He is a recovering optometrist turned ecommerce entrepreneur. He is the founder of Eye Love, whose mission is to heal 1 million dry eye sufferers naturally. Doctor Travis and his wife, Doctor Jenna Zigler, used the profits from Eye Love to Fund free clinics in Jamaica and the US through their charity, the Eye Believe Foundation. And due to the success of Eye Love, others have asked if Doctor Travis would help them grow their businesses online and more specifically with Amazon, which led to the creation of the profitable Pineapple Ads Agency. Well why pineapple? Well, why not specializing in Amazon PPC? Doctor Travis blogs about Amazon PPC and selling on Amazon, and also has a free Amazon PPC Masterclass, which you can check out at Profitable pineapple.com. So welcome to the podcast, Travis.Travis 00:00:57  Josh, happy to be here and glad to be glad to be providing value to your audience, so looking forward to it.Josh 00:01:03  You had previously started profitable pineapple ads before the exit.Josh 00:01:07  Is that true?Travis 00:01:08  Yeah, so we started about four years ago and the exit was about a year ago. Okay.Josh 00:01:12  And so so yeah, you had already started it. So you already had something else going on, right? Do you feel like that helped?Travis 00:01:18  It did help. But to go back to your question about tips and pointers, it's all about where you find your worth in life. And a lot of us as entrepreneurs find that worth in what we're doing in our business. We bury ourselves in busy work because that's what we feel like is our worth. And it's all about that is finding what makes you feel. I don't want to say worthy, but find out what makes you feel good inside. I'm a creator. I love to educate and so I educated with my dry brand. We had a show called The Dry Eye Show. It was a podcast and a YouTube station. But then in the agency side, I also am. I teach people all the strategies that we used. And so I love to educate people on how to do stuff.Travis 00:02:05  And I was a professor at Ohio State. So I find my value in education, in masterminding with people, in networking. And so as long as that didn't go away when we sold our business, then I would be fine. My wife, on the other hand, I don't think she knows as much. She finds it in motherhood a little bit. But we have we have two kids and they're in school during the day, so. But she also finds it in I think writing is her kind of passion. Is email, copywriting, blog posting and creating that value for people in the written form. But when Eye Love kind of is going away or has gone away, and it's changed over the last year and a half, she didn't get to do that as much as she used to. And so her kind of value and her worth that she felt kind of went away. And so she kind of felt empty inside. And it's very hard. So as an entrepreneur, we need to find our worth in something that we can continue doing even when the business is gone.Travis 00:02:59  That doesn't mean busywork. It just means focusing on what you feel like you were put on this earth to do. And mine is education. And then focusing on our foundation's mission, which is giving people vision that don't have access to eyecare. And so we go on mission trips three, two to 3 to 4 times a year, and we donate to those causes as well. And that's because that's where we find value, is giving people vision because that helps their lives, of course. And then also educating and creating for people to help them learn things as well.Josh 00:03:33  All right. Let's pivot now Travis, into profitable pineapple ads. you know, tell us why you got started in PPC. And let's talk about some of the, you know, tactics that have been working in PPC specifically for now. And then. I know you've got in the Billion Dollar seller summit. you shared some advanced tactics about implementing blog strategies and some of that cool stuff. And so we'll get to that. But let's talk about just regular old PPC to begin with and your journey to where it got to you.Josh 00:04:06  Right now with your agency?Travis 00:04:08  Yeah. So the agency was just born out of a need that we had. And again, listening to the universe and how it's coming at us and taking action on it. And so what happened was we hired multiple agencies, seven agencies total tried six softwares. This was back in 2016 and 2017. And finally I hired a good friend of mine who had a very respectable agency and software. And I thought, you know, I think they're going to do a great job. If they can't do it, then I got to figure it out. And unfortunately, it just didn't work out. And what I found with agencies constantly is they just spend a lot for a little return. And they always promised, yeah, it's coming, it's coming. We're just getting the data. The problem is I kind of knew what to do with the Amazon PPC, ...

In a bonehead and thoughtless move, did Melania— our purported nationalized First Lady — just open herself up to proctologist style cross examination under oath about whether she lives with Trump at Mar a Lago or the White House, or really lives with her son Barron at Trump Tower in New York, and what documents she has to prove any of it? Michael Popok examines the procedure that Melania will be forced to use to prove she is a resident of “Florida” and not New York, as she attempt to get a Trump-appointed Federal Judge to save her from journalist Michael Wolff's state court suit against her after she threatened him with a $1 Billion Dollar defamation case. Popok focuses on just how much this judge is going to allow Wolff's lawyers to delve into Melania's marriage, immigration status, lifestyle and residency.

