On today's episode, we revisit the concept of 'Required Secondary Powers,' a topic I first explored back in 2019. In this remastered version, I dive deeper into how these secondary powers are critical not only in superhero lore but also in business and personal success.

Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam? A big one, like on a major highway that runs through a large city? You know, the good ones where you're parked on the highway next to the speed limit sign that mocks you with a limit of 70 miles per hour. If you make progress at all, it's only inches, or if you're really lucky, feet at a time.Then, all of a sudden, you get past whatever the cause was—the major off-ramp, the accident, or the toll booth/bridge—and the traffic parts like Moses and the Red Sea. You're free, quickly forgetting the stress and frustration of the mess behind you. You have just experienced a bottleneck.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In today's episode, I explore the question of who is more likely to succeed: the hard-driving individual who doesn't mind stepping on others, or the nice guy who helps those around them?I dive into research by Professor Adam Grant, who studied this very topic and found that, while nice guys do sometimes finish last, the aggressive, self-serving types don't come out on top either.Grant's study identifies three types of people: Takers, who are aggressive and self-focused; Matchers, who help others but keep score with an “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” mentality; and Givers, those who help without expecting anything in return. Tune in to learn which type might be the most successful in the long run and how these insights can be applied to business and life.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In this follow-up to my tariff episode, I break down the latest developments—including the 90-day pause on most tariffs (except China's)—and what they mean for your business. I share how market reactions, supply chain shifts, and rising costs might affect you, and give practical, experience-based strategies to help you stay steady through uncertainty. From managing debt and diversifying suppliers to reading political trends without getting political, this episode is all about planning so you never have to panic.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

What do Stan Lee, Grandma Moses, Colonel Sanders, and Samuel L. Jackson all have in common? They didn't find their biggest success until later in life. In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your story. Whether you're stuck in a dead-end job or feeling like your best years are behind you, remember—Stan Lee nearly quit comics at 38, and instead went on to become a legend. As long as you're still drawing breath, there's time to start something new. Let's talk about why your greatest chapter might still be ahead.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

Why call it an "Origin Story" instead of "Getting to Know Isaiah"? With this being my third episode, I felt it was the right time to share more about who I am and where I come from, but that's not the main point.

In this episode, I compare the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) to highlight a powerful lesson about choosing your career. DC had the advantages, but Marvel succeeded because they followed their passion—not just the money. I've found the same to be true in business. Too many chase cash and end up empty. I believe your career should align with what you love—or could grow to love—because when you pursue purpose, success tends to follow.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In today's episode, I break down the new tariffs that started this spring—taxes on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China—meant to boost U.S. industry and jobs while trimming our trade gap. I look at what happened with steel tariffs a few years back: prices spiked, then dropped, and some American jobs came back. I cover how this could hit your business—short-term cost bumps or client boosts, longer-term growth or grind—and give you steps to stay ready, like spreading out suppliers or eating costs now, so you're set no matter what comes.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In this episode, I dive into the economic ripple effects of wage policies, examining how increased wages can impact everything from consumer prices to local economies. I also highlight the importance of market-driven wages with a deep look at how Chick-fil-A's competitive pay and employee benefits foster loyalty and profitability. By using this example, I show that paying good wages, based on market conditions, can lead to better outcomes for both businesses and their communities.

In todays episode I dive into the often-overlooked factors that influence the concept of a living wage. I discuss how benefits, career progression, and local cost-of-living differences impact financial security beyond hourly rates. I also examine how entry-level jobs foster valuable skills and long-term growth, while exploring the challenges employers face with increased wages, including automation and job loss. By understanding these factors, we gain a more nuanced view of the living wage debate.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In this episode, we tackle the complex debate surrounding the living wage, shedding light on common misconceptions and revealing the realities behind wage policies. We'll discuss California's recent decision to set a $20 minimum wage for fast food workers, which has resulted in widespread job losses and business closures, challenging the belief that raising the minimum wage universally benefits low-income workers. As we explore key data, we'll differentiate between the concepts of "minimum wage" and "living wage"—two terms often conflated in policy debates. By examining the demographics of minimum wage earners and their actual living situations, we aim to uncover whether higher wages truly alleviate poverty or, in some cases, create additional financial strain.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In this podcast episode, I delve into the complex interplay between business and politics, underscoring the risks companies take when incorporating political messaging into their operations. Drawing on examples like Disney and Bud Light, I discuss the "Get Woke, Go Broke" phenomenon, where embracing far-left "Woke" ideologies can lead to significant setbacks and financial losses. I highlight Disney's acknowledgment of this impact in its SEC filing and Bud Light's controversial move, resulting in a 30% sales loss and a persistent boycott. Advocating for a balanced approach, I compare the intrusion of politics into business operations to a potential cancer that undermines hard work. I conclude the episode with a call for businesses to navigate the delicate balance between public opinion and political involvement thoughtfully.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

