajour, Arles, France (2022); and “Property Rights” at The Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas (2020-21). Epstein's seventeen books, mostly published by Steidl Verlag, include Recreation (2022, 2005), Property Rights (2021), New York Arbor (2013), American Power (2009), and Family Business (2004), winner of the Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award. Epstein's mixed media work includes films, moving image with sound installations, and performance. In 2013, The Walker Art Center commissioned and premiered a theatrical rendition of his American Power series. Directed by Annie B. Parsons and Paul Lazar, the performance combined original live music by Erik Friedlander and live storytelling by Epstein; and included video, projected photographs, and archival material. In documentary film, Epstein was director of Dad and Retail (2003) and director of photography for India Cabaret (1988). He was production designer and co-producer for the feature films Mississippi Masala (1991) and Salaam Bombay! (1988). Epstein's most recent exhibition, American Nature, assembles three self-contained yet integrated photographic series (Old Growth, Property Rights, American Power); a multi-channel video-sound installation with tonal music by Mike Tamburo and Samer Ghadry filmed performing in the forest (Forest Waves), and a looped projection with music by David Lang, performed by Maya Beiser (Darius Kinsey: Clear Cut). Together these five pieces investigate notions of wilderness and human society; and their both collaborative and troubled co-existence. Epstein lives in New York City and Massachusetts.

1181. This week, we talk to Sarah L. Kaufman about verbs. We look at why English is a "manner verb" superpower and why babies often learn prepositions before actions. Then, we look at how choosing strong, dynamic verbs can actually save lives during a disaster and how specific words like "smash" can physically alter a witness's memory.Find Sarah L.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Executive Editor Natalie Orpett and Contributing Editors Ariane Tabatabai and Joel Braunold, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Art of the Heel.” As it approaches the 60-day mark, the war of Iran appears to have entered the “war of attrition” stage. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed by both Iran and the United States, as each side waits to see if the other will capitulate first. President Trump recently called off peace talks in Islamabad, in part because of purported internal disarray on the part of Iran—a perhaps unsurprising consequence of a two-month campaign of regime change. Meanwhile, the White House appears to have successfully pushed for and and then extended a ceasefire in the related theater of Lebanon, but it is already under strain from ongoing Israeli strikes and Hezbollah's ensuing refusal to disarm. What should we make of this new equilibrium? And does it suggest that there is any way out of the current morass in the near future?“Royally Falked.” King Charles is in the United States this week for the first state visit by a British monarch since Queen Elizabeth in 2007. But the Trump administration's latest round of antics toward the United Kingdom and other NATO allies may overshadow the trip. Over the weekend, Reuters reported that an internal Pentagon email suggested that the administration should explore withdrawing U.S. recognition of British control over the Falkland Islands and suspending Spain from NATO due to their refusal to join U.S.-Israeli combat operations against Iran. Other consequences may yet be in the offing. How seriously should we take these threats from the Pentagon? And how close are we to a permanent rupture in the United States's preeminent alliance?“Ballroom Blitz.” On Saturday night, President Trump was the target of a third assassination attempt since the 2024 campaign. This time, a California teacher plotted to target Trump and his senior advisers at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. In response, the administration quickly blamed Democrats for the heated, sometimes violent rhetoric they use in criticizing Trump and focused its attention on pressuring a federal court to end a civil case challenging the construction of the new White House ballroom, citing security concerns. What were some of our thoughts about this past weekend's events?In object lessons, Ari is taking control of the narrative with Split Fiction for the Switch 2. Natalie is taking herself out for a treat to Boulangerie Saint Georges near Eastern Market. Scott is taking a break from his own podcast to appreciate Iran: The Latest from The Telegraph.

Today's guest is someone so many of you already know and love from IG and TikTok—Loren Rosko—and her story goes way beyond the viral song parodies and infertility anthems.

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Sadly, violence is used as humor. Film heroes are depicted as violent offenders. Art imitating life—such as alleged assassin, Luigi Mangione, developing a fan base. Tragically, more life-threatening attempts are directed at leaders like President Donald Trump at the most recent White House Correspondents' Dinner. Responses from some...

Episode No. 756 features author Victoria Johnson and curator Emily A. Beeny. Johnson is the author of "Glorious Country: How the Artist Frederic Church Brought the World to America and America to the World," the first major biography of the most important and influential painter in the US nineteenth century. The book will be published by Scribner next week. Johnson's book tells the story of Church's life, and especially his travels even as she explains how Church's work engaged with the scientific and political worlds of his time. It is likely to be the authoritative source on Church's life for decades to come. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $35. Beeny is the curator of "Manet & Morisot," an exploration of the artistic exchange between Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot, now at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The show particularly focuses on the 15 years between 1868 and 1883, when Manet and Morisot shared perhaps the closest relationship of any two impressionists. It's on view in Cleveland through July 5. A fine catalogue was published by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in association with Yale University Press. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $57-70.

