Mike Caldwell sits down with Scott Bess, President of the Indiana Charter Innovation Center and a member of the Indiana State Board of Education, for a wide-ranging conversation about what's broken in K-12 education — and what's actually being done to fix it. Scott shares his winding path from classroom teacher to CIO at Goodwill Industries to education innovator, including the founding of the Excel Centers: a now-nationwide network of 60+ charter schools helping adults without diplomas earn credentials and transform their economic trajectories. Scott argues passionately for blowing up discrete subject areas, seat-time requirements, and the Carnegie Unit, while making the case for micro schools as a scalable, flexible alternative to traditional schooling. He also shares an exciting — and underutilized — vision for AI in education: not as a tutor for students, but as an operating system that maximizes teacher impact by matching kids to instruction exactly when they need it. The episode wraps with a look at Indiana's systematic approach to education reform — streamlining standards, redesigning the diploma, and aligning the legislature, governor's office, and state board around a shared agenda — as a model for what's possible when the right people are in lockstep.

How Cheque Helps Service Businesses Get Paid Faster with Dynamic Discounting  Adrienne interviews Julia, founder of Cheque, who moved from Sweden to the US after leaving her role at a Stockholm accelerator to start an invoicing platform for service businesses. Drawing on interviews with about 100 service providers, Julia explains how Cheque uses dynamic discounting—letting businesses offer optional discounted net 5 or net 10 terms alongside standard net terms—so clients can pay early for a 1%–3% discount, helping vendors improve cash flow without relying on lines of credit or factoring. They discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, the pain points in existing bookkeeping and invoicing tools, and Cheque's longer-term vision for a “credit exchange without credit” that could route early-payment demand across the platform. Julia shares how to contact her and notes Cheque's free plan and QuickBooks integration. Contact Julia on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliadelin/Cheque Website: https://www.chequepay.co/Contact Adrienne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriennewilkerson/Beacon Media & Marketing Website: https://www.beaconmm.com/ Follow Beacon Media & Marketing Social Mediahttps://www.linkedin.com/company/beacon-media-marketing/posts/?feedView=allhttps://www.facebook.com/beaconmm/https://www.instagram.com/beaconmm/ 00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:18 Julia's Founder Story01:29 How Cheque Works02:37 Taking the Leap04:02 Entrepreneur Rollercoaster08:14 Big Vision for SMBs09:45 Cash Flow Alternative12:06 Dynamic Discounting Demo16:35 Proactive vs Collections19:51 Credit Exchange Vision21:32 Roadmap and Risk22:39 Free Plan and Contact23:58 Healthcare Use Case27:03 Closing Thanks

In this episode, Jess and Thom take on a topic that may sound counterintuitive: the danger of a big vision. We both believe vision matters—but we've also seen how it can quietly become a distraction. Too many church leaders spend time talking about where they want to go and not enough time taking the next step to get there. We'll walk through how big vision, when not grounded in action, can actually slow a church down—and how to refocus on the simple, practical steps that lead to real progress.

There are two completely different kinds of action in a business — and most people are either mixing them up or don't realize there's a difference at all. There are the actions you take to make money now and get clients. And there are the actions you take to build toward the bigger vision — the life and business you're ultimately working toward. These are not always the same. And confusing them is keeping a lot of people stuck.In this episode, I'm breaking it all down — because the truth is, your business exists to fund your life. Not the other way around. The big vision — the body of work, the lifestyle, the freedom, the health, the version of yourself you're becoming — that's what this is all for. But you cannot start there. You cannot build the dream business model before you have a business that makes money. The money comes first. And that means the actions that get you to money now have to come first too.What I see constantly — with people just starting out and with people who have been building for years — is that they're doing tomorrow's work today. They're taking big vision actions when what they actually need right now is a client and revenue. Or they've been so locked into the immediate hustle that they've never given themselves permission to think about what they're actually building toward. Both are a problem. And this episode is about how to hold both — clearly, intentionally, and in the right order.Reasons to tune in:The difference between Big Vision actions and Immediate Goal actions — and why knowing which one you're taking changes everythingWhy you cannot build your dream business model first — and what you actually have to do before any of that becomes possibleHow to use a four-quadrant framework to map the full picture of what you're working toward: lifestyle, business, health, and identityWhy the right immediate action is almost always simpler than what most people are doing — and what it actually looks likeHow to wake up every morning and know exactly which kind of action belongs in your dayThis is for you whether you're just getting started or years into building — because the confusion between these two kinds of action doesn't go away on its own. It just gets more expensive.

