On this week's show we find you the best Black Friday deals for your home theater, well at least at the time of recording. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: YouTube TV and Disney reach agreement to restore channels Disney+ and Hulu near 200 million combined subscribers New Study Finds 38% Of Respondents View TV With Speaker Sound Off Content Discovery Still a Challenge for Streamers Other: ONKYO - Adding Internet Radio Stations Bright Side Home Theater MOVEMBER MEGA RAFFLE 2025 Movember Raffle — Bright Side Home Theater Black Friday 2025 Each year we go through the Black Friday ads from various stores and list items. It's a long list and can be tedious to listen to. So this year we decided to search out what we thought were the best deals on various items for your Home Theater and Smart Home. This year many retailers are not releasing their sales until the last minute and since we are recording one week before Black Friday our list may be missing a few items that pop up later. But here is our early list of things we think you will be interested in: The standout deal for the largest screen size at the lowest price is the 98-inch TCL Q Series 4K QLED Google TV at Walmart for $998 (down from $1,798, saving $800). This is a 2025 model with premium features like 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, and Google TV smart platform—making it ideal for movies, gaming, and streaming without breaking the bank under $1,000. Hisense has a slightly more expensive model that hits that magic 100" mark.  The 100-inch Hisense QLEDs (priced between $1,000–$1,200) delivers the biggest diagonal size for the cheapest absolute dollar amount right now. Deals can fluctuate or sell out quickly, so check often and lock in your price. The Best soundbar deal with dolby ATMOS we have seen so far is the Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4-Channel Soundbar System at $1,000 (save $1,000 off $2,000 MSRP) at Best Buy. It's praised as the "best Dolby Atmos soundbar system" for its massive scale, precise 3D sound, and gaming features (4K/120Hz HDMI). At 50% off, it outperforms pricier competitors in value and power (656W total). If you want something more compact, the JBL Bar 1300X ($1200) edges it for portability. The Govee Holiday sale starts November 20th at Amazon. We don't know what the savings will be but Ara owns some Govee light strips and is very pleased with them. They support Matter and can be installed permanently outdoors.  The best deal on a Samsung high end TV is the Samsung S95F OLED for 2025, known for being bright, vivid colors, deep blacks, and excellent motion handling, this TV is ideal for bright rooms or mixed use. It includes the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor for 4K upscaling, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and Tizen OS with free channels and cloud gaming.  Current Black Friday deal: 65" for  $2,298 at Amazon (save $700 from $2,998)—matches the all-time low. There are 77 and 83 inch models for $3500 and $5000 respectively. The Best Deal on high end wireless speakers the Kef LS50 Wireless II ($2000) is more than a high-performance loudspeaker; it's the perfect all-in-one speaker system, streaming from any source thanks to wireless compatibility with AirPlay 2, Google Cast and more, plus wired connections for your TV, games console and turntable. Great sound, no strings attached. If you are looking for a gift for the Home Theater enthusiast in your life, and that may mean you buy it for yourself. Check out The Home Theater Store. They are running a black friday sale on seating, decor, and accessories. Some examples include popcorn machines starting at $40 and going all the way up to $2000. With savings up to $600. They also have sound panels normally priced at $750 on sale for $500.  