Summary of the Dave Charest Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, a leading digital marketing platform. Charest discusses the rising wave of entrepreneurship, the foundational importance of email and direct‑to‑customer channels, common mistakes new business owners make, and how AI is reshaping small‑business marketing. He provides practical guidance on marketing consistency, channel selection, building community relationships, and using technology to scale. Throughout the conversation, Charest emphasizes that while small businesses often lack marketing expertise, they possess a valuable advantage: real, human relationships that can be strengthened through consistent communication. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2.

Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7.

Email is a direct line.” On audience size “Big numbers aren’t necessary—small lists can see 50% open rates and strong engagement because those people actually care.” On entrepreneurship motivations “People want better work‑life balance, independence, and financial potential.” On mistakes “A big mistake is trying to do too much at once. Start small and stay consistent.” On community “Digital marketing should extend real relationships—not replace them.” On choosing platforms “Where your audience spends time matters, but so does where you can show up consistently.” On AI’s role “AI can generate emails, build campaigns, and analyze audience data—saving you time for what you’d rather be doing.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brooke Beckett, MD, is a Radiologist and the Director of the Residency Program at Oregon Health and Science University. In Part 1 of her interview, she discusses with Chuck and Miles some important core concepts for reading radiographs and ordering images in general.

This speak was recorded in February of 2011 at Back to Basics in Huntsville and is Tom I telling his story.   I am starting something a little different today. A while back an AA member (Kent) reached out to me regarding a collection of recordings by Tom I.   Tom was sober over 65 years at the time of his passing and through the efforts of Kent, Tom's family and others a library of his speaks over the years was collected. Tom has long been a highly regarded speaker in AA, he has quite a story. Starting today and until we run through his library the podcast will be featuring a "Tom Tuesday". It seems appropriate to start with Tom telling his story.   Tom I became sober at the age of 28, attending an AA meeting in a maximum-security prison. He had been sentenced there after he killed two teenagers during a blackout.   While incarcerated, Tom became a passionate and active member of AA. Upon his release he dedicated his life to carrying the message of recovery to other inmates. He was the first former prisoner hired to work within the prison system. His journey eventually took him from prisoner to warden. Tom passed away in 2022 with over 65 years of sobriety.   Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate Email: sobercast@gmail.com Sober Cast has 3200+ episodes available, visit SoberCast.com to access all the episodes where you can easily find topics or specific speakers using tags or search. https://sobercast.com

Link to Journal Entries A Guide to Almost Everything https://youtu.be/ONc03wC1zFA Thumbnail: Silent AP Failures or Hidden AP Failures The Costs You Miss Stop the Bleeding Your company is losing money right now — and no one can see it happening. Not leadership. Not procurement. Not even finance. But Accounts Payable can. Because the truth is this: most organizations don't bleed money through big, dramatic failures. They bleed through the tiny, invisible cracks in their AP fundamentals — the ones no one ever talks about because they seem “too basic” to matter. But those basics? They're exactly where the damage starts. A missing invoice. A coding error. A rushed approval. A vendor setup shortcut. A “temporary” workaround that somehow becomes permanent. Individually, they look harmless. Collectively, they create duplicate payments, late fees, vendor escalations, audit findings, strained relationships, and real financial leakage — all happening quietly in the background while everyone assumes AP is “just processing invoices.” Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on the AP fundamentals that silently cost companies thousands — sometimes millions — every year. And by the end of this video, you'll know exactly which basics your organization is overlooking… AND how to stop the bleeding before it becomes a crisis.

This week, Bart and I recorded the second half of Programming By Stealth installment 184. The first half covered the SASS basics, and in this half, we get to learn through a worked example how to write in SASS, which compiles to regular old CSS. He created a little web page with some wise and humorous quotes from notable people in history, and used everything we learned in the first half to style the page. As I told Bart at the end, it's great that he teaches us the foundation of these tools, but it's equally great to have a worked example where we can see theory in action, and reference these examples in the future. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes for both Part A and Part B at pbs.bartificer.net.

In this popular episode from last spring, Joanne speaks with author and fruit tree care educator Susan Poizner about her book, Fruit Tree Pruning: The Science and Art of Cultivating Healthy Fruit Trees, and shares Susan's practical advice for growing healthier, more productive fruit trees. About Susan Poizner Susan Poizner is an award-winning author, journalist, urban orchardist, and fruit tree care educator based in Toronto, Canada. She trains arborists, master gardeners, and community and home orchardists in fruit tree maintenance through in-person workshops, online courses, and webinars. Her books include Grow Fruit Trees Fast, Growing Urban Orchards, Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone and Fruit Tree Pruning. Here are some of the topics discussed in this episode: Fruit Trees Are a Long-Term Relationship, Not an Impulse Purchase Fruit trees require planning, patience, and ongoing care. Instead of grabbing a pretty tree from a garden centre, research disease-resistant varieties, pollination needs, rootstock size, hardiness zone, and the right nursery source before planting.  Proper Pruning Is Essential for Healthy Trees and Better Fruit Susan explains why young bare-root trees should be pruned the day they're planted, how formative pruning shapes a tree for life, and why mature trees can often be restored with thoughtful pruning. Learn the difference between trimming and pruning, especially how over-trimming can create dense, unhealthy canopies.  Healthy Soil, Smart Placement, and Natural Care Lead to Better Harvests To thrive, fruit trees need full sun, enough root space, compost or quality mulch, annual cleanup, dormant spray, and attention to soil health. Good care reduces disease pressure, improves fruit quality, and makes fruit trees more productive without relying heavily on chemical sprays.

