The US is now surpassing China in GDP. Soon the US will overshadow China. More oil in the US has been found. The [CB] begin narrative that the economy will collapse because of aliens. Trump admin says the US economy is rigged. The [DS] entrenched dark system is being exposed to the people. The people want the illegals removed from the US if they commit a crime.

Now they're scrambling because tariffs expose their reliance on U.S. markets—$1.2 trillion in annual EU-U.S. trade hangs in the balance. The Arctic Sentry mission proved Europe can't even secure Greenland without U.S. backing. This isn't about “retaliation”; it's about accountability. Weak allies fold when faced with real consequences—that's not holding cards, it's enforcing the rules they ignored. https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2013227441519796435?s=20 https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/2013271683818287339?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2012976935660302414?s=20   https://twitter.com/SecretaryBurgum/status/2013016697196740975?s=20   https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/2013237265779102013?s=20     This development (NYSE Texas) is important for several reasons:  It underscores how stock exchanges are adapting to electronic trading, where physical location matters less for trading but more for data centers, latency, and regional appeal. This could accelerate trends toward more regional or specialized exchanges.   Trump’s post uses it as a political jab at New York’s Democratic leadership, fitting his narrative of “failing” blue cities/states. As president in 2026, it amplifies debates on federal vs. state economic policies, regulations, and urban decline.    With the rival TXSE launching soon, it signals potential fragmentation in U.S. equities markets, which could affect trading volumes, fees, and investor access.  Does This Create Competition with Wall Street?Yes, but indirectly and in a limited way. Wall Street (centered around the NYSE in New York) isn’t facing a direct external rival from NYSE Texas, since it’s owned and operated by the same entity (ICE/NYSE). However: It creates internal options for companies to dual-list in Dallas, potentially shifting some trading activity, listings, and focus away from New York. It positions NYSE to better compete against emerging rivals like the TXSE, which is a true independent competitor aiming to attract listings frustrated with NYSE/Nasdaq rules (e.g., on diversity or fees). Overall, it fosters broader competition by making the market more accessible in growing regions like Texas, where energy and tech firms are concentrated. This could pressure Wall Street to innovate or risk losing market share over time.   By enabling dual listings and relocating operations (e.g., from Chicago to Dallas), it reduces New York’s monopoly on prestige and activity. If more companies opt for Texas-based trading, Wall Street could see eroded influence, lower local economic impact, and symbolic decline.    It allows Trump to attack Democratic leadership in New York (e.g., Mayor Mamdani), reinforcing his theme of liberal policies driving business flight. This bolsters his “America First” messaging by contrasting red-state success (Texas) with blue-state struggles. Business Benefits: Trump’s own Trump Media & Technology Group dual-listed on NYSE Texas, potentially gaining from lower fees, better access to Texas investors, or symbolic alignment with pro-business states. https://twitter.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2013040092101714295?s=20   ballooned 85.9% from 2019-2024, hitting $1.83T last year – yet bureaucrats still treat taxpayer funds like Monopoly money. This isn’t just bad math; it’s systemic rot. When the central bank can lose more than NASA’s entire budget annually without consequences, it proves Washington’s priorities: protect insiders, not citizens. The solution? Audit every dollar, claw back wasted funds, and restore transparency. Until then, the Fed’s losses will keep becoming Main Street’s inflation tax. Bank of England must plan for financial crisis sparked by aliens A former analyst at the central bank has urged governor Andrew Bailey to put contingencies in place to prevent collapse if alien life is confirmed The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life, one of its former policy experts has claimed. Helen McCaw served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK's central bank, preparing for events that could impact the economy. She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank's governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may one day confirm we are not alone in the universe. McCaw, a Cambridge graduate, believes a declaration of that magnitude would send shockwaves through the markets and could trigger bank collapses and civil unrest.