The Best deal on the Ring Battery Doorbell is $50 at Amazon. And as long as we are here. THis deal is crazy! Two Blink Mini 2 Home Security & Pet Cameras with HD video, color night view, motion detection, two-way audio, and built-in spotlight for $28! The best overall deal on an OLED TV is the LG 77" C5 Series OLED evo AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025 model) at $1,999.99 at Bestbuy (down from $3,699.99—a $1,700 savings, or 46% off). The LG OLED evo C5 is powered by the next-gen Alpha 9 Gen8 AI Processor —exclusively made for LG OLED—for ultra-realistic picture and sound along with boosted brightness for luminosity and high contrast, even in well-lit rooms. Dolby Vision for extraordinary color, contrast and brightness, plus Dolby Atmos for immersive sound you can feel all around you. FILMMAKER MODE allows you to see films just as the director intended. Packed with gaming features, the LG OLED evo C-Series comes with everything you need to win like a 0.1ms response time, native 120Hz refresh rate, with VRR for PC gaming and four HDMI 2.1 inputs. AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro 4K Laser Projector, (I found a better deal at Amazon after we recorded. $2300!!) has a compact ultra-short-throw (UST) model that transforms any wall or table into a massive, vibrant cinema screen without the bulk of a traditional TV setup. Unlike standard projectors that require dark rooms and precise mounting, this one projects up to 150 inches from just inches away, with built-in speakers delivering Dolby Audio and a sleek, furniture-like design that blends into your space. Priced at $2,999 (down from $3,999—a $1,000 savings with discount code obtained at the AWOL site) A killer deal on an AVR is the Denon AVR-X2700H for $680. At this price it would have made our list of best AV receivers for enthusiasts. It has 95W per channel, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats for up to 5.1.2 setups, Audyssey room calibration. It features 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video passthrough with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, and HDMI 2.1 connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.  The best deal on a no-frills subwoofer that packs a punch is the Klipsch Reference R-121SW ($350 at Walmart regular price $650). 400W peak power, 29-120Hz response, front-firing port for room-filling punch; ideal for movies/gaming. Compact at 16"H x 14"W. Known for it's "chest-thumping" bass without the boominess. Perfect starter upgrade for under $350. The craziest 50-Inch TV Deal we have seen is the Insignia 50" Class F50 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV at $169.99 at Best Buy. Is this a great TV? No but it's shockingly good value with Alexa voice control, built-in Fire TV streaming, and DTS Virtual:X audio for immersive sound without extra speakers. Picture quality is decent for bright rooms. Home Depot has great deals on Nest Thermostats. Some deals are active now and others on Black Friday. We are reading that Home Depot will have the Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) available for $199. It's regularly priced at $279. Check out their site for more BLACK FRIDAY DEALS FROM GOOGLE SMART HOME.

Es ist eine der stillsten Routen im südlichen Afrika – von den weiten Ebenen des Kafue Nationalparks bis in die endlosen Graslandschaften der Liuwa Plains.Zwei Orte, die kaum unterschiedlicher sein könnten, und doch eines gemeinsam haben: Einsamkeit.Im Kafue beginnt alles mit Weite. Flüsse, die sich durch dichte Miombo-Wälder schlängeln, Löwen, die am frühen Morgen durch das hohe Gras ziehen, und dieses Gefühl, dass man hier in einer Welt ist, die sich kaum verändert hat. Kein Verkehr, keine Hektik – nur Busch, Wind und das Summen der Zikaden.Und dann Liuwa – der vielleicht abgeschiedenste Nationalpark Sambias. Eine endlose Savanne, die sich bis zum Horizont zieht. Hier gibt es kaum Lodges, kaum Straßen, kaum Menschen – nur Stille und das rhythmische Stampfen der zweiten größten Gnu-Migration Afrikas.SHOWNOTESWir:Kontakt: hi@couchsafari.me Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/couchsafaripodcast/Unsere Website: https://www.couch-safari.dePartner:Venter Tours: https://www.ventertours.de/couchsafari/ - 5% auf alle Safaris mit dem Code: COUCH SAFARIHansea Invest: https://www.hanseainvest.de/ - 1% Cashback mit dem Code: COUCH SAFARIBuddySim: https://www.buddysim.com/ - 20% auf alle eSims mit dem Code: COUCH20Green Safaris: https://greensafaris.com/ - Best Deal mit dem Code: COUCH SAFARIGoZoomIt: https://www.gozoomit.com/ - 5% auf alle Ferngläser mit dem Code: COUCHSAFARI5Flaconi: https://www.flaconi.de/ - 10% mit dem Code: SAFARI10 Hosted on Acast.