Pastor Mike Hovland Daniel 8:1-27

Today we begin a three part series in which we explore the idea of the subtle body, a concept found in many contemplative and healing traditions around the world. From yogic energy channels to Daoist internal alchemy, the subtle body refers to the layers of human experience that lie between the physical body and consciousness, suggesting that our lives may unfold through more dimensions than the purely material. In this episode, scholar and martial artist Simon Cox interviews Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy. Murphy was born in Salinas, California in 1930, making him a lively 95 years old at the time of this recording. He is a longtime student of Sri Aurobindo's integral philosophy and the author of numerous innovative books that approach the topic of the subtle body — including 1992's The Future of the Body and 1995's In the Zone. Throughout his career, Murphy has made it a priority to investigate extraordinary human capacities and the further evolution of human nature. Simon Cox brings a unique perspective to this conversation. he spent six years training in Daoist internal arts at Wudang Mountain in China before earning his PhD from Rice University. His book The Subtle Body: A Genealogy traces the history of subtle body concepts across cultures, and his research explores how these ideas have shaped both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. He's currently a research fellow at Esalen's Center for Theory and Research. He holds weekly conversations with Michael Murphy as part of a collaborative effort to illuminate the deeper architecture of Esalen's mission. Simon is currently writing a new book on Esalen's intellectual history — a mythic excavation of Murphy's “Big Vision”: the radical, reality-bending aspiration that seeded Esalen's creation and continues to shape its evolutionary field.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jamie Siminoff is the founder of Ring, which he sold to Amazon for over a billion dollars. He's an inventor and builder who couldn't hear his doorbell while working in his garage, so he built a video doorbell. When his wife said it made her feel safer, he realized technology had changed, and home security needed a complete reinvention. Ring became the world's largest home security company with a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Key Learnings  Jeff Bezos reads and writes his own stuff. When Jamie asked Jeff to write something for the book's back cover, Jeff actually read it and wanted his own curated quote that was from him. Jeff loves entrepreneurs, so they kept him out of negotiations. After the Whole Foods deal, Amazon learned to keep Jeff out of negotiations because he finds it tough to negotiate hard with someone he respects. Hardware companies can die while growing fast. Ring grew from $3M to $30M to $174M to $480M, which sounds amazing. But to go from $170M to $480M, you're buying hundreds of millions of dollars of product when you're selling less than that. If sales growth slows, you're basically going out of business. Going from $480M to over a billion in revenue was like being on a motorcycle at 200 miles an hour. If a leaf falls down and hits you, you're dead. At Amazon, when Ring said, "We need another billion dollars to order stuff for next year," Amazon said, "Okay, what else do you want?" There are different types of entrepreneurs. Jamie is an inventor/entrepreneur. There are business entrepreneurs who are maniacal business people we've never heard of that have just crushed it. Jamie is maniacal on product and brings invention into how they run the company. Hire marathon runners. Marathons are the dumbest thing any human could ever do. Even if you win, no one cares. Jamie finished the Boston Marathon in 22,000th place and he's so proud of himself. You want people that don't care about external validation; they just care about getting the mission done. AI has democratized all information. With AI making it so you don't even need to know C++ programming anymore, fill your business with passionate people who care about the mission and they'll crush anything. When building your team, start with the mission. Jamie tells people, "Our mission is to make neighborhoods safer. Do you want to work on making neighborhoods safer? Because if you don't, you're going to be miserable here. You're going to hear it every day, and you're going to roll your eyes."  