The supplement industry is pushing back. In May 2026, a group of long-tenured ashwagandha producers and regulatory experts launched the Ashwagandha Standards Alliance (ASA), a new coalition dedicated to countering misinformation about ashwagandha leaf safety, defending GMP standards, and responding to what many in the industry see as scientifically unsupported regulatory actions: India’s April 2026 FSSAI/AYUSH leaf advisory and Denmark’s earlier ban. In Episode #218 of the PricePlow Podcast, Mike and Ben sit down with Blake Ebersole, founding member of the ASA and president of NaturPro Scientific, a B2B quality and regulatory consulting firm. Blake unpacks and rejects the “root good, leaf bad” narrative, explains why in vitro cancer cell studies are being misused to target ashwagandha leaf, and details how lab shopping and supply chain fragmentation quietly erode quality across the botanical category. This episode pairs directly with our companion article on India’s ashwagandha leaf advisory. Together they cover both the regulatory deep-dive and the industry coalition response.

Most people in fitness are sprinting toward peptides, red light masks, and $200 lab panels while skipping the $15 food scale that would actually fix the problem. Aram Grigorian has been calling this out on Instagram for years, and in this conversation he gets specific about why "you can't optimize until you stabilize," what he charges his clients to not track when they don't need to, and why he keeps losing money on an event he refuses to stop running.Aram is a fitness and nutrition coach based in San Diego, founder of the Real Coaches Summit, and the guy behind @4weekstothebeach on Instagram.

What are the investing basics that can help shape long-term financial decisions? Many people hear terms like stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, dividends, or Roth IRAs and assume they already understand the basics. But what if going back to the basics helps inform people as they make money decisions? In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons breaks down the core building blocks of investing in a way that is simple and easy to share with kids, college students, young adults, or anyone who wants a clearer understanding of how money can work over time. He explains the difference between stocks, bonds, and cash, while also showing why discipline and long-term thinking can matter just as much as the investments themselves. You'll learn: • What stocks represent and why ownership in companies has historically helped build wealth. • How growth stocks, income stocks, dividends, and company size can affect an investment portfolio. • Why bonds are different from stocks and how risk, return, and time horizon come into play. • Why cash can be useful for emergencies but may not be ideal as a long-term investment. • How mutual funds and ETFs allow investors to own many companies through one investment vehicle. • Why Roth IRAs can be a powerful tax-advantaged tool when used properly. Investing can feel complicated, but Darryl explains why the basics are worth revisiting. Stocks, bonds, cash, ETFs, and retirement accounts all have a role to play, but the bigger lesson is learning how to think long term, stay disciplined, and build a framework that fits your own situation.

