This week's REWIND comes from December of 2021 and found Townsend and Preacher Man thinking about how important it is for people to see the world through the lens of Jesus.

Stick With It Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Launching a startup is hard work. The hours are long, and there are many obstacles to overcome. The key to a successful startup is not funding from investors, but rather founders who stick with it. Losing faith in the business is the first step toward shutting down. To avoid this, consider the following: Find a source of revenue to keep the lights on. Even if this means moving into consulting, training, or other ancillary services. Have a backup plan if the proposed product doesn't work. Keep costs low and manageable in the early stages of the business until the product gains traction. Have a scaled-back version of the startup ready in case the unexpected happens. Don't be afraid to pivot the business to something else in case the technology or market proves to be unviable. During difficult times, narrow the focus of the solution to meet just a few customers. It's better to have a small number using your product than a large number ignoring it. The business can live to see another day as long as the founding team stays with the business. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Core Skills for Startup Founders Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup founders are successful because they execute. Many founders have ideas, but the execution separates the winners from the losers. Here are the core skills of a startup founder: They pick an idea and drive it all the way through to successful completion. They launch the startup and then proceed to stand up the business. They raise the funding to grow it. They build a team and galvanize them into action. They create products to sell. They close customers to buy. They make the hard decisions and tradeoffs that come with a new business venture. They actively run the business to achieve a successful outcome. They deal with the customers, vendors, partners, and other players. They drive the business forward to an outcome. In short, they execute at each step. In funding a startup founder, look at their ability to execute rather than ideate. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Gaps in knowledge and performance happen naturally, even in high-performing teams. In this episode, Mike and Jim explore why blind spots develop despite good training, smart people, and strong intent. They walk through the realities of cognitive load—how much information a practitioner can realistically retain—and how this affects everything from tactical decision-making to compliance with policy and law. Using examples from aviation, policing, and military training, they illustrate how complexity, fatigue, and skill decay shape performance far more than most would acknowledge. The conversation also addresses how organizations should think about standards, instructor responsibilities, evaluation systems, and the realistic limits of human learning. They highlight tools leaders can use to expose and correct blind spots: independent evaluation, scenario-based application, and deliberate debriefing. Mike and Jim emphasize the importance of professional education, continual reinforcement, and maintaining a baseline that is both realistic and mission-appropriate. Take a moment and ask yourself: Are you tired of always having to work on the lowest common denominator? Do you know what your own weaknesses are and how they can impact you? This episode helps practitioners understand their own limitations, recognize when they need help, and apply structured thinking to improve safety, efficiency, and organizational credibility.

What Are FormDs? Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In the startup funding world, there's an SEC registration called a FormD. A FormD is an SEC filing for those who raised funding under Regulation D rules. It's a public notice indicating an investment has been made. For companies receiving the funding, it lists the names or entities that made the investment. It must be filed within 15 days of the funding. For most startups, this is the date of final closing. FormDs are a good resource to track funding events. While there is some basic information about the company in a RegD, investors can find more information about it on online sites. This came out of the Securities Act of 1934, which sought to provide more information to investors about a private company Investments using Reg D require the investor to be accredited. This limits the investment to those who have sufficient funds to cover potential losses. Consider FormDs in your startup research.

How To Fund an Angel Network Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Running an angel network requires a source of revenue just like a startup. Here are some ways to fund an angel network: Charge membership dues. This is the most common form of revenue for an angel group. Charging the members generates more participation. This helps generate more funding for the startups. Charge sponsors. This can be a good way to supplement the income of the group. Sponsors can provide additional services, such as legal and financial. Too many sponsors can distract from the process. Grants. City and state grants are good for launching an angel network. Grants are one-time payments, so it's difficult to sustain a group on it. Entrepreneur application fees. Charging the startups to pay to apply can generate substantial revenue. This reduces weak deals and those that are too early for the group. Angel groups don't need a great deal of income to sustain operations. Most are set up as not-for-profit entities. Consider these sources of revenue for your angel group.

