Your restaurant's most powerful marketing tool? The menu. In this episode, the team dives deep into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in your restaurant: the menu. From visual psychology and printing strategies to layout, material choices, and pricing tactics, this conversation is packed with practical tips to help you treat your menu like what it truly is—your #1 marketing and sales tool. You'll walk away with insights on font choices, color psychology, menu engineering, printing vendors, and even why leaving drink prices off the menu can increase profits. If you've ever shrugged off menu updates as an expense, this episode will change your mindset—and maybe even your margins. Key Takeaways: Your Menu Is Not an Expense—It's an Investment It's the first thing guests engage with when deciding how much to spend. A thoughtful, clean, and well-printed menu elevates perception and drives higher check averages. Design & Readability Matter Font size, layout, paper quality, and cleanliness all shape the guest's impression. Use negative space, legible fonts, and layout strategies like the Golden Triangle to drive selection. Strategic Printing Choices Use a local printer when possible—consider bartering or partnerships. Evaluate in-house printing if you need frequent updates. Menu holders, sleeves, and material durability should match your concept. Proven Profit Tips Use high-quality food photos for best-sellers (especially on laminated or in-house menus). Leave beverage prices off for pricing flexibility. Add visual cues to highlight high-margin items. Common Mistakes to Avoid Dirty or outdated menus, inconsistent updates, typos, or cluttered layouts. Overloading with too many items, especially in smaller operations. Practical Tools & Tech Use AI (like ChatGPT) to help write compelling, accurate menu descriptions. Establish an SOP for menu changes across online platforms, third-party apps, and POS systems.

Very few music creators really understand what audio mastering is, what it does, and when you need it… or not! There are plenty of people who think that mastering is some sort of “magical fairy dust” that, when sprinkled on a song or track, makes it much, much better.

Join me for this week's episode of TAXI TV, and by the end of the show, you'll understand why mastering was invented, the physics behind how it works, what it does sonically to your music, and when you should use it, or not.
Veteran CrossFit coach Michael DelaTorre @thecoachmiked joins the coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic to share wisdom gleaned from coaching an estimated 15,000 classes across multiple facilities. This conversation dives deep into the evolving nature of coaching across different environments—from young professionals in urban settings to diverse suburban populations.Mike reveals his coaching journey, which began with track and field in 2000 before discovering CrossFit while still a bodybuilder. His story highlights how the joy of seeing others progress became a driving force in his career, despite the modest pay and demanding hours. Through transitions between various facilities—Motown, Hoboken, Parabolic, and now Bison/Outlast—Mike learned valuable lessons about adaptability and maintaining core values. His time at a sports performance facility taught him to sometimes slow things down for longevity and simplify approaches for the average fitness enthusiast. As he notes, most people don't need complicated programming to get fit.Perhaps the most fascinating discussion centers around a philosophical shift: moving from "building culture through fitness" to "building fitness through culture." The hosts explore how creating welcoming environments and fostering relationships might be more sustainable and inclusive than the traditional high-intensity CrossFit approach. This represents not just a change in coaching style, but a maturation that comes only through extensive experience.Whether you're a coach seeking wisdom or someone interested in fitness community dynamics, this conversation offers valuable insights about maintaining passion through life's changes while creating environments where diverse populations can thrive. As Mike concludes, "Always find the joy in what we do"—advice that transcends coaching and applies to any meaningful pursuit.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness
John Ruhlin (1980–2024) was an American entrepreneur, speaker, and author best known for pioneering the concept of strategic gifting in business.

Send us a textWhen I stop and look at the state of gender - I, and all that identify as women - have LOTS to get mad about. Inequality in general, inability to drive a car in some countries, inability to own or inherit land in others, the paycheck gap in the US, being invisible when it comes to drug trials and the user experience in general up until recently (which is why airplane seats hurt our necks) etc, etc.But, today is not about gender - it is a journey into the intersection between divine feminine and divine masculine. It involves undoing old programming, parenting, teachings, that left no space for the two sets of being, not to mention the place where they intersect, collide, comingle. Let's get into it.Divine Fem and Divine Masc 101Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine were explained to me this way and I hope it resonates with you as well.Think of the Divine Feminine as the waters of a grand river; flowing; life-giving; dynamic; creating its own motion and course. Now think of the Divine Masculine as the riverbank; the steep sides and bottom that give the river structure, dimension, directing the flow, it holds in this precious resource, protecting the vibrant waters. Yin and yang symbols embody dualism - and that includes the divine feminine and divine masculine. Think of that black and white symbol for a second. The black swoop has a dash of white in its center, and the white swoop contains a bit of black. Together they bring balance, harmony, respect. They are sound, together a perfect whole.