Mana Pools ist einer dieser Orte, die man nie vergisst – und das gilt auch für seine Bewohner. Hier stellen sich Elefanten auf die Hinterbeine, um an Akazien zu kommen, als hätten sie heimlich im Zirkus trainiert. Und es ist völlig normal, aus dem Auto zu springen, um den Tieren zu Fuß noch ein Stück näher zu sein.In dieser Folge geht's um das wilde Herz des Sambesi-Tals, um Begegnungen, die man besser nicht provoziert, und um das wahrscheinlich frechste Tier Afrikas: den Honigdachs.Ein Tier, das weder Angst noch Respekt kennt – außer vielleicht vor sich selbst.SHOWNOTESWir:Kontakt: hi@couchsafari.me Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/couchsafaripodcast/Unsere Website: https://www.couch-safari.dePartner:Venter Tours: https://www.ventertours.de/couchsafari/ - 5% auf alle Safaris mit dem Code: COUCH SAFARIHansea Invest: https://www.hanseainvest.de/ - 1% Cashback mit dem Code: COUCH SAFARIBuddySim: https://www.buddysim.com/ - 20% auf alle eSims mit dem Code: COUCH20Green Safaris: https://greensafaris.com/ - Best Deal mit dem Code: COUCH SAFARIGoZoomIt: https://www.gozoomit.com/ - 5% auf alle Ferngläser mit dem Code: COUCHSAFARI5Flaconi: https://www.flaconi.de/ - 10% mit dem Code: SAFARI10 Hosted on Acast.

The inevitable has occurred for Xbox gamers, as now the "Best Deal in Gaming" Xbox Game Pass Ultimate skyrockets up in price by 50% to $30 a month in the United States, and even more in other regions. PC Game Pass went up to $16.50 as well. The question now is, is it still worth it? Well, the rush to cancel Game Pass was big enough to crash the cancellation page. Is this the sign of the end? Or is it once again a lot of grandstanding to wind up returning? Sean and Marc discuss their thoughts on the situation, and could Call of Duty be the biggest reason for this change? The dooming did not end there as another rumor quickly began to spread that Microsoft would be introducing a free ad tier of Xbox Cloud and even be done with hardware entirely, which Microsoft actually came out and refuted. Will Xbox actually have a console in 2027/2028? Or are we just waiting for more bad news down the line? Plus, aside from all of the Xbox stuff, the PS5 Dualsense may get a replaceable battery, Rock Band 4 is delisted from digital storefronts, the Golden Joystick Awards made some interesting nominee choices, and a whole lot more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/SpPJoxWZKeYListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

And sometimes for a short while it works -- but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is: First, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So, soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying.

The marketing landscape has shifted dramatically – what was once a choice between one or two specialized partners has become a crowded marketplace with hundreds of agencies competing for your business.The result? A dangerous race to the bottom on pricing that's creating a false economy for brands seeking growth.We break down real agency economics with unfiltered transparency, revealing exactly what happens when you're offered four team members for just $4,000 monthly. The math doesn't lie: with junior media buyers costing $65,000 annually plus burden costs and agencies needing 20% margins to survive, your "bargain" partnership means you're getting roughly 10% of each team member's attention – about four hours monthly. Can someone transform your business in four hours a month? The answer should concern every growth-focused founder.P.S.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you prepared to sell your agency if the right opportunity presents itself? Making your business sale-ready requires more than just financial preparation—it demands emotional readiness and the ability to set ego aside. With pleasure, we are featuring a long time mastermind member on the show who, after recently selling his agency, now describes himself as a “recovering agency owner”. It was an unexpected opportunity that turned into an amazing deal for the seller and buyer. Jordan discusses the way he took control of his agency's future by pursuing the sale, what he'd change about the process, and the importance of having a plan for post-sale integration. Our guest is Jordan Choo, a recovering agency owner who previously founded, built, and sold Kogneta, a digital marketing firm focused on helping local businesses grow effectively. He is a longtime friend of the podcast who was mastermind member for sixy years before selling his agency. He is here to talk about the acquisition process, which began through an introduction from another agency owner rather than a typical unsolicited acquisition offer. In this episode, we'll discuss: Turning a potential partnership into an acquisition If you want to sell, leave emotions and ego at the door. Overcoming 2 common agency owner struggles.  Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources FREE Training: Feeling stuck in your agency? You're not alone.