Employee Turnover in Interior Design Firms: What to Do When a Team Member Quits Here is your calm leadership framework for replacing a team member, redesigning roles, and protecting capacity. When a team member leaves, most interior design firm owners feel two things at once: operational disruption and emotional impact. Projects don't pause, clients don't wait, and the principal often ends up carrying everything again—quietly, constantly, and at a cost. In this episode of Design Business Freedom, Melissa Galt—interior design business coach and former firm principal of 30 years—shares how strong leaders handle team departures with clarity instead of urgency. You'll learn what matters when an employee quits, how to stabilize the firm, and how to fill the gap strategically without slipping into over functioning or burnout. This episode is especially for established interior designers and design firm principals who are growing teams and managing real business complexity—and want a calm, proven approach to staffing transitions. You'll learn how to: (03:04) Avoid the costly mistake of rushing to replace the person (04:30) Audit the role before rehiring (and uncover what really failed) (05:24) Decide whether you need a like-for-like replacement—or a redesigned position (06:04) Use contract or fractional support during transitions (06:50) Protect the principal seat so "temporary" doesn't become permanent burnout (09:34) Communicate with clients and your team with steady leadership A departure doesn't mean you failed. It's data. And when you respond well, your firm becomes more resilient, more structured, and better prepared for growth. Connect with Melissa Instagram Facebook Linkedin Website

In this episode, Toby Mathis, Esq., interviews Chris Streit from CSA Partners about the five critical elements that cause cost segregation studies to fail under IRS audit. Chris, whose firm has completed tens of thousands of cost seg reports, reveals that 80% of studies contain fatal flaws that will not survive scrutiny. The conversation covers the importance of establishing proper real estate professional status or short-term rental qualification before taking accelerated depreciation. Chris explains why land value allocation is the first thing the IRS examines and how it must use county valuation at time of purchase—not rule-of-thumb percentages. They discuss the non-negotiable requirement for physical site visits with video documentation, the necessity of using current RSMeans software with local jurisdiction pricing (not outdated books or averages), and why having accessible audit support is crucial when the IRS comes calling. Chris emphasizes that the burden of proof is on the taxpayer, making professional documentation and expert backup essential.

You would turn it on, 10 minutes before driving somewhere, so your car is warm and de-iced already.   Toyota spokesman Ralph Müller: “The pre-air conditioning is a free function of the MyToyota app or Lexus Link Plus App. This function is still available for all pure electric vehicles and plug-in vehicles. For vehicles with conventional drive, this only works when the combustion engine is running. The legislator considers this an unnecessary running of the engine or an avoidable exhaust gas pollution, which is prohibited. This is not known to many users. In Europe, there is no uniform legal situation, about which we have informed with a corresponding note in the app. In order to protect the vehicle user from fines, we have deactivated the function on these vehicles.” Climate Change Warrior Kamala Harris Buys New Mansion Near The Ocean in Malibu  Kamala Harris just bought a new $8 million mansion in Malibu near the beach.

