Send a textKristin Olson, Goldman Sachs' Head of Alternatives for Wealth and Asset and Wealth Management, sits down with us for the most candid, no-fluff conversation about private equity and private credit we've ever had. .She walks us through the very real benefits of investing in private capital while also answering the cynical questions: do “retail” investors in private equity products like evergreen funds and perpetual funds get the A-team investors? Are those structures getting the best deals? How do the fees compare to the fees on products for institutional investors? Plus, If more buyers flood the market, does that push prices up and compress returns? Kristin breaks down for us how this whole ecosystem actually works, she discusses the biggest shift in private markets right now, and the pros and cons of newer structures that aim to make private assets feel more like “normal investing.” Finally, we go deep on what investors should actually ask before putting money into private equity and private credit. Kristin talks us through how fees can be misleading, when carry is taken, hurdle rates, gating/redemptions, and what “liquidity” really means when markets get stressed. This is an episode every investor should listen to before putting private capital into their portfolio.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Visit https://iconnections.io/ to learn more about iConnections!Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Most solar asset owners still manage performance data the same way they did 10 years ago. Dan Leary, founder of Denowatts, says that needs to change. In this episode, recorded live at RE+ Northeast in Boston, Tim Montague sits down with Leary and Doug Macmillan of Portside Systems to explore energy accounting, a method for identifying exactly where solar production losses occur and what owners and operators should do about them. Denowatts is collaborating with Sandia National Laboratories to build what Leary calls "GAAP for solar," a common standard for reporting and benchmarking solar asset performance. If you manage solar assets or invest in solar projects, this conversation explains how better data practices lead to more predictable returns.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSDan Leary explains that most solar operators still manage data the way they did a decade ago, despite significant advances in monitoring and analysis tools. Denowatts built a smarter weather station (the Deno) and a real-time analytics platform to close that gap.Denowatts breaks down solar production losses into four categories: climate-related issues, modeling errors, external factors beyond anyone's control, and problems within the commercial boundary that owners and operators are able to fix. This framework gives asset managers clear direction on where to focus recovery efforts.Doug Macmillan explains Portside's role as the system integrator for the Denowatts platform on distributed generation sites. Portside handles design, equipment fabrication, delivery, and commissioning, working from their UL 508 panel shop.This episode is for solar asset managers, project developers, EPCs, and clean energy investors who want more from their performance data. With Denowatts and Sandia Labs working toward a common reporting standard, the solar industry is moving closer to the kind of financial transparency that attracts long-term capital. If you own or operate solar assets, the time to modernize your data strategy is now.Connect with Dan Leary and Doug MacmillanDan Leary Denowatts Doug Macmillan Portside Systems Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Key Takeaways:It is rarely the market. Most investors struggle because they look at everything instead of defining what they actually want. Asset type, size, location, zoning, cap rate targets, tenant profile, and condition. The more specific you are, the more seriously brokers will take you.A strong investor knows what they will not buy. If a deal hits a hard stop, walk away. There will always be another opportunity. The goal is to shrink thousands of potential properties down to a focused list you can actively pursue. Use simple back-of-napkin numbers to determine if rents and cap rates can realistically support your return targets. If it fails the quick test, move on.You only need to fully analyze a handful each year. A strong filter helps you cut 100 opportunities down to the 1 to 5 that actually deserve your time.When you present brokers with a clear Buy Box, you look like a closer, not a tire kicker. That alone increases the quality of deals you receive.

Most aspiring apartment investors quit right before momentum starts.What looks like failure is often the final friction point before proof of concept.In this conversation, we unpack what happens between learning and actually closing — and why that gap breaks most people.If you're serious about building real momentum instead of collecting education, the conversation doesn't stop here. Inside the Tribe of Titans multifamily investing community, we work through real deals together — live underwriting, capital raising conversations, and operator-level decision making.