The Neuroscience of Subliminal Messaging: A Small Business PerspectiveUnlocking the Hidden InfluenceWelcome to the Atheoz, where we unravel mysteries, one neuron at a time. I'm Jason, your cognitive sherpa, and today, we're diving into the fascinating world of subliminal messaging. Buckle up, because this isn't your average brainwave.Segment 1: Blink and You'll Miss ItPicture this: our brains are like high-speed data processors. But even the fastest supercomputer needs a moment to chew on visual information—30 to 50 milliseconds, to be precise. Now, meet subliminal messaging. These sneaky cues waltz into our gray matter faster than a caffeine buzz. They slip past our conscious gatekeeper, whispering secrets to our subconscious.So, how can small businesses harness this neural magic?Segment 2: The Subtle Not-So-SubtleFirst, let's debunk the myth. Subliminal isn't always subtle. Imagine a ninja tap-dancing in your brain. That's subliminal messaging. Now, break it down:The Message: It's the catalyst—the nudge or distraction. For your business, it could be a logo, a color scheme, or a catchy jingle.The Response: What do you do because of that message? Buy, click, or linger? Your brain dances to this tune, regardless of your conscious awareness.So, how can you use this? Let's explore.Segment 3: The Lab ExperimentScientists love playing mind games. In labs, they showed folks mundane scenes—a kid munching a sandwich, for instance. Easy-peasy, right? But here's the twist: hidden in those milliseconds between scenes were subliminal messages. Ice cream cones (positive vibes) or burning houses (not-so-positive vibes).The results? Ice cream equals good mood; inferno equals bad mood. Your business can orchestrate similar symphonies.Segment 4: The Small Business PotionReady for the magic potion? Here's how:Branding Whispers: Your logo, font, and colors—they're subliminal cues. Choose wisely. They'll sway decisions before your customer even blinks.Website Spells: Arrange elements strategically. That “Buy Now” button? It's a subliminal prod. Make it dance.Social Sorcery: Subtle nudges in your posts—like emojis or power words—ignite action. Your brain's dancing shoes are on.Segment 5: The Ethical EnchantmentBut tread lightly. Subliminal isn't mind control. It's a gentle breeze, not a hurricane. Respect boundaries. And remember, your customers are savvy dancers. They'll spot forced moves.Conclusion: The Unseen RipplesSo, fellow entrepreneurs, embrace the subliminal waltz. Your business cards, your storefront, your emails—they're all whispers in the neural wind. Use them wisely. Influence without intrusion. And may your subliminal symphony lead to a standing ovation.Until next time, this is Jason from the Atheoz Blog, signing off.

Ride through the tangled jungle of small business organization. As someone who's wrestled with chaos (haven't we all?), Jason shares practical tips and relatable struggles. Let's break it down:1. The Struggle is RealJason admits that his desk resembles a Jackson Pollock painting—sticky notes, coffee rings, and existential questions galore. But fear not! Proper documentation, time management, and automation are our allies.2. The Ledger of LifeFinancial records are our compass. Jason emphasizes recording every transaction weekly. Customer billings, vendor payments—into the proper account they go. And don't forget those copies of invoices; tax season waits for no one.3. Deadlines: The Silent ScreamDeadlines haunt Jason's dreams, but he's armed with project management software. Set deadlines, assign tasks, and upload docs. Suddenly, you're the Gandalf of organization—keeping chaos at bay.4. The Crystal Ball of Planning AheadPicture Gandalf with a crystal ball. That's you! Plan ahead: schedule social media campaigns, automate email marketing, and skip meetings when an email will do. Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams are your trusty sidekicks.So, fellow chaos navigators, raise your coffee mugs to staying organized. Even superheroes spill coffee sometimes. Until next time, this is Jason signing off from the Atheoz Podcast. Keep those sticky notes handy, and may your spreadsheets be ever accurate.