How To Get a Meeting With an Investor Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, startup founders must identify and contact many investors. Here are some key steps to getting a meeting with an investor. Research the target investor to identify what they are interested in. This could be a specific industry or sector. For general investors, focus on the top three sectors in favor at the time. Find a connection between the investor's target sector and your startup. Pull together research from your startup to show the current state of the industry. Perform additional research to show trends, including what is coming up and what is going away. Identify those companies that are doing well and those that are declining. Show the why behind the change. Investors look for research to inform their decisions. Approach them to share your research results with information they can use in their investment decisions. Offer to share your research with no ask. This starts the relationship and lets you build on it. Once established, you can pitch your deal as the investor knows and has the context of the sector.

Investors Vary in Quality for the Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors vary in the quality of the startup. There are some investors who bring gravitas to the deal that attracts other investors. Other investors are good, solid players in the market and can add value to the startup. Then there are the average Joe investors who are nice guys and easy to talk to. Finally, there are the wanna be investors who hang around the edges looking to see what other investors do. In raising funding, practice your pitch with family and friends first. Don't practice on investors from whom you actually want to raise funding. Once ready, start with the top-tier investors. If one of them says no, it won't seem out of place, as they say no a lot. Having engaged them in the fundraising process will help, as it shows other investors you are a valid startup to consider. Continue to work your way through the list of investors from the good, solid ones to the Average Joes, and finally the wanna bees. Plan your fundraising to start with the ones who can add the most value to your startup and work your way down the list.

Key Qualities of a Startup Founder Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The quality of the team, in particular the startup founder, is one of the most important factors of startup success. Here are some key qualities to look for in a founder. Integrity is the most important quality, as this must be someone you can trust. Passion for solving the problem is a key factor in the success of the business, which often hinges on a resolve to find a solution. Experience is a key factor as launching and running a successful startup requires it for success. Domain knowledge is another factor to look for. How well do they know the space?

How To Prepare for a Valuation Negotiation Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Valuation is a negotiation, not a formula. Before negotiating valuation with the investor, prepare for the discussion. Consider these points of preparation: Know the current market and what other companies are selling for. This is known as comps or comparables. Have two to three examples of other company exits. Know what other startups are proposing for their valuation. Investors will have seen numerous valuations prior to yours, so it's best to know how you will compare. Decide on your floor valuation below which you will not go. This helps set the decision to walk away when the time comes. Determine your ideal valuation. This is not necessarily the highest valuation but rather the one that fits your overall valuation trajectory for the startup. It's best to map out your valuation from launch to exit so you know where you are trying to go. Finally, prepare to negotiate in good faith with all investors. Avoid the games and work to identify and articulate the values in the business. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Phrases To Remove From Your Pitch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are certain phrases used in startup pitches that kill the credibility of the presenter. Here's a list of phrases to remove from your pitch: "We have no competition." If you have no competition, then you have no market. This basically shows a lack of understanding of the current market landscape. "We only need 1% of a billion-dollar market to make this successful." This is basically a meaningless statement as it conveys no information. This shows a lack of a strategy for entering the market. "This is a conservative forecast." No forecast is ever completely accurate, so it makes no sense to say it's conservative. "Our customers love our product." This doesn't give any solid information about product usage. It's better to show the customers' actual engagement with the product to convince investors. "We'll be profitable in the first year."

Angel Investing Strategies Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Most angel investors focus on one of two strategies. They can be called Moneyball and Powerball. The Moneyball strategy invests the same amount of money in each deal. Each sector gets one investment. There are no follow-on rounds. Funds are considered in addition to startups. The powerball strategy invests a different amount on each deal based on the strength of the team. Specific sectors are chosen based on market outlook. Half the allocation is reserved for a follow-on round. No funds are considered, only startups. Moneyball spreads the money out to find a hit. Powerball looks to find the winners and double down on those. Both strategies can work. Consider which of these strategies you are trying to play for your angel investing.