What if the investment you've been ignoring is ignoring recessions, too? Stocks are floating at all-time highs. Everyone's calm. That's usually when things get weird. Matt opens this episode with a blunt take: when the market turns, investors don't get creative. They panic into real estate. The problem? Most people only know one version of it. So we brought on Matthias Gruenwald, a former German corporate exec who quietly built a real estate business around mobile home parks, the asset class most investors joke about and then completely misunderstand. This isn't a hype episode. It's a reality check.

In this episode, we break down what safe haven assets really are, why investors run to them during uncertainty, and why gold has been the big winner lately.

What if your most important responsibility is not your to-do list, your clients, or even your goals, but yourself? In this episode, I'm sharing a concept that has reshaped how I approach my work and my life over the past few years. It is simple, though not always comfortable. It is about protecting the asset and recognising that the asset is you.       This episode invites you to look at where you are overextending yourself and where you are not protecting the asset. You will be encouraged to identify a few practical ways to protect the asset and to notice the thoughts and feelings that surface when you consider implementing them. If you want to create work and a life that are sustainable, aligned and rooted in self-acceptance, this conversation will give you a powerful place to begin.       Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/267       Join us in the Powerful membership: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agencies aren't fragile because of bad systems but because everything runs through the founder. One unexpected hit and the whole thing wobbles. Today's featured guest shares the real-world test no agency owner ever wants: a hemorrhagic stroke that took him out overnight. What happened next is the part every agency owner needs to hear. Because his business didn't collapse. It kept moving, clients stayed, deals closed, and trust carried the weight. If your agency can't function without you, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar. Brian Franks is the founder of Where Eagles Dare, a premium branding and storytelling agency working with major retail brands like American Eagle and Five Below. He spent 20+ years rising to VP of Creative at American Eagle before launching his agency over a decade ago. In this episode, we'll discuss: Getting comfortable with a hard question How Brian built a resilient agency Why your network is the real asset Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

If you disappeared for 30 days (hospital, burnout, family emergency), would your agency come back stronger, the same… or on fire? Most agency owners don't like that question. Because deep down, they already know the answer. This is a question every agency owner should ask, especially if you're doing $1M–$10M, stuck in fulfillment, carrying everything in your head, and telling yourself, "I'll fix the systems later." Brian didn't plan to test his agency this way. In February 2024, he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and ended up in the ICU for a brain drain. It took weeks of recovery. No warning. And his agency didn't collapse. Here's why that matters. Brian Didn't Build a "Big" Agency. He Built a Resilient One. Brian spent 20 years at American Eagle, rising from graphic designer to VP of Creative. He worked with massive agencies and saw the billings. He also saw the waste and understood what actually mattered. So when he launched Where Eagles Dare, he didn't chase headcount or ego. He sought to build: A small, senior team A premium positioning Deep relationships, not vendor contracts An agency designed around his strengths That's the part most founders miss. They scale complexity instead of clarity. The Lie Agency Owners Believe A lot of agency owners think freedom comes after scale. More clients → more people → more systems → someday freedom. In reality, that path usually leads to: Team chaos Thin margins Constant Slack pings And a founder who can't unplug without guilt Brian flipped that by staying scrappy, limiting active clients, staying close to the work that mattered, and delegating the rest to people he trusted for years. So when life punched him in the face, the agency stepped up. Your Network Is the Real Asset When Brian went down, his network took over. A former American Eagle CMO stepped in to help lead. His wife helped close a major Five Below deal. Longstanding client relationships stayed solid There was no panic, mass client churn, or revenue freefall. That doesn't happen by accident. That happens when you: Play the long game Treat relationships like equity Build trust before you need it Most agencies don't fail because of bad marketing. They fail because everything depends on the founder. The Question You Can't Ignore If you were gone for a month, would your agency be worse, the same, or better? If the answer scares you, good. Because it means you're still early enough to fix it. The Real Goal Isn't Scale. It's Control Brian's story isn't about hustle or heroics. It's about building an agency that: Pays you well Respects your health Doesn't collapse without you Still excites you creatively That's the real win. And if you're tired of being the bottleneck, you're stuck in fulfillment, referrals are your only growth plan, or you're not paying yourself what you should… Then it's time to rebuild.