Referrals work because people don't want to let you down. The best hires are when someone's referred by someone (uncle, friend, whatever) because they feel guilty. They don't want to let the person who referred them down. Find an infinite truth to work on. Amazon's core principles are infinite: Will customers always want lower price, more selection, and faster delivery? Yes. If you deliver in 30 minutes, they'll want it in 10 minutes. Making neighborhoods safer is an infinite thing to work on. Your wife saying one thing can change everything. Jamie built a video doorbell so he could hear the door from his garage. His wife said, "It makes me feel safer at home." That's when he realized technology had changed and home security needed a whole new approach. The hard part is bringing the infinite down to the tactical. When you have an infinite mission, you can get overwhelmed trying to solve it all at once. You have to figure out what to do every single day to work toward that infinite goal. Shark Tank was a disaster that turned into everything. Jamie went on Shark Tank desperately needing money. He got zero offers and cried in his car after. But when it aired, the boost in sales gave them cash to hire people and build Ring, which started the clock on their success. Sometimes you can't stop because you're in too deep. After Shark Tank bombed, Jamie couldn't back out. He'd already ordered too many products and owed too much money. He'd be personally bankrupt if he stopped. People think he's tough for keeping going, but he didn't have a choice. Being naive is a superpower. Great inventions are things people say can't happen because if they could happen, they'd already be out there. You have to be naive enough to say "I think I can do this" or "I don't even know that I can't." People said you couldn't build a battery-operated camera on WiFi. Jamie had never built anything before, so what did he know? They just went out and tried to put some parts together that seemed like they would work. Knowing too much gets in the way of doing the work. If you're thinking and analyzing the whole world, that's time you're not inventing, building, making calls. When are you actually doing the work? The Ring.com domain negotiation was survival. The owner originally wanted $750K for the domain. Jamie had $178K in the bank on the day he was supposed to pay. He called and said "My board said I can't do the deal, but they approved $175K today and $1M total over two years." The guy hung up, called back, and said fine. There was no board, it was just Jamie.  The stress internalized and destroyed him. Jamie wasn't sleeping and was super stressed. There are different types of entrepreneurs: some can handle that stress and sleep like a baby. Jamie internalized it, and it affected him terribly. Be transparent at home. Jamie's son was six years old and knew where the business was. His kindergarten teacher would say, "I hear the business isn't going well." They just had open, adult conversations about everything. Work-life integration, not balance. Jamie integrated work, life, and family together. His son came with him to pick up the first DoorBot in China. Oliver has been to 40 countries and almost every state because he traveled to every meeting. Bring your kid to the meeting. People asked, "How do you bring your kid to a meeting?" Jamie said, "Who do you think they're gonna remember more?" We're always scared to be different. Follow your passion, but make money when you need to. It's hard to see anyone who's achieved greatness who didn't do what they loved. But there are times you have to work your ass off to make money (Jamie was a bellhop and valet parking cars). When you set out to do something, do something you care about. If you fail trying to make money, that really sucks. If you fail trying to do something you love, at least you tried to do something you love. If Ring fails, they try to make neighborhoods safer. That's noble. You can tell who's successful by how fast they respond. It's a weird flip-flop of what it should be. You'd think a successful person should respond in a month, but the people running at the highest levels are actually very efficient. There's something about it. First principles thinking eliminates recurring meetings. There's no way every single Monday at 9 AM you have something important to talk about. The world can't exist like that. Meet when you need to do something, not on some cadence. Hire the best and let them work. Get the best quarterback, best kicker, best coach. Let them work together, let them practice, have the plays. You don't need to get together every day to talk about how you're feeling. No standing meetings, zero recurring one-on-ones. Jamie doesn't have a standing meeting with his team in any cadence. He talks to people all day long, all night long, Sundays, but it's event-based. "We have to get sales up on this, where are the issues?" If you're not doing your job, we'll fire you. Service to others is the best thing you can do. A year from now, Jamie would be celebrating something on the charitable side. Probably something with their work in South Central LA with LAPD, or at their 75-acre farm in Missouri helping the town that's been impacted by opioids and industrial farming.