In an exclusive interview in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to wrap up his nearly four-year-old invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskiy, the U.S. president said, was more reticent. “I think he's ready to make a deal,” Trump said of the Russian president. “I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.” Asked why U.S.-led negotiations had not yet resolved Europe's largest land conflict since World War Two, Trump responded: “Zelenskiy.”   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com  https://twitter.com/zeroDEIUSA/status/2011211989847326747?s=20  this point, dictated that Canada, Denmark, and NATO generally are allowed to sit on their collective asses vis a'vis Defense. Poland and Hungary are the exceptions since they rarely conform to WEF dictums. But we also know something else: This administration doesn't see the world and this hemisphere through a WEF lens. Those differences in world view, opinion, policy, and sense of urgency between America and our allies are bubbling up publicly. I don't think the friction is or will be inconsequential. In fact, I would posit that the hairline cracks we hear about, in terms of NATO cooperation and membership, will inevitably become full fledged fissures. There are any number of pressure points between this administration and our ANO's (allies in name only) most notably the UK. Saber rattling has become the norm in communiques from Germany, the UK, and the EU. Calls for a “European only” Army and Navy have come from the upper and middle echelons of the military in several NATO member nations in Europe. The Europeans are shocked and outraged by our statements and concerns about Greenland. Now I could be wrong; but it seems that NATO's members are viewing our actions in Venezuela as well as Trump's position that Ukraine is largely a Euro problem, and his vision that the “Donroe” doctrine should be a precursor to a solid military defense strategy as well as a strategic trading block composed by countries in the Western Hemisphere as an emerging existential threat. And indeed it is. We have all seen examples that, by now prove conclusively, that Trump and his advisers are some of the best “tea leaf” readers ever. I honestly think this administration sees the rapid cultural, political, and social deterioration in Europe (Germany, Austria, France, the UK) and other Western nations (Australia and NZ) as harbingers and not one off's. And as such, I believe Trump and his team have concluded that these EU countries have reached a point of no return in every measure that matters. I believe the head butting will, by the end of Trump's term, deteriorate or accelerate to locking horns with former allies and our eventual departure from them as a bloc in favor of the Western Hemisphere as a replacement block. The “Donroe” doctrine says as much. I believe Trump would prefer to capitalize on Geography. That is to say a land mass that stretches from the Arctic circle to the Antarctic circle with North America and South America in between. I believe he sees that as something America can control, protect, and develop. How this will play out, I'm not sure. But I believe he is quietly preparing an exit ramp for our departure from NATO per se. It will be interesting. He will leave office and hand this massive initiative to Vance and Rubio; confident in their judgment and ability to execute. Medical/False Flags President Trump Announces “The Great Healthcare Plan” President Donald J. Trump's Great Healthcare Plan is a broad healthcare initiative that will slash prescription drug prices, reduce insurance premiums, hold big insurance companies accountable, and maximize price transparency in the American healthcare system. This plan will deliver money directly to the American people, not insurance companies, big pharma and special interest groups—putting patients over industry leaders' profits, just as he promised. The Great Healthcare Plan also builds on the successes of his first term by promoting competition, eliminating wasteful spending, and putting consumers back in control.

For the Minnesota scenario described in the post (involving federal agents and no mention of a state request), §§252 or 253 would likely apply, allowing action without state consent. Next Steps for InvocationIf President Trump decides to proceed, the process is straightforward but must follow statutory requirements. Here’s a step-by-step outline based on the law and historical precedents: Assess and Determine Applicability: The President (or advisors) evaluates whether the situation meets one of the Act’s criteria, such as rebellion against federal authority or obstructions to law enforcement. This is an internal executive decision, often informed by reports from agencies like DHS, DOJ, or DOD. No formal public step is required here, but it sets the legal justification.  Issue a Presidential Proclamation (§254): Before deploying forces, the President must publicly issue a proclamation ordering the “insurgents” or obstructors to disperse and return home peacefully within a specified time limit (e.g., hours or days). This serves as a formal warning and is a mandatory prerequisite under the law. The proclamation is typically published in the Federal Register and announced via White House channels.  Failure to issue this could make any deployment unlawful. Monitor Compliance and Issue an Executive Order for Deployment: If the proclamation is ignored, the President can issue an executive order authorizing the deployment of federal troops or federalizing the National Guard. This order specifies the scope, duration, and rules of engagement. Troops can then be mobilized to enforce laws, restore order, or protect federal operations (e.g., supporting ICE in this case). Deployment is not automatic upon invocation; it’s at the President’s discretion. Oversight and Termination: Once invoked, the deployment continues until the President determines the crisis is resolved. Congress can potentially override or limit it through legislation, but this is rare. The Act requires reporting to Congress “as soon as practicable” on the reasons and measures taken. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2011886917311414381?s=20 Republican Rep.

In a stunning 7-2 decision, the High Court ruled that Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL) has the legal standing to challenge Illinois's unconstitutional law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day. This ruling reverses the Seventh Circuit and sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois' late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits This is the game-changer we have been waiting for. For years, Democrats and their media allies have relied on “late-arriving ballots” to shift the results of elections days or even weeks after the polls close. We all remember what happened in 2020. We remember the “pauses” and the late-night spikes. But now, the Supreme Court has finally opened the floodgates for Republicans to sue to stop it. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made it clear: candidates have a “personal stake” in the rules governing their elections. This destroys the liberal argument that Republicans can't sue unless they can prove a specific fraudulent ballot cost them the race. The following states accept ballots that arrive late, as long as they have a valid postmark: Alaska California District of Columbia Illinois Maryland Massachusetts Mississippi Nevada New Jersey New York Oregon Texas (Note: Must be received by 5:00 PM the day after Election Day) Virginia Washington West Virginia Note on Territories: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam also typically accept late-arriving ballots if postmarked by Election Day. Several states that previously accepted late-arriving ballots have recently passed laws requiring ballots to be in the hands of election officials by the time polls close on Election Day, regardless of when they were mailed. Kansas (Changed in 2024/2025) North Dakota (Changed in 2025) Ohio (Changed in 2025) Utah (Changed in 2025) In all other states (e.g., Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona), your ballot must be received by the county election office by the close of polls on Election Day.