The discussion centered on Russ's proposal for a private-sector response to government shutdowns affecting aviation, suggesting airlines create a fund to offer interest-free, short-term loans to cover workers' paychecks, arguing that the estimated cost (e.g., $114 million for Delta) would be less than airlines' shutdown-related losses and could save over $1 billion when traveler costs and non-monetary impacts are included. Justin questioned why such a solution had not already been adopted, pointing to information costs or vested interests, while he and Peter analyzed the economic, political, and legal implications of having airlines fund air traffic controllers during shutdowns. The group debated potential benefits and drawbacks, including reduced pressure on the executive branch that might make shutdowns more frequent, and considered whether private solutions could effectively fill gaps left by government absence. The conversation broadened to explore the case for privatizing air traffic control, examining historical reasons for government involvement versus modern technological capabilities, and concluded with plans to discuss additional topics, including a proposed financial initiative for children.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI. In the past few days, Justin Bieber has been visible less for controversy and more as a legacy act stepping confidently into his veteran era, with a few moves that could matter long term. Entertainment Weekly reports that he made a rare live appearance in Los Angeles, surprising a sold out SoFi Stadium when he joined SZA onstage during her Grand National Tour for a duet of their 2023 collaboration Snooze. The performance, complete with playful onstage chemistry and a dramatic lift lowering them beneath the stage, marked his first stadium appearance since his Coachella 2024 cameo and signaled that he is edging back into big venue performance mode rather than full touring.Biographically, the larger backdrop is that 2025 has effectively been his comeback year as a recording artist. Wikipedia and multiple music outlets note that he released back to back albums Swag and Swag II this year, more than 40 new songs that reasserted him as an R and B leaning pop presence after a semi hiatus. The Honey Pop writes that Justin Bieber took first place this year, framing 2025 as the year he quote dominated with those records and reignited Bieber Fever, a characterization that, while fan driven, reflects the volume of coverage around the dual releases.On the business and image side, recent coverage continues to link him to the broader Bieber brand machine. TechnoSuffice estimates his 2025 net worth around 300 million dollars, attributing it to music, past touring and business ventures, and lifestyle press has repeatedly connected him to fashion and potential future drops from his SKYLRK brand, though some of that product speculation for 2026 remains unconfirmed and should be treated as fan and blogger expectation rather than hard fact. Earlier this year, outlets such as AOL highlighted his public support of wife Hailey after her Rhode beauty line was acquired by e.l.f. Cosmetics in a one billion dollar deal, reinforcing his shift into high profile family man and investor adjacent optics more than tabloid chaos.Culturally, his catalog is being treated as modern pop canon. A candlelight string quartet tribute show in Miami this week built its entire set list around his hits from Baby to Peaches to newer cuts like Daisies and Yukon, a reminder that even on nights when he is not physically present, the Bieber narrative has moved into the legacy tribute phase more commonly reserved for acts a decade older.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Political analyst and commentator Jon Justice joins the program to break down the rapidly expanding multi-billion-dollar fraud scandal unfolding in Minnesota. We examine how certain Somali-run networks exploited government welfare programs, how sophisticated money-moving pipelines sent funds overseas — including to regions with known terrorist activity — and how clan-based political structures have influenced enforcement and oversight. We also address the rise of FGM (female genital mutilation) within affected communities, the systemic failures allowing these abuses to continue and much more.

Valero has announced a $1.1 billion exit from its Benicia refinery, choosing to shut down operations rather than continue under California's strict regulatory environment. This closure could remove nearly 9% of the state's in-state gasoline production—and analysts warn it may intensify the ongoing gas price crisis.

Repost: Defending the Underdogs — Cybersecurity Lessons from Kyle Hanslovan (Huntress) This is a repost of an earlier episode of the Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership. In this episode, Jess Larsen sits down with Kyle Hanslovan, cybersecurity expert and CEO of Huntress, to unpack what it really takes to protect small and mid-sized businesses from modern cyber threats. Long before Huntress became a trusted name in defensive security, Kyle's journey began in the U.S. Air Force, continued through the intelligence community, and ultimately led him into the front lines of cybersecurity entrepreneurship. Kyle shares how thinking like an adversary—rather than just reacting to threats—became foundational to his approach, and why strong communication skills are just as critical as technical expertise in the security world. He also tells the origin story of Huntress: a real-world challenge, a bold proof-of-concept, and a clear realization that smaller organizations were dangerously underserved when it came to cyber defense. Even years later, this conversation remains strikingly relevant—offering timeless insights on leadership, problem-solving, and building mission-driven companies that protect the people most often overlooked. If you're interested in cybersecurity, entrepreneurship, or leadership forged under pressure, this episode is well worth revisiting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From a shocking twist in the Brown–MIT shooting investigation to staggering claims of billions in alleged government looting, this episode covers it all. Tara breaks down how online sleuths uncovered connections authorities initially denied, how a homeless Reddit tipster helped crack a murder case, and why prosecutors say Medicaid fraud isn't just overbilling—it's entirely fake companies stealing at scale. Add in visa programs, Ukraine funding, NGO money laundering, and generational debt, and the picture that emerges is unsettling. This isn't just crime—it's a system under strain.