Efforts to tackle the climate and nature crisis often focus on policy, science and activism. But according to Will Hayler, founder and CEO of The Blue Earth Summit, real transformation will only happen when entrepreneurs and investors are fully part of the conversation. Speaking about the philosophy behind the Blue Earth Summit, Will argues that innovation and enterprise are essential if environmental solutions are to move beyond ideas and into the real economy. “If you're really serious about solving problems, you need entrepreneurs in the room,” he says. Scaling solutions requires capital, markets and commercial incentives. While science and policy define the problem, entrepreneurs are often the ones who turn ideas into practical products and services. For architects, planners and designers, this represents an opportunity. Across the UK alone, plans to build 1.5 million homes in the coming years will shape the nation's landscape for decades. Decisions made today about materials, planning and urban design will define the health and sustainability of future communities. Will believes the design industry should see this not as a burden, but as a privilege.“People working in climate and sustainability sometimes expect sympathy,” he says. “But I see it differently. It's lucky you. You're working at the cutting edge of what the world needs.” Designers, he argues, have the chance to rethink how humanity lives — creating cities that are cleaner, healthier and more connected to nature. Will is also clear-eyed about the motivations that drive the private sector. “Businesses will only do the right thing if it benefits them,” he says, pointing to the reality that return on investment and competitive advantage ultimately shape corporate decisions. Rather than criticise that system, the summit aims to work within it. One of its core goals has been to bring together groups that have historically operated in separate spheres. “We wanted to create that connection between third sector and private sector,” Will explains, arguing that NGOs, scientists and businesses must collaborate if environmental progress is to accelerate. Central to this approach is reframing the narrative around sustainability. Instead of presenting environmental action as a burden, Will believes it should be positioned as an opportunity. In his view, sustainability needs to be understood as a form of upgrade — delivering healthier environments, smarter materials and more resilient systems. “The sustainability movement is best framed around wellbeing for everyone, forever,” he says. This shift is particularly relevant in the built environment, where designers, architects and developers are shaping the places where people spend most of their lives. Integrating nature into buildings and cities can have profound health benefits. As Will puts it: “People that spend more time in nature are healthier than those that don't. So how can you bring that into your design and sell it as an upgrade?” At the same time, he believes the next wave of environmental innovation will focus heavily on circular systems and resource efficiency. “Waste management is a massive, massive issue at the moment,” he notes, pointing to the need for designers and entrepreneurs to rethink materials and production processes. Will is optimistic about the direction of travel. Clean energy, he argues, is abundant and increasingly affordable. “Energy is free and abundant, through the sun and through the wind,” he says, imagining a future powered by renewable systems. If innovators, investors and designers can work together, he believes the outcome could be transformative. “The future can and should be radically better than what we have today.” Chapter 1 — Opening and Guest Introduction (0:00 – 0:42)Chapter 2 — Will's Background and the Blue Earth Summit's Purpose (0:42 – 4:03)Chapter 3 — The Summit's Focus, Leverage, and the Role of Entrepreneurship (4:03 – 9:32)Chapter 4 — Building a Bridge: Business, NGOs, and the “Upgrade” Narrative (9:32 – 16:38) Chapter 5 — Regenerative Design, Biophilia, and the Built Environment (16:38 – 21:33)Chapter 6 — Scaling, Investment, and Cross‑Border Opportunity (21:33 – 29:53)Chapter 7 — Nature-Based Design, Health, and the Big Vision (29:53 – 40:22).