Most organizations don't fail because of talent gaps, bad hires, or weak execution. They fail because they scale on top of misalignment.In this episode, Anthony Vaughan introduces the Alignment Audit—a simple but uncomfortable diagnostic every leadership team should run before hiring, investing, or chasing growth targets in 2026.This conversation breaks down why revenue volatility, product confusion, and go-to-market breakdowns almost always trace back to cultural and decision-making misalignment, not process or performance issues. From board pressure and investor distortion at the top, to unclear decision ownership and behavioral friction on the ground, misalignment quietly drains momentum long before dashboards turn red.You'll hear why leadership teams must stop panicking over lagging revenue and start asking the harder question: Are we actually aligned? And why, honestly, third-party-facilitated conversations—before scale—are often the difference between sustainable growth and expensive failure.If your organization is planning to scale in 2026, this episode is your mirror.

She also champions technology innovation initiatives that enhance audit quality and efficiency. In this episode, Eric and Kristen Deere discuss:Understanding why benefit plan audits existUsing technology to reduce audit burdenPreparing proactively for smooth auditsFollowing the plan document above all elseKey Takeaways:Department of Labor audits are required for large plans to confirm that operations follow the plan document. Their goal is to protect participants and ensure promised benefits are delivered accurately. Audits may surface issues or risks, but they are not designed as fraud detection guarantees.Employee benefit plan audits rely heavily on payroll, census, and record-keeper data. Audit software, structured spreadsheets, and direct system access improve accuracy and efficiency. When used well, technology makes audits less disruptive for plan sponsors.Successful plan sponsors stay organized throughout the year, not just during audit season. They maintain clear documentation, communicate changes early, and reconcile data regularly. This preparation prevents last-minute scrambles and repeated audit findings.Most audit issues trace back to operations drifting from the written plan document. Payroll, record keepers, and processes must all align with what the plan actually says. Reading, understanding, and following the document is the strongest safeguard against errors.“They can outsource the function, but they can't outsource the responsibility.” - Kristen DeereConnect with Kristen Deere:Website: https://weaver.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-derryberry/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast are general in nature and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

In this episode, I'm auditing my biggest lessons from 2025 and diving into a hard truth: real leadership isn't about consensus; it's about having the courage to make unpopular calls.I discuss Ben Horowitz's concept of "Management Debt"—the compounding interest we pay when we avoid hard conversations, difficult firings, or killing passion projects—and why sprinting toward these uncomfortable moments is the only way to avoid organizational stagnation.

Jenna Kutcher is pausing The Goal Digger Podcast. Amy Porterfield is retiring Digital Course Academy. And the internet is doing what the internet does, panicking and asking if this means podcasts are dead, courses don't work, and online business as we know it is over. Sophia is here to slow that narrative WAY down. Because what's actually happening isn't that these formats are broken, it's that two massive business owners are intentionally closing chapters they've been in for nearly a decade. There's a huge difference between "this format no longer works" and "this format no longer fits where I am." In this episode, Sophia breaks down the real industry shifts happening (spoiler: they happen every 5-10 years), why a big fish feeling a shift doesn't mean the pond dried up, and gives you three concrete actions to take instead of panicking or standing still.Here's What We Cover:The crucial distinction no one's making — "This format no longer works" vs. "This format no longer fits where I am" (and why that matters)Industry shifts are fucking normal — Why this happens every 5-10 years and it doesn't mean everything stops workingThe bigger context: from COVID to AI — How reels, short-form video, and AI have all been industry shift moments we've navigated beforeCourses are still selling, podcasts still work — But they're being consumed differently, trust looks different, expectations have changedThe three things to do instead of panicking:Create intentional pause — What could you pause for 30-90 days to create space for clarity?Audit for revenue AND joy — Look at what makes money, what doesn't, what brings joy, and what makes you roll your eyesListen to what your audience is excited about NOW — Not three years ago, not what everyone else is selling...and what to focus on when the industry feels loud, chaotic, and unclear.Resources Mentioned:Submit Your Question: https://www.speakpipe.com/MarketingUnfilteredListen to this for more ways to sell outside of 1:1 coaching: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-201-how-coaches-can-sell-in-2026-without-relying/id1644601845?i=1000742475013 My AI strategy for coaches and creators: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-200-my-ai-strategy-for-coaches-creators-going-into-2026/id1644601845?i=1000741533840