Send us a textWhen it comes to the shed industry, the relationship between manufacturers and dealers can make or break a business. Rami joins Shannon to dive deep into the often unspoken tensions and opportunities that exist in these critical partnerships.The conversation tackles head-on the reality that not all dealers approach their shed business with the same level of commitment. Some make it their primary income source, investing heavily in growth, while others view it as supplemental income alongside other ventures. As Rami points out, "Both scenarios can work well if expectations are clearly established on both sides."Commission structures emerge as a major pain point for many dealers. At just 10% commission, even those selling a million dollars annually struggle to reinvest in marketing and growth. "That 10% needs to adjust," Rami asserts, recommending dealers negotiate higher rates or diversify with complementary products like carports that can create multiple revenue streams from the same customer.Perhaps the most powerful segment explores the 80/20 rule in dealer networks, where typically 80% of business comes from just 20% of dealers. This reality forces tough decisions about resource allocation and relationship management.

Fariba Bogzaran is an artist, scientist and pioneer of dream studies. Between 1986 and 1989 she conducted scientific studies on lucid dreams at the Lucidity Institute at the Stanford Sleep Laboratory.Fariba mixes psychology, art, contemplative practices, shamanism, Taoism, and more. Her artwork is inspired by her deep connection with nature and her collaboration with the hypnagogic and lucid dreaming states of consciousness. She coined the term Lucid Art, which views art as an epistemology, or a way of knowing.Fariba is co-author of Integral Dreaming and Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them. Our far reaching conversation explores themes in those books, including precognitive dreams, telepathic dreams, and mutual dreams. We dive deep into lucid dreams, including their multi-dimensionality and what Fariba calls hyperspace lucidity.We also look at how dreams inform déja vú, why physicists resonate with lucid art, experiences of light, voidness, and the non-dual, and why knowledge and realisations from dreams must translate to lucid waking.
Send us a textPassion for an industry can transform a job into a calling. That's exactly what happened to Rami, who describes himself as approaching the "healthy version of obsessive" when it comes to the shed and outdoor structure business. After 14 years immersed in everything from retail sales to manufacturing, he's developed insights that can benefit anyone in the industry.What starts as a conversation about Rami's journey quickly evolves into a masterclass on the differences between selling traditional wooden sheds versus steel structures. While shed customers might make decisions quickly, steel structure buyers—especially those investing in larger 30x40 or 40x60 buildings—often engage in a more methodical process. They've frequently been planning and saving for these purchases for years. This requires salespeople to demonstrate deeper product knowledge and patience.The geographical reach of competition creates another fascinating dynamic. While shed dealers typically compete within a 30-50 mile radius, steel structure competition can span 500 miles or more. With similar pricing across competitors, success hinges on expertise and eliminating friction from the buying process rather than simply offering the lowest price.Perhaps most valuable is Rami's advice on inventory strategy. While having physical buildings on-site creates immediate sales opportunities, the financial burden of extensive inventory has pushed many dealers toward built-to-order models. Thankfully, 3D configurators arrived just in time, allowing customers to visualize custom buildings even without physical inventory present.For anyone selling sheds or steel structures, Rami's perspective on honest communication resonates deeply. Saying "I don't know, but I'll find out" builds more trust than bluffing, and sometimes saying "no" helps customers overcome analysis by paralysis better than always saying "yes."Ready to transform your approach to shed and steel structure sales? Listen now to gain insights from someone who's mastered both sides of this specialized industry.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Union Grove LumberDigital Shed BuilderRealwork LabsiFAB LLCNewFound SolutionsSolar Blaster