In this episode of MakingChips, we continue our young founders series with a story that challenges the traditional growth narrative in manufacturing.  At just 26, Walter Peters is balancing a full-time job at a defense-focused shop with building MW Machine Co. from a modest 500-square-foot industrial unit. Walter didn't start with a big loan or a brand-new machine. He bought a used CNC mill for $6,500, kept overhead intentionally low, and focused on getting good at both machining and business fundamentals. But what makes this conversation especially interesting isn't just how he started. It's how he defines success. Walter isn't chasing 100 spindles or a massive payroll. He's building toward a highly automated, small-footprint, lifestyle-oriented shop that gives him time freedom and intellectual stimulation without the burden of heavy overhead or HR complexity. We talk about finding work with no formal sales plan, leveraging Google reviews, balancing a day job while building a business, using AI as a thinking partner, and why low stress starts with low fixed costs.

Texas wrestling is on the verge of a major shift — and Coach Grant Leath is right in the middle of it.In Episode 435 of Airey Bros Radio, we go belly-to-belly with Coach Grant Leath, head wrestling coach at Tarleton State and a key part of the Texas Collegiate Wrestling Foundation, to talk about building a program with national ambition — and what it could mean for the first NCAA Division I wrestling future in Texas history.We get into Grant's Missouri roots, how injuries shaped him as a coach, the culture of “Tiger Style” (and why he's adjusted training to protect athletes who are too motivated), and what it's really like fundraising from scratch — including the wild idea of a bull-riding fundraiser.We also spotlight what doesn't get enough love: the NCWA. Grant explains why the NCWA is one of the biggest opportunity-makers in wrestling, how it can function as a pipeline for roster caps, and why it may be the sport's best “insurance policy” in uncertain NCAA times.Plus: Grant's health-conscious dress shoe brand built for recovery (“running shoe disguised as a dress shoe”), recruiting angles, tuition hacks for out-of-state athletes, and why Texas is still massively under-tapped.Key topics: Tarleton State Wrestling, Texas D1 wrestling, NCWA, Tiger Style, Rob Cole, Stanford Wrestling, Missouri Wrestling, recruiting, fundraising, roster caps, NCAA uncertainty, in-state tuition waivers, Texas wrestling growth, Shreveport NCWA nationals.Show Notes With Timestamps0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting JUCO/NAIA/D2/D3/NCWA programs + getting Jersey kids everywhere2:26 Full ABR intro + guest intro: Coach Grant Leath (Tarleton State) + Texas Collegiate Wrestling Foundation5:20 Recruiting plugs + where to learn more (tsu wrestling site, updates, newsletter)6:11 Grant plugs his product: health-conscious dress shoes (recovery-focused), copper threading + Hoka-style outsole8:33 ABR pitch: “I'll run a marathon in your dress shoes” cross-promo (Leadville + 26.2 talk)10:23 Grant's origin story: tiny-town Missouri kid hears “wrestling” and thinks WWE11:50 First practice moment: coach tells dad “he's a natural” — and Grant can't quit after that13:13 Coaching starts in college: injuries, surgeries, and coaching teammates while sidelined14:47 Career impact: major injuries, peak ranking, nationals finish, and the hard stop16:07 The bitter taste + leaving wrestling… briefly (Florida job)17:08 Lessons from injuries: film study, mental reps, never guaranteed anything, gratitude for mat time18:50 Training philosophy shift: balancing “one more” with recovery for intrinsically motivated athletes21:20 Breaking down Tiger Style: identity, daily choices, culture pillars, “one more” mentality23:03 ABR adopting “one more” into coaching/PE culture24:03 Path to Stanford: missing wrestling, Tampa Jesuit help, Stanford storyline + Rob Cole connection25:54 The legendary Rob Cole reply: “not qualified” + equipment room joke → then the real invite27:39 Driving 44 hours to the Bay Area + first real coaching break30:47 Staff change → being let go + the Texas D1 opportunity emerges33:47 Fundraising rumor confirmed: bull riding fundraiser idea (Tarleton rodeo culture)36:20 Comedy fundraiser: Grant does 10 minutes opening for Greg Warren (sold-out event)41:18 Reality check: fundraising without alumni, room, or built-in base — “what am I fundraising for?”42:39 D1 timeline tease: conference acceptance + “major announcement soon” (careful not to overpromise)43:54 Season update: roster changes, ranked progress, D1 opponents, tournament placers, NCWA ranking46:22 Recruiting pitch: being first in Texas, trailblazer mindset, “do what Little Rock did — faster”49:34 Mike Moyer/NWCA goal: a D1 program in every state + Texas impact53:09 Why the NCWA matters: opportunities, roster caps pipeline, growth, and wrestling's safety net59:11 NCWA gripe: Club Cup duels restriction conflicts with “opportunity” mission1:00:52 Tarleton recruiting: in-state tuition waiver for out-of-state (GPA/SAT/class rank)1:03:00 Location + campus growth + Texas A&M system resources1:03:43 Tarleton majors: education, nursing, engineering, ag + job placement stats1:06:00 Roster makeup: mostly Texas kids + untapped recruiting market1:11:05 Texas wrestling participation growth + number of programs vs public schools1:13:13 Tarleton as new D1 athletic department + campus culture (clean campus, “don't walk on the grass”)1:15:03 “60% female population” note for the single wrestlers