Moiz Kohari, VP of Enterprise AI and Data Intelligence at DDN, breaks down what it actually takes to get AI into production and keep it there. If your org is stuck in pilot mode, this conversation will help you spot the real blockers, from trust and hallucinations to data architecture and GPU bottlenecks.Key takeaways• GenAI success in the enterprise is less about the demo and more about trust, accuracy, and knowing when the system should say “I don't know.”• “Operationalizing” usually fails at the handoff, when humans stay permanently in the loop and the business never captures the full benefit.• Data architecture is the multiplier. If your data is siloed, slow, or hard to access safely, your AI roadmap stalls, no matter how good your models are.• GPU spend is only worth it if your pipelines can feed the GPUs fast enough. A lot of teams are IO bound, so utilization stays low and budgets get burned.• The real win is better decisions, faster. Moving from end of day batch thinking to intraday intelligence can change risk, margin, and response time in major ways.Timestamped highlights00:35 What DDN does, and why data velocity matters when GPUs are the pricey line item02:12 AI vs GenAI in the enterprise, and why “taking the human out” is where value shows up08:43 Hallucinations, trust, and why “always answering” creates real production risk12:00 What teams do with the speed gains, and why faster delivery shifts you toward harder problems12:58 From hours to minutes, how GPU acceleration changes intraday risk and decision making in finance20:16 Data architecture choices, POSIX vs object storage, and why your IO layer can make or break AI readinessA line worth stealing“Speed is great, but trust is the frontier. If your system can't admit what it doesn't know, production is where the project stops.”Pro tips you can apply this week• Pick one workflow where the output can be checked quickly, then design the path from pilot to production up front, including who approves what and how exceptions get handled.• Audit your bottleneck before you buy more compute. If your GPUs are waiting on data, fix storage, networking, and pipeline throughput first.• Build “confidence behavior” into the system. Decide when it should answer, when it should cite, and when it should escalate to a human.Call to actionIf you got value from this one, follow the show and turn on notifications so you do not miss the next episode.

This is a real sales call audit of a mortgage inbound lead who called in from a rate mailer. I break the call down like coaching game film using a 25-point sales call scorecard and show exactly why the deal almost died. Not because of rates or programs, but because emotion was never uncovered.Sales isn't about the loan. It's about what the loan changes in their life. When you miss the emotional goal, you miss the close.In this sales call audit, I score the introduction, relationship building, emotional discovery, presentation, and follow-up, then show how the same client was turned into a real opportunity once the conversation shifted from qualifying to connecting.Support the showJoin our weekly calls so you we can help you too!