a16z investors Daisy Wolf and Eva Steinman talk with Bobby Samuels, cofounder and CEO of Protégé. They discuss the myth that we've run out of data for AI, how Protégé connects healthcare systems and other data holders with the major AI labs, and why real world data beats synthetic data for training models. Bobby also covers the growing demand for eval datasets, expanding beyond healthcare into video and audio, and what he's seeing from the biggest AI companies as they race to acquire training data. Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Let's talk about something that feels personal… but is actually wildly strategic. Naming your short-term rental or micro resort sounds fun (and it is!), but more importantly... it's positioning. It's perception. It's your first marketing asset. And I see so many owners starting with the name before they've ever gotten clear on their guest, their brand messaging, or the experience they're actually building. In this episode, I'm walking you through why that's backwards, and what to do instead. We're diving into real client stories, including why Freestone Lodge became Silvarra, how Josephine's Ridge was rooted in legacy and storytelling, and why Cabins on the Cumberland was a strategic SEO decision. Your name should signal a feeling. It should act like a magnet for the right guest. And yes, sometimes SEO matters, but it has to work alongside strategy, not replace it. If you've been stuck on what to name your property (or wondering if you got it right), this episode will give you a framework that supports bookings, brand equity, and long-term growth. If you're building something meaningful, don't let the name be an afterthought. It deserves more than five minutes and a ChatGPT prompt. Enjoy this episode! Connect with Steph: @theweberco

Die Welt wird neu sortiert! Ein viraler LinkedIn-Post des KI-Unternehmers Matt Shumer schlägt Alarm: Stehen wir vor einem massiven Umbruch in der Wissensarbeit und sind die Menschen weitgehend unvorbereitet, ähnlich dem Beginn der Corona-Pandemie? Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz tauchen tief in das Thema KI-Disruption ein. Sie debattieren, ob wir uns wirklich Sorgen um unsere Jobs machen müssen, oder ob das Ganze doch nur eine clevere Verkaufsmasche für KI-Premium-Abos ist. Erfahrt, warum Zschäpitz glaubt, dass eine Portion "Paranoia" an der Börse gerade nicht schadet, und warum Deffner trotzdem optimistisch ins "Jahr des Feuerpferdes" blickt. Außerdem zeigen die beiden, warum unter der Oberfläche eine Brutalo-Rotation läuft, wieso ein Welt-ETF das Chaos erstaunlich gut wegsteckt – und warum Dividenden-Aristokraten gerade wie eine Trutzburg wirken, während Big Tech vom „Asset-light“-Liebling zum „Capital-heavy“-Problemfall wird. Und am Ende gibt es die Wette, die alles auf den Punkt bringt: SAP gegen Nvidia. DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

Send a textIn this solo episode of Multi-Family Real Estate Investing by Mara Poling, Lauren Torres takes us beyond the pro-forma headline and breaks down what actually drives an asset's cash flow. From revenue assumptions and vacancy to operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures, and reserves, we walk through what must be forecasted — and what too many asset managers overlook. In a 2026 market where discipline matters, understanding cash flow at the asset level isn't optional, it's necessary. 