A shocking double revelation unfolds as the Brown and MIT shooting cases collide into one bizarre truth—despite early denials from authorities. As the Internet once again races ahead of investigators, Tara breaks down how online sleuths connected the dots days before law enforcement. Then, the conversation turns explosive: billions of taxpayer dollars, alleged fraud in Minnesota, Somali-linked charities, Medicaid looting, and a system critics say enabled corruption at a historic scale. This isn't ordinary fraud—this is about power, control, and what happens when government becomes the weapon.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Joel Salatin to the show. Joel Salatin is self described Christian Libertarian Environmentalist Capitalist Lunatic Farmer. The episode explores current trends and challenges in agricultural commodities, with a particular focus on beef, poultry, and farming practices. Salatin discusses the significant challenges facing the beef industry, including a severe drought in the southern United States, an aging farming population, and high entry costs for young farmers. The US beef cattle herd is currently at its lowest point since 1950, despite population doubling. This, combined with dietary trends like paleo and keto diets, has created unprecedented market pressure on beef prices. The conversation delves into the problematic nature of industrial farming practices. Salatin critiques the current agricultural system, highlighting how it has pushed biological systems beyond their natural capacity. He emphasizes the importance of creating habitats that allow animals to express their natural characteristics, contrasting this with large-scale industrial farming approaches. A key trend Salatin sees emerging is the “homestead tsunami” – a growing movement of small-scale farming and backyard food production. In 2020 alone, two million backyard chicken flocks started in the US. He believes this smallholder revolution could gradually challenge the industrial agricultural complex, aided by improved distribution logistics and direct-to-consumer online marketing. Regarding his own farm, Polyphase Farm, Salatin explains their approach of diversification and ecological farming. They focus on perennial systems, extensive composting, and creating a farm with multiple economic enterprises. The farm now supports 22 full-time employees and includes a stewardship program to launch young farmers. Salatin predicts future challenges including water scarcity, increasing veterinary problems in livestock industries, and continued pressure from industrial farming models that exceed their efficiency. However, he remains optimistic about the potential for small-scale, ecologically sound farming practices to create meaningful change in agricultural production.

Admirers hail him as the world’s most famous farmer, the high priest of the pasture, and Virginia’s most eclectic thinker since Thomas Jefferson. Detractors label him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate. Armed with high school and college debate trophies, 16 published books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, Salatin draws on decades of food, farming, and fantasy to captivate global audiences. Equally at home herding cows or keynoting for Wall Street CEOs, he covers profitable regenerative farming techniques alongside cultural debates like orthodoxy versus heresy.A master wordsmith, he shifts crowds from laughter to tears, frustration to hope, earning frequent standing ovations. He calls his talks “performances,” thriving on Q&A interaction: “I love the interaction,” he says. Salatin co-owns Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia—showcased in Michael Pollan’s New York Times bestseller Omnivore's Dilemma and the award-winning documentary Food, Inc. The operation serves over 5,000 families, 10 restaurants, and five retail outlets with innovative products like salad bar beef, pigaerator pork, pastured poultry, and forestry goods. It ships nationwide, blending local roots with scalable business reach. When not speaking, Salatin farms hands-on, mentoring youth, inspiring visitors, and championing regenerative food systems. He’s editor of The Stockman Grass Farmer, the grass farming movement’s foundational voice, and pens columns like “Confessions of a Steward” for Plain Values magazine, “Homestead Abundance” for Homestead Living, pieces for Homesteaders of America, and monthly contributions to Manward e-magazine. His blog, Musings from the Lunatic Farmer, and co-hosted podcast BEYOND LABELS with Dr. Sina McCullough, extend his influence. A staple on radio and podcasts for preppers, homesteaders, ecological farmers, and foodies, Salatin blends practical, can-do entrepreneurial solutions with passionate sustainability advocacy.

Farmers are supoosed to share $12 billion dollars to make up for lost markets, higher costs and lower prices due to President’ Trump’s global trade war. The Wall Street Journal editorial said President Trump said he was “delighted to give American Farmers $12 Billion” in economic Assistance. The President of the the American Soybean Assoiation told CNN  that this was just “a bandaid on an open wound” because what farmers want is an opportunity to make a living, to make a profit from the market, “not being dependant on the next program to keep us from bleeding to death.”  Blake Hurst, Missouri soybean farmer, substack author, sometime guest editorial writer to the Walls Street Journal and friend of Farm To Table Talk has some strong feelings and insights he shares with Farm To Table Talk.

Newt talks with Ryan Thorpe, investigative reporter for the City Journal about his article, co-authored with Christopher Rufo, “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer.” Thorpe and Rufo report on a billion-dollar fraud scheme in Minnesota, primarily involving social service programs. The fraud was orchestrated by a nonprofit, Feeding Our Future, which falsely billed the state for feeding children during the COVID-19 pandemic, while the funds were misappropriated for luxury purchases and real estate. Additionally, the Housing Stabilization Services and autism therapy programs were exploited, with fraudulent claims and kickbacks, leading to a near billion-dollar theft. Thorpe highlights the concentration of fraud within the Somali community and the lack of media coverage and political will to address the issue. The fraud has national security implications, as some funds were allegedly funneled to Al-Shabaab through informal money transfer networks. Their discussion underscores the systemic issues in government oversight and the need for policy changes to prevent such fraud. They also discuss the political influence of the Somali community in Minnesota and the challenges faced by whistleblowers within the state government.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