Say It Out Loud With Words Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The key to a successful pitch is to articulate all the values in the deal. This doesn't mean explaining how the product works in great detail This also doesn't mean spending half your allotted pitch time trying to convince the audience that diabetes is a problem. It does mean, however, that every value that has come into the startup is noted in the pitch deck with at least a logo or a bullet point. The rule of pitching is that if you don't mention it, then it doesn't exist. Here's a list to consider adding to the pitch deck: All funding sources to date, including angels, angel groups, grants, VC funds, and more. All partners, team members, and others who have contributed to building the startup. Any exits and positive outcomes for startups led by the team. All customers who have bought the product or given feedback. Include a logo for each one somewhere in the pitch deck. Investors look for evidence that investors, customers, and partners are supporting you. For each value, say it out loud with words. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Add Consulting to Your Startup Launch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In launching a startup, consider adding a consulting program. New products and services often require additional training and services to help the customer achieve success. Over time, the product improves to the point that the customer can install and run it on their own. In the early days, use consulting to help customers become successful. The startup raising venture capital will need to be scalable to receive funding. Consulting is not scalable. Investors will downgrade the company for funding if a substantial amount of revenue comes from consulting services. Use a second company to provide the consulting. It can form a partnership with the main startup to provide consulting services. If consulting proves valuable to the startup, then it can be bought by the startup and rolled into the main company later. Many startups find that their product is not ready for prime time at the launch. By providing consulting services, one can overcome the initial product weaknesses and potentially make additional revenue to pay the bills. Consider adding consulting to your startup launch. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Most of us see ourselves as leaders, but a whole lot goes into "Leadership."  One of the most vital aspects of persuasion is the credibility and trust people see in you. Credibility can grow over time, and it can also be spent or wasted.   In this episode, Mike and Jim will teach us about building cred with your team, how credibility shapes a leader's ability to influence decisions, maintain team cohesion, and drive mission success. Drawing from research, philosophy, and operational experience, they outline the behaviors that strengthen trust and the missteps that erode it. Strong leadership isn't always about rank or position—it's about credibility. In high-performance teams, the credibility you have determines if you are a true influence on those around you or if you merely hold a title.  Pretty good research article on this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9309999/ How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie - https://amzn.to/49llmSO  Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube) @TacTangents.

Here on our last episode "pre-Sabbatical" we muse on a question asked by one of Preacher Man's favorite students of all time. And it's a good question: what happens when our loved ones pass from this life to the next? Are they sleeping? Are they stuck working out some punishments before they get to heaven? Are they longing for our presence and looking down at us? What does the Bible say...? And hey, if you read this stuff, THANK YOU for being a part of our community and sharing all these questions with us! It's a huge blessing to both of us.

How To Evaluate AI Startups for Investment Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Artificial intelligence brings a new type of startup to the investor for funding. Here is how to evaluate AI startups for investment. Market opportunity. For new applications that have never been done before, AI offers a greenfield opportunity. Estimate the current size of the target market and the value of selling to each one. This often generates an outsized total available market as one solution could cover the entire market. For existing applications that AI enhances, use the existing sales figures for products sold into the market and add the incremental value of the AI-enabled product. Product opportunity. Review how AI-enablement will enhance the capabilities of the product. Will this be a major or minor productivity improvement? Moat. How much of a moat will AI bring to the product? The more algorithm tuning and training data used, the stronger the moat. Deployment. What will it take to deploy the solution? The broader the go-to-market strategy, the more valuable the product. Consider these elements in evaluating an AI startup for investment. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