In this episode, I'm sharing how I think about value now, after years of refining my own pricing and helping dozens of people refine theirs. For a long time, many of us were taught to measure our work in hours and deliverables. But when I zoomed out, I realised my clients weren't paying for time. They were paying for what changed because of the work, what became easier, what started earning, what stopped feeling heavy. When your pricing doesn't reflect that wider impact, it creates pressure. You either feel underpaid or you overextend yourself trying to prove your fee.I walk you through the framework I created to solve this — TESSA. It's the system I've used for the last four years to help service providers stop guessing their rates and start pricing in a way that feels grounded and strategic.We look at Time, Energy, Skills, Specialism and Asset value, the five layers that exist in your work whether you're acknowledging them or not. When you price across all five, the numbers begin to make sense.If pricing has felt like the piece of your business that keeps wobbling, I recorded this for you. I want you to feel proud when you say your price. I want your business to feel expansive rather than draining. And I want you to have a structure that supports you long-term, rather than changing your rates every few months because you're unsure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy pricing based purely on hours keeps you cappedHow clients actually experience valueThe link between undercharging and burnoutWhat I mean by “high energy tax”How your experience and training should shape your pricingWhy specialism increases your perceived valueWhen asset value and ROI should be factored inThe 5-part TESSA framework and how to apply it“When you only price on time, you either undercharge for the depth of your expertise or you overwork to justify the price.”If pricing has been the thing you constantly spiral over, the thing that makes you second-guess yourself, over-deliver, or quietly resent your work join my new pricing bootcamp, Rave Your Rates.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training When Melany Robinson lost 70% of her agency's revenue overnight during COVID, she didn't just "cut costs." She rebuilt her team around trust, ownership, and shared sacrifice and learned why keeping C players is one of the most expensive mistakes agency owners make. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, culture, and making hard decisions without losing your soul. Guest Overview Melany Robinson is the founder of SproutHouse, a 30-person integrated communications agency serving hospitality, real estate, and lifestyle brands. She's led her agency through rebrands, crises, and COVID, emerging stronger, leaner, and clearer on what real team culture actually means. What You'll Learn Why COVID exposed the hidden cracks in most agency team structures The real cost of keeping "C players" during uncertain times How to handle massive revenue loss without destroying trust The mindset shift from "managing people" to leading a team Why retreats, alignment, and shared experiences matter more than perks Key Takeaways You can't afford C players, especially during down cycles Shared sacrifice builds loyalty; secrecy destroys it Letting clients out of contracts can be a long-term growth play Culture isn't words on a wall. It's how people show up under pressure Great leaders give clarity, not control The best teams row in sync or the boat doesn't move Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

But culture doesn't show up when revenue is up and clients are easy. It shows up when 70% of your revenue disappears overnight. That's exactly what happened to Melany Robinson, founder of Sprout House, when COVID hit. Hospitality clients vanished. Contracts evaporated. The "we'll figure it out" optimism most agency owners run on suddenly wasn't enough. And here's the part most people won't admit: This is where weak leadership gets exposed. The Myth: "If I Work Hard and Treat Clients Well, Growth Is Guaranteed" Before COVID, Melany believed what a lot of agency owners believe: Do great work. Act with integrity. Revenue will take care of itself. COVID blew that illusion up. Revenue is never guaranteed. Clients don't owe you loyalty. And culture doesn't magically hold when fear enters the room. So instead of hiding behind executive decisions, Melany did something most agency owners are terrified to do: She brought the team into the truth. Radical Transparency Beats Quiet Panic Sprout House told clients they could exit contracts. No penalties. Then Melany sat down with her team and laid out the reality: Revenue was down 70%. Something had to change. The choice wasn't who gets cut. It was how do we survive this together? The team chose shared compensation reductions over layoffs. Some people left. Others stayed. And that's when the real lesson emerged. The Hidden Cost of C Players C players aren't bad people. They just show up for themselves first. In good times, they're invisible and in hard times, they drain energy, margin, and morale. Melany realized something every scaling agency owner eventually learns the hard way: You can't afford C players during down cycles or up cycles. They don't row in sync. They protect their seat instead of the boat. On the contrary, A-players lean in. They sacrifice. They care about the whole. And those people are worth everything. Leadership Isn't Managing. It's Creating Clarity Melany doesn't pretend to be a great "manager." Great agency founders don't micromanage. They cast vision, set expectations, and get out of the way. Clarity isn't being bossy. It's saying: "This is what needs to be done. By this date. I trust you to figure out how." That's how you get leaders, not task-doers. Why Culture Is Built Outside the Office Sprout House invests heavily in retreats and real connection. They take the team horseback riding, snowmobiling, swimming in cenotes, and playing games by the pool. Not strategy decks. Not whiteboards. Why? Because trust isn't built in Zoom meetings. It's built when people see each other as humans instead of roles. And when things get hard, that trust is the difference between fragmentation and resilience. The Agency Owner Reality Check If you're honest, you've probably felt some version of this: You're stuck in fulfillment You're carrying people who aren't carrying their weight Revenue feels fragile You're not paying yourself what you should You know something has to change, but you're avoiding the decision This episode isn't about COVID. It's about leadership. And the uncomfortable truth that scaling requires subtraction before multiplication. The Question Is Simple Who's really in your boat? Because hope isn't a strategy. And C players are more expensive than you think. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