Don't let your agency hold you back. Let's build the future you deserve. Turning a Potential Partnership into an Agency Acquisition If you run an agency, and especially if you've grown beyond a certain point, you should be really clear about your why and what you have in mind for the future. There's a chance you started as a lifestyle business. In that case, there isn't much to worry about beyond maintaining profitability. However, if you started it with the intention to grow that business to eventually sell, then that will dictate how to grow your agency. At some point, most agency owners have gotten the typical pitch email expressing interest in buying their business. In Jordan's case, it all started with an introduction from another agency owner. The contact wasn't specifically looking to purchase his agency, but for a white label partner to provide marketing services in order to expand their value to clients. After a few conversations with this agency, Jordan realized it would make more sense for them to acquire his agency rather than getting into a longtime partnership. It was a pretty good fit in terms of their cultures and how their agencies were structured. Hence, he was encouraged to bring the matter up and ask them their thoughts about a potential merge. What started as Jordan's curiosity about the buyer's serious intentions evolved into meaningful discussions about merging the businesses. The organic nature of these conversations led to a deal that benefited both parties, with the entire process—from initial talks to signing a formal letter of intent—taking approximately five months. Selling Your Agency? Leave Ego and Emotions at the Door Understanding that ego can be a deal-breaker in business transactions, Jordan approached his agency's sale by being pragmatic and emotionally detached. He established a realistic valuation range and minimum acceptable offer before negotiations began. Fortunately, his expectations aligned well with the buyer's assessment, which streamlined the negotiation process. In the best case scenario, both parties are adequately educated on how the business should be fairly valued. But for that to happen, you need to separate the part of your identity that is closely linked to the business and have a clear path for what comes next after the sale. What are you looking for to doing post sale? Do you have plans to start a new business or follow a new interest? If you can't answer these questions, maybe it's not your time to sell. In his case, Jordan wants to rest, take some time off, and then go back to focusing his time and energy on growing a brand, instead of focusing on several brands at the same time, like he used to do with his agency. Overcoming 2 Common Agency Owner Struggles Reflecting on his agency journey, Jordan identified two critical challenges that influenced his business's growth trajectory: team building and role transition. In the early stages, he struggled with making effective hiring decisions and came to realize that the team you choose defines how quickly or slowly you grow. He also understands building the right team requires absolute clarity about the business's objectives. Without a clear vision, you cannot guide your team in the right direction and build the right foundation so they can make decisions without you. By investing time in the hiring process and ensuring alignment with the agency's values and goals, owners can cultivate a team that is competent and motivated to drive growth. As the agency expanded, Jordan faced another common challenge: the difficult transition from working IN the business to working ON it. While he was naturally drawn to sales activities, his role as owner demanded focus on strategic initiatives like business growth planning, marketing strategy, leadership development, and creating standard operating procedures (SOPs) for effective delegation. This all goes back to delegation, a common struggle often stemming from a fear of losing control. Delegation, in this sense, should be not just about offloading work but about strategically positioning the right people in the right roles to achieve collective success. Why You Shouldn't Skip the Integration Plan Jordan has no regrets about how the acquisition went down. In fact, he wouldn't change anything about the negotiation process. However, he does wish he would've spent more time structuring an integration plan. To him, the first 90 days post sale should be laid out and planned for to ensure a smooth transition. For agency owners considering a sale, Jordan recommends thoroughly understanding the buyer's motivations and intended use of the acquired agency. This understanding is crucial because it directly impacts the post-sale relationship. He advises against committing to lengthy employment agreements if the acquiring company doesn't have a clear need for the owner's continued involvement. In his case, Jordan treated the purchase agreement and the employment agreement as two separate entities and two separate negotiations, which proved to be the best course of action.