What if the way you get dressed every day is shaping more than your appearance? In this episode of Question Everything, Danielle speaks with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, known for shaping the iconic looks of Anne Hathaway, to explore the deeper psychology of style, identity, and intentional living. From styling Selena Gomez, Sarah Jessica Parker and more, to her full-circle connection to The Devil Wears Prada and her new book The Art of Intention, Erin reveals why getting dressed is more than fashion. It's a daily practice of self-definition. If you’ve ever wondered how to become the person you’re meant to be, this conversation reframes transformation as something you choose—one decision at a time. In this episode you’ll also learn: Erin’s full-circle journey: from working at Vogue to becoming a The Devil Wears Prada fan, to styling Anne Hathaway on the The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour What Erin has learned about fashion and pop culture from styling celebrities like Selena Gomez, Kerry Washington, and Sarah Jessica Parker The rise of “method dressing” and storytelling through red carpet fashion Why Erin believes “what should I wear?” is the wrong question, and what to ask instead The concept of intentional dressing and how it impacts confidence, identity, and performance The biggest lesson Erin learned from working at Vogue How to use fashion as a form of self-therapy and emotional regulation The “3-word method” to define how you want to feel each day Why most people disconnect from their personal style, and how to rebuild that connection The difference between dressing for the event vs. dressing for yourself Why criticism (and even harsh feedback) can be a creative advantage How small daily choices compound into major life direction shifts The role of intention in manifestation, success, and personal growth How many times a year you should be cleaning out your closet Why your closet might be holding you back, and how to turn it into a “portal of possibility” A new definition of transformation: becoming the you you were meant to be Make sure to check out Erin’s book The Art of Intentional Dressing here Follow Erin’s journey on InstagramSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've probably had at least one friendship belief you were sure about… until life proved you wrong. Maybe it was the idea that your two best friends are all you need, or that men just "do friendship better," or that conflict is the beginning of the end. These beliefs feel true until they don't.In this solo episode, Danielle gets personal about the friendship beliefs she once held that have completely shifted since doing this work. She pulls from the research, her own relationships, and nearly a decade of studying women's relational patterns to explain why some of our most popular ideas about friendship are actually keeping us stuck, and what to believe instead.

We talk a lot about biennials. Art is in some ways a very local, in-person thing. Yet artists and creators and writers are also part of a global conversation, looking at and thinking about each other across borders, and these big, recurring art festivals can serve as an opportunity or a prompt to think about what that bigger conversation. One of the biggest, the Venice Biennale, is coming up next month. It's centered around a show called “In Minor Keys,” curated by the late curator Koyo Kouoh. My colleague Jo Lawson-Tancred recently had an article looking at the artists in that show, comparing where they were from and how old they were to the last several editions, to see how the art conversation was evolving. Meanwhile, Ben Davis just published a big project this week, looking at the last four years of art biennials around the world, from the big ones in places like Istanbul, Gwangju, São Paulo, Sharjah, and Venice, to smaller or more experimental ones. He gathered all the names of artists to find out who has shown the most around the world since the 2022 Venice Biennale four years ago. Some are familiar names, some were total surprises. With Venice soon to open, Ben speaks with Jo to talk about what we've learned from our different projects about where the global art conversation has been and where it might be headed.

TODAY on the GWA Podcast: esteemed art historian Briony Fer on the avant-garde icon, Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The Professor of History of Art at University College London and a Fellow of the British Academy, Briony Fer is one of the leading art historians in the world. Writing and publishing extensively on modern and contemporary art, specialising in the history of abstraction in the 20th century, Fer has curated monumental exhibitions on artists such as Anni Albers at the Tate Modern, Louise Bourgeois at the National Museum, Oslo, Eva Hesse at the Fruitmarket, Mel Bochner at Whitechapel, and more But the reason we are speaking with Fer today is because she has also just curated an exhibition “Sophie Taeuber-Arp: The Rule of Curves” at Hauser & Wirth Paris, and published a stunning book on the great artist, dancer, performer, puppet maker, bag weaver, teacher, stained-glass maker, sculptor, architect, and so much more, Sophie Taeuber-Arp… Born in Switzerland in 1889, Taeuber-Arp is famously associated with the Dada movement, a group of artists who formed post-devastation of World War I to make sense of a nonsensical world. Performing dance routines set to Hugo Ball poetry and turning to her geometric abstractions, full of explosions of colour, that can look equally mechanical as they are made with a human hand – as Fer writes, "diagrammatic and decorative” – Taebuer-Arp was at the forefront of modernism, conjuring new ways of working with form and colour, and exploring – and twisting – the grid, the icon of modern art, for the modern world - and I can't wait to find out more.