Subscribe to the OPEX Effect on SpotifySubscribe to the OPEX Effect on Apple PodcastsIn this episode of The Opex Effect, Jack and Brent break down the growing impact of options markets on stocks, volatility, and sector rotation. While the major indexes appear calm, massive moves beneath the surface tell a very different story. From software stocks and AI disruption to gold, silver, bonds, and the Nasdaq, they analyze how dealer hedging flows, gamma positioning, implied volatility, and options expiration cycles may be shaping market behavior more than headlines suggest. If you want to understand why markets can feel wildly volatile yet go nowhere, and how options positioning can influence short term price action, this episode provides a deep dive into the mechanics driving today's market environment.Main Topics CoveredWhy the market feels like the wildest calm market of all timeMassive single stock volatility versus muted index performanceSoftware stock weakness, AI disruption, and the so called SaaS apocalypseThe surge in options volume and the rise of zero DTE in major stocksHow dealer hedging, delta, gamma, and volatility flows impact equitiesThe historical tendency for markets to flip direction after options expirationRealized volatility versus intraday volatility and what is being hiddenBeneath the surface rotation into value, small caps, energy, and defenseGold and silver volatility spikes and what options volume signaled at the topRising demand for puts and what skew is telling us about downside riskCorrelation spikes, VIX behavior, and the risk of a volatility expansionHow positioning can create rapid market spasms in single stocks like Nvidia and TeslaWhy this environment may represent a staging area for a larger moveTimestamps00:00 Violently going nowhere and hidden volatility01:01 The wildest calm market of all time04:00 Introduction to The Opex Effect and options driven flows05:29 The growth of options trading and zero DTE impact11:00 Dealer hedging, delta, and how options move stocks13:42 Why options expiration can trigger regime changes16:22 Intraday volatility versus close to close volatility20:18 Extreme rotation beneath the surface21:00 Measuring expiration size with the lobster claw rating25:00 Single stock positioning and March expiration risk27:35 Core one month correlation warning signals33:00 Rising put demand and what skew reveals36:45 Asset rotation in bonds, gold, bitcoin, and tech43:06 Correlation spikes and crash risk setup46:40 The quickening of volatility and single stock spasms

#689: Most people think forgetting a name means their brain is failing.  Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neurologist who taught at Johns Hopkins and Harvard, sees thousands of patients convinced they have Alzheimer's – only to discover they're dealing with poor sleep or stress. Dr. Fotuhi joins us to break down the difference between cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. He explains why chronic stress physically shrinks your hippocampus — the thumb-sized memory center in your brain — and how twelve weeks of lifestyle changes reversed cognitive decline in 84 percent of his patients. We talk about the five hidden taxes draining your brain: sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, junk food, chronic stress and mental laziness. Scrolling social media after work counts as mental laziness, even if your day job involves intense focus. Dr. Fotuhi offers a different framework: five pillars that compound over time. Exercise ranks first because it multiplies mitochondria in your brain cells, reduces inflammation and generates new neurons in your hippocampus. Walking 10,000 steps daily cuts Alzheimer's risk by 50 percent. Sleep comes second. Your brain rinses itself during deep sleep, flushing out amyloid — the core protein in Alzheimer's disease. One night of poor sleep increases amyloid in your brain. We cover nutrition (skip the junk food debate), mindset (heart rate variability breathing reduces Alzheimer's footprints) and brain training. Dr. Fotuhi memorizes 70 names in a single lecture and explains his technique for remembering credit card numbers using mental imagery. The conversation covers London taxi drivers who grew their hippocampus by memorizing 10,000 streets, why stress management beats supplements, and how Swedish students learning Arabic increased their brain volume in three months.