In this episode of Investor Connect, Hall Martin speaks with Iga Hallberg, Business Development Lead at EV Realty, which develops, deploys, and operates grid-ready charging hubs for commercial fleets. The discussion encompasses Hallberg's extensive experience in electrification and renewable energy, focusing on the creation of sophisticated commercial vehicle charging hubs. Backed by significant private equity investments, EV Realty aims to develop a national network of these sites, primarily in regions like California, Washington, New York, and New Jersey. The conversation shifts to the investable thesis for charging infrastructure, highlighting substantial trends in commercial fleet electrification, particularly within major ports and urban centers. Hallberg elaborates on the criticality of power access, grid constraints, and the strategic partnerships forming to support large-scale infrastructure projects. Hallberg delves into the main business models in the charging hub market, explaining how different sectors like last mile delivery, ride-share, and school buses influence infrastructure design and financing. She notes the growing involvement of real estate developers and utility companies in providing charging solutions and discusses the importance of de-risking projects through solid customer contracts. With the sector witnessing the transition from pilot projects to fully-financed infrastructure assets, Hallberg emphasizes the transformative impact of this shift on the broader energy and mobility landscape. The podcast also touches on the current challenges and opportunities in the industry, such as navigating federal and state policies, adapting to changes in the incentive landscape, and optimizing returns through strategic site selection. The episode concludes with a look at successful past projects and insights into optimal partnership structures between developers, utilities, real estate owners, and fleet operators. Hallberg highlights the significance of energy as a service and its potential to revolutionize various segments, from heavy-duty commercial vehicles to light-duty passenger electric vehicles. Listeners are encouraged to consider the evolving dynamics of the electric vehicle charging market and the compelling investment opportunities it presents.

How do you go from knocking on doors in the snow to running a referral-driven, tax-focused retirement firm? Hamilton Brandenburg shares his path from Chick-fil-A's “my pleasure” culture, to prospecting at Edward Jones, to launching a fee-only practice built around tax-smart retirement planning. A near-lapsing whole life case pushed him toward a model where taxes, decumulation, and clear service rhythms give clients real value they can feel.Hamilton talks about the habits that mattered early, how they evolved into surge meetings and a proactive review schedule, and why retirees need more than pie charts. They need coordination on withdrawals, Roth conversions, Social Security timing, and account sequencing that keeps lifetime taxes low.We also get into the chapter where he built a virtual practice from a 46-foot fifth wheel while raising four kids, and how remote work forced cleaner systems and sharper communication. He shares practical advice for advisors going independent and simple ways retirees can evaluate whether an advisor is really planning through taxes.Social:https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamilton-brandenburg-9a361b12b/Is it in this episode was obtained from Bensound.

Build Your Support Network Before Fundraising Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising can be challenging both mentally and emotionally. Before launching your fundraiser, build your support network. In addition to building your investment documents, put in place people who can support you. Here's a list of support to consider: Advisors -- identify two to three people who can advise about fundraising. This is an informal position of those who have raised funding and can give guidance. Team -- set up your team to help you with the logistics and mechanics of fundraising. This includes email marketing, document preparation, and diligence work. Connectors -- those who have broad networks and are good at making connections. This includes investors who know other investors in the community. Legal -- this includes startup-friendly attorneys who can advise on terms sheets and other legal aspects of the fundraise. Emotional -- this includes people with whom you are comfortable. They tell you what you need to hear rather than what you may want to hear. Consider building this support network before launching your fundraiser.

How To Pay the Bills While Launching a Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Launching a startup is hard work. It takes time to build up the revenue to pay a living wage to the founders. So how does a founder pay the bills while launching a startup? Here's one solution: Provide consulting and training services in the domain of the startup you are building. For example, if the startup is building a software application in the HR space, start by providing training and consulting on HR software. Here are the benefits: It fosters contacts and networking with those in the target market. It engages the founder with the current products. It provides hands-on interaction with customers. It highlights the challenges customers face in their work. It shows how the current solutions are positioned in the market and what price they charge. It shows how the current companies in the market make money. It's okay to have a day job while launching a startup. It's even better to have one that helps educate and inform about the startup's target market.