In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris delve into the complex world of valuations, exploring both the theoretical foundations and the practical realities faced by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Peter begins by discussing the fundamental principles of valuation, using the metaphor of a "Golden Goose" to illustrate how discounted cash flow models are used to estimate a company's worth based on future cash flows.The conversation shifts to the venture capital landscape, where Peter notes that traditional valuation methods often don't apply due to the high-risk nature of early-stage startups. He emphasizes that while these models provide a theoretical framework, the actual process of valuation in venture capital is heavily influenced by negotiation and market dynamics.Jon counters with a more pragmatic view, suggesting that valuations are often inflated and less relevant than other terms in a deal. He shares examples of companies being valued at significantly higher amounts than their true worth, highlighting how VCs may use these valuations to secure favorable terms.Throughout the episode, the hosts discuss how the market has evolved, with valuations increasing dramatically over the past decade. They reflect on past deals, noting that what was once considered acceptable is now viewed as predatory, illustrating the shift in market norms and expectations.The conversation concludes with insights into the challenges of raising capital, emphasizing that sophisticated entrepreneurs are better equipped to navigate complex deals and avoid unfavorable terms. Overall, this episode provides a nuanced exploration of valuations from both the VC and founder's perspective, offering valuable insights into the art and science of negotiating value in the venture capital world.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812
This episode is brought to you by Oberle Risk Strategies: Insurance Broker and Insurance Due Diligence Provider for Search Funds and Other Small-to-Medium-Sized Businesses *This episode is brought to you by Boulay, the industry standard for Quality of Earnings, tax, and audit services, serving search fund entrepreneurs for 20+ years*One of the most common investment theses among acquisition entrepreneurs revolves around building an internal sales function where no such function has existed in the past. While this makes intuitive sense on the surface, just how easy is it to build a sales team from scratch? Do you hire the leader first, or do you hire an individual contributor first? Does it matter if your sales reps have experience in your particular industry? How do you evaluate the success of new hires if you have a long sales cycle? How do you change an incentive compensation plan in the middle of a fiscal year? Should lead generation be outsourced or brought in-house? How involved should a SMB CEO be in sales? These are just some of the many questions that we explore with my guest this week, Dave Prusinksi. Dave is the Chief Revenue Officer at SafeAI, a hyper-growth silicon valley company in the autonomous vehicle space. Prior to his current role, Dave spent 10 years as the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at FleetComplete, a technology provider to fleet-owning businesses around the world. Under Dave's leadership, FleetComplete grew from $6M ARR to $150M in total revenue, achieving an average 50% revenue CAGR for 9 of his 10 years. Dave played an integral role in the acquisition of 6 companies, leading the sales and marketing due diligence processes, and ultimately integrating the operations of the acquired businesses into that of FleetComplete. Dave was also a central member of the deal team helping to lead FleetComplete through multiple investment and acquisition rounds themselves, managing the sales & marketing due diligence processes in each instance. Dave has served as a Revenue Coach to several SMBs, working directly with their CEOs and Heads of Sales to optimize their sales and revenue generation processes. All of the companies with whom Dave has worked thus far have now exited with great success.

But, really how they show up every day and that there is science to say if they show up in a way that is credible, they're highly competent. That they're likable in one way, shape, or form, generally likable and they are consistent. That they have a frequently and predictable drumbeat of presence that people can create what we call parasocial relationships. Which is, everyone feels like they have a relationship with the CEO, even though they might see them in a town hall once a year.” – Lisa Colella-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:33): Getting to know Lisa*(07:27): Lisa's career journey*(12:42): Balancing informal and formal communication*(19:12): How psychology influences communication*(32:24): How CRA is navigating the AI space *(38:29): Blending science and creativity for better communication strategies-------------------Links:Connect with Lisa on LinkedInLearn more about CRA Admired LeadershipSubscribe to Admired Leadership Field Notes NewsletterTry AlexSubscribe to Confluence NewsletterConnect with Carolyn on LinkedInCohesion PodcastAbout Simpplr

Technology is a science. It's semiconductors and code and batteries.But Steve Jobs talked about how the iPad was playful and begged you to pick it up as much as he'd talk about its processor. The iPhone is a technological marvel, but Jobs spent a lot of time talking about how it felt in your hand, and the experience of opening the box.Job's insight, and the most important factor in Apple's success, was realizing that technology isn't merely a science. It's just as much an art.Thanks to my friends at Ramp -- the best expense accounting system I've seen. For more check out ramp.com/morgan.