Buckle up as we dissect McDonald's social media strategy and uncover the secrets behind their digital triumphs.McDonald's: A Giant in the Digital LandscapeThe Golden Arches and the Digital PlaygroundMcDonald's needs no introduction. With its golden arches spanning continents and its Happy Meals delighting generations, this fast-food giant has etched itself into our collective consciousness. But what about its digital footprint? Let's dive into the stats:Facebook: A whopping 81 million likes Twitter: A cool 250,000 followers Instagram: A staggering 4.4 million followers Yes, you read that right. McDonald's isn't just flipping burgers; it's flipping the script on social media. So, how did they achieve this global dominance?The Art of Going LocalWhile we focus on the UK accounts for our stats, McDonald's doesn't play favorites. They've got location-specific accounts sprinkled across the globe. From Tokyo to Timbuktu, each McDonald's outpost tailors its content to suit local tastes. Why? Because menus, promotions, and restrictions vary, and nothing says “personal connection” like posting in your mother tongue. Take a peek at McDonald's Nicaragua, where every post dances to the rhythm of Spanish.Humor, Relatability, and the McMagicMcDonald's isn't just about Big Macs; it's about big laughs. Their social media channels exude humor and relatability. On Twitter, they serve up witty hashtags and Hash Browns (yes, you heard that right). It's like having a chat with that funny friend who always knows the best punchline. And guess what? We're lovin' it!Behind the Scenes: The ChallengesBut wait, not everything is a Happy Meal. McDonald's faces its share of challenges. Sarcastic comments, amusing quips, and the occasional disgruntled customer—social media serves it all. One bad review spreads faster than a supersized fry order. Yet, McDonald's tackles it head-on, sometimes with a side of humor. Remember, laughter is the best sauce—even in the digital realm.ConclusionSo, there you have it—the McDonald's social media saga. From golden arches to golden tweets, they've conquered the digital playground. Next time you scroll through your feed, tip your hat to the McGeniuses behind those witty posts. And remember, whether you're in London or Lagos, McDonald's speaks your language—one hashtag at a time.Stay tuned for more intriguing insights, hosted by yours truly, Atheoz. Until next time, keep those fries crispy and those likes rolling in!

Today I am going to start with a question. Who do you think is the most successful type of person in general. The hard driver who does not care who they step on, or the nice guy? Well, a professor named Adam Grant did a study on this very topic. You can find an article about it here. In his study, he actually found that in a sense nice guys do finish last, but the hard-driving one does not win either. He found there were three types of people, Operators the aggressive selfish types, Matchers, The general public who do things for others but keep score “I scratch your back you scratch mine” type, and Givers.For the previous Remastered episode click here.Remastered Series Season 1, Episode 4: A life Lesson From Stan LeeGet your free 1/2 hour consultation by using our contact page.To transcribe your work, Happy Scribe.coJoin the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast FB group by clicking HEREThanks for listening to the O'Connor Bootstrap podcast, an Atheoz business solutions podcast.You can reach out to me at Isaiah@ballongeventbyraa.com If you find value in my podcasts please subscribe and share.Learning made easy for the busy entrepreneur, www.Audible.com /BootstrapPay Pal paypal.me/IocPodOur sponsors:Learning made easy for the busy entrepreneur, Audible.com For free images check out www.freepik.omFor free icons flaticon.comFor free images check out www.freepik.omTo transcribe your work, Happy Scribe.co Travel in style with Tilley Or if you need to monetize your content check out AWINUntil next time, I have been,Your Friendly Neighborhood Entrepreneur, Isaiah O'Connor