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, speaks with Joel Hart, Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer at Victory Park Capital, about the growing concern of fraud risk in asset-backed finance (ABF) and private credit. As insurance investors increase exposure to these sectors, Joel offers a candid look at why borrower misconduct tends to spike in late-cycle markets and outlines the types of fraud currently emerging such as double pledging, falsified collateral, and manipulated reporting.   Joel also shares how Victory Park Capital's independent risk function, data-driven monitoring systems, and hands-on portfolio management help mitigate these risks across the investment lifecycle. From the cultural importance of being willing to walk away from deals to key due diligence questions insurers should ask ABF managers, this episode delivers timely, actionable insights for insurance allocators navigating a complex credit landscape.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Mike Wehrs, CTO of TieTechnology, about the upcoming launch of Genie 1.1 and the company's broader mission to reposition voice as a fully integrated component of modern IT infrastructure. TieTechnology focuses on making voice a “first-tier partner” within business systems rather than a disconnected afterthought. Genie, the company's SMB product family, provides a backend softphone capability for PCs along with applications that connect voice into tools such as Slack, CRMs, and EMRs. With Genie 1.1, the company is deepening its ability to capture, transcribe, summarize, and structure voice interactions so that the most valuable customer data—what was actually said—flows directly into business systems. “AI is not magic,” Wehrs noted. “If you don't have good data going into the system, you're not going to get the results out of it that you want.” He emphasized that many organizations layer AI on top of incomplete infrastructure, resulting in underperformance. Genie addresses that gap by cleaning audio streams, identifying speakers, summarizing conversations, and delivering structured data—often in JSON format—into CRM environments. The result, according to Wehrs, can represent as much as a 40 percent increase in high-quality CRM data, driving better customer support, marketing automation, and operational insight. For MSPs, the opportunity is twofold. First, Genie simplifies voice integration through straightforward APIs, eliminating the need to understand complex SIP stacks or telecom architecture. Second, it opens new revenue potential by allowing MSPs to modernize dated phone systems and embed voice-driven intelligence directly into client workflows. As Wehrs framed it, voice should become as native to the PC environment as networking did in the Windows 95 era—fully integrated, flexible, and foundational to digital operations.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agency owners talk about selling someday, but very few actually build with that outcome in mind. They stay deeply embedded in delivery, sales, and decision-making, hoping an exit will magically appear later. In this episode, that myth gets dismantled. Today's featured guest, former owner of Dot & Company, shares how she intentionally designed a productized agency that could run without her long before an acquisition was even on the table. After successfully selling Dot & Co to E2M, she reflects on building with exit thinking from day one, how she connected with the right buyers, how she knew it was the right deal, and what genuinely surprised her about the process. Taylor McMaster is the former owner of Dot & Company. She built and sold a productized agency specializing in fractional account management for agencies and successfully exited to E2M after designing the business to operate without her long before the deal was on the table. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build an agency you can step away from, and one someone would want to buy, this conversation sets the stage. In this episode, we'll discuss: Making the decision to build a sellable business early on The role that uncloked scale The sales trap Why her exit felt easy Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