What is needed more than resolutions is a revelation. ====================

Tim is grieving. The Jags lost, and we are all choosing to respect the process. Andrew is still faithfully preaching through the Gospel of John, now 20 weeks in and only 10 chapters down. At this rate, we'll finish sometime around the second coming, but no one is rushing perfection.Frank, on the other hand, had a big week. Cross and Crown hosted an official event and over 400 people showed up, which is either incredibly encouraging or deeply terrifying, depending on the moment. Lakeview is in full vision-casting mode, talking future, direction, and what's next.Meanwhile, Safety Harbor is trying very hard to be a good neighbor… even when there's a zydeco band playing right outside during the service. Nothing tests pastoral focus like an unexpected accordion solo in the middle of prayer.Ministry is happening, the Gospel is still being preached, and the neighbors are definitely having more fun than we are.

My Guest: Brian Kelly is the founder of The Points Guy, which he built from a side hustle blog into a travel media empire that he sold for $28 million. At 42, he's now an angel investor in 15+ companies, including Bilt (valued at $11 billion). In this conversation, he shares lessons on manifestation, selling too early, building yourself into the brand, and why vulnerability beats wins in interviews. Key Learnings (in Brian's words) In 1995, I was 12 years old, and I was great with computers, so I started booking all of my dad's travel for work. He'd pay me $10 per booking. Then it turned into points, when my dad showed me all the American and US Air miles he had. "If you can figure out how to use all of them, we can go on a family trip."  And the rest is history. That was my first real, oh wait, this points thing is amazing. Points were a way for us to live a fabulous lifestyle.  I grew up thinking we were poor, but I really wanted to live a fabulous life. My parents were very humble and did not spend money lavishly. For me I always wanted to travel. When I was a kid, I would spin the globe and be like, This is where I'm going. I would actually research Oman. Somehow genetically, I got this gene of I need to be rich and travel the world. I used to call Mercedes, get all of their glossy pamphlets for all their new cars, and I would cut them out and stick them on my wall.  Manifesting alone won't make you wealthy, but visioning helps. I do believe being able to visualize what it looks like and taste it and get close to it helps you take the smaller steps to actually achieve it. When I think of my investments, I actually envision what they're gonna be. I envision that they're multi-billion-dollar companies. I believe it unlocks a level of pushing you to reach these mini steps that you can't see throughout the process. I started The Points Guy in 2010, but there were already Titan bloggers. I for sure felt imposter syndrome, but I saw that what they lacked was creativity. Points and miles are very clinical. Very few people were translating that for an audience. I knew I had an opportunity. I'm in my twenties, living in New York City. I'm gonna explain what everyday people need to know. Building a media brand became my moat. No one else in the points world was doing media. Doing media's frightening. While it was scary going on TV the first couple times (I almost fainted), I knew that each time I did it, I got better. That was the moat I would build. I would build The Points Guy into a brand more so than any of the others who had come before me. I saw from the beginning to double and triple down on that strategy of building something that's more than just a blog, but a lifestyle that people want to achieve. "I made a million bucks in my first six months of just blogging, but using affiliate links." In 2011, within six months of learning about affiliate marketing, I made six figures a month using the credit card links in my blog.  I was still working at Morgan Stanley. My mom was like, this sounds too good to be true. You can't leave Morgan Stanley. I was making like $300,000 a month in affiliate. Meanwhile, at Morgan Stanley, my salary is $70,000 a year. But it didn't pay right away. My parents actually lent me $10,000 just to pay my rent. I remember where I was in Madrid when that first Chase deposit of $490,000 hit from months of back pay on the blog. I sold for $28 million because I thought the industry would collapse. When Bankrate offered me $28 million in May 2012, I kind of had this negative mindset over where the industry was going. About a hundred blogs started when people knew they could make money on affiliates. Most bloggers have zero business sense. They were writing stuff like, "Cancel your Amex, cancel your Chase, cancel, cancel. Then get new cards." I saw this really bad business sense, very shortsighted greediness. I'm watching this thinking they're gonna pull the rug. Do I regret selling? Yes, the company is way more than what I sold it for. But at the time, you always have to remember what the landscape was. We're coming out of the recession. There were still a lot of weak indicators. Building myself into the brand gave me leverage. I had a three and a half year earnout. Over that time, the business really started to grow, but then I realized, well, I am also the business. So, the more press I did, when I negotiated with that parent company to stay on, they paid me a lot of money and still a cut of the business to grow it as CEO. It's kind of crazy to think 13 years after selling, I'm still here. But because I built myself as a core part of the business as The Points Guy, I've been able to stay on with less risk, getting paid well to do what I love. I'm more of the brand visionary, the consumer person. I'm very much an ideas person. When we're speaking with our longtime clients or pitching new ones, that's really where my special sauce is used and not in the day-to-day. People are not mind readers. In 2020, I had this breakdown where I thought I would actually leave. I went to the owners, and I was like, I just can't do it anymore. They said, "Brian, we've been waiting for you to say that. You don't need to be CEO. We have plenty of smart people." It was this aha moment. I think in life we often think polar, black or white. That's advice I give to people. Whether it's your parent company, your boss, your mentor, people are not mind readers. While there is risk to leveling with someone and saying, "Hey, this role is just killing me," more often than not in my career, the more vulnerable I was, the more it turned out to be such a blessing. Check Your Spam Email Frequently: In 2011, I was featured in the New York Times, but the email came to my spam email. At that time, the narrative that points were dead, blackout dates, etc. I was the only blogger putting a positive spin on points. And I tried to do it in an informative and fun way. I'm 6'7", so putting my personal angle on my travel reviews had a huge impact on being the face of this industry.  