In this week's Monday News Drop, hosts Bo Brabo, Luke Carignan, and Jeremy Sadlier unpack the critical workforce, policy, and compensation trends shaping healthcare HR as we move deeper into 2026. From labor risk to pay strategy to the expiration of ACA subsidies, this episode delivers practical insight leaders can act on immediately.Key Topics Covered:Nurse Strike Risk & Staffing Ratios With New York City facing potential large-scale nursing strikes, the conversation highlights how staffing ratios are shifting from policy language to enforceable labor contract terms. The takeaway for HR leaders is clear: transparency, staffing communication, and proactive workforce planning can reduce strike risk faster than wages alone.Medicaid Cuts & ACA Subsidy Expiration The team explores the real-world impact of Medicaid funding reductions and the expiration of ACA premium subsidies. Hospitals are already seeing layoffs, rising uncompensated care, and growing emergency department utilization. HR leaders are urged to prepare for budget volatility, workforce redeployment, and increased pressure on frontline staffing.Workforce Redeployment Over Layoffs Rather than defaulting to layoffs, this episode reinforces the case for redeploying and upskilling existing employees. From patient access to revenue cycle roles, proactive retraining can stabilize operations while preserving institutional knowledge and morale.2026 Pay Strategy Reality Check National merit increases have stabilized around 3–3.5%, but healthcare remains an outlier with sustained wage pressure. The hosts discuss why across-the-board increases no longer work and why differentiated pay strategies are essential to retain top clinical talent and manage wage compression.The HR Imperative This episode reinforces a core message: workforce shortages are now structural, not cyclical. Burnout is an organizational risk, not an individual failure. And HR leaders play a central role in navigating labor relations, compensation strategy, and policy-driven disruption.Actionable Takeaways for This Week: • Run a strike-risk audit with nurse leaders • Audit per diem and part-time coverage options • Review telehealth compliance timelines • Identify redeployment and upskilling opportunities

Former Oklahoma Representative Jason Murphy, who served from 2006 to 2018, advocates for an "abstinence pledge" for legislators to refuse lobbyist money. He argues that this pledge helps lawmakers remain independent and accountable to their constituents, rather than special interests. Murphy believes that abstaining from lobbyist money leads to more principled decision-making and aligns with grassroots conservative values.   A grassroots movement in Oklahoma is gaining momentum, encouraging lawmakers to reject special interest money and prioritize their constituents' interests. This approach, which emphasizes transparency and accountability, is being adopted by a growing number of candidates, challenging the notion that money is essential for political success. By rejecting special interest money, candidates are building trust with their constituents and demonstrating their commitment to integrity and public service.   Jason Murphey discusses the importance of transparency in politics, emphasizing that voters want to know their representatives are not influenced by big money. He highlights the "People's Audit," a tool he created to rank legislators based on their votes, particularly those that increase government power and spending. Murphey believes this audit will help voters identify legislators who are not aligned with their conservative values, despite potential misleading campaign messaging.   Check out Jason's great work here: https://oklahomastatecapital.substack.com/     Big shout out to my incredible sponsors!  motushealth.com At Motus Health, we believe you were created to thrive—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—not just get by.

I audited my 2025 year looking for lessons learned, relearned, and unlearned. Here's a big one I'm relearning: the difference between someone good on your team versus someone great isn't 10-20% better—it's 10-20X in productivity, output, and impact. I really mean this. I came from the corporate world where I had big budgets and could hire A-players, but when I went out on my own with tighter budgets, I developed a bad habit: hiring cheaper people thinking I could get it all done. I'd hire two or three mediocre people instead of one A-player focused on the most important thing. What happened? Failed prioritization. Mediocre people increased noise, required constant oversight, and diluted my time instead of extending capacity. I was micromanaging and fixing instead of building. This past year I went back to my roots: only accept A-players, which forced me to prioritize ruthlessly. The business accelerated dramatically. This episode breaks down my number one recommendation for hiring A-players: treat it like video production—spend way more time on pre-production and strategy to dramatically reduce post-production work. Instead of jumping to a job post and taking "good enough," spend time defining what success really looks like, who would crush it (beyond resume bullets), and what systems screen people in or out. It feels slower up front but there's no comparison in speed to full output and caliber of people you stack on the team.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Newsletter for reference: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazons-original-1997-letter-to-shareholdersFor years, I preached that a crystal clear vision was the non-negotiable foundation of any successful company, often citing Jeff Bezos's prophetic roadmap for Amazon as the gold standard. But in 2025, I unlearned that rule and embraced the "Steve Jobs approach"—trusting the process, iterating in real-time, and connecting the dots looking backward. In this episode, I'm discussing why you don't need a perfect ten-year plan if you genuinely love the art of building, and how a passion for the daily grind can serve as a powerful substitute for a crystallized vision when navigating the inevitable frustrations of entrepreneurship.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Today's podcast focuses on how the months of January and February are actually months of critical spiritual activity even though in the world and creation, it's a time of inactivity and hibernation. There is particular focus on a new year's audit we can do on ourselves involving the four R's of: Roles, Relationships, Regrets, and Resolve.