How to Build an Agency You Can Sell Many agency owners say they want to sell one day, but are building a business that tells a very different story. They're still on every client call. Still approving every deliverable. Still the only one who can close deals. Still the glue holding everything together. That's not an agency. That's a very stressful job. For her part, Taylor decided early on that she didn't wait until she was exhausted to think about an exit. She designed the business for it. Exit Thinking Changes Everything About a year into building Dot & Co, Taylor made a quiet but powerful decision: "If I want an exit someday, I can't build this like a lifestyle business." That one thought changed how she hired, delegated, and structured the company. Instead of asking, "How do I do this better?" She asked, "How do I make myself unnecessary?" That meant systematically removing herself from every critical lane: Fulfillment People management Operations Admin Finance Not overnight. Not perfectly. But intentionally. The First Hire That Most Agency Owners Avoid Most agency owners start by hiring delivery help. However, there are multiple ways to go about this, especially if you understand where your expertise lies and where someone else could be doing a better job. Taylor hired a people manager early because she knew managing humans was her weakest skill and her biggest future bottleneck. That one hire unlocked scale. Why? Because resource-heavy agencies don't break because of strategy. They break because of people chaos. The Agency Sales Trap and Lesson Learned Like most founders, Taylor stayed in sales for a while. Eventually, she tried to step out and hit friction. Sales slowed. Messaging got inconsistent. Results dipped. For her, the lesson was that founder-led sales works because you know the stories, the nuance, the pain. Her hindsight advice is gold for any agency owner: Get really good at sales first, then teach it or bring in a true closer once the system exists. Too many owners abdicate sales before they've productized it. That's how pipelines dry up and panic hiring begins. Creating an Easy Exit… Because the Work Was Done Early By the time E2M acquired Dot & Co, Taylor had already: taken a 6-month maternity leave, removed herself from day-to-day operations and watched the business continue to grow without her So when the deal closed, there was no scramble. No identity meltdown. No team revolt. Her team was excited. Clients were curious but optimistic. And Taylor was ready. Finding Identity Without Being Trapped By Your Agency Taylor realized something most agency owners avoid: You can love your business without owning it. When your identity isn't trapped inside your agency, you make better decisions. You stop hoarding control. You stop being the bottleneck. You build something that actually has value with or without you. If you're stuck in fulfillment… If your team can't move without you… If you're scared to step back because everything might break… That's not a failure. It's just a sign you've built around you instead of systems. And that's fixable. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential?

Jeffrey Epstein was an asset, but not a traditional, state-controlled intelligence asset and certainly not a Russian-owned operative. He functioned as a free-agent asset, meaning he was useful to many power centers simultaneously without being loyal to any of them. He provided services that powerful people and institutions could not provide for themselves openly: access, secrecy, trafficking logistics, financial maneuvering, and deniability. His value came from non-exclusivity, not allegiance. Russia was part of his operational environment, just as the United States, Europe, Israel, and other regions were. Epstein worked with Russian interests where it benefited him, particularly through trafficking pipelines and financial interactions, but he did not work for Russia. Treating him as a singular Russian spy fundamentally misunderstands both Epstein and how power actually operates.Epstein thrived in gray zones where criminals, oligarchs, intelligence services, and elites overlap, extracting profit and protection from all sides. His greatest protections came from Western institutions, including prosecutors, banks, and political elites, not from Moscow. The Russia-only narrative serves as misdirection by externalizing blame and shielding domestic systems that enabled him for decades. Understanding Epstein as a free-agent asset expands accountability rather than narrowing it, implicating global financial, legal, and political structures instead of offering a convenient foreign scapegoatto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Food halls are no longer just a trend—they are a high-impact amenity for improving a property's dwell time, leasing velocity and NOI. Recorded at Central Perk in Times Square, a quartet of experts from Colicchio Consulting and CBRE explain how the best food halls prioritize operations and programming, new beverage and evening strategies, the lowdown on operator selection and deal structures that offer better risk-sharing and returns.- Food halls aren't food courts: Independent concepts + community + beverage drive performance.- Hybrid work has changed the operating model: Fewer office days demand longer-hour, programming-led models.- Conversions can happen everywhere: Converting buildings to their highest and best use can work for both offices and food halls, especially in suburban markets.- Alignment between operators and landlords: Vendor stall flexibility and percentage-rent leases can benefit operators and investors.- Market snapshot: Colicchio Consulting believes the sweet spot of sizing is around 10,000–15,000 sq. ft. with average buildout costs around $400/sq. ft., depending on the market.