Profit isn't about greed—it's about survival, and sometimes even saving a marriage. In this game-changing episode of the Untrapped Podcast, Keith Kalfas sits down with serial entrepreneur, business strategist, and FRAP founder Joshua Latimer. Discover the real-world strategies and frameworks behind FRAP (Frequency, Referrals, Average Ticket, Pricing) that have helped thousands of business owners double their revenue, boost profitability, and achieve life-changing freedom. Joshua Latimer breaks down actionable tactics for overcoming the challenges of rising costs, avoiding accidental non-profit syndrome, and unleashing the true power of pricing and business choreographing—even if you have humble beginnings. Don't miss detailed discussions, live strategy breakdowns, and inspiring stories that will reframe the way you look at your service business forever. Learn where you're missing hidden revenue, how to structure your pricing for maximum profit, and why joining a local or virtual FRAP chapter could be the single most important move you make this year.   In this episode, you'll discover: How to Double Your Business Using FRAP: Joshua Latimer explains the FRAP framework—Frequency, Referrals, Average Ticket, and Pricing—and details how this simple but powerful formula can help any business owner boost their profits dramatically. The Real Reasons Most Businesses Struggle: Joshua Latimer sheds light on why hardworking business owners often end up running unintentional non-profits, and shares actionable steps to fix this so you can build a genuinely profitable business. How to Raise Your Prices with Confidence: Learn the psychology and choreography behind effective price increases, including email strategies and customer communication that actually increase customer satisfaction instead of backlash. Mindset Shifts Needed for Success: Both Keith Kalfas and Joshua Latimer discuss the mental and emotional barriers to profitability and growth—and how breaking through these can change your business and life. The Dangers of Staying "in the Middle": Discover why being stuck between small and large—what Joshua Latimer calls "the death zone"—is the hardest part of business, and how FRAP can propel you beyond it. How to Implement Supply and Demand Pricing: Step-by-step advice on increasing your prices during busy seasons and employing discount framing to maximize perceived value and profitability. Community and the Power of Decentralized Coaching: Why learning, applying, and teaching FRAP in a local business community (FRAP chapters) multiplies results and leads to powerful collaborations. Real Stories, Real Impact: Hear emotional and inspiring stories from Joshua Latimer about business owners who have transformed their companies—and their lives—by applying these simple principles. "Everything is marketing. Marketing is everything. Everything is framing and pacing in the tone and the way that you explain, the way you articulate. All the people that make all the money know this stuff, and all the people that don't struggle." — Joshua Latimer   Topics Covered:  00:01:55 – Why FRAP Matters Joshua Latimer recounts his humble beginnings and highlights why so many small business owners struggle: costs are rising (insurance, fuel, payroll, equipment), but many don't raise prices or understand how to persuade or use proper business frameworks. This results in what Joshua Latimer calls "accidental non-profits" — businesses that barely break even or operate at a loss due to poor profit models. 00:02:26 – The Consequences of Ignoring Profit He details how increasing costs chip away at profits and makes it personal by sharing about a client who went from being deeply in debt to accumulating $50k in her business account after implementing FRAP, illustrating the transformative power of fixing the underlying business math. 00:04:49 – The True Cost of Not Knowing Your Numbers Joshua Latimer stresses that most business owners fear looking at their unit economics (the true profitability per customer), but doing so is essential. Before buying new equipment or hiring staff, he argues nothing is more crucial than knowing your numbers — that's what FRAP is for, and it costs creativity, not money. 00:06:02 – What is FRAP? He reveals that FRAP is an acronym and a framework for business profitability, based on understanding the math and psychology of your business, not just surface-level tactics like marketing or getting more leads. 00:12:21 – FRAP Defined After some build-up, Joshua Latimer defines FRAP: Frequency Referrals Average Ticket Pricing He emphasizes that while these sound simple, the depth comes from how you apply and choreograph each area, going beyond surface understanding. 00:12:48 – Pricing: The Starting Point for FRAP Joshua Latimer explains that implementation begins with the "P" (Pricing). He urges business owners to raise prices more than they think and provides strategic advice on how to do it without alienating customers, stressing that it's not price gouging but necessary to keep up with increasing costs. 00:16:03 – The Art of the Price Increase: Choreography He demonstrates a reframed price increase approach, turning it from a shame-filled "apology letter" to a positive "account update" with value-adding features and transparent, positive framing. This is the concept of choreography — strategically communicating changes to maximize acceptance and minimize backlash. 00:20:05 – The Power of a Price Increase Using a simple example, he shows that a 20% price increase doesn't just add 20% profit — it can triple your net earnings because all additional revenue (beyond covering costs) goes straight to the bottom line, illustrating why pricing is the most powerful profit lever. 00:26:30 – Profit is Not Greed: Reframing the Entrepreneur's Role He debunks the myth of profit as greed, likening good business stewardship to tending a garden rather than fighting over a finite "economic pie." When you deliver greater perceived value, higher profits are justified and beneficial for everyone — from your family to your customers and community. 00:31:10 – A Bonus FRAP Tactic: Supply & Demand Pricing Joshua Latimer introduces the advanced idea of supply and demand pricing, where services are always "on sale" at varying degrees depending on season/demand, but always based on an elevated baseline. This maximizes profit during peak times and drives revenue during slower periods with compelling discount framing. 00:43:01 – The Power of Community & Decentralized Coaching He explains how their model uses "decentralized coaching" through FRAP chapters: local, small groups that implement FRAP together, cross-promote, and innovate collaboratively — leading to faster, more creative breakthroughs versus going it alone. 00:54:03 – Fix the Model Before Scaling Joshua Latimer warns that marketing and scaling before fixing your business model ("the watermelon example") only accelerates losses. Fix profitability and processes first—otherwise, you just go broke faster by growing a broken machine. 00:55:59 – Success is About Math, Not Genius He closes by emphasizing that the most successful people in your industry aren't necessarily smarter — they just obsess over their math and business choreography. Anybody can learn this and see a transformation by putting in the work. Key Takeaways:  Profit First: Many entrepreneurs run accidental non-profits. The first step is to understand your "unit economics" — if you're not generating profit, nothing else matters. Your business must serve its shareholders (that's you!) with real returns or you break trust with yourself and your family.    Pricing with Purpose: Don't just raise prices — frame them right. It's not about gouging or shame. Strategic, choreographed price increases (with the right language and timing) instantly unlock much higher profits. Every dollar you raise above your costs drops straight to the bottom line.   Choreography Matters: Business growth is behavioral psychology plus math. The way you deliver messaging, handle objections, and present value determines your success.    Embrace Supply & Demand Pricing: Your services are more valuable at certain times. Peak season? Prices go up. Slow season? Offer discounts off a new, higher base price. This isn't gouging — it's matching value to demand and boosting profit.    Purpose-Driven Profit: Profit isn't greed — it's what allows you to breathe, care for your family, build for the future, and give back. Having "more than enough" is normal for entrepreneurs who master these levers. Helping others is only possible when your cup is full.   Master the Basics: Before you blow your budget on ads or fancy tools, fix your FRAP: Frequency, Referrals, Average Ticket, and Pricing. Nail this and your business can stand any economic storm — and actually enjoy the ride.    Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Connect with Josh YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JoshuaLatimer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meetjoshlatimer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshua.latimer.138911 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meetjoshualatimer   Resource Links Mentioned Jobber: getjobber.com/kalfas Rebolt Website AI: keithkalfas.com/rebolt CallRail Call Tracking: keithkalfas.com/callrail Website (All Things FRAP & Assessment):: https://warplan.com/ FRAP Chapters & Decentralized Coaching:  https://frapchapters.com/     Edited and Written by: Ma.