As a founder, I was a tough boss because it was so personal. If I look back at my time as CEO, I still took it very personally. I do take the integrity of this site. As we expand, we can't forego quality. In hindsight, I didn't highlight enough of the wins. I would focus too much on mistakes. That's advice I would give if I could do it all back over again, to just be much more positive reinforcement over negative. Founders need someone who can check them. You need to have someone around you, a leadership team, someone that can check you. I didn't have that for a very long time, and that's my fault. Making sure you have good people on your team that can be honest with you, and you create an environment of inviting that feedback and not freaking out when they give it to you, is important. I know I would be a much different CEO today if I did it again. Stop BSing in the interview process. Too many people take jobs not knowing what is going on whatsoever at the company. Far too many senior executives walk into positions and they're like, oh wait a minute. I like to be brutally honest in the interview process. Truth-telling is the beginning of having a great relationship because I want you to understand exactly what's in front of you. If you don't want to take it, that's so much better than hiring a senior exec and six months later, you just lost a year. Stop telling me the wins. In the interview process, stop telling me the wins because anyone can make their job look successful. "Oh, 200% ROI, this, that the other." In an interview, you're not gonna be able to fact-check any of this. We all know people can cherry-pick the data. It's really just diving deep into vulnerable moments about their leadership, the challenges as leaders they had with their teams. I'll tell them my challenges when I was CEO. I want people to be real and allow me to understand how they think, the type of leader they are. Charismatic people can trick you. The problem is that very charismatic people can trick you easily. I've been blinded by a great interview, especially when you're exhausted as a CEO and then someone's bantering with you. You're like, oh, that was fun. But I've hired plenty of people who are all talk.  I don't want personality hires. I'm the personality. My engineering team, I really need people to ship updates. I still wake up in the middle of the night asking if my bills are paid. I still have imposter syndrome about "is this crazy what I've built?" It's for sure not about the car, but I will say investing in a home that's beautiful and makes you feel really good is important. For a long time, I was traveling a lot. I never put roots down, and I always felt like I was in transit. Now I have this beautiful farm with animals and horses in New Hope, Pennsylvania. It takes my blood pressure down immediately. Angel investing has basically become an addiction. In 2020, I opened up a space where I decided I wanted to have kids even though I was single, and also started investing and advising in relevant companies. The first one was Encore Jane, who was building Built, a credit card loyalty platform for renters. I'd always thought, how cool would it be to earn points on rent? I said, You're crazy, but if it does work, it'll be massive. Built is now at $11 billion valuation. I'll make more money now, probably on Built than I will at The Points Guy, which is wild to me. I have probably about 15 other companies I put my personal money in. I love it because I can help advise founders on everything I've done, and help open doors. Using that to build wealth has become an addiction. Relentlessness is what I see in leaders who sustain excellence. I am amazed at Encore's ability to push. If he's got 10 major things impacting his business, most CEOs will start with one or two, put the others on the back burner. He will relentlessly push for excellence. I don't wanna work for Encore, but to be in the room and strategize, every time I leave a meeting with him it keeps me fresh and active.  Find mentors, not just companies. For recent college grads, find people, even at a company where you might not see your future. Find someone at that company that you connect with. If you're looking for a job, interview until you find that hiring manager that you feel is on an upward rise and that you can learn from. We often focus too much on the line of work or the company. Stop focusing on that and look at that manager or the CMO whose organization you would join. If they've done amazing things, get in right away and start networking. Put time on the CMO or CEO's calendar. Be bold. Every senior executive loves to see people come in with eagerness to learn. Show up and do extracurriculars at work. Go to the lunch and learn with the senior executive and actually get face time with them. Make sure they know your name. Those are the things that matter because when it comes time for compensation and reviews, the senior person may not work with you day-to-day, but they're like, oh yeah, that's the person I really like. They are a future leader. That's how you get ahead. Even if that boss leaves to another company, they might take you. Reflection Questions Brian says manifesting alone won't make you wealthy, but visioning what it looks like helps you take the smaller steps to achieve it. What specific vision do you have for your future that you could make more tangible (like his Mercedes pictures on the bedroom wall)? How might making it more concrete change your daily actions? He emphasizes that in interviews, he wants people to stop telling him the wins and instead dive deep into vulnerable moments about their leadership and challenges with their teams. If you were in an interview tomorrow, what's one vulnerable leadership moment you could share that would demonstrate how you think rather than just what you've accomplished? Brian realized he needed to tell his parent company, "I just can't do it anymore" as CEO, and they responded with relief, offering him a better role. What conversation are you avoiding right now because you assume the answer will be no, when the other person might actually be waiting for you to speak up?