For six years, I've used my personal brand to drive millions in revenue, but I kept hitting two major walls: I became the bottleneck when client work piled up, and I burned out from repetitively talking about the same niche topics. My breakthrough this year was finally decoupling my personal identity from my business's identity—allowing me to create content about whatever I'm obsessed with (like neurodiversity or general entrepreneurship) while my team mines that content to extract and repackage the specific pieces needed for our marketing. This shift has not only made content creation fun and sustainable again but has also removed the "assembly line" feeling and uncapped our growth potential.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Happy New Year and welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today, we are joined by Janna Scott, founder of DeFi Tax, to talk about one of the biggest risks crypto investors face today: inaccurate tax reporting. Janna explains why most crypto tax software is unreliable, how IRS audits really work, and what happens when reported numbers don't match blockchain data. She shares how her research exposed major gaps in the system and why both individuals and businesses need audit-ready crypto records. In this episode, we chat about… The Software Variance Problem: Janna tested 14 different crypto tax products and found that every single one gave a different outcome, with variances ranging from 30% to 120%. IRS Audit Pause: After meeting with Janna and reviewing her research, the IRS admitted their data collection methods were wrong and temporarily stopped crypto audits in 2023. The $146 Billion Tax Gap: The IRS has missed out on an estimated $146 billion in tax collection, leading to a new wave of audits with no statute of limitations if they consider the errors to be tax evasion. Risk of Data Manipulation: Many popular crypto products allow users to manually change transaction dates and fees, a feature that can immediately disqualify a report from being used in an official IRS audit. Exchange Terms of Service: One major exchange responded to Janna's findings by updating its terms of service to block class-action lawsuits and make users solely responsible for data errors. Key Takeaways: Most crypto tax software is not accurate or audit-safe Blockchain data must be pulled directly to ensure correct reporting The IRS can penalize taxpayers even if they tried to report correctly Crypto audits can go back years with interest and penalties compounding Audit defense matters just as much as tax calculation CPAs and accountants often cannot defend crypto audits without proper tools Preparing now can prevent massive financial damage later   Resources from Janna LinkedIn  | DeFi Tax Resources from Mike and Nichole Check out our latest project here: Barcelona Hotel Fund LinkedIn  | Gateway Private Equity Group | Nic's guide

Andy and Brendan! are back! After an extended break to end the year, the first episode of 2026 has plenty of news to catch up on and is, of course, a Victory Monday celebration. Andy is still rolling after the first-ever Ballfrogs win on Friday night, claiming that this victory lasts all weekend. Michael Thorbjornsen was a star in his TGL debut, but much of the conversation was on a star who was not yet present in the SoFi Dome: Brooks Koepka. Andy and Brendan unpack Koepka's departure from LIV and Talor Gooch's upcoming captaincy of Smash GC. The two debate where Brooks will play in 2026 and agree that it's unlikely that he'll play on the PGA Tour this year. His PGA Tour standing will apparently impact his TGL candidacy as well, but Rory, SVP, and other major names in the virtual golf universe all made it seem like Brooks's indoor debut is imminent! Will he be the savior Jup Links so desperately needs? In other LIV Hot Stove news, Pat Perez is angling for a return to the PGA Tour before his 50th birthday and Kevin Na has unfollowed the league on Instagram. What does this mean for the Ironheads? Nobody knows! With no golf to preview this week, PJ leads an audit of last year's over-unders, looking back at Zatch moments, destruction of property by international superstars, and missed cuts at majors by many big name stars. As it turns out, all three football minds nailed the under on the 2025 Bears/Browns/Jets total, ushering a Football Minute to close this show. PJ is thrilled with the chain of events leading to the Jets obtaining the second overall pick in April's draft, Shedeur led yet another win for the Browns as Myles Garrett broke the NFL's sack record, and Andy is already preparing for a playoff matchup against the best quarterback on the Packers, Jordan Love. Stay tuned as we preview more and more of the 2026 golf season before the Sony Open kicks off next Thursday.