 Debt Weapon: John Perkins on Global Power Plays: The Art of The Steal | John Perkins What if nations aren't conquered by armies anymore, but by loans, fear, scarcity, and the quiet seduction of power? In this explosive conversation, former economic hitman John Perkins pulls back the curtain on how countries are controlled, how leaders are bought, and why the same machinery once used abroad is now being used on ordinary Americans.  But this episode goes deeper than geopolitics. It reveals how good people get trapped inside corrupt systems, not because they are evil, but because identity, debt, status, and fear make truth too expensive to tell.  In this episode, we explore: How John Perkins was recruited at 26, fresh out of the Peace Corps, believing he was helping nations grow  Why GDP can be a deeply misleading metric that hides elite extraction behind national "growth."  The four pillars of the economic hitman system: fear, debt, scarcity, divide and conquer  How Trump didn't invent the system, but made it visible, branded it, and turned it inward  Why attacking a nation often strengthens the very regime you claim to oppose  The difference between the American ideal people still believe in, and the darker mechanisms operating beneath it  Why China has outplayed the U.S. economically in much of the world, and what that signals about the future of power  The crucial distinction between a death economy built on short-term extraction, and a life economy built on long-term benefit for all life  John's five-question framework for how listeners can stop feeling powerless and begin becoming part of that life economy  Let's be clear, this isn't a partisan episode. It's a forensic look at how power actually moves, how identity gets manipulated, and what it might take to build something better.  About the Guest John Perkins is the bestselling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and the brand new: The Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hitman Presidency. A former chief economist, he now writes and speaks about global power, economic manipulation, and the urgent shift from a death economy to a life economy.  Resources John Perkins: https://johnperkins.org  About the Host Dov Baron works with elite leaders, teams, and organizations to decode the emotional source code driving behavior, power, culture, and decision-making, so they can lead from meaning, truth, and purpose rather than unconscious survival patterns.