There's a very specific kind of panic that happens when someone says, "Just listen to your hunger." Because in theory? It sounds so simple. Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full. Trust your body. Very calming Pinterest quote energy. And then real life happens. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that happens. We're talking about how years of restriction, dieting, food rules, and trying to override your body can completely distort your hunger cues. We're getting into the fear of "if I start eating, I won't stop," why so many people feel like their hunger is excessive or wrong, and why the advice to "just trust your body" can backfire when your body has spent years not being listened to. Quotes "The fear of, 'If I let myself eat, it's never gonna stop, and I'm just gonna keep being hungry because there is no on or off switch, it's just on,' is rooted a lot of time in past experience. So it sort of reinforces the concept that you should be afraid of your hunger." - Rachelle Heinemann "It's really hard to trust a signal when you think that following it will have consequences that you cannot accept." - Rachelle Heinemann "We have to develop accurate hunger cues, and then the trust that you will actually feed it." - Rachelle Heinemann "Hunger is not a failure and it's not dangerous. It's something that is just a signal." - Rachelle Heinemann Frequently Asked Questions Why do my hunger cues feel so extreme? A lot of times, hunger cues feel extreme because your body has spent years not trusting that food is consistently coming. If you restrict, delay eating, skip meals, or constantly override hunger, your body eventually stops giving subtle cues and starts screaming. So instead of "slightly hungry," you go from nothing to starving. Why do I feel hungry again right after eating? Sometimes, because the meal genuinely wasn't enough. Sometimes, because your body is trying to recover from restriction. And sometimes, because hunger doesn't work on the perfect schedule, people think it should. Hunger is not a stopwatch. Your body does not care that lunch was 45 minutes ago if it still needs energy.   Why does intuitive eating feel chaotic for me? Because if your body has a history of restriction, "just listen to your hunger" can feel like opening the floodgates. Your body is trying to protect you from famine, not create balance right away. That's why structure and consistency usually have to come before hunger cues feel calm and reliable.   Can restriction cause binge eating? Yes. When you repeatedly ignore hunger or don't eat enough, your body eventually responds with urgency around food. That's why binge eating often feels chaotic and out of control after periods of restriction. It's not a lack of willpower. It's your body trying to keep you alive.   Why am I always thinking about food? Usually, because your body and brain don't feel safe around food yet. Restriction increases food thoughts. Hunger increases food thoughts. Constant rules around eating increase food thoughts. Most people are shocked by how much quieter their brain gets once they start eating consistently.   How do I trust my hunger cues again? Usually not by immediately relying on them. Ironically, trust gets rebuilt through consistency first. Eating regularly, eating enough, and creating structure teach your body that food is not disappearing. Over time, hunger becomes more subtle, clearer, and less urgent.   Will I gain weight if I start listening to my hunger? Possibly. Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. The bigger issue is that if you are actively terrified of weight gain while trying to heal your relationship with food, those two things usually fight each other the entire time. Recovery often requires putting intentional weight loss on pause long enough to let your body stabilize.   Why does hunger feel emotionally overwhelming? Because for a lot of people, hunger is tied to desire, need, permission, and taking up space. It's not just about food. Listening to hunger often means acknowledging wants and needs in general, and that can feel deeply uncomfortable if you've spent years minimizing yourself.   Can hunger cues stop working after years of dieting? Yes. Hunger cues can become really distorted after chronic dieting, restriction, or disordered eating. Some people barely feel hunger until they're ravenous. Others feel hungry all the time. That doesn't mean your body is broken. It usually means your body has adapted to inconsistency.   Why can't I stop eating once I start? A lot of people think this means they're addicted to food or lack discipline. Usually, it means they're underfed. When your body thinks food is scarce, it's not interested in moderation. It's interested in survival.   Should I eat even if I'm not hungry in recovery? A lot of times, yes. Especially early on. If your hunger cues are unreliable, waiting until you feel hungry enough can keep you stuck in the restriction and binge cycle. Structure helps rebuild stability before hunger cues become more trustworthy.   What does normal hunger actually feel like? Usually a lot less dramatic than people expect. Over time, hunger becomes softer, earlier, and more informational. It stops feeling like an emergency and starts feeling like a cue. Resources Brave on Purpose! - Grab my new book here!

Thirty years ago Beth Kobliner wrote the book that a generation of financial planners handed to their clients' kids. The core advice still holds. But the world around it has changed dramatically -- frictionless spending, gambling apps disguised as investment platforms, and a housing market where the average first-time buyer is now 40. Beth comes back to the basement with an updated edition of Get a Financial Life and a clear-eyed take on what's harder now, what's easier, and what was always just common sense.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy the shift to invisible, frictionless money has made spending harder to track -- and the two-week experiment that fixes it without turning into a second jobThe yours, mine, and ours account system for couples where one person saves and one person spends -- and why autonomy is the key to avoiding money resentmentWhy putting a price tag on your goals changes your spending behavior more than any budget ever willThe biggest mistake first-time home buyers make right now -- and the math on why a 10% down payment often beats waiting for 20%Used versus new car: the $20,000 gap that makes the decision simple -- and the negotiation script that puts you in control at the dealershipStudent loan reality check for 2026 -- what's changing by July, where to run the numbers, and who qualifies for public service loan forgiveness now that it's actually workingWhy paying off a 22% credit card is mathematically equivalent to earning 22% guaranteed -- and what that means for how you prioritize your moneyThe gambling platform statistic that should alarm every parent of a 20-something: 25% of Gen Z and millennials consider online gambling an investmentThe annuity conversation most advisors won't have honestly -- what they're actually selling, what the fees really cover, and the two use cases where they might actually make senseWhy an annuity inside an IRA is, in OG's words, an abomination -- and the three questions to ask before signing anythingWhy This Matters NowWhether you're in your 40s and wishing you'd read this at 22, or you're handing it to someone who just graduated, the fundamentals Beth laid out three decades ago are still the fastest path to financial stability. What's changed is the noise around them -- and the sophistication of the products and platforms designed to get in the way.From the BasementBeth Kobliner joins Joe and OG to walk through the 30th anniversary edition of Get a Financial Life -- covering homes, cars, student loans, debt, and the new financial traps that didn't exist in 1996. The headline segment digs into a CNBC piece on why retirees are thinking about annuities wrong, which turns into one of the more honest annuity conversations the basement has had. Doug arrives with Spice Girls trivia that everyone over 35 finds embarrassingly easy.