Before launching Relos, Zach was the #4 ranked VA lender in the nation, a career he built by focusing not on volume, but on educating veterans about how to leverage their VA home loan benefits. A former Army officer, Zach built his lending business by combining his personal mission with practical insight, and carried that same energy into Relos. Frustrated by the inefficiencies in real estate operations. He created a system that uses AI to extract contract data, assign stakeholder tasks, and help lenders save up to 12 hours per transaction. Now, Zach's focused on scaling Relos into a category-defining platform.   In this episode of the SABM podcast, Scott chats with Zach about: From Lender to Founder: How Zach built a top lending career by educating veterans before shifting into proptech.

Series: GratefulWeek 2 Title: HospitalityMain Scripture: 1 Peter 4:8–10BIG IDEA:Hospitality is what happens when the love God pours into us gets poured out of us.When we are filled with gratitude, what comes out looks like hospitality.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYI. The Context of 1 PeterWritten to believers who were scattered, suffering, pressured, and afraid.Life was tight and overwhelming, but Peter calls them outward—not inward.“Above all, love each other deeply… offer hospitality… use your gifts to serve.”When life presses in, the way of Jesus presses out.Hospitality in a broken world is resistance and spiritual warfare. It's how we make room for others the way God made room for us.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYII. Big Vision for Your LifeTo live a life marked by hospitality—loved by God and sharing that love.Hospitality is not decorating your home—it's making space for people.It's not natural; it's formed. Built. Practiced.It's not a talent but the expression of a heart that has been loved.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYIII. Hospitality Is an ExpectationScripture repeatedly commands it:Romans 12:13 – “Practice hospitality.”Hebrews 13:2 – “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers…”1 Peter 4:9 – “Offer hospitality without grumbling.”Pastors and elders must be hospitable (1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:8).Hospitality isn't optional for believers—it's part of Christlikeness.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYIV. Hospitality Starts With Being Loved1 Peter 4:8 — “Above all, love each other deeply…”Loving well begins with receiving love well.Many struggle to receive love because of wounds from their “inner child.”Spiritual maturity = seeing that inner child but not letting them steer your life.Christ shepherds us; we shepherd the fearful places inside us.You honor the child within you—but you don't let them lead.Many struggle to offer love because they still feel unknown, unsafe, or unloved.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYV. Hospitality Is Love in Action“Offer hospitality… without grumbling” reveals whether it's duty or delight.True hospitality makes room in your heart, not just your home or calendar.Not about hosting; about welcoming.If you're critical of others' hospitality, you may not feel welcome in your own heart.When we're strangers to ourselves, we bury others under unfair pressures.The church becomes powerful when its people carry hospitable hearts.Small groups are hospitality in action—spaces to be known and loved.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYVI. Open Heart Policy1 Peter 4:10 — “Faithful stewards of God's grace…”Hospitality is not “doing something nice.” It's distributing grace.Grace is meant to pass through you, not get stuck in you.Hospitality = living with an open heart, a welcoming presence, an inviting spirit.Limited perspective leads to harmful assumptions that close us off.Without an outlet for grace, our hearts become like the Dead Sea—receiving but never releasing.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYClosingHospitality is not a moment—it's a lifestyle.God made room for us; now we make room for others.Grace isn't meant to be stored. It's meant to be poured.We don't want to just say “thanks”—we want to live gratitude through hospitality.

“When making plans, think big. When making progress, think small.”

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up a cozy seat, queen—this one's an inner-circle chat about building your Icon Blueprint with faith, focus, and follow-through. If you've got a God-sized vision but the “how” feels heavy, I'm handing you a gentle, grounded roadmap: sow the seeds, touch your dream daily, and prepare for the “suddenly.” Because miracles love a woman in motion.We're talking baby steps and bold moves—the tiny habits that stack and the courageous leaps that shift your season. You'll learn how to define a clear vision, align actions with values, practice gratitude that magnetizes, and create a simple quarterly → monthly → weekly rhythm that keeps you moving without burnout or perfectionism.By the end, you'll feel lighter, clearer, and fully resourced to play the long game with divine timing, not frantic hustling. Your dream life is built brick by brick—God's plan, pure perfection—and every seed you plant counts.KEY TAKEAWAYSICON BLUEPRINT = FAITH + ACTION: Sow daily seeds and be ready for your “suddenly.”TRUTH BOMB: Overwhelm isn't a sign to quit; it's a cue to simplify the next step.EMPOWERING SHIFT: From “all at once” to quarterly → monthly → weekly momentum.ALIGNED ACTION: Do one baby step + one bold move today. Touch the dream, don't just think it.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE ICON BLUEPRINT — BABY STEPS + BOLD MOVESYour dream needs all sizes of steps—the tiny consistent ones that compound and the brave, visibility-making leaps. This two-part practice keeps you in motion without the spiral, so you can honor divine timing while taking aligned action every day.STEP 1 — SOW YOUR SEEDS (BABY STEPS): Pick one small, doable action that moves your vision forward today: send the email or make the call, journal or visualize your next milestone, declutter one vibe-killing space, turn off notifications after 8pm, request two phone-free dinners this week, or unfollow/mute 20 energy drains. Touch the dream daily.STEP 2 — SHOOT YOUR SHOT (BOLD MOVES): Choose one courageous action you've been avoiding: go LIVE, deliver the pitch, book the interview, slide into the DMs for the collab, ask for the raise, block time for yourself without apology, or implement the boundary you've been postponing. Momentum loves decisiveness.Pro tip: Break the big annual goal into 4 quarterly goals, then into monthly focuses, then into weekly targets. Build in carryover space, expect detours, and quiet the negative self-talk with a reframe. Celebrate weekly and monthly progress—every seed matters.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: The Magic of Faith and Aligned Action00:34 Sacred Boundaries and Resources01:19 Embracing Big Dreams02:11 Overcoming Fear and Paralysis06:14 Defining Your Iconic Vision07:23 Touching the Dream Daily11:17 Taking Aligned Action17:28 The Myth of Overnight Success21:51 Living in Expectation of Great Things24:57 Playing the Long Game27:27 Conclusion: Keep Sowing Seeds

If you've been pushing hard but losing steam, it's time to recalibrate from the inside out.You had the vision. The plan. The fire. But somewhere along the way, something got heavy.

The interim stage, when most countries were paying a set 10 percent levy, is now shifting, with many countries likely having to pay very substantial tariffs. President Donald Trump has now issued letters to several international leaders announcing the new tariff rates starting August 1st.