Over the years, I have demoed quite a lot of games at a few different locations. It all started back in 2019 at Essen Spiel, where I demoed Fog of Love to the German audience. More recently, I have been demoing for Asmodee at UK Games Expo, as well as at my local board game cafe. With every demo, I have honed my skills, learned new tricks and generally fine-tuned my approach. So in this article, I want to share my demoing method, which can also be applied to teaching games in many ways.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/11/demonstrative-board-gaming-my-approach-to-demoing-games-topic-discussion/Useful LinksPost-show blues article: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/11/05/post-show-blues/Wingspan review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/03/16/wingspan/Jaipur review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/02/29/jaipur-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music I use: Bensound.comLicense code: O9I3JPK9A8LBOPOEArtist: : Nick PetrovRoyalty Free Music: Bensound.comLicense code: AJRN7V3CQYPGMCHXArtist: : Nick PetrovSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The Value of Regular Investor Updates Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders who have raised funding should give their investors regular updates. Here's the value of regular updates to the investor: It reminds the investor what you do and what progress you have made. This becomes useful later when the founder goes to raise the next round. It maintains the relationship between the founder and the investor. This becomes useful later when key decisions are made and both sides must come together. It keeps the conversation going so no single meeting becomes a make-or-break event. This takes the pressure off. It informs the investor of how the founder thinks and works. This helps the investor understand the strengths and weaknesses of the founder. It provides the backstory of how the startup reached its current position. This helps the investor understand what has worked and what has not. Investors should press the founder for updates if they are not receiving it. Founders should find a way to provide regular updates to their investors. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

This week we're going to expand our view a little bit as we move out of the world of business resilience and crisis management and go out to the public sector view of Emergency Management. As we go inside the yellow tape.   Hello everyone and welcome to episode 209 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!   This week we're joined by emergency management professional and podcast host Laura James. Laura gives us a glimpse of life inside the yellow tape, including her view of the word "unprecedented" when it comes to disasters and emergencies. Laura says, EM professionals are paid 365 days a year to be prepared for the unprecedented. She talks about the Resilient Heroes podcast, which gives a voice to women in emergency management. Laura tells us that until you put the humanity into what you're doing - EM is just a job. And Laura's advice to women in emergency management is simple: Never say no. Listen to find out what she means.   Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!  We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub! Want to learn more about Mark? Click here or on LinkedIn. Special thanks to Bensound for the music.  

Trying to understand who is and isn't telling you the truth can often be a real daunting task. Who are we supposed to trust, who are we supposed to ignore? Pull up your chair and let's consider what Jesus says in Matthew 24 about the coming signs of the end and how we'd be dealing with some false folks. How will we know they're false? Glad you asked... Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on? Let them know at mtpm.podcast@gmail.com !Intro music: "Royalty Free Music from Bensound"

  Even the best of us get played from time to time. From an Air Force pilot duped into buying thousands in Sephora gift cards, to clever banking and family scams that nearly fooled even the most skeptical of us, we talk about some of the psychology and tactics behind modern frauds: urgency, authority, distraction, and good old-fashioned trust. We'll look at how scams exploit our problem-solving instincts, how technology has supercharged the game, and why protecting your family from fraud might matter more than protecting them from burglars.     Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube) @TacTangents.

In this episode we move on from nutrition and delve into the optimal exercise regime to build muscle and shred fat.  We cover and critique the popular Mike Mentzer approach, and show why this may not be an ideal way to train for maximum results. If you missed Part 1 with Dr Jocic where we cover the nutrtion of the Golden Era bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Serge Nubret, Vince Gironda, and more then make sure to go back and watch it now! Dr. Nash Jocic, PhD is a rare blend of scholar, athlete, and author whose life bridges the worlds of philosophy and muscle. With a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Lincoln, Dr. Jocic has published academic work on Nietzsche's aesthetics and ethics, exploring how ideas of beauty, meaning, and moral purpose intersect. Yet his intellectual credentials are only one facet of his identity. For over 30 years, Dr. Jocic has been deeply embedded in the world of fitness and bodybuilding. He's competed in numerous bodybuilding events, earning a reputation for transforming his own physique and coaching others to do the same. Through his company NashFit Personal Training, he's coached clients across London and beyond, blending scientific precision with decades of hands-on experience. As an author, Dr. Jocic has produced several books and guides aimed at practical transformation. Titles include Burn Fat Build Muscle and Weight Training for Men: The Ultimate Guide to Muscle Growth and Fat Loss. His writing brings together his philosophical rigour and training wisdom, offering readers grounded, research-informed strategies for body recomposition and long-term health.  In this episode, we'll dive into how Dr. Jocic merges his philosophical mindset with decades of physical discipline, uncovering lessons not just about lifting and nutrition — but about identity, mindset, and sustainable transformation.   If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